Reports received from Berlin said the Germans, who are In the hands of the French, were mistreated. Lien tenant von Schlerstaedt Is said to have been sentenced to deportation to French Guiana and to have been chained to another convict. The German press demanded re prlsals and six French officers cap tured by the Germans were picked out for harsh treatment. Some time ago the American Ambassador at the re quest of the French Government In' formed the Berlin Foreign Office that th Germans would be treated as pris oners of war and not as criminals.

In the same manner England today regarda It aa aa un friendly act and a menace to peace if tiermaay refuses to enter by contract into an obligation to depend upon the mercy of England." The Belgian Ambassador at Berlin, on April 17. 1909. thua characterized the treachery of Italy: - 'For a long time past no one in either Berlin or Vienna has Indulged in Illusions ss to the probsble ssslstance of Italy.

OPPOSITION IS CERTAIN Selection of McAdoo to Purti Moaa- sre Unfortunate Secretary Has Made Knemiea Who May Embarrass Efforts. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Aug-, t. Evidence continues to accumulate thst the Administration will renew Its fight for the ship-purchase bill when Congress reconvenes. Secretary McAdoo la still directing the rimini.t ntinn nl.ns. and after a recent conference with the President. runtrtid his belief that the neces sity for a large American merchant marine Is more pressing now than ever before. The way to provide that tnar-h.n( marine. In his opinion, is through Government purchase or con atruellon. Senator Williams, of Mississippi, the bitterest of the fighters for the ship purchase bill at the last session, and tha ataunchest supporter of that Ad ministration measure, was Quoted re cently aa saying. "The ahip-purchase bill Is more necessary now man it waa when first Introduced in Congress. Dit bv dir we see emphasized the necessity for more American ships on the high seas. I want 10 see me uot- ernment own these ships and nave what profit there may be In tne trans action.' McAdoo Net Politic!". The Administration Is unfortunate In selecting Secretary McAdoo to man age the ship-purchase bllL Mr. Mc Adoo is a man of irritable disposition; he Is possessed of no patience what ever, and to his wsy of thinking a Democratic Congress should do the bidding of a Democratic President without question. He ' regards most Congressmen and Senators as puppets. possessed of inferior brains and utile judgment, and his appearance before committees of Congress usually starts trouble. Whatever else he may be. Secretary McAdoo Is not a politician. He is not cut out tot a lobbyist, and he will not have the support of Mr. Bryan when he goes to Congress, as representative of the President, and demands the passage of the ehip-purchaae bill. By Interfering in tha distribution or New York patronage, and by crowding Tammany Democrats away from the Administration's patronage pie coun ter. Secretary McAdoo has made many bitter enemies among the Democratic members of the New Tork State dele gation, and if he goes to Congress next Winter to take charge or tne campaign for the ship-purchase bill, he Is likely to arouse the IT Tammany men In the House and array them against his bill. ' Other Democrats Oppose Bill There are other Democrats who are opposed to this bill on principle, among them being Representative Kltchln, of North Carolina, who Is to succeed Mr. Underwood as floor leader. Mr. Kltchin has served notice that he will fight this btU if it Is revived, and he is not a man to be bulldozed, even by the son-in-law of the President. There probably will be votes enough to pass the ship-purchase bill through the next 6enate. Whether there will be a majority for the bill in the House is questionable. It is the House, and not the Senate, that threatens to de feat this Administration bill, and if the House does defeat it, it will do so speedily, for filibustering cannot be long continued in the lower branch of Congress. Should the House pass the bill, however, the filibuster in the Senate unquestionably will be. revived. Canadian Losses Total 10.080. OTTAWA. Ontario, Aur. .
