OWEGO INCIDENT IGNORED
TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1916.
Attitude of German Government In
creases Apprehension in Wash
ington Watchful ' Waiting
to Be Continued Policy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. (Special.)
Germany has refused:
First To inrorm the United States
of the " punishment meted out to the
German submarine commander who
sank the Channel liner Sussex last
Spring.
Second To make any explanation of
the action of the submarine commander
in firing on the American steamer
Owego.
The refusal of the Berlin government
to comply with the request of the
United States in these two specific
cases, added to Information received
from Ambassador Gerard, is increas
ing the apprehension of the authorities
In regard to Germany's future course
with reference to submarine operations.
Consideration is being given to the
advisability of making representations
warning Berlin as to the consequences
of a violation of the assurances given
in response to the President's ulti
matum of last May. It can. be confi
dently predicted, however, that the
Government will decide to pursue a
policy of watchful waiting. When a
concrete case arises, which Involves
American life or American interests,
the authorities say, the -President will
act.
The State Department officially con
firmed today The Oregonian's report
this morning that It had been advised
of the publication by Grand Admiral
von Tirpitz of a manifesto favoring
war with the United States and urging
the unrestricted use of submarines.
Von Tirpitz was deprived of his office
when Germany decided to employ her
submarines more humanely. His influ
ence is still powerful, however, and
undoubtedly Is having an effect in
shaping Germany's policy. This is what
alarms the officials here.
BATTERY GETS SOAKING
TORH F.XTIA Ij DOWNPOUR FLOODS
CAMP AT CALEXICO.
Guards Trudge Ankle-Deep In Mud and
Drills Are Suspended Horses BreaJc
Away From the Picket Line.
CALEXICO, Cal., Aug. 24. (Special.)
At 10 o'clock last night the sky grew
Inky and flashes of lightning closed in
on camp. "Within five minutes a sprin.
kling of rain had become a torrential
downpour; the weight of the water
soon drew the canvas of the tents taut
and only by quick work at the stay
ropes were several collapses averted.
For nearly an hour the storm raged.
Then it ceased for half an hour.
As quickly as before a second tor
rent silenced the insects of the night.
For six hours the guards trudged
through mud half way to their knees.
Horses continually broke away from
the picket line and constant vigilance
was necessary to keep the animals
quiet, for the blinding flashes worked
fearful images in the night.
The batterymen piled out of wet cots
and into exceedingly damp clothes this
morning, and the worst came when the
whistle to assemble in the half-flooded
street was sounded. Adobe mud cling
ing to the shoes of the soldiers made
walking difficult. Work at the stables
was- suspended. There was no drill.
By 7 o'clock a sweltering sun was at
work, but at 10 a cool, cloud-bringing
breeze transformed It into an Oregon
like day.

PARAGRAPH IS BAIT
Tariff Commission Phase of
Revenue Bill Meaningless.
LAW IS CALLED MONGREL
Senator Sherman Says Measure Is
Mixture of Tariff for Revenue
and Competitive Tariff, With
Virtues of Neither.
WASHINGTON.. Aug.. 24. Senators
Penrose and Sherman, Republicans,
consumed most of the time in today's
debate on the revenue bill. The Penn
sylvania Senator concluded a speech
against the measure begun yesterday,
attacking particularly the proposed
munitions and inheritance tax. He also
criticised the tariff commission to be
created by the bill.
"The tariff commission paragraph,"
said the Senator, "is not of a great im
portance. It apparently Is : put in
merely as a measure to attract and
mislead Republicans. In fact, there has
been a propaganda conducted through
out the country in favor of a tariff
commission, so this provision in the
pending bill supplies a popular catch
word which is meaningless and ineffec
tive. Should the Republicans be re
stored to power, they will doubtless
provide for a tariff commission which
I will produce practical and effective
results in tne direction or reasonaDie
and adequate protective rates based on
a thorough examination of the differ
ence in the cost here and abroad."
Senator Sherman attacked the pro
posed income tax increases as unfair
and inequitable and assailed the Demo
cratic tariff.
"This present tariff law is a mongrel,"
he said. "It is a mixture, born of the
tariff for revenue and the competitive
tariff, and, like a mule, has all the un
holy aspects of both ancestors and the
virtues of neither."
MOTORCYCLE RUNS AWAY
Merchant, Who Is No-vice, Is Hurled
Into Brick Building. '
NORTH POWDER. Or.. Aug. 24.
(Special.) W. A. Hudelson, a merchant
of North Powder, had a narrow escape
from death yesterday on a runaway
motorcycle.
The motorcycle, owned by Cleve Mer
cer, was left standing in front of Mr,
Hudelson's store. He mounted the ma
chine, although not familiar with its
operation, drove about 200 feet, when
he lost control and it dashed across a
:itch and side walk, made a circle in
the main street and hurled its rider
into a brick building, rendering him
unconscious for a short time.

TROOP PLANS TO MOVE
OFFICERS TAKE Al'TO TRIP OVER
LINE OF MARCH.
Men Receive Needed Supplies, Includ
ing; Saddle Soap Private Dunn
Continues to Improve.
BY WILL G. MAC RAE.
CAMP BALBOA. San Diego, Aug. 24.
(Special.) While Captain White,
Major Sheen and several other officers
from Fort Rosecrans took an automo
bile Journey over the proposed line of
march that Troop A will make when it
leaves next week for the new sector,
"somewhere on the border," Lieutenant
Hogan and Lieutenant Wackrow han
dled the troop at drill today.
The cool spell which has lasted for
a week was broken today. By the time
the troop arrived off the drill ground
the temperature was hovering around
80 degrees and was still climbing. It
was still hotter along the sidehills and
in the brush, but in spite of this the
drill was a repetition of that of yes
terday. One trooper, after he had
reached the picket line, said: "To think
that I get only $15 a month for being
a mountain climber on horseback!"
Even a blind man could tell Troop A
was contemplating moving. The com
pany street is littered with boxes of
supplies and ordnance. There was a
new issue of blankets, canteens to be
distributed, workshoes to be replaced
by new ones and a dozen or more dif
ferent articles each trooper will need
to make his Army kit complete There
was also free use of language of large
denominations when on opening some
of the supply-boxes it was found that
needed supplies were missing.
Among the badly needed things that
did arrive was the rifles, revolvers and
saddle soap. Instead of asking leave to
visit the exposition or to go to San
Diego, every trooper was down at the
saddle racks today removing the brick
like grime from saddles and giving the
leather a high polish.
The troop doctor. Captain Houck,
gave the troop the final health inspec
tion today. This will be the last one
at Camp Balboa.
Trooper John J. Dunn still continues
to improve. Unless unforeseen com
plications arise he will be able to re
join the troop in three or four weeks.
HARMONY PLAN IS MADE
Active Work to Obtain Progressive
Votes for Hughes Begun.
CHICAGO. Aug. 24. Active work to
bring all Progressives in the Western
States back into the Republican ranks
to aid the election of Hughes and Fair
banks was begun today by Harold L.
Ickes, of Illinois, who is in charge of
the work of organizing the progres
sive vote at Western Republican Na
tional campaign headquarters.
Within a week Progressive leaders
in- every state between Ohio and the
Pacific Coast will be asked to make a
detailed report on local conditions.
Where sharp differences of opinion are
found to exist between the Republican
leaders and Progressives because of
the division of the past, efforts to
ward practical consolidation will be
made. The plan is to send influential
Progressives into these states to act
as mediators and bring the factions to
gether. Another etep planned is to send well
known Progressive speakers into every
district where a large vote was cast
for Roosevelt in 1912.

WEST FOR. HUGHES
Western Republican Manager
Has Optimistic Reports.
NOMINEE IMPRESSES ALL
Mr. Hert Says There Is More Per
sonal Element in Admiration
Now Telt, and Indications Are
Everywhere Encouraging.
CHICAGO. Aug. 24. Alvir. T. Hert.
manager of the Western Republican
National campaign headquarters, today
issued the following statement:
"Preliminary reports from the middle
and far "West are most encouraging.
We are in daily receipt of advices from
the chairmen of the different Republi
can State Central Committees. In
variably these chairmen advise us in
normally Republican states that thfc
Republican majority this year will Ui
larger than ever.
"Throughout the West the harmony
with which the Republicans and former
Progressives are working is even more
complete than, we had expected. Re
ports from the section covered by Mr.
Hughes In bis recent Western trip are
exceptionally encouraging. The senti
ment for Mr. Hughes throughout this
section had manifested Itself before
the convention. The people of the West
have known Mr.. Hughes as insurance
investigator, as Governor and as a
jurist. They knew him and trusted
him. They looked upon him as a man
exceptionally qualified for the tremen
dous task devolving upon the next
President of the United States. In his
trip West the people of that section
have come into intimate personal touch
with him.
"Their admiration remains but there
is noticeably a more personal element
in the attitude of the Western public
toward Mr. Hughes. They have seen
him and shaken hands with him and
the West likes him."
