France it was arrogant and belligerent.
After Herr Won Radowitz, initiating
Chancellor Won BuIow, had for weeks
treated M. Revolt, the French dele
gate at Algeciras, in most provoca-
tive manner at all their meetings, the
French delegate finally turned upon
him and said.
Every we'll. If nothing but war will
satisfy Germany France will not shirk
her national duty. We will fight to
turn you back If we must, just as
Japan fought. Our case is like Japan's
yours like Russias.
At the same moment the full re-
sources of the great peace movement
which King Edward SO assiduously
had been organizing in Europe for the
last three years were turned upon
Germany. This is what happened:
Great Britain said TO her: "You are
seeking an end which we cannot con-
template, of driving a powerful wedge
into the Mediterranean status quo.
Our forces will support France
Russia said to Germany: In the
event that you attack France we, dis
charging our inviolable obligations,
will move against you"
Allies Turn Again Him
Then came an embassy to the kaiser
representing jointly Austria-Hungary
and Italy, as Germany's allies. They
protested against Germany's belliger-
ent attitude and added, first, that
Spain and Portugal only awaited a
call from France and Great Britain
to join their strength to that of those
powers, and, second, that the temper
of the European world was such that
in the event of war where Germany
appeared to be carrying everything be-
fore her the minor nations of western
Europe undoubtedly would engage
themselves against Germany on the
theory that the kaiser, unless beaten,
would develop into a Napoleonic
danger.
Then Italy said for herself: 'The
keystone of the italian national arch
is her Mediterranean position, and
this is inextricably bound up with the
positions of France and Great Britain.
Hence Italy wants no such war asthe

MOSQUITOES BITE
AND SUN BURNS.
Oaklanders' Clothes Are
Stolen as They Swim
In Yosemite Valley

OAKLAND, July 24.-The relentless
summer sun beat down upon the naked
bustering backs of A. ]. Snyder, cap
italist of this city, and Hugh Russell
ali insurance man, from early morn un-
til it settled down behind a protecting
mountain peak. Thousands of starving
mosquitoes lowered about, making
charges in droves upon their helpless
victims. The two men padded around
miserably in the chilling waters Of a
Yosemite stream, waiting for darkness
A thief had stolen their clothes ere
they had been In the water four min
utes, and they dared not return to the
hotel in their Adamesque costume.
Evening came on and more moSqui-
toes Then darkness.
A lone owl from his high perch on a
pine tree say two shadowy figures
stealing warily through the woods in
the direction of the hotel
Who? Who?" it cried.
The two figures plunged into a pro-
tecting bush, shivering in fright. A
hurried conversation followed, another
confidence restored, the two figures
cIept along toward the hotel.
They reached the back entrance in
safety and sought the shelter of their
rooms.
The next morning these two Oakland
business men summoned a bellboy, bor-
rowed raiment from friends at the ho-
tel and wired to Oakland for more
clothes.
Now they are searching for a trace
OF the thief Woe to him il he is caught,
for the wrath of Snyder and Russell is
mighty.
Clothes thieves have been prevalent
in the Yosemite Valley all summer.
Snyder and Russell's experience is one
of many. They stole out early in the
morning to take a plunge and. like two
schoolboys, left their clothes in heap
OIL the bank. They padded about for
fifteen minutes and then found their
clothes were missing. The thief had
not even left one protecting garment.
There was no chance of returning to
the hotel before night. No one an
swered their calls. They dared not sit
upon the bank because of the danger
Of passing strollers. So they kept in
the water and fought mosquitoes and
felt their backs blister.
Oakland friends have sent them a
fresh supply of clothing. They will re-
turn home in q few days.

ARE CENSURED.

Scores Men Who Serv-

REPORT is FILED

OAKLAND, July 24.-Charles Hus-
band. who was chief deputy and
Charles Hart, who was second deputy,
under the late County Treasurer A. w.
Fielder, are severely criticised in the
report of the Grand Jury made today
10 Superior Judge T. w. Harris. Hus-
band is accused Of having had a knowl-
edge Of the defalcations committed by
Fielder and is blamed for not having
made known the existence of short
ages in the accounts OF the office. Hart
is censured for aiding in suppressing
the facts or for objectionable ignor-
ance Of the conduct Of the Office" about
which the inquisitorial body believed
he should have had SUFFICIENT knowl-
edge TO discern that all was not as ii
should have been.
Slot machines and their operation
also came in for investigation by the
Grand Jury. II was found that the
devices had been maintained in def
ance OF a State law. and ii was upon
instructions from the Grand Jury that
Chief Of Police Wilson ordered that the
operating Of the gambling contrivances
in this city cease. The Grand Jury re-
ports that IL found that the various
county Offices are being conducted in
satisfactory manner; that the present
quarters Of the Receiving Hospital are
entirely inadequate TO the needs Of the
city. and that the Board of Supervisors
were justified in ordering the con-
struction OF q building for the
County Jail
The Grand Jury recommends that a
statute be enacted TO protect persons
against unreliable searchers Of records
who may falsify and report incorrectly
upon titles to property.
The Grand Jury holds that at pres
ent there is no State law affording
ample protection against dishonest
searchers of titles.
Another recommendation made by
the Grand Jury is that the Board of
Supervisors permit no just bills against
the county 10 stand for more than
thirty days without some action. The
board recently paid claims that were

STANFORD DORMTTORIES
ARE FILLING STEADILY
University Students Write for
Reservations IN Encina
Hall and Robe.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, July IL
Stanford students have not been in
undated by their experiences in the
dormitories. Already rooms in Encina
Hall and ROble are in demand. Six
score of students have secured accom-
modations in the mems dormitory. This
leaves ninety seven vacancies. OF the
vacant rooms thirty-twO will not be in
commission for several months but will
be boarded up until the stone masOns
can repair the walls. These rooms are
located at the extremities of each OF
the wings and received a more
thorough shake-up than did other parts
of the structure. In Encina Hall the
masonry crushed through all four
floors, carrying students and their be-
longings down to the basement in
pile of debris. In the girls abode the
damage was much less. When the cleo
tricians have thoroughly wired the
dormitOries they will again be ready
for habitation, as the painters, car
penters and plasterers are about ready
to knock of work.
