OREGONIAN NEWS BUR EAT', Wash ington. .Sept. 15. If the law officers of the Government come to the conclusion that Captain James F. J. Archibald, American messenger of Ambassador Huraba, Captain Franz von Papen of the German Embassy and of others, violated a statute of the United States in acting as an agent of the Austrian and German diplomatic repre sentatives in this country, the State lepartment, it is believed, will ask that this "soldier of fortune" be placed on trial and given the limit of the law, if he can be convicted. Before leaving; England and after his papers had been seized by the British authorities. Captain Archibald set up the claim that he knew nothing of the contents of the documents he was carrying' to Vienna and to Berlin. That, doubtless, will be his defense when he is called before the American authorities to explain his part in the Dumba sensation. But to persons who know Archibald, this explanation does not explain. Status Long Mysterious. "Jimmy" Archibald is well known in Washington. His wife, his mother end sister make Washington their home, and it is his home when he is not traveling. For years" Archibald has been a well-known though some what mysterious figure in the National Capital. He had a wide circle of ac quaintances, but few confidants. Ills movements long were watched by in terested persons, but not until he was proved to be a messenger for the Austrian Ambassador was Washington at all satisfied, as to his true status. Archibald was one of those men who always managed to live well and com fortably, without visible means of sup port. He lived by his wits. He did some writing, but not enough to bring in an income which would enable him to maintain two expensive apartments in this city, onje for his wife and the other for his mother and sister. He was a member of seveml Washington clubs, and a frequenter of those clubs .when in Washington. At times he wtmt on the lecture platform, and having a pleasant address and a good com mand of language, he met with reason able success, from a financial stand point. l.retnreNTour Recalled. And Archibald also mingled to a great extent in the social set, and particularly with the diplomatic ele ment in that set. When "Jimmy" Archibald went on the lecture platform and made a trip to the Pacific Coast, he loudly championed'-the German-Austrian cause, as he did in his writings from Europe during the period he was there, sup posedly as war correspondent. So pronounced was he in advocacy of the German-Austrian cause that it was commonly said Archibald- was in the employ of those two governments, or of one of them, and this belief gained much strength when, the New York World disclosed the fact that Am bassador von Bernstorff had been spending large sums of money in get ting favorable publicity and in hiring lecturers to espouse the German cause. Archibald was more than once con fronted with the charge that he was in German employ, but always denied the charge, declaring lie was voicing only his personal beliefs. Having thus estimated "Jimmv" Archibald, Washington is not disposed to place credence in his claim that he v.as Ignorant of the contents of the papers he was carrying to Vienna and to Berlin, and especially is this as sertion discredited when it is known that Archibald was on such intimate terms with the German and the Aus trian Ambassadors, and when it is known he dined with those two diplo mats immediately before sailing on his ill-latcd mission SHIP LINE LOSES SUIT CA W l, SMDKS II KM) TO BE BE. VO.D CONTROL. Pacific Mall Company Losn Cane for FMMMKIO ABraln.it l:ovcniment for Mnklng of Steamer. NEW YORK, Sept. 15. Federal Judge Hough, in a decision rendered here to day, sustained the contentions made by the Government in the Admiralty suit for SOO,OUO brought by the I'acific Mail Steamship Company, as owner of the steamer Newport, against the Pan American Railroad Company. On August 17, 1912, 230 feet of the bulkhead of a pier at Balboa. Canal Zone, collapsed, throwing 18,000 tons of earth and two large electric cranes into the water. The steamer Newport, which was alongside the dock, was fcunk. The Pacific Mail Company brought suit, contending the bulkhead had been improperly constructed and that dredg ing for the canal work and marine chajinels had weakened the structure. The Panama Railroad, owned by the Government, was made defendant. The steamship company asked $800,000 for damages to and cost of raising the Newport and for loss of cargo and revenue. Judge Hough awarded the Govern ment costs of the suit, in which numer ous experts were examined and testi mony taken both here and iff the Canal Zone. The decision upheld the Government's contention, first offered by General Goethals, that the slide was peculiar to the Canal Zone section and that there was neither any means of preventing nor method of ascertaining the immi nence of a slide.

The London newspapers, both editorially and in letters to the editor, are giving an in creased amount of space to the re cent air raids on this city. Two gen eral lines of comment are adopted, one of gratitude at the appointment of Sir Percy Scott to take cnarge of the de fenses of London from aerial attacks: the other, sarcastic criticism that some similar steps have not been taken be fore them. "It is getting rather hard to keep up with the Zeppelin visits," says the Pall Mall Gazette. "Lately they seem to have taken place every night. There was another on the night of the 13th, and maybe later in the day we shall hear of a raid last night. Remember ing the raids that have come oft we are apt to forget the failures. We are inclined to believe that only a little extra luck enabled the invader to slip through a week ago. HcpriMalj to Be Demanded.

Count von Reventlow's pleas for greater vehemence in the air attacks on London have been published here. BERLIN, via lxndon. Sept. 15. Count von Reventlow, the naval writer. replies in the Tages Zeitung today to British criticisms of German airship raids over London. He says that Lon don is a fortress and that Sir Percy Scott, the newly appointed defender of the city from aerial attacks, should order the civil population of London to depart. Attacks Declared treat The airship attacks. Count von Reventlow insists, are legal and of a purely military character, aimed at the destruction of vessels, wharves and magazines and other property serving war purposes directly or in directly. He concludes: "We hope confidently that the say ing: 'Throwing bombs on London,' will soon be as trite as the phrase, 'carry ing coals to Newcastle.' with the dif ference, however, that in Newcastle there are coals enough, while in Lon don by far too few. German bombs have thus far exploded." ' Top, Captain Frary von I'apec; Ilelow ll.eftt, Jamn K.

FRENCH NAVY IS VIGILANT Effeetive Measures Declared in Voree Against Submarines. PARIS. Sept. 15. The Ministry of Marine announced today that measures had been taken which would enable the navy to deal with German submarines.

NATURE WILL CURE COHSTIPATIQH All hc needs is a very little help. Constipation is caused by accumulated waste in the Colon (Large Intestine), which, under our present mode of living. Nature cannot entirely remove without a little help. The rank poisons in this waste get into the blood circulation too, and make us feel depressed, blue, bilious and incompetent really sick if allowed to gro a little too far. All the help that Nature asks, however, is Internal Bathing with Warm Water, ap plied by the "J. B. L. Cascade." This, m a perfectly natural and rational way, cleans out all the waste and poisons from the Colon and keeps it as sweet, clean and pure by occasional use as Nature demands for a perfectly healthy condition. So invariably successful has this new and improved method of Internal Bathing proved to be that over 300,000 Americans are now cninusiasucau uiug n m vui c Constipation, ward off disease, and keep them bright, vigorous and efficient. The "J. B. K. Cascade" is now being shown by the Woodard Clark & Co.'s Drug Store in Portland. Call and let us explain how simply it accomplishes these great re sults. Alio ask us for fre booklet.

"Japan realizes that all the allies must co-operate to defeat our common enemy, and has decided to give further assistance to the allies. We have sent explanations to our Ambassadors abroad to that effect, he said. The Premier referred to the sacri fices Japan had already made, but pointed out that they were not as great as those of her allies, for whom the stake was their national welfare. Jap anese workshops and workmen, lie ex plained, were not trained to the manu facture of such large amounts of muni tions, but there has been a great im provement, and he predicted their out put in the future would be sufficient to meet the demands of the entente powers.
