BRITAIN OFFERS
TRUCE TO WORLD
First Lord of Admiralty Is
Willing to Stop Building
Warships for Year.
GERMANY HELD IN MIND
Clrnrchlll, Submitting Xaval Esti
mates, Says Proposal Would
He of Priceless Benefit In
Terminating Folly.
LONDON". March 26. A naval holiday
for a year, as far as new construction
1 cnncwnwl, was the offer made to
the world today by Winston Spencer
Churchill. First Lord of the Admiralty,
when he submitted the British naval
estimates to the House of Commons.
This way. he says, the world would ob
tain almost instantaneous mitigation
r.f the thraldom involved by the evil
and Insensate folly of the acute rival
ry in armaments.
Scores of millions, he declaredyVrere
belnjr squandered each year without
making any real difference In the rela
tive naval strength of the nations. His
proposal, he argued, would involve no
alteration in the relative strength of
the world's navy.
Refereaee Made to Germany.
"We address this proposal to all na
tions and to no nation with more pro
found sincerity than to our great
neighbor over the North Sea," he added.
Mr. Churchill. In a special speech de
livered later in the House of Commons,
proposed that Germany and Great Brit
ain agree to cancel their programmes
of construction for the year 1914. He
suggested that the Influence of such
an agreement would be priceless and
measureless In giving a wider Inter
national scope to an arrangement for
the prevention of wasteful, purposeless
and futile folly.
Remedy Regarded as Only One.
The First Lord of the Admiralty said
he was convinced that this treatment
of the subject was the only way to
terminate one of the most stupid and
unnatural chapters in the history of
European civilisation.
Mr. Churchill announced that the
British Admiralty had arranged to lend
to first-class British liners guns, am
munition and trained gunners to en
able those vessels to protect com
merce In time of war against armed
foreign merchantmen.

BAM AUTHORIZED BY STATE
Now Contract Made for Draining
Lakes for Soda Company.
SALEM. Or.. March 18. (Special.)
By the consent of the State Land Board
tne contract existing between It and
the American Soda t Potash Company
has been remodeled so as to allow the
company to construct a dam at the
mMith of Chewaucan River and com
pletely drain Summer Lake. Accord
ing to the original contract the com
pany was to drain the lake by means
of vats.
The company secured a lease on this
and Abert Lake for the purpose of ex
tracting the salts In their beds. By
constructing the dam it will be possi
ble to drain the lake completely and
make the salts available by January.
ln addition a water supply for irri
gation and power purposes will be de
veloped, and the tentative plan Is to
use some of the water for the Paisley
project.
U'REN MAY START SUIT
Test Probable to Determine Stand
ing of Initiative Petitions.
SALEM. Or.. March 2. (Special.)
It Is probable that mandamus pro
ceedings will be started by W. S. ITRen
airalnst Secretary Olcott to determine
whether an Initiative petition may be
voted on at the special election to be
hclU In November of this year.
Attorney-General Crawford has held
that only such measures as may be
referred to the people by referendum
petition may be voted on at this elec
tion and that should there be no such
referendum petitions coming up no
election should be held.
Mr. VRen waa hre today discuss
ing the question and the rrayer for a
writ of mandamus protaoiy win De
tiled in the shape of friendly proceedings.
effects of the long strain under which
he has labored, and for the last few
days something akin to the "closed
door" policy was practised in the ex
ecutive office. Secretary C. C. Dill
stood guard in tne puDlic office, and
allowed only a few callers to see the
Governor.
This was partially due to the pres
sure of disposing of the bills left on his
hands by the Legislature, today being
the last allowed him. But the five or
six months since his campaign for the
Democratic nomination last Fall have
been a great drain on his nervous sys
tem, and It Is frankly admitted that a
rest Is Imperative. The fact that th
Governor aad the Legislature were
practically at swords' points for nearly
two months was a powerful factor in
wearying lilm. He has cancelled two
speaking dates In Seattle this week
because unable to appear. He will not
consider appointments for a few days

LOXDO.V. March 26. Adrianople has
fallen after one of the most stubborn
defenses In the Mstory of warfare and
Tchatalis. according to a telegram re-
received by the Bulgarian legation at
London tonight, has suffered a like
fate.
The Information regarding Tchatalja
may refer to the town of that name
and not the fortifications, although It
Is possible the Bulgarians carried all
before them.
Shukrl Pasha, the defender of Adri
anople, handed his sword this after
noon to General Savoff, the Bulgarian
generalissimo, not, however, oeiore
carrying out his threat to destroy, the
town rather than let It fall Into the
hands of the Bulgarians.
Much of City la Flames.
From All accounts the arsenals, stores
and much of the town are In flames. It
was reported also that Shukrl i-asna
had taken his own life, but this Is be
lieved untrue as, after deciding defense
was no longer nosslble, he sent word to
General Savoff that he was burning the
city.
General Ivanoff, who commanded tne
forces around Adrianople, will enter to
morrow, while King Ferdinand will
follow soon thereafter.
The battle, which preceded the sur
render, started on Sunday night with
a three hours' bombardment. Later
the besieging troops In the east ad
vanced under the' glare of searchlights
to attack the advance works at Maslak.
After a fierce defense lasting through
out Monday, the Turks retired from
the forward forts.

Al.hA.ifrh mrr-au nrrtffrpss had been
made In the east. In other sections
enormous losses had resulted to' the
Bulgarians, with small gains. The at
tack was renewed, and Tuesday and
w.t,.Riv thA lmnortant inner forts
were taken after hard fighting.
According to a dispatch received at
Belgrade from Mustapha Pasha, the sac
rifices were severe. The Servian
Thirteenth and the Bulgarian Eigh
teenth Regiments were mown up uy
mines. The reserve hospitals have pre
pared to receive thousands of wounded.
The people of the town are said to be
panic-stricken and even Europe, from
the history of previous wars, fears that
the occupation today may be accom
panied by indiscriminate slaughter.
The capture of Adrianople has caused
