every sort Of crime?
How silly it is for the nations tt
make any sort of agreement about
the conduct of war-how men shall
be killed, and how they shall not be
killed; what deadly implements shall
be used, and what shall not be used
Such agreements have always beer
broken and always will be.
Unless the nations outlaw war, un.
less they declare what acts consti'
tute war, fix penalties, and arrange
for their enforcement; unless they
agree on a plan to restrain war-like
nations, like we restrain individuals
who threaten to violate the law-un.
less these things are done the next
war may mark the end of civilization
The Lewis Gas
Here are some facts about the
Lewis gar: It has a spread IS times
greater than any gas used in the
late war. The gas used in the WorlG
War would easily spread three o,
four blocks-one-fourth of mile
The Lewis gas will spread IS times
that distance-from 10 to IA miles.
The city of London proper is but
II miles square, and greater London
is rs miles square. If Lewis gas
should be discharged in the heart OF
this city, with it's eight million pop
ulation, it would spread to the limits
of the city.
If Lewis gas was set loose in the
center of Chicago, which is but IL
miles square, it would envelop every
home, every building in the city.
There are no means of detecting
Lewis gas until it comes in contact
with the body. It cannot be seen, o,
heard, or smelled, or tasted.
1t is heavier than air. 1t never
rises. It penetrates every crack ano
crevice.
There is no defense against Lewis
gas. The air it poisons cannot be
purified by gas masks.
When Lewis gas touches human
flesh, the flesh Immediately putrifies
|-rots-and the qualification extends
throughout the body, causing instant
death!
By wireless we can send out anc
bring back an airplane that will dis.
charge two tons of Lewis gas at 9
given point.
This gas was invented by Prof
Lewis, a chemist in one of our great
American universities. Our govern.
ment was manufacturing it at Balti.
more when the war closed. It was tc
be sent at once for use by the allies
It is believed that Germany knew il
was coming, and that this knowledge
fastened the armistice.
We do not know if other nations
have the formula for Lewis gas
they do know that we have it, and
their chemists, of course, have beer
studying and experimenting since the
war. No doubt the secret is known
to all the great nations.
Armies and navies will not fight
the wars of the future. There must
be no wars in the future if civiiza-
ton is to endure.
There is nothing worthwhile il
wars are to continue. - Yeomar

WHY CARRY ON IF WARS CONTINUE?

There is but one kind of war that
is unlawful, and that is war for lib
erty and freedom. Our revolution
airy fathers, led by Washington, were
a band of traitors, while England's
conquest of the Beers was lawful.
The French peasants who struck
for liberty, revolted against the old
Bourbon kings and overthrow them,
were rioters and traitors and law
breakers, while the Kaiser violated
no written law when he invaded
France in 1914.
There is no law against one nation
attacking another. Wars of con-
quest are not unlawful. At the close
of the World War, the allied nations
in chorus demanded the Kaiser from
Holland that he might be tried. Hol-
land answered in a 500-page brief,
showing the Kaiser had violated no
law. In making war on other ma
lions he had only followed the prec-
edent set by those nations. Holland
set forth instance after instance
where England, France and other ma
lions had made war on other coun-
tries and invaded their territory.
Holland cited many cases where the
allied nations that were clamoring
for the Kaiser had provided haven
for princes and kings and refugees
who had lost battles. If custom
makes laws, the Kaiser was limo
cent, for he had followed custom.
So the Kaiser was not tried-and
he never will be tried. He had not
violated any international law, for
there is no such law against war.
True, he had violated his treaty with
Belgium, but that treaty, as all
others are, was an agreement without
a penalty. An agreement, or a
treaty, without a penalty, without a
court or some legal institution to de-
.,de whether it has been broken, and
if so fix and enforce the penalty, is
exactly what Won Bethman Hollwig
said it is-a mere scrap Of paper.
Society's war system is as old as
society, and is as legal as society's
systems Of religion.
The world ought to be put under
law. War should be outlawed. The
world has outlawed the traffic in
slaves, and women, and opium-why
not outlaw war, a more deadly enemy
to society?
The diplomats of the nations meet
occasionally and discuss methods that
is claimed will make war humane.
In our country efforts were made
for years to make the liquor traffic
and saloons decent. Saloons could
not run in Easements or back rooms
or behind screens; liquor could not
be sold to minors; the doors must
close at certain hours; the place could
not run on Sundays, etc. But it was
learned that with every possible re-
striction saloons could not be made
decent-so the saloon was outlawed.
Nor can war be made humane.
War carries with it the UNPUBLISHED
violation of every known law-mur-
ders, arson, appropriation Of prop
erty, the starving and abuse of wo-
men and children, etc. War suspends
civil, humane and representative gov
eminent. How can the system of
war be made humane when it affords

Women Appreciate Fine
Com DIiments of Mr.. Holt

That was graceful compliment
which w. +. Holt paid to the pio-
neer women of Imperial Valley yes
terday at the chamber of commerce
meeting, and those who know Mr..
Holt best know that it was spoken
out of a sincere heart and a fair
,hnind. None know better than Mr..
Holt how much the valley owes to
the, women of that day. As he said.
they came, many of them, with
their children, from good homes
with modern comforts and conven-
fences, and with II courage equal to
that Of any soldier on the battle
field, made life here endurable and
held the men steadily to their tasks.
1t was the same spirit that char
acterized the Pilgrim Fathers who
landed ON Plymouth Rock; the spirit
that caused men and women to
cross the plains and come to Cali
fornia in 40; the spirit that must
be taken into any new country that
is to bet settled up.
Not very many Of the pioneer
women of Imperial Valley are here
now, but like the Arganauts, they
have left indellible marks Of their
personality and work upon all that
has come to pass, or will come to
pass in the years to come.

Great Engineering Feat Was
Building of S. d. & A. Railway

One of the greatest engineering
fcats in the development of the
Southwest was the construction Of
the San Diego and Arizona Railway,
completed December l, 1919, form
ing in its connections with the
Southern Pacific, new transcontin-
entail route between San Diego and
the Atlantic Coast. The present
route Of the road was laid out in
1907, though preliminary surveys
had been made much easier, and the
idea of building a railroad from
san Diego to the interior had been
talked of for many years.
The length Of the railroad be-
tween San Diego and FL Centre is
ll8 miles, the elevation ranging
from 1860 feet above sea level at
lIipass, to So feet below sea level
at FL Centre. Probably the most in
teresting phase Of the construction
work is the u tunnels between San
Diego and FL Centre, II of which
are located in Carriso Gorge! The
tunnels range from $3.50 feet in
length to 2S7 feet. OF the four tun-
nels outside Of the Garriso Gorge
section, three arc entirely in Mcxi-
go, and one partly in that country
and partly in the United States.
The tunnels added greatly to the
engineering construction problems,
one tunnel probably being through
solid rock and needing no support
and the next one, like as not,
through hard enough penetration,
but requiring heavy timber con
struction because of its peculiar
formation. The tunnels cost approx
imately Sl.760,200 and passengers
travelling through them are not
bothered with smoke or fumes as is
the east in most tunnels. This is
due to the large bore of the tunnels,
the exceptionally light atmosphere,
and slight draft continually
blowing through Carriso Gorge.
Famed for Beauty
Carriso Gorge itself is rapidly as

suming n place as one Of the scenic
beauty spots of the country and its
fame is being heralded throughout
the. east by hundreds OF tourists
who have Travelled through il. Aside
from being a wonderful speciman of
engineering, the wild beauty of the
gorge, the wonderful coloring, the
shadows, the light play on the tow
ering peaks, all combine to beggar
description and awe the traveller
with their majesty. The depth
from the railroad to the bottom Of
the gorge is 900 feet, and at the
bottom, Carriso creek winds its mvs
terious way, during the rainy sea
son. CarrisO Gorge takes its name
from a wild grass found in the bot
tom of the gorge, used by the In
dians in basket making. The noun
tains are a southerly extension of
the Sierra Nevada Range and un-
doubtedly are Of volcanic origin.
The San Diego and Arizona oper-
atcs daylight trains through the
gorge, and ut stated intervals dur
ing the winter excursion trains from
San Diego TO the gorge, when hun
dreds of tourists sojourning on the
coast take advantage of the oppor-
tunity TO see this marvel of the

Another noted place on the San
Diego and Arizona is Tijuana, Mex
leo, scene of the Lower California
Jockey Club, which holds 100 day
racing season each year, Mt which
the finest horses in America are
participants and . large attendance
of racing enthusiasts is drawn from
all parts of the world. Old Town,
at Tijuana is quaint old Mexican
settlement, retaining the old modes
OF living prevalent in the early his
tory of Southern California.
The San Diego and Arizona Rail
way is owned Jointly by John D..
and A. b. Spreckels, millionaire
promoters and financiers of San
Diego, and one half by the South
ern Pacific Company. The total
cost Of the railroad has been esti-
mated at $l8,000,000 and it is noted
as the only railroad on which con
struction was continued during the
entire period Of the World War. In
conjunction with the Southern Pa
cific, it provides railroad directly
parallel to the entire northern boun-
dary of Mexico, a valuable asset to
the United States from military
standpoint. 1t also establishes the
shortest route between Kansas CITY
and Pacific Tidewater and New
