GYPS|ES TO HAVE
SACRED CAMP

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal-Romany
tribes, commonly known as ''gyr-
sies," are travelling toward Califor-
MIA from all parts of the United
States with the avowed purpose Of
establishing a "sirnihatch" or per-
manent sacred encampment at En-
eryville, across the bay from San
Francisco, officials of east bay cities
believe.
In possession of tribal leaders,
who came to the coast to attend the
recent marriage of Georgs Adams.

Mary. who said she was an Egyp-

from headquarters of six tribes
scattered throughout the country.
These contained but two words,
Amen avasa." or I'VE come" They
were said to be replies to a coun-
try-wide call for the gathering of
the gypsy clans.
Not all of the gypsies are in

the tradition that one day they

ultimate home of the wanderers on
the Pacific coast
Fifteen thousand men and women
and their boys and girls are esti-
mated to be on their way here.
Lesko Armenia, head of a Greek
gypsy band, and others have made
inquiries as TO state laws on munici-

of Emeryville are said to be appre-

sufficient voting power to take over
control of the town, now a city OF

The bands are reported to have

leaders. It is a green banner bear

MUST INCREASE,
SAYS HOOVER

LONDON.-Unless European pro-
ductivity can be rapidly increased,
there can be nothing but political,
moral and economical chaos finally
interpreting itself in loss of life on
scale hitherto undreamed of, says
Herbert Hoover, former head of the
Interallied Reliaf Commission, in an
analysis of the economic situation in
Europe just published in the British
National Food Journal.
1.-THE entire surplus productivity
Of the Western hemisphere is to-
tally incapable of meeting the pres
ent deficiency in European produc-
ton if it is long continued" the
analyst asserts. Nor could cred
its be modified for this purpose
for more than a short period, be-
cause all credits must necessarily
be simply an advance against the
return of commodities in exchange.
and credits will break down the in
slant that the return of commodi-
ties becomes improbable. Further.
if such credits be obtained for more
than temporary purposes, it would
result in economic slavery of Eu-
rope to the Western hemisphere,
and the ultimate end would be war
again"
Mr.. Hoover points out this solu-
ton of the European economic prob
lem: "A vigorous realization of the
actual situation in each country of
Europe and a resolute statesman
ship based on such realization
the populations of Europe must be
brought to a realization that pro-
ductivity must be instantly in
creased
In the present-day European fer
ment, Mr.. Hoover says, every eco
nomic patent medicine" has focked
under the banner of socialism or
communism which has claimed TO
speak for all the downtrodden-to
alone bespeak human sympathy"
Experimentation in varying forms
of these political leanings-socialism
and communicable so far. in ev-
cry case, resulted in reduced pro-
duction, the food controller says.
Europe's threatened coal famine,
the analysis says, is due ''in the
largest degree to the human factor
of the Limitation of effort
Western assistance in the form
of its devotion of surplus productiv-
ity to Europe's needs, lis a service
that the Western hemisphere must
approach with high sense of hu-
man duty and sympathy" concludes
Mr.. Hoover. The economic burden
on the West should not last more
than year and can be carried and
will be repaid. To effect these re-
suits, the resources of the Western
hemisphere and of Europe must be
modified"

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, July 49,
The new Pacific fleet, the first pow

assembled to guard the west coast
sails from Hampton Roads today fol
its home waters.
For weeks the huge fleet has been
gathering off Old Point Comfort
Eight battleships, the flagship Bir

tender and dozens of destroyers
were lined up today along the roads
ready for the start
Admiral Hugh Rodman. command
ing the fleet, was with the flagship
New Mexico. With the New Mexico
were seven battleships-the Wyo
ming, Arkansas, New York. Texas
Arizona, Idaho and Mississippi. The
Birmingham and the tender Vestal

smaller ships.
The fleet will make for the Pana-
ma canal. It will be the greatest
that has passed through the canal.
When it is assembled on the Pacific
1t will comprise 200 ships with 1000
officers and $4,000 men. 1t will be
more than twice the tonnage of the
huge" fleet which sailed around the
world in 1908.
From the time the fleet reaches
the open sea it will begin to increase.
Six more battleships-the Virginia,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, Georgia,
Nebraska and Vermont-will join it,
as will all the cruisers now on the

in European waters, and few crui-
sers are already on the Pacific side
When the fleet is complete there
will be sixteen battleships.

about 100 Of the fleet of 200 vessels
will cruise through the canal OF
these, fiftyfive or more will be de-
stroyers.
Many units scattered at Atlantic

for the canal trip, expected to be
made a test of speed with which
huge ships can pass.

troops, representing twelve nations
passed in brilliant procession in com
Imemoration of peace.
Flags and pennants gave the city
a festive attire and millions literally
choked the streets, as composite
! regiment of $500 Americans, under
the command of General Pershing
started to lead the parade at ten
O'Clock down Buckingham palace road
Besides the doughboys there were 500
French and Italian troops, 400 Bel
gians and detachments from Siberia
IRumania, Portugal, Japan, Poland
Czecho-Slovalda, Greece, China and
Siam.
Field Marshal Haig led the British
forces, followed by the colonial troops.
General disappointment was voiced
when it was learned that the pictur-
esque Indian troops would be missing.
due to an influenza outbreak they
were not able to come from France.
King George promised he would re-
view them later.
After the soldiers came 1000 sailors
and marines and a thousand merchant
sailors, led by Admiral Beatty. Six
hundred Wrens, Waacs and Wrafs,
marching twelve abreast, formed evi.
dence of the striking part British
women have played in making victory
possible.
The procession took three hours to
pass one point along the six and half
mile route.
The supreme moment came when
the allied veterans, swinging into the
broad space before Buckingham pal
ace, went past King George, greeted
him with snappy salute and passed on
toward Hyde park, where tho parade
ended.
Apart from the mornings parade,
many other novel features combined
to make the day a memorable one in
British history Open air gala cele
brations were held in the parks. The
League of Arts had arranged for huge
choirs, clad in mu1ti-colored robes,
tabards and cowls to render national
songs and hymns in all the open
places. Included in these choruses
was choir of 10000 voices which was
to sing in Hyde park, under direction
of Dr.. Charles Harriss, Santa Barbara,

RESERVATIONS ASKED
Republican Senators Sounded Out by
President Wilson to
Find Lowest

i Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Presi
dent Wilson's position on reserya
tions to the peace, today was the
subject Of warm dispute among
senators.
/ Those who want reservations, de
clared the president has inicated tc
recent callers that he might be will
ing to accept explanatory or interpre
tative reservations.
Administration senators replied
that he is unalterably against reser
vations of any sort.
J But it was considered significant
! that following conference with the
president last night at the capitol
| Senator Hitchcock, administration
| spokesman, said "The whole ques.
! ton now is the form and the word
/ ing of the resolution of ratification.
There is no longer any danger of
amendment of the treaty 1t will be
| ratified without the dotting Of an 'i'
or the crossing of 1T" so far as the
text Is concerned"
Hitchcock said he and the presi-
dent discussed the interpretative and
explanatory reservations among
other things. But he insisted the
president is standing pat against all
reservations. His reference to the
wording Of the resolution of ratifica.
tion was taken in some quarters,
however, to indicate there might be
scme concession to those demanding
reservations in the form Of a mild
explanatory clause in the resolution.
That the president has been
searching the minds Of his republi-
can senatorial callers, to learn Just
how little they can be satisfied with
iE the way of res eservations, was the
statement today Of one senator who
visited the white house yesterday.
"My opinion is that the presi lent
is trying to find the lowest price FOR
which he can get the necessary yo,es
for ratification" said this sena-or
Wilson himself let 1t be known
following his talk with Hitchccck at
the capitol that he thinks "c.ar:fying
o. council is all that is nee,lad to
insure acceptance of the league ard

THIS Qualification he is known to
believe depends on removal oe mis-.

ings which now cause opposition.
He is understood to have express.

conferences with republican senators
will remove these causes of hos
