FLETCHER QUITS POST
Resigns As U. S. Ambassador To
Mexico.
Declares He Could Not Return To
Southern Republic With Benefit
To Either Country.

Washington.-Henry P. Fletcher has
resigned as United States ambassador
to Mexico to take effect within a few
weeks.
Those who know the reason for Mr..
Fletcher's decision say he was con-
WINGED contribution Of the efforts he
has made during the four years in
which he has held tits important post
to bring the Carranza government into
accord with the United States on the
many irritating issues which have
arisen, involving protection of Amer
lean lives and property rights, would
be futile. He terminates 18 years Of
diplomatic service with regret and
without any particular plans for his
future, but feels certain he can no
longer be helpful in cultivating proper
relations with iAexico as long as Car
rama remains in control. The amba.;-
sador's activity in representation of
the American demands have made 1t
certain that he could not return to his
post with benefit to either government.
Mr.. Fletcher's resignation was not
hastily determined upon and, in fact,
last summer he sought to close his rela-
tions with the State department. But,
owing to the state of public business
and the illness of some higher officials.
he was induced to remain in Washing
ton to act as adviser to the Secretary
in matters relating to all Latin
America.
Mr.. Fletcher was appointed ambassa-
dor to Mexico in February, 1916, but
did not 60 to Mexico City until Febru-
airy, 1917, having come from Chile,
where he was American ambassador
for conferences.
Relations between the United States
| and Mexico were critical when Mr..
Fletcher reached Mexico City, owing
to the border raids and to German in
trigue in the southern republic. As
result, he was from the first confronted
by serious problems. Little more than
two months after his arrival he was
Kissed in the Mexican chamber of depu.
ties when he attended the opening ses-
sion.
Mr.. Fletcher returned from Mexico a
year ago and the affairs of the embassy
have been conducted by G. T. Sum-
merlin, as charge d'affaires.

Royal Grapes at Low Prices.

The vine which belonged to the
kings of France still exists at Fon-
tainebleau and bears fruit. One day
in September the administration Of
the demesnes, according to established
custom, sold the grapes by award.
There were 600 kil3s Of grapes, and
the astonishing thingzis that they sold
for 525 francs!a Yet the little COM
mon grapes to be bought ona the Paris
street barrows fetch from 20 to Is
sous the pound. Royal grapes grow
cheap these days in France, it would
seem. Those purchasers must have
thought themselves, fortunate; cheal
and good Is not a combination often
TO be met with in France nowadays.

California Canal
May Open Lands
To Benefit Soldiers

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26-Construc-
ton of an All-American canal along
the California border to remove from
Mexico control over the system of the
Imperial Valley, the largest irrigation
project in the United States, is con-
templated in a bill Representative
Kettner of California plans to intro
duce in the House. 1t will make pro-
vision for opening to purchase or
settlement by honorably discharged
soldiers, sailors and marines with war
service of 200, 900 acres of public lands
on the east mesa of the Valley, which
will be ~irrigable from the proposed
canal.
The bill is a redraft worked out dur
ing the holiday recess by a sub-com-
mittee of the House Committee on
Irrigation of Arid Lands, which has
had several measures designed to re
ieve the situation existing in Imperial
Valley under consideration. Hearings
before the committee brought out that
the crops of the Imperial Valley,
which residents said reach a value OF
~S6e,O0Q.0Q0. annually, are dependent up
on the uninterrupted flow of the main
canal of the irrigation system which,
from the diversion point on the Colora-
do river, swings through Mexican ter
-ritory for 40 miles before distribution
is made to the American T~anehers.
The water users on the Mexican side,
where over 1000 acres are being
irrigated, do not wish to join in the
maintenance of the main canal and
the protective works in Mexico, ac-
cording to testimony presented to the
Congressional committee.
Relief is sought through the build
ing of a highline canal entirely on
American soil, making necessary a
cut through a low range of sandhills,
which the present main canal avoids
by the detour into Mexico. Approx
imately 100000 acres of withdrawn
public lands, similar in quality to that
of Imperial Valley but lying above the

With this issue, the Maui News
modestly takes its place among the
sisterhood of Hawaiian newspapers.
No Interior purpose has brought the
News into existence. The psyoholog,
ical moment for its appearance has
arrived and it is here merely to en-
joy the luxury of flourishing in Maui
the loveliest, healthiest and altogether
most delightful Island in" Hawaii mel,
The reception which it's proposed
advent has met among the people of
the Islands generally the people of
Maui particularly, indicates that it is
destined, if worthy, to live a long and
useful life.
No effort will be spared to make it
bright, newsy and interesting; still,
it will o indulge in yellow journal
ism-any further than can be avoided.
No parent need fear to put it into
the hands of his sons and daughters,
for it will be pure, ocean and sweet
to the taste.
Independent in politics, religion and
literature, it will advocate first the
interests of Maui, next those of the
Islands at large, and what time or
space may be left will be devoted to
regulating the affairs of the world
generally.
