Plan for Long War.

London, Feb. 3.-Accordlng TO Der
lin newspapers, as quoted by Reuter- $
Amsterdam correspondent, "A new or
der was put in force February l, un-
der which the greater part OF all
products of the textile industry was
confiscated.
The Tageblatt says it is highly sig
nificant that on this occasion the gov
ernment does not seize raw material,
but finished articles.
Included in the list are all mate
rials for clothing suitable for army
and navy officials, all good for I'M
dergarments. blankets, inclusive OF
horse cloths. colored linen goods,
Innings and sail cloths.
Berlin newspapers point out that
this measure discloses a scarcity OF
these materials and also indicates that
Germany is preparing for war of
long duration.

Homes for Immigrants.

New York, Feb. 3.-Theodore
Roosevelt, "Diamord jim" Brady, Mrs.
John Astor, Morris Knowles of the
Steel Corporation, Miss Ida Tarbell
and Grant La Fargo were among the
guests at luncheon at the home of
Mr.. and RMS. Vincent Astor, where
the problem of housing the immigrant
was discussed. This is the second of
the series of "welfare luncheons" to
be held at the Astor home.
The special purpose of the lunch
con was ii launch the national hous-
ing movement, which is the first piece
of work under the Roosevelt America
First Fund.
A sum of money, said to be con-
tributed by one of the guests at the
luncheon, has been set apart to be
given in prizes for the best plans for
immigrants homes, and guesses as
to the identity of the donor ran all
the way from Diamond Jim" Brady
to the colonel himself.
Colonel Roosevelt, after being in
troduced, launched into a discussion
Of immigrants homes he had seer
in various parts of the country, with
a wealth of detail which made his
hearers wonder when Mr.. Roosevelt
found time to specialize in architec-
ture for the workingman.
The colonel paid several compli-
ments to Germany, first making it
clear that his admiration wouldn't
hinder him from keeping his powder
dry.

The Juniors defeated the Freshmen
in the first interclass basketball game

LABOR TO
REPAIR OTAY FLOOD DAMAGE

, San Diego, Feb. 3.-Several hun
dred men were put to wolk today in
many parts of the county as the first
definite step of a plan by city and
county authorities to restore the
roads, bridges and water pipelines
which were destroyed or badly dang
aged in the floods Of last week. 1t
lis estimated that in another week
more than 1000 persons will have
been given employment of some kind.
Continued clear weather has aided
/ the work of restoration to a great eX
tent.
Roads which days ago were prac-
tically impossible are now in fairly
good shape and the task of reaching
the more remote POINTS and carrying
on relief work has been expedited.
Generous contributions of money,
clothing and provisions continue to
pour into headquarters at the Cham
ber of Commerce.
The list of identified dead was in
creased to IL last night, when the
body of Tom Guhoy, Chinese,
drowned in Mission Valley, was
claimed by relatives, and the body Of
Ramon Rojas, Mexican, a victim of
the Tia Juana valley flood, was recov-
cred.
Water from the Cuyamaca reser-
voir, owned by a private company,
was to have been turned into the city
mains this morning, but controversy
has developed between city officials
and the owners over the price to be
paid and it is now doubted if any
new proposition by the company will
be accepted.
The city has plenty of water on
hand for immediate needs, or until
the pumping plant in Mission valley
is placed in commission. 1t is the
intention of Read Admiral Fullam to
maintain naval patrols in the Otay
and Tia Juana valley until the situa-
tion in other parts of the county is
so composed that civil authorities can
take entire charge. Order is being
rigidly enforced in the stricken dis
tricts near the border an da number
of storekeepers who are alleged to
have taken advantage of the situation
to mark up prices have been warned
to lower them or suffer confiscation
of their goods.

Champions Of Boston Inter-
scholastic League to Meet
High School Teams.
SERIES OPENS MONDAY
By ARTHUR $. wRENN.

For the first time In the history Of the
IntsrschoIastic Basketball League In
this city. a trio Of teams OF the local
league will battle another champion Of
the same grading as themselves. The
Wellesley High School team. champions
OF the Boston Interscholastic League, are
here for a three-game series with the
three leaders Of the local league and
from the present outlook each year will
see one OF these International series.
Congressman William II. Carter, OF the
Thirteenth Massachusetts, district. Is the
one person responsible for this series, as
Il was his regard for this scholastic sport
which brought the series to its present
form. This hitch which Congressman
Carter filed 50 appropriately was as
usual the money end OF the game, and
but for him bearing the responsibility Of
any deficit, the Wellesley team would
still be IN BoGon instead OF viewing the
sights Of this city.
At a meeting held yesterday between
Dr. William B. Hudson. president Of the
local circuit. and Mr.. Jack Connolly, who
Is handling the interests Of Congressman
Carter, the fnal arrangements were
made and the contests booked.
On Monday night the Army and Navy
Props will be the opponents OF the Mas
sachusetts quint and considering the bat
tie which this team gave to the Western
team on Friday. the Wellesley team is
apt to meet q setback on the initial night.
wuesday night will see the Western
team, champions Of Washington schools,
and the Boston champs locking horns and
n the Props fail to take the measure Of
the visiting team Il Is an assured fact
that Western will put on the finishing
touches The Business team under the
leadership Of Carl Glessner will try its
luck on the last night and just what It
will do Is problematical, as the team of
late has not come up to expectations.
The series will be opened on Monday
night by State Treasurer Of Massachu-
sets Charles L Burrfll, who has made
the trip with the team, while Senator
Weeks, OF Massachusetts will toss up
the ball In the Western-Wellesley game
on Tuesday night Congressman Carter

ITHACA ALMOST SURE OF RACE

ards of the intercollegiate Rowing AS
ISOLATION, that Lake Cayuga will be the
scene this year of the annual Poughkeep-
sic regatta, and that the races will be
rowed on June "a
1t has been suggested that the race be
rowed up stream on the Hudson in the
week OF June 10 and that the finish be
at point off the Columbia boathouse,
at the one-mile mark in the present re-
gstta course II that is done, the race
would have to be cut down to three and
a half miles, but, inasmuch as the stew
ards have decided on a three and a quar-
ter-mile course, II the race is rowed at
Ithaca, that objection has little weight
