Id the communication relating to

engines and boilers, it was reported
that whereas she had been steaming

she dared make scarce 12 when she
reached American waters early
Wednesday morning.
After the ship went Into drydock
tonight she discharged the crews of
British, French and Russian ships she
had sunk, having released the Ameri
can crew in the afternoon. The French
crews left late tonight by the Old Do

Russians went with them. The British
crews plan to return to England on
British ships laden with horses from
this port.

BRITISH REPLY WILL

Be Held Inadequate.

How Would United States Se

BELGIAN ISSUE IS RAISED
Radical Change in Treatment of
People of Occupied Territory
Condition of Consideration
of Subject Presented.
LONDON, March 11. The British re
ply to the American note suggesting
that Great Britain allow all foodstuffs
to- enter Germany In return for Ger
many's abandonment of her submarine
warfare on merchant vessels and her
policy of mining the high seas is ex
pected to be forthcoming at an early
dale.
While the contents of the reply nat
urally are not known, it is possible as
the result of Inquiries In authoritative
quarters to indicate some points likely
to carry weight with the British gov
ernment and to emphasize Sir Edward
Grey's reply.
Quid Pro Uuo Held Insufficient.
There Is a strong feeling In Downing
street that the "quid pro quo" put for
ward in the American note does not go
far enough. Officials of the Foreign
Office point out that since the opening
of the war Great Britain has inter
fered only once with the supply of
food destined for Germany, and then
only after the German government, by
assuming control of all foodstuffs, had
abolished the old distinction between
the civil and the military population.
High German authorities repeatedly
have denied the British contention that
to cut off supplies of food from civil
ians, is a legitimate act of war. Great
Britain, it is insisted, never adopted
tlii3 view until the Germans by their
own a'cutmade it impossible any longer
to draw the line between non-combatants
and armed forces.
Belligerent Right Asserted.
Furthermore. . it ia added. Great
Britain is now Invited by the United
States to forego a clear belligerent
right on the understanding that Ger
many will abstain from committing
two but only two of many crimes
against both law and humanity.
Authoritative spokesmen ol the Brit
ish view lay stress on the "inadequacy"
of this proposal from two standpoints.
They ask, first, what guarantee is
forthcoming that Germany will Keep to
her agreement. Supposing, they urge,
an understanding were reached on the
lines suggested by the United States,
would the United States secure Its
strict observance?
It is assorted by them that Germany
has violated so many compacts nu
MNincluricd on Fase 3.)

Work but Lack Funds.
RECALL TALK IS HEARD
Brother Arrayed Against Brother
and North Half of County Talks
of Ousting Judge It Elected,
but Wants Engineer Kept.
Columbia County is facing a crisis
In Its road development campaign.
The people of that county, through
a bond issue and direct taxation, have
invested upwards of $ 260,0.00 in the Co
lumbia highway, but they have no
highway.
How, now, are they to proceed to
prevent their investment from going
to pot and to secure completion of
the road that will provide material aid
in the development of that section?
That is the problem that some of
the best minds in Columbia County
are trying to solve.
Efforts to bring about a satisfactory
solution have served only to emphasize
the perplexing situation In which the
county finds itself.
Resources Are Exhausted.
Its resources so far as they can be
applied to road work have been ex
hausted. The county has bonded it
self to the full legal limit 2 per cent
of its assessed valuation. It has in
vested the proceeds from the bond
sales In roads. Now it has neither
money nor credit, and alas, no roads'.
In their efforts to find a way out of
this most difficult situation the peo
ple of Columbia County have turned,
naturally, to consideration of . the
causes that brought them into it.
It is evident, plainly evident, that the
voters had no clear understanding of
precisely what was to be done with
the money accruing from the sale of
its bonds. It is evident that the county
officials and the state highway depart
ment had no mutual understanding on
this point
County Ia Divided.
And it is this point that has caused
nearly all the trouble in Columbia
County. It was over this point that
the old County Court the court that
was recalled a few months ago had
Its disagreement with Major II. L.
Bowlby, the state highway engineer.
The people of the south end of the
county including nearly the entire
population of St. Helens and Scappoose
are manifestly at variance with the
people of the north end of the county
including Rainier and Clatskanie
over just what was to have been done
with the bond money.
The old County Court evidently held

THE arrival t i German auxiliary

New
removing for a time at
. .V ' . .- n.i.t.k ahln.
O and the success of the British
troops in the region of La Bassee, are,
for the moment, the most Interesting
topics of discussion not only In Wash
ington but in London.
Whether the Frinz Iiitel Friedrich
will be interned or will set out for the
high seas. It is considered in London
that -her career as an armed cruiser
must come to an end, for should she be
allowed to sail after repairs, it Is bo
lieved that cruisers of the allies on the
watch will account for her.
The possible action of the American
Government with regard to the sinking
i by the Prtnz Kitel Friedrich of the
American ship William P. Frye also Is
being discussed in Great Britain, and
the general view there is that if the
United States allows German warships
to sink American ships with food sup
plies for England, that Government can
hardly protest against the allies' prohi
bition of foodstuffs for" Germany.
Of the reported British victory in
Northern France there Is no news be
yond the official reports. It Is believed
that, while no great amount of ground
has been captured, the Improvement In
tho British position brought about by
it is of the greatest importance, and if
further pressed might compel the Ger
mans to evacuate La Bassce and, per
haps, other . points which make their
line so strong at present.
Equally important, in the British
view, was the success achieved by Brit
ish airmen in destroying tho railway
junctions at Menin and C'ourtral. These
are on one of the German maiu lines
of communication, and their destruction
may delay the arrival of new contln
gents of troops, which are reported to
be concentrating again in Belgium for
another attempt to break through to
Calais and Boulogne.
According to Dutch reports these
troops have brought with them a large
number of . boats for the passage of the
canals and rivers, and for the first time
in months they include cavalry units.
There has been Borne fighting In
Champagne, but on tho whoiu the
French seemed to be satisfied for the
present with the progress they have
made in that region. In tho Vosges,
tho battle for Reich Ackerkopf has
been resumed.
These, however, are small affairs In
comparison with the battles which are
In progress In North Poland between
the Neimen and Vistula Rivers. The
Germans -apparently are falling back
in the north, but are fighting in
rear-guard action, which has reached
the importance of a pitched battle, and
are taking a few prisoners with them.
The Germans are again In Augustowo
forest, on the East Prussian border,
which has been the burial place of so
many German and Russian soldiers.
The Germans have brought up more
guns, but of a lighter caliber, to bom
bard Ossowetz, while farther to the
south, in the neighborhood of Ostro
lenka, they say they have defeated the
Russians. The battle on the roads from
Khorjele to Przasnysz, along which,
the Germans hope to reach and pierce
the Russian fortress line, still con
tinues. The weather having turned
colder, the ground In North Poland has
hardened, which will greatly facilitate
tho movement of troops. This Is said
to be- the first time in history that
the weather has favored an army at
tempting to invade Russia.
Reports from Tenedos say that the
Turkish artillery in the Dardanelles
grows weaker dally and that the last
bombardment by tho allied warships
badly damaged the forts at Clianak
Kalesl. Two big cruisers spent the
night in the straits protecting the ves
sels engaged in mine sweeping.
Dispatches from Rome Indicate that
the German Ambassador, Prince von
Buelow. has renewed his negotiations
with the Italian government with the
object of socurrng the continued neu
trality of that country in return for
territorial concessions in Austria. Aus
tria, however, is said to be opposed to
making any such concessions as would
satisfy Italy.
