(Correspondence of the Associated Press.) One of the unusual features of the war is ine num ber of naval training ships and cadets that have been in action. The Highflyer, which fought the 111 fnted commerce destroyer, Wilhelm der. Grosse, in the early days of the war, was a naval training ship. Two sea going training cruisers for cadets, the Cornwall and Carnarvon, distinguished themselves in the Falkland isianus battle. ; - A. large number of cadets also per i.hH in thA Hawke. lloirue.

ERA OF EXPANSION DAWNING World Markets Open as Result of War in Europe. INVISIBLE DRAIN STOPPED Economist Points Out That Ameri . cans Are Keeping Honey at Home and Are Prepared to Em brace Sew Opportunity. . 'CHICAGO, Jan. . 20. For the first time In history the United States is "experiencing the sensation of a real trade balance In its favor," Dr. Edward E. Pratt, chief of-the Federal bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, told the Illinois Bankers' Association at its annual dinner here tonight. As a result of the developments abroad during the last six months. Dr. Pratt said, "we have turned the corner and are facing a new era of business expansion . in this country an era which has made the term 'home market' obsolete- and archaic and put in its place the unfamiliar term of "world market.' " " PreVloua Balance Unreal. He explained that while the export excess in favor of the United States had ranged annually for 14 years from $250,000,000 to J650.000.003 "Invisible factors" had made this only an appar ent favorable balance. . Foreign Investment - in the United States, the speaker said, totalled J7, 500,000,000, with an annual interest of $350,000,000. constituting a fixed charge on American Industries, while Amer ican Investments abroad produced a revenue yearly of only r75,000,000, re ducing the balance against the United States on this count to $275;500,000. Tourist Travel Heavy Drain. Moreover, he pointed out. American tourist traffic poured millions into Eu ropean coffers each year, the 1914 fig ure being approximately 128S,000,0J)0; foreign-born Americans sent home an nually at least $150,000,000 and foreign shipping companies collected freight from American foreign commerce amounting to J2B,000,000 a year. The result of all these invisible fac tors during the fiscal year of 1914, Dr. Pratt declared, had been to produce an actual excess of remittance over re ceipts of $55,030,000.

EFFICIENCY OF AERIAL WARFARE. EVIDENCE OF FRAUD S HOW BY RECOUNT Grand Jury Invest iga tion Probable. ERASURES ON 121 BALLOTS All Votes Changed in Precinct 37 Favor Mr. Word. MR. HURLBURT IS GAINING N. F. Donnelly Declares He Scrutin ized Tickets First Kight W liilo Counting Measures and Says Alterations Came Later. .That votes for .the office of Sheriff on 121 , ballots in Precinct 37 were changed in favor of Tom M. Word some time between S A." M. and 8 P. M. of November 4 was indicated yester day at the recount proceedings insti tuted by -Mr. Word against Sheriff Hurlburt Evidence of fraud were so apparent that it was preillcted freely about the Courthouse that a grand Jury investigation would bo demanded. Sixty-nine ballots were known al ready to have looked so suspicious to the Judges on the night board that they rejected them. The recount of ficials yesterday discovered 51 more which had been counted by the day board for Mr. Word and on which erasures of votes cast for Mr. Hurl burt were plainly visible. .One more erasure was discovered in the night board's ballots, making a total of 121 ballots which evidently had been tam pered with. All the apparent changes were made in favor of Mr.Word. On each of the 121 ballots erasures were plainly vis ible opposite Mr. Hurlburt's name, and a cross, usually a great deal different from the other crosses on the same ballot, appeared in front of Mr. Word's name. On some of the ballots it was plainly apparent that the cross had been made with a different pencil than the voter had' used on the rest of the ballot. - On other ballots the cross was of widely different character from those appearing elsewhere thereon. N. F. Donnelly, chairman of the night board in Precinct 37, yesterday made statements which strongly Indicate that the ballots were changed after the bal lot boxes were opened. Erasures Locking First Mght. Mr. Donnelly said he had held a con ference with A. U Clark, chairman of the day board, and had suggested that the vote on the measures be counted first in order to save time. This was agreed to, and on the night of Novem ber 3, Mr. Donnelly was chairman of the board that counted the measures. (Concluded on Page 2.) Wednesdays War Moves THE German airships, for they are thus described by the German of ficial report, which paid a four hours' visit to the coast towns of Norfolk during the night, dropped 20 or more bombs. The raiders' missiles killed four persons, injured ten or more others, and did considerable damage to property. The report that a fifth person, a soldier, had been killed, proved incorrect. Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, the largest towns visited, suffered the heaviest damage. Eight bombs were dropped In the former town, one of them killing an old man and an old woman, injuring three others and smashing every window within a radius of several hundred yards. i In Kings Lynn a woman and boy were killed by bombs which demolished a row of cottages. Tho air craft also visited Cromer, which, however, was not attacked; Sherlngham. where four bombs were dropped; Dorslngham, Grlmston, Snet tisham and Heacham, each of which received one missile. Snettlshara and Heacham are within three miles of the King's Sandringham residence. Near tho former place. Where the windows of the village church were shattered. Queen Mother Alexandra has a Sum mer bungalow. What composed tho raiding fleet Is still a matter of discussion. Major Astley, who commands the National reserve at Kings Lynn, says that as the result of Information received by hint he will report officially that one of the latest Zeppelin derlgibles took part. Some persons assert they saw huge airships, but others say only aero planes and seaplanes participated. Aeronautical experts are of the opinion, from the sise the bombs dropped, weighing from 60 to 100 pounds each, that airships of the small non-rigged Parseval typo were em ployed, and as the German official ac count refers to "airships," It Is pre sumed these were the craft used. They can be built more quickly than Zep pelins, but are slower and carry less ammunition. Whether by coincidence or because the British and French authorities bad knowledge of the enterprise, more stringent regulation as to lighting went into effect Tuesday night, both In Paris and London. As a consequence of the raid the in surance rate against damage by air craft was doubled today and is now from 50 to 60 shillings per cent. A large business was done event at those high rates. ' . The battles both in the east and the west now consist largely of artillery engagements with occasional attacks by the infantry. The French assert they have made further progress In the region of Pont-a-Mousson, to which military men attach much Importance. It is predicted that the Germans will launch a heavy offensive, as they did with great success at Soissons, to put a stop to the French advance toward the roads leading to Metx. The Ger mans captured more trenches In the Argonne, but according to the French official report these trenches were re taken. The only other point of Importance disclosed by the official statements is an intimation in the Berlin communica tion that the Germans have undertaken a counter offensive in Alsace In Poland and Western Galicla the Germans and Austrlans continue Iso lated attacks against the Russian lines, which, according to the Russian re port, have been repulsed with heavy losses to the attacking forces. The Russians are advancing slowly through the mountains separating Bu kowina and Transylvania, and are ap proaching Dorna-Watra. a town of some importance near the Roumanian border. As for the Turkish Caucasian army. It Is believed it will not retire to Er serum. but will be put in readiness for defense against the Russians when they decide to advance. It is considered likely, however, that the Russians will be content for the present with the successes already gained in this re gion, and turn their attention to the Turkish forces in Azerbaijan before Invading Turkey CITY SEEKS BEET ACREAGE Med To rd Men Push Campaign to Get $600,000 SngarFactory. MEDFORD, Or., Jan. 20. (Special.) Practically the entire city toured the Rogue River Valley today to procure acreage for the sugar beet factbry, and tonight the total acreage reached 3300 acres. One thousand ' acres were procured today. Twenty-five automobiles took the campaigners through the county. W. H. Gore's machine led the day, with a total of 250 acres. Tomorrow Grants Pass will send a delegation here with 2000 acres, which will more than make the 6000 acres required to bring about the construc tion of the 3600,000 plant. The soil is to be examined and If the beet sugar factory promoters ap prove it, construction of the factory will start about February 1. COLONEL JACKSON TO STAY Guardsman toVthdraw Resignation at Governor's Request. - As a result of a request by Gover nor Withycombe, Colonel James Jack son, of the Oregon National Guard, will withdraw his resignation, sent to the Governor early in the week, announced Colonel Jackson yesterday after a con ference with other guardsmen.

Colonel Jackson, who is a Civil War veteran, has been an officer in the" National Guard for 23 years. He is now serving in the capacity of Inspector-General. LEGISLATORS' TASK IS THANKLESS ONE Lawmakers Likened to Mothers-in-Law. POPULACE BOUND TO GRUMBLE That Representative Men Un dertake Work Is Wonder. REST COMES AT MIDNIGHT Ronald G. Call vert Find That Ac tive Member of Either House Has Xo 6nar Committee Business Adds to Session Hardship. BT IIONALD a. CALI.VKUT. STATE CAriTOU falem. Or., Jar. 20. (Staff Correspond, e.) Legl.la tures are like mothers-in-law tn a wa. As a class they are the subject of cruel Jests and often of bitter arraign ment. As a rule, thero Is about it much justification for deriding one a the other. There are bad Legislatures and Impolitic mothers-lu-law, but Ron erully both try to do the right thlutr. and usually succeed; yet the good they do is nearly always discounted by tho popular superstition that surrounds them. It Is a representative body of men who are sitting In Salem. Why such men are there. In view of the rhronic public grumbling that usually follows a legislative session. Is somewhat of a mystery. True, some of them were pulled Into the affair against their will by popular demand, but many have vol untarily shouldered the responsibilities of an ordinarily thankless task, Pnblle Hard to Please. One reason for the criticisms that are directed against Legislatures is the long-range view the publle has of their difficulties and the routine of their operations. The House usually Is the less ef f lclen.t . of the-two. bodiea, but there is a reason for It. All the mem bars are newly elected each blennlum. There are 0 of them. Some are re elected members, but the proportion of the latter Is small. These 0 men are thrown together suddenly for 40 days of really arduous labor without know ing one another and without knowledge of one another's ideals or sincerity. They are strangers who must counsel together for the common Rood. If a majority . combine on a constructive programme they are accused of steam roller tactics. If there Is no organisa tion or leadership the work Is re tarded by excessive discussion and long debate. To be a member of the House and get out with a popular record Is no small Job. Menatora' Task ttasler. The Senators are elected for four years, one-half the members retlrltur every two years. The body Is Jutt one-halt as large as tho House, and. therefore, less unwieldy. One-half of the members each session are acquaint ed. Each knows whom to trust and whom to suspect. It la-sler to be a successful Senator, yet to the posi tion Is supposed to attach sjperlor honors. Part of the manufactured distrust of the Legislature is made possible by the fact that a large part of Its delib erations never get Into the public press. Committee Work Onerous. It may be announced that the Houie was In session 45 minutes In the morn ing and an hour In the afternoon; that the Senate devoted about as much time to legislation. The Impression there upon prevails that the members are Idling away their time. Hut all bill, resolutions and memorials are llrst acted upon by committees. Every mem ber has several committee assign ments.
