Ithcir expedition, looked the coun try over, listened to the taik, and ,he came to the , conclusion that : the, time wasn't ,rlpe yet but ;mlghtbe soon. So ho returned to the East, and Icame back to California In 1846. 'His 1846 expedition was so well timed that he was on the Job at (the psychological moment to raise -the American flag at Portsmouth square, across .Kearny street from the present San rFrancisco city hall, .and take over Califor nia 'for the United Stales. ALL that was clearly expansion ist plotting, designed toiln crease the territorial area of Ihe United States. .Fortunately, so 'far ixs California was concerned, It was accomplished practically without the shedding of blood, and' there has never been any re gret on California's part. But over the same issue (that 13, , expansion of , the borders of ihe i United States to, the Pacific) Ivc fought Mexico because of Texas, and scooped up New Mexi co, Arizona and much of Colo rado and Nevada as n result of the war. Wc would have fought any body else who might have oppos ed us In our design. As a matter of fact, .we were prepared to , fight the British, if necessary, over Oregon. We were a young and growing country, and we proposed to realize our destiny. RUSSIA is a young and growing republic-just emerging from near-barbarism into Ihe modern world. There Is Utile doubt that she knows what she wants, and less doubt that she will be willing and ABLE to fight to realize whatever she may regard as her destiny. Before condemning her, lei's take our own past Inlo considera tion. Army Seizure of Struck Hoquiam Mill Requested SEATTLE, Jan. 1.1. (API Operation by the army of the big Rayqiiicr, Inc., pulp ami paper mill at .Hoquiam, clused for the jast five weeks because of a Juris dictional labor dispute, will be re fiuested of the president, the re gional War Labor board an nounced here last night. "At the same time," the rosolu i .tion of the board sudd "the 12th j .Vegional VVLB strongly urges the j Ilayonier company, as one of the ,nost important conditions for the resumption of production, to .withdraw its damage suit against certain employees." : The CIO International Wood workers of America picket line. Which has been around the plant since it closed, was set up ntler the company had filed suit for SI 0-1,000 against C'lo workers which It accused of costing the i-ompany that much through a slowdown conspiracy. " The basis for the dispute and Hie picket line, however, Is In the Joiiyer standing Jurisdictional j IT COMES. By Charles V. Stanton RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S national service legislation, I proposed in his "quick-victory-' program, as placed before -congress, conies, we feel, under the heading of 'Hoo little and too:late." The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and other organizations of men and women who .fought jn the last .great .world conflict, have been crying for universal conscription of -manpower and wealth for 25 years. No ad ministration has given heed to the plea of the veterans. Now, with the tide turning . toward victory, .President Roosevelt tops his message to congress with a national service proposal. Several interpretations can be placed .upon his action in offering his suggestion at this time. First, to give him all possible credit, .we can take the as sumption he is belatedly, but sincerely, adopting a policy which should have been .effected years ago; It policy which should have. boon inaugurated nt the beginning of the pres ent, emergency, rather than near the end. Second, realizing the president to be an astute politician, we can look upon the proposal as being a red herring to draw the congress onto. a trail which will lead to a mass of con fused ideas and expose the legislative body to the fire of ad ministration snipers, with the hope of arousing public dis respect for congress ;and influencing the election of its members. Third, we can interpret his act to be an attempt to escape from an almost hopeless impasse he has brought upon him self. by attempting to pose as a friend of labor while at the same time originating, maintaining and controlling boards and agencies which. have been unfriendly to labor. The only hope of the present administration for a fourth term lies in the popularity of the president. The New Deal, as a party, could never hope to(win an election. It is the personality. of Mr. Roosevelt that has kept the administra tion in power and it is on the strength of his personality that the New Deal depends for the future. Organized labor has kept the .president. in-office. It won for him the third term. Without the full and complete sup port of labor, he cannot hope for a fourth term. This means that the President must either side with labor's demands against his own administrative organization, or find some means of escaping a showdown. :Philip Murray, president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, writing in the. February issue of America.ii magazine, says : "Meanwhile the action of many administrative agencies in .Washington has been far from .satisfactory. Labor appre ciates that President Roosevelt has traditionally been a ' friend of the workers, and It realizes that he is now deeply ' ongrossed in the vast problems of global .war, .sometimes to the exclusion of urgent domestic Issues. But it notes with regret that some of the wartime agencies, oreatcd under this administration, have a pronounced anti-labor bias. And wo note further that some of these agenoles are so inefficient, bungling and overlapping in their functions as to hurt the ss.i public interest and retard the prosecution of the war." ': The president-will need the support of the 0. I, O. if ho is to gain a fourth term. The statement of the C. J. O. presi dent indicates that organized labor is passing the buck squarely up to Mr. Roosevelt. If the president repudiates the, rulings of his own boards and bureaus, under labor pres sure, in order to assure the support he must have from labor, his prestige with other voters v.-ill be seriously impaired. On the other i hand, if he can, in turn, toss the buck into the lap of congress in the form of a national service bill, which would relieve him from the necessity of assuming personal responsibility for slapping organized labor in the face, and force congress to absorb the retaliatory blows, which are sure to come, it would be a stroke fully in keeping with his political, acumen. dispute between the CIO union, which claims 450 of the C!0 pro duction workers in the plant as members, and the AFL pulp and paper mill workers unions. , The AFL unions are bargain ing agents for the employees through an Industry-wide agree ment.

DIXON WITH THE AEF ON THE ITALIAN FRONT, Jan. 0 (De layed) I AP) Pvt. Billy -Miller, 21, a fast-talking doughboy from Peoria, HI., hoodwinked a Ger man lieutenant and ,18 enlisted men into believing they were surrounded and then .marched them single-handed to captivity across 600 yards of ,no man's land. Pvt. Miller pulled off the ex, ploit when he went into action for the first time' Thursday night as his company attacked a hill in the San Vittore area. Surrounded by 50 Germans while , he and a tew comrades were bringing some wounded and a prisoner 'to the, rear, Billy and his mates had to surrender. A platoon of 1!) German.", took charge of Billy. In a tunneled out cave where they put up for the ' night,, the Jerries- started talking about taking him back to a prison ;ump. The lieutenant, who sp ike , .English, told him what they wore saying. "You'll never make it," said Billy, lie knew he was at least a quarter of a mile in front of his own line, but he added, "we've got you surrounded. Lis ten!" Gunfire crackled outside, echo ing in the cave. They spent the night there. "Soft Bread" Decides Next day the lighting was still terrific, so the German pla toon moved only a short distance farther hack, this time to a farm house In the valley behind the hill. They drank some wine and found some bread," but you could hardly stick a knife into it," Billy said later. They asked him if American bread was that hard. "Oh, no," said Billy, who used to be a dougliroller in a Peoria army biscuit bakery. "American bread Is all fresh and soft." The Germans looked at one an ol her. . j Next day. the German lieuten j ant insisted that the time had I come to try to contact other Ger I man outfits. As he talked, Billy I looked out the window, j On a distant hill paralleling the valley lie saw troops moving. I It was worth a gamble, j "I tell you we've got this place j surrounded." he said. "Come out i side and I'll show you." i They stepped outside ami Hilly I pointed to the movement on the I hill. The lieutenant stepped back inside, talked to his men a mo ment, then came back lo Billv, I unbuckled his pistol belt and : handed it to him. ! "You are not our prisoner ! now." lie said. "We are your ; prisoners." So back across no man's land, Ihe five-foot five-Inch doughboy led the column of prisoners. Walking up to his lines, he turn ed. them in. together with seven Gorman automatics, nine hinocu lars and one machine pistol.
