PAK1S, Nov. l-.ndaiKoftho
Inkhitr of Dlxmude, which the flcr
huuir still hold, but which thus fnr
lins brought thctn no ndvnntngr, have
ronohed here. The capture of the
town, it rippenrs, wns iluo to a mis
tnko ou the part of thu Fretteh tle
tnrhincnt. '" I '
When tho figlilinp'sfilrK'il the Hel
pinns were entrenched north of the
eity, protecting the Keyen road. To
their right, turneil lownnt the west in
the direction of Essen, were tlie Sen
egnleso riflemen. To tho south tlie
French bluejnekets occupied tlie most
exposed position on tho Slerken rond.
Tho enemy opened n terrific bom
bardment nt 5 o'clock in the room
ing of Tuesday Inst, during which the
admiral, who was in command of the
sailor and who was making n recon
naissance, just missed being hit by
the fragment of a shell.
fho men waited patiently in thu
trenches. Toward 1 p. m. tlie can
nonading slackened and three dense
columns of (lerman infantry oened
lire on the trenches. One column
threatened to turn the Helgiaus, who
overpowered by numbers, retired on
the outskirts of the city. They were
followed by the Senegalese, who
thought that an order for a general
retreat had been given. This move
ment uncovered the bluejackets, who,
however, continued to hold their
ground.
While part of the enemy advanced
on Dixmuda by the Essen and Keyen
roads left open to them, tho rest came
at the double-quick for the sailors.
Faced by tho Prussian guard, they
wero in danger of being surrounded.
Undaunted, however, they dashed
with tho bayonet upon the Germans,
but wero overwhelmed by numbers
and beaten back to tho trendies.
Asked to surrender, they rcolicd in
the words credited to General Cnm
bronnc at Waterloo, when, in similar
circumstances, he said:
"The guard dies, but never surren
ders." For several hours they held off the
dentin u, who were four times as nu
merous, charging their ranks every
time tliev came too near.
PEACE EFFORTS
A
E
WASHINGTON, Xov. 17. Efforts
by tho United States to bring peace
to Europe still arc awaiting a timo
when one or more of the belligerents
indicates u willingness to accept me
diation. This becamo known authoritative
ly today from persons who have lnte
1.V discussed the Europcnn situation
with President Wilson. The presi
dent's position is that the United
States, having already in a fonnul ns
well as in nn informal way shown its
readiness to act ns un intermediary,
should now await the initiative of tho
belligerents. Ho feels that the Amer
ican government, by pressing for
peace, might get in a position where
its ultuunto influcnco to that end
would be impaired.
Tlicro bus been much discussion
nmong neutral conntries, puch ns
Holland and Spain, of the desirabil
ity of concerted action. Whilo the
United States would not hesitate to
join in such a movement, if any of
the belligerent countnes showed a de
sire (o accept tho mediation of sev
ci ui neutral countries, instead of one,
tho American government will for tho
present refrain from taking the in
itiative toward joint action with oilier
iiciitval nations.

ELECTION
IE
OF SLAV ARMY
IlKMiIX, Nov. 17. A general vlow
of the Mutation in the eastern arena,
based on Information given out In
Herlln, Indicates that the Intcst Her
man victories arc such that tho ad
vance ot the lliiBslans has been rend
ered more difficult.
This success, however, does not
mean that the Kusslan movement li.i3
collapsed. Considering tho enormous
numbers of available soldiers, it jlocs
not mean even the dlscontlunucu ot
the Husslan offensive.
The great difficulty for the ltus
slans is found on the Vistula, which
separates both wings of their army.
The Russian army which was beaten
near Wloclawek, and which appar
ently came from Warsaw, was driven
back In a southerly dlreltlon, not In
the direction from which it had ad
vanced. It was forced along a road
running from Kutno to Gombln,
white the northern Russian army,
opratlng near Soldau, was forced back
to Plock by way of l.Ipno. The Ger
mans now aro standing on the right
wing of the main Russian army; con
sequently they havo won a tactical
success. In addition to creating a fav
orable strategic situation.
News reaching here rtom Vienna Is
to the effect that all along the
Galtcian border the military activity
leads German observers to supposo
that the Austrlans also have taken
tho offensive.
ADVANTAGES FOR MAKING
DISTRICTS FOR IRRIGATION
(Continued from jk I.)
jeet to Irrigation from the same gen
eral source of supply.
Conipnrl.-on With Water System
It compares very much to the put
ting ot a water system in a town,
where the cost of Installation will
become a general debt on the whole
community, rather than to attempt
to charge only those who uso the
water. It goes without saying that If
tho system Is a success, all of the poo
plu within the district whoso lands
can be Irrigated from tte system will
eventually take ' the water. They
will at least have au opportunity. It
will put new values into the lands
within the district because the poo-
plo to whom they may sell have the
opportunity of putting tho water upon
the land, so that as to the two plans
It is undoubtedly fairer and more
to the good eventually of tho Indi
vidual land owner to have a district
created whereby the cost Is spread
over the entire district, and repre
sented by bonds which are defined
and provided for by law, and which
make tho payments easier than thoy
would bo under the contract system.
Security for Itond.s
The great trouble with Irrigation
district bonds of late years has been
the market. However, this valley Is
particularly suited to the creation of
such a district, because the land Is In
a high state of cultivation, Is of Im
mense value and makes tho security
attractive. Whereas, In tho past tho
trouble has been that the districts
have been created largely In tho arid
sections where tho land has llttlo or
no value until after the water is
put uon it, and whero In some cases
there has been so much alkali that
tho system ot Irrigation has ruined
the land. Hut with a valley thickly
settled, and with rich soil, and in a
high state of cultivation, and with
good permanent Improvements the
bonds ought to find a market. Thoy
would find a market more readily
than the Individual contracts, because
in tho case ot default on the Indi
vidual contracts there would have to
be some proceeding upon each ono
separately. Whereas, under a bond
system tho payment of tho debt is
spread over a great number of years
and the payments aro mado castor,
and the system Is governed by a board
of directors chosen by tho land own
ers thomfcelves, to not only rogulato
ho ubo of tho water, but to handlo tho
entire project.
For Creation of District
Under tho bond system fifty or
mora land owners within tho proposed
district may petition tho county court
for tho creation of such a district, de
fining the boundaries thereof. This
petition and notices nro duly pub
lished and at tho appointed tlmo a
hearing is had before the county
court. At this timo any lands that
aro not subject to Irrigation from tho
system aro excluded by the county
court. Others whoso lands aro adja
cent, but not included within the
boundaries as defined, may havo
thorn brought within tho proposed
district. An election Is then held, and
tho land owners wuiiln tho district
vote upon tho question as to whether
thoy will create such a district or not,
If they decldo to do so thoy will, at
that sumo election, elect their direc
tors, who correspond very much to
ffiDFOKD MATT, Tlttr.VNrc.
the directors of any other corpora
tion. t'ndcr County (.'out ml
They are organized under the con
trol and direction of tho county court.
They select u competent engineer,
the source of tho supply of tho water
Is then found and estimates arc made
as to. the cost ot the water rights. In
stallation, etc. llofnru any consider
able expenditures nro made, outside
of tho expense of organisation, and
for the engineering work, tho matter
Is again submitted to the voters of
tho district, under nn election called
for that purpose, who vote upon the
question us to whether they shall is
sue bonds or not.
Ordinarily, If miuo company or
corporation has such water rights to
sell, and desires to sell them to the
district, the company takes the bonds
at par for tho Installation ot the com
plete water system upon nn agreed
price, so that the trouble of finding
a market for the bonds Is shifted to
the construction company.
Try District FlrM
If It Is thought advisable to provldo
Irrigation for n portion or all of the
valley It would seem best to try the
district system first and create such
a district, mid then make the ncecv
sary Investigation, before submitting
tho question of bonds to the district.
It Is too early to select any particular
Irrigation system ou any definite
terms, lleforc bonds aro issued the
district will want to know, from a
man competent to Judge, that the
water supply Is ample; that It Is not
only ample but that the system when
Installed will be permanent and per
petual. Ueforo any such system Is
selected, or anything else is done in
a largo way towards procuring an Ir
rigation 'system, It would bo better,
therefore, to create such n district,
and to elect its board of directors, and
to put upon tho board men comjx
tent to handlo tho matter. When
this has been done the various sys
tems proposed could bo considered.
Can Voto District llomls
If it should bo determined that a
system of works is proposed which
seems to assure an ample water sup
ply, with permanent works, at o rea
sonable cost, the district can then
vote the bonds to put In a completed
plant, and these bonds ran be used
as money In payment therefor.
Should such a system not be found,
or should there be any question ns to
tho water supply, or the permanency,
oi mo won;s tuai arc to oc installed,
or It it should be impossible to pro
cure these nt a figure which the land
owners would consider reasonable,
and fair, the district can then be dis
organized and the amounts of money
expended on the Investigation would
bo small and would be money well
spent ns having settled and
mined tho question.
If the district plan should be
adopted and a deslrnblo system of-
fercd to the district, the construction
ot the plant could begin at an early
dnto and the water put .upon tho land
much earlier than could bo nccom-
pllshed by tho contract system, or by
any other method
