SOUTH AFRICAN
CASE IS SERIOUS
viii Take Strong Army Loya.
To Great Britain To Insure
Her Control
(Cor. of The Associated Press

London, Jan. 15.-In the Sou,
African governments announcement
that it has been found necessary q
resort to CONSUMPTION for the raisIn,
of an additional army against the in
surrectionists some German and Dutch
ape find hints that the situation in
South Africa is more serious tina ha4
been heretofore admitted.
A later dispatch from Pretoria an.

in the northwest. The dispatch states
a all citizens between the ages OF

portion of the defense force NAV he
called upon.
The official communicate from Pre-
tOria is not Of an alarmist nature. and
frankly states the reasons for resort
ing to CONSUMPTION. The communious
says:
I'm dealing with the rebellion thu
government did not rely on volunteers
alone. and. although the rebellion has
been suppressed, it is clear that. if tina
rebel leaders in German South-West
Africa succeed, the situation NAV
again become acute.
The government consider they
would not be justified in relying
wholly upon the voluntary principle
to ward off the danger which
threatens every citizen Of the Union.
In view Of the danger Of invasion, il
WI be necessary to employ much
larger forces than at first intended
in order to destroy the enemy and re
bel forces, SO that they may never
again menace the peace of South
Africa. There can, therefore, be no
etWeen guarding the Dor
ders from invasion and the proven
ton Of invasion by dealing with the
enemy beyond the borders. The gov
considers that the burden
OF this effort should not be borne en-
tirely by those who volunteered their
services.
Another reason for not relying on
the voluntary principle is the atti-
tude OF the rural population. There
is a very large section Of the Dutch
speaking community with the most
excellent military qualifications and
war experience. who are perfectly
ready to give their services in freeing
South Africa from the menace of Ger
man militarisn, but who have a fun
damental prejudice against the prin-
clple Of volunteering; shortly. their
attitude is that if the governmen re-
quire their services, they should COM
mandeer them.
"A proclamation is. therefore, be-
ing issued today, providing the legal
machinery to meet Thu feeling.
While maintaining its undoubted
constitutional right to demand the
personal service Of all able-bodied
citizens, the government desires to
avol Imposing ~avoidable hardship
The proclamation, therefore. calls
upon certain areas to contribute a
reasonable quota of the men re.
quired, leaving the local officers Ia
| make the most suitable selections, re-
tanning, however, the right Of lega'
compulsion.
IN government express their con.
, fdence that compulsion will be I'm.
l necessary and that citizens will rem.
der in the German Southwest Afri-
can campaign as willing and loya

success in the suppression OF the re.

Pioneers had Much Faith.
(Elma Chronicle. J

A perusal of the % years ago col
umns in the present day issues of
this paper will show the faith of the
pioneers of this section. At that
time Elma, so local residents be-
lieved, was to have three railroads
from Gray's Harbor to Puget Sound,
while the Olympic peninsula was to
be opened up by a railroad from
Elma to Port Townsend. Also Elma
was destined to be great lumber
center. with hop yards on every hand
in the cleared spaces where dairy
farms were not already established.
Iron mines and coal mines and manu-
featuring plants of many kinds exist
ed in the imaginative eyes of the
sturdy pioneers. Reality has come
with the years, and some visions, at
least, of Elma's greatness have faded
into the night.

FOLLOWS OLYMPIA PLAN
Centralia Contracts With Fleisch-
hauer for Light and Power.

Following closely the plan proposed
for Olympia, the city of Centralia has
entered into a contract with H. G.
Fleischhauer, formerly connected
with the Washington-Oregon corpo-
ration, whereby that city binds itself
to purchase from Fleischhauer all
electric power used through the mu-
nicipal transmission plant for five
years, at cents per kilowat hour for
the first year and " cents for the
remainder of the period, guarantee
ing minimum of sS25 a month. The
city has been paying ~ cent rate.
Olympia has called for bids to fur
nish the city light and power, but
Olympia also proposes to go into the
commercial sale of the product and
to erect it's transmission system
throughout the city, the cost to be
paid by the abutting property under
the local improvement district plan,
while Centrala merely proposes to
use the light and power for municipal
uses. According to the Centralia
Hub, the contract requires Fleisch-
hauer to start work on his plant
August 1 and to have it completed
and ready for operation October LIST.
"Mr. Fleischhauer declined to state
at this time who are associated with
him in this venture" continues the
Hub, NOR did he care to state what
title the company would operate I'M
der. He stated, however. that 1t was
an entirely independent concern.
financed by Western capital and that
it's sole business would be the manu-
facture and sale of electric current.
He stated that the plant to supply the
power contracted for by the city
would be erected in or near Centra-
liza and would be steam plant, as
would any additional plant OF the
near future. His company expects 10

Did Well to Quit.
(Ellensburg Democrat

The resignation of Hon. William
Jennings Bryan, secretary of state,
came as clap of thunder out OF
clear sky to most people and yet it
has been known for several weeks
that he and President Wilson disa-
greed on most important questions af-
fecting the people of this country,
though their personal relations were
of the most pleasant. Mr.. Bryan, fail
ign to agree with the president and
the other members of the cabinet,
thought it best to resign, and thus
give way to one who would, thus pro-
noting harmony. Mr.. Wilson OF
course felt he must maintain the
honor and dignity of the nation and
to do so he must take a firm and de-
cided stand for his conception OF
right and justice, he alone being re-
sponsible to the people of this great
nation. Mr.. Bryan did all any good
American could do by resigning when
he was no longer in harmony with the
president and the remainder of the
cabinet.

Lister ShOU:T BE REELECTED.
(Inland Empire News.)

If Governor Ernest Lister were to
announce himself as candidate for
United States senator, he'd be given
some mighty strong support. But we
hope to see Governor Lister a candi-
date for reelection to the governor
ship. The state never had a better
executive and we believe that a ma
jority of the people want him for gov
ernor another four years. His adj
ministration has been a success right
through. and that's what the people
want. Governor Lister has saved the
state more money, perhaps, than any
other executive the state has ever had
and that, too, under adverse circum-
stances and in spite of extravagant
Republican legislatures.

Whatnewspapers aretalking about
Bryan Great in Retirement.
(Puyallup Valley Tribune

lPuyallup Valley Tribune.)
Nobody more than Woodrow Will
son, as one contemporary has truly
expressed it, regrets the Bryan resig-
nation. On this the president himself
has spoken. In reply to the letter of
resignation the president wrote Mr..
Bryan a note that will be treasured
generations hence as a precious keep
sake in the Bryan family. No chief
ever gave a retiring associate a
cleaner bill of health. No president
ever placed in the hands of a retiring
assistant more splendid credential.
Mr.. Bryan is great in his retirement.
He parted with his chief on supreme
issue. The point of difference is not
petty question, but world question.
If his view is so fixed that he could
not assent to his chiefs view, it is to
Mr.. Bryan's credit that he placed his
conscience above the premiership in
the cabinet of the United States. And
of even greater stature on the heights
in this tremendous incident is Wood
row Wilson. His is the responsible
ity and his must be the ultimate
choice in charting the difficult course
of the country. He must accept the
consequences. His courage in choos-
ing his position, and the generous
and affectionate commentator with
which he parts with his late associate
are a magnificent testimonial to his
conscience, his justice and to his
depth of feeling. There will be no
feud between the president and his
late premier. Statesmen of their
mold may dissent, but they will not
dispute. EXponeitts of the same
school of political thought, they may
differ, but they will not part. Mr..
Bryan's retirement will not shake the
confidence of the country in Presi-
dent Wilson and his administration.
The constructive powers and far
reaching vision of the chief executive
are universally confessed, and the
confidence of the country will follow
him almost implicitly in the course he
has chosen in his negotiations with
Berlin.

Calls Resignation Untimely.
Snohomish Advanced

The news of the resignation of
William Jennings Bryan from the Of
fee of secretary of state, has caused
considerable stir here and has been
a general topic of conversation. All
sorts of opinions are expressed, from
one extreme view to the other. Many
honor Bryan for what they believe to
be his honest convictions, many who
admit Bryan's integrity feel that he
has made a grave mistake, and there
are some who believe that he has
made his move at this time to pave
his way for the Democratic nomina-
ton next year and to win the support
of German Americans. A general
consensus of opinion appears to be
that the resignation was untimely.
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1915-06-18
:: WHAT Newspapers ARE TALKING ABOUT :

Tor instance, and possibly England,
may take it that Bryan's attitude in
dlcates a division in the support of
the president in this country, which
is not the case, but which may be
hard to explain and may have a bear
ing on the settlement of difficulties
now being negotiated with those gov
ernments. Bryan's resignation at
this time more than ever marks his
lack of ability and true statesman
ship.

MILLER IS ACQUITTED
Frees Man Who Shot Chatter.
Chatten.

Cheered in demonstration re-
markable in the history of the local
superior court, A. l.. Miller, former
sales manager of the Union Lumber
company at Union Mills. was last
Saturday acquitted by jury of the
charge of first degree murder for the
shooting of w. NJ. Chatter, his supe-
rior, the first time in the history of
the state that jury accepted the
"unwritten law" and held that
man was justified in defending his
home.
The trail occupied all of last week,
the case going to the jury at
O'Clock Saturday afternoon after an
eloquent appeal by Attorney T. M.
Vance, representing Miller. and the
closing argument by Prosecuting At
torney Geo. F. Yantis, and the ver-
dict was given an hour later. Imme-
diately upon it's announcement, the
crowd of curious onlookers, who had
jammed the courtroom all week and
had waited confidently Saturday af-
ternoon for quick decision from the
jury, broke into cheers and Judge d.
IF. Wright permitted the demonstra-
ton to 60 unchecked.
| Mrs. Miller broke down and cried
with joy, while there were tears also
in Miller's eyes, the first emotion he
had shown during the trial. AS the
crowd surged around them, they
thanked the Jurors. and as they left
the courthouse to return to their
home at Union Mills they were
stopped many times by friends who
wanted to shake hands with them.
Saturday night was the first time
the family had been together in their
home since the shooting on the even
ing of May 2, Miller having spent the
intervening time in Jail. He is UNI
decided as to future plans.

cared for by one attendant rather
than under hit-or-miss plan where
number of school children TRY
their hand" at feeding the fowls.
Two male birds are kept with the
80 hens only during the breeding
season, and eggs are sold in the open
market when not sold to club MEM
bers or individuals for setting. To
prevent inbreeding, however, the
ROSTERS of different strain may be
substituted each spring. One of the
United States department of agricul-
lures specialists will this fall visit
the school and farms in the vicinity
OF Middletown, and help select the
best poultry for breeding purposes.
These breeders will be retained ON
the farms on which they were grown,
and thus the farmer or school child
who has once obtained setting of
eggs will not need again to apply at
the school for more.
Club Members Enthusiastic.
The school club members are en-
thusiastic about their work and at
the fall and winter shows carry off
most of the prizes. At the first egg
show held last year, some SO dozen
eggs were exhibited and the student
competition was keen. Another show
was held this year in May.
A schoolhouse also may be made
the center for collecting eggs fresh
from any part of the country within
a fair distance, as the school chill
dren come daily to the school. and
can easily bring the fresh eggs with
them. These eggs can be marketed
in the city and bring special prices,
because they can be guaranteed as
strictly fresh.
The poultry club in addition af-
fords a chance to exchange breeding
fowls and to introduce new blood
into the fiocks. 1t also provides a
valuable outlet for the energies of
the young folks who are interested
in things pertaining to the farm.

Another View of Bryan.

(Prosser Independent-Recor
BRYAN is to be commended for his
desire to avoid war. He is also to be
commended for his voluntary resig-
nation when he cannot work in har-
mony with the rest of the cabinet on
matters of international gravity. A
firmer policy may bring a more
speedy peace. There is no cause for
the administration to be weakened.
Neither will there be any greater
cause for war. A greater confidence
has sprung up already among the
people, and the belief grows that the
issue will be handled firmly and with
Justice to all.

Our Senatorial Timber.
(Mt. Vernon Herald.D

Sometimes the young men Of today
become discouraged in the thought
that the world is so full of great men
that their chances for place in the
hall of fame are few. They should
cheer up. One look at the announced
senatorial timber in this district
should convince them that there is
room a-plenty for men of brains and
political integrity.
