BAD EYES CAUSE
MANY REFLECTIONS

Examination of the records Of 10,-
600 men passed for military service
by local boards and then rejected by
camp surgeons show that nearly 22
per cent of the final reflections were
caused by defective eyes.
Teeth were responsible for $3.50
per cent; hernia, 7.47 per cent; ear,
5.94 per cent; heart disease, 5.S7 per
cent; tuberculosis, 5.S7 per cent.

Trip to San Diego.

| LoS Angeles, Cal.
Editor Tidings: Just returned
from a trip to San Diego, where Mr.
and Mrs kirkpatrick are quartered
for the rest of the season. Mrs.
Barnhill went as far as Santa Ana,
where she visited with the Eastmans
until hubby returned.
Miss Gertrude Eastman has charge
OF the fancy work department in the
Rankin department store and makes
monthly trips to Los Angeles to buy
new stock. Her domain is located
on the third floor of beautiful new
building, the woodwork being euca-
lyptus, which resembles Circassian
walnut when polished. In the even
ing several of Gertrude's friends
came in and there was music and fun
Until late hour.
The first forty miles of the road to
San Diego runs through walnut, lem
on and orange groves, passing Whit
ter, Fullerton, Anaheim and Santa
Ana. The first named place has
population of 5000 and the last
named $4,000. Life here approaches
the ideal-for those who own suffi-
cient property. A ten-acre orchard
home in this favored locality costs
$25, 900, if it is good enough to en-
able the owner to live in comfort.
The paved highways are lined with
palms and pepper trees, as well as
eucalyptus and some others; while
roses, geraniums, Gala lilies, poin-
settas and brilliant bouganvillas
bloom profusely in the warm winter
sunshine. We are wearing our sum-
ner clothes and oftimes must seek
the shade for comfort.
A few miles south of Santa Ana
the scene changes and we pass vast
fields of beans and grain. Much of
this land is owned by Spreckles, for
we are entering the domain of the
sugar king. Most of the way there is
paved highway, which sometimes
leaves the rolling foothills and skirts
the oceans edge, where the foaming
waves break forever on the sandy
shore.
For years Spreckles has been build
ing railroad from San Diego to the
Imperial valley and within a few
months the city hopes to establish |
rail connection with this rich region. |
Meanwhile, nearly $4,000 soldiers
and sailors are training in nearby
camps, the streets being thronged |
with men in blue and khaki. Mary |
Fickford went down there yesterday |
and reviewed the troops and led in
the grand march at big ball at the
U. S. Grant hotel.
San Diego is something of south
ern city, having large colored popu-
lation-black, red and yellow. There
is a Robert e. Lee hotel and the land
lord of the humble hostelry where
we stayed addressed your corre-
spondent as "kuhnel" and Father
Kirk as "majoh."
We found Rev. J. S. Smith and
family living in one of the houses for
which they traded their Ashland
being located at National
City, southern suburb of San Diego.
They have good, ten-room brick
house and quarter-acre gorden.

INVASION OF COAST
EASY, SAYS FIGHTER

That it would be altogether posi-
Me for German expedition to in
wade the Pacific coast is the state
ment of Lieut.. Col. John Leader, late
Of the British army, and now head
of the department of military sci
ence at the University of Oregon
According to the belief Of the
colonel, force of men could land
on the coast somewhere in Wash
ington south of Seattle, and so take
the people by surprise that they
would be completely helpless. Sim
ultaneously with the landing of the
German troops, every railroad tun-
mel in the Cascade and Siskiyou
mountains would be blown up, tele-
graph and telephone wires would be
cut, in an attempt to shut off the
whole section of the country from
communication with the outside
world.
1T would not be an impossible
thing to do" he said. "The simple
boche' is not as simple as he may
seem. He would of course select
time when Camp Lewis was filled
with green men, the former draft
having been sent on think that
he has had these plans all outlined
for years back, and it is my belief
that II internal troubles in Germany
continue, he may try to pull off
something of the kind to divert at
tention as well as to create senti-
ment in the United States in favor
of keeping troops at home.
"'It would be the simplest matter
in the world for the German to
make landing on the coast some
where in the north and to cause in
finite damage before he was COM
PEELED to surrender. There are
something like 100000 German sub
jects in the countries of South
America, and these men could be
called at a moments notice. Who
would observe that hundred men
were leaving this little place on the
coast, and then at some other place,
possibly hundred and fifty miles
away, another hundred men? The
secret service of this country cannot |
20 around and trail every man that |
leaves one of the longest coast lines
in the world. There is at least
chance that the movement would |
escape even the most vigilant atten-
tion.
Tramp steamers could slip out os
various ports on apparently legiti-
mate errands and these men could
all be picked up and equipped and
started out for the north.
There are a good many Germans
in Mexico. also. What is to prevent
them from crossing the line into
California and marching upon Los
Angeles?
THE main idea of an attempt at
al invasion, as / look at it," said
Colonel Leader, would be merely a
strategic one. It would prevent the
United States from sending troops
to France to support those already
there" ...,..
Colonel Leader speaks of the pos
eible invasion as a strategic question
