In this instance it is not a bluff only and Japan will doubtless try to enforce her demand by force of arms.

This is great odds but before the trouble is settled there will he awful carnage, and the loss of life and the enormous destruc tion of property will be im mense, and the debt that will he piled up against these nations will he stupendous.

That statement is shockingly superlative, but there is every reason to believe that it is true. Paul Warburg's activities, for tune and financial interests con firm it. Mr. Warburg says that he be came a citi.en of the United States in the hope that he might serve this country by the pro motion of hanking ami currency reform; and that when President. Wilson asked him to accept a position on the Federal Reserve Board he consented because he ultimatum; the answer was not j considered that course to be at satisfactor; shedeclared war and j one and the same time a privi now a dozen nations are em-j lege and a duty.

Men should return to right wavs. About the War News News reports of the European war are unsatisfactory in many ways and necessarily so. The news is all censored and it is for the most part biased. It comes almost entirely from anti-Ger-man-Austra sources and is there fore to be weighed with this knowledge in view. Yet the re ports received in this country are not fictitious as some sup pose. The United Press secures voluminous reports by cable from the old country and the news is based on facts. The point to be borne in mind by the reader is that while the news re ports deal with actual events as they happen the reports are generally given out with a view to presenting the struggle in the most favorable light possible for this country or that country usually for the allies because Germany is cut off from com munication. Another feature which the reader should remem ber is that in this war struggles in which small bodies of troops are engaged are of slight con sequence. A force of 10,000 men is nothing in the present war game with millions of men in the field. Doubtless petty victorys are being won by both sides. It is generally predicted that in the near future a great interests; that he would divest himself of all financial relation ship which in any way might give rise to the suspicion of any motive save the desire to serve. It has been estimated that Mr. Warburg's income from these activities and interests he re nounces was something like .t:ltO,000 a year. I lis salary will be .112.000 a year. It is a fine example that this eminent man of finance presents. The application of it is not con fined to the consideration of men and motives in high oflice. It is pertinent to every branch of the public service from the highest to the lowest. It is idealism made practical by this man of money. It is a new ex emplification of the great moral truth that it is better to give than to receive better to serve than to be served. If it were the custom to seek office upon the sole conviction that there was ability to serve, and as holding the public good above private advantage, what an ideal system of government we soon would have from town ship to National administration! The country has need of the tribe of Warburgs; and we may at least hope that it will multi ply. Telegram.

In and out of the company's Oakland Pier terminal, which is on the Western division, there are over a thousand trains a day to serve the public. This is more trains in and out the terminal than any other one railroad in the world can claim. All the wash outs and other troubles Spring gave the railroads are things of the past, of course; hence, in creased efficiency in trains keep ing up with the schedules. The Lark, recognized as one of the most convenient, made one of the best records for through trains, in her report for Los Angeles and San Francisco terminals. Chinese Exhibit For the first time in the history of China that nation will have machinery exhibits at a world exposition when the Panama Pacific International Exposition opens in 1915. China has asked and has been granted 2,000 square feet in the Palace of Machinery, the largest of the exposition structures. Workmen have been at work for several weeks on the Chinese pavilion on the exposition grounds and the structure prom ises to be one of the most inter esting of those being built to represent forty foreign nations.
