desert after his aeroplane broke

the Yuma, Ariz., hospital to re-
cover from the effects of his ex-
perience.
"A drop of dew on a leaf look
ed bigger to me than a twenty
dollar goldpiece ever WILL" said
Colonel Bishop, describing his
emotions after Lieutenant Robert
son, his companion, had gone
ahead for help.

There were twenty-siX small

were under ten years of age.
Some who escaped were thrown
from third story windows by fren-
zied parents.
Thrilling rescues were made by
volunteer rescuerS. Clement 8.

Paralyzed with fear and SILVER
ing from cold, she gathered her

arms and the rest clinging to her
skirts, she fought her way through
the smoke and fumes to q point
where she could drop them to the
ground.
John. six years old, was lost in
the darkness, and policemen had
to forcibly restrain the frantic
mother from rushing to certain
death in search of him.

acted as clerk in the light and
water department under Commits
sioner Drake, is eligible for a posi-
ton as clerk of the police depart
ment, at salary of 500 a month,

was ineligible.
Harmon ruled Friday that Bur-

service examination for chief
clerkship, was not eligible for the
minor job as city hall clerk and
that an eligible from the civil
service lists would have to be Sc
lected.
If Jameson is offered the job

HOLLAND
in WORST
POSITION

NUnted Press Leased Wtre.t
LONDON, Feb. 1.-The neu-
trail nations of Europe are await
ing Americas decision as to Ger
many's new war on the seas with
anxiety.
Dispatches today from the CAPT
tails of Holland, Spain and the
Scandinavian countries limited that
efforts would be made in each to
delay any action until that de-
termined upon by the United
States is announced.
Holland is perhaps hardest
struck of all the European neu-
trails. Dispatches from across the
channel today gave a graphic pic
ture of the seriousness with which
the Dutch regarded the German
orders, a seriousness which was
deepened by knowledge that
among the first ships to fall VIC
tim to the new sea ruthlessness
was a Dutch freighter.
1t was pointed out today that
II by any chance Germany should
attempt violation of Dutch terri
tory, the winter season, when the
dykes and canals are frozen and
passably by foot is most favorable
for such step.
Messages today from Amster-
dam and The Hague indicate fear
that The Netherlands is doomed
to be crushed between German
land and undersea forces. An
actual blockade, correspondents
declare, means starvation.
Present supplies of foodstuffs in
Holland may last a month or two
months, according to varying es-
Inmates.
The concentration of troops on
the German-Dutch frontier is the
cause of constant speculation and
today it was felt such action,
which has been in progress for
the past few weeks, was taken in
advance of the new sea step.
The London Times correspond
ent in Holland today declared:
while the Dutch, predomiuate-
ly cautious, feel disposition to
stand or fall by their rights, their
eyes are turned anxiously toward
the United States-the greatest
neutral-to see whether she will
abandon her little sisters to their
fate"
Dispatches from Amsterdam
quoted the newspaper TELEGRAPH as
asking, whether America will
withdraw her protecting hand
over neutrals and non-combat-
ants"
The Amsterdam Handelsblad
declares:
IF America holds to the spirit
OF the notes and ultimatums she
has sent to Germany, she must de-
clare war"
Switzerland faces a situation
similar to Holland. The blockade
cuts off all French ports except
Cette, and that means cutting off
OF essential foodstuffs and raw
materials.
Even Spain-America's enemy
of the days of '9S-awaits Amer
ica's determination.
On the other hand, the British
press tone today continued tenn
perate with reference to the Unit
ed States action on the German
note, the editorials generally leav-
ing 1t up to America to decide her
own course.
Some newspapers renewed the
suggestion that participation in the
war with the allies might possibly
react against the entente in the
end, the Daily Mail Observing that
lit might be a positive disadvant-
age to be thus hampered in peace
negotiations by the influence of
COMMUNICATIONS"

John Van Dell, the logger who
shot and killed Il. w. Olson,

H. e. Norwood, manager of a
Tacoma private detective agency,
