By Cull I. (.mill. .
WEIMAR, June 2(1. The German
political leaders suddenly decided to
night to withdraw the note to the al
lied In which further concessions
were demanded. No reason for this
action was advanced, and the situa
tion remains confused. Trout the
mass of conflicting incidents, how
ever, the general impression is that
the treaty will he signed.
President Kbert has failed in his
efforts lor a new cabinet, owing to
Inability to obtain the support of the
majority of the political leaders here.
The conference of political chiefs, in
which an attempt was made to or
ganize a ministry, was adjourned nT
ler a long session. The adjournment
was forced by the refusal of the
democrats to Join In the new gov
ernment unless certain further con
cessions were made by lite allies. As
a result of the deadlock Klnrt imme
diately dispatched u note to the al
lies notifying them that they wi re
unable to form a government, and
making I lie following demands: The
fixing of u flat sum of t-5."lin.n(l".-Out)
for the Indemnities; the with
drawal ot the allied demand for the
surrender of Wilhelm, and tin1 im

the league of nations.

LONDON, June 21. "Certnin of
the Interned German ships in Scapti
Flow, Scotland, have been sunk and
abandoned by their crews," the
Iiritish admiralty announced last
evening"" The first intimation of the
sinking of the German ships was con
tinued in Exchange Telegraph dis
patches from a correspondent in
northern Scotland, who Htated that
they had been sunk by their crews
and had gone down with the imperial
German ensign flying at the mast
heads, where the crews had raised
them. Practically the whole German
fleet lying in Scapa Flow has been
sunk by the German crews. Farm
ers living nearby stated that the
German flag was hoisted by the
crews as ihey sank the vessels.
Almost the entire German fleet
was taken to the Scapa Flow for in
ternment after its surrender to the
allies, following the signing of the
armistice. A small portion of the
crew of each vessel is understood to
have been maintained In keep the
ships in repair. The foregoing dis
paich did not state the exact number
sung nor the manner of their sink
ing. This is believed to include the
major portion of the great German
fleet which was ignominotisly sur
rendered to the allies soon after the
armistice was signed last November.

raising the Oregon quota in the Sal
vation Army Home Service Cam

the brethren of this splendid organ
ization but to every liberty loving.
patriotic citizen of our state and
community:
"The quota of the Salvation Army
drive for Oregon Is $2ii0,000, one-
half of which is to be raised In
Portland and the balance through
out the state. This entire union n t
will lie used by the Salvation Army
in its work In Oregon, not one cent
going out of the state. Every coun
ty has had Its quota made up on a
per capita, basis.
'The Elks of Oregon, true to tra
dition, have willingly volunteered to
sponsor this worthy cause. It is one
of tho biggest tasks we might have
assumed, yet one of I he grandest,
ant! I wish to impress upon you that
Oregon Flkdom truly has u duty to
perforin. The result of our work
will be watched by the entire state.
In oilier words, the ability and in
fluence of our order to accomplish
real purposo is on record, and
sincerely trust that every Elk In
Oregon will consider It a personal
obligation to assist in this work.
It is needless or unnecessary to
remind vou of tho worthiness of the
cause. The Salvation Army does Its
work day and night lit an unosten
tatlous way. Its work In the front
line trenches was -ono of the won
ders of tho war, and the Salvation
rmv paid lor It In most heavy
casualties. Their members served
a rirst aid to the wounded; they
wero ever ready with a supply or
doughnuts and coffee for the dough
boy; they sacrificed everything, and
when thev slept or rested, no one
knows. Can we of America realize
the enormity of their work? Can
wo ever repay tho debt wo owe?
"The Elks consider it a privilege
to he the "big brother" to such an
organization. They need the money
Wo want to help. Let us all get on
the band wagon and show the Sal
vation Army that the Elks of Ore
gon will see them through.
In the name of charity, that be
loved principle of our order. I earn
estly ask your belli In this noble en
deavor.
Someone has said that every par
cnt or soldier boys, who gave their
sons to lace Hie danger of the bat

remembrances of the s, lendld work
done over there by the Salvation

iave their bins for service or not
should and will lie more than glad
to support liberally this organization
