SHOWS PATIENCE
AND FORBEARANCE

LONDON, Feb. 5.-Lord Northcliffe,
owner Of the Times. the Daily Mail, and
other publications, today made the fol-
lowing statement to the Associated
Press concerning the severing of rela-
tons with Germany:
1T is generally felt here that when
the history of this great world revolu-
ton is written, future generations viii
realize that the United States has eX-
hibited patience and forebearance to a
point beyond which national honor and
dignity could not go. 1t is hoped by a
majority of the English people that
America will not be drawn into the
war The entente allies have Prussia
well in hand, and it's sympathy, moral
support and assistance with finance,
munitions and food will be rendering
our crusade an immense service.
IF military intervention becomes
necessary, | do not doubt that the
American soldiers will be as brave and
as efficient as the American contingent
now in the trenches in France, with
whom | lately spent an interesting day
Our navy has great faith in yours.
There is no possibility of Germany
starving Great Britain. Next to your
selves we are the most wasteful people
on earth. but figures of our food re-
serves, with which | am acquainted
show that If we exercise moderate
economy and protection of our navy
will enable US TO carry on the war foi

To PRESERVE SEA
POWER OF ENGLAND

BERLIN, Feb. 5. (Via London. THE
Tagliche Rundschau says:
President Wilson has determined
under all circumstances to preserve
England's strong sea power, perhaps
chiefly because he wants to win Eng
land as an ally against Japan which
has begun to set in motion 100000 900
Chinese"
The paper repels President Wilson's
effort to distinguish between the Ger
llan people and government and says:
we are fully united, from the en-
peror to the humblest day laborer. our
government did not resolve to begin
submarine warfare against commerce
ever the heads of the people. but upon
the impetuous demand of the people
and in complete harmony withthe pop
tlar assembly and the public will"
Die Post thinks that Ameri as ac
tive participation in the war can hardly
change the situation and that the join
ing of that country in the hostilities
can hardly bring greater help to the
entente allies than already has been
given by munitions and loans.
The Boersen Zeitung sees in Presi-
dent Wilson's action refusal to recog-
nize the situation of compulsion in
which Germany has been placed by her
enemies will to destroy her. and adds:
ne 6buDbpiIiiN u doC-
thine of submarine warfare which he
adopted at the outset and has frustrat-
ed all the efforts of our government to
maintain good relations despite the
submarine warfare"
The Vorwaerts says that both sides
should drop the talk about morality,
and adds: The Americans have it easy
in talking about the sacred laws of hu-
mainly which the Germans are tread
ing under foot. They are not threat
ened in their existence; they know
nothing of the pleasures of life in the
trenches. and when they want bread.
butter, bacon, cheese, milk and eggs
they go To the next shop and buy what
they want. Under such circumstances
il is easy to eXalt the laws of humanity.
Americans have as little right to make
moral representationsto us as q portly
citizen has the right to judge a poor
devil who comes into conflict with the
laws through dire Distress

BREACH IS TREATED
WITH GREAT GRAVITY

BERLIN. Feb. 5.-(Via London)-
The morning newspapers treat the
breach in diplomatic relations between
the United States and Germany as a
matter of great gravity but all the edi-
torials are calm and moderate. The
avoidance of insulting language and
cutting epithets is especially noticeable.
Most of the newspapers say the news
created no surprise, some of them ex-
planning that this step was expected in
view of President Wilson's message OF
last April and others that it was anti
cipiated in view of the presidents con
tinual siding with the entente since the
war began"
All the newspapers strongly reject
the imputption that Germany has brok-
en- her promise made in her note of May
I, laying stress upon the fact that Ger
many's promise was expressly condi =
toned on President Wilson's success
in bringing England to an observance
Of the laws of nations. They generally
assert that President Wilson persists
in ignoring Germany's justification for
her submarine policy, as outlined in
her various notes
A number of the papers adopt a re-
gretful tone over the wreck of the old
friendship between the two countries
because her life interests were at stake
1t Is generally assumed by the news
papers that the United States viii make
an early declaration of war against
Germany, for they say the submarine
campaign can hardly be prosecuted
without the loss of some American
lives.
While the entrance of the United
States into the ranks of Germany's en-
emies would be highly regretable, the
newspapers say the country must meet
this danger as the lesser of two evils
The danger of the United States as a
war factor is treated as comparatively
unimportant, owing to the remoteness
of the area of war and the time thai
would be required to create an army
The opinion is evinced in some quar-
tiers that the submarines will decide the
war before the United States can take
an active hand.

SEES AN ATTEMPT
At COMPROMISE
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlrel

LONDON, Feb General impress
sions which prevailed in newspaper
circles today were reflected in the
afternoon papers that Germany is at
tempting to prevent actual hostilities
with the United States by overtures for
a compromise on her war zone policy.
The only discoverable ground for such
impressions was the news that Ger
many has offered Holland and the
Scandinavian countries some con
cesSiOns" for steamers taking to Ger
many food supplies and mails.
The first direct news received in
London from Germany since the sew
erance of relations was the Associated
Press dispatch describing the German
attitude, which will be published in
the British morning papers and is like
ly to dispel the rumors of a compro-
mise.
The greatest interest centers in the
reply of the smaller neutrals to Presi-
follow the American policy, but the be-
lief here is that the smaller countries
bordering on Germany would fear to
align themselves in hostility, for one
reason that in the possible event Of the
central powers winning the war their
destiny would be wholly in Germany's
grasp.
SPANS attitdue is different Only a
few weeks ago Spain was listed here
as the only distinctly pro- German
European nation among the neutrals,
except Greece. This attitude was
credited by officials inl London to an
extensive propaganda carried on By
Germany in that country throughout
the war. Spain's relations with Ger
many today, however are considered
to be about the same as Hollands.
Diplomatic discussions regarding the
sinking of several Spanish vessels are
afcot.

If California. 'A'
1t has dawned upon congressman

tire of wine will not diminish the
store of food crops which the country
is endeavoring to save by introducing
a prohibition amendment into the food
bill. Hence the manufacture OF all
spirituous and matted liquors except
wine will be forbidden by the bill,
A provision favored by the agricul'
tural committee of the House which
net great favor in that branch of

ture of all intoxicants be forbidden ex-
ccpt that the president should allow
in his discretion the manufacture OF

ESTED.
FINE OPENING HERE
FAVE PATENTS FOR ROTTING
OUT FIBRE.
FINE OPENING HERE
Somewhere in Ell CentrO a Large Fac
tory for This Enterprise Will Be
Built-Wili Employ sc Men.

D. W. Green and James F. DWinnell,
Pasadena capitalists, are here today
locking for site for a factory for
the making of hemp rope and twine.
They state that they will positively
build in Ell Centro as soon as a sat
isfactory site is secured. They pro-
pose to invest from $4,000 to $4,000
in the first unit of factory which
shall eventually represent hundreds OF
thousands of capital invested. They
are associated with H. H. Timken,
principal owner of large ranches in
the Imperial Valley, and the pioneer
grower of hemp here.
Messrs. Green and Dwinnell have
rlade an exhaustive study of condi-
tons here for the growing of hemp
and its reduction into merchantable fl
bre. They are satisfied that hemp can
be grown here to perfection and that
Iarge yields of the fibre are promised
from acreage in the Valley.
The Pasadena men are interested in
PATENTS on a machine for the artificial
rotting of the vegetable matter in the
hemp plant, and will install many Of
them in. the new plant 1t is expect
ed that fifty men will be employed ir
the rope factory when completed. The
great demand for the fibre because of
the cutting off of ordinary sources OF
supply since the war began offers a
hondsome profit for the enterprise
The largest acreage of hemp is the
10E-acre trac ton the Timken ranch
near Brawley. This has attained q
height of frome five to seven feet, and
the fibre is pronounced excellent.
