On things he seeks to know the why of

The Appam was captured by Ger

fore had sunk British steamer.
She had previously sunk 6 other ves-
sells.
The names of the steamers sunk
by the raider which captured the APP
pam are given as the Trader, Arthur,
Corbridge, Ariabena, Brommondy,

All the Valley To Aid
In Restoring Highway

ative in getting the people Of the
valley engaged in the work of OPEN
ing the highway between the valley
and San Diego.
1t will be recalled that few years
ago the people of San Diego county
built their portion of the highway by
taxation, and then expended large
sum raised by personal contributions
to build to the foot of the mountains
in this county.
Now San Diego has had a tremen-
dous burden thrust upon her by the
great flood, and has her hands more
than full. 1t is therefore considered
fine piece of reciprocity for the
people of the valley to take on them
selves the task Of reopening the road,
and there probably could be nothing
else done that would be more appreci-
ated at this time or which would bring
greater benefit for the valley.
1t is to be hoped the whole people
will rally behind the city Chamber of
Commerce and make it possible to
carry out this fine project.

Presents Resolution Offering
To Buy Lower California

Carranza's government was not based
on the assumption that he had al
ready sufficient power to establish
a permanent government Immediately,
but on the assumption that he was in
position to do so within a reaosn-
able length Of time and with the full
knowledge that revolutions still ex-
listed and that Villa and Zapata were
still political factors and that the
lives and property of American citi-
zenG in and on the border of Mexico
might still be sacrificed, and
"Whereas, the president has let it
be known that he is positively against
intervention, and las committed this
country to an un-American policy Of
watchful waiting, compromising and
humiliating, through which must be
sacrificed more American lives and
property because of Carranza's sym
pathy with the lawless brigands of
Mexico or his incapability under the
VI bIHlSluS dDOuC SVcI
semblance of law and order, and
"Whereas, it has this day become
known in Washington that New York
bankers will furnish no funds to Car
ranza's de facto government in Mex
leo with which he might reconstruct
the national railways and establish
a large police constabulary which
could stamp out crime and bring rea-
sonable protection to the inhabitants
of his heartbroken country, and
"Whereas, our government cannot
longer fail to observe that moral sup
port, while beautiful in sentiment, is
not assisting the Carranza govern
ment in paying its bills and that the
financial aid Of the United States
must be the final solution to the
problem of blood and destruction in
Mexico; therefore, be it

amounts.

UNITED STATES LEADER
IN WORLD COMMERCE

Los Angeles, Feb. 2.-''The United
States is on the threshold of wonder
full prosperity and commercial devel-
opment.
"Our banks are flooded with money
Investments are being made with
great freedom and new avenues of
commerce are daily being opened up
into which the nation can pour it's en-
ergy and ability and raise itself to
commercial supremacy of the world.
"On November 10 there was a sur
plus in our national bank system of
more than $89O,O00,000. In addition
to this we have our federal reserve
banks to help and stimulate our busi-
ness.
"The big finan,iers and men Of af-
fairs in the United States have re-
discovered California and the Pacific
coast. The two fairs, together with
the conditions in Europe which kept
our wealthy men at home and sent
them to your Golden state, have
opened the country's eyes to the Won
derful resources and advantages to be
found on the Pacific coast.
"The big interests in America are
beginning to wake up to the fact that
here is an opportunity for wonderful
development, and a gateway for
Americas trade with the Orient and
the South American countries"
These are some of the optimistic
assertions and prophesies made to-
day by G. M. Reynolds, president of
the Continental Commercial and Ma
tional Bank of Chicago, and its af-
filiated banks, upon his arrival in Los
Angeles. Mr.. Reynolds is at the Alex
andria.
"The financiers and business men of
this country have the ability, the cap
ital and the energy to build up new
avenues of trade, new sources of bus
mess and new markets with the for
eign countries. From my personal OBJ
servation, and from the confidence |
have in our big men, freely predict
that the United States is on the
threshold of a wonderful prosperity"
Efficiency, Mr.. Reynolds declared,
has been the specification of American
business men, and efficiency it will be
that will show them the proper way
to deal with the foreign markets. Va
rious conditions in various countries,
Mr.. Reynolds pointed out, demand va
rious treatment and impose various
conditions, and these the American
business men will have to study.
With our foreign trade developed
and increased, our commercial re.
sources modified and our large sup.
ply of surplus funds available, tn,
change of conditions TO be brought
about by the ending of the war will b,
easily met and adjusted, Mr.. Reynold.

BITTER MARKET UP
BECAUSE OF FLOOD

The butter market has taken a sud-
den jump to 33 cents. This is not an
unusual figure for this time of year,
but it is the highest point touched
for many months That the sudden
rise-is- due to- the Tong period of storm
and flood is probable, and this does
not make it look like permanent ad-
vance.
Yet the damage has been done, and
especially the loss of hundreds of
head of dairy cows will operate to the
advantage of the butter market for
some time.
