A

Sweeping down the valley the great
flood of water carried people, live
stock and valuable farm property to de
struction.
Scores o f residents are
missing.
Houses on 26 ranches were
swept away.
The first
news of the
disaster
reached here late Saturday.
There had been no communication with
the district since the disaster occurred,
as wires were down and roads were
impassable.
A t least 25 Japanese men, women
and children were reported
to be
among those lost.
An area 15 miles long and two miles
wide is devastated.
Rescuers were unable to reach the
scene of the disaster, as all bridges
were washed out and the
swollen
streams were so treacherous that it
was impossible to launch boats to go
to the rescue.
Several bodies have been seen float
ing in the flood waters, according to
reports received here.
The coroner confirms etimatess that
place the loss of life in the flood at 50.
He said that many of the bodies had
been washed out to sea.
The breaking of the dam released
11,000,000,000 gallons of water, which
rushed down through the thickly popu
lated and narrow Otay valley.
The property lose w ill amount to at
least $1,000,000.
Because of the fact
that they were isolated by the break

means of reaching other communities,
hundreds of fam ilies in the vicinity
are facing a food famine.

Louis D. Brandéis, Boston Lawyer,
Named for Supreme Court Bench
Washington, D. C .— President W il
son Saturday sent to the senate the
nomination o f Louis D. Brandéis, law
yer, of Boston, to be associate justice
of the Supreme court in succession to
the late Justice Lamar.
The nomina
tion was a complete Burprise in official
circles. Mr. Brandéis’ name had not
been mentioned publicly in connection
with the place.
Mr. Brandéis has been in the public
eye fo r some years as a prolific w riter
on economic topics and for his connec
tion with labor and trust legislation.
He attained some prominence six
years ago as attorney fo r the interests
which sought the removal from office
o f Secretary B allinger in the noted
Pinchot B allinger controversy.
He
was conusel later on fo r the shippers
who opposed the general increases in
freight rates before the Interstate
commerce commission, and during the
same period he was at the forefront of
those who were demanding an investi
gation of the financial affaira of the
N e w Haven railroads.
Mr. Brandéis represented the Ore
gon Industrial W e lfa re
commission
last year in the case o f O ’H ara vs.
Stettier, in the United States Supreme
court, givin g the oral argument and
preparing one of the briefs.
The case
is still pending in the court.
Several
years ago Judge Brandéis appeared be
fore the Supreme court in the same
capacity in the interest of the Oregon
10-hour law.
In this case he appeared
aa counsel for Illinois and Ohio as

be devoted mainly to a complete re
organization of the regular army on a
basis of approximately 235,000 men
with the colors, increasing Secretary
Garrison’s proposals in that respect by
nearly 100,000 men.
Senator Chamberlain, chairman of
the senate military committee, said he
was confident his committee would
turn out without great delay a well-
rounded bill providing for all the ele
ments of a national army of 1,000,000
or more men.

outstanding issues be
tween Japan and China.
There is a conviction in official cir
cles here that any action at this time
likely to have results to w arding off
the new Japanese demands must be
taken by the United States practically
alone.
W ith every evidence of sympathetic
interest by the European entente allies
in the attitude of opposition which the
United States took when the proposals
in the “ group five” originally were
submitted, it is believed none of these
powers w ill be inclined to take issue
with Japan at a moment when they
are leaning heavily on their Oriental
ally, not only for munitions of war,
but for military and naval protection
of their interests in the Orient.
The close study that has been made
in Washington of the proposals em
bodied in “ group five” has only con
firmed officials in their original belief
that if accepted in full by China, with
out protest from other nations, they
would lead not only to material and
industrial, but even political domina
tion of China by Japan.
Japanese advisers for the Chinese
government with resulting exclusion
of all other foreign advisers from
Pekin, it is felt, would place China
completely under the political qontrol
o f Japan.
W h ile not prepared to make an issue
on that point, however, the State de
partment is convinced the other pro
visions of "g ro u p fiv e " finally would
close to American cbmmerce and en
terprise the open door in China.
General Disapproves Government
Manufacture of War Munitions
Washington, D. C.— Estimates were
given the senate military committee
Thursday by Brigadier General Croz-
ier, chief of ordnance, showing that
a plant costing $400,000,000, operated
by a force o f 760,000 workmen, would
bo required to manufacture ammuni
tion and w ar materials necessary to
keep an army of a million men in the
field and equip an additional million
recruits.
General Crozier
strongly
disap
proved any pro|iosal for government
monopoly of war supplies, insisting
that best results could be accomplished
by relying on private establishments
to supplement the output of govern
ment plants in time of war.
The committee received from Secre
tary Garrison a draft of a tentative
measure suggested by Senator Cham
berlain, chairman of the committee,
which would provide for the authoriza
tion for the proposed continental army
in general terms only, leaving the de
tails of tbe proposed system to be
worked out by W a r department regu
lations. The original draft of a bill
submitted by the W a r department con
tained an outline of the entire system.
Mr. Garrison pointed out to the con
gressional committee, when he appear
ed before it, however, that as the plan
largely was an experimental one, it
would be wise to give the President
wide discretionary powers to meet
problems which could be solved In the
light of experience yet to be gained.
