BERLIN. April 6. (By wireless to
Bayville, N. T.) Two statements in Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg's speech in the
Reichstag have attracted especially the
attention of the public, the first being
that in which he alluded to the sub
marine warfare and the relations of
Germany with the United States and
the second being the intimations re
garding Germany's reace terms, when
for the first twne he referred to the
possibility of Germany's withdrawing
from Belgium which. however, he
said, must be a "new Belgium."
His words in this latter connection
are interpreted as an affirmation that
Germany would not evacuate a country
where the blood of persons had been
shed without receiving necessary guar
antees regarding its future.
' Flemish l'ortion Recognized.
The '"new Belgium" must include
L special disposition for ' the Flemish
portion of the kingdom, a hint of the
nature of which is regarded, as being
given by the Chancellor's use of the
word "Netherlandish." He spoke of
the necessity of assuring to the "long
oppressed Flemish inhabitants," an op
portunity for development on the basis
"their Netherlandish language and
characteristics."
Dr. Peter Spahn, leader of the Cath
olic Center party, and Friederich
Kbert. Socialist leader, delivered
speeches in the Reichstag concurring
in the views which Dr. von Bethmann
Hollweg. the Imperial Chancellor, had
expressed, the Overseas News Agency
ays.
Enemies Said to Refnne Peace.
TIerr Ebert said that Germany's en
emies, and especially the Socialists in
enemy countries, declined peace and
asked for the annihilation of Ger
many, and that, therefore, it was the
duty of Germans to stand firmly by
their government and their country.
With regard to the question of an
nexations, Herr Ebert pointed out that
Germany could not give back the freed
Polish, Lithuanian and other provinces
to the reactionary Russian yoke, and
this is to be unurstflod in the light of
the Chancellor's declaration that Ger
many does not want to crush other
races, but wants a basis for the peace
ful development of European civilization.

NEW YORK. April . Alexander
Jessup, who described himself as an
editor and author, was arrested today
by postoffice inspectors and held for

fraud. Jessup's accusers allege he
duped aspiring writers In a new liter
ary swindle.
Jessup, it is charged, inserted adver
tisements in magazines, soliciting con
tributions from budding authors for
his short story magazine, "The Blue
Moon." When manuscripts were sub
mitted to him, it is charged, he sug
gested the payment to" him of varying
sums for his services as editor. The
Government asserts the "Blue Moon"

FUND RAISED TO $1000
Astoria Pledges More tJlonoy for
Naval-Base Committee.
A telephone message . from Astoria
to Wallace IX. Struble, secretary of the
naval base committee, at his Portland
headquarters yesterday conveyed the
news that more than $400, in addition
to the $615 already subscribed for the
prosecution of the work at Washing

committee had been received.

months.
reply from the German government to
thu inquiries he made regarding the
attacks on the Sussex and other vessels
which recently met with disaster while
carrying American citizens. Reports in
press dispatches saying that the Ger
man Admiralty had countered the in
quiry with a Request for more specific
details on the Sussex case were read by
officials with much interest. It was
said that the new request had not been
received at the State Department.
IIouxe'H Vlxlt Attract Attention.
It was reiterated today that before
any step leading to a rupture of rela
tions with Germany was taken th
President would go before Congress
with the facts.
The Cabinet will meet tomorrow and
will have before it the mass of in
formation which has been forwarded
from France and England regarding
the Sussex and other vessels.
The visit of Colonel House to the
White House attracted attention be
cause it was the third time he has
been here since he returned from
Europe a few weeks ago, after dis
cussing the submarine and other issues
with American diplomatic agents
abroad and officials of Germany,
France and Great Britain. He was in
conference with officials nearly all day
Secretary Lansing was at the White
House for an hour this afternoon.
FISKE REQUEST DENIED
COMMITTEE IVOT TO MEET TO HEAR
REPLY TO DANIELS.
Admiral Says He Did Sot Tell Naval
Secretary That Admiral Fletcher
Did Biot Want Fleet Command.
WASHINGTON. April 6. Rear-Admiral
Fiske wrote to the House naval
committee today asking that he be per
mitted to reappear before the commit
tee to contradict statements . made by
Secretary Daniels at the Navy-bill
hearing ur-"rning the Admiral's con
duct before he resigned as aide for
operations.
Chairman Padgett replied that since
the hearings had closed and no "public
interest could be subserved" by an in
quiry into the differences between the
Secretary and the Admiral, he saw no
reason why the matter should again be
taken up.
Regarding Secretary Daniels' state
ment that Admiral Fiske had told some
that barring wine from the ships would
lead to the use of. cocaine, the Admiral
wrote that he submitted a long mem
orandum to the Secretary opposing
abolition of the wine mess, which
should be examined in its entirety to
be properly understood. He denied that
he ever told Mr. Daniels, as the latter
testified, that Rear-Admiral Fletcher
did not want the command of the At
lantic fleet. Instead, he said, he re
ported correctly a conversation- with
Admiral Fletcher some months before
the vacancy occurred in which Fletcher
said he thought Fiske would be the
logical candidate to succeed Rear-Admiral
Badger in command.
"I have never had the slightest ill
feeling about this episode," wrote Ad
miral Fiske, "and I have told everyone
to whom I have talked about it that if
I had been in the Secretary's place I
would have appointed Fletcher."
In his reply Chairman Padgett said
the committee gladly would incorporate
in the record a copy of the wine mess
memorandum if the Admiral would
send it in.

EUGENE. Or.. April 6. (Special.)
How speedily the development of the
coast regions of Lane, Douglas and Coos
Counties will progress as a result of
the building of the Willamette-Pacific
Railroad no man can tell, but this de
velopment will be perceptible within
the next three or four months, accord
ing to W. R. Scott, vice-president and
general manager of the Southern Pa
cific, who returned to Eugene tonight
witli the party of railroad officials that
left yesterday for their first trip over
the new road.
"The lumber interests will be af
fected first,!' he said, "and lumber
bringing money into the .country will
create business along other lines. The
latter part of July, when the Umpqua
bridge shall have been completed and
we are able to inaugurate through
freight service, the tributary country
will really begin to feel the effect of
the railroad. "
"There is an increasing demand for
lumber and the prospects are that this
demand will continue up grade for sev

Mr. Scott said that the Southern Pa
cific Company was enjoying increased
business. "The Increase is not at any
particular point, but on all parts of the

have been better."

Elght-IIoar Day Would Cause Com
panies to Increase Speed to Avoid
Overtime, Is Argument.
CLEVELAND, April 6 In a state
ment issued today by the four railroad
brotherhoods, which are demanding an
eight-hour day from 400 railroads in
the United States, it is contended that
the shippers and merchants in the
country will be benefited if the broth
erhoods win their fight, because the
eight-hour-day demand is based on
freight trains making 12 miles an
hour in order to escape paying crews
overtime. The statement says:
"All merchants and most manufac
turers try to buy in as small quan
tities as possible and make quick turn
overs in their stock, but with slow-
freight shipments it is impossible to
do this.
"If the demand of the men for an
eight-hour day. with payment of time
and half for overtime, is granted, the
railroads will move their trains faster.
the American naval attaches did not
actually see the metal fragments at the
time they were taken from the Sussex
and the fact that no American citizens
have sworn to having seen the wake
of a torpedo before the foussex was
struck. Such affidavits have been re
ceived from citizens of other nations.
Many Neutrals Torpedoed.
Aside from the Sussex case, partic
ular attention is being given by the
Administration to the number of
neutral vessels torpedoed recently.
While there were American citizens
tn but few of these ships, the whole
sale destruction of unarmed merchant
craft has created a profound impres
sion. Press reports have been to the
effect that more than 20 neutral ves
sels and more than 25 belligerent ves
sels have been torpedoed within the
last two weeks, most of them without
warning.
