Calrndar Senate Changing
fcentiment as to Dry Act.
BY TtONALD G. CAL1.VERT.
STATE CAPITOU Salem. Or., Feb. 8.
fStaff Correspondence.) Ten work
ing days of the present session of the
legislature remain and at least ten
pieces of important legislation await
final disposition. .Some of the latter
hare passed one House or the other;
ome have not been adopted by either
branch. Here Is a partial list, at least,
of matters that must be disposed of:
Approval or rejection of the lease of
.Abert and Summer lakes.
Revision of the compensation law.
Passage of a prohibition act.
Approval of the general appropria
tion bills.
Itoad legislation.
Irrigation tax or some constructive
substitute.
Revislfm of election laws.
Consolidations of state departments
ami boards.
JU'Vision of tax collecting system.
State-wide paving legislation.
Report on I.ram Aot Made.
The committee that has been hold
ing hearings on lease of Summer and
Abert lakes has not yet reported.
A bill amending the existing com
pensation law has passed tho House,
but will encounter the opposition in
t':e Senate of tho FingU.-im bill adapted
front the Michigan law. A public
hearing on these measures will be held
tomorrow night.
Most of the bill changing election
laws have originated in the Senate.
One bill prohibiting paid circulation of
Initiative and referendum petitions and
,.i( .if,..ct. f afc'threlylSmfwy mfwyp pi
providing a depository substitute
where petitions may be signed volun
tarily is slumbering in a Senate com
mitter. Another bill providing a fee
system for nominating candidates in
lieu of petitions has been up in the
House, but was referred back to com
mittee for amendment. Jt is due to
appear on the calendar about tomorrow,
general Appropriation mil Out.
The Joint committee on ways and
means is still working daily on appro
priation measures. Several bills pro
viding for j-tate institutions passed the
)Iu.e today, but th general bill, pro
viding for state offices and depart
ments, has not yet been reported out.
On consolidation matters several bills
arc in process of formation, and will
be submitted to the joint committee for
action within a day or two.
There is strong interest in the irri
gation and road measures because of
the mtllage taxes carried. One irriga
tion measure provides for a half-mill
levy. The House already has -defeated
a flat appropriation of $450,000 for irri
gation. No road bill, it nuw seems
likely, will pass which carries a greater
lax than one-half mill, but neither
House has acted on such a highway,
measure.
Bins-bam Kill Considered.
The Fingham paving bill, on which
there was a public hearing tonight, has
attracted both approval and condemna
tion. Probably if it can be conclusively
,-hown that it is what it purports to be"
a bill to compel paving awards to
contractors on a fair competitive basis
it will gain approval. The commit
tees on taxation are meeting nearly
every evening to consider several meas
ures changing times f payments and
providing for penalties and rebates and
similar factors affecting tax payments.
The prohibition bill appeared ia the
Senate today on first reading. The usual
course will be to send it to the Senate
committee on alcoholic tratlic tomorrow
after second reading. The Senate and
House committees did not meet jointly
to consider the prohibition measure, so
reference to the Senate committee will
be tho probable action. How soon It
will be reported back to the Senate
can only be conjectured. Necessarily,
the Senate committee will not devote
as much time to it as did the House
committee, for in such event final ad
journment would be taken with the bill
fctill lu committee.
rrr 4aia In Senate.
Sentiment in the Senate seems to be
turning in behalf of the original com
mittee of one hundred's bill. Over In
the House Representative J. E. Ander
son, who sponsored the bill on the
floor 1'riday when it was passed by
that vtody, is proposing a poll of the
committee of 'one hundred to deter
mine whether the bill as amended meets
tbe approval of a, majority. If a meet
ing cannot be held a poll by letter is
suggested. Chairman Ljttlef ield, of the
J rouse committee, will suggest some
minor or corrective amendments.

BLOCKADE IS NOT
IDEA, SAYS BERLIN
XEUTRALS MERELY WAR X ED OF
EXPOSURE TO CHANCE SHOT.
American Vessels to Be Sunk Only
if Carrying Contraband and
With Safety to Crew.
BERLIN, via The Hague to London,
Feb. 8. The naval measures of Ger
many against British commerce are in
no sense a blockade. No hostile action
against neutral shipping is contem
plated. German warships and sub
marines will endeavor by every means
in their power to avoid sinking Ameri
can or other neutral ships and will
take every precaution to avoid a mis
take. v The above may be taken as the cor
rect interpretation placed upon the
German proclamation Ira competent
circles in Berlin.
The proclamation declaring the
waters around Great Britain to be a
war zone like similar British measures
which were taken as a precedent, is
designed, it is asserted, to warn
neutrals that a ship venturing into the
naval field of operations exposes itself
to the risk of being struck by a
chance shot.
It was said today that it might be
safely asserted that the Germans have
no intention of sinking an American
ship unless she is carrying contraband
of war, and then only if her crew can
be given the possibility of escape.
The warning to neutral shipping, it
was asserted, was considered as parti
cularly needed in view of the reported
order to British ships to ho'bt a neutral
flag whenever as they are in danger,
an order which, if adhered to, it was
stated, would make it difficult for a
German warship to discriminate be
tween hostile and neutral shipping.

FARM VALUES' MARK HIGH
Conrage and Co-operation in Busi
ness and Confidence in Restora
tion or Prosperity Recommended.
Figures Show Possibilities.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. Feb. S. Courage
and co-operation in business and confi
dence in a restoration of prosperity
was recommended by James A. Farrell,
president of the United States Steel
Corporation, in an address before the
Engineers' Soc'.ety of Western Penn
sylvania here tonight.
Among reasons for encouragement
Mr. Farrell quoted "eminent European
and American authorities" as calculat
ing that the United States' exce3s of
imports in 1S13 may easily reach
51.000.000.000; and he declared thai the
balance of trade in favor of the United
States for the opening month of the
year is at the rale of $1,500,000,000 a
year.
"The years of greatest prosperity in
the United States have been when the
balances were largely in our favor,'
asserted Mr. Farrell. "It is not im
prudent to predict that our total farm
values for the current year, for the
first time in the annals of this or any
other country, will pass the ?10,000,
000,000 mark.
I.rt'a Strain a Point,' I rlra.
"I feel safe in saying that, if you
will strain a point just now and trade
a little more with each other and talk
encouragingly as to conditions, rather
than pessimistically the business- of the
country will take on a momentum
which will carry us into better times
and. what is more important, create
more employment for labor. Our best
efforts should be put forth to stimulate
activity in business and do everything
practicable to Increase the number of
working peoplei not only in the Indus- I
tries in this community, but through
out the Whole country.
"The elements of prosperity are at
hand; the developments from day to
day are favorable. The steel trade has
been called the barometer of business;
there is a marked Increase in orders
and in operations; more men arc ob
taining employment and the trade
movement is progressing and encour
aging, and we should do everything
practicable to sustain and advance it."
Jlr. Farrell said that up to within a
few weeks "it seemed as if tiie pros
pects of a material improvement in
business were doubtful, but apparently
the tide has turned and each day re-

WILSON TALKS TO GERMANS
Three - Cornered Diplomatic
Correspondence Forecast.
FLAG INCIDENT SECONDARY
Lnsitania Precedent and War Zone
Limitations, Important Only for
Possible Effect on Safety of
Americans Going Abroad.
WASHINGTON'. Feb. 8. Informal
discussion by President Wilson with
his German advisers of the dangers to
which neutral ships may be subjected
in the newly-prescribed war zones
around Grat Britain and Ireland and
the use of tho liner Lusltania of the
American flag foreshadowed today a
diplomatic correspondence between
the United States and both Great Brit
ain and Germany, respectively, on these
questions.
In each case the- American Govern
merit, beoauso of its neutrality, cannot
discuss the rules which the belligerents
may adopt toward each other. The pre
scription of the war zone itself, how
ever, or the use of a neutral flag by
belligerent-owned vessels us a strata
gem of war has not given the Ameri
can officials concern so much as the
prospect that these acts may endanger
the lives of American citizens whose
right to travel on the high seas on
neutral ships during time of war, it Is
intimated, will he vigorously defended.
No Action Taken Vet.
Pending the receipt of the German
Foreign Office memorandum from Am
basaador Gerard and a report of the
Lusltania incident from Ambassador
Page, no action will be taken. Tomor
row tho situation will be fully dis-
cuejSed- at-a-meeting of the .Fresidcrt
and his Cabinet.
Formal Inquiries as to what steps
the German naval commanders will take
to protect neutrals traveling on mer
chant ships and requests for informa
tion as to the use of American flags by
British ships generally, it Is understood,
will follow.
Many ot the neutral diplomats,
among them the Ministers from The
Netherlands, Denmark and Italy, were
at the State Department and to all in
quiries as to the possible action of the
American Government In connection
with the prohibited sea Jones and the
use of neutral flags aboard belligerent
merchantmen. Secretary Eryan an
swered tuat these questions were "still
under c-oi.sideration."
Joint Action !ot Proposed.
While none of the neutral envoys
proposed joint action with the Ameri
can Government, they sought informa
tion for the guidance of their own for
eign offices. Chairman Flood and

Mondays War Moves
RUSSIA'S unexpected adoption of of
fensive operations in Poland, from
which the Germans apparently have
been withdrawing some forces both to
the north and south, furnishes the most
striking feature of the military situa
tion on the European continent.
From German sources it is insisted
that the plans for the capture of War
saw still are being pushed. Hut the
Russians lay claim to several minor
successes at various points and declare
that the German attack reached its
climax several days ago.
Another huge segment of the Rus
sian array is continuing its efforts for
a firmer foothold In the Carpathians,
but it is admitted that the Germans
and Austrians have gained some
ground. At one polit a severe snow
storm is said to have aided the Austro
Ilungarian troops in an action, which
Vienna states has resulted In heavy
losses to the Russian forces in Dukla
Tass.
From East Prussia there ia little
news, the Germans aspertin? they have
the situation well in hand, so fur ua
concerns the prevention of a further
Russian advance without the usual se
vere fifihting.
There ia no slackening of activity in
tho Carpathians, where the Austrians,
assisted by German reinforcements, are
struggling; with the Russians for mast
ery of the mountain passes, which give
access to Northern Hungary.
Important successes for the Russians
in several engagements are announced
officially at Petrosrad. It is said that
Austrian attacks broke down and that
in addition to inflicting1 heavy losses
on their opponent?, the Russians cap
tured 2500 prisoners.
"Serfs of the arrival at Liverpool
under the American flag ot the Cunard
steamer Lusltania was given much
space in the English papers yesterdwy.
The information was received too
late to permit of much editorial com
ment as yet, but enough has been
printed to show that the Incident Is
regarded as one of great Importance.
It is not generally expected, however,
that the British government will take
further action unless Washington re
quests an explanation.
In Prance and Flanders the situation
Is without change. Both sides were
alert for the slightest Indication of
activity on the part of their opponents.
The British and French are undoubt
edly taking advantage of every day's
delay to throw in reinforcements.
Army affairs came up for discussion
in the British Hou.se of Commons yes
terday and the Prime Minister made
the statement that the British casual
ties from the beginning of the war had
reached a total of 304,000. This Is an
average of 400W men weekly in killed,
wounded and missing.
GERMANY SURE TO STICK
Says Kniscr Will Stand hy Dual
Monarchy.
BUDAPEST, Feb. 8. The newspaper
Azest today publishes an Interview
which its Rome correspondent had with
Prince von Buelow, the German Am
bassador to Italy, in whirh the former
Imperial Chancellor denies he told the
Italian government that Germany
would not demur if the Austro-Hun-garian
monarchy wr.s destroyed. He
uSded:
"Germany is as little inclined to
leave the monarchy in the lurch as the
monarchy is inclined to conclude a scp
arate peace."
Regarding the Italian policy. Prince
Von BTielow said he was confident that
the wisdom and Judgment of the Ital
ian government would enablo it to find
tho right road to travel.
"Moreover," the Ambassador is quot
ed as saying, "Austria-Hungary wili
facilitate an arrangement whereby
Italy henceforth will be able to main
tain an untroubled understanding wltn
the central powers,"
