Los Angeles Ca JAM 19-PatroIs in the flood zone to-
day kept watch for the bodies Of possible victims of
the southern California storm Latest revised figures
showed five persons positively known to be dead with
four more reported dead.

was believed likely that unreported deaths had occurred

but none confirmed.
Doubt was thrown the drowning of three man. wO-
and child between Anaheim and Fullerton yesterday
Thorough search for their bodies failed although dead

Washington, D. G., Jan. l9.-(Spe-
cial. National preparedness has be-
come the most vital issue before the
American people. President Wilson is
insisting that legislation must be en-
acted without delay to the attainment
of this end. Many congressman at
their homes during the holiday season,
learned how ardent is the sentiment of
their constituents on this issue.

constructive policy, perhaps typical of
average sentiment, midway between
the extreme tendencies of those who
would place us on war footing and
the advocates of peace at any price.
Senator Burton has no sympathy with
preparation for offensive warfare. He
believes in such degree of prepared
ness as is essential to our national de-
fense, and opposes the creation Of a
military spirit which snail dominate all
the affairs of our national life. He ad.
vocates the enlargement of u regular
army and the reorganization and de.
velopment Of the national guard as an
effective adjunct to our regular mill
tary establishment. He also lays stress
upon the need for available officers,
thoroughly trained in the theory and
tactics of warfare. For this reason. he
advocates enlarging the military and
naval academies at Annapolis and West
Point, although there is much opposi.
tion to such a course.
Burton IS attitude is of particular in.
terest because he is president of the
American Peace society, While he ad.
voeates a proper system of prepared
ness, he has not lost sight of the ulti-
mate idea in the settlement Of inter.
national disputes by judicial methods.
But however varied the views of pre-.
paredness leaders, none have lost sigat
Of the more practical question that The
United States must be prepared to de.
fend itself against aggression from any

Governor Denies That

The foregoing, which appeared in the

caused Secretary w. AL. Jones to give
out his interview today. The governor 5
statement was given out after the resig-
nations Of n. X. West and j. II. Booth

Roseburg National bank. Both Of the
