Col. John R. Kelly) Assistant Chief of Staff for Military Intelligence Ninth Corps Area A little over a century and a quarter ago, Washington, in his first annual message to Congress, said: "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." This country, although it has found Washington's advice good and his principles sound on most national questions, has never seen fit to test the truth of this statement by giving it a trial. We have, however, succeeded in proving that to be unprepared for war is one of the least effectual means of preserving peace for it has always been our policy to remain unprepared and this has not prevented us from engaging during the past century, from 1812 to 1917, in five major wars, a number equaled only by turkey, Austria, France and Russia, and exceeded only by Serbia, with a record of six. During this same period Switzerland, surrounded by powerful, aggressive neighbors, has engaged in but one war. It is certain that Switzerland's well known policy of preparedness has kept her out of at least two others and who knows how many more? She at least, has proved that Washington was right. general public. Units of the regular establishment and the National Guard, which constitute our first line of defense, must be ready to take the field without delay, and their actual preparation should consist only in recruiting them to full strength and arming, equipping and completing the training of the additional personnel needed for this purpose. Behind the first line we have the great body of reserves which must constitute the bulk of our armies. The units of this force have been allocated to sections of the country according to population. Reserve officers have been assigned to local units and the "Defense Test" will be a trial of their knowledge of the duties which will automatically devolve upon them, to recruit, shelter, supply, equip, train and otherwise care for their respective organizations. The War Department has not reached final conclusions as to how some of the questions which are bound to arise are going to be solved and it is believed that the results of the defense test will be of great benefit in the preparation of future plans. Never before in the history of this country have our citizens been asked to give serious thought to the problems confronting this nation in the event of an emergency until war was actually at out doors. In the past these problems have had to be solved under the pressure of necessity and expediency when mistakes were paid for in blood and treasure. Although there is not a war cloud in sight, all patriotic citizens will be raked on September 12th to play the same parts they would be called upon to play in time of national peril, and it is hoped that the demonstration will bring home to the American people the fact that it is necessary to have some preliminary organization carried out there is no body can Democrat revenue it is declaring

During this same period Switzerland, surrounded by powerful, aggressive neighbors, has engaged in but one war. It is certain that Switzerland's well known policy of preparedness has kept her out of at least two others and who knows how many more? She at least, has proved that Washington was right. We failed to learn the lesson of preparedness in 1812, in 1846, in 1861 and in 1899, and our last example of unreadiness in 1917, when our deficiencies in preparedness were so mercilessly exposed, is still fresh in our minds. 1917 showed us to be not only unprepared to fight, but even unprepared to be in preparation. The million men assumed to be ready to spring to arms over night were confronted with the difficulty of not knowing where to leap and having no arms to which to spring. Although the possibility of our being drawn into the World War had been recognized for many months, there were no plans to meet the situation, our officials knew not which way to turn, confusion reigned supreme, and in spite of our strenuous efforts and unlimited money, with the entire resources of the country strained to the breaking point, it was a year and more before our first divisions were ready to fight, and at the battle of St. Mihiel, 17 months after our entry in the war, General Pershing had to depend largely on French artillery and planes and upon British bombing squadrons to make up the deficiencies which still existed in the American army. With the lessons of the world war still fresh in mind, Congress, on June 4, 1920, placed on our statute books, as a part of the law of the land, the National Defense Act and created the Army of the United States, which consists of the Regular Army, the National Guard and Organized Reserves. The first two forming our first echelon of defense and the latter our second line, on which our great dependence must rest in case we become involved in a war of any magnitude. The act provides that it shall be the duty of the War Department to prepare plans for national defense and for the mobilization of the nation and its material resources in an emergency. Under this provision the War Department has prepared plans and with the approval of the President has deserved these problems have had to be solved under the pressure of necessity and expediency when mistakes were paid for in blood and treasure. Although there is not a war cloud in sight, all patriotic citizens will be asked on September 12th to play the same parts they would be called upon to play in time of national peril, and it is hoped that the demonstration will bring home to the American people the fact that it is necessary to have some preliminary organization in order to avoid the dangers of confusion and delay, if war comes. It is hoped that the whole question of national defense and the necessity for preparedness will be brought to the attention of the American people and that all will come to realize the truth of Washington's century old message. "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM Democrats are stopped by the action of the New York Convention from criticising the Republican platform on the ground that it is evasive. The best they can do along this line is to institute comparisons as to degrees of evasiveness, and from that pastime they will be able to derive nothing worth while for their party. Mr. Bryan, if we recall aright, took the Republicans briskly to task for not being more specific in their declaration of principles and policies and Mr. Bryan was one of the strongest contenders in the convention for a plank that would condemn the Ku Klux Klan without naming it—the very thing the Republicans did with reference to the hooded order. It is not to say that Mr. Bryan was on the wrong side of this question. The whole proceeding of the Democratic convention was to give the Klan an importance which if does not deserve. Even the final and determining vote contributed to that end. It would have been heeded from the cutset. The rank and file of the party will be more and more convinced of that fact as the campaign develops. As it turned out, the convention was maneuvered into sharper alignment and more bitter division on this Klan question than on any other of the convention up to the adoption of the platform. A rancor of spirit was thus engendered that will not easily be allowed, and this on an issue that classifies its merits as a minor issue. The first two forming our first echelon of defense and the latter our second line, on which our great dependence must rest in case we become involved in a war of any magnitude. The act provides that it shall be the duty of the War Department to prepare plans for national defense and for the mobilization of the nation and its material resources in an emergency. Under this provision the War Department has prepared plans and with the approval of the President has designated September 12, the sixth anniversary of the battle of St. Mihiel, as "Defense Test Day", the primary purpose of which is to enable our people to visualize the initial processes necessary to muster our forces for national defense. It is to be a day given to patriotic gatherings by citizens of each community during which everyone will learn his place and task in the defense of the country should our security be threatened. It will be a demonstration of our military organization and plans, and of our dependence upon the great body of citizen soldiers, supported by the patriotism of every community throughout the land. In the world war, after enormous expenditures and serious loss of time, masses of untrained individuals were concentrated in a few centers distant from home ties and associations where they were segregated and trained under the greatest difficulties. Profiting by these experiences the plan today contemplates skeleton units, partially trained in advance, which can be concentrated locally when necessary. In an emergency, the change from peace strength to war footing must be rapid and, to be effective, must be without confusion, and the transition is dependent upon the perfection of the plans and their comprehension by the It would have been heeded from the cutset. The rank and file of the party will be more and more convinced of that fact as the campaign develops. As it turned out, the convention was maneuvered into sharper alignment and more bitter division on this Klan question than on any other of the convention up to the adoption of the platform. A rancor of spirit was thus engendered that will not easily be allayed, and this on an issue that classifies on its merits as a minor issue. If the Democratic party is disposed to thank its accredited representatives for bringing it into this posture it must be easily satisfifiable. It is bound to regret the injection into the campaign of a racial and religious question such as that which arose and flourished in the convention. Nothing could be more unprofitable for any party. The particular wording of the plank signifies little in view of the asperities and divisions that preceded the adoption of the plank. The seeds of party dissension have been sown. The sowing of them will have its effect on the ticket, let the candidates now be who they may. As for the platform as a whole, it seems to have been drawn with the broad purpose, first, of condemning the Republican party and, second, of making it next to impossible to "pin the party down" to specific outright positions on various issues. There is nothing for instance, on immigration save a short pronouncement in favor of Asiatic exclusion, which the whole country endorses without respect to party. There is no specific declaration that the United States should join the International Court of Justice; and the question of membership in the league of nations is disposed of with a proposal for a popular referendum to be ANAHIM GAZETTE for establishment and defense, must be held without delay, preparation should bring them to full equipping and training of the additions for this purpose. We have the laws which must be our armies. The been allocated country according to the officers have units and the trial of their duties which will upon them, to equip, train or their respects. It has not reached to how some are bound to resolve and it results of the degrant benefit in future plans.

A war cloud citizens will be 12th to play the call upon national peril, and demonstration American pooils necessary to carry organization There is a considerable departure, nobody can say how far, from the old Democratic doctrine of "a tariff for revenue only." On the income tax it is declared that the measure passed recently passed by Congress is an illustration of Democratic policy, but we are not told that it is a definition of Democratic policy. The definition remains to be given. About the only tangible thing in the platform which is more specific than the Republican platform on the subject of agriculture is the declaration in favor of "the establishment of an export marketing corporation or commission in order that the exportable surplus may not establish the price of the whole crop. In other words, the Democratic party ostensibly is willing to go further than the Republican party in "putting the government into business." The Esch-Cummins transportation act is denounced as a practical failure and the subject is dismissed with the broad statement that it should be rewritten. It is not proposed to repeal the act to abolish the Labor board or to wipe out the "recapture" clause. The plank on Muscle Shoals is cryptic. The Republican party is accused of failure to enforce the prohibition laws, but the Democratic platform instead of a specific pledge to enforce it, follows the path marked one in Cleveland by declaring that the Democratic party "pledges itself to respect and enforce the Constitution and all laws." There is little to choose between the two platforms as to war, national defense, waterways and aviation. The Republican platform favors ratification of the child labor amendment. The Democratic platform artfully dodges while pretending friendship for it. The so-called "Progressives" who met at Cleveland on July 4th must carried out under an act of Congress.

This is true as to railroad legislation, government ownership, industrial relations, the federal courts and other issues. MINING IN CALIFORNIA Metal mining in California was rather active during the first six months of 1924, according to the Department of the Interior, as shown by reports received from the miners by J. M. Hill, of San Francisco office of the Geological Survey. Most of the activity has been directed to the development of gold chartz mines rather than to production, for the output of gold and silver was less than in the first six months of 1923. Five of the large Mother Lode mines, the Argonaut, Plymouth, Shawmut, Central Eureka and Moore, are deepening their shafts. The place output was small because of drought; a large number of hydraulic properties in the Klamath and Sierra mountains had almost no water and therefore made but small output. The dredges maintained production at about the normal rate, but fewer boats are working. The alver mines, particularly the California Rand curtailed production in order to carry on extensive development. The lead producers in the southern part of the state have apparently been working at the normal rate. The production of copper has been further increased; the rate during the first six months of 1924 was about 4,000,000 pounds a month. The work of development at the Engels mine may restrict the output there during the rest of the year. In Amadour county the Argonaut, Moore, Plymouth and Central Eureka mines are keeping well up with their operations, and several small properties are being developed. In Butte county the output is as usual largely SUMMONS IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE META SOPHIE DOROTHEA ZEYN, WILHELMINA JOHANA HOLCOMB, and MARIE L.

The largest operations in Calaveras county are at the Calaveras copper mine, whose plant at Copperopolis is active, and at the Carson Hill mines at Melones, but many smaller properties are being operated notably the Finnegan, Easy, Lamphear, Glenn and Rigney, Wolverine, Ford, Golden Eagle, Hesperites and Victor. In Eldorado county the Guilford, Ingraham, Sliger, and Hines-Qilbert were in operation. In Inyo county the Darwin and Estelle mines were productive but the Slate Range was idle. The gold mines east of Lone Pine were being further developed. In Mariposa county the Princeton mine was productive, and some of the old mines on the Mariposa Grant were being worked. At Blind Springs, in Mono county the Comanche Mining and Reduction company has done considerable development work. In Nevada County there has been a continuation of the active development of many properties in the Grass Valley section, where at least sixteen mines are productive.
