Optimistic Spirit Prevails.
" San Diego, CkU Feb. 1. (P. K. S.)
The expense. of restoring normal con
ditions in San Diego city ad county
. "will toe heavy, but will provide work
for everyone in the city and county
? tor a long time. It is believed the to-
. " tal to be . spent on reconstruction and
restoration in . this' county .will -approximate
f7.OW.000, Yndst of It to be
provided by bond issues. 1 Next to the
city and county, the ' railroads will
spend the most.
The men here feel that "what is true
i of San Diego Is true also of southern
California and consequently look for
ward to heavy pay rolls everywhere
-and thousands of unemployed again at
- work with a consequent era of unpre
cedented prosperity.

NO MAN CAN BRING
U. S. INTO WAR, SAYS
WILSON AT CHICAGO
. Cfcicasro, Feb. 1. I. N. S.) Presi
dent Wilson, - last night solemnly
warned. 5000 men and women In the
auditorium that "no man can compe
tently say whether the United' States
will be drawn Into the war."
"Tne navy i rad) at jty time to
go Jnto war," the president said. "It
is efficient, though inadequate."
The preaident stirred the assemblage
to vigorous applause by declaring that'
"This war was brought on by rulers
and not by the people."
Consent of People Seeded.
The applause lasted for several sec
onds. When It subsided the preaident
continued:
"And I thank God there is no man in
America who can bring war on with
out the consent of the people."
This stirred the crowd again to vig
orous applause.
It was the president's fifth speech
of the day. He had journeyed from
Cleveland to Milwaukee and back to
Chicago since midnight Sunday. He
did not show the effects of his arduous
day. He was, if anything, more vig
orous in his delivery than ever. He
seemed Inspired by his bic audience.
Discusses Army and Havy.
The president after dwelling at
length oothejrave, danger of being
drawn into" the war, plunged into a
detailed discussion , of the navy and
the army and their needs. As earlier
in the day he praised highly the effi
ciency, of our navy as constituted, he
'declare 1 however, that tho number of
vese,s and men must be Increased.
In discussing the war and the
chaicea of involving the United States,
the president said:
"I must admit that I have been
carefui not to read newspapers re
ports or the details of the war. I only
wanted to see it in Its largest form,
so that I could see America's task and
duty.
America a STatlon of Peaoe.

mained neutral," the ' president said.
""And they don't fel the conviction of
America as a nation of peace.
"We are much more ready to lay
down our lives for a thought rather
than' for a dollar. Many think we
are : holding off because We make
money while others are dying. That
is the most cruel misunderstanding
of all.-
The president continued his arraign
ment of those who allow their per
sonal rrejudlces to get away with
their Judgment.
"I wonder what their idea of Amer
icanism Is?" he asked.
Has a Double Duty. x
Later he repeated his statement of
having a double duty.'
"Tou have laid upon me explicitly
the double obligation of maintaining
the honor and the peace of the United
States." . :- . -' -
In describing the navy's needs, the
president declared that In the past
we haver had a definite goal In sighu
Now, he declared, a . real proswam has
been outlined and win oe -carnea on

, "We are neither' poor nor niggardly.
But' we don't intend to pay more than
It is worth.. For that reason I have
urged congress to build an armor

our own battleships. That wllj help

- In emphatic tones the -. president
asserted that" he is .absolutely con

The Otay dam, which went out with
such disastrous results near San Diego
recently, was one of a number made
the subject of special investigation by
C. El Hlckok, civil and hydraulic engi
neer of Portland, who,, for the last
two years, has been In southern Cali

James D. Schuyler, an eminent engi
neer, expressed doubts as to the sta
bility of Jthe Otay dam In a book pub
lished in 1908, under the title of "Res.
ervoire for Irrigation. Water Power
and Domestic Water Supply,- which
attracted wide attention among engi

or whether there may be grounds for

Of time. The reservoir has never filled
since the completion of the dam, and
until it is filled and remains full a
considerable period without develop
ing signs of weakness or extensive
leakage, the success of the novel de
sign cannot be known." Mr. Schuy
ler says; Mt has been feared that a
rupture Of the plates might be pro
duced by the strains of utieaual settle
ment." This,-, is precisely what hap
pened when the dam filled, . ys Mr.
Hlckok.-- .
In this connection Mr. HIckoigsgrys
that the stream beds of southta iCali-
fofnla are dry for 10 months-In the
year, and often longer; and that the
unusually heavy rains coming at in
tervals jof years sweep , off the barren
verdureless hillsides' and subject all
reservoir dams to the most, severe
stralnSf The dlf f icultlea . of transpor
tation and the cost of cement has
made cheap construction of dams a
temptation, whereas the dams should
be of the very best possible construc
tion. "
