Prompts City to Continue
Relief Measures

So great is the unrest among the

Their food or work that the city Off
Gals have decided to continue relief
giving for several days.
An auxiliary soup kitchen will
probably be established in the neigh
borhood of the old Sailors home to
take care of the overflow from that
institution. George Buck. chairman
of the unemployed committee, said this
morning that he had feared to an
nounce to the men that the city would
no longed feed them, and was re-
lieved to hear that aid would be con-
tinued. He is arranging to rent a
large vacant storeroom in Third street
near Folsom, where idle men can hold
their meetings in future. Both food
and work will be given them for sew
eral days. but the officials are not
anxious that the news of this should
go to other parts of the state, as
large numbers are already fiocking
here. attracted by the reports of free
food
AS arranged last week. $50 men
were put to work at the relief home
cutting trees and brush today, and an
equal number will be assigned to the
same work tomorrow, the last day.
The men are being paid 81 for six
hours work. Those who worked on
the streets and in the ruins of the
old city hall received $3.50 for four
hours work. 1t was said to the SUI
pervisors that this pay. at the rate
of So a day, had tendency to bring
in men who receive $3.50 and $3.50
day on the Santa Fe and the United
Railroads tracks. although others con-
tended that the laborers would not
leave steady employment for tempo
rary city jobs.

CANAL FORTS ARE
PROTESTEDBY
ENGLAND
Great Britain German-J apa-
nese Alliance Becomes Bold
in Threatened Boycott

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3o.-Embold-
ened by its sinister commercial ALI
ance with Germany. Great Britain has
within the last few days intimated to
the United States that it does not
understand that the Pauncefote
treaty permits this government to
fortify the Panama canal.
This extraordinary movement,
coming after the fortifications have
been nearly completed, and after the
question had apparently forever been
settled, has startled the state depart
ment into realization of the full
significance of the English German
Japanese combination against the
United States.
Although the utmost secrecy is
Icing made of the matter in the state
department, it can be authoritatively
eminent with Great Britain are at
present more strained than at any
time since Cleveland's ultimatum on
Venezuela
BLAME FRIENDSHIP POLICY
In some quarters the aggressive at
titude of three great world powers
against the United States is attributed
to the friendship and fellowship
policy OF Secretary Bryan, which is
construed as an invitation to grasping
nations to impose on the good nature
of Uncle Sam The broader view
is that England and Germany, made
desperate by their tremendous bur-
dens and by the extending dominance
of the United States in their fields of
commerce, have been forced into an
offensive and defensive alliance
against this country.
The influence of England with its
ally, Japan, has been sufficient to
bring Japan into the combination.
More light on the throttling OF the
proposed National City bank branch
at Buenos Aires was found today.
Through England, notice was served
on the promoters of the plan that IL
IL were carried out. American securi-
ties held in Germany and England
would be dumped on the market; that
American bonds and stocks would be
tabooed in London and Berlin, and
that a widespread financial boycott
on United States securities would be
Instituted. The threats succeeded in
discouraging the American financiers.
and Morgan Schuster. who went to
Buenos Aires to organize the branch,
returned home.
OPPOSE MEXICAN POLICY
AS .oil is the life of the navy,
according to Winston Churchill. the
oil situation IN Mexico has added to
Engiand's aggressiveness. 1t is an
open secret that from the beginning
of trouble in Mexico. England has
followed a policy Numerically oppo-
site that of the United States.
The whole situation is developing
into a titanc struggle for commerce,
which means power. The value of
British consols has deprecated, and
England is nearly a bankrupt nation.
1t has an army of unemployed. and
has been forced to disburse money in
old age pensions and workfngmen's
compensations, and at the same time
try to build two battleships to any
other nations one.
