/ FUNNY LOS ANGELES

One of the real funny things about Los Angeles is it's ability to pull brilliant sunshine from the bIackest night. When it freezes it simply gives a
 tang to the atmosphere that reminds the eastern wis., itor of home. When the winds so strong that they blow down hOuses uproot trees and blow auto mobiles from the roadways, it is of great benefit in keeping the frOsts from npping the budding orange When sea anamalculae is washed up against the re- puted beaches and gives off its phOsphOrescent glow at night and its ungOdly stench in the day time, 1t is old ocean reminding the visiting native of Cape Cod of his fishing days when too many of the fnny tribe were caught and had to be thrown overheard, to be later washed up the Leach and allowed to pOIlute the air. When rains falls then the sunny cline of the southland is simply showing off to the visitors, and when it rains and snOws it is simply pouring down grains of gold into the pockets of the orange pckers. It is good disposition to have, but it sounds too much of braggadOcO to the people who have to read this stuff in the papers day by day.

BIGGER BUSINESS IN 1918

The United States, for many years country of big business, promises to eclips4 all other years in the matter, of big business during 1918. With bill lions being spent in the government purchases of supplies and the payment of one hundred millions monthly to the troops the building of the greatest merchant marine of all countries, the naval program to be carried out, and the building of munitions plants, and all other forms of industry at their heights why should not the country breathe pros pcrity from every pore The United States is cOun try of vast treasure. Its metals it's farms, its reaches contain everything that the other countries need and must have Therefore prices for all forms of commodities are soaring, wages the highest ever known and the people laying away interest bearing bonds by the millions Thrift has taken the place of extravaganza, and the people will awake from the war to find themselves well to do matter what their place in real life may have been. While the larger business may not make the big profits on individual contracts the aggregate of all will mean billions oA money in the end. When the war ends, which will not be in 1918, these people will have de- veloped industries in the country that will open the eyes of the world. Water powers will be developed, the irrigable lands, capable of many yearly crops, will have been brought under cultivation and every form of farming will be carried a more exten- sive and more economic scale Machinery will be dO- ing work and the people will be getting greater results from their individual efforts. But the one thing to keep in view is that ouF country is gaining in prosperity not losing dollar of its wealth one particle of its activity. Only crOakers breakers ahead; to all others the water is smooth and clear.

and smelting grades and now on the 1900 foot level, the ore found is showing higher values which is ac- cording to the predictions of the best mining men in the camp. ome recent development work on the extreme south end of the Blue Bell mine, about 20OO feet south of the main shaft, has opened an ore body better than "A feet in width at a depth of 75 feet. It is the plan of the company to run drift on the 800 foot level southward to open the new strike at depth.
 JerOme-Del Monte Suspends
 With S1,10O,000 in it's treasury, the Jerome-Del Monte company has sus- pended development operations for the period of the war. One reason for the suspension is that General Man ager E. s. Armstrong, of Los Angeles, has been called to the service of the government and will occupy an impOr- tant position at one of the eastern mu- nitions factories. Until the war is over, he will have absolutely no time to devote to private business. Anoth- CT reason is that the electric motor necessary to drive the two big new pumps cannot be obtained. Delivery of the motor was expected two or three weeks ago but Superintendent Homer was informed recently that it would be delayed indefinitely. High wages and the excessive cost of ma terials also entered into the decision of the Jerome-Del Monte company to suspend for the period of the war.
 Shipments Cease
 With the maintop ore body scarcely touched, shipments from the Jerome Verde have been suspended. This is because the working agreement be- tween the Jerome-Verde and the Unit ed Verde Extension, under which the Extension is pledged to hoist 25 tons of Jerome-Verde ore daily through the Edith shaft expired December 23, and has not been renewed.

THE METALS

Slowly silver is taking its upward trend toward the high point reached few months ago, the quota tiOns being above 90 cents per ounce in New York and London. Its importance as a basic money metal has, always been recognized by the big of the financial world but so fearful ard these fellows of currency imitation" that they moving heaven and earth to keep the government from adopting the double standard. One of the big bankers the other day made the statement that the government could not issue treasury notes by the millions and maintain their parity with gOId imitation would be ruinous to the nation, citing many of the smaller govern ments' issue of unlimited paper money. The atti- the financial board of the United States, is entirely wrong The government is in just the same position in its issuance of bonds it would be in the issu anee of millions for that matter billions, of rea sury notes. In this connection it is well to note that parity with gold were the treasury notes. All other forms of bank paper went far below par. And why not in the present instance when the government is issuing millions in bonds and savings stamps would
 it not be well to issue treasury notes to meet any emergency The faith of the nation is back of it all, anyway and the only difference is that bonds carry interest while treasury notes ard free from interest account So far the debt is concerned it is simply an easy way to get the money, rather to make it.

After several weeks of fluent verbage in the con- gress of the United States anent unpreparedness, Secretary of War Baker has given out the statement that there are under 1,5OO,OOO men, and large fighting force in France. All the Liberty Boys now equipped with most modern weapons and under charge of well trained officers. Great muni
 tOns plants are under construction and every plant in the country that turn out and munitions under contract. Thi( talk of lack of energy is shown to be the veriest bOsh by the report of the secretary. It takes time to equip big army, and it takes time to transport million men to the other side of the pond England was two years get ting fighting force into France large the United States have there, and it only few months ago that they dared assume the offensive. The United States has been busy the past eight months and is entering on one of the greatest campaigns known in the history of the world for world wide safety of the nations and peoples.

Daniel A. HOan, recently elected mayor of Mil waukee, has made the, to him, startling discovery, that he cannot obey the laws and constitution of the United States and at the same time comply with the platform of the Socialist party. How he came to discover the un-Amercan attitude of socialism is not stated. But Daniel A. HOan believes that he greater duty to his country than following the precepts of socialism and therefore is to be be-
 eved that he will continue in office and further the of his country.

ONLY A VOLUNTEER

Why, didn't want to be drafted, And led to the train by hand? Or put in a claim for exemption, Oh, why did I hold up my handl Why didn't I wait for the banquet? Why didn't I wait for a cheer? For the drafted men get. all the credit; While I only volunteered. Nobody gave me a banquet;
 No friend gave me kind word; A puff of the engine, the grind of
 wheels,
 Was all the "good-byes" heard. Then off to the camp was hustled, To be trained for the next half year, And in the scuffle I was forgotten For was only volunteer. I built the others their barracks, Was roasted alive in tents; I cleaned off a dozen parade grounds, For the fellows that were only
 "sent." Then along came the National Army, Then it was made very clear, That the glory goes to the drafted
 man,
 And hell to the volunteer. have walked in the mud in Texas, 1 have frozen in the Canada cold; have walked my post in the moon
 light,
 Until I've got quite bold. Still I'm not on the roll of honor, And no one sheds tear, By all I am forgotten,
 For Pm only a volunteer. I dreamed of the far-off Flanders, On the bloody field of hate; went over the top, and a bullet was
 stopped, Then knocked at the pearly gate, And heard old St. Peter say: q have no room for your kind here; Were reserved for the National
 Army,
 Hell was made for the volunteer" But some day in the future, When my son sits on my knee, And asks what did in the great war When he looks up at me, 1 will have to look back into those eyes That at me so truthfully see And tell him I was not drafted, I was only a volunteer.

CONQUEST AND KULTUR

From all this it appears that the Monroe doctrine cannot be justified. So it remains only what we Europeans have described inspiration. And so it remains only what we Europeans almost uni versally consider it, impertinence. With noisy cry they try to make an impression the world and succeed especially with the stupid. The inviOlabity of the American soil is invoked without there being at hand the slightest means of warding off the at- tack of respectable European pOwer.-JOhannes VoIIert, AIdeutsche Blatter, Jan.

ATTENTION OF
WASHINGTON
!. T0N LULL
Believes that More Allied
Forces are Being Brought
Up to Hamper Huns.

Washington, July 27.-Develop-
ments behind the lull in fighting held
the attention today Of officials here.
Speculation was made as to whether
the cessation Of the intensive ham
mering at the jaws Of the trap set for
the. Germans by. General Foch might
not mean that the Allied commander
was bringing up fresh troops. To other
observers the apparent calm meant
that the Allied staff had decided to
await the, arrival of additional Amer
ican forces and resources before en-
barking on the general offensive OPP
erations.
Unofficial dispatches gave no indi-
cation Of the important developments
that are pending.
At the present stage Of the great
battle period of calm is considered
Of far greater benefit to Allied arms
than to the enemy. Artillery action
was counted on to prevent the enemy

FOOD SITUATION
BETWEEN RUSSIA
AND GERMANY
BECOMES ESACUTE
Not Enough for Both and
Question is Which Shall
Get It.

Warrington, July 27.-The food
situation between Germany and Rus
sia has reached an acute stage, ac-
cording to advices received today at
the state department There is not
enough food for both countries and
the question as to who will get what
provisions there are has reached a
critical stage. Il.
Washington-F1igh- methods
have been adopted by the Germans, it
was said. Soldiers with threshing
machines are sent into the grain coun-
tries andlthe grain reauisitioned. The
Russian peasants are allowed only
such quantities as the soldiers decide
they need. & @ ii.
The Germans also were said. to be
requisitioning cattle and horses in
Poland and Lithuania, and to be help
ing themselves to timber in. those
countries. without going through the
formality of giving receipts.
Information also reached the de-
partment today that the reason for the
refusal of the allied diplomats at
vologda to accept the Bolsheviki in
vitation to move to Moscow was that
the Soviet capital already is con-
trolled by the Germans whose armed
forces easily could take actual posses
sion of the city.

said that it had resulted, according to

The positions on. the fanks of the
salient near scissors and Rheims are
relatively unchanged, General March
said.

The most striking advance since

noted was by the British forces just
west of Rheims. This advance. of a

danger to the enemy. placing his
forces to the south in an awkward
position.
AS a result, General March said, the

The Allies have been called upon
to face two great otfensives during
the past year. The first of these came
last October in Italy and the second,
In France, began on March 21. The
German drives in France, while sep
arated by periods Of from few days
to several weeks, have been consider
ed as different phases of the same
l'ohensive. The abortive Austrian at
looked upon as merely another at
tack against the western front and
not as q distinct military operation.
But these offensives perhaps never
would have been begun had it not
been for the collapse Of Russian dur
ing the past winter. German and
Austrian troops, released from the
Russian front, were taken to France
and italy to swell the masses of men
hurled against the Allies In the west

Russia remained in the fight she held
