Adv. "WASHINGTON. July 26. The war situation, particularly with reference to developments on the Russian front, was brought into the Senate debate to day by Senator Borah during discus sion of the river and harbor bilL lie spoke on the need of curtailing ex penditures because of the uncertainty of the immediate future. ".Never at -a time in this struggle has the outlook been as serious as at this time." Senator Borah declared. "Russia, to all appearances, is out of the conflict because of internal con flicts. What does that mean to the people of the Vnited States? Count a more serious message come over our wires and affect the lives of millions of our boys than the fact that Russia is breaking down? "We should pray for the success of Kerensky as never before. His failure would mean that millions of American boys will find graves on European bat tlefields. No more serious condition could confront us than confronts the allies now. The situation is here and the hour of sacrifice has arrived. And will the Senate stop and parley over money going into the improvement of creeks?" Nation Must Realise Fact. In addition to the Russian situation. senator Koran declared that the sub marine question, which some weeks ago, was believed to be favorable to the allies, has now become "distinctly fa vorable to the Teutonic powers." with reports showing the number of sink ings increasing. Then France too is being gradually worn down, he as serted. America being in the war, 1 there practically as a guarantee of the financial standing of the allies, he said, ana the conservation ox llnazices was Imperative. "Has the time not come when we re alize that we are in this war?" asked Senator Borah. "We should proceed to legislate upon these measures as if the enemy were at our very gates. Does anyone suppose that the central pow ers, with Russia giving in, submarine war growing more effective, apparent ly, every day, with France at the height of her fighting powers, would discuss peace except on Germany's terms?" "ot Time to Quibble Over Creeks, The American people. Senator Borah declared", should have presented to them definitely and specifically the terms Land conditions on which they are fight Ing. Give . them an American Issue to fight for and an American issue to die for," he declared, adding that "if .th senate realized that this war was an American war they would not be sitting here passing on the advisability of vot ing millions of dollars for creeks down which a duck cannot pass.""' Senator Borah disclaimed Intimating that the United States should not bo in the war. "But we can't do anything more help ful,'.' he said, "than to make it known that this is an American war, with American institutions involved. Yet if you go before any popular audfcunee they will say it has been treated as far as a European war to settle propo sitions in Europe." Referring to the recent Russian "no annexation" peace proposal. Senator Borah continued: "This Is An American Mar." Borah. "That met with 710 response from any of the allies. The United States could have taken no more important step than to have endorsed that decla ration. If the United States had tak en a bold stand in favor of peace, Rus sia would be 100 per cent more ef fective today as a fighting force. But the United States waited for some other powers directing the war to de fine this position. "I did not vote for war." he con cluded, "out of sympathy with France, much as I admire her, but because our American rights were trampled on and our people murdered, with the pros pect of continued outrages and Na tional degradation. I voted for war to make safe our own blessed republic and give dignity, honor and security to this democracy of the United States "I did not vote for war to spread democracy throughout Europe, al though I would be glad to see every king and prince exiled and every dynasty broken forever. This has be come an. American war, a fight for American principles to.be discontinued when American interests are safe gnarded and satisfied. It Is no longer a war to spread democracy in Europe or for rehabilitating European coun tries. It Is a war showing that the United States, though slow to act is swift to avenge."

The annerles here have many large orders for the United States Government and the allies. In one factory alone there are 20.000 cases of packed fruit for the British commissary department.

Harvesters are reported to have joined cannery employes and are demanding higher wages, A report that bo soldiers irom camp Fremont, at Palo Alto, had reported and wero patrolling the streets of Santa Clara proved erroneous tonight.

Some time later a detach ment from the camp did arrive, but they took the man back to Palo Alto under guard. The commanding officer could not assign any reason for th man'a actions.
