LOCAL APPEAL IS
 MADE FOR AID
No Outside Aid Is Asked Nor Will Any Be Solicit ed Intention Being to Confine Fund Raising to the Affected District
rRcpubrcan A. p. Leased uireI

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 1.-Sheriff Ralph Conklin late this afternoon sent in
 structions to his deptles to investigate
 killing cattle driven into the hills on
 both sides of the san Luis Key river
 by the flood.
 At a brief meeting of the San Diego
 county supervisors the advisability of opening horse trails at places along
 county roads which automobiles and ether vehicles will not be able to use
 was discussed and it is probable that
 action toward this end will be taken at
 a meeting to be held tomorrow morn ing.
 As one result of the recent big floods an immense amount of money will be spent in San Diego county and thous-
 ands of dollars will be afforded em- ployment for some time to come Es- | inmates, based on preliminary reports of officials, indicate that at least sev- en and une half million dollars will Lt. spent in this county. Of this amount
 the city of San Diego will spend about one and one half millions; the railroads, including the Santa Fe. two millions; san Diego county, for roads. bridges, etc, two and one-half millions: farmers for rehabilating their farms. 500, 000. To this sum will be added fully one and one half million dollars
 by various industries. City and corn- ty officials are already discussing the work to be done and the methods to be employed.
 This afternoon the citizens relief
 committee. through Mayor F. NJ Capps. issued general appeal to the people of san Diego county to aid those rendered destitute by the storm. No outside
 aid is asked, nor will any be solicited.
 as it is the intention to confine all
 raising of funds to San Diego county.
 Thirty thousand dollars has thus far
 been contributed by the citizens of
 san Diego and the fund is rapidly climbing

President at Des Moines Deals With Futility of Messages and Protests to Meet Breaches of IntAr~ national Law
AGAINST PEACE AT
 EXPENSE OF HONOR
Declares United States Wants Peace But As serts That Self Respect of the Nation Must Also Be Preserved
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

DES MONIES, Feb I-Plesident Wilson, speaking here tonight dealt with the futility of messages and words of protests to meet breaches of inter- national law
 Do you want the situation to oe such
 that all the president can do is to write messages and utter words of protest?' he asked. in advocating preparedness tefo"e the largest audience of his pres ent trip.
 Why, to ask that question is to am swer t" he said. Whenever interna- tional law is violated by one or the ether belligerents." the president said. America was called upon to register 2 voice of protest, of insistence' DO you want the situation to be such that all the president can do is to write messages and utter words of protest ?'' he continued. If these breaches of in- ternational law which are in daily dan
 ger of occurring should touch the very
 honor oI the United States, do you wish t. do nothing about it? Do you wish to have all the world say that the flag of the United States can be stained
 with impunity?
 ' T -noW there is not q man or woman within the hearing of my voice who 1 would wish peace at the expense of the honor of the United States"
 The presidents address was punctu- ated with thunderous applause. He spoke slowly and gravely, with en-
 phatiC gestures to enforce his words. His declaration that the United States wanted peace drew a quick re- snonse and his assertion that the self
 respect of the nation must be preserved.
 e.icited another great demonstration
 The president declared he was trying
 to weigh carefully every word he said. He reiterated that he had been daily
 charged to keep the country out of war
 and also to uphold its honor.
 And many a night when fl has
 seemed impossible for me to sleep he said, because of the apparently inex- tricahle difficulties into which our in ternational relations were drifting. I
 nave sand to myself, I wonder if the l eOplc of the United States fully know what that mandate means to me And then sleep has cOme because l knew that there was not a community in America that would not stand behind me ill maintaining the honor of the United States.
 The difficulty of keeping America 3t peace during this titanic struggle across the sea cannot be disclosed now i; perhaps it never can be disclosed. How anxious and how difficult this task has heen But my heart has been in il. 1 have not srudged a single burden that not only my own heart but the heart of dii America was in the cause of peace There are actually men in America who are preaching war" the president declared men who want the United States 10 have entangling alliances abroad He said he did not thing they

WASHINGTON, Feb. Until it is decided whether the German com mander aboard the British steamer Appam brought the ship to an Ameri- can port as prize of war or as a converted auxiliary cruiser of the German navy, there will be no deter mination of the American govern ment's course respecting the ship.
 When certain formalties have been compiled with. the ships passengers including several British colonial of ficials, will be released and their dis position passed on by immigration au- thorities Any prisoners of war will be released, because Dlternatinal law permits no holding of war prisoners in a neutral country.
 The United States then will have to deal with the German crew, and if they are accounted in the naval ser vice of Germany, as were the crews of the Prinz Eitel Friederich and the kron Firing Wilhelm, already in termed at the Norfolk navy yard. they, too, will be interned, unless their ship goes to sea to run the cordon of British cruisers outside.
 As to the disposition of the Ap- pam herself, if she is ~held to be an auxiliary cruiser, her commander will

have the option of putting to sea after a certain time to make repairs and take provisions. If she k de- clared prize the situation becomes more complex. and in that event it is admitted that the United States will have to deal with probably the most novel question concerning its neu- trality that has arisen during the war.
 As one of he first steps, the prob lem probably would be referred to the neutrality board, which is an un- official body whose function is merely advisory.
 It was pointed out at the state de- partment that there is much confusion in the treaties and provisions of in ternational law on the subject of prizes. the right to convert captured vessels into auxiliary warships and the right of reclamation by the orig inal owners Of captured vessels.
 one theory largely held is that title to the captured vessel does not pa ss until prize court has acted. An other opinion strongly championed is that title passes immediately after the capture is made. providing the senior officer of the captors duly commis sions one of his own officers or crew as the commander of the captured

cal of the reports, however. although, lit was recalled that the flow of American made munitions to the al ] lied powers probably would begin to reach it's full proportions within the next few months, inviting unusual ef- forts by the Teutonic naval forces. The main reliance of submarine is her torpedoes and no submersible can carry more than half dozen To re-supply them in the United States would be practically impos s : ble without the effort being detected, officers said, leaving the raider sub marine with only her small disap- bearing gun for armament.
 Naval officers generally agreed that to accomplish any continued effective work il would be necessary for sub marine to have a base of supplies somewhere in the western Atlantic 1 There was always the possibility. it
 was pointed out, of some audacious commander establishing such a base on the uninhabited keys of the Rri- tish Bahama islands, or submarine might be supplied by neutral mer- chantment sailing from American
 ports. This latter possibility, involv- ing a breach of American neutrality, probably will receive the attention of the secret service agencies of the government.
 There has been many II n11rs of submarine bases established on the American or Cana6ian coasts. but nothing definite ever developed h. vestigations by the navy radio service as to possible secret radio plants CO., operating with the | boats revealed no irregularities.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1


 YUMA, Arizona, Feb. 1.-Rapfd fall of the flood waters of the Colorado and Gila rivers today dispelIed the apprehension of residents of Yuma and vicinity and it generally is be- leved that the period of danger is passed. Business houses, which closed temporarily because of flooded streets, reopened today and both the national banks returned to their old quarters, which were abandoned sev- eral days ago as q precaution against the menace of rising waters
 The fact that a recent ordinance adopted by the city council, which prohibits the occupation of adobe houses or shacks- in the business dis trict. was taken today to indicate that the portion of Yuma which was destroyed by the disastrous flood of ten days ago would he rebuilt along lines of modern architecture. Efforts of groups of citizens to cause the removal of the entire city to the high mesa land near the pres ent site are said to have failed to gain much headway and property owners generally have announced that . they would rebuild on the recently inundated section.
 The recent high water, it was re- ported today, did not damage Yuma dam or the siphon canal which crosses the Colorado river here, and it is estimated that all> damage done to irrigation canals can be repaired within three weeks.
 Telephone reports from the Inn- perial Valley late today stated that no damage had been done in that section

Eifty-foUr persons killed and sixty seven persons injured is the result of the raid of German airships over Nor folk, Suffolk, DerDyshire, Leicester shire, Staffordshire and Lincolshire. Monday night, according to official re- bort Of he British government In ali. twertytwo bombs were dropped from the aircraft, and considerable damage vas done. N. Belline reports that all the airships returned safely to their base and as selts that at Liverpool. Birkenhead and Manchester, and along the Humber docks, blast furnaces and factories were attacked, heavy explosions and serious fires resulting. On the Humber q battery was silenced.
 Except for a German infantry at tack northeast of Arras, which was checked by a fusillade of hand gren~ aces thrown by the French. artillery duels and bombardments have predomi- rated on the western front
 A single infantry attack near Monte Rombon, where the Italians repulsed the Austrians is the most important operation, aside from the usual artil- lery actions reported from the Austro- Italian front
 From Riga to the Stripa river there have been several infantry engage ments in which the Austro- Germans were worsted by the Russians, accord ing to Petrograd, but the fighting on this front also had been mostly by the big guns.
 In the Caucasus around Lake Forum ana khrTskala the Russians are de- ofarcd to be still pursuing the Turks
 Reports received in London announce that satisfactory progress is being made by the British and French forces operating against the Germans in East and West Equatorial Africa.
