CRISIS SEEN NEAR
IN INDIA SALT WAR
Volunteers Gather for Raid
on WadaIa as Police Pre-
pare for Them.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOMBAY, May 1.-THE salt war"
in Bombay presidency tonight appeared
to be working to crisis.
While successive groups Of civil
resistance volunteers poured into
Dharasana to carry on the campaign
against government salt depot there
begun by Mrs Sarojini Naidu, 400 other
volunteers assembled this afternoon in
Bombay and planned to march tomor-
row on the salt depot at Wadala, six
miles away.
A large force of police has been called
out to Illustrate the attempt, the
nucleus of their concentration being at
Jacob Circle, on the line of March to
Wadala. The volunteers changed their
plan Of marching en- masse and de-
cided to split into small groups so as to
spread out the police. It was believed
they planned to reassemble at Gowari,
which is near the salt pans, and launch
q raid from there.
A third raid Is projected at the
Shiroda Salt Works and the police
have made preparations to meet any
contingency there.
The third attempt to capture the
Dharasana salt pans, made by followers
Of Mrs. Naidu without her personal
leadership, was stopped by police today.
The volunteers were halted in the road,
as they were in the other forays. and
surrounded by Gordon Of officers.
They showed passive resistance in the
other attempts, spinning cloth and sing
ing religious songs.
1t is understood that Mrs Naidu,
having begun the Dharasana campaign.
feels that she needs no longer stay at
her camp, Untadi. That place will re-
main her headquarters, but she will
tour the country to further the civil
disobedience campaign and leave the
Dharasana movement In the hands Of
her council Of war.
The immediate objective Of Mrs.
Naidu, who heads the entire civil diso-
bedience campaign now that Mahatna
Gandhi and Abbab Tyabji have been
arrested, Is declared to be Sholapur,
the city torn by riots last week and now
| under martial law.
The wearing Of Gandhi caps has
been banned in Sholapur, and the re-
sistance leaders are said to consider
that ban q challenge which should be
taken up. Meanwhile police guards
have replaced large number Of troops
in Sholapur and the city appears to be
calming down.
Contrary to previous reports. the 225
volunteers who were arrested yester-
day at Dharasana have not yet been
released. One hundred and ninety of
them are charged with being members
of an unlawful assembly. The other
IS, led by s. S. Batliwala, son Of DR..
Batliwala, former president Of the
Bombay municipal corporation, are
charged with violence in addition.
Thirty of the latter group have been
on a hunger strike since yesterday and
char0e that thew were iNsllitAd hv a
police oficer. The oflcer in charge
today offered an apology in behalf of
an absent colleague, but Batliwala
would not accept 1t.
Bail was offered for all the volun-
teers but they declined 1t. A magistrate
has arrived from Bulsar to conduct
their trial.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 17.-Final transfers on
the PREPARATIONS account under the
Dawes plan were made here today by
s. Parker Gilbert, agent general fer
reparations. With a Joint report pre-
sented by the Preparations Commission
and the German War-burdens Com
mission. the Young plan, as provided
in The Hague agreement Of January
20, came into force.
A special committee examined the
accounts Of the transition period and
notified Mr.. Gilbert that the repara-
tions account with the Reichsbank had
been found correct and approved.
With the reimbursement to Germany
by Mr.. Gilbert of about $4,000, 900
marks, accounts between the agent gen.
eral and the German government were
finally closed. A sum of los, 0o0, 900
marks in foreign currencies deposited

OCCUPATION ARMY
TO QUIT RHINE SOON
Last Of French Troops Are Or
dered to Leave German
Territory.

PARIS, May 1.-THE last Rhine
bridgehead held by the French army of
occupation was today ordered progress
sively evacuated.
Premier Andre Tardieu, who has been
discussing evacuation of the third occu-
pied zone with Ambassador Won Hoesch
of Germany and high French military
authorities this week, announced In a
communique that Germany had car
ried out all the necessary conditions
for acceptance of the Young plan.
Under the plan, it was provided that
the French troops should leave the
Rhineland by June 80, 1880, but IN case
Germany ratified the plan with the
other countries earlier, the way was LETT
open for speedier French withdrawal.
Two important steps in all were today
to efface survivals Of wartime policy.
While Premier Tardieu was giving
orders for the evacuation of the last
slice Of German soil occupied by the
allies, the Preparations Commission de-
cided that everything necessary had
been done to substitute the Young plan
for the Dawes plan.
It agreed to destroy the old papers
connected with the original reparations
obllgaClonS, winch Germany mao Lurl.eo
over to it. After the destruction of these
the commissions existence will end.
The commission was one Of the most
important organizations set up by the
treaty of Versailles. At the outset, it
had such large powers as that of fixing
the total reparations Germany owed
her war creditors.
This it set at $4,000, 900 900 gold
marks, which was progressively reduced
to about $4,000, 100000 In the Young
plan.
The commission today provided for
turning over to the Bank of Interna-
tional Settlements such of its papers as
would be useful in the execution of the
banks task of handling German pay
ments.
Germany has deposited with The bank
a certificate acknowledging its total
debt.

Imperial Valley is one of the few
outstanding spots in the United

Of March /, which appears in the
United States Chamber of Commerce
publication, "Nation s Business,

Of Commerce has taken much inter

all parts of the United States and
has much Influence on the minds

Tie local Chamber therefore OBJ

pelial Valley was misrepresented
and is much gratified to see this sec
ton in its rightful color and one OF
the few "white spots' in the en-

The map as whole shows grey,
OF fair business. with seven small
black spots, indicating quiet bust

east and south, all center around
some one city, rather than represent
ing larger community. The only
larger white spots are in the ter
ritory from Lordsburg, n. NJ. ex-
tending to Ell Paso and the white
strip which covers Imperial Valley
and southern Arizona. There are but
i,ine white spots on the entire map
ald Imperial Valley is in the larg-

shown in California or any other
western state except Arizona and

HAY GRADING
WORK TO BEGIN
ABOUT APRIL |

Word has just been received at
the Farm bureau office from r. f.
Blair of the State Department of
Agriculture that Gilbert Fuller, who
vii have charge of hay grading in
the Imperial Valley. will be in the
Valley April !, ready to begin ope-
rations. Fuller will be accompanied
fy Walter Morgan, who is in charge
OF hay grading in California and
Arizona for the L. $. Department OF
Agriculture. 1t is understood that
Morgan will remain here until the
work is well under way. Fuller and
Morgan will be located in the court
house, FL Centre, the board of su-
pcrvisors having assigned the space
in the same room with the farm ad-
visor and Farm bureau and their
phone calls will be handled by the
EARN advisors staff.
The location of state federal hay
inspection in Imperial Valley marks
another step in the campaign put
on by the Imperial Valley Hav I'm
provement association and the Farm
bureau for better Imperial Valley
hay and better marketing condition
Imperial Valley will be the first
district in California to obtain point
of origin hay inspection. This indi-
Gates the great Importance attached
TO it as a hay producing area by the
state and federal departments of
agriculture. The big hay producing
area around Stockton is now cn-
deavoring to obtain this service but
VIII probably have to wait until the
necessary money can be appropri-
ated.
BY the use of certificates issued
by the inspectors, Imperial Valley
growers can sell hay to any part of
the United States and the certifi-
c.;tes will determine the quality of
tie hay. This will he particularly
valuable if freight rates can be OBJ
Gained which will allow the ship
mint of hay to eastern points. The
Farm bureau has already made ap-
plication to the Southern Pacific
company for freight rates that will
allcw the movement of hay to the
cast.
