MADE BOAT FROM SIDE CAR
liable Use for His Motorcycle
Attachment.

On the opening day of the duck sea-
son at Baldwin Lake, Cal, last fall, o
strange craft was sighted in the ell
grass OF the shooting grounds. Its
occupant was known to have ridden
a motorcycle In more than 150 miles
of mountain and desert road, and then
to have been so unfortunate as to find
all the boats gone. When he came In
that night with his limit Of birds, 1t
was seen that he had made q queer
but efficient duck boat out Of his
motorcycle side car.
Wood plugs closed the bolt holes
where II was removed from the frame,
and a can Of pitch. judiciously applied,
sealed all possible leaks. Rock ballast
Of some sixty pounds steadied the
somewhat cranky craft, and Its In
conspicuousness aided the ingenious
sportsman in securing an unusual bag
Of birds. So well pleased was he with
the adventure that now he contem-

TO Be VOTED
ON TOMORROW
of the State of War With
Germany
CAssociated Press1

Washington, April IA joint reso-
luton declaring the state of war be-
tween the United States and Germany
at an end was introduced yesterday
in the House Immediately after it's
approval at a conference between re-
publican leaders and members of the
foreign affairs committee.
The measure was referred to the
foreign affairs committee. Republican
lears plan to bring it up Friday un-
DER a special rule with the hope of

was edclared on Good Friday three
years ago.
The resolution provides for certain
reciprocal trading with Germany and
for repeal of the presidents war pow
ers. 1t allows Germany forty-five

DEVALERA COMPARED TO JET
JERSON DAVIS

The United States was handled
without gloves by Premier Lloyd
George and Sir Edward Carson, the
Ulster unionist leader, in the debate
yesterday in the house of commons on
the second reading of the Irish bill.
The premier said it was action such
as that taken by the United States
Senate in adopting the Irish resolu
ton that had fastered secession.
81 want to say this to our Ameri-
can friends: Mr.. DeValera is putting
forth the same claim in exactly the
same language as Mr.. jefferson Da-
Wis; and the ancestors of some of the
raen who voted for that motion in the
Senate the other day fought to the
death against conceding to the South
ern States of America the very de-
mand their descendants are support
ing for Ireland. The acceptance of
that demand we will never concede.
1t is a demand which if persister IN
will lead to exactly the same meas
ures of repression as in the Southern
States of America. We claim nothing
more than the United States claimed
for themselves, and we will stand no
less"

Of the wonders of the Imperial valley
In California. AT the present time the
SaltOn sea, which is 160 feet below
the oceans level, is receding from its

mile a year. Today the sea is 1S

neighborhood Is from 10 to 20 degrees
cooler than that of the surrounding
country and outdoor dances are held
on one of the abandoned ash-piers
left high and dry by the receding wa
ters. The Salton sea Is situated In
the very heart of the principal date

land left bare by the retreating wa

AMERICA LEGION
MEETS TONIGHT
Permanent Club Rooms and baseball
Nine Among Things to be
Discussed

Marion County Post No. / of the
American Legion holds it's regular
monthly meeting in the Board of
Trade room tonight at o'clock. At
this meeting there will be a discus
sion Of the possibility of obtaining
permanent quarters for the organiza-
ton. The possibility of organizing a
post baseball team for the summer
months will also be discussed.
A number of important bulletins
have been received from national
headquarters and will be read at to-
nights meeting. Among these is a
bulletin with regard to increased over
seas pay. 1t is as follows:
Under date Of Jan. 81, 1920, the
comptroller of the treasury rendered
decision in which he held that SOL
diers on foreign service, where 20
per cent increase is payable, are en-
titled to such increase on and after
July IL, 1919, on their entire base
pay instead of on their old base pay
as was authorized during the world
war.
This decision will have the effect of
increasing the pay of a private on
foreign service to $50 instead of $33
as heretofore paid during the war
period, such increase being effective
on and after July IL, 1919.
The beneficiaries under this decis-
ion are those enlisted men who were
serving in Europe, the Philippine ISL
ards and Alaska on and after July
IL. 1919, and they will be entitled to
additional pay as follows:
Those who received $33 TO $40.20
per month, So per month.
Those who received $4,000, $2.40
per month.
Those who received $44 to $5S. $1.60
per month.
Those who received $50 or more,
$1.20 per month.
The above rates of pay pertain only
to those men who were serving In
their first enlistment. Twenty per
cent increase is not payable for serv-
ice in the canal zone, Panama, Porto
Rico and Hawaii. Additional pay due
for foreign service during current en-
lIstment will be adjusted on pay rolls.
AAG OAA~G O4s QAIGGIOE III H1AdHGG II
prepared to pay the claims arising
under this decision. Discharged SOL
diers who returned to the United
States after July IL. 1919, should
make application to the Director of
Finance, Claims Division, Munitions
Building, Washington, ID. c.. for
blanks on which to submit their
claims. AS these claims are not so
complex as those for back pay and
refund of allotments, it will be pos
sible to pay them more promptly, but
as it is estimated that there will be
between 250.000 and 100000 soldiers
who will submit claims under this de-
cision, manifestly it viii take some
time to make all payments, but claims
will be settled in order of their re-
ceipt. In requesting blanks, soldiers
should print their name and address,
in addition to signing the request, in
order that proper record may be OBJ
tanned, and to avoid delay in letters
being misdirected.
The director of finance states that
it is impractical to furnish forms for
distribution. They can only be fur
nished individually on application as
stated in the preceding paragraph.
1t is requested that the attention
of those interested be called to this
bulletin. Franklin D'Olier,
National Commander.

1T WAS WHOLLY UNPREPARED
Says Admiral Fiske of the Navy at
the Beginning of the War

Washington, April 1.-The navy
was unprepared for war in 1917 be-
cause of the mental and tempera-
mental characteristics of the man at
its head and the course he pursued"
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske de-
clared yesterday before the Senate
committee investigating the navy's
conduct of the war.
"To prevent unpreparedness in the
future" Admiral Fiske said. "the
most important thing is to improve
the spirit of the men and the spirit of
cooperation among departmental
chiefs. By following out a prepared
program preparedness can be assur-
ed
Admiral Fiske was aide for opera
tions and senior secretary to the sec
retary of the navy for several years
before the war, but resigned the lat
ter post with the abolition of wine in
the mess aboard ship and because of
lack of preparedness.
From 1915 to 1917 the navy should
have been preparing for the war from
g standpoint of material and person
mel, but the government lacked any
well prepared war plans. He said he
and other officers urged an adequate
organization for several years.
Plans in 1910 and 1911 when he was
a member of the board. did not con-
tain one per cent of what they should
embody, Admiral Fiske testified. and
in 1914, when war broke out in Eu-
rope, the navy was WHOLLY unpre-
pared for war"
