RUSSIA READY TO RbNEW WAR AND PLAY LAST CARD
Portsmouth. Aug. 1.". At the morn
ing session of the peace conference to
day, consideration of articles four,
which relates to the l.iao Tang penin
sula and the surrender of the Russian
leases, was begun. As the cession of
Sakhalin is the fifth article, the nat
ural deduction would he that today
would witness the collision and possi
bly the deadlock.
Hut tt appeared more likely that the
question of the cession of the Island,
upon which neither side Is prepared to
yield, when reached, by mutual agree
ment would be postponed until the
end.
The policy of each side, as under
stood, is to maneuver to place the re
sponsibility of rupture on the other.
It Is regarded as practically certain
that neither side will Insist at this
time upon precipitating the. situation
which will decide this Issue. If in the
end an agreement shall be found to be
impossible, the world will know and
be able to form its judgment of the
merits of the respective contentions,
and place the blame for prolongation
of carnage in the far east.
The very fact that ultimately the
world will be able to fix the responsi
bility for rupture, that in the final an
alysis the two countries are on trial
before the public opinion of the world,
constitutes the main hope ot tne suc
cessful outcome of the negotiations.
Article three was agreed to yester
day, it developed today, was incorrect
ly stated to be the cession of the Chi
nese Western railroad. That article
will come later. The third article per
tained to restoration of Chinese admin
istration in the province of Manchuria,
and was a necessary and natural se
quence to article two, providing for
mutual evacuation and mutual recog
nition of Chinese territorial Integrity,
and the "open door" policy for which
American diplomacy has fought.
Portsmouth, Aug. 15. Article four
of the peace conditions has been
agreed upon. The Associated Press is
informed that while covering the sur
render of lease to the Liao Yang penin
sula and Blonde and Elliott Islands,
which are Included in the lease hold,
article four, does not include Port Ar
thur or Dalny, which are covered in a
separate article. Japan, it is under
stood, Insists at least for the present,
upon the occupation of these two
points.

WRONG IN DISPATCH
correspondent of the Times says an
Important personage declared to him
yesterday that If Japan did not aban
don her demand for indemnity, the
negotiations at Portsmouth would be
broken off this week. Every prepar
ation, he said, had been made for a
general mobilization with the view to
a supreme effort in Manchuria In the
present year, and Russia would play
her last card before accepting dishon
orable conditions of peace.

RECIPROCITY IS
NOW DEMANDED
Varied Interests Over Country
Unite in National
Conference.
TO CULTIVATE TRADE RELATIONS
Chicago, Aug. 15. The national
reciprocity conference, called by prom
inent commercial and industrial or
ganizations of the west and north-'
west, for the purpose of considering!
plans for extending our foieign com-'
mercial relations, finding new foreign!
markets for American products, and1
establishing reciprocity in our trade
relations with other powers, will be
called to older in the Auditorium late
this atteruoou. It is by far the niosi
important movement of its kind ever
begun in this country and is broad in
its scope and far-reaching in Us re-
suits.
The movement, was Inaugurated a
few weeks ago In Chicago at a meet
ing of representatives of the National
Live Stock association, the Shorthorn I
breeders' association of Amei ica, trie)
National Uve Slock exchange, the!
Chicago Commercial association, the
Illinois Manufacturers' association,
the National Grange, the Millers' fed
eration, the Chicago Hoard of Trade,
the Agricultural Implements Manu
facturers' association and other simi
lar organizations. The meeting at that
time- practically agreed upon the gen
eral principle of trade extension and
reciprocity and decided to call a na
tional conference on the subject.
Tho United States government was!
at first inclined to pay but little no
tice to the movement, but so great
was the Interest manifested by com-1
mi-rcial and industrial bodies all over
the count:)', that there could no
burner be any doubt of the fiul that
the movement would have to lie reck
oned with in the future. The result
was thai Secretary Wilson of the ih
p.irtmetit of agriculture and Secretary
Metcalf of the department of Labor
and Commerce decided to semi rep-re.-enta-ive.-i
to the confeienee. Sec
rctaiy M tealf has also decided to ar
ccpt an invitation to address the con
fen nee.
It is expressly and emphatically
Btated by tl.e promoters of the move
ment that it is not a political move
ment, and no cfT-irt will be made to
make the movement a political issue.

Imagine a perpendicular column of
water 1.HH0 feet high, twenty-sU Inches
In diameter at the top and twenty
four Inches in diameter at the bot
tom such a. column of water Is not
altogether fanciful. What is known
as the Mill Creek plant, ten miles from
Redlands, Cab, operates under a heal
of 1.930 feet, which Is higher than that
of any other power plant in the Unit
ed States. The pressure pipe Is In re

which the water enters Is 1,900 feet

above the nozzle where 'he water
strikes the water wheel. This little
column of water, which if liberated.
would be just about enough to make
a good trout stream, furnishes 5,200
horse power, or as much power as that
of an ocean greyhound. As the water!
strikes the buckets of the water wheel
it has a pressure of 850 pounds to the
square inch. The average locomotive
carries steam at a pressure of 190 or
2oo pounds to the square inch. Were

would fadt away before '.', ?,.lie trow

The longest single electric power
transmission system in the world is
that of the California Oas and Elec
tric corporation, which has carried
IKiwer from Colgate to Oakland and
around the bay to San Francisco, a
distance of 219 miles. Recently, how
ever, a current was carried 272 miles
without serious diminution.
Perhaps the most extraordinary feat
in power plant building Is that accom
plished by the Puget Sound Power
company, which less than two years
ago commenced building a great plant
supportets of the movement, said In
an Interview this morning:
"The sole design of the movement
is to be ready effectively to meet the
combined commercial assault of the
world upon the United States. We
must find foreign markets for our
enormously increased and rapidly in
creasing productions in all lines, or
face one of the gieatest periods of
commercial stagnation In our history,
We are being shut out of the conti
nent of Europe and If something is
not done soon, Oreat Uritaln will be
our only customer in Europe. Ger
many is our most dangerous commer
cial rival and is making desperate ef
foits to exclude our products from
the markets in Central and South
America by keen competition and by
obtaining trade advantages by means
of commercial treaties with the Amer
ican republics. Reciprocity is the
only remedy and we hop to be able
to present the situation to the mer
chants and manufacturers of the Unit
ed States In such a stiong light that
the government will be compelled to
yield to the reciprocity sentiment."
