VIEW CHANGES SUDDENLY Secretary Recently Indicated His I Approval of Proposed Establish ing of Submarine Station as Wanted by Board. OREGOXIAN" NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Feb. 18. Notwithstanding the ; Secretary of the Xavy today Bent Con gress an adverse report on the Hawley bill proposing- the establishment of a naval base on the Columbia River near ' Astoria. Representative Hawley will go before the naval committee in the near . future to urge the incorporation of his : bill in the naval expansion bill, and '. will point to the testimony of Admirals ; Winslow and Gram as showing that, in ; the judgment of naval experts, there is ' need for a naval station on the Colum ; bia River for a submarine base, if not ' for a full-fledged naval base. ; Secretary Daniels, in recommending : against the Hawley bill, says: "In view of the very large expendi ture called for by the department's building programme for ships, ammuni- tion. reserve supplies, etc., the depart- . ment does not recommend the establish ment of any further naval bases to the .' present Congress and therefore cannot . recommend the bill authorizing the es- I tablishment of a naval base on the Co- ' lumbla River near Astoria. He also refers to the committee the : report of the Naval Board of July 23, i 1900. favoring a naval base on tne Co- ; lumbia. and Tteys that in considering this report its date and the increase in size of vessels of the Navy since that date should be remembered." Secretary Daniels has undergone a complete change of front since Repre sentative Hawley s conference witn . him about 10 days ago. At that time he spoke favorably of the Columbia River project and indicated clearly that - if he could not favor a full naval base lie probably would favor the estab lishment of a submarine base. His re port today seems to indicate hostility to both projects, notwithstanding " bureau chiefs in his department are in favor of a submarine base in the Co lumbia River.

They will tell you that such and such a medi cine contains as much alcohol as a glass of beer or a certain quantity of whisky: but they do not mention that the beer or whisky is swallowed at one draugnt, wnue only a small quan tity of the medicine is taken at one dose. At the same time they will use alcohol quite as freely and many in four or five times as great proportions In their own prescriptions. Such standard remedies as Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound use barely enough alcohol to preserve the root and herb extractives, too little to have injurious effects; and the medi cine can be hed. if desired, in a non alcoholic form.

WMIM Ships Bound for Britain. DECISION DECLARED NEAR Itisk Recognized, but Thought Less ened by Attitude of American Congress Regarding Presi dent's Foreign Policy. BERLIN, via London, Feb. 28. George Bernhard. in a leading article in the Vossische Zeitung, calls for the destruction of all ships bound for Eng land, whether armed or not He points to the seizure by Portugal of German ships, which he says probably will be used under the Portuguese Hag to carry foodstufis to England. The writer fears also that many German ships now lying in South American harbors may eventually be employed for the same purpose, and asks: "Shall we then let these ships quietly pass, which as unarmed Eng lish merchantmen cross the ocean? We shall do so if we hold to the phan tom of torpedoing only armed mer chantmen and of sparing neutral ships In all circumstances." Herr Barnhard thinks that war should be carried out not against cer tain categories of British snips, Dut against British commerce on the seas, and declares that the new submarine campaign is the only permissible mea sure of reprisal "against England s breach of International law. If it does not accomplish the object. which is to prevent the provisioning of England, he adds, "a deathblow can be dealt England only If we direct a request to all neutral states to be kind enough to keep out of English coastal waters for a specified time, since. otherwise, we cannot assume responsi bility for their ship losses. The leading German statesmen, Herr Barnhard continues, must soon deter mine whether to take this course, and he adds: It is not without risk, but the greatest risk would be neglected op- portunity. Moreover the risk is per haps smaller since the American Con press shows signs of demanding that the decision in international affairs be taken f rem the President's hands and I placed In those of Congress." POSTAL BILL IS PASSED PEBSISTF.XT OPPOS1TIOV IS OVER COME IN IIOt SiK. Spare Basis Snh(ltnrd for Weight System of Paying Railways; Par rel Post Limit la SO Pounds. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Over bitter and persistent opposition the House to night passed the annual postoffce ap propriation bill with its provisions for substituting a -space basis for the pres- ent .weight system of paying railroads for carrying mails, and prohibiting any increase in the existing limit of 50 pounds on parcel post packages. The measure carries appropriations aggre gating 1321.000.000 to operate the post- 1 system during the coming year. The fight against the space payment plan, long advocated by the Postoffice Department and vigorously opposed by the railroads, was led by Represen tative Cannon, of Illinois.

A motion to send it back to the committee was voted down, 174 to 139. DIVORCE RATIO IS SMALL! Vancouver as Gretna Green Has Large Proportion of Marriages. VANCOUVER, Wash., .Feb. 28. (Spe cial.) The ratio of marriages to di vorces granted in Clarke looks favor able to this community, but figures, in this case, while they do not actually lie, make conditions look different The number of divorces granted in 1910 was 64, while 447 marriage licenses were Issued. In 1915, the number of divorces was 75 and the number of marriages was 1S07. Vancouver is a Gretna Green to which lovelorn couples from all parts of the Pacific Isorthwest make pilgrim ages, and as a consequence about as many marriage licenses are Issued in Vancouver as In Portland. But those who procure divorces must live here at least six months, and as result, not so many flock here. So the divorces more nearly represent normal conditions, while the number of mar riage licenses is abnormal. BUNKS ARE NOT REQUIRED Commission Rules Obligation Is Shipper's, Not Carrier's. SALEM, Or., Feb. 28. (Special.) After a hearing upon the complaint of State Labor Commissioner Hoff, the Public Service Commission today held that the Southern Pacific Company is not compelled to provide its logging cars with bunks or unloading devices. "The obligation of providing such un usual facilities, in the event the con signee's agents should demand them," ruled the Commission, "rests upon the shipper and is not a part of the obli gation of the common carrier."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. Senators in terested in legislation for the develop ment of waterpower planned today to shorten debate on the subject of at taching as an amendment to the Shields dam bill, now up for passage, the Myers waterpower bill, which has been fa vorably reported by the public lands committee. The Shields bill, which would permit construction of dams on navigable rivers for the development of hydro electric power by private capital, has been before the Senate more than two weeks. Much of the argument both for and against the measure apply equally to the Myers measure, which was introduced by Senator Myers as a substitute to the Ferris waterpower bill, which has passed tHe House. Provision Is made in the Myers bill for the leasing of public lands as water- power sites, regulation and control being left to the Interstate Commerce Commission when the power is devel oped in two or more states. Applicant for lease would have to comply with requirements of state laws for obtaining the right to use the water. Fifty per cent of the return from such leases would be paid to the state in which the plant was located and the other 50 per cent would go to the fund for reclamation projects in arid states. The Shields bill made some advances toward passage during the day. An amendment by Senator Cummins, which received the approval of Senator Shields, provides that compensation shall be arrived at by the law of the state governing the condemning of pri vate property for public use in that state. The indications are favorable for the passage by the benate this week of the Shields bill. The proposal. to offer the amended Ferris bill as an amend ment or rider to the Shields bill prob ably will be abandoned. The public lands committee tomorrow will deter mine whether the Ferris bill Bball be offered as a rider or take chances as separate measure. Senator Shields and- Senator Jones today expressed the belief that the Senate Would pass the Shields bill by a two-to-one vote, and that if the Ferris bill should be offered as a rider they thought it would be rejected by practically the same ma jority. This means that the Ferris bill cannot be brought before the Senate for some time, as the steering commit tee has put the armor-plate bill next on tho calendar after the Shields bill.
