ALL AT GENERAL MUSTER"
Everybody Was More or Less inter-

In considering the subject Of pre-.

when states were divided into dis.
tricts, each one having n company to
which all men Of soldier age were re-
quired to belong, and give a few days
each year to military drill, the Colum-

Every year there would be "gener-
al muster" at which the various COM
panies would gather, and under the
command Of plumed and bespangled
officer would perform the various evo-
lutions and go through the manual Of
arms that would strike with awe the
surrounding crowd Of women and chill
drcn, gathered to witness the heroic
displays Of fathers and brothers.
These general musters were great

When they sit down to breakfast

They grow dyspeptic, morose, pessi-

Is Provided.

San Diego. Cal. Jan. S1.-victims Of
the floods which have overwhelmed
the valleys of San Diego county well
coined a day of sunshine today. Ma
rines from the United States reserve
fleet aided in searching for bodies. So
far about 35 have been recovered. The
list of dead is estimated at go. Relief
for the flood sufferers has been gath
cred and fund of $4,000 had been
raised before noon.
Looting described by Rear Admiral
William F. Fullam, commanding the
Pacific reserve fleet, as "the worst 1
have ever seem" broke out In the
stricken Otay valley Sunday while
sailors and marines from warships in
San Diego bay toiled to recover the
bodies of the go estimated victims Of
the lower Otay reservoir flood.
A new flood poured down the Tia
juana river Sunday, standing four
feet high near its mouth, which Is at
the foot of San Diego bay. Officials
here said that 1t undoubtedly indicated
the bursting of the Morena dam, so
miles back in the hills. On a chance
that the 15.ooo.OO0,Ooo gallons Of water
impounded by the dam would tear a
new channel for the river across the
Coronado strand into the sea, residents
of Imperial beach, a hamlet three miles
north of the river on the Strand. were
ordered to flee for their lives.
The lower Otay valley was an armed
camp Sunday. Marines and sailors
from the battleship Oregon and the
cruisers Milwaukee and South Da-
kota patrolled all approaches and pene-
trated into the valley. with orders to
shoot looters on sight. Each carried
20 rounds of ammunition. The ma
rines under Captain T. Westcott, Jr.,
camped in the valley. The sailors
under Ensign Hamilton O'Brien Of the
Milwaukee took quarters In the little
brick schoolhouse at Otay City. The
United States destroyer Lawrence act
ed as base ship and a hospital squad
from the Milwaukee operated in con-
junction with both forces.
First news OF the reported collapse
of the Morena dam came through An

Ervast could see four-foot wave
coming down the river. He turned his
automobile and spread the warning.
George Cromwell. city engineer of San
Diego. and others said that nothing
but the breaking OF the Morena dam
could cause the flood.
That the dam should go out was
generally unexpected. II stood 265 feet
high in a narrow gorge and was built
of masonry and concrete bolted with
iron rods. The top Of the dap was %
feet wide and 1t was braced with loose
rock on the downstream side. The
rock fill on the upper side of the dam
was derricked and hand placed. A
water supply was drawn from the re-
servoir behind the dam by a tunnel
through solid rock and was conducted
through a little watershed by a creek
which fed the otay dam.

were hardly better off as regards

women and children get less. There

months older.
What little corn there is sells for so
cents Mexican. per litre, which is more
than Mexican workmen earn. even un-

Is practically no work to be had now"
Newcome added that the few Euro

pneumonia and typhoid among the low :

tuberculosis is rapidly increasing. Ty-
phus fever, he said, was not generally
