Exciting Times Ahead
On the Peninsula Coast

San Diego, Feb. 9.-Exciting times
along the Lower California coast, es-
pecially in the vicinity of Ensenada,
are looked forward to within the next
few days by those acquainted with
conditions along the Spanish Main, y
as the lower coast has been dubbed
by shipping men.
The first chapter in the coming
drama was written today, when the
schooner Annie Larsen, trim of hull
and looking like a privateer, will sail,
ostensibly bound for Topolobampo,
with 1000 Springfield rifles and
100000 rounds of cartridges careful
ly slowed away in her hold. Fol-
lowing the Annie, with her blunt nose
pointed in the wake of the windjammer,
will be the ocean-going launch Main,
carrying as passengers two military
officers attached to the staff of Colo
rel Estaban Cantu, military COVER
nor of Lower California.
In order to make the plot more
simple, it is explained that the car
go of munitions of war aboard the
Imperial Valley press., 1915-02-09

Annie is consigned to Carranza SYM
pathizers, while the duty Of the war;
riors aboard the Main, who are VIII
Ia adherents, will be, if possible, to
prevent the Annie's cargo from be-
ing unloaded on Lower California
soil.
The closing and last chapter in this
stirring drama of the sea is predicted
to be written when the Main runs
afoul of the Carranza gunboat Guer-
rero, which, it is reported, steamed
from Salina Cruz for Ensenada today
for the avowed purpose of shelling
that port. permit the landing of the
Annie's cargo of rifles and ammuni-
tion and at the same. time launch
Carranza's long-expected invasion of
Lower California. What the little
unarmored and unarmed Main with
her passenger list of Villa officers
will do is problematical, but the sup
position is that old King Neptune will
have as members of his salty FAM
lily Colonel Cantu's former staff, as
well as the doughty crew of what was
once the sea-going launch Main.

Filibuster Continues.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Repub-

through the night and was maintained
unbroken this afternoon. Jones of
Washington, who took the floor at

this morning. At 9:1O Fletcher Of
Florida asked that an order be issued
bringing the absent senators into the

At 9:26 Reed of Missouri offered
a motion placing all absent senator's

Change on the East.

Petrograd, Feb. 9.-Another sudden
change has taken place in the stu
alton on this front. The enemy ap-
pears to have abandoned his efforts
to break through on the Bzura- Rawka
line and to be concentrating his main
energy on an attempt to roll up the
extreme left of the Russian position
iE Bukowina and the eastern ridge
of the Galician Carpathians. The Ger
mans have also hurried reinforce
ments into eastern Prussia and as
sumed the offensive in the valley of
the Sheshupa, thus far without sue
cess.
1t is still an open question whether
these movements have immediate con-
nection with one another. In military
circles the idea seems to predominate
that the Germans have convinced
themselves nothing is to be gained
from further sacrifice of life on the
insurmountable barrier to the west

flag" as in the pending case of the
Lusitania.
The officials of the administration
are aware that Great Britain claims
that the practice of securing escape
by the use of neutraPs flag is JUS
tifiable and they are also aware that
the change of flag on the Lusitania
was at the suggestion of the British
admiralty itself.

understood to be already in the pos

Page at London, although Secretary

Growing in Violence.

Stomer, France, via Paris, Feb. o.
The second Battle of Flanders is
steadily growing in violence. The
Germans are bringing up reinforce
ments transferred from Rheims and
are beginning to hurl them against

are severe. The hospitals at Rou-
lers were overcrowded with wounded
during the night and day.
The village of Mlddlekerke was

England Admits Russia's
Annexation of Galicia

ficials said today that the case of
the Lusitana "is still under consid-
eration."
The informant of the International
News Service as to the action of the
state department says that the repre-
sentations to Great Britain will be in
a perfectly friendly spirit and cam
not be construed in the technical sense
of protest.
These things are pointed out as con-
tributing to the necessity of immedi-
ate action by the government:
First, that this government has rea-
son to believe that if it does not act
promptly Germany would be obliged
to protest to the state department
against Great Britains misure of the
American flag.
Second, that if the United States
did not express itself clearly and
promptly against such misure of the
flag, Germany would be justified in
declaring to the United States that
it was celebrating an unneutral con-
dition."
, 1t is pointed out that if Great Brit
ain induced to respect the American
flag Germany would have little ex-
Cuse for entertaining suspicion against
any vessel flying that flag.
/ Neither Secretary Bryan nor any
official at the White House would
admit that there was sufficient ma
terial yet in the hands of the admin
istration on which to base a judgment,
much less protest against Germany's
creation and proposed administration
Of her war zone.

GUM TREES DEVELOP
PECULIAR CONDITION

A battling new affection, with ap-
parently no visible cause, has been
discovered among eucalyptus trees in
various districts of the valley. F. w
Waite, county horticultural commits
sioner, is investigating the peculiar
condition and probably will solve the
mystery within few days.
Affected trees are characterized by
a dark brown coating of crystallized
sap which clings to the bark. The
affection covers the trees from the
earth upward, varying in height from
less than two feet to ten feet, but, as
far as is known, does, not appear to
injure or deter healthy growth.

of Warsaw. 1t is even a question
whether the Germans, after their CO.
lossal losses of the past few days,
any longer possess sufficient mum
ber of fresh, mistaken units to make
any serious assaults on the trenches
of the Russians in that quarter. Pos
sibly they are merely drawing their
breath after their stupendous and
costly exertions of the last week and
in spite of all failures and fruitless
sacrifices will once more launch their
masses at the Russian positions.
Looked at as a whole, the situa-
tion in the Carpathians seems emi-
nently satisfactory. IT. is true the
Russians have had to give way in
Rukowina, but the movements there
must be regarded merely as local in
cidents in big general battle along
the whole ridge and the tendency of
this is distinctly in favor of the Rus
slams.
