Euer Liue In Texas?
Continued from yesterday

Every Texan is proud of the Lone
Star State, the home of the Alamo. 1t
is the largest in the Union, has dis
tinctiye history and has sent some of
the greatest statesmen to congress. Its
large area and immense population give
it much influence in national affairs
from that .exerted by its congressman as
individuals.
Former residents of Texas now living
in Imperial valley can render great
service to themselves and neighbors as
we'll as paying a patriotic debt of graft
tude to the men who fought in the great
war, by using theis influence with mem
bers of congress. Imperial valley ana
the American Legion are bringing every
possible influence to bear upon congress
to pass HR 1853, formerly HR 6O44,
better known as the Kettner bill. This
measure provides for the construction
of an all-American canal and soldier set
tlement in Imperial valley.
Former residents of Texas are urged
to address letters TO congressman in
whose districts they have lived, asking
support of the bill. The receipt of such
letters will be cumulative, and support
should also be asked in similar man
her from friends who still reside in
Texas.
Get intouch with Secretary McIver,
of the Imperial Irrigation district, and
he will help you in writing your letters,
if you wish. Also, advise him to whom
you write and what you have said, if
possible. Letters to the congressman
should be addressed to the House Of
flee Building, Washington, d. c.

CHIEF
VO Cooperation GiUen Him in
London, Assertion; Instruct
ed not to let Englend Pull
Wool OUer his Eyes; Didn't
Care Who We Fought.
(By Associated Press)

: WASHINGTON, Jan. 17-Rear
Admiral Sims told the senate COM
mittee investigation naval awards
to-day that when he was ordered to
England, March /, 1917 Just before
the United States entered the war
he was instructed by the navy de-
parment mot to let the British
pull the wool over your eyes" that
I'VE would just as soon fight the
British as the central powers"
He also charged that American naval
headquarters in London did not receive
cooperation from the navy department
and did not arrive at a decided plan oi
action until 10 months after he arrived
in London. He added "it was 10 months
before we really came to the aid of the
allies or acted on their recommends
tions"
His testimony was in the form of a
letter to Secretary Daniels which was
entitled "Some Naval Lessons of the
Great War;, which the secretary receiv
ed several days ago. The letter criti
cized the department for attempting to
administer details of the action of the
Aemrican forces overseas. He alleged
the department demanded that it be
fully permitted to pass on all plans even
those regarding action against the ene
my.
Sims told the committee he had rec.
commended for decoration five times as
many officers who served at sea as he
had officers who served on shore. He
read letter he wrote Commando Bag.
Gey expressing great regret that Secre.
tary Daniels should "have been so bad.
ly advised in this matter of awarding
the distinguished service medal to Bag
ley" and said he had written the letter
after he had written Secretary Daniels
criticiZing the circumstances.
German vessels did not generally at
tack combatant vessels, Sims said, add.
ing that Bagley's destroyer was sunk
by chance shot. Discussing the sub
warfare he said if the United States had
had 500 destroyers when it entered the
war it would never have had to fear
the campaign.
Senator Pittman declared Sims was
in the minority of naval officers.
The admiral said he was but the
others were not in position to judge
fairly, and that he had requested re-
peatedly for officers to be sent to
London to assist him. He said he did
not receive any until four months after
the United States entered the war.

Edward C. Griffith, IS, a machinist
and Llewellyn F. Powell 20, who claims
to be an artist, are being held at the
county Jail, charged with the stealing
of machine from in front of the Elks
Lodge in Long Beach some time ago.
The men were taken into custody by
Deputy Curly" Brumbly, when they
tried to sell the car to him, it is a 1918
Oldsmobile.
They had evidently intended to visit
all their old friends, in the East, for
on their person they had hundreds of
pictures of girls from all over the
country, pretty and otherwise.
Soon after taken to the county Jail
the men were taken to the Chow" hall
and fed up" the confession followed
They had secured a visitors license and
had placed Colorado name plate on
the car.
When arrested their total capital
amounted six cents, the theory is that
the attempted to sell the car for their
money was running low.
