 Drastic martial law was established in the Otay and Tia Juana valleys late today by Lieut.. w. w. Bradley, in charge of relief work, as the result of the alleged greedy attitude of store keepers at Palm City and other sec tions throughout the flooded country. Lieut. Bradley sent word to Rear Admiral William F. Fullam by Captain Albery Samson, chief pilot for the nay al relief expedition, that StOrekeeperS in the valley were charging prOhibitive prices for all foodstuffs and that he was compelled to serve notice that un- l less the prices were immediately re- duced to normal the stores would be closed by the naval patrols and the | foodstuffs seized.
 | EXpeditionary forces of marines and bluejackets are now operating over an eighteen mile front in the Otay and Tia ] Juana valleys. Early this morning four MeXicans heavily armed and on horse 1 back was sighted by a squad of ma rines coming across the Tia Juana riv-
 CT about two miles above the site of
 the Lower California Jockey club. As
 soon as the MeXicans caught sight of
 the marines they turned about and i headed for Mexican soil as fast as their ! horses could swim.
 ] Two expeditions of bluejackets and marines were sent out from headquar-
 ters at the Otay schoolhouse at day | break today. The first penetrated through the country to Upper Otay and reported that the dam there was in
 excellent condition and that the peo- | pie are being well taken care of.
 The second detachment, carrying ] large quantities of supplies strapped
 to their backs, succeeded in smashing
 their way through to Morena dam. By
 a system of wig Wag signals they re
 ported that MOrena was standing firm.
 This detachment will remain in the
 vicinity of Morena for sometime en-
 gagged in patrol and protective duty. ! Lieut.. Bradley has commandeered a
 number of horses and sections of the
 military forces under his command are
 now doing scout and searching duty mounted. The waters are receding rap

 There seem to move ghostly visions of devoted men, who, looking at that flag, thought only of liberty, of the rights of mankind, of the mission of America to show the way to the world for the realization of the rights of mankind; and every grave of every brave man of the country would seem to have upon it the colors of the flag, If he was q true American; would seem to have on it that stain of red which means the true pulse of blood: and that beauty of pure white which means , the peace of the soul And then there seems to rise over the graves of those men and to hallow their memories that : blue space of the sky in which stars swim, those stars which eXemplify for us that glorious galaxy of the states ot the union, bodies of free men banded together to vindicate the rights of mankind"
 The president and Mrs. Wilson ar rived here at 6: 50 o'clock and were met
 
 senting the greater Des Moines com mittee, the chamber of commerce and the East DeS Moines commercial club Four companies of national guar ardsmen with the entire police force of the cit>t held back the large crowd which packed the sidewalks all the way to the hotel The progress of the president was marked by cheers. A closed automobile was used by the president. for the temperature was near zero Both Mr an1 Mrs. Wilson were wrapped in furs | At the hotel the president and Mrs Wilson shook hands with members of the committee and then dined privately in their suite before leaving for the Coliseum where the address was to be delivered. Secretary Tumulty Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the White House phy- Sician, and other members of the party were entertained at dinner by the com mittee.
 Shortly before reaching Des Moines the president spoke briefly at Newton Iowa, urging the people to support his preparedness program, and telling them the difficulty of keeping the United States out of the European war. He said:
 ! T can hardly do more than express my very deep qualification that you should have come out in such numbers and with such cordiality to greet me. It want to believe, and l do believe, i that 1t i; because of your interest in the errand upon which I have come; be- cause I have very seriously felt the re- sponsibility of keeping this country at peace. I believe that if you knew the difficulties With which I have had to contend, you wuo,d know how sincerely and constantly l have striven for the peace of America. But have realized, my fellow citizens, that there were a good many elements in this situation which nobody on this side of the water could cOnt.kl and that therefore it was my duty to see that the country was adequately prepared for any crisis that might befall it.
 ] Thanks to the president for his stand on the woman suffrage question was extended to him tonight by Iowa suf- i fragists, who sent MT. and Mrs. Wilson a bouquet of flowers, and note vel coming them to Iowa.

erable body of men who are trying to stir the very sort of excitement in this country upon which every true well balanced American ought to froWn. There are actually men in America who are preaching war; who are preaching the duty of the United States to do what it never before would seek, entanglements in the con- troversies which have arisen on the other side of the Water-abandon it's habitual and traditional policy and deliberately engage in the conflict which is now engulfing the rest of the world. l do not know what the stan dards of citizenship of these gentle men may be. I only know that I, for one, cannot subscribe to those stan dards.
 q believe that I more truly speak the spirit of America when I say that that spirit is a spirit of peace. Why, no voice has ever come to any public man more audibly, more unmistakably than the voice of this great people has come to me, bearing this impress sive lesson.
 Nt di ' todiitiiiS ul'oii yot to hCOp this country out of war
 And I call you to witness, my fel- low countrymen, that l have spent every thought and energy that has been Vouchsafed me in order to keep this country out of war. It cannot be disclosed now, perhaps it can never be disclosed how anxious and how difficult that task has been, but
 my heart has been in it. l have not grudged a single burden that has been thrown upon me with that end in view, for I knew that not only my own heart but the heart of all Amer ica. was in the cause of peace. And yet, my fellow citizens, there :, are some men amongst us preaching 1 peace who go much further than 1 can 1 go. Not further than l can go in the
 sentiment of peace; not further than | truth warrants them in going in in- i terpreting the desire and sentiment of America, but further than I can fol-

 can follow them, in preaching the doc | Urine of peace at any price and in any
 circumstances. There is a price which

 It was announced that the Cuyamaca supply would remain shut off until after a meeting of the city council to- morrow, when it was expected a new agreement would be reached or else the plan abandond altogether.
 Several councilmen expressed them selves as favoring temporary incon- Venience until the new pumps ordered from San Francisco for the city's mission valley plant, which will take water from the San Diego river, were put into operation.

BEALE ESTATE IN COURT

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb. l. The John Edward Beale estate con test, involving half q million dollars, will go to it's second trial in the su- perior court here tomorrow The for mer jury disagreed. The contestants are Arthur Stearns and other neph- eWs and nieces in Chicago and New Jersey, and the general charge against the widow Mrs. Lillion .Beale is, that she influenced her husband in the drawing of the will. The former jury did not agree on a number of issues, and found that Mir. Beale's will was properly drawn, that Mrs. Beale did not administer any drugs to Mir Beale prior to the making of the will
 and that she did not refuse other relatives to visit him. It is known that the contestants will endeavor to have all these issues reopened.

any grUmhlinG WhateVer; because We are not selfishly rich; we are a very rich people, but we cannot be rich as people unless we maintain our char acter and integrity as a people. Life is not worth anything for us as a nation F tne very issues of life for the nation itself are put in jeopardy by the action which We neglect to take. And so 1 have cone out on this occasion merely to get into touch with you, my fellow citizens, merely to let you know in tenn Lcrate words from my own lips that the men who are saying that preparation for national defense is necessary-and Immediately neJessarNt- are speaking the sober truth. And believe that you will credit the statement that no man Is in better position to know that than l am.
 One aspect of this matter makes me very glad indeed. It is very delightful sometimes, as upon this occasion, to lind an issue regarding which no line can De drawn between one party and another. So that l have not the em- Iarrassment in standing before you to- night of making the impression that 1 am urging the advantage of party, or the advantage of an individual. There fore are just as many men interested in national defense on the one side as on tic other. They are all actuated by the same motives; they may differ as to details, but they do not differ as to their objects; and I thank God that WI comes to the life and welfare of the United States.
 Do you suppose that if the country were in danger any man would hesitate to volunteer dn the ground that he be- longed to this party or to the otherf Do you suppose that if a republican ad- ministration were in power at Wash ington any democratic would hesitate to enlist or that q democratic administra- ton being there, any republican would hesitate to enlist? Why, the whole his .ory of the country gives an emphatic negative to that question. We are not democrats or republicans tonight. We are Americans.
 T was saying the other night that I knew of no case where one people made war upon another people. l know only of cases where one government made wars upon another government No. government can make war in the i United States. The people make war
 through their representatives. The i constitution of the United States does rot give the president even a partici- | pating part in the management of war.
 War can he declared only by congress,
 by an action which the president does
 not take part in, and cannot vote. l am literally, by constitutional arrange | ment, the mere servant of the peoples representatives.
 i But I know that a great pulse of 1 feeling underlies the thought of every
 one of you, as it underlies my thought. We teach our children the history of
 the United States and l suppose we do l incidentally point out to them the great material growth and the great physical power of this country. But ] that is not what we emphasize in our i history.
 We tell them the stories, how proud 1 ly we tell them the stories, of the men
 who have died for their country with

 PROFITABLE HERE RA|VCHERS PROTEST

The most interesting and well at tended meeting the State Poultry as sociation has held in some time was held last Saturday at the Chamber of Commerce Several new members were accepted and final arrangements made for publishing the year book. The program for the meetings to be held this year was announced. Following is the program for the meeting of February 12th: The Ply mouth Rocks" discussion led by Er- nest Hall and V. l.. Wildermuth, illus trated with live specimens; "Testng, Packing and Care of Eggs for Hatch ing" Mrs. G. w. Mears; Guaranteed Eggs Albert A. Connor; Successful Poultry" C. w. Alexander.
 The following resolution was intro duced and adopted:
 "Nhereas, the procuction of market eggs in the Salt River valley has be- 1 come unprofitable, because of the low price offered by dealers, and, Whereas, It is generally conceded | that cold storage eggs are being | shipped in and sold for fresh eggs in violation of Sec 4434 of the Civil Code Revised Statutes of Arizona, which reads as follows: Food or liquor shall 1 be deemed mislabeled or misbranded within the meaning of this chapter. If having no label, it is an imitation, CT an adulteration, or is sold or offered for sale, under a name, des- ignation, description, or misrepresenta- 1 ton, which is false or misleading, in ! aY.tia l.,,. 1 butter eggs and poultry, when offered
 or exposed for sale, if they have been kept or packed in cold storage, or oth-
 erwise preserved, unless they be so ! indicated by written or printed label or
 placard, plainly designating such fact
 and the date of the placing in cold 1 storage;' and,
 Whereas, The egg producers are being forced out of business, because
 of this unfair competition, and an oth-
 erwise profitable industry, which offers a livelihood to many of our citizens
 and an inducement to prospective set tiers, it is ruined;
 Be It Therefore Resolved that the
 Arizona State Poultry association at q special meeting held the 29th day of
 January do emphatically protest against this unjust discrimination, and respectfully request that all dealers
 henceforth comply with the require
 ments Of the law relating to the mis-
 branding of cold storage eggs, and they
 are further requested to cooperate with the egg producers in offering a
 premium on clean, sterile, graded eggs and to encourage the consumption of
 ranch eggs.
 Be It Further Resolved that copies
 of this resolution be furnished the press, and that so far as possible deal
 CTS be furnished copies and that it be
 published in the Year Book of the as
 sociation and spread upon the minute.

NEWPORT, Ark, Feb. 1.-With the Jacksonport levee out, this city today was experiencing it's second disastrous flood in the last six months.
 Water already is from two to six feet deep in the main business sec ton and the few people who remain in the city are making their jour neys in boats and rafts. The cur rent in the streets is from eight to ten miles per hour.
 There will be no shortage of food and little suffering, according to of ficials. The early flood warnings led residents to take every precaution against hunger and ..old.

RICH GOLD LEDGE
 FOUND AT OATMAV

The following article from the Oat man Miner gives an account of one of the richest gold strikes recorded in that section:
 Two miners have discovered a min ing claim high on the range above the Huyer property, in Secret Pass, from which they are now taking ore that runs above $1 ,O00 in gold to the ton. It is reported by men who have seen the ore that it shows free gold all through the rock.
 The men are guarding the ore with shotguns and are averse to allowing any one on the ground. They have a splendid vein of the ore, although the rich streak is rather small. The men have taken out quite a good sized shipment The ore is different from that found in the Ruffles and James properties.

tricable difficulties into which our international relations were drifting, I have said to myself, I. wonder if the people of the United States fully realize what that mandate means to me?
 And then sleep has come, because I have known, as l have known in my own mind and in my own heart, that there was not a community in America that would not stand behind me in maintaining the honor of the United States.
 But, my fellow citizens, You may be called upon any day to stand be- hind me to maintain the honor of the United States, and how are you going to do it? There are two ways of doing it. one is the careless, easy going, waSteful way in which we have done these things hitherto You say, There are plenty of fighting men Ill the United States; there are uneX- hausted and inexhaustible material resources in the United States; mo- body could do more than put us at q disadvantage for a little while
 
 men in the United States. but do they know how modern war is conducted? ! po they know how to guard themselves against diseases in the camp? Do they know what the discipline of or 2aniZation is? Shall we send the whole body of these men who first volunteer to be hutcnered because they did not know how to make themselves imme- dlatelv reaGy for the battlefield and the trench, because they did not know any thing about the terrible vicissitudes and diseiplines of modern battle?
 Why, war has been transformed all most within the memory of men. The mere mastering of volunteers is not war. Mere bodies of men are not an army, and We have neither the men nor the equipment for the men when they are called out. It would take time to make an army of them-perhaps a fatal | length of time-and it would take a l long time to provide them with the ab- solute necessities of warfare. America ! is not going to sacrifice her youth after l that fashion.
 America is going to prepare for war 1 by preparing citizens who know what war means, and how war can be con- l>ducted It is going to increase its 1 standing army up to the point of eftl- ciency for the present uses for which i it is needed; and it is going to put back i of that army a great body of peaceabe men, following their daily pursuits 1 knowing that their own happiness and
 the happiness of everybody they love | depends upon peace, who, nevertheless 1 at the call of their country, will know 1 hcw immediately to make themselves
 into an army and to come out and face an enemy in a fashion which will show that America can neither be daunteo
 Eor taken by surprise.
 T have heard some men say, my
 constituents do not object to the pro-
 gram of defense, but they do object to
 the bills that will have to be paid alter
 ward I would be very sorry to give
 that account of any constituents in thf
 United States l would be very sorrN i to believe-and l do not believe-tha'
 any constituency in the United States will be governed by considerations o that sort.
