COAST CITIES CAREFULLY
GUARDING ALL VESSELS
No Chances Taken With Possible
Teuton Plotters There

Ships arriving from the mainland
bring word Of conditions on the San
Francisco waterfront vastly different
from those prevailing in Honolulu and
merchant officers suppressed the great
est Advertisements that the naval pre-
cautions had not been duplicated here.
Reports from vessels agree. The en-
tire San Francisco waterfront is under
naval guard and semi-military law pre-
wallis, 1t being impossible to approach
the wharves OF the ships without writ
ten authority Of one sort or another.
Armed naval guards are stationed at
the entrance Of every wharf and at the
foot Of every gangplank and in some
cases, 1t is reported there were naval
guards on the vessels themselves.
That a great many precautions not
SO visible are being taken Is the belief
Of the arriving ships officers, This
condition was compared by them yes
terday with that existing in Honolulu
where there are no waterfront or
wharf guards, either military OF naval,
the only guards being stationed on the
German ships and the entire front be-
ing open. Most vessels are also entire
ly open TO visitors.
Additional San Francisco precautions
include the refusal Of clearance to any
vessel having German nationals among
their crews. There were Germans on
vessels arriving yesterday but all had
their first papers, y the government
recognising those, although they do not
eonfer citizenship.
a japanese vessel reports that she
had run for the entire voyage, With the
exception of one day with lights
screened OF out entirely, the orders hav-
ing been received from her government.
The last day out the wireless despatch
stating japan 3 denial of the existence
Of Submarines IN the Pacific was re-
ceived and the lights went on again.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mrs. w. S. Jennings, Pres
ident F. F. w. c., from Mrs. Josiah
Evans Cowles, President General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
June 10, 1917.
To the State President:
My dear Madam President: The en-
closed copy of letter from the Hon.
Newton d. Baker, secretary of war,
to the governors of the states is
called to your immediate and
thoughtful attention.
You are urged to confer with the
governor of your state concerning the
protection of our soldiers and sailors
from intoxicated liquors and camp
followers. Bring the power of the
clubs of your state to bear upon these
great evils. This is definite service
you are asked to render. Make it
your work at this time.
The entire general federation is
urged not to relax it's efforts until
national prohibition is enacted and
enforced and training camps and mil
itary posts are free from camp fol
The plan of the woman's commit
tee of the council of national defence
is almost duplicate of our own. 1t
is therefore easy for us to cooperate.
But we must in no sense submerge
our own organization.
AS was stated in our letter to you
of May IA, registration is the only
part of the general federation's plan
which has been given over to the
woman's committee of the council OF
national defense.
The pledge of economy and food
conservation which the general feder.
alton adopted April II, and which has
been signed by thousands of women
in all parts of the country has pre-.
pared us fer instant and hearty re.
sponse to the food conservation
pledge for women announced during
the present week by Mr.. H. C. Hoov.
er, who is authorized by President
Wilson as the governments represen.
tative in food conservation.
Continue to obtain signatures to
the general federation pledge. Heart.
lily encourage signing of the govern.
ment pledge July to 15 And let us
all abide religiously by the terms of
both the general federation pledge
and that now sent forth by the Uni.
ted State government.
Fraternally yours,
