LINER'S GREW ACCUSED LACK OF DISCIPLINE ON LU SIT AN I A IS CHARGED. Savlnr of Selvea Intimated aa Chief Interest; Percentage of .Women and Children Saved la Smalleat. LONDON, June 17. The public In quiry into the sinking of the steamer Lusitania by a German submarine was ended today. When the attorneys connected with the case were as'ced for their opinions today, A. C. Edwards, M. P., represent ing the Seamen's Union, said it was obvious that if a zig-zagging course were an element of safety, as an Ad miralty expert had testified, then the captain and owners of the steamer "showed grave culpability ." "Had it anything to do with "the calamity?" asked Baron Mersey. Mr. Kdwards replied that the evi dence disclosed the company was economizing in the consumption of coal The only question on which Baron Mersey desired light was the state. ment-of L). A. Thomas, the coal opera tor, that while the first and second class passengers were calm and the stewards and stewardesses brave and helpful, the steerage passengers were in contusion and members of the crew were mainly interested in saving them slves, giving a general appearance of lack of discipline. Solicitor-General Smith presented statistics of those saved, ehowlnir that 41 per cent of the crew. 38.8 per cent of tne male passengers, ,38.6 per cent of the female passengers and 27 per cent of the ennuren were rescued. Mr. Smith declared after submitting these figures, that they did not give a fair idea, as the women and children were unable to stand exposure, while the sailors and passengers who were able to swim were of more hardy physique. The outstanding questions, Mr. Smith said, were the responsibility of the ship's master and the company's action in restricting- the number of boilers in use. - PEACE LEAGUE ORGANIZED (Continued From First Page.

As Mr. Taft had to leave the city early, he called Professor John Basset Moore, Columbia University, to the chair and before leaving gave hearty indorsement to the report. Acta aa Well as Prayers Wanted. "We are in favor of doing something as well -as thinking something," Mr. Taft said. "I believe in praying for peace and I also believe in doing- some thing to support that prayer." One of the things that probably will be done, according to members of the executive committee, will be to start a propaganda In this country with a view to having the United States Senate adopt measures in line with the object of the. league. Mr. Taft in a brief speech today said that judging by its action in rejecting treaties in the past, the chief stumbling block to the aspir ations of the league would be the Sen ate. Steps will also be taken to get European countries interested in the league. MQ0SEARRAN6E FOURTH OREGON CITY LODGE CO-OPERATES WITH GLADSTONE IN PLANS. Several Thousand .

T June 17. That stronger military forces alone cannot secure the rights of the United States in a National crisis was the opinion ex pressed sere at tne opening of the con ference of international relations by Norman Angell, noted English peace advocate and author. "American rights can be protected only by, among other things," he said, "a radical form of .sea law that im plies an international law and. some means of enforcing it more effectively than taking sides in a war in which both sides may be violating it. If America means really to defend her own rights, safety and interests, to say nothing of her dignity, she must pre pare for taking her part in the better organization of the world."

Women Who Support Home Apt to Be Unfit Parents, Saya Physician Be fore Eclectic Sledlcal Aaaoclatlon. SAN FRANCISCO, June 17. Modern business life was said today to inter fere with healtn and motherhood in women by Dr. Ella M. Caryl, of Los Angeles, before the National Eclectic Medical Association. "Women who support a home are apt to unfit themselves automatically for motherhood and for health," she said. "Such a task should be undertaken only by women capable of meeting the de mands of the economic struggle." For better development she recom mended right exercise and medical ad vice during childhood. Corsets, she said, should never be. worn, but the muscular covering of the body .should be trained to do its natural work. A "good dose of common sense for mother" was. suggested by Dr. Harry V. Bram, of Los Angeles, as a remedy for conditions that have handicapped modern children. "Many babies when born look as if they had been through the boiling process," he said. "It is not to be wondered at in the light of the hurly burly,, tango existence which modern mothers enjoy from childhood to ma ternity. This fox trot pace set for women today, together with constant physical abuse, explains the disparity between children of today and their mothers, when tried out in the en durance test of life." The impossibility of right living in commercial centers, social tendencies to turn night Into day, cocktails and highballs, the lack of the mother in stinct among the well-to-do class and similar reasons were blamed for this condition. "Back to the farm," was "said to be tne only permanent cure. 682-MILE BATTLE IS ON GERMANS ATTEMPT DECISIVE OF FENSIVE IN EAST.

General von Mackensen, despite his reverse of a few days ago, has re newed his attack, and. according to an official German report, is sweeping the rtussians in central uallcla toward their own frontier. The Petrograd War Office previously had admitted the retreat of Its army in Bukowina back across the border into Russia. The Germans have connected their offensive by new and vigorous attacks In Central and North Poland and ex tremely desperate fighting is report ed, in which Russian cavalry is figur ing prominently with sabers. The Russian official communication admits losing ground in Galicia and in the Baltic provinces, but adds that counter attacks have been successful at various points and that appalling losses are being inflicted on the Aus-tro-Germana. An Idea of the desperate efforts made by the Germans is given In a Russian report which says the Teutons fired tens of thousands of shells into the small town of Jednorojetz, North Po land, within a short time. The vicious attack that followed is said to have been repulsed. ' Amazing Honors for "Made in V. S. A." Products.
