Dally, by carrier per year, . , 1.20 ,f,r, 7.80 THE suggestion of the HoBcbiirg Itod and Ouii flub that Ibc Fbih Coinralssloii plant sllvorsldo salmon In Iho. upper Umpqua riv ers should meet with general ap proval. In the blnhly controversial question of fish and fishing It seems as though all concerned will be willing to ugreo that planting silvers ill the upper river would be u good sound thing to do. Four yeurs ago an unusually high flood slago In the river oc curred at the timo tbo chinook sul mon run waB on. The result was that the chinook swarmed up the river and over the racks at the llock creek hatchery. It Is reported that because the chinook egg take was not, therefore, enough to opo ' 'rate the hatchery to capacity, some silverside eggs were obtained from another part of the stato and silvers wero hatched and roleased In the upper river. a This year, for Iho first time in many years, there was a small run of sllversldos in th6 uppor river. It Is about the first lime within the memory of local fish experts that silvers wore trapped in tbo racks. Since the net fishermen at the mouth would have a chance to net all silvers regardless of where they were hatched or released, they should offer no objection to the Idea of planting them In the up per river so that we can ' have Bomo of (hem up this wuy, too. It should be noted almi (hat Hie Fish ConiiulHsion hatchery at Hock creek took a record number of eggs this season. This means Hint four years ago (Iho salmon run Is In four-year cycles) uu abnormally large number of salmon eggs were hatched and young sulmon released In the ulrcum, Hut there Is something radically wrong here. Accurdlng to our fig uring it was Tour years ago Dial the hatchery railed to tako enough chinook eggs to keep Die hatchery running and so Imported some sil verside eggs. This obviously dings up a query as lo why wo bad such a good run ol chlunnks when so few wero hatched. Possibly our figuring Is wrong. It so wo wel come a slulemuul In corrucllou. At any rale, what this newspa per Is moHl Interested in is more fish In the I'lupqtln rivers. Tills oh Jective, we believe, will find wholehearted endorsement by all who lake fish- whether with nets or by hook and line.

GENERAL HAGUE la'chlef of staff of the United States army. GENERAL RUIZ, tbo new Mexican dictator, is figurehead for Van Hassek's operations. CHAPTER VII She answered gravely: "My in structions require me to remain lu Mexico, monsieur. Hut it's import ant for you to reach your govern ment as quickly as possible! I learned from liogglo today that he can't see me tomorrow. All leaves of absence are being suspended, which means you'll not have long to wait for Van Hassek's attack. Au rovoir, monsieur, and bon voy age." , Tbe sun was moving over the jagged Washington skyliue on the second morning thereafter when Bennlng was put down at Ilolliug field by a fast observation plane from Kelly field. After bis land ing at Randolph field from Mexico City the duy before, he had passed tlie alarm to Eighth Corps Area headquarters and sent a code re port of details by wire to Colonel Flag will. A military car was waiting for him at tlie airport. It sped him to the war department where Flag will was waiting in the G-2 office. The colonel showed the effects of strain and sleeplessness, but was gravely contained. "A fine bombshell you've explod ed lu tlie war department, lien nine," Flagwlll said solemnly. "I've reported only whut 1 learn ed, sir," Meaning answered. "Of course, the final appraisal of my information la u to the general staff." "General Hague took your report at "once to the president," Flag will said. "As a result tbe presi dent had an ultimatum sent to Ruiz yesterday by tbe stale department. Our ambassador at Mexico City was instructed to say that Mexico must explain fully its European army within forty-eight hours, and give our military attaches at the embassy full authority to visit all troop concentrations to view first hand what is going on." - "I read a news flash on that in the San Antonio papei-B last night before I took off for Washington, sir. If my opinion is worth any thing, Colonel, Ruiz will merely stall around;. in a play for time. He's controlled wholly by Van Has sek." i-. :: "We're getting ready to mobilize tbe army and national guard, lien ning." Flagwlll rubbed a torment, ed hand across his brow. "Gad. what a headache if it comes to thai! Willi the international .situa tion what it is, we don't dare com-, mlt too much of our peace-time army to Texas. Some queer rumors are seeping through from the Or ient, and Europe is ull hot and bothered again." "We'll be lucky if wo get any thing mobilized before Vun Has sek hits us," Bennlng predicted. "I mean if we wait much longer." "Walt? Walt? What else can we do but wait? The people lust simply refuse to believe we're vul nerable. Ilennlng. Late yesterday a prominent senator dressed dow-u the president fur sending' an ulti matum lo Ruiz. Said tbe present troubled time is not one to rock the boat intimated the president was playing politics. The press gave the statesman almost as much space as It gave the ultfmutuni. lint now you get busy and type out your report In detail, Ik-tiii'lng. Gen eral Hague has called a general staff conference for eight o'clock. Hague has been at Ills desk con stantly since your report came in yesterday no one around hero lias had any sleep. I'll bu back as soon as possible." Helming dictuted to a confiden tial clerk his report covering bis movements and observations from the day ot his arrival in Paris. He gave in detail his conversalioiis u-ith Van Hassek, his experiences at headquarters, bis talks with Fineku, the udveiituro uf Mile Un cos, tbo scene lu Van Hassek's quarters, including tlie ceremony of llravot's departure: Die seizure of Van Hassek's operations map, finally his own escape from Mexico ill tho Fernando plane. This done, he reproduced from memory the Van Hassek operations map with its numerous sinister red arrows Indicating points of possible, invasion of Ihe United States by a major land rorce sup ported by warships and ulrcraft. Colonel Flagwlll eame In from staff conference, bis face gravely tense. No word from Kulz except a bare acknowledgment," Flagwlll said grimly. "Our ambassador re ported thai Ruiz wanted several days in which to study the Ameri can proposul, which Is equivalent tu ignoring our demand for prompt compliance. The president is very much worried about the situation." "It may be, sir, that, tbe ultima tum will bring the boil to a prompt head." denning suggested. "What's fretting tho president Is his next move. G-2 bus cunvasscd public opinion throughout our nine corps areas and finds Ihe public isn't very much excited over the .Mexican situation The president's ultimatum stirred up more cur iosity than alarm lu Ihe country. Too many newspapers treat the matter aiuithetically. or question the vigor und finality with which tbe president went aflcr Ruiz. What if your report sbould turn out to be iuaccurate or tbe whole thins a tremendous hoax or a Van Hassek pipe-dream out of which comes nothing due to a switch at tbe last minute in Inter national plans, Bennlng?" "The dictators, of course, can always change their minds," Ben nlng agreed. "Also I'll admit Van Hassek'B operations map may be a hope rather than a concrete plan. Rut there's no laughing off his army, nor discounting its plans to attack the United States." "Oh, I agree fully." Flagwlll said. "I'm Just rationalizing our own helplessness to act more fully at this time. We've alerted the sec ond division al Fort Sam Houston, the 11th Infantry at Laredo, and our detachments at other border points. That's the extent of it. Now If Ruiz thumbs his nose at us, I'm not sure that congress will back up mobilization, or that the president will act on bis own as a measure to repel Invasion. If be did, and no invasion developed, he'd be laiighted out of office. In this peculiar great country or ours, Denning, with its complete depend ence on isolation to keep us out of serious trouble." A stenographer brought In Tlen ning's complete report - and Flag Will seized It avidly. His brows met as he came to the scene in Van Hassek's quarters at the Pala cio Nacioual. "You say, Bennlng, you saw a black flag wilh crossed sabers with your own eyes and all tbe officers saluted it?" be askod sharply. "Yes, sir." "You didn't tell me that In your verbal account. Man, that's vital Information! That same flag has been showing up in Europe among the armies of the coalition pow ers. It's also been reported in Toklo und China. Reports have leaked out that the militarists are rallying behind that (lag, hell bent on taking matters In their own hands if necessary. Of course, that's u subterfuge for coalition governments to maneuver behind while they' keep up u pretense of peace negotiations. But the pres ence of that flug in Van Hassek's headquarters is highly significant. I'll take your report at once to Gen eral Hague you'd better grub yourself a bite to eat!" Out in tho streets, Washington struck Heunlng . as ; strangely quiet and unconcerned in face of the turbid international situations, tho rumblings of trouble, the president's unanswored Mexican ultimatum. Sensational head lines of the evening bofore had boen replaced by more conserva tive headings. Mexico had lost its zest as news, pending some new development. Tlie stock mar ket, after a shnrp drop the day be fore, had recovered its losses, and was driving ahead uuder a fresh buying urge. n . ' He took a taxlcab f the Army anil, Navy club where sofnboiv re tired officers of army and navy" mumbled over world threatB with their coffee. After n shower, and a shave that wiped out his wispy artillery mustache, Bennlng re turned to the war department. Flagwill s section hail done some fast work with the Van Hassek mup. O skilled draftsman ' had done it ovur into what Henuing considered u remurkuhle likeness uf the origlnni. "Were going lo tbe president with this map and yo.,r full re port," Flugwlll announced. "Thut ought to justify his Insistence on a showdown with' Ruiz." Jlenning spent morning und aft ernoon checking over tho G-2 re ports on complications and devel opments the world over. Notes of ambassadors, consuls, army und navy attaches In foreign campltals anil summaries of press clippings all reflected the unrest ami ten sion that gropped the world. Europe continued a maelstrom of rumor. Germany. Ituly, Spain and their allied llalkan states wero shut off hy rigid censorship. On the plea of Internal necessity Ihey hud closed their frontiers to foreigners, denied aliens all usu of mails and wire communications. Similar action bad been taken by Japan. Unverified reports cumo from China of heavy troop con centrations north of Shanghai to gether wilh concentration of trans port fleets. Russia had drawn oH lo herself behind all unbreakable curtain of censorship. Diplomacy admittedly had broken down the world over, fretted capitals waited in Ihe grip of fear for the next moves In a world gone mad. Only In Ihe United, stales was I hero tranquility loft, a lack of fear and tension. G-2 reports gave Ihe same story from ever the coun try. There was lively luteins! but little tension. War was something on remote horizons, isolated by broad seas. America wanted noth ing to do wilh It. wished only to be left alone with her peacclul Inten tions. Therefore no harm could come. The war scare was jiugoU lie poppycock promolcd hy militar ists in their quest of heavier :ii proprlatlons for armaments, iust as though recent millions pledged to them were insufficient. As ror those mercenary troops lu the Mexican army, our own army could gobble them up In a jiffy if they were senseless enough to start any thing. During the day penning saw lit tle of Flugwlll. Endless slaff con ferences were being held, the whole war mid navy departments a beehive of strained activity. A new plan was hot In the making, a torlured, impossible plan, out of which the best must be drawn. it was a plan lo meet the one emergency for which the United States who wholly und utterly un prepared, the emergency of sudden invasion. . .

Couch Jim Watts' hoopsters, while in control of the game throughout, were given a great deal of trouble by two towering Cave men players. Monies, a forward wiio stretches out to 0.-feet-4, und Hill, 6 foot-3, both of whom domi nated the control of rebounds from off tbe backboards. The Indians, with their - minds chiefly on the Coquille encouuter here next Friday evening, played In-and-out ball all evening.
