BRINK OF CONFLICT

EVERY NATION WITH EX-
CEPTION OF SPAIN.

ing German Ships and
Rest of Balkans Will
Follow.

London, Aug. 14-Indications now
point Enthusiastically to the spread of
the war to every European nation
with the exception of Spain. France
today published its declaration of hos
tiIities against Austria-Hungary, fol
lowing England's similar action yes
terday. Italy, it is asserted, is also
on the verge of breaking with Franz
Josef.
Others Will Enter War.
Washington, Aug 13.-All Europe,
with the single exception of Spain,
will become involved in the war now
in progress between Great Britain,
Russia and France on the one hand
and Germany and Austria on the
other.
Information received here convinces
the diplomats advised by their gov
ernments that it is only question of
a short time until Italy and Roumania
will enter the conflict. Turkey has
given Russia and her allies cause for
complaint by permitting the German
cruisers Goebel and Breslau to enter
the Dardanelles, when only few days
ago she announced that this passage
was closed to beIligerent warships.
If Turkey should take part in the
war. Greece will act. Bulgaria,
which is bitterly hostile to Servia,
Roumania and Greece, undoubtedly
will be forced to throw in her fortunes
with them and Russia, Great Britain
and France.
The only two countries which
would be free from the strife are
Switzerland and Spain, and in the
case of the former there is imminent
danger that she will have to fight in
order to preserve her neutrality, just
as Belgium is doing.
May Involve Switzerland
Paris, Aug. 15.-The French govern
ment on Friday made the direct
charge that Germany is violating the
neutrality of Switzerland. 1t claims,
in an official statement that numerous
German mounted patrols routed by
French cavalry columns, have crossed
the border into Switzerland to escape
capture The French commanding of
ficers have strict orders not to pur-
sue their advantage across the Swiss
frontier. 1t is announced that the
French government will direct the at
tention of the Swiss government to
this violation Of its territory

In the July Woman's Home Com.
panion Mary Hastings Bradley takes
exception to the idea held by some that
food should be prepared in well-reg-
ulatei factories in order to save time
and trouble in homes. She says that
furniture-making and clothes-making
belong to the factory but that the
preparation of food will always belong
to the home. She goes on:
"The highest type of ood-efficiency
will be that which provides the highest
! type of food with as little trouble as
possible, not that which provides not
so-good food with the very least trou-
bic. And you cannot have the highest
| type of food, by which / mean of
course the most nomishing, the most
wholesome, the most appetizing, with
cut a great deal of home preparation
"This, know, is just what the new
efficiency writers contradict so un-
blushingly. The article from which 7
am quoting, because it proclaims just
those theories of food production which
are being lauded as modern and EFF
ficient,' offers in proof of its meth
DDS q very notwithstanding meal:
soup from can, asparagus from
another can, potato chips from box,
chicken roasted in the rotisserie over
the way, meringue glace from the con
fectioner's, and salad.
"Now l have no objection to that
dinner. My objection, and l feel be-
hind me the undying support of thou
sands and tens of thousands of dinner
eating American men, is with life
time of such dinners, an unending
replica of them, a thin, potato-chipped
vista of relocated food and bakery
meringue. I object to having that held
up before me in the sacred name of
efficiency. One such meal is a relax
alton and has its place in the scheme of
things, but the daily perpetration Of
them would be an outrage.
"Tink of Southern fried chicken and

agus and baked tomatoes and broiled

been advocating and enacting into leg
islation for the last four, years.
One after another they ignore his
challenge to declare themselves against
the Workmen's Compensation Act.
( Not one of them has ventured to ex-
press opposition to the State Railroad
I Commission.
With one exception, no one of the
flock mas had a word of criticism to
utter against the Blue Sky Law.
The man has yet to appear who
will dare to attack the creation of the
non-Salaried immigration Commission
which is preparing to cope with the
influx expected to follow the opening
of the Panama Canal.
Not a single specific issue is raised
against the Governor. Instead, mean
ingless generalities are indulged in in
the war that is being waged upon
him.
The conference at Santa Barbara
and the Democrats assembled at San
Jose 10th approved of the legislative
achievements of Governor Johnson.
The cnly objection was that the Re-
publicans and Democrats wanted cred
it for their respective selves for sup
porting the laws.
1t as Johnson who ended the poll
tical spoils system in California
through a sweeping Civil Service law.
1t was Johnson who compelled the
railroads and other great corporations
to pay, for the first time in the his
tory of the State, their fair share Of
taxes. 1t was Johnson who shut the
door at Sacramento against special

lished the principle that the States
business can be run as economically
and efficiently as is any private busi-
ness. 1t was Johnson who put stop

brought about prison reforms which
have been so successful that California
is in the front rank in pathological
advancement. 1t was johnson who

w. S. Kingsbury, Surveyor General
Of California, has announced his cam

Kingsbury has rendered splendid
service during his two terms. The land
thieves had controlled the office for
many years, and Kingsbury had
series of brisk encounters to drive
them out.
The Surveyor General is an earnest,
clean and efficient public servant. His
candidacy is absolutely case of the
office seeking the man.

these expressions of appreciation and
the desire to justify the faith of my

decision to be candidate.
