Washington, Oct. 6.-The seizure of
the German base on the Marshall ISL
ands by the Japanese has caused con-
siderable anxiety among governemnt
officials today. During the week that
elapsed between the sending of the
japanese ultimatum to the Germans
and actual declaration of war, Japan
promised the United States to confine
her operations to the China sea. Yes
terday Japan seized the German base
in the Marshall islands, thus violating
her previous promises to this govern
ment.
Should Japan insist on holding the
islands after the war is over, the en-
suing complications would be very en-
barrassing to the United States, which
would oppose any plan giving Japan
coaling station on the Pacific mid
way between Yokohama and Hawaii.

London, Oct. 6.-The Battle of the
Aisne is draw. This is frankly adj
mitted by the war office today. The
battle has ended in a deadlock in
which neither side has gained any ma
terial advantage. Out of the battle,
however, has developed the Campaign
of Seven Rivers" that bids fair to
rival that of the Duke of Wellington
in 1910 and that of General Grant in
1864.
The great German army in France
cannot be crushed. Even the most
optimistic military men in London are
now convinced the Kaiser's war ma
chine cannot even be routed. On ac-
count of it's immense strength, the
campaign of the allies must resolve
itself into steady exertion of pres
sure against all sides of the German
army.
1t is the current opinion that the
French and British must keep swing
ing against the Germans with never
ending beats to force them from the
strong positions they now hold tc
their next line of works on Belgian
soil, and eventually to the Rhine,
where the real decisive conflict of the
war will be fought to finish.

Mexico City, Oct. 6.-"Peace for
Mexico" is the slogan of half hun
dred constitutionalists, practically all
generals, who left today for Aguas
Calientes to take part in the national
peace convention.
They follow the vanguard, who left
yesterday to arrange the preliminary
details of the conference, in which
efforts will be made to settle the
differences between Carranza and
Villa,
There are indications that the dele
gates will not be able to agree AS
the Constitutionalists' army has been
put ulder the executive power, which
is now controlled by Carranza, it is
doubtful if Villas demand for the
disbanding of the army will be ac-
cepted.
The Constitutionalists expressed be-
lief that Villa would make conces-
sions.
The Federal army is being further
strengthened. Jesus Carranza has re-
turned from the Isthmus of Tehaun-
tepec, bringing 100000 rounds Of
ammunition, forty cannon and 10000
arms, the cargo of the Ypiranga,
which was landed at Puerta Mexico
for Huerta.
Naco, Oct. 6.-HilPs Carranzaistas

the free correspondence course in ag-
ricuiture first offered by the Univer-
sity of California just a year ago.

Never before has such astonishing
enrolment been recorded for mail
study of farming. Most of the stu
dents in The sixteen different courses
are ir California, but there are cor
respordence students also in 3S other
States and nine foreign countries.
Arizona has the most-twenty-nine.
Already 1905 have completed one

nursery propagation, disease-preven-
tion OR treatment, methods Of culture
and irrigation, how to pick, pack, and
sell p: oduct-everything in fact, from

eaten. The pear course was prepared
by Ralph E. Smith, professor of plant
pathology, a specialist on pears, and
the almond course by r. H. Taylor,
the pomologist of the University
Farm.

1900 Persons Spellbound
Hear the Great Orator

Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson,
famous for his work in the navy and
in Congress, who is now engaged in
sinking a new Merrimac in the en-
trance to the harbor of booze, did an
amazing thing last night, when he
held 1000 persons, standing out of
doors for two hours, with such in
tense interest that the audience had
not shrunk 10 per cent at the close
of the speaking.
Packed like sardines in Fifth street,
between Main and State, tired out
completely by the discomfort of their
positions, the audience remained to
hear the last word spoken, and then
by the hundreds they came forward
and shook hands with the famous
speaker.
He was preceded by DR.. Guy W.
Wadsworth, late president of Occiden-
tai College and now general superin-
tendeht of the State Dry Federation,
who told of the work in hand and
made an appeal for help in the CAM
Iaign, financial and otherwise.
District Attorney Phil d. Swing
made an able brief speech in intro
ducing Captain Hobson, and an or
chestra and the singing of "Amer-
icao helned to enliven the occasion.
In plain, unpretentious words the
naval hero recited facts touching OH

race, dwelling on it's effects upon the

Antwerp Wants Aid.

Antwerp, Oct. 6.-"The lombard
ment of Antwerp's outer Notifications
is continued, but the Germans have
gained a foothold nowhere"
This is the gist of an official state
ment from the Belgian war office this
afternoon. 1t added that every fort
is holding out and that the garrison,
in series of sorties, has inflicted
heavy losses.
Notwithstanding this optimistic
statement and the denial of the Ger
man claim that three forts have fall
len, it is informally admitted that
the pressure against the forts is
strong and the allies general staffs
are urged to attempt to raise the
siege.

dispatch from Amsterdam says COM
munication with Antwerp has been
cut off and it is reported that another
fortress has been captured by tho
Germans.

Battle of the Aisne Declared
By Experts To Be a Draw

of Lille, which is only ten miles from
the Belgian border.
"The appearance Of big cavalry
forces there indicates that the Ger
mans, too, are, engaged in counter
thanking movement, by which they
hope to turn the allies back.
The official statement says the Ger
man cavalry are preceding forces that
are making movement through that
region at the north of the Turcoing-
Armenterres line.
The British and French in co-opera-
tion have made slight progress on the
right bank of the Aisne, north Of
scissors. 1t is at this point that the
allies are trying to drive a wedge be-
tween the German right flank and
center.
There is no indication in today's
statement that the allies are getting
any nearer the Germans lines of COM
munication. 1t is apparent, rather.
that the zone of action is being
pressed farther west. and for the time
teing at least the Germans have
averted the danger of being cut off
from supplies.
The official statement says, fur
ther:
"Around Arras and on the right
bank of the Somme the situation is
unchanged. Between the Somme and
Disc there have been alternate ad-
vances and recoils.
"In the Belgian theatre of war the
Belgian forces defending Antwerp
have occupied in strength from Rupel
to Nethe, against which the German
attacks have failed"

Washington, Oct. 6.-There was no
senate session today. The Democrats
met in a war tax caucus this after
noon.
The Democratic members of the
Senate finance committee met prior
to the caucus. An amendment to the
war tax bill was adopted fixing a tax
of cents on each dollars worth of
gum. 1t also was decided to tax pat
ent medicines for which private for
mula exists. Perfumes, cosmetics,
hair dye, oils and dentrifices will be
taxed, as in the Spanish war. Spark
ling wines not otherwise taxed in the
bill will be taxed 1 cent on pint bot-
ties and cents on larger.

Germany Pleased.
(By Frederick Werner)


Berlin, Oct. 6 (By wireless to Say
vile, N. Y.)-An official statement
today says:
"The situation of the German and
Austrian armies everywhere is most
hopeful"
Great surprise is expressed at the
activity of German cruisers abroad.
1t was generally expected they would
fall victims to the British warships
within fortnight. The Germans
learn by reports in the British and
French press of the damage they are
doing to the enemy's marine. The
Goeben, Breslau, Emden, Karlsruhe
and Leipzig are the vessels whose sue
cesses have caused the liveliest salts
faction in Germany. Also the Scharn-
horst and Gneisenau in the Pacific,
reported near Tahiti, as having de-
stroyed the French gunboat Zelee.
General Won Hoehen gives the de-
tails Of the capture of Fort Camp De
Romans on. the Meuse. He says the
fort was taken after hard fighting.
Five French officers and more than
500 men are prisoners, the remainder
having perished in the ruins of the
fort.
The official report asserts that the
Russians have been completely de-
feated near Suwalki and Augustowo,
October and 2, the Germans taking
5000 prisoners, 18 cannon and many
machine guns.
An official news agency Berlin dis
Patch says attempts Of the Triple
Entente to open the Dardanelles have
failed and the Russian ambassador at
Constantinople is furious because of
the embargo on Russian grain exports
and the importation of arms.
The Turkish navy has been in

He called attention to the fact that
animals are never born degenerate or
demented, but come true to the type
and live to their normal years, and
only intemperance bars the human
race from the same experience.
At times he referred to his expert
ence in the navy, thrilling enough, and
stated that he was most apprehen-
sive over the unprotected state of this
nation, but he declared that he had
rather see the United States con-
fronted with threatened invasion by
every civilized nation than to have
the country remain in the condition
Of debauchery.
He told of the acts of Russia, Eng
land, France and Germany at the
outbreak of the present war in in
stantly suppressing booze, and said
if those countries continue at war un-
der prohibition while this country re-
mains at peace with rampant drunk
enness, those nations will outlive this,
for the war is costing but thousand
lives a day in Europe, while booze
in America alone is costing two thou
sand lives every day.
He appealed for state prohibition
for national prohibition, and then for
prohibition in the constitution of the
world.

Berlin, Oct. 6 (By wireless to Say

from every line in the official war
report tonight. Attention is called
to the persistent activity of German
cruisers in foreign waters and the
general German naval success. Stress
is laid on the failure of the allies to
foresee that Turkey would reopen the
Dardanelles. 1t expresses belief that
the Turkish navy soon will attack Rus
