TDK FAHMKHS' CREDIT ItlLL.
According to Congressman llawlcy,
who pusscd the day In Roseburg,
there Is a very bright outlook for the
passage of the rural credit bill at this
coming session of congress, as the
commute, of which he is one of thu
leading members, will have it In
ouch Bhape that It can be presented
with every likelihood of its being ac
cepted and made Into a law. A great
deal of time and attention has beon
Biven to this matter by the com
mittee, and thoy have di
gested the voluminous report
have digested the voluminous report
mado by the commission that was
sent to Europe, and made exhaustive
Inquiry in this country, and Ttave
framed the outline of a bill to meet
the needs and requirements of the
farmers of this land. There Is no
question regarding the 'Immense val
ue of such a law in this grea ag
ricultural country, and especially In
a new country as this still undevel
oped west, and while of necessity
there must and will be restrictions
and regulations, they will not be of
such a nature or so drastic, tnat tnoy
will prevent many thousands of
farmers taking advantage of its pro
visions. It was suggested to our'
member of congress, that It wou'.d
be an excollent idea If lie would
come to Roseburg at some later date
and elucidate the proposed hill be
fore a meeting of the farmers oil the
county. He was assured of having a
large and representative audienco
from the farming community nil over

this, and give long enough notice
ahead bo that his coming would he

have watched this enso and Its sen

Thero has been too much doubt as te

which human might was puny and fu
tile, eight persons met heroic deaths
on the beach today, whllo other he
roes, red-shlrted beach guards and
bathers who took their lives Into
their own hands battled de.i?eraiely
against tremendous odds to save
them, '
Thousands lined the boa id walk
and beach, women wringing their
hands and weeping bltteriy, aa a
tragedy heart breaking In III Inten
sity was enacted before their eyes.
UttO IVi-sous In Peril.
For the space of more than iJ0
minutes more than 00 lives wpre
placed in direct peril by (he pound
ing Burf, herding them into deep
"slue" running seaward from the
Strand at Chelsea avenue.
. Three other persons, one of them
a young women, are mlBsing and may
have met the same fate.
The victims are:

North Iowa avenue; Erwln Craig, of
Wilmington, Del., and Walter Mar
gerum. of this city, a beach guard
who battled with the waves until he
collapsed on the beach.
The heaviest tide of the summer
did not deter thousands from enter
ing the turmoil of breakers this
morning. From one end of the beach
to the other men, women and child
ren were knocked over by the big
seas and dragged out by fighting
beach guards.
Shortly before 10 o'clock a fleet of
six fishing skiffs, returning from
fishing grounds off shore, were up
set simultaneously in the breakers at
Mississippi avenue.. Green was
drowned when a score of fishermen
hurled into 'the boiling breakers.
Word was then passed up and
down the beach front to guards to
warn all bathers to hug the beach for
the tide was rising and growing more
dangerous.
Ninety minutes Inter, while hun
dreds were Joyously leaping about
In the great combers along the Chel
sea front with thousands watching
them from the walk-railing and hotel
porches, a shrill cry went up. Two

them, were Bhrleklng for help, t n
........ had filled an '-"offset" o
"slue" nnd as the bathers, panic-
stricken, turned shoreward, they
plunged Into It over their heads.
Pandemonium eiiBited. Horror
gripped tho hearts of the watchers,
for there were but two guards at
tmnd. Oscar Channel and Walter Mar-
gerum, stationed at Morris avenue.
Whllo these brave chaps raced sea
ward, life buoys In their arms io

One man, believed to have been
McKay, with within a few feet of
help when the humun line crumbled
under the battering of the seas and
othor bathers dragged Its members
to the beach.
Men. women and children were
dragged out unconscious and stretch
ed on the beach. Eighteen there
were of them at ono time, going back
to fight for the others as they were
revived.
Hotel guests are already talking of
organized efforts to obtain suitable

(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
LONDON, June 11. (By mail to
New York.) That the German au
thorities have hoodwinked the vari
ous neutral commissions that have
made generally favorable- reporti on
the treatment and feeding of pris
oners of war In Germany if charged
by three Belgian non-ommlsfloned
officers who recently escaped lrom
the prison camp of Bergsnhns.
Questioned singly and then to
gether by the Belgian minister at
Copenhagen, their Btoriea, which
have been forwarded to the Belgian
legation In London, coincided. All
agreed that conditions in the larger
prison camps, such as Pnrchim, where
they were first confined, are consid
erably better than those In the small
er camps, the former being under
the command of superior officers.
Though the rules in the larger camps
are severe, they are applied with
more or less equality and there Is not
so much arbitrary infliction or ex
cessive toil or ill-treatment, such as
prevail In the camps like Gergenhus
which are under the command of
Bub-officers of the reserves or lerrl
torials, who run them acer-rdlng to
their own whims and without the
necessity of reporting their own vio
lations of the rules.
"In these camps English and A.'s
slnn prisoners are treated incompar
ably worse than the French and Bel
gians," said the escaped Belgians
"They are giving the most revolting
tasks to perform and are often brut
ally assaulted. Parcels for all prison
ers are opened, delnyea.and pilfered
in spite of the rule that they should
be opened in the presence of the' re
cipients. The medical service is la
mentably insufficient, prisoners not
even being examined until they hnve
been ill for many days. Even then
no rest from work Is allowed except
in grave cases. Tho only reply to
is, 'You didn't come here
to be ill or to rest, but to work.' The
prisoners-have to pay for medicines
themselves, and the lot of those un
able to do so is frightful.
"Both the quantity and the qua!
Ity of food have been lowered in the
past three months. At Bergenhus the
rations were: Morning Bowl of
a brew colled coffee and a morsel
of black bread three Inches square
and one and a half thick. This bread.
a little less than 200 grammes, has
to laBt all day. Midday Soup, made
of water, mostly quite Inedible, and
some beotroot. Evening Beetroot
only. Vegetables, preserves nnd es
pecially meat are only distributed In
special circumstances and in infin
itesimal portions. Rnrely, some
bones from the meat used at the
table of the guards are dipped In
the prisoners' soup. The waste from
the German troops' kitchen Is sold on
ontract to feed tho pigs of the
country-side. The Belgians at Berg
enhus one day complained of the
soup, whereupon the commandant re
plied 'I know this sonp is not fit to
give to pigs but you'll eat it all the
same.'
"Commissions of the Red Cross
and the neutral states nave expressed
themselves as being generally satis
fied with the nourishment of the
prisoners because they have been
completely hoodwinked. For In
stance, when the Swedish mission
visited Gustrow they were shown
the kitchens where the meals were
being prepared, not for the prison
ers as they believed, but for the
guards. At the canteens the prices
charged prisoners are fai hovond
market prices, while ths non-commissioner
officers of the German
guard pay nothing.
"Only a strong constitution can
enable a man to emerge with his
health from one of these ramps. Some
Belgians have already died of hun
ger. 'AMSTERDAM, June 7. (By mail
to New York.) The kaiser's health
is being i;afc'guarded these dnys with
characteristic German thoroughness,
according to information reaching
here from Berlin. 1
The most elaborate precautions
are taken to prevent his even catch
ing a cold. Whenever he goes to
either of the fronts he is accompanied
by a small army of physicians and
nurses whose fliBt duty is to ascer
tain whether there is any epidemic
prevalent in the district, whether the
air Is suitable for his majesty's
lungs, and whether the humidity Is
such as might cause rheumatic pains.
If, In spite of all precautionary mea
sures the Kaiser acquires a cold, he
is immediately put to bed, all visit
ors are refused admission, he Is
swathed in all sorts of poultices,
takes an enormous quantity of pills
and powders, and exnets a thousand
and one cares.
Meanwhile special sanitation work
Is pursued. His temporary home 4s
disinfected, both inside and outside,
a score of times daily. The room
where he reposes is constantly spray
ed with Bpecial chemical preparations
and those of his suit who cough, or
have been 111 even some time before,
or who use a handkerchief too fre
quently, are not permitted within
hnilln gdlstance of his room.
president was endeavoring to induce
congress to pass the ship purchase
bill, It was intimated in the senate
that Mr. Warburg had used his in
fluence with the Administration to
obtain the legislation and thus enable
the sale by the Germans of the Ger
man Btcamers lying in New York
harbor. Mr. Warburg and treasury
officials denied that there was any
truth in this suggestion.
Mr. Warburg was naturalized only
a short time before he was appoint
ed on the federal reserve board. He
haB been in the United States not
more than seven years.
Washington is Wondering.
WASHINGTON. June 20. The re
port from New York that Paul M.
Warburg, a member of the federal
reserve board, has been sending ci
pher wireless messages to the bank
ing house of the M. Warburg Co., at
Hamburg, caused comment among of
ficials hero tonight when their at
tention was called to It.
Mr. Warburg Is a. son of the head
of the Hamburg house and formerly
was connected with it.
The question was raised what
could be the nature of the communi
cation Mr. Warburg desired to con
vey that he should be so secrctivo
about it. The greater curiosity con
cerning it grew out of the fact that
Mr. Warburg holds an Important po
sition in connection with the control
of the American financial system.
Mr. Warburg was not at his home
today. It was said there he was out
of the city, but his present address
could not be obtained.
"Don't know where he Is," was the
answer in response to an inquiry.
Acting Secretary of State Lansing
said he had no knowledge concern
ing (Mr. Warburg's use of a cipher in
sending messages to Hamburg. "That
would not ocme under the state de
partment," he said. "Tho navy de
partment has charge oj wireless." .
Secretary Daniels, of the navy de
partment was not in the city tonight.
Others In the departmen said they
knew nothing concerning the War
burg cipher wireless message. Mr;
Warburg may have given his code to
Secretary Daniels or the naval of
ficer supervising the message from
the station used by Mr. Warburg may
be in- possession of it, but this fact
could not be ascertained hern.

NEW YORK, June 20. Paul M.
Warburg, member of the federal re

One of these dispatches baa cento

"PAUL M. WARBURG."
Efforts have been made here to
decode the "message, but without suc
cess. It is evident that Mr. War
burg and the firm belonging to his
family have agreed on a dictionary
or a book and encipher and decipher
It the following simple fashion: Take
the word "man." for example. The
tenth word, or whatever number mayi
be agreed on from man gives the
word coded. The same system fol-
lowed with reference to other words
finally produces the message.
Filing of Key Required.
It Is .assumed that before sending
the message, Mr. Warburg supplied
the state department with his code
and a copy of his communication.
Otherwise he would be guilty of vio
lating the regulations prescribed by
the government.
It Beems astonishing to men who
know that Mr. Warburg should be
engaged in sending cipher messages
to Germany. It is possible that the
messnge Is purely personal. In this
instance It Is asked: "Why the ne
cessity for o cipher?"
It Is natural that suspicion should
be arotiBed by Mr. Warburg's action.
He is a member of the federal re
serve board, which controls the fin
ancial system of the country. His
office is in the treasury department
in Washington. He is close to Sec
retary McAdoo and other officials of
the administration. In his position
he naturally Is cognizant of every
thing that goes on.
