DECEMBER ON THE ROGUE.
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.

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

the rest of us are of Just as vague

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.

Wilson will call his cabinet together
