A glance at the December report of Weather Observer Paddock, pub lished In the Courier today, will show ' that the weather man at his worst Is not such a very bad fellow after all providing yon consider his deport ment in southern Oregon. Deceniber In th country, east and west, was marked by storm and punctuated by frost and snow. Here at Grants Pass the coldest moment was one when the mercury touched 17 degrees above sero for a few minutes one night But that "cold spell" was unaccom panied by wind, and a scant two inches of snow has fallen during the entire month, that to stay but a few brief hours. When there Is a whisper of winter in the Rogue valley, there Is a howling blizxard at about every other point of the compass, even Cali fornia getting more of It this winter than has the Rogue. THE NEWS DURING 1915. - Emperors, statesmen, warriors, and a staff of newspaper correspondents circling the globe have worked to gether In the columns of the Courier during the last twelve months to - rrmVo 1915 the moat wonderful Tear : for news In the history of Journalism. ; Through the United Press, the Courier has been enabled to tap the : European war areas, the orient and domestic neid ior exclusive news ' throughout the' year. The list of cor respondents who have given the Courier its brilliant stories of the war . is headed by Ed L. Keen, the Euro pean manager of the' United Press. . Among those associated with bin) have been William G. Shepherd at various battle fronts; William Philip Slmms in Paris, Carl W. Ackerman in Berlin, Henry Wood In Rome and southwestern Europe, Wilbur S. For rest In London, Charles P. Stewart with the Ford peace expedition and others. Starting ahead of all rival news re ports last New Tear's day with the story of the destruction of the British battleship Formidable, the Courier has received over the United Press wires during 1915 a continuous . stream of similarly exclusive stories When the Russians were finally driven out of East Prussia last win ' ter, it was the Courier and the United Press that had the story of the titanic struggle in the northern snows. When Count Zeppelin felt the time had come to defend his air raid ing monsters, he did so through the ' courier and the United Press. Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chancellor, made the same selection to announce to the world after the fall of Warsaw, what Germany was still fighting for. The prime minister of Bulgaria, through the Courier and the United Press, proclaimed Bui rarla'a final terms for intervention in the war just before German dlplo macy won Its victory at Sofia. The fall of the French ministry, the finding of the body of Daniel Frohman, the description of the first Zeppelin raid over the heart of Lon don, the story of the war's first battle . j tbetwpen submarines and the Bul garian attack. on the American flag at Monastlr are a few other events THCLIFFE TROUBLE 1E1 FOR HIED STATES By Lord Northclllfe. (Written tor the United Press. Copyrighted 1916 by the United Press.) London, Jan. 8. -When some months ago I had the honor of com municating with at least 50.000,000 Americans, through the United Press I plainly expressed the belief that we are In for a long, long war. Event have followed the lines Indicated. I do not pose as a propnet, but 1 know something about the thoroughness of the Anglo-Saxon fibre as compared with the Prussians, and I know that each day that brings access to our strength is weakening them. The German point of view toward the war is frankly that of money making and territorial aggression ag grandisement Germany's treasurer, Helfferlcn, constantly dilates upon the indemnities that Germany Is go ing to get Germany hopes. In addi tion, to obtain the Belgian Congo- She was under the Impression that the wealth of Prance would pour into her lap within a few weeks after the outbreak of the war. England was not expected to enter. Our pacificist, like yours, repeatedly informed the world that we did not raise our boys to be soldiers. Eng land's entrance Into the struggle was a great surprise to our government as tt was to the Germans, for we had, with one "or two exceptions, a paci ficist administration. But aa soon as Germany entered Belgium the com mon, people insisted on the defense of Belgium and Its king. , The out burst that followed In Germany was like the rage of a tiger balked of Its prey. Germany consoled Itself fcy the thought that John Bull was an effete old plutocrat, whose sons and daughters were given up to sport and amusements. Our army was little larger than yours. The kaiser in nis lamous Aix la Chapelle address referred to of the last year the Courier; through the United Press, was able to give its readers in advance of its rivals. Count Oku ma, the Japanese premier, sent to the Courier over its United Press wire exclusively its story of Japan's ultimatum to China concerning the readjustment of in ternal relations in the Orient. When Yuan Shi Kal was chosen emperor of China he, too, made sole use of the Courier and the United Press to announce the reasons for his acceptance of the office. Nearer home, JohnD. Rockefeller told of his objections to the Anglo French war loan In an exclusive United Press story to the Courier. Over the Washington wire of the United Press the Courier was lnforra ed of William J. Bryan's reasons for resigning as secretary of state long before the news was known else where. So throughout the year the United Press wires have brought to the Courier beat after heat and scoop succeeding scoop. FEAIt HUEItTA'S IIXXKSS MAY BE RISK TO ESCAPE (By United Press Leased Wire.) El Paso, Jan. 5. Agents of the de partment of Justice resumed-today their watch on General Huerta's house, suspecting that his Illness is a ruse to offset the San Antonio Jury's Investigation of charges that he vio lated American neutrality. Previous ly they had let down the bars. A mysterious auto load of Mexi cans left the general's house last night and rushed to the station. For a time it was believed that Huerta had escaped with them. CHICAGO CUBS SOLD TO CIIA8 WEEGIIMAX Cincinnati, Jan. 6. Charles P. Taft, owner of the Chicago National league citify announced this affornoon that he has agreed to sell the Cubs to Charles Weeghman, former owner of the Chicago Federals. Tho transfer will be made January 20. Weegh man will pay $500,000 for 90 per cent of the Cub stock. 8ld. Edith What made yon so lata to day? Edytbe Well, you see, I took tny shoe to the cobbler's to hove tbeu) heeled and be soled tht'in.PblliuIil phlu Leiluer , , PREDICTS it as "Sir John French's contemp tible little army." Since then, by voluntary enlistment, we possess ono of the world's largest armed forces. Your position is not at all unlike ours before the war. Yon are as eaten up with commercialism and pacificism as we were. And you are not in such a good position for fighting as we are because of the lack of unity of races composing the United States. On the other hand, you offer the same temptation to any hungry, ag gressive enemy that we did. Troops can be moved to your 'shores from hostile nations In little more time it took to more bodies from New York to Boston 300 years ago. The fact that we have transported at least 91,200,000 across the sea shows that any European or oriental nation could, it you were unprepared (as you are), ship them to you. Personally, I doubt that the United States will really prepare for war. There will be an immense amount of talk, as with us, and you will have people like our late Lord Roberts preaching wisdom, but his views will be drowned In such melodies as "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier," and so on. One day the Laplanders or Green landers or some other nation (you can change the words as you choose) will notice that you are a rich, paci ficist country and will come and take what they want. How would you like tor us to Interfere when they had ac complished part of their task and you were not yet ready, and for us to cry "Peace, when, say, the Laplanders or Greenlanders were occupying Ore gon and Washington states, and per haps California, places, as you know, extremely accessible to the Lap lander. This is how we feel about peace making before we are ready to Impose form a n think inweHsarr for the free- dom of the world. EXPECT STRENUOUS OFFENSIVE BY THE ALLIES IN SPRING Budapest, Jan. 1 (Delayed). A great offensive by the allies on all fronts in the spring is expected by the Teutons. Hungarian officials, however, are certain that the move will meet with defeat. '.'The allies fall to take into ac count our military position, how ever," said Count Andrassy today to the United Press. "We are situated so that we can help each other. We can send men and resources to any front at any time. We can concen trate something that the enemy can not do. This makes our victory cer tain, because it overbalances our op ponents' resources." Contrary to .Berlin opinion, the Hungarians believe that there will be ho early peace. ' "I think it will be a long, long war," continued the count. "There Is no chance of peace In sight at 'pre sent. We could make peace next week, but the allies do not desire it; they are not yet convinced of our superiority. ' "But tho world Is becoming hys terical. Even neutral nations are im patient. It is a sbame for humanity that we can not make peace now." The count expressed admiration for the manner in which King Con stantino has handled the Greek situ ation. "He will keep his nation neutral and save her from the disaster that wrecked Belgium and Servla," said the count. "Greece will Increase her territory without sacrificing men and money and without risking her fu ture. No one can say that King Con stantino Is traitorous." He predicted success for Teutonic arms in Mesopotamia. "I see that the English were forced to withdraw from Bagdad," ho com mented.' "And when the Turks bring up reinforcements, the British will lose what they now hold of Mesopo tamia, and presently the Suez canal will too in danger." The Way It Goes. Llttlo children who are permitted to look at a tarantula In a bottle are ex pected to gnln some valuable lesson from tbe grewsome sight, ulthough no body knows Just wbnt that lesson Is A good inuny of tho models uud horrl ble examples that are bold up before the rest of us are of Just as vague vslue.-Judite. MASON TELLS WHAT IB MOVES IAN , New York, Jun. 5. A warnlug to America to prepare for a probable j conflict with Japan Is given by Lord ;Nnr'tbfllfto today in hl copyrighted ' interview given to tho United Press, when ho point out that America's wealth and defonselessness will in evitably persuade some ono Jo come and take what he wants. Outwardly, he veils his warning hy suggesting the "I.nplandws" will be the Invaders, but he reveals his Inner meaning by the suggestion that "you can change the words a you choose," and 'by describing an Invasion of the Paclflo coast The serlousnoss of his warning Is emphasised by the possibility of a Teuton-Japanese understanding after the war. Such a situation may bo forecasted by the tact' that German prisoners are being favored tn Japan, while It Is reported from Toklo that the Nipponese will not block the kaiser's efforts after the war to re gain Germany's loat prestige In China. Moreover, there Is a growing dis satisfaction in England over the Brit ish alliance with Japan. Canada, Australia and New Zealand are hos tile to oriental Intimacies of John Bull, and these portions of the British empire are destined to have a wider Influence In International policies than they have had heretofore. They oppose future pledges of British sup port to Japan In case she Is Involved In war. This colonial disapproval is prob ably the reason why Great Britain does not sanction having the Japanese fight with the other allies in Europe. The colonies doubtless will favor an understanding with America over Japsn, and Lord North clt ft e has prob ably sensed the feeling of England on this point. His warning may well be cryptic prophecy that Japan and Germany will be found together In a now alli ance in the future, with the United States ss their common enemy. Then America might have to rely on Great Britain for support. Indeed, It would be inevitably newsoary if s;ich a com bination modo simultaneous attacks against the Atlantic and Pnolfln coasts and cought Amylca unprepared. i WILSON'S r.lBlNKT WILL MKKT FKIDAY MOItXINO!
