LONDON, Nor. 14. The danger of a
greater war than that between me
Balkan states and Turkey absorbs pub
lic Interest far more than the first bout
of diplomacy between the 'belligerents.
The steps toward mobilization which
Austria and Russia are . taking, al
though -only preliminary precautions,
have made possible a vision of the vast
consequences, which as far as Great
Britain is concerned are considered
nothing less than appalling.
Brltona Fear Alliances.
Apparently the British public has no
desire to sacrifice lives and money,
paralyze commerce and risk the navy
over the settlement of the status of the
Balkan peninsula. Tet It Is uneasy be
cause Ignorant of how far Great Brit
ain's diplomatic engagements with
Prance and Russia extend In the direc
tion of an alliance and of how much
likelihood there Is that the government
will be drawn Into a conflict In which
one or both of its partners in the en
tente may be engaged.
The liberal press la unanimous In
urging Great Britain to preserve neu
trality. The majority of the Conserva
tlves demand the same policy. The
Times, declaring that none of the Euro
pean peoples want war. says: "Tet that
is whither the nations are blindly drift
ing."
War Made by Diplomats.
It asks, "Who, then, makes war?" and
replies, "The answer Is to be found in
the chancellories of Europe, among the
men who too long have played with
human lives as pawns In a game of
chess, and who have become so en
meshed In formulas and the Jargon of
diplomacy that they have ceased to be
conscious of the poignant realities with
which they trifle."
The Pall Mall Gazette almost alone
speaks In a warlike voice. It declares:
. "England ought to act firmly with
France and Russia In refusing simply
to be swept aside. If the conference
desired by the British government is
refused, we ought to face the alterna
tive and stand by our friends."
Sloblllxatloa Will Be Slow.
The mobilisation of the Austrian and
Russian armies requires weeks for
what Germany and France can accom
plish In days. Russia's situation is on
account of the great distances the
troops must travel; Austria's because
the units of the army are on a peace
footing, which is only one-third of
war strength. Therefore, considerations
of safety compel them to begin when
the danger signals are remote.
England, France and Germany are
playing a peace-making role. Their
efforts are directed, apparently, ' to
ward keeping the powers together in
a compact to refrain from taking up
piecemeal the questions which the war
raised and to defer their consideration
until the general conference.
Bad Man Is Noted.
The withdrawal of the Austrian war
ship at Constantinople to Join the fleet
Is taken as an unfavorable sign, and
the imminent Servian occupation of
Durazzo on the Adriatic Sea tends fur
ther to bring Austria and Servla to
ward the breaking point.
On the other hand the safe arrival
at Uskup of the Austrian Consul, Pro
chaaka. who It was feared had been
killed, should lessen the tension, and
the fact that the Austrian Ambassa
dor lunched today with the Russian
Emperor would seem to Indicate that
the relations between these two pow
ers still are cordial.

OREGON CITY HAS

JIBS. KATE L. NEWTON" ENTERS
MAYORALTY CONTEST.
"If I Ani Elected You Muy Be Sure
I Will Be Mayor,"- Says Fem
inine Aspirant to Office.
OREGON CITT, Nov. 26. (Special.)
Hunnewell. Kan., and its militant
woman Mayor were forcibly recalled in
Oregon City tonight when it was
learned that Mrs. Kate L. Newton had
circulated a petition and tomorrow
will file it with the City Auditor, an
nouncing her candidacy in the Mayor
alty race to be settled December 2.
Mrs. Newton will be arrayed against
Linn E. Jones, ex-Legislator, in the
race to succeed Mayor Grant B. Dimick,
who has announced he will not run.
Until tonight there was no contender
against Mr. Jones.
Mrs. Newton has been prominent In
matters of municipal importance, al
though she has not been active as a
suffrage worker. While she has not
been lined up against the suffrage cause
she has remained on neutral ground
and her announcement tonight came
like a bombshell in the camp of the
political leaders of the municipality.
Mrs. Newton has found occasion sev
eral times to visit the Council cham
bers and tell the "city dads" what was
what. In improvement project discus
sions Mrs. Newton has been alert, but
other than that has not been identified
with the public affairs of the city.
-The- hour for filing the petition is at
noon tomorrow. The fact that Mrs.
Newton has so timed her announcement
as to enter the race at the last minute
in itself is regarded as a bit of polit
ical strategy, and the sentiment around
Oregon City tonight is that Mrs. New
ton has a really good chance of elec
tion, although Mr. Jones stands high.
"You may be sure if I am elected I
will be the Mayor," said Mrs. Newton
tonight. "I realize that if I am elected
I shall haye to preside over the Coun
cil sessions and all that and I know
we have some knotty problems, but I
can hold my own if I am elected
Mayor." "

Oscar King Davis said In his published
statement:
"The onlv reason why the planK was

Mr. Davis says that the confusion of

Davis' "explanation" was read by those
who actually had a hand in construct

UNIVERSITY O P WASHINGTON,
Seattle, Nov. 26. (Special.) When
the varsity ball committee asked per
mission of the faculty committee on
student affairs today to hold the an
nual formal dance in some Seatle hall
rather than in the gymnasium, they
were met with a flat refusal.
"The varsity ball is getting out of
reach of the average student," said
Dean John F. Condon, chairman of the
faculty committee. "There are not more
than 10 per cent of the student body
who can afford dress suits, let alone
the other expenses of a formal dance.
"Where a few spend a lot of dad's
cash, the majority go to a downtown
dancehall and get their fun at 6 cents
a dance, and I'm not so sure they are
not Justified.
"It's time students got back to com
mon sense. We have talked democracy
on the campus long enough, now it's
time for practice. One of the first
steps the faculty will take Is In the

see that dress suits, taxlcabs and flow

turns from Daisy, the 3 4 -year-old cow
purchased a few days ago to demon
strate the high cost of meat.
Mrs. Hutton has been- skeptice.1 about
the reports that Spokane butchers were
losing money, so she bought the beef
and had it cut up at the A. & K. Market.
When sofd and everything was com
mercialized but the "moo," she discov
ered a loss of $8.76.
"Of course, I paid a fancy price for
the cow in the first place," stated Mrs.
Hutton. "I bought it at IS cents
dressed, or 7 cents on the hoof, when
butchers buy for 11 cents dressed, or
Hi cents on the hoof. It cost me $12
to bring the cow to town and 10 cents
for weighing."

There are many events in the. life of
this grand old man any one of which
would distinguish him among his fellow-men.

they give him honored place among
Oregon's most notable citizens.

served with honor at the head of a
company in Oregon's Indian, wars. He
founded a city and lived to see It be
come a growing, prosperous trading

merchants of the Willamette Valley.
He and many of his sons have been

among his descendants, honored by
hundreds of relatives and friends, he
could look back over nearly a century
of usefulness.
