SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 21.-The
flutry caused by the report that sub
marine, seemingly headed north, had
been seen off Point Iona by outlooks
at Fort Rosecrans, has died out fol-
lowing the unofficial statement from
the officers sent out In aeroplanes by
the authorities at North Island. where
Uncle Sam has his biggest aviation
station, to the effect that the suppos-
ed submarine probably was q whale.
The air scouts flying from the avia-
ton station searched the waters off
shore for miles and reported seeing
nothing that even family resembled
a German diver, unless It might have
been q few whales, sporting of the
beach. The officers on their return
declined to give out any statement
until their official report had been
filed, but unefficially declared that
there is nothing IN the story that q
submarine had been, seen off the

RUSH WORK ON DESTR0YERS
NAVAL PREPARATIONS FOR WAR
ACTIVELY INCREASED.
Date of Opening Bids for New Destroy
ers Is Advanced by Secretary Dam
ieIs-200 Wanted at Once.

Washington, March %. - Naval
preparations for war are marked by
increased activity. The navy's task
is simple. It's problems are those of
material rather than personnel. At
most little more than 100000 men
would be required to man every avail
able ship or scouting craft. They
could be obtained almost over night
by mobilization of the naval militia
and the various sections of the naval
reserves, supplemented with vo1un-
teers. Only highly trained officers
would be lacking.
The army's problem is just the re-
verse. It is men that will be need
ed and no definite step toward secur-
ing a great force for training can be
taken until Congress expresses it's
will. Full equipment can be obtained
long before the men are ready to
use it.
The department has no present in
tention of taking over merchant craft
for naval use, Secretary Daniels said.
All American merchant ships, how
ever, have been surveyed and CLASH
fled for possible use in time of war
as auxiliary cruisers, GOLFERS, supply
ships or transports.

MED|ATORS SUCCESSFUL:
RAIL STRIKE AVERTED
Railway Managers concede Eight
Hour Day as War Cloud Looms
and Controversy Is Settled.

New York, March 20.-The general
strike of the four railroad trainmen's
brotherhoods has been called off.
The announcement was made after
the mediation committee from the Ma
tional Council of Defense had been in
conference virtually all day with rep
resentatives of the railroad managers
and employees. &
The conference committee of rail-
road managers authorized President
Wilson's mediators to make whatever
arrangements were necessary with the
railroad brotherhoods to call off the
threatened strike.
The decision reached by the mana
gers at their conference means that
the brotherhOods have won an import
ant victory, although it does not bring
them all their original demands. By
the agreement it is assumed they will
be awarded pro-rata time for overtime
on the. basic eight-hour day which
they have been assured.

ADAMS0N RAIL ACT IS
HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
Eight-Hour Railroad Law Held Valid
in All Respects by U. S. Su-
preme Court.

Washington, March 20.-The Adam
son eight-hour railroad law has been
held constitutional and valid in all re-
spects by the supreme court.
The decision makes eight hours the
standard of a days work and wages
for men in operation of trains and
legalizes the wage increases which
went into tentative effect on it's pas
sage.
Besides declaring the Adamson law
constitutional, the highest tribunal
held congress has a right to legislate
on wages.
The courts decision was 5 to 4, with
Justices William R. Day, Mahlon Pit
ney and Willis Van Deventer dissent
ing from the bench and Justice J..
G. McReynolds later announcing his
inconvenience.
The immediate temporary wage in
creases won by the railroad employees
affect 100000 trainmen as of Jan. and
are estimated to total between $40 ,000,-
900 and $50,000,000.

PAYS FOR 160
:: !. ACRES or LAND
From the Crop Of Wheat on So
Acres in Western Canada.

This story Of paying for your LAND
out of one years crop is fully anthem
ticated by great many farmers in
Western Canada.
And now, all that the farmer makes
Is velvet and you find him going more
extensively into stock raising, for all
authorities agree that in short time
there will be demand for live stock,
such as even will tax the vast re-
sources Of Western Canada. They
will go into stock raising because of
the adaptability of the country to pro-
vide food and fodder without feeding
grain if necessary. They will 60 into
stock and improve their places. They
will install steam and heating plants
will have automobiles, in fact in many
districts there is not farmer but has
one. They will beautify their homes
and erect fine barns until the whole
country will be as attractive as many
Of the counties in the best states in
the Union. But we started out to tell
you Of the farmer who paid for 100
acres Of land from the crop Of wheat
off Of So acres. The Holden district
on the line Of the Grand Trunk Pacific
does not appear to the ordinary OBJ
server to be any better than many
other districts along that line, and
probably isn't. It was in this district
that John Larcome, settler, pur-
chased in 1915 100 acres Of raw prai-
RE land. He broke and seeded So
acres. His crop turned out well, and
he sold the greater portion Of it for
$2.970. His land cost him $16.50 per
acre, or $3.50. So that the crop from
the So acres paid for the land and left
balance Of over $500, which with
part Of the crop left over would just
pay for the cost Of operation. This
is not really an unusual case, hundreds
Of other farmers in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan having been able to do the
same.
Sales Of land are being reported
from many districts in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta at good prices.
And values are yet low, but with the
flow of any value that will take place
after the war, no doubt they will be,
considerably increased. The home
steads in the Park sections which are
to be had actually free are having
the attention Of good class Of set
tiers, who want to 60 into mixed farm.

EXTRA SESSION Of,
CONGRESS APRIL 2
PRESIDENT ADVANCES DATE OF
CONVEYING TWO WEEKS.
MAY DECLARE STATE OF WAR
Recognizes That Germany Is Virtually
Making War on U. S. and Sum-
mons Solons to Deal With
Situation.

Washington, March 22.-President
Wilson, recognizing that Germany
practically is making war on the United
States on the seas, called congress to
assemble in extraordinary session on
April 2, to deal with the situation.
PURPOSE of Session.
The purpose of the session-now
called two weeks earlier than the date
first set-as announced in the presi-
dents proclamation, is to receive a
communication from the chief execu-
tive on grave questions of national
ately under consideration"
The president in his address to con-
gress will detail how Germany practf-
cally has been making war on the
United States by the ruthless destruc-
ton of American lives and ships on
the high seas in contravention of all
the laws of nations and humanity.
To Declare State Of War Exists.
Congress then is expected to pass
a resolution declaring that a state of
war has existed between the United
States and Germany for some time
Such a resolution in itself will not be
declaration Of war in a technical
sense, although it practically will
amount to the same thing.
AS a consequence the United States
will take further steps to protect it's
interests on the high seas and else
where against the warlike acts of Ger
many and whether an actual state of
war will come to exist in it's full sense
will depend on the future acts of the
Imperial German government.

MOVE TO INCREASE RATES
STARTED WHEN PENNSYL WANNA
OFFICIAL ADDRESSED c.. c.
Says Situation Is Tense and That I'm.
mediate Relief Should Be Given
Roads by Higher Rates.

Washington, March "a. - Samuel
Rea, president of the Pennsylvania
railroad, has told the Interstate Com
MERGE commission that the rising cost
Of all commodities had affected the
railroads to such an extent that the
situation was tense" and that imme-
date relief should be given the roads
by higher freight rates if they were
to continue to render safe and eff
cient service.
Increased Cost Of Supplies.
Increased cost of all supplies, Mr..
Rea said, was reflected in prices paid
by the railroads for fuel, equipment
and construction material, in addition
to heavier payrclls resulting from the
Adamson decision. Speaking for the
chief bituminous coal carrying roads
of the East, he urged the commission
to dispense with it's usual suspension
Of proposed increases of from 5 to
Is cents per ton on coal from East
ern fields to Atlantic and Great Lakes
ports and to authorize the rates at
once.
The proposal to increase rates on BIZ
luminous coal, he intimated, is the
first step in movement for revi-
sion Of freight rates generally in Or
der that the railroads may meet the
increased cost of operation and yield
a fair profit to holders of their Sc
curitie1.
with the demand for larger ter
minals, increased facilities for carry
ing freight and more equipment wide
spread and pressing" Mr.. Rea said,
lit is essential that the railroads be
granted the higher rates necessary to
place them in a position to meet ris-
ing costs and give them the earning
basis to attract new capital"
