Lieutenant Gebse, of Glogau, and
his orderly, Private Tuerk, of Essen,
in one of the battles in Poland with

grenades. When their ammunition

repeated twice. but when he returned
the third time he found the lieutenant
and his comrades surrounded by a

a half dozen bombs into the ranks of
the Russians, demoralizing them COM

Washington or Bryan2

The limoges are now talking about spend
ing three hundred million dollars on the navy
and one hundred and fifty million dollars on
the army, or four hundred and fifty million
dollars per year getting ready for wars that
ought never to come. Four hundred and
fifty millions year would amount to about
five billions in eleven years! That sum
would gridiron the United States with hard
roads twelve miles apart, so that no citizen
would live more than six miles from good
road which would enable him to 80 every
where. It is estimated that farmer can
haul four times as much on hard road as on
dirt road. What boon it would be to a
farmer to be relieved of the mud embargo!
The sum above mentioned would in ten years
revolutionize the road travel and traffic Of
the country, but half that sum would prob
ably supply present needs. If we keep our
army and navy appropriations they are
now and simply use for good roads the sum
which the jingoes desire to add to these ap
propriations, the benefits to business will be
enormous. Good roads or frenzied prepared
ness, which?
So writes William Jennings Bryan, "peace-at-
any-price" advocate, in his Commoner.
We believe the former premier of the Wilson
cabinet is guilty of an exaggeration when he as
serts there is demand for "frenzied" prepared
ness. The American people are not likely to be-
come frenzed in their advocacy Of any military
policy. Having realized their utter lack Of mill
tary preparedness they are now firmly insisting
that congress provide an adequate national de-
tense, and a saner demand than this was never
made by our people.
Mr.. Bryan is an idealist, dreamer. He has
seen what weight treaties have in the prevention
of war but he would still have this country de-
pend upon arbitration treaties as its sole protec-
tion from attack and invasion. Unlike Mr.. Bryan

I'VE may expect everything from ours

U. S. MESSAGE ENDS
TEUTON CONTROVERSY

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Presi-
dent Wilson's note of rebuke to Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador, for his expressions regarding
American neutrality, closes the Incl
dent.
State department officials say the
reply, upholding the dignity of the
United States but refraining from Civ
ing offense to Germany, contains all
that the government has to say and
that the German ambassador can
have no excuse for reviving the mat
ter. 1t is confidently expected that
no reply will be made to the note.
The answer, while cordial in tone
and giving Count Bernstorff "credit
for laboring under certain false i'm
pressions" regarding the attitude OF
the United States, says, among other
things:
81 regret to say the language your
excellency employed in your memor-
andum is susceptible of being con-
strued as impugning the good faith of
the United States in the performance
of it's duties as a neutral"
The German ambassador is also in
formed that issues between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain growing
out of British interference with Amer
lean trade are not to be discussed be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.

FOREST PROTECTION SYSTEM
URGED BEFORE LEGISLATURE
STATE FORESTER ISSUES NUM-
BER OF "DON'TS" FOR CAMPERS
1910 Fires Reported During Last Sea.
son, Many of Which Might have
Been Avoided if Rules
Had Been Observed

SACRAMENTO, April 27.-At pres
ent there is measure before the Cali
fornia legislature seeking to provide
for forest protection system Wheth-
er this measure becomes law or not,
it is essential that those who enjoy
spending their vacation in the woods
be familiar with the fire hazards
which threaten their Fairgrounds
son there were 1910 fires reported,
and many of these could easily have
been avoided.
G. M. Homans, the state forester,
urgently advises that all campers this
season make and keep their camp sites
as nearly as possible fireproof.
Never go away and leave an open
fire unattended if it is in the vicinity
of brush and grass.
Don't forget that one moment of
carelessness with a camp fire, cigar
stump, lighted match or cigarette is
apt to result in days of anxious and
expensive fire-fghting.
Never break camp without thor
oughly extinguishing your camp fire.
Remember that the genuine camp
er, the skilled woodsman, is as care
full about building and putting out his
fire as he is about feeding his horse
and having gasoline in his automobile
tank
Don't forget that if you let a fire get
away from you you have wronged the
state and have subjected yourself to
just criticism from your friends who
now think you are a fine woodsman.
Don't hesitate to tell another when
you think he is being careless with
fire.
If you find a beautiful camp site, try
to leave it more attractive than you
found it.
