LONDON. Dec. 14. Germany's
peace, proposals are due- to the tact
that a grave internal discussion has
arisen on account of the food short
age and the reign of terror, and be
causes the relations are strained be
tween the various German and Aus
trian states and Turkey. The Kaiser
learned that the British plan their
greatest effort for next year,
proposals were greeted with
tempt here. France, Russia,
anil Belgium are. as firm as
mouth rock.
ProjMisnls Received.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.-
The
l'ly-
-Ger-
many's peace proposals have reached
the State Department. They were
immediately forwarded to the bellig
erents. Secretary Grew transmitted
a confidential memorandum as a
guide for President Wilson and Sec
retary Lansing.
t President Wilson's closest advis
ors said the President will offer his
services in the event Lloyd-George
Is willing to discuss the proposals.
The United States plans to keep out
of the dispute if the allies are de
termined to continue fighting. Un
official indications of the allies' atti
tude are not encouraging.
Deportations Necessary.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. Ger
many's answer to the United States'
Belgian deportation protest has ar
rived here. It offers explanations of
the deportations, and declares the
nets are necessary. There is no bru
tality nor inhumanity used.
BUSINESS VERY BRISK.
Thomas II. Patterson, a wealth
resident of Michigan, spent today In
Roseburg looking after business af
fairs. Mr. Patterson says Michigan
never enjoyed ns much prosperity as
it did during the past 12 months.
The automobile factories have been
working night and day, while other
manufacturing plants have been un
able to supply the demand for their
products. He says the fanners have
enjoyed the best of crops, and the
markets were brought to their very
door.. Instead of keeping horses,
Mr. Patterson says the farmers there
are doing practically all of their
work with motor driven vehicles. If
the war should stop tomorrow, Mr.
Patterson says It would be at least
two years before many of the manu
facturing plants would be able to
catch up with their orders.
Fred T. Burgess, of Cairo, III., ar
rived here last night. He says that
Glenn Bangs, who was arrested here
a few months ago charged with em
bezzlement from his employers In
Illinois, was given a long term in
the penitentiary of that state. Bangs,
It will be remembered, spent some
time in the county jail here pending
the arrival of a Cairo officer.

WILL VISIT HERE
WELL KNOWN RIFLE EXPERT
WILL PROBABLY GIVE A.N EX
HIBITION IX ROSEBURG DUR
ING THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
HAS FIXE REt'ORI).
HAS FRIENDS IN ROSEBURG
Mrs. Topperwein Visited In Rose
burg Previously uml Whs De
lighted With Her Reception
In Tills Vicinity.
Word was received here today
that Mrs. Topperwein, lady rifle ex
pert, will .probably visit Roseburg
within the next few weeks. Mrs.
Topperwein spent two days here a
few years ago and gave a most do
liglitful exhibition of her skill with
the firearm.
She is beyond question the great
est of all fair Dianas of tho traps to
day, and is possibly the best trap
shot in the United States.
That's quite a compliment and a
great.honor to pay anyone, especially
a woman, when you take into con
sideration that there are more than
600,1)00 trap shooters in the United
States, but it is no more than Mrs.
Topperwein deserves.
Year in and year out for a dozen
of them she has shot at 8000 to 10,
targets, and has always compiled an
average of better thn 9H per cent,
but on November 10 she accomp
lished the greatest feat of her ca
reer when she pulverized 1 9 " 2 out
of 2000 targets thrown in succession
from the traps of the Montgomery,
(Ala.) Country Club.
Not only did Mrs. Topperwein es
tablish a record for performance.
but she also established records for
endurance and for the greatest num
ber of shots fired over the traps In
one dav by one shooter. Back in
190ft, when she had been shooting
four years. Mrs. Topperwein shot at
1000 targets in San Antonio. Texas,
her homo city, and broke 961. It
took her four hours and U." minutes
to shoot at a thousand clay boys. It
took her only hours and -10 min
utes to shoot at 21100 targets, of
which 3 hours and 10 minutes were
spent In actual firing. Thus the Im
provement will be noted.
No man has ever shot at 2000 tar
gets In one day, and only one has
shot at 1000. He is J. W. Garrett,
of Colorado Springs, Colo., and he
broke four more targets than Mrs.
Topperwein did in 1 908. In her
mangificent performance in Mont
gomery, Mrs. Toppr'ein used only
one gun, weighing 7 V4 pounds, and
did not rest a minute, despite the
fact that the barrel of the gun be
came so warm a number of times
that ice water had to be poured over
it. It was difficult to hold, and Mrs.
Topperwein suffered a blistered
hand, but she was shooting better
at the close than when she began.
She broke 96 of the first 100 tar
gets and 9S of the last ItiO.
The lowest score he made in any
100 was 9j, and her average for
the 2000 was a shade less than 98.
She compiled straight runs of 10(1.
111. 139 and 2S0, which we might
say in conclusion Is ' some'' shoot-
ing.
Mrs. R. M. Kox, of Sutherlin, was
visiting friends In Roseburg today.

IMIGINARY BROTHER
IS BEING SOUGHT BY
MARSHFIELD OFFICERS
Through information brought to
him by girls who have been ap
proached nnd by women who have a
knowledge fof the situation. Chief
or Police J. W. Carter is led to be
lieve that an influence is at work
on Coos Hay that should bo brought
to the attention of the authorities at

Xo overt act has occurred, but con
stant solicitation has been made of
at least five Marsh field girls to
leave their homes and go to Califor
nia with an imaginary brother or the
solicitor, or to accept, paying Jobs in
San Francisco.
The names of the girls are with
held, as they should be, first because
their parents are not aware of the
solicitation and secondly been use
they wish to avoid notoriety. They
have done well to warn the officers
of tho conditions.
The girls who reported to Chief
Carter state a woman who now re
sides in North Mend has come to
them with offerH to make them ac
quainted with her brother, who is
well off nnd desires to meet them.
The woman tells them each the
brother is much in love with them
and wants to get married, according
to tho testimony. The marriage
would first requiro a trip to Kan
Francisco, where they would be
happily wedded. One version staled
the brother was worUi $!,ono, and
was anxious to get a wife to help
him spend it. (Jiils aro warned
against nny such pretentions and if
tho brother in produced he should
be shown to the officers at once.

NEW BRIDGE NEAR ELK

CURE FOR LAZY HUSBANDS
lliislmuds Who Wilfully Desert
Their Wives uml Children May
lie Sentenced to the Slate
Penitentiary.
Husbands who wilfully desert
their wives or children and refuse
to provide them with, the necessities
of life will stand a good chance of
serving a term in the stale penilen
llary in the event a bill now being
prepared by District Attorney Ceo.
Neuner becomes a law during the
next session of the Legislature,
which convenes at Salem an January
r.tii.
The proposition to either amend
tho present non-support law or se
cure more modern legislation along
this line was brought up at a meet
ing of tho Oregon District Attorneys'
Association, held in Portland a few
mouths ago. Practically every prose
cuting oft icer in attendance at the
meet Ing declared that t be present
non-support law was Inadequate and
that, more modern legislation Is
ncedel (o meet tho demands of (he
public. Because of this condition,
District. Attorneys (leorge Neuner, of
Roseburg, and Walter lOvaus, or
Portland, were appointed members
of a committee to draft a bill and
asubmlt the Ha me' to the Legislature
tor nuopuou.
The law desired by District Attor
ney Neuner may require the submis
sion of t wo separate bills to the
Legislature. The tirst bill, tf adopted
or in oiui'r wnnis, men wnii inn io
provide for their wivea anil children
t h rough mere shif tlessness or neg
lect. .Men arrested under this pro
vision of the law can be handled by
either the justice or county courts,
and thereby savo the expenses of
Circuit Court prosecution. The
(judges handling these cases will be
given much latitude, and provision
will t)e made for the release of the
defendants in the event, they are
abb to make a showing that t hey
will provide for the support of their
dependents. Their release may be
brought about either before or after
they have been convicted of the of
fense charged against them. The
pen a My for viola t ion of t Ills provi
sion itf the ):i w will incl mle a fine
or a term In the county Jail.
The second bill, to be framed by
the district attorney, will provide
for the punishment of men who wil
fully desert their wives and children-
and leave the slate. Men ac
cuser) of this offense will face a fel
ony charge, and if convicted will be
compelled to servo a term In the
state penitentiary. I' ruler the pres
ent non-support law but few of the
men arrester) are sent to jail or are
otherwise punished for the offense.
The new law to be advocated by Dis
trict Attorney Neuner and other
prosecuting officers of the state .will
he drastic, and will probably be the
means of curtailing the number of
desertions, which have been Increas
ing at an alarming rate.

Attendance nt (lie An

Corrying out his suggestion made
here a Tew days ago and published
exclusively in the Review, Commis
sioner B. F. Nichols, of Riddle, Wed
nesday introduced a resolution nt
tho annual convention of county
Judges and commissioners now being
held In Portland, to abolish the road
supervisors. Tho motion started a
fusltade of remarks directed against
the road supervisors having charge
of tho road money, which, most of
tho men Wednesday agreed, was
squandered In poor road const ruc
tion. A bill will now be prepared
and submitted to tho State Legisla
ture in January asking for the en
actment of a law which will carry
out tho intent of the resolution.
Commissioner Hawkins, of Ifood
River County, started the fireworks
when he Bald that what changes had
been proposed in tho existing code
were good, but they did not affect
the couuty court or tend to correct
the evils with which each Judge and
commissioner was well acquainted.
After the motion to dispense with
tho office of road supervisor was
carried another motion was proposed
to put care of construction, operation
and maintenance of county roads di
rectly in the hands of the commis
sioners and tho county Judge.
After some discussion it was
agreed that it would be best to al
low eaiih county to retain Its many
small road districts, so that it could
net Independently of other communi
ties in road construction. Some
suggestion was mado to redistrlct
tho county, but It was met with
strong disapproval.
Roads, their construction, malnte
nance, operation and the methods
by which money could be raised
wilh which to build I hem, occupied
the entire day's meeting.
O. Laurgnard, recently elected a
member of tho lower house, pointed
out what, ho considered essential
evi'ls in the present road laws.
lie suggested that a state commis
sion bo created con. posed of three
members, serving without pay. Il
would have that commission take
