How Many Autos Left
No One Here Knows

feadlands overlooking the "Harbor of
the Sun" will announce to the thou
sands of visitors assembled from all
PARTS of the United States, together
with representatives of foreign coun-
tries, that the Panama California eX-
position is open to the world.
Attending the opening exercises will
be Secretary of the Treasury William
G.. McAdoo, the son-in-laW of Presi-
cent Wilson and his personal repre-
sentative at the celebration. Governor
Hiram Johnson will be present to rep
resent California, and officials from
a number of Western states will also
attend. Included among them will
be Governor Spry of Utah, who comes
on a special train from Salt Lake
with official delegations from Utah
and Idaho; Governor West of Ore
gon, accompanied by the Oregon Gro
sarians," who will remain in the city
for Oregon day, January 2.
Especial preparations have been
made in order that all who come may
be well cared for during their visit.
How many thousands will be present
to attend the opening ceremonies Of
the exposition cannot be estimated
with any accuracy Railroads in all
parts of the country have worked en-
Enthusiastically to bring people here for
the formal opening, and many special
trains for various delegations have
been planned. Twenty thousand are
expected from Los Angeles; Imperial
Valley made early arrangements for
many of her citizens to attend, and
information regarding delegations
from almost every state in the Union
has been received daily by the expo
sition management.
Although the formal opening takes

place at midnight, the exposition
grounds will be open to visitors dur:
ing the entire evening.
Unique among eXpositions, the San
Diego display will be entirely complete
when the gates are thrown open New
Years eve. A month before the for
nal opening date, Director of Works
Frank P. Allen, Jr, turned the COM
pleted exposition buildings over to the
LOard of Understanding un-
precedented in the history of eXposi-
tions. With a months time in which
to complete the installation of exhib-
its, the management was assured that
everything would be in readiness for
the celebration.
The exposition opens entirely free
from debt. When San Diego under
took the work of building the fair for
the Pacific coast and Southwest it
was decided that every charge should
he paid Immediately after the expense
had been incurred. This policy was
followed from the time that ground
vas first broken.
The ceremonies attending the for
al opening will be in charge of Col
cnel D. C. Collier, founder of the ex
position.
One of the most noticeable build
ings on Ell Prado, the main street of
the exposition, is the California state
building, which houses the rarest col
lection Of ancient Indian relics ever
gathered Further along the Prado
stand other buildings completed, and
with almost their full quota of exhib-
its installed. On both sides of every
street and surrounding the plazas are
rows of black acacia trees, beyond
which rise rich hedges of poinsettia or
the Spanish Christmas flower. Up the

London, Dec. 30.-While the note
sent by the United States to Great
Britain insisting on early improve
ment in the treatment accorded to
American shipping by the British
fleet has not reached the British for
cign office, British officials have read
the contents as cabled in press dis
patches from Washington and mani
tested deep interest in the culmina-
tion of this serious controversy. Sir
Edward Grey will return from his
Christmas holiday in the country to-
day, when it is expected he will for
mally receive the American note from
Ambassador Page. Officials of the
foreign department of course author
lied no statement, but the feeling pre-
vailed that an arrangement for more

States does not protest against either

How many automobiles left the val
ley for San Diego this morning no
one knows, for the reason that few
paid any attention to the rule re
quiring them to assemble in this city
at $3.50 to have their picture taken for
Pathe's Weekly, but began leaving as
early as 6 o'clock, and for four hours
were leaving individually for the trip
across the desert
Whether there were so or 200 ma
chimes no one knows, but the number
is somewhere between those far separ-
ated figures.
The fact that the road is reported
in even worse shape than usual had
good deal to do with this desire to
avoid being strung out in long pro-
cession, taking chances on being held
up by machines ahead.
A motion picture was taken of
number of autos this morning in the
city, but whether a respectable show
ing can be made on the Mountain
Springs grade, where the principal
picture was to be taken, is not known.
Neither can it be said whether the
machines will halt by the way and
enter San Diego in form, escorted by
the officials of that city and of the
exposition.

German Air Raid.

Berlin, Dec. 30.-Five German air
men have made raid on Sochaczew,
dropping forty bombs, with much dam
age to property, and killing many. A
part of the city was destroyed when
bombs fired the houses. Sochaczew is
32 miles west of Warsaw. 1t is of

that the Russians are advancing south

order, and now, on the eve of the
opening, the San Diego exposition
stands complete, thus setting a new
example for worlds fairs to come.
Among the exhibits added during
the last month is one of Mexican han
dicraft, which has been placed in the
Foreign and Domestic Arts building.
In accordance with the San Diego
eXpositions doctrine of showing pro-
cesses as well as products, native
MeXicans are at work in the exhibit
making the different articles which
are on display. There are rugs, pot
terry, drawn work, filigree, horsehair
iariats and harness, and many other
products of Mexican handiwork. These
are being made from designs hundreds
and even thousands of years old, some
lar antedating the coming of the ear
liest Spanish explorers.
Four companies of United States
marines, together with the regimental
Marine band, are now camped on the
exposition grounds, where they will
remain during the entire year 1915.
At Fort Rosecrans, a short distance
from the grounds, is the Thirteenth
Regiment Coast Artillery Band, which
also will play on the exposition
grounds during 1915. The official
hands costumes are Spanish.
Up the walls and over the cornices
of the great Spanish Colonial exposi-
tiOn buildings Chamber beautiful vines,
while flowers, shrubbery and trees
grow in profusion throughout the
grounds. While the North and East

walls of the buildings Chamber vines
of bougainvilleas, while in the laguna
and lagunita before the Botanical
buildings are hundreds of lilies.
California's own counties are pre-
Senting some of the most attractive
exhibits. Notable among these are
the remarkable decorations of grain in
the San Joaquin Valley building; a va
ried array Of products in the South
ern Counties buildings shows what can
be grown in the country south of the
Tehachapi, the dividing line of South
ern and Northern California, and, in
accordance with the back to the land
doctrine, which is one of the central
ideas of the exposition, there is on
the grounds o model farm of five
acres. The model farm, which is al
ready dotted with fruit trees and vege
tables, will be in operation during
1915, and will show, as could be shown
in no other way, the possibilities of
the Great Southwest.
One of the most interesting of the
agricultural displays and one which is
of great Importance to Southern Cali
fornia, is the tea garden of Sir Thorn
as Upton, where tea trees, imported
from Ceylon, are in full growth.
Along the "Isthmus" the work OF
installing the last few concessions still
goes on. The greatest of all these
concessions is the Painted Desert eX
hibit installed by the Santa Fe rail
road, where full grown Pueblo In
dian village is installed, and at an
other point town of cliff dwellers.
Elaborate Plans.
San Diego, Dec. 30.-With the for
NAL opening on New Years eve only
q few hours in the future, exhibitors
at the Panama California exposition
here are busy putting the finishing
touches to their displays in the ex-
POSITIONS buildings, which were com
pleted month ago. Although many
of the exhibitors have everything in
place and are waiting for the open
ing, the great majority find some
thing to be changed at the last min
ute, and the Encouragement of dis
plays is going on in every building
throughout the grounds.
During the last three weeks dis
plays have been pouring into San
Diego in steady stream; and yet, out
of the apparent chaos, there has come

Russians Overcome
German Movement

In the Carpathians the Austrians
are falling back, leaving many strag
glers and many guns.
Along the Bzura and Rawa rivers
the Germans are fighting desperately
against superior numbers and fresh
masses of Russians. A terrific ar
tillery duel was fought along the
Rawaka Monday and Tuesday, but the
Germans were finally compelled to re-
tire, after several batteries had been
silenced. The Germans are further
from Warsaw than they were last
week.
The German lines are now extended

Sunday the Russian cruiser Askold
bombarded the Turkish port of Elari-
sab. The cruiser was fired upon near
Beirut and retired. The Turks have
withdrawn a large portion of their
troops from the Thracian frontier to
send them into Asia Minor, and also
are strengthening the Dardanelles

French Statement.

Paris, Dec 3o.-An official state
ment issued by the war office today
reads as follows:
"In Belgium we have gained ground
in the region of Nieuport and to the
north of Lombardtzyde. The enemy
has violently bombarded st. Georges,
which we are placing in a state of
defense. We have captured point of
the German support southeast of
Zonnebeke on the road from Beck
laere to Pashchendaele, northeast of
Ypres.
"From the Lys to the Disc there is
nothing to report. In the valley of
the Aisne and in the Champagne the
enemy has manifested recrudescence
of activity, demonstrated everywhere
by violent bombardment, to which
our heavy artillery has effectively re-
sponded.
"In the Argonne there was slight
progress in the region of Fourt De
Paris, between the Argonne and the
Moselle, with artillery engagement
along the whole front, particularly in
tense on the Heights of the Meuse.
"In the Vosges the enemy has made
sharp attack on Latete De Daux.
which has been repulsed.
"ln Upper Alsace we have strength
ened our positions and heavy artillery
has silenced the German howitzers

BRITAIN DISPOSED
TO SETTLE PROBLEM

Washington, Dec. 30.-The protest
by the United States to the British
government against interference with
American shipping continued the alb
sorbing topic in diplomatic circles to-
day.
Representatives of neutral countries
made further inquiries at the state
department relative to the situation,
which strengthened the belief that
these nations will follow the lead of
the United States in the struggle
against British interference.
The state department believes sat
isfactory solution of the matter will
be reached eventually, though some
difficulty will probably be encountered
by the United States in <explaining
specific cases of supposed smuggling
and also cases where shipments were
made under incorrect manifest,
False manifests, among other things,
are said to have involved shipments
of both copper and rubber.
Emphatic approval on the Demo-
cratic side of the Senate of the pres
ident's note was heard today.

their interference. 1t is the same old
question that involved us in war with
Great Britain in 1912. They have al
ways maintained they had the right
of search at sea. It is time for the
United States to stand her ground"
London, Dec. 30-Sir Edward Grey
has returned suddenly from his vaca
tion as a result of the American pro-
test and cabinet meeting has been
called for this afternoon. The foreign
secretary conferred with the premier
over the American note and the Amer
lean ambassador will be invited to a
conference after the cabinet meeting.
Officials of the British foreign of
flee were closely studying the Ameri-
can note. A reply will be made as
soon as possible. Members of the Dip
lomatic corps scout the idea expressed
in some quarters that the matter may
lead to friction with the United States.
The foreign office accepted the pro-
test as friendy action, intended to
clear up a situation that might have
become serious had it been allowed
to continue without clear understand
ing.
