New Big Battle.

Vienna (via Berlin wireless to Lon
oon), Dec. lathe following official
statement was issued by the general
staff today:
Notwithstanding the difficulties in
cident of winter conditions in the
mountainous country, the Austrians
are irresistibly continuing their ad-
vance in the Carpathians. More than
1000 Russian prisoners weres taken
yesterday and the passes to the west
of Lupkow pass are again in our pos
session.
"A great battle has commenced
south of the Gorlice Brydow Neu
sando line, east from Tymbork, to the
east of Cracow. The Russian attacks
broke before our artillery fire.
"In the last sortie of the Przemysl
garrison we captured 1,100 Russians
with 18 quick firing guns and much
ammunition"

To Fly on Coast.

San Diego, Dec. PA fleet of sew
en- military biplanes, manned by four
teen pilots and observers, will leave
the North Island aerodrome next
Wednesday morning for Los Angeles.
On Friday the men will be sent aloft
from the northern city in competi-
tion for the Mackay trophy in what
is expected to be the most thrilling
and spectacular cross-country aero
plane race ever staged in America. 1t
will be the duty of the aviators to
locate three columns of troops, placed
in different positions approximately
Is miles from San Diego, and report
their findings to the judges at North
Island. The winner will be decided
on elapsed time. Captain Arthur S.
Cowan, head of the First aeroplane
corps, left for Los Angeles last night
to select starting point.

Economy Policy.

Washington, Dec. 14-The admin
istration's Economy" policy is main
tanned in the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, reported to
the House today. Although the bill
carries $2,2S6,1OO for the agricultural
census, an item not in last years
measure, the total reported today is
not greatly above that of last session.
Including the allowance for. the cen
sus, the bill carries $3S,744, 733, cut
of approximately 1882, 900 in the es-
Inmates submitted.
The committee also inserted legis-
lative rider providing that hereafter
members of Congress shall receive
only cents mile going and return
ing TO the sessions. The present al
lowance is 20 cents. A big fight was
waged over this.
Burleson informed the committee
that there had been a reorganization
of his department and the bill carries
for the next fiscal year 81 fewer sal
aries. A reduction of SO places is made
in the pension office. The reductions,
however, are more than offset by a
provision for employment of 1000
temporary clerks to aid in tabulating
the agricultural census. 1t is esti
mated the work will take at least a
year.
The estimates called for $4,000 for
driving, maintenance and care of the
vice presidents automobile, but the
item was not allowed. A similar es-
innate for the upkeep of a machine
for the speaker was eliminated.

Day by day for week the Press has been giving evl-
ence that better times at hand and one OF the best
proofs of this is that this morning l6OO men resumed
work in the Southern Pacific shops in Los Angeles after
having been idle since October.
That instance is notable because 1T is close to
home and because Of the large number of men involved
but it is only illustration of the trend of affairs
throughout the country.
Day by day the money placed in circulation through
the regional banks is being dispersed and is opening the
markets for stocks and bonds being loaned to cotton
growers and Others and is relieving the pressure for
dollars
We may not in day realize that here, but careful
student of affairs doubt that by slow stages affairs
improving.
And yet conditions in Imperial Valley as good as
anywhere and getting better locally. The daymen
and livestock men are all taking in good money now or
getting their stock in condition for market and soon
will be taking in money
All things considered are pulling out of the period
of monetary strngency satisfactorily and before this
season is much further advanced the whole community
will have proof of the better times which the Press has
heraded.

San Francisco, Dec. 14-One million
acres of reclaimed and irrigated land
placed at the disposal of the unem-
ployed of the state in permanent farm
sites, work for thousands converting
the great expanse of waste lands into
a garden of California orchards and
ranches-this is the huge project be-
ing considered by the California state
conservation commission in session to-
day. The three members of the COM
mission-George c. Pardee, j. P.
Baumgartner and Francis Cuttle-
lave decided to recommend it to Gov
ernor Johnson. The plan is to place
under cultivation million or more
acres of desert land in the counties
of San Bernardino, Riverside and I'M

Expect Invasion.

Rotterdam, Dec. 14.-A neutral cit
iZen who has just arrived from Berlin
declares that he is convinced-as
every one in Germany is convinced
that an invasion of England is to be
attempted. In his opinion the cruis-
ers which recently appeared off Var
mouth were merely ascertaining
whether such feat was feasible.
To the suggestion that a fleet of
transports would be at the mercy Of
the British battleships and cruisers,
he replied that the German view on the
question of whether it would be pos
sible to devise scheme which would
Feep such vessels out of the way, was
that an escort of submarines would
be wholly competent if aided by the
Zeppelins which lately have been en-
gagged in practice against warships as
q target.
He added that the transports would
not be unloaded in the usual way, but
would be piled up on the coast, and
the men, horses and guns tumbled
overheard.
"That Germany will win," he says,
mo one in Germany doubts. The Ger
mans remark that things will soon be
easier on the eastern frontier, as all
the best Russian troops have now
been killed and wounded or taken pris
oners.
"The Germans have absolutely no
fear of the Russian army" he con
cluded.

Germans Checked.

Paris, Dec. 14.-The Germans were
checked in two violent attacks on the
extreme ends of the battle front yes
terday.
Most pronounced was the onslaught
against the British forces holding the
salient extending eastward from
Ypres. The other was directed
against the railway station of Aspach,
west of Muelhausen, which the French
captured on Friday. The desperate eff
forts of the Germans to retake this
advantageous position, like their at
tempt to break through the British
lines in the north, resulted in failure,
the allies maintaining themselves stur-
oily in their trenches while inflicting
heavy losses upon the attacking forces.
Reports received from the front and
made public in the official statements
issued from the war office during the
day told of notable success of the
French arms over the Kaiser's forces
in the forest of La Petre. The bat
tie has been raging in that section of
eastern France for several days, with
the French steadily advancing in
spite of the determined resistance of
the' Germans.

CHINESE WOUNDED
BY NEGRO BANDITS

Dragging himself to a drawer where
he kept revolver, after he was shot
by two bandits because he refused to
disclose the hiding place of his money,
Lee Kun Sing, Chinese proprietor of
a chop suey and noodle restaurant at
BOT Main street, emptied his own gun
at the two men as they fled out the
door Sing was taken to st. Thomas
hospital, where he was given medical
attention by Drs. Apple and Carter,
who declared today that the man.
while seriously injured, would prob
ably recover. The shooting occurred
Saturday night.
From what the officers have been
able to learn it is believed the two ne
groes entered Sings restaurant with
drawn revolvers and ordered him to
disclose the hiding place of his mon
ey. Whether he refused to comply
with their request or whether he at
tempted to secure weapon of defense,
which brought about the shooting, is
not known. The bullet from .3S
oalibre struck the Chinese in the right
side, penetrating through to the back.
The bullet was removed last night.
Sheriff Meadows and Marshal Nc
Fadden secured the East Side last
night and deputies this morning re-
sumed the search. That the assail-
ants of the Chinese are known is be-
ing rumored here today and arrests in
the case are expected before night.
Sing has been engaged in conduct
ing restaurant here for some time
and ssaid to have amassed a sum
of money which is believed to have
Teen the prize which attracted the at
tention of the holdup men.

Great Reclamation Project
For State to Undertake

acre tract held by the United States
The proposal takes the
form of a permanent relief measure
for the unemployed of California. Rec
lamentations will be made to the leg
islature that the land be obtained from
the federal government under the
Carey act, which provides that any
state may acquire title to government
reservations by bringing the region
under cultivation by the reclaiming of
waste places. The plan will be en-
tirely under state supervision until it
is turned over to the settler. Cover
nor Johnson has expressed himself as
heartily in favor of the proposed un-
6ertaking and it is believed no oppo-
sition will be met in the legislature

COCKTAILS WANTS
ZONE PROTECTED

Washington, Dec. 14.-Secretary
Garrison today received dispatch
from Colonel Goethals in reply to the
message of inquiry sent him concern
ing his request for two destroyers to
prevent violations of neutrality in the
Canal Zone.
Garrison declined to discuss the con-
tents of Goethals' dispatch, saying the
matter at present is confidential"
The secretary said Goethals believes
the misuse of the wireless within the
canal waters and the waters them
selves as base of supply require the
presence of swift moving ships. Prop
en- steps will be taken, the secretary
replied.

In the East.
(By Frederick Rennet)

Nby ffe0eflck Rennet)
Petrograd, Dec. livery heavy
fighting was reported from the battle
front in Poland yesterday. The firing
could be heard for many miles and it
proceeded incessantly.
The Germans are throwing their ut
most endeavors into their aggressive
efforts in the operations in the region
of LowiscZ, where, on front 25 miles
long, extending from Glovno north
ward to Ilovo, on the Vistula, they
keep half million men in the heat
of battle day and night.
They have thrown practically every
man available into the fighting line.
Aerial reconnaissance show that only
slight bodies of reserves are being held
in their rear.
1t is clear that this army is not in
tended for serious renewal of the
attempt on Warsaw, but it's furious
succession of charges up to point
blank range is explained here as in
tended to delay the Russian central
army from advancing westward.
The unremitting buffetings which
General Won Mackensen's columns con-
tinue to accept from the Russian cen
tral army can also be traced to Gen
eral Won Hindenburg's imperative de-
sire for big success in pitched bat
tie before the great army of new con-
scripts joins the Russian field force.
There are perceptible indications
that the German and Austrian cam
paigns are near the parting of the
ways and after Cracow's destiny is
assured the German strength will be
withdrawn upwards to the north and
devoted wholly to the defense of 81
lesia and Posen. The Austrians will
be left to do what they can to OBJ
struct the Russians on the roads
through Moravia and Bohemia.

By repulsing the Calexico invaders

pounded out one more hit and sinned
less in the way of errors, Ell Centre
edged ahead by taking the long end
of a to score.
"Bearcat" Baerwald shone in the
sticking lists for the locals. In the
third inning he showed Bassler and
Muesel across the pan with two bag
ger With MacMullin's score earlier
in the inning, CaleXico's lead was over
taken and the game stood to 4. In
the next chapter CaleXico put another
man across, and Ell Centro, hot on the
trail, again tied the score in the
fifth. In the next Baerwald connected
with one of Roy Hits offerings and
didn't stop until he reached the third
cushion. A moment later Johnny But

British Submarine
Destroys Battleship

London, Dec. 14.-It is officially an
nounced that the Turkish battleship
Messudiyeh has been sunk by the
British submarine Bill in the Dar-
danelles. Practically all of the crew
of 600 were lost. The Messudiyeh,
although built in 1874, was recon
structed at Genoa in 1902, and was
considered the sixth fastest vessel in
the Turkish navy. She had dis
placement of 10000 tons and recently
served as flagship for the Turkish
squadron in the Dardanelles. She car
ried two 9.2-inch guns, twelve 6-inch,
fourteen 12-pounders, ten 6-pounders
and two 3-pounders.
The Bill is attached to the inter
national war fleet which is lombard
ing the Turkish forts at the western
entrance to the Dardanelles and had
forced the passage of that waterway
by diving beneath the mine fields. with
which it is lined, and torpedoed the
Turkish battleship Messudiyeh. The
news of this bold sea raid, the first
submarine attack since the war began,
OF Importance, was announced by the
government press bureau.
The Bill, commanded by Comman-
der Holbrook, was compelled to feel
her way along the strong treacherous
current of the Dardanelles and dive
beneath five rows of mines.
At the point where the raid was
made the Dardanelles is lined with
powerful forts. The Messudiyeh, which
is believed to have had German naval
officers aboard, had been detailed to
guard the mine fields and was lying
in what the Turks thought perfect
security.

Economy a Crime.
(By Archibald Hurd)
Naval Expert of the London Daily
Telegraph)

'
Telegraph)
London, Dec. 12.-Those two cruis-
er actions in South American waters
are a reminder of the terrible pen
atty of weakness in these days of
high powered guns. When the Good
Hope and Monmouth were destroyed
England deplored the loss of "a Off
GERS and 1900 men. The Scharnhorst,
Gneisenau, Leipzig and Nurnberg
took with them about 1000 officers
and men. These two cruiser actions
have consequently resulted in the
loss of about 5000 officers and men
and have involved the destruction of
war material which cost $22,0OO,00O.
The penalty of defeat was never
so terrible in the whole history OF
warfare as it is today. Today defeat
means annihilation. Economy of a
navy in time of peace is not wisdom
but rank folly.
Comparatively small funds saved
from year to year in the construction
of ships and their equipment is never
q real saving, since at any moment
it may lead to hundreds of the best
of our race being overwhelmed by q
superior force.
Before this war is over everyone
will realize that what in time of peace
some persons were accustomed to de
scribe as naval economy must be re
garded in time of war as murder up
ON the high seas.
