The necessity of keeping an eye
upon the Importance of sea power In
the present conflict. despite the close
attention claimed by the land battles.
Is emphasized by Archibald Hurd. the
naval expert, writing In the London
Daily Telegraph.
"We have been apt during the recent
offensiyes on the western 'front.'" Mr..
Hurd writes, ito overlook other as
poets of the war-notably the funda-
mental factor. which is sea power.
After a period of fifteen months, dur
ing which our strength In ships has
steadily declined. the downward ten
dency now has been definitely arrest
ed. Not only Is our sea power increas-
ing, but our grip on the enemy Is firm-
er than at any previous period Of the
war.
100000 Tons of Shipping.
"Sevcn million tons of shipping en-
ter or leave our ports monthly. Each
ship is the target for enemy subma-
rines, yet there have been days In the
present week when the enemy has not
secured single ship.
Twelve months ago we were with
difficulty maintaining one stream of
traffic, namely, that which brought us
food and raw material. Today sup
plies are flowing through this main
artery in greater volume than a year
ago. At the same time another stream
of traffic has started and merchant
shipping has been made available for
the greatest transport movement which
has ever been carried out.
"For three months past American
troops have been coming across the
Atlantic by tens of thousands, far fast
er than at any time the balance be-
tween the allies and the central pow
ers is being adjusted In favor Of the
former.
Reason for Confidence.
"Viewing the war In Its various as
pects-naval, military and economic
we have every reason for confidence
The tide is distinctly turning. and turn
ing, let US hope. for the last time. The
submarine menace is being held. The
allied armies are increasing In rela-
tive strength. The food position oi
this country, of France and Of Italy Is
improving, and shipbuilding. both In
British and American yards. Is pro
ceeding at a greatly accelerated pace
There is assurance that by the end OF
December at least 100000 tons will
have been put into the water here and
In the United States and that figure
may be considerably exceeded.
"On the other hand, the enemy's
sinkings of British and allied tonnage
have been so considerably reduced ow
ing to the activities Of the allied navie.
and the courage and resource Of theiI
merchant seamen that 1t Is practicall,
certain there will be balance Of ship
: ping on the right side.
'In word, the relative naval, mill
tary and economic strength of the al
lies is steadily increasing at momen
when the enemy is feeling the cumula
tive effects of the blockade maintained
over period of nearly four years
with increasing stringency, and Of th'
war on land, which not only has re
suited in heavy casualties, but hal
drained the central powers of indus
; trial workers"

Stockholm, July 12.-Ukrania is in a
state of countrywide revolution, &C.
cording to dispatches received here.
The Germans are pouring in rein
forcements, which now have reached
a total of 100000 men.
The peasants have several small

The fight is not of political char.

The following official statement OF
the attitude of James Rolph in the
primary vote tangle reached here to-
day:
''No matter what attempts. may be
made by partisans of Stephens or
Henev to camouflage the issue that
has resulted from the winning by
Mayor James Rolph, Jr., of San Fran
cisco of the Democratic nomination
for governor, and his loss of the Re-
publican nomination, the fact remains
that thousands more voted for Rolph
in the primary campaign just closed
than cast their ballots for Stephens or
Heney.
Eustace Cullinan, San Francisco at
torney ,and one of the Rolph cam
paign managers, has just issued
statement in which he clearly ana
lives the situation as follows:
"'The Democratic leaders who are
disputing over the question of wheth-
er Rolph or Heney ought to go on
the ballot as the Democratic nominee
are losing sight of the fact that Rolph
is not only the choice of the Demo-
cratic electors, but is also the choice
of the people as expressed at the pGl-
mary.
"'Of the electors who voted at the
primary, great many thousands
more expressed their preference for
Rolph than for any other candidate
on the ballot. The question is wheth-
err the will of those voters in both
the Republican and the Democratic
parties shall be thwarted by an abb
surd and, think, invalid provision
of the Primary Act.
"'Those Democratic leaders who
say that HeneN ought to be the NOM
inee are overlooking the fact that a
great majority of their own party
have declared that they want Rolph
for their nominee. 1t may very well
be that some of the Democratic lead
ers would prefer that the members
of their party had nominated Dem
ocrat instead of a Republican; but
the party has spoken. The Democrat
ic leaders, if they are leaders, ought
to acquesce in the decision Of the
great majority of the Democrats,
"But, as | said, the question is
ont what the Democratic leaders want,
but whether the people of California
who have declared in favor Of Rolph
shall have their will respected ;"

Imperial Valley Rancher Demon
strates by Tests That Large Re-
turns Could Be Expected in the
Production of Beets.

That sugar beets would be an ideal
,:roduct for the Imperial Valley, with
respects of banner sized crops, is the
onclusion drawn by county officers
after inspecting the results Of an eX-
pertinent made by rancher living
about a mile from Ell Centro.
Two huge beets. larger than those
given off by Mother Earth in the beet
raising section of the Coast country,
were exhibited as showing what could
be accomplished by careful cultivation,
plus, of course, the rich soil of this
section.
Dissected, the beets were found to
be as sweet as sugar cane and to con-
tain the nutriment necessary for the
production of a high quality of sacch-
al inc.
The rancher, whose name was not
obtainable, declared that he had
raised the beets among his grapes
and that the gratifying results were
obtained by careful cultivation and
rather sparing use of water.
Applying the same principle of ag-
riculture to cotton, the rancher ex-
hibited a sample of Pima cotton which
for texture and quality could hardly
be exceeded.

SAY SUGAR BEETSR0LPH ADHERENTS LOCATION CHANGE
|OFA| GRIP FOR ISSUE STATEMENT FOR 3RD TRACTOR
IMPERIAL VALLEY ON NOMINATION DEMONS STRAT TON

On account of the list of entrants
for the Third Annual Tractor DEM
onstration being far in excess of all
previous calculations and the demand
for hundreds of additional acres of
demonstration land growing greater
each approaching day of the meet, the
big tract of land selected for the site
on Whittier boulevard has been aban-
doned for mammoth acreage Oh Will
shire boulevard at La Brea street, at
the western city limits of Los An
geles.
The Whittier boulevard site would
have been ample for demonstra-
ton of a size similar to last years
meet, but the officials in selecting
that location never dreamed of hav-
ing to accommodate som any exhibit
tors as have already signed up. En-
tries have been so heavy during the
past week that every estimate on con-
struction and other necessary work
has had to be practically doubled.
i The new location has many ad-
vantages over the original one. 1t is
several hundred acres larger and, no
matter how many eXhibitorG enter,
there will be ample room for all. At
the old location only $50 acres were
available for demonstration field
with 90 acres for exhibitors tents.
Many of the visitors will prefer this
location, as it will enable them to
bring their families to the Crescent
Bay beaches and enjoy the pleasures
of the seaside and at the same time
be able to attend the meet every
day without inconvenience.
