EXPECTED TO GIVE
5 BILLION DOLLARS
WASHINGTON, July 24. Secretary
McAdoo today prepared new war es
timates for congress very much In ex
cess of those already presented, and
which will necessitate raising reve
nue not contempalted when the sen
ate finance committee revised the war
tax bill. The bill probably will be
further revised.
The government, basing an estimate
on the needs of the array and navy,
wants the war tax bill to authorize an
additional $5,000,000,000.
Secretary McAdoo will appear be
fore the finance committee late today
to explain the treasury's needs, based
on the requirements of the army and
navy.
Before Secretary McAdoo appeared
before the finance committee it was
understood that the 15,000,000,800 rep
resented the estimates of the war and
navy departments, and that he would
propose an additional billion dollars
to be raised by taxation and seek au
thority tor an additional credit of
$2,500,000,000. Whether the latter
sum was to be in bonds or certificates
of Indebtedness was not disclosed.
While no official intimation of the
source of the new revenue was given
before Secretary McAdoo went be
fore the finance committee, there were
Indications that it would be drawn
principally from excess profits and
estate taxes, probably some increases
in income taxes and minor increases
in miscellaneous taxes. Official fig
ures are said to show that excess prof
its In the United States are now at
the rate of $5,000,000,000 a year.
PREPARE 10 SUMMON
OP NATION TO
WASHINGTON, July 24. Master
lists of the draft the official and last
word assigning every man of the 10,
000,000 to his place in the national
army, were going forward in the mails
today to the 455 local boards. They
supersede all hitherto published lists
and rectify all errors.
The lists have been prepared with
the greatest care and safeguards
against errors. Printed by the most
expert and trusted men in the govern
ment printing office, they have been
proof-read three times. In order that
each district board may be assured of
getting a list in the mails, two copies
are being mailed to each one in one
mail and one in another. The theory
of this practice is that if one list goes
astray, the other surely will reach its
destination.
The summoning of the men of the
first increment before the local boards
will quickly follow the receipt of the
official master lists. Until the men
are summoned, they are free to vol
unteer.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
has ruled that posting at the exemp
tion headquarters of the list of men
ordered to appear constitutes legal no
tification, It therefore is Incumbent
Upon all registered men to learn their
numbers at once and to see that the
board headquarters is watched when
the list is posted. Those ordered up
also will be notified by mail, but the
period allowed for appearance will
count from the posting of the list

NET IS SPREAD BY
L
KANSAS CITY. Mo, July 23.
While chemists are seeking to iden
tity germs found with the tentanus
bacilli inoculated in cultures on court
plasters scattered broacast through
Western Kansas by German agents,
federal agents today are spreading a
net which Is expected to result in ad
ditional arrests. Three Germans are
now in custody.
State officials also are making every
effort to learn in what additional dis
tricts the malignant plasters were dis
tributed in order to forestall unnec
essary contagion.
The court plasters, investigators
have found, are marked N. Shure &
Co., Chicago. Inquiry of Nathan
Shure & Co., today established the
tact that the Chicago firm merely acts
as middlemen for Bauer & Black.
G. T. Bauer, president of Bauer ft
Black, stated to federal investigators
that If court plasters from his firm
had been used to spread disease they
had been doctored after leaving the
factory.
"It certainly is possible that plas
ters can be used to spread disease,"
Black told special agents. "Wherever
the plaster is spread over an open
wound or even scratch it gives the
germ an opportunity to get a foothold
in the blood of the intended victim."
There are three sheets of plaster in
each package, Fred Robertson, district
attorney said. When sent out from
the factory there are 50 sheets to the
package. The peddlers sold or gave
away the reduced packets. ,
The discovery of the plot was made
by two western Kansas sheriffs, whose
names the federal officials refuse to
reveal The officers became suspic
ious wmen the peddlers, who spoke
with a German accent, generously left
samples where they could not sell
their wares.

BURTON BROWN
OF CANBY, KILLS
SELF ON DUTY
MED FORD, Or., juty 23. Private
Burton T. Brown, of Company I, 3rd
Oregon Infantry, which has been sta
tioned in Medford on duty for sev
eral months, committed suicide in the
armory at 5:30 a. m. this morning
by shooting himself In the head with
his rifle. Death was instantaneous.
No cause is known for the self de
struction except that he had com
plained of not having been able to
sleep for several days. Brown's
home was in Canby, Oregon.
Burton T. Brown, who committed sui
cide at Medford Monday morning was
the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Brown,
whose home is about five miles from
Canby.
He enlisted in the Oregon National
Guard several months ago and was 19
years of age. He was a member of
the 1916 graduating class of the Can
by high school.
No motive for his self-inflicted
death could be ascertained at Canby
where the testimony of all seems to
agree that he was of good reputation
and well liked.
His brother, Donald Brown, left this
morning for Medford to bring the body
to the dead boy's former home. An
other brother, Clifford, is stationed at
Goat Island, having enlisted at about
the same time.
ANOTHER NAVAL' RECRUIT
Chas. E. Wells, of this city, enlisted

ALLIES CAN
ONLY KEEP
WASHINGTON, July 25. No at
tempt is made hero to minimize the
seriousness of the situation In the war
theatres in Europe. The United States
is In the war and will go through with
it; but any hope of a short struggle is
gone with the apparent complete col
lapse of the Russian war machlue.
The development was not unexpect
ed by many arm yofficer. When the
offensive of July 1 was started by the
Russian forces, the most frequent com
ment heard here was that it was prob
ably the dying kick of the old Rus
sian machine.
For the United States the Russian
collapse may have an immediate and
direct bearing. It will, if the Ger
man general staff presses its advan
tage, release additional German forces
to bolster up the western front, where
American troops are to be engaged.
The German line in the west has not
been seriously Impaired at sny point
is the belief of officials here.
It was noted. In fact, that the one
strategic advantage gained in recent
fighting was gained by the Germans.
Many officers here believe that when
a small sector of the BritUh line in
Belgium was overwhelmed the Ger
mans improved their weakest front
materially. That view Is based on
opinions that the only hope of decisive
attainments for the allies in the west
lies in rolling up the German right
flank where it reaches the sea in Bel
gium. If that could be done, it is argued
that the U-boat bases could be stamped
out and the only offensive instrument
of the Germans be eliminated entirely
or made Ineffective.
It would require combined army and
navy operations, for it would be nec
esary to force a landing behind the
German line and force the whole right
flank back from the sea as a result
The price of such a victory against
the U-boats and German shore batter
ies probably would be appalling and
there is nothing to indicate that the
effort is being seriously considered
Reports from France, official and
unofficial so far as known, give no
cheering picture of what must be done.
There appears no doubt that the al
lied forces can stand against any force
that Germany can bring against it.
Even. the Russian disaster does not
affect the situation. But the necessary
strength for a successful offensive will
take time, and ample sea transporta
tion facilities of the United States
is to furnish the needed surplus of
men, airplanes, munitions and food.
The transportation problems before
the United States, both on land and
sea, are constantly increasing in scope.
It now seems certain that whole rail
road systems will have to be set up
in France to give the American line
the flow of war materials and men
that it must have to press home an
attack.
There is an old military rule that
a fortified position cannot be taken by
direct attack, but must be turned or
Isolated. Some observers here say
the allied offensive has consisted only
of direct attacks against fortifications
stronger than any fort of former days.
In effect, a fortified belt from the sea
to the Swiss border that is perhaps
more than 100 miles wide.
It is the belief of some military men
here that no breach can be made for
many months through the German
line of sufficient width to permit such
operations In the rear as would force
a rolling up of the entire German
front.
Admitting all these points, however,
there is no sign of discouragement
among American officials. President
Wilson's declaration that the nation,
not merely an army, must be ready to
-fight, Ib being carried out determined
ly and apparently with confidence that
in time men and supplies can be got
to France in sufficient force to make
certain the result.

SEATTLE. Wash.. July 25. Mayor
Gill said today he was considering is
suing an order temporarily prohibiting
the operation of screened streetcars
over the Second avenue and other
downtown routes of the Puget Sound
Traction, Light ft Power Oompany.
whose 1700 conductors and motormen
struck eight days ago for recognition
of their union and for higher wages.
The company has Imported 200
strikebreakers from New York City
and has announced intention of oper
ating cars tomorrow.
Another tralnload of strikebreakers
is expected to arrive within 24 hours.
Mayor GUI said the operation of
screened cars without passengers
could not be regarded as bona tide
effort to restore streetcar service. The
mayor said It would not be proper to
place policemen on cars sent to the
congested districts of Seattle tor no
other reason than to provide an ex
cuse tor rioting or invite bloodshed.
It the company should attempt to re
sume service on all its Hues, then it
would be the city's duty to furnish
protection to the cars.
Labor union leaders declare that any
attempt by the Puget Sound Traction
Light & Power Company to operate
cars with strikebreakers, who arrived
from the east last night, will cause the
light and power departments of the
company to be declared unfair Im
mediately. The Metal Trades council
held a meeting last night and arranged
for the calling out of Its men In the

ALL ALIENS EXCEPT
T
INTO THE U.S. ARMY
WASHINGTON. July 25 Congress
it is indicated, is going to order the
drafting of all aliens of military age,
except subjects of the central powers,
unless the state department, which
has taken a hand In the question, can
furnish a very convincing argument
to the contrary.
Polls have disclosed an overwhelm
lng sentiment in favor of making for
eigners living in the United States, ea
caplng military service in their na
tlve lands, bear their share of the
draft burden here. Particularly is this
sentiment strong among the represen
tatives and senators from the more
densely populated centers where alien
exemption will cause the draft bur
den to fall heavily on the native born
American population.
The Chamberlain resolution, declar
ing all aliens except thoiie of the cen
tral powers, subject to the draft on the
same terms as American citizens un
less otherwise provided by treaty with
the nation of which they are subjects
is now before the senate military af

vice Commissioner II. H. Corey who
arrived . Tuesday to Investigate the
wreck at Pleasant Valley in which
three were injured Monday morning,
returned here at night and said that,
contrary to the original report, the
accident was not due to failure of air
brakes, but was caused, apparently,
by a mistake in a meet order or an Im
proper order, the switchman ot the
Overland limited, not having time to
throw the switch to the siding before
the freight passed.
"I cannot determine the responsi
bility until I get a copy of the meet
order," said the commissioner, as he
left for Portland. The freight was
moving only five miles an hour, and
the passenger was almost at a stand
still when the collision occurred. The
action of the engineers on the two
engines of the pnssenger and on the
freight train In jamming their brakes
when they saw a collision was una
voidable certainly minimized Its ef
forts and undoubtedly saved a heavy
loss of life. The loss of three engines
at a time is a hard blow to the rail
road, when all available motive power
is badly needed. I cannot make a full
report on the wreck until orders to
both conductors are received."
James Gooch, fireman, W. I). Mc

LAST CHAPTER OF
IS
WRITTEN BY SYNOD
EUGENE, Or,, July 24. The pass
ing ot Albany College was forecast
at the afternoon session ot the Oregon
Presbyterian Synod here today, al
though a final vote on the proposal to
consolidate the institution with the
Congregational College at Finest
Grove was tlelityed Hinlll tomorrow
afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, when it will
come up as a special order ot business.
Mr. Elliott declured that In the opin
ion of the members ot the committee,
the doctrines ot the Presbyterian and
Congregational churches are so near
ly alike that tho consolidation should
not be opposed for denomlnatUmul
reasons, He offered In evidence cop
ies of Sunday School papers on which
the lessons and reading mutter were
almost the sumo, but the heading of
one read "Congregational" and the
other "Presbyterian." He said that
If the two churches could feed the
suine doctrines to the boys and girls
In the Sunday school, the committee
did not believe that It would bo harm
ful to educate Presbyterians and Con
gregatlonal young people In the same
school.
Dr. French's statement was followed
by a majority report of the Synod
committee on merger, which favored
the consolidation and the removal of
the Albany Institution to Forest Grove.
A minority report opposing the mer
ger was signed by a single member
of the committee, C. C. Bryant, of Al
bany. The majority report was read
by Rev. Carl H. Elliott, ot Salem. The

Iter. John M. Skinner, of Portland;
Rev. J, L, Landsborough, of Orogon
City; William McLeod, of Portland;
Earl C. Bronaugh. ot Portland, and
John Straub, of Eugene.
The first blow to the Albany Insti
tution came when Dr. Calvin II.
French, of New York, secretary of the
College Board ' of the Presbyterian
General Assembly, announced that the
college board would not spend another
cent at Albany and recommended that
the Albany school be consolidated with
the Forest Grove school as the only
way to get any salvage out of the sit
uation. He quoted figures compiled
by his organization to show that the
state ot Oregon Is overcrowded with
church colleges.
