NEW YORK, Aug. ls.-The re-
moval of the Belgian capital to Ant
werp is of no importance, except
as an indication of the approach Of
the first great battle of the war
near Brussels.
There would be no object to the
allies in preparing TO defend Brus-
sells. II is without any adequate
fortifications and being almost in
the center of the Belgian plain. its
investment would be easy. The
Belgian army engineers rejected
Brussels as the site for their CEN
traI fortresses because of its un-
favorable strategic position.
They selected Antwerp. and have
made II the second strongest for
tress in Europe. Paris alone rank
ing above il. AS long as England
commands the sea Antwerp cannot
be starved into submission, and
German assaults on the defAnses
could be withstood indefinitely.
AntwCrp's Notifications recently
were renovated. The perimeter to
be defended is siXty-four miles and
requires a force OF $1,000. In this
safe arsenal, Belgium wisely has
decided to place her national ar
chives, and will direct the govern
ment OF the country from practi-
cally impregnable position.

British mobilization plans are known
to have arranged for moving 5000
men a day to the Continent. This
means a maximum of 200, 900 British

JOHNSON SAYS
SHOWING GOOD
CALIFORNIA; GOVERNOR JUBI-
LIANT OVER SHOWING OF PRO-
GRESSIyE STRENGTH.
Figures Show Astounding Growth OF
Party In Golden State and Cover
nor Predicts Great Results.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.-Gover
nor Hiram Johnson was jubilant today
over the strength the progressive party
is showing throughout California in
the 1914 registration race. Although
the republicans so far have been in the
lead, the governor expressed conf
dence that his party will overcome
this difference before the registration
books close on May 27.
Up to date the republicans have
shown the greatest strength in Los
Angeles and San Francisco. In each
place they lead the progressives by
about 1000 voters. In San Francisco
the republicans are about 400 ahead,
and the democrats about half hum
dred. Seventeen centers of population
recently showed the republican regis
tration to be 97O6; progressives. 1925,
and democrats, 5426.
"The figures show said Gov. John
son today, "a phenomenal registration
of progressives. Here is a new party
that in a few days registers almost
1000 more members than one of the
old parties, and 5000 less than the
other old party. The present registra-
ton represents only about one-twenty
fifth of the total vote that will be cast
in November when full state ticket
and asuccessor to United States Sena-
tor Perkins will be elected. | expect
the progressive candidates to poll
more votes than the combined vote of
all other candidates.
when it is understood that regis
tration does not mean voting strength
of candidates in any respect, and that
most of the people register from force
of habit or tradition, the enrolment OF
the California progressive party is
nothing less than astounding. The re
publicans and the democrats have al
ready shown how they fear the results
by their present activities. On the
other hand, the progressive party has
not done one-half the work that the
other parties have done, and they have
shown better results"

pope Plus Again in Troubled Waters
as Result Of European
Politics.

ROME. Jan. 30.-Pope Plus is again
in troubled waters as a result of Eu-
ropean politics. Servia, whose terri
tory has been doubled as a result oil
the two recent Balkan wars, has just
sent to Rome a commission to negotl-
ate conocrdat with the Vatican.
Personally, the pope is most favor
ably disposed toward Servia. Austria,
however, which is the Vatican's strong
est friend amongst the big European
powers, has for the past century been
trying to crush the little state that IS
always trying to create a big Slav
empire on her southern border Aus
tria also enjoys from the Vatican the
position of protector of the Cathollc
church i nthe entire Balkan peninsu-

She has lodged an emphatic protest
with the pope against this diminution
of her power and the increase OF that

ton.

MINERS TO DEMAND INCREASES
United MinewOrkers VIII Ask for Ten
Per cent Increase of Wages
in Coal Districts.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 30-De-
mands for ten per cent wage increase
for coal miners were to be formulated
today at a district meeting of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America Pat
rick Gilday, district president, was to
preside. In sounding the keynote OF
the meeting today Giiday declared that
the operators, with whom their con-
tracts expire April |, are practically
certain to grant the increases to be
demanded He predicted that the in
creases would go into effect by Febru-
airy 1, and that the same wage raises
will be granted in other Pennsylvania
districts. The operators today de-
clared that the calling of a convention
of the miners for February "a was
done in the hope of forcing a meeting
of the wage scales committees of both
sides later in the month in order that
when the present contracts expire
there will have been month of dis
agreement over wages, which, accord
ing to the contracts, would give the
men the right to strike without auto
breaking the agreements.

SEA SAFETY RULES READY


| LONDON, Jan. 30.--The convention
carrying the rules for safety at sea
which has been under discussion and
consideration in international confer
ence for some time, has been COM
pleted and is due to be signed today
1t provides that disputes as they may
arise will be submitted to The Hague
by agreement between both parties.
This is victory for the Americas
delegates. Another American victory
lis a provision guaranteeing patrol
of the ice in the derelict zone. The pro-
posal for his was presented by Sen
ator Lewis of Illinois. The senator,
however, gives credit for its adoption
to Captains Boullard and Cooper of
the U. S. navy. Capt. Commandment
Bertholf, chief of the division Of the
revenue cutter service, and Eugent Ty-
Ter Chamberlain, commissioner Of the
bureau Of navigation.
The convention also contains pro-
vision that during fog or other dan
gerous conditions ships must slow
down, and that ships before sailing
must have certificates issued at the
whalf showing that they are properly
equipped for life saving. Senator Lew
is said that all these victories for the
American delegation were largely the
work of Prof Alexander of Wash
ington and the American officers.

BOUQUETS.

Subsequent to the recent fire in the
Hotel Moscow, an insurance man. who
arrived in Moscow a few hours after
the fire had broken out, said to prom
inent business man here: Il never
knew before why the volunteer fire
department in Moscow had the best
standing with the underwriters of all
volunteer departments in the entire
northwest and along the coast. But
since | have seen with my own eyes
just how that fire was handled this
morning, | understand the matter per-
fectly'
This enthusiastic and well-deserved
compliment is borne out by an item
clipped from the Underwriters Re-
port of San Francisco, which has just
been sent to resident of Moscow.
The item reads
Adjuster W. " Windus of Spo
kane has returned from Moscow,
Idaho, where he adjusted the loss
in the hotel owned by j. w. Nc
Cusker The fire started on the
morning of January 10th from the
kitchen range and reused one hun
bred guests from their sleep. The
loss was first reported to amount
to $4,000, but upon adjustment it
was found to be $50 on contents
and $4S5 on building, the principal
damage being mostly from smoke
and water. Adjuster Windus re-
ported that members of the volun-
teer fire department are entitled to
great credit for the excellent work
they did in checking the fire with
so little loss. There was $4,000
insurance involved, $41 900 being
carried on building and $4,000 on
contents.
Chief Keane and all the members OF
his several companies should feel |
proud of their record and of the ex-
cellent reputation they bear abroad
as well as at home.

A BASIS FOR FUTURE WORK.

During the present week several
thousands of copies of the report pre-
pared some weeks ago by the civic
committee of the Moscow Chamber of
Commerce, have been distributed by
the newspapers throughout the coun-
ty. This report analyses the sources
of revenue in the county and the uses
for which those revenues are expend-
ed. By Saturday night every person
in the county who has access to a
newspaper will have had an oppor-
tunity to read at his leisure the re-
suits of a conscientious survey of the
presented by men well-qualified both
in training and disposition to view
the matter intelligently and fairly.
1t is hoped that the public at large
will take advantage of this unusual OPP
portunity and will read the report with
the care it merits. The members of
the civic committee, l.. f. Parsons.
f. L. Barrows, and c. L. Butterfield.
deserve unqualified praise and the
hearty thanks of the county for as
sembling so great an array of facts
and for deducing from these statistics
conclusions which will doubtless be
the inspiration for some immediate and
effective reforms.
