-OO
CHAITT TATIOITA \

CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y,
Aug. Is. (UP) - Through
the foreign offices and the
chancellories of the world,
there rang today President
Roosevelt's forceful preaching
against war and his pledge to isol-
ate this country from all war dam
gers.
In a major pronouncement OF
American policy, the president told
a crowd of several thousand last
night that he had been bitterly
disilluSioned in the hope the whole
world could be led into the ways
of peace.
He betrayed his grave concern
with world conditions. "A goodly
portion of his every "a hours,
he said, was devoted to study
of foreign relations. He did not
refer specifically to any country
Or to any situation, but his listen
ers did not doubt that some OF
his fears were based upon the
Spanish civil war, the Italo-Ethl-
opian war, and the japanese con-
quest of Manchuria.
Ready For Defense
I'VE believe in Democracy" he
cried out at the end, repeating
what he had said before. 1--WE be-
lieve in freedom and we believe
in peace. And SO we offer to every
nation of the world the handclasI
of the good nelghbor. Let those
who wish our friendship look Us
in the eye and take our hand"
Some observers saw significance
in four words appended to Mr
Roosevelt's pledge that this coun-
try was ready to defend itself
The words were a pledge to de-
fend not the United States alone
but to defend our neighborhood.'
Mr.. Roosevelt made four specific
points in a program to maintain
American neutrality and peace IL
world of war and threatening
war. These points were:
/. Insistence that American busi'
ness, industry, and agriculture fore
swear profits from foreign conflicts

it threatened to fire on them as
they embarked refugees, it was un-

The Almirante Cereva was cruis-

I'VE will open fire on you If
you help government adherents to
escape among the refugees" threat
ened the rebel cruiser by wireless,
Thank you," replied the Cayugs.
The Cayuga's one 5-inch gun and
its two 6-pounders, and the Comets
four ATS were turned on the AL
mirante Cereval.
The rebel ship steamed out and
lay offshore while the embarking
of refugees continued. The refugees

CANDIDATES TO
SPEAK AT RALLY
TUESDAY NIGHT

Imperial county voters will have
an opportunity to size up candi-
dates for various offices Tuesday
night when a valley wide meeting
will be held under the auspices Of
the Imperial County Republican AS
sembly at FL Centre, according to
Harvey HaStain, chairman of the
assembly.
"All San Diego county candidates
for congress are invited to speak
at the meeting" Hastain said, "and
Elmer w. Heald and F. w. Greer,
valley candidates, are also expected
to attend. Heald has assured us
that he will come over from San
Diego county where he has been
campaigning.
Candidates will be allotted their
position by lot Immediately preceu-
ing the meeting and by agreement

"All candidates for county offices

found during a search of the insti-

First intimation that the convicts
planned an uprising came when a
section crew composed of prisoners
working on the railroad connecting
the prison with Folsom City were
given a routine search as they were
being returned to the prison yard
last night In a bundle of laundry
carried by Chester AyhmeS, So, San
Francisco burglar, the guards found
a .25 calibre automatic pistol. Fur
ther search revealed a 80 calibre
pistol hidden in his trousers leg.
Questioning of other members of

MILLIONAIRE FLYER
WILL CIRCLE GLOBE
SUSPECT HELD
IN Ell CENTRIC
IN THEFT CASE

A white slip and a key to a
stolen automobile caused the de-
tention of Steve J. Firpo after he
was arrested at Yuma as SuS-
piciouS character. The fact that
he did not have the missing auto
mobile failed to help Firpo.
Firpo was brought to Ell Centre
to be held for Los Angeles Off
cials on a grand theft charge.
The Pole admitted to Sheriff
Robert W. Ware and T. M. Sharp
chief criminal investigator for the
sheriff's office, that he had been
in the United States for Is years,
had failed to enter this country
through a legal port of entry and
did not have citizenship papers.
During the questioning, Firpo
declared the automobile was stolen
by a man named Jack whom he
had known but four hours prior
to their departure from Los An
geles in the stolen machine. He
insisted the key and white slip were
given to him by his mysterious
companion.
Los Angeles officers will take
him north for trial,
