WOULD Dash TO SEA.
German Ships in Lower California
Ready to Leave When War is De.
clared.

Reports of preparations for dash
to sea by eleven war bound German
hips. at Santa Rosalia, Lower CAR
iornia. in the event of war between
Germany and the United States, have
been received at the State and Navy
departments and by the French and
British embassies.
The interest of the United States
in such dash is, at present, purely
passive as the ships are not in m
American port, and this government
has no jurisdiction over them.
The allied governments undoubtedly
llool, to the Mexican government tc
prevent the German ships taking tt
sea as commerce raiders.
Japanese warships which have beer
conducting practically all operations
in the northern Pacific for the allies
probably would be called on to looF
after them.
Sailors from the ships, who hat
been in Nogales, Ariz., to seek EN-
ployment returned to Santa RosaE;
when the news of the break witt
Germany was made public. One
stated that he had been called bach
lbv his captain. Mining men IRON
| Santa Rosalia state that although
the German captains assert they ar
merely preparing their ships for ser
vice after the war, it is evident tina
they are being made ready for sea.

RELIEF SHIPSTOBESUNk
Safe Conducts Do Not Matter, Says
German Official Bureau.

Berlin, March 19.-"Britlsh news
dispatches state that the Norwegian
steamer Storstad, sunk. by German
submarine, was in the service OF the
Belgian relief commission, and was
provided with a safe conduct from the
German consul at Buenos AIRES,
saws the Overseas News Agency (the
official German news bureau.
at is ascertained that the Storstad
WAS sunk within the barred zone,
and therefore it matters not whether
she was provided with safe con-
duct and carried the signs of the re-
lief commission. All ships, including
those with such signs, are obliged to
avoid the barred zone; otherwise they
run the risk of being sunk. The rellef
commission was warned officially by
the German authorities February |,
AGAINST permitting their ships to go
INTO the barred zone. The sinking OF
thc vessel. therefore, was the cap
tain's fault.
The storstad, flying the flag OF
the American commission for rellef
in Belgium, and carrying a cargo OF
maize for Belgium, was torpedoet'
without warning off the southern end
Of Ireland. One members of her crew
lost his life. The others, including
one American, were rescued.

The protection of our homes and of our state

The protection Of our homes and of our state
is matter of tremendous Importance.
It is a duty which none of us can shirk. II
our city or its industries in the past had been
threatened by hostile men or enemy sympathiz-
ers, almost every one of us would long ago have
seen the paramount Importance OF body OF
trained men within our own confines.
But the fact that we have been spared such a
manifestation of hostility does not prove that the
danger does not exist and that it may no be a
menace any day.
Let us not permit ourselves to be lulled into
the sheep of false security. We are dealing with
willy and tricky foe who has not stopped short
Of butchering children, women and old men IN
France and Belgium. Our enemy has blown up
munition plants and bridges in this country His
accredited ambassador to this country used the
prerogatves of his position to foment trouble and
to hire agents to ncite to treason arson and law
lessness. We may expect the Kaiser's agents IN
Indiana and elsewhere to stoop to the lowest VEN
atty to hinder the great work of preparation tor
war in which we are now engaged.
Against this foe. we must muster our full
strength, consisting not only OF the soldiers we
send abroad and the munitions we make in our
factories, but also of the strength Of every
ablebodied man we have at home.
If our women are conserving food and work.
ing for the Red Cross it is the solemn duty of the
men in this hour of peril, to acquire the military
knowledge that will enable them to become real
defenders of their home real foils to the thrusts
of the Kaisers agents, real fighters for the home
and fireside.
The Home Guard has been organized for this
very purpose. It's motive is highly patriotic
One It's purpose strikes home in every family.
It's call to service is imperative and insistent. No
one dare overlook it. 1t summons every man to
duty.
