DRILLING STARTS AT CAMP
 OF THE HOME OIL co.
tFrom Tnesdav's Daily ,

VI ipiii uF-ilfN ifFf'N
 The number of bobbing beams in the Chino Valley oil fields was in creased by one yesterday when the well of the Home Oil Company in section To was 'spuddcd in,' and the workmcn began the task of drilling a hole down into the oil bearing strata which is believed to undcrlic that part of the county. The Home people have promising lot of terri tory under their control and they are confident that a gusher will be brought in when sufficient depth is attained. The company was com pclled to delay actual drilling until a water well was put down, and a short while ago a large flow of water was encountered at the 465 level, and the camp is now assured of fine flow of water sufficiently large for operat- ing purposes.

Washington, Jan. 10.-America IS war
work the next few months will deter
mine Germany's attitude toward Pres
ident Wilson peace terms, officials here
advised today.
If we 60 in with all our strength
earnestly enthusiastically and whole
hcartedly-it will do more than any
thing else to bring early peace, the ex-
perts say. On the other hand, if Am
erica slows down under the thought that
peace is near, the tale will be far diff
terent, officials believe.
Meantime, Germany may appear to
yield as far as possible to the Lloyd
George and Wilson terms. The extent
to which she camouflages certain see
tions will measure just how badly she
wants peace.
This is how officials prophesy the
"next steps" in this mighty maneuver
which has already laid the foundations
for peace:
1-Germany will answer the terms ac'
cepting some, appearing to accept Others
2-She win continue a west front of

lies. If they try to suppress it totally or
partially, it will mean they are not to
be trusted and that Wilson s doctrine
must be spread by American propaganda
slowly.
AS for the United States, its position
is this:
"Our aims have been stated; take
them or leave them.'
Hence, it will proceed with its plans
for war, while at the same time it
spreads in Russia and so far as possible
in Austria and in Germany it appears
TO liberal minds to cut loose from mill
tarism and join the new congress Of ma
tions, where all are equal.

the Wilson message. If it is printed with
deletions or mistranslations, the mes
sage will then be put over to Germany

London, Jan. 10.-Britain would like
more details concerning President Will
son Is aim for freedom of the seas''.
In the general chorus of editorial ap-
lproval voiced in the morning press over
the direct, clear cut outlines of peace
terms by the American executive, there
was nevertheless a clear note Of anxiety
as to exactly what was meant by free
dom of the seas.
The dominant British feeling is still
opposed to complete disarmament on the
Iseas-unless there is an effective inter.
national league with widest police pow
ers. Some of the more conservative Brit.
ishers recognized the possibility of po-
sitions being reversed, putting England
at Germany Is mercy. In this connection,
it was recalled, the Declaration of Lon
don in 1910 was defeated in the house
of lords. 1t sought to deal with this
question.
On the other hand, there was general
recognition of the fact that the whole
question was one for after the war So
luton, and in the meantime all factions
realized President Wilson s statement
on this as a shrewd move to strengthen
the German liberals.
The conservative press today held
doubts as to whether President Wilson
has considered the hard realities of
the situation Stress was laid on the
latest German atroeity in the sinking
of the hospital ship Rewa as indicative
of the sort of foes with which the
British have to deal.

WAR WORK
WINNING THEM RIGHT
OF EQUAL SUFF RACE
President Wilson Assures
Leaders Of His Hearty Sup
port of Movement
BY L. @. Martin,

Omitted Press Staff Gorrespondent.)
Washington, Jan. 10-Women war
work is winning them the right to
vote.
The first trench in the battle for
suffrage extending over many years
in this country is expected to fall late
today when the house votes on a con
stitutional amendment granting equal
franchise rights to women. With
President Wilson supporting the suf.
frage ranks and republicans almost
solidly for the amendment, it is ex-
pected to get the necessary twothirds
vote
Already the battle to carry the SEN
ate has been started by the suffragists.
They will press for an immediate vote
in the upper branch and expect com
plete victory within two months.
Suffrage leaders, happy today at the
sudden and tremendous impetus given
their movement, predicted ratification
of the amendment by all the states by
1920. In twelve states they already
have full suffrage and in five enjoy
partial suffrage.
A complete suffrage victory would
mark the second great constitutional
amendment brought about by the war.
Prohibition came as war measure.
Then the women Of the country, sacri-
ficing their sons, knitting, making
bandages, working tirelessly for the
Red Cross, and in liberty bond cam
paigns, won the right to demand equal
La
brought from President Wilson at a
psychological moment the declaration
that democrats in congress should vote
for suffrage on grounds Of ''justice
and right"
1t was many years ago that Susan
B. Anthony started her movement for
suffrage Then during trip she made
south with Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
now president of the national Amer
lean women suffrage association, Miss
Anthony said.
ave must work along by states for
a long time When we have got enough
states the women of the country will
know the time has come to press for a
constitutional amendment and it will

Twelve states are already theirs

da, Kansas, New York, Idaho, Wyom-
ing, Utah, Montana, Arizona, and Colo
rado. Five others enjoy partial suf-

service of the country, in ammunition
works, railways, and the farms. The
German navy, believe, employees over
100000 men.
Less Than 100000 in Armies
But not to weary you with statistics
permit me to state as a fact that on
June /, of last year, the Germans had
in the army only 5,500,000 men, OF
these about 1,250,000 were on the Rus
sian front; 100000 in France, perhaps
10000 in Turkey and the Balkans, and
the remainder ON the communications
and. at the depots. At the present mo-
ment all Germans under arms do not
number 100000 The losses in Flanders
ON the Aisne, and in repeated futile at
tacks on Verdun have been about l.
100000.
L am aware that these are bare state
ments Of my own, but should any one Of
your readers choose to question them
shall, so far as you accord me space,
be fully prepared to substantiate them
in every respect.
AS to the present situation, and as
to any hopes the Germans may have
for the future, a year ago the Germans
called up the class of 1918. The French
have not yet called up the class of 1918
at all. Germany then called up the class
of 1919; this is exhausted, and now
she has called up the class. of 1920, of
whom the oldest are only is and the
youngest not IL. AS Mr.. Hilaire Belloc
says, Germany, for the first time since
the war began, has been compelled to
call all three classes. When she called
1918, year ago, she was two years
ahead Of normal; now she is four years
wears ahead. She has no reserves. The
class of 1921 includes no boy over IL.
We are told by our pessimists that
France is exhausted. She has still the
classes of 1918, 1919 and 1920, untoueh-
ed, and she has. about 100000 men at
the front.
Gormany's Waning Man Power.
Now as to the predictions of Mr.. Nc
Cormick and the other prophets Of woe
who see a possible prolongation of the
agony for five years, L venture the
simple statement that Germany at the
end of two years and at the present
rate Of casualties would not have ;
0OO. 900 men left in the field. On June
l of last year the German losses had
been 4,500,0O0, Of whom over 2,000,-
0CO were actually killed and over 200
600 prisoners. Since that date they have
been even proportionately larger. Their
partially successful but entirely fruit
less counter attack on the English at
Cambria the other day again set the or
aeles prophesying dreadful things.
How well remember the shuddering
predictions in 1915, when the Germans
outnumbered the English two TO one IN
men and five to one in guns, that they
would capture Calais and lombard Do

been threatened and one attempt with

The disaster of the italian debacle
and the Russian treason have engender-
ed feeling of depression and pessim-
ism among the unmilitary portion of
the entente allies which is, in my opin-
ion, more dangerous to our cause than
undue optimism. Were the expression
of this feeling confined to our Social
lists and pro-Germans we might ignore
lit, When l read the statements made by
Mr.. Gerard, the distinguished diplomat
| ist and ardent patriot, that the Germans
llave 100000 available soldiers still
at call, and one by a no less competent
and patriotic congressman, Mr.. Meteor
mick, that in his opinion the war may
last five years, it behooves one who
has made the military situation care
ful study to try to relieve the gloomy
apprehensions of these gentlemen, and
of those whose opinions may be thereby
infected.
Infection Is German Hope.
Let not the god Pan run amuck un-
checked among US. For really the Ger
mans base ali their hopes upon the
psychological infection engendcred by
such statements and not at all upon
the military situation, unless ground
less groundless panic unnerves us. A
bare mathematical statement of the
facts is sufficient to prove my case.
The population of European Ger
many in 1914 was about 68,000,000. Of
this about 33,00O,000 were male and
la. 100000 female The official statistics
for the year 1914 gave 1929 females to
$50 males per 100 in the German en-
ipire. There were not 100000 men be-
tween the ages of 18 and so In the Ger
man Empire in 1914. Assuming that
every male between these possible ex-
tremes of youth and age, Is and 30,
were eonseripted and that every man
from is to 50 were fit, even then only
about 100000 would have represented
the military man power of Germany IN
1917. Thirty per cent of the whole male
population has never been contributed
by any country at any time to its
armies. The only people who have evei
approximated to that figure were our
erring but gallant brethren of the south
ern eonfederacy. They practically put
in every male between IL and 60. and,
as General Grant said, the "robbed
the cradle and the grave" to do it. 1t
/ is unnecessary TO stase TO any one in
the slightest degree a student Of war
that, supposing at the start the total
number Of Germans between 18 and 80
was 100000, it would be impossible to
put 100000 in the army. At least l.
GOO. 600 between those extremes of age
would be unfit, ani 100000 at least
would be necessary for the industrial
