their spare moments until they
are ready to enter since it costs
nothing extra. This often saves

1t will not be long now before
those who are to be chosen for

the whole country will be better

inactive and inert. They will
most naturally. and sanely so,
refrain from business ventures,
not knowing whether they could
carry them into execution or full
fill contracts. No ablebodied
man, who is subject to draft,
would care to buy a farm, a
store, or start a saw-mill, at
this time. when it is possible he
will be called away within a few
months. But just as soon as
the men necessary for war-duty
have been selected, then those
within war ages, left out, can
and will go to planning for the
future. The dav that the army
is made up will witness a great
industrial impetus all over the
land. The men left out will be
more than willing to do their
part for the general prosperity
of the country, and with ready
and willing hands will go to
work to assist in the promotion
of the nations industrial needs.
New contracts will be made and
new enterprises opened up.

 At the time the German steamer was m Magdalena bay the British cruiser was reported at Santa Rosalia keep ing watch over the fleet of German merchantmen tied up there. About the same time three Japanese warships were sighted off Cape San Lucas, at he extreme tip of Lower California.

 That German raider would have little trouble picking up a crew and obtaining stores and fuel along the Lower coast is admitted by federal au- thorities here. At Santa Rosalia alone there are eleven German ships and barks maned by more than 125 off, cers and seamen. Between Santa Ro- saiia and Punta Arenas there are seven large freighters of the German mer- canti,e marine.
 The mysterious German steamer re- ported by Flores was painted black, had one funnel ana was equipped with wireless. Flores estimaetd the craft to be about 300 feet in length. The bridge was placed well forward.

 It is stated that five prospecting boilers have been taken to Iron creek within the past few days, and much work is contemplated.

 That the naval authorities have be- come alarmed over the apparently re- liable reports of German activity is in- dicated by the increasing of the United States patrol fleet in lower coast waters. Three torpedo boat destroyers left here week ago under sealed orders. They left under cover of the night.
 It became known for the first time here today that German agents, said to have been in the pay of Franz Popp, convicted Germna consular agent at San Francisco, have been actively en- gagged at Mazatlan, Manzanillo. and even ia San Diego, in attempting to se- cure coal for steaming purposes. It is also. reported that large quantity of crude oil has been shipped to a cer- tain German firm at Mazatlan from San Pedro, Cal. The presence of the radio station at Turtle bay has been known to the local port officials for some time. Steps have been taken by
