Many Portland persons were inter' ested to learn yesterday through the Associated Press dispatches from London that Lieutenant Frank G. An dreae. one of the British aviators, had carried out a successful air attack on the German submarines which are be' ing constructed at Hoboken, near Ant werp, for the daring young officer vis ited Portland only last August. A pretty romance Is connected with Lieutenant Andreae's visit. He was. at that time, on his way to England to offer his services to his country. The war had just begun and its probable duration could not even be conjectured. But he lingered long enough in Port' land and vicinity to conduct a min iature campaign of warfare all his own. He laid siege to the heart of one of Portland a most popular young women, and before he left she had capitulated. On October 23 the engagement of Lieutenant Andreae and Miss Georgi anna Leadbetter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred W. Leadbetter, was an nounced. Aiiss Leadbetter and Lieutenant An dreae first met about two years ago, when she accompanied her father on a business trip to British Columbia. The young officer then was connected with the pulp mi!ls of the Ocean Falls Com pany. Limited, at Ocean Falls, B. C Their courtship continued through the interim and doubtless was hastened, to a happy conclusion by the outbreak of the war. Lieutenant Andreae is a member of a prominent English family and has extensive business connections In Amer ica. He always has been interested in aviation, however, and was eager for the opportunity of Joining the aerial corps of the British army. Reports r $l 1 ,,( ,.

Sheriff Wilson and Deputy Frost left Oregon City tonight for Oak Grove In pursuit of the daring daylight rob. ber who broke into the home of Mrs. Tonsing and obtained a quantity of jewelry and 115 in cash. The house was robbed while UnJ Tonsing was at the home of a neighbor. The Tonsing home is within a few feet of other houses and on the main trav eled road between Oregon City and Portland. Xeigbbers. whs saw a man near the Tonsing house, say he is about 45 years old. weighs 150 pounds and has the appearance of a foreigner. unemployed through the stoppage work in factories and the .paralysis or industry. Efforts were made to find emnloyment for them, but in spite o all that could be done, the end of March saw 100.000 men without work In Italy and threatening disorder. .Money Ceases to Flow In. In normal times Italians abroad send S2t'.000.000 yearly into Italy. This sum was reduced in 1914 to J700.000 and i threatens to be much less in 1SI. ror elgn visitors were counted on to spend in Italy 150,Ot)U,ouo a year; mis source of revenue also has almost entirely ceased. The budget of the government, which for vears has shown a surplus, inci cated for the past eight months a le ficit of 13.00r00. due largely to in loss of duties on grain amounting to $7. 800,000. The duty on grain was re duced in October. 1914. and abolished January 31 of this year. Nevertheless, the price of wheat has doubled. The remainder of the deficit is due to shrinkage in tax returns. Taxes Higher, Food Dearer. The deficiency has a tendency to aug ment and at the same time taxes are increasing. Hand in hand with thl go advances in the price of food. Bread now costs more, in spite or the re stricted consumption of flour, and other products of first necessity are today dearer. This is especially true of vegetables. The heaviest burden on the govern ment is represented by the expenses of the army and navy. About 3400,000, 000 was spent to bring these two branches up to their present standard of perfection and efficiency. Today they are costing to maintain 12,000.000 a day.

"Who is going to wear these millions of shoes and shirts?" they ask. They refuse to believe that there are so many soldiers in France.
