U. S. SHIP LOST
118DE01MD01
ENGLISH COAST
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The Uni
ted States ship Tampa, a former
roast guard cutter in naval service,
was lost off the English coast Septem
bar 26 with U on board while on con
voy duty.
Ten officers and 102 unlisted men of
the crew, one Pritish office and five
civilian employes lost their lives.
A navy department statement today
announcing the disaster says the ship
was sunk at night in the Bristol chan
nel, and that reports indicate she was
struck by a torpedo while escorting a
convoy.
SINCERITY 1ST BE
PROVED TO GET PEACE
WASHINGTON, Oct 8. President
Wilson has met Germany's peace note
with a move that wllL at one stroke,
develop whether her proposal is sin
cere or merely a pretension, and, if
a pretension it be, fully justify for all
time before the world the prolonging
oi the war with force to the utmost,
force without stint or limit.
At the same time the President has
left wide open the door to peace.
Declining to propose an armistice
while the armies if the central pow
ers remain on invaded soil, the Presi
dent today called on the German
Chancellor .to state, as an absolutely
necessary preliminary to a reply from
the entente allies and the United
States, whether Germany accepts the
principles of peace as repeatedly laid
down, or merely proposes to accept
them "as the basis of negotiation"
and whether, the chancellor merely
speaks for the German military mas
ters conducting the war or the whole
German people.
As the fall significance of the
President's diplomacy is disclosed, It
becomes evident that he has left open
the way to peace and at the same
time left the niilitaisrt Itaders if the
central powers with a question they
must necessarily answer in a way that
will lead to peace or confront them
with an embarrassing situation in
their own countries.'
Among diplomats here- the Presl
' dent's communication is regarded as
one of his master strokes. It is
pointed out that upon cursory exam
ination It may not show such strong
terms as some may have desired. All
the President's advisers, however, are
confident that as close consideration
reveals Its full import, it will be ap
parent that it is a long step forward
If Germany really means peace, and
that If she does not, it will strip bare
another hypocrisy of German diplom
acy so completely that the responsi
bility for prolonging the war never
ran be charged to the allies, even by
the German people themselves.

RUSSIA'S RICH TIMBER LANDS
Six new members have just been
added to the instruction board of
Clackamas county, and with the six
originally named the board will hold
a series of meetings in the principal
centers of the county within the next
few weeks, or soon after the Septem
ber 12 registrants are classified.
The board Is now composed of the
following: Walter A. Dimick, chair-
man; Jos. E. Hedges, John V. Loder,
Rev. W. T. Milliken, A. C. Howlan'd,
H. E. Cross, John F. Mason, Rev. f.
W. Snyder, R. W. Kirk, H. G. Stark
weather, Rev. E. E. Gilbert and Dr.
M. C. Strickland.
It will be the duty of this board to
get in touch with all of the new Class
1 men and give them all of the instruc
tion possible that will be useful to
them in army life. They will be ad
vised about their physical habits, as
well as told how to fit themselves for,
army life. Further instruction will be
given the selectlves when they are
called by members of the instruction
board. The local draft board will is
sue calls to Class 1 men to be present
at the various meetings, as the gov
ernment de-sires that the registrants
become aa familiar as they can with
their duties before actually entering
the service.
Systematic Exportation Would Have
Great. Effect on the Market
, of the World.
An article In a current magaalne by
A. J. Sack presents statistics on Rus
sia's forest resources as a means of
paying the billions of dollars due to
home and foreign creditors.
The astonishing statement Is made
by this writer that Russlu, Including
Siberia, has 1,125,000,000 acres of Um
ber which is 63 per cent as much as
the whole world possessed. This re
source is being set aside by Russian
economists as a fund to pay the coun
try's debts.
The effect on America's business
should be duly considered, observes
Hardwood Record In discussing the ar
ticle. Except oak, It continues, which
is generally known in the market as
the Japanese oak. It is not probable
that much Russian timber will reach
the United States ; but It will compete
with American lumber la other mar
kets, notably thosie of western Europe,
and perhaps tboso of eastern Asia,
western South America and the Paclfle
Islands.
"To that extenC says Hardwood
Record, "our lumber business may be
hurt by the flood of forest products
'from Russia. In normal times Ger
many received 48 per cent of Us lum
ber Imports from Russia, and Eng
land's per cent of timber Imports from
that source was nearly as large.
"Lumber shipments from Russia will
come from the Baltic, from the Arctic
coast of Russia proper and Siberia,
and from the Pnclllc const of the lat
ter country. The principal lumber
markets of the w'orld can be reached
from those points."

SALEM, Or., Oct. 7. Important
concessions In favor of the apple
gravers of the Northwest and which
will save to tho Northwest $1,000,000,
have been won by United Suites Sen
ator McNary after long conferences
with Edwarl I'hamborti, director of
tratllc under tho federal railroad ad
ministration, and Judge Prouty, di
rector of public servieo and account-j
Ing. The cause of fruit growers was
taken up with Senior McNary by
Fred O. Iluchtel, of the Oregon public j
service commission, and Mr. Iluchtel
Is in receipt of a telegram from Sen
ator McNary, saying that Chambers
and Prouty Intimate that the admin
istration will agree to a rate of $1.15
per hundred pounds on apples for
transcontinental shipments,. The pres
ent rate Is $1.2a on a basis of a gen
eral 20 per cent liirreas-e- In freight

Adoo. Information received from Sen
ator McNary Is Interpreted here its
equivalent to an assurance on the
part of Chambers and Prouty,
Fruit men contended flor reductions
which would make a muximum rate
Oi $1.10, and while the probable agree
ment announced by Senator McNary
Is a compromise, as he points out In
his message, he declares that It Is
probably the best that can be done
and requests Mr. Iluchtel to gee repre

ascertain their views. Mr, Iluchtel
