The first number of the Mirror, a
publication of the High

Der to appear this year.
The Mirror is written solely by High
School pupils and covers only events
and discussions of High School life.
The neat appearance and good style

The Maurer Sisters-The Maurer
Sisters Orchestra is about to enter
it's tenth year on the Lyceum and
Chautauqua platforms. This organi-
zation had years experience before
coming to Redpath Bureau, beginning
to play in public very young in years
and making good from the very start.
In fact, the Redpath Bureau has never
had company of young women of
whom it has felt prouder and received
better reports than the Maurer Sis
ters. The first 2 years they were with
the Bureau they were known as the
Orchestral Entertainers. For versa
tility On musical instruments the par
allel of the Maurer Sisters is seldom
found. In this respect they fill an
important place in the Lyceum, for
there is much demand for just such
a combination. The only reason that
there are comparatively few such
companies is because versatility in
music is so apt to be accompanied by
medocrity. Some of the features Of
the Maurer Sisters program are COR
net solos with orchestral accompani-
ment, flute solos with piano accom-
paniment, violin solos with piano &c
compartment, whistling solos, cello
solos, violin and flute duet, humorous
readings, orchestral numbers with
piano, violin, flute and cornet; en-
semble vocal numbers rendered in
conjunction with orchestral music.
That such companies as the Maurer
Sisters are in lyceum work is only a
tribute to the quality that Redpath
steadily maintains. Charming per-
sonalities, tasteful gowns, a program
of commendable content, and well di-
versified talent hel p to make this
quartet splendid lyceum attraction.

FLEET READY FOR PACIFIC
ACTION, SAYS BLUE

Washington, Feb. 9-How only 83t
men have been brought into the ma
val reserve by laws designed to fos-
ter such force was told to the House
naval committee today by Rear Ad-
mir;il Victor Blue.
Secretary Daniels, he said, has pro-
posed amendments which it was
hoped would build up the force.
While the naval reserve law has
been disappointing in producing num-
bers, Admiral Blue said, it had brought
a greater percentage of re-enlistments,
giving the navy large proportion of
trained men on its ships.
Representative Britten asked if the
navy had not failed to conduct war
mobilization recently because of lack
of men to handle all the ships. Ad-
miral Blue replied that no navy was
kept filled to its war footing.
"How much time would we be
likely to have to mobilize if we were
attacked?" asked Mr.. Britten.
"That would be an important thing
to know" said the admiral.
"Do you know" asked Mr.. Britten,
"if anybody has successfully contra
dicted Rear Admiral Fiske's testimony
last year that it would take 5 years
to get the navy ready to meet an eff
ficient enemy?"
Admiral Blue replied that "the fleet
could undertake anything in the Pa
cific as soon as it could get there >
"The navy is prepared to meet any
enemy it could possibly meet in the
Pacific" said the admiral, Eat the
present time"
Asked for his opinion as to Admiral
Fiske's qualifications, Admiral Blue
said:
"Admiral Fiske is very highly
thought of in the navy as an inven-
tor" He refused to 90 further.

of getting his huge dreadnaughts in
position to attack an enemy without
their being seen by the enemy.
The new speed demons of the navy

Diplomatic Protest
Ends Controversy
By ellison Gardner

Washington, FEB. "a diplomatic
protest will complete the opposition
by the United States to Great Brit
aims interference with neutral trade.
Armed opposition is out of the ques-
ton. An embargo on exports is the
only retaliation which would impress
the English and that would hurt this
country as much as England. Any in
reference with the export of war mu-
nations, cotton, grain and foodstuffs
would knock the bottom from Ameri-
can prosperity. Freedom of the seas
is only a phrase. There is no such
thing in time of peace while nations
have tariffs and shipping laws; and
in time of war there is just as much
freedom for combatant or non combat
ant as either has the military strength
to maintain.
The effort of an embargo need not
be guessed at. In 1907 President JEFF
ferson recommended and Congress i'm
posed an embargo in retaliation for
orders in council and the British block
ade of Napoleon. The historian Adams
describes the result:
Gas the order was carried along
the seacoast, every artisan dropped
his tools, every merchant closed his
doors, every ship was dismantled.
American wheat, timber,
cotton, tobacco, rice-dropped in value
and become unstable; every imported
article rose in price; wages stopped;
swarms of debtors became bankrupt;
thousands of sailors hung idle round
the wharves trying to find employ
ment on coasters, and escape to the
West Indies or Nova Scotia. A reign
of idleness began and the men who
were not already ruined fgelt that
their ruin was only matter of time"
Prosperity is with us now because
we can export the surplus products
produced by our busy farms, mills and
Ifactories-that surplus which the wa
ges of our own people is not suffi-
icient to allow them to consume. A
'stoppage of export trade would mean
calamity, unless we entirely changed
our system of production and distdibu-
tion-a thing which could not be done
in hurry.

KITCHENER TO TAKE
COMMAND IN EGYPT,
LONDON PAPER SAYS

London, Feb. 9.-The Weekly World
says it hears that Field Marshal Lord
Kitchener is likely to take over COM
mand of the British forces in Egypt,
and that the Earl of Derby, the di-
rector Of recruiting, will be the new
secretary of state for war with a seat
in the cabinet.
The World gives no authority for
the report, but says it is gossip in
line with recent intimations that Earl
Kitchener might withdraw from the
war ministry to assume more active
duties.
Lord Derby has just returned to
London from a visit to the British
forces operating in Flanders.

question is whether the district will
have good management and practice
economy, and it is this question that
comes home to the public.
The cooperation which is being ex-
tended to the district by all the mu-
tual water companies is matter of
satisfaction to the district officials and
to all persons watching water af-
fairs. For the first time there is
complete cooperation of almost all
people on working out the common
interests of the valley in water mat

CALIPATRiA CLAIMS
LIVESTOCK LEAD

Victor E. Sterling, cashier of the
American State Bank of Calipatria,
is responsible for the statement that
next year Calipatria will feed and
ship more cattle than any other point
in the Imperial Valley, and gives as
his reason the present great number
of cattle around that point, together
with the large amount of good feed
ing ground which they now have, to-
gether with the 5000 acres of barley
being put in by Lee Little, of which
5000 acres are now growing, and
other smaller additional Ipieces of
acreage on which alfalfa will be plant
ed.
In this connection one must not for
the large amount of feed for cattle
that will result from the cottonseed
and meal produced from the 10000
acres of long staple cotton that the
Balfour-Guthrie people are planting,
as well as fully 5000 additional acres
that will be put in at this point. Out
of the great number of men who are
employed in looking after the cattle
and preparing the land for the plant
ing of this large acreage of cotton,
it is expected that many will become
permanent residents of this North
End town as a number of them are
preparing to take advantage of the
big auction sale of town lots and
small acreage to be held at Calpatria
on Saturday, February IL.
