CABINET IS AGREED
OU TERMS OF REPLY
Responsibility Is to Be
Put on Germany;
NO THREAT, HOWEVER, MADE
Air of Finality Will Put Curb
on Negotiations.
FIRMNESS TO BE SHOWN
Washington Takes Position Future
Must Be Determined by Course
of Berlin and Desires of
American People.
WASHINGTON. July 20. President
Wilson and his Cabinet decided tonight
on the general principles of the note to
be sent to Germany within a few days,
renewing the efforts to secure for
American citizens protection of their
rights on the high seas.
The President referred to his official
family, assembled for the first time in
a month, on a draft answering the Ger
man government's note of July 8, which
failed to grant the demands of the
United States growing out of the sink
ing of the Lusitania. The draft was
complete in form.
Cabinet I I" naniino uh.
On Its character and purposes there
was unanimous agreement and Secre
tary Lansing was at work tonight put
ting in more precise language the ideas
set forth. Members of the Cabinet gen
erally preserved secrecy regarding the
probable contents of the proclamation
and the President cautioned against de
tailed speculation in advance of the
publication of the document, lest mis
taken impressions be cabled abroad be
fore the actual text is received in Ber
lin. Such information as was obtainable
concerning the nature of the new note
was chiefly of a negative character.
No Threat to Be Conveyed.
Cabinet officers made it clear that
It would not be an ultimatum or make
any threats as to the future purposes
of the United States. At the same
lime they pointed out that it probably
would have an air of finality, curtailing
the field of discussion and negotiation
and placing squarely on Germany the
responsibility for any actions that
might subsequently endanger the
friendly relations of the two countries.
The communication will be couched in
friendly terms, although It will follow
the spirit of firmness that has charac
terized previous notes.
Desires of People Discussed.
Today's conference was devoted
largely to a discussion of what the
American people really wanted the
Washington Government to say and do
in. the present crisis. So far as the
Cabinet officers could judge by their
examination of public expressions, the
Is'ation had voiced an insistent desire
that the honor and dignity of the
United States be upheld in the corre
spondence with Germany, but that a
course be followed which would main-,
tain peace.
On Germany's next reply and. the
crystallization of public opinion there
after, will depend to a. large ex
tent, according to intimations from of
ficials, what the action of the United
States would be concerning future vio
lations of American rights.
Orilnnfi Affair to Cause No Delay.
Secretary Lansing said today that no
complete report of what had occurred
in the encounter between the British
liner Orduna and a German submarine
had reached the State Department.
An investigation had been instituted
through the Treasury Department and
a. report Is expected within a few
days, but the dispatch if. the note to
Germany will not be delayed. It was
officially announced, on account of the
Orduna case.
A statement received from William
O. Thompson, counsel of the industrial
relations commission, who was on board
the Orduna, was referred to by Secre
tary Lansing as giving only a part of
information necessary to form a Judg
ment of legality or illegality of the
attack.
Mr. Thompson was aroused only after
several shells had been fired and after
a torpedo was alleged to have been
seen. No testimony is as yet available
to show whether the attack was made
without warning.
Count von Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, was at the State Depart
ment today on what he referred to as
routine business. He had no informa
tion on the Orduna case and did not see
Secretary Lansing.

ZAPATA (OCCUPIES
CAPITAL OF MEXICO
Carranza General Has

NEWS AMAZES WASHINGTON
Battle With Villa Forces at
Pachuca Hourly Expected.
FOOD SITUATION IS BAD
Manager of American Red Cross
Says Relief or People Vnder
Present Circumstances
Is Xot Possible.
WASHINGTON. July 20. Dispatches
to the State Department from Mexico
City late today announced that Zapata
forces reoccupled the capital Sunday,
following the evacuation by the Car
ranza army under General Gonzales.
Zapata officials were said to have re
sumed full control of the city, from
which they were driven ten days ago
by Gonzales, who now has gone north
ward with his troops to meet an ad
vancing Villa force.
This unexpected development came
as a surprise, not only to officials of
the Washington Government, but to
both the Mexican agencies. It had been
supposed that the Zapata army, de
feated and harassed on retreat, was
operating along the railroad to Vera
Cruz, waiting an opportunity to form
a junction with the Villa column ap
proaching from the north.
Battle Near Pachuca Kxpected.
No word has been received of the
whereabouts of General Gonzales since
he quit the capital. News of a battle
near Pachuca, already reached by
Villa's men, is hourly expected and may
already have occurred, messages being
sent here requiring about 24 hours in
transmission. Other reports to the
State Department during the day said'
that railroad communication between
Vera Cruz and Mexico City was sus
pended "on account of the present mil
itary operations," but no details of the
operations were disclosed.
Suspension of railroad communica
tion is viewed here with alarm for the
suffering people in Mexico City, as this
action completely cuts off the sending
of much-needed food supplies.
Food Sttuatlcm Drapmir.
A private message from a responsible
source received today pictured the sit
uation as desperate. The State Depart
ment announcement tonight regarding
the latest change in authority of Mex
ico City said:
"The department is In receipt of ad
vices, dated about noon on the 19th,
from Mexico City saying that the
evacuation of the city is complete. Tl
Zapatistas occupied the city of the aft

DISMISSAL OF CHIEF ASKED
Congress Proposes to Stop
'Peace-at-Any-Price' Move.
IDEAS CALLED INIMICAL
Delegates Regard Commissioner's
Efforts as Use of Government
Weapons Against Interests of
Country and Ask Check.
Instead of softening the resolution
against P. P. Claxton, fnited States
Commissioner of Education, which was
introduced on the first day of the Con
gress of the Sons of the American Rev
olution by Christopher W. Horr, of
Seattle, the resolutions committee ex
tended, it to include a suppression
of the publication of American School
Peace League literature through the
Federal bureau.
This resolution was submitted and
adopted by an enthusiastic vote at the
session yesterday.
While the clauses condemning the
statements of Commissioner Claxton
are points that aroused the greatest In
terest when the action was brought
into the Congress, the resolution con
cerning the publication of the Ameri
can School Peace League, if it work
out as Is Intended by the society, will
have a much broader effectiveness In
forwarding the campaign of the Sons
of the American Revolution against
the "peace at any price"" movement.
Slovesnent Called lalmlcal.
This clause was attached to the end
of the Claxton resolution and Is a pro
test against any further printing, under
the authority ot the Federal Commis
sioner of Kducalicn at Federal ex
pense, the laterature used by the Amer
ican School Peace League In Its prop
aganda. The sons of the American Revolu
tion maintained that the publication of
this matter at the Government expense
Is merely permitting the American
School of Peace league to utilize the
instruments of the Government to fur
ther a movement which Is In Itself
Inimical to the. welfare and Integrity
of the Government. .
Resolutions were Introduced urging
that more time be given in the public
schools to. the teaching of American
history and to the Inculcating Into the
minds of the pupils the principles and
traditions upon which the American
Government rests. This resolution was
referred to the executive committee
with instructions to map out a general
plan, for the adoption of which In tho
schools of the country the Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution
will work.

EUGENE. Or.. July 20. (Special.)
Under a sweltering sun Eugene had the

Elmer Paine. prominent banker,

knocked the hobo-banker downstairs
with a broom. A similar scene was
staged at another residence. A picnic
was in progress on the F. E. Dunn
lawn at Eleventh and Patterson streets,
in which W. A. Bell. Mayor, and 40
leading business men and society and
clubwomen were participating.
Paine, the hobo, stole a pie from
Dean Hayes, a local merchant, clad In
skirts, as the hired girl. A-chase then
ensued, with the hired girl leading.
It led past the swimming hole at the
university, and the party In turn dived
Into the water.
Downtown the Chief of Police took
six shots at the fleeing banker-hobo
and six times the hobo leaped Into the
air in a painful wriggle. The capture
was effected and he was finally placed
behind the bars.

Yesterday was the twentieth day of
July and the thermometer at 5 o'clock
In "the afternoon registered 100 de

Remarkable. Indeed, but net half so
remarkable as if the thermometer had
plven a similar performance on the
twentieth day of December. Anyway,
cooler weather is promised for today,
although it will he hot enough yet to
be notioenble.
Nevertheless, whenever the tempera

I'leaty f Rerarla Krnkea.
It Is then that the editor knows lh.it
the people w-il want a weather Mory
In the paper the next morning, so here
It is:
To begin with there are plenty ot
broken records to write about.
It was the hottest day of the year
by more than, four decrees ami it w.ts
the hottest July ;0 on record.
It was the second time In the his
tory of the Portland weather office
that the thermometer went up to the
even century mark and stayed there
without solnir farther, although thrice
before It went up over 100.
The hottest time In the history of
Portland so far as hot times can b
measured by the thermometer was on
July iX 1891, when It was 102 decrees.
But this record was tied on July 3.
1907.
Mercury Once at 101.
On July 3. 1906. the mercury wont up
to 101 decrees, only they don't measure
the temperature in the official weather
office with mercury. They have some
sort of apparatus up on the roof of the
custom-hou.e building delicately art
Justcd so that it Is affected by the least
degree of heat or cold, and It record
its feelings down In the weather bureau
by a finely attuned electrical instru
ment which splits the heat units into
the hundre-dth part of a degree. It is
nice and cool down where the elec
trical recorder Is located and the Gov
ernment officials can fit there In their
shirt sleeves In comfort and watch the
wheels go around.
It was on July 25. 1904. that the little
electrical instrument recorded an even
100 !e'rees. and on that occasion It
also happened about a o'clock In the
afternoon.
1 "reseat Heat Rarely Koaaled.
The weather experts have some kind
of a scientific cxrlanatlon ot the tem
perature reaching its maximum height
along toward S o'clock In the evening.'
but It Is sufficient to say that the ac
tual performances of the weather sel
dom vary from this rule.
In only five previous years, other
than those already mentioned, did the
thermometer go up as high as 99 de
grees. The respective dates were:
June 17. 1S76; July 6. 1SJ; May 29,
1SS7; July S. 190i and July It, 1911.
The previous high mark this year
was on July 1. when it got up to 95.6
decrees.
Yesterday's scorcher started in with
the early morning and kept up a
steady business right through the day
until after 5 o'clock, when it started
to recede a little. Ity g o'clock last
night It had cooled off enough to per
mit the men who had hed their coats
during the day to don them once more
with comfort.
