Today's News Expected to
Dispel Idea Germany Would
. Avert American Clash.
SPAIN'S ATTITUDE CHANGES
telations of That Nation, Like Hol
land, Sharply Strained Bor
der Countries Give No In
dication of Ruptures.
LONDON, Feb. 5. General impres
sions which prevailed in newspaper
circles today were reflected in the af
ternoon papers that Germany is at
tempting to prevent actual hostilities
with the United States by overtures
for a compromise on her war zone
policy. The only discoverable ground
for such impressions was the news
that Germany has offered Holland and
the Scandinavian countries some "con
cessions" for steamers taking- to Ger
many food supplies and mails.
The first direct news received in
London from Germany since the sever
ance of relations was the Associated
Press dispatch describing the German
attitude, which will be published in
the British morning papers and is
likely to dispel the rumors of a com
promise. Bordering- Neutrals Gautlona.
The greatest Interest centers in the
reply of the smaller neutrals to Presi
dent Wilson's suggestion that they
follow the American policy. There is
no indication in the messages from the
Scandinavian countries and Holland,
however, that they propose to go to the
length of a rupture.
Holland's relations with Germany
have been sharply strained by the
sinking of several Dutch steamers un
der circumstances compelling Holland
to file protests and requests for an
explanation, but the belief here is that
the smaller countries bordering on
Germany would fear to align them
selves in hostility, for one reason that
In the possible event the central powers
won the war their destiny would be
wholly in Germany's grasp.
SpaniiiH Attitude Chances.
Spain's attitude is different. Only a
few weeks ago Spain was listed here
as the only distinctly pro-German Eu
ropean nation among the neutrals, ex
cept Greece. This attitude was credit
ed by officials in London to an ex
tensive propaganda carried on by Ger
many In that country during the war.
Spain's relations with Germany to
day, however, are considered to be
about the same as Holland's. Diplo
matic discussions regarding the sinking
of several Spanish vessels are afoot.
In addition, the establishment of the
new war zone affects Spain's supplies
and commodities more than those of
any other neutral.
dignity could not go. It is hoped by a
majority of the English people that
America will not be drawn Into the
war. The entente allies have Prussia
well in hand, and its sympathy, moral
support and assistance with finance,
munitions and food will be rendering
our crueade an immense service.
"If military intervention becomes
necessary, I do not doubt the Ameri
can soldiers will be as brave and as ef
ficient as the American contingent now
in the trenches in France, with whom
I lately spent an Interesting day. Our
navy has great faith in yours.
"The Prussian policy is not supported
by the other German states, some of
which I know are protesting against
a continuance of the horrors of the en
slavement of women in France and Bel
gium and have indicated that Prussia's
astounding idea of freedom of the seas
Is the worst possible kind of propa
ganda for German Kultur.
"There is no possibility of Germany's
starving Great Britain. Next to your
selves we are the most wasteful people
on earth, but figures of our food re
serves with which I am acquainted,
show that if we exercise moderate econ
omy and protection our navy will en
able us to carry on the war for an in
definite number of years, if necessary."

PAGE CALLS ON BALFOUR
BRITISH SECRETARY AVOIDS EF
FORT TO INFLUENCE EVENTS.
Officials Scrupulously Careful to Avoid
Pressure Concurrent Action
Is Not Pending.
LONDON, Feb. 6. The American
Ambassador, Walter H. Page, had a
prolonged interview today with the
British Foreign Secretary, A. J. Bal
four. The Spanish Ambassador also
called at the Foreign Office.
It is understood that no specific
proposals resulted from Ambassador
Page's call on Mr. Balfour, as it was
chiefly a general discussion of the
many questions presented by the new
turn of events. Mr. Balfour showed
great Interest in and sympathy with
the position in which the United States
is placed and had many questions to
ask, but nothing which showed the
slightest desire on the part of the
British officials to consider the event
ualities of America's entering the war.
This phase is becoming increasingly
apparent, for while public and press
opinion treats war as inevitable, the
official view is scrupulously careful to
avoid the appearance of exerting the
slightest pressure.
Another phase developed through to
day's exchanges is that for the present
there are no proposals or suggestions
of any concurrent action between the
United States and the entente allies.
Anything of that kind Is regarded as
a question for the future, if war is
declared, and not for the present a
matter for even tentative consideration.

School Fund Is Declared to Have
Received Fall Legal Price and
Fraud to Save Been Done
Against Entrymen Only.
OREGON CITY, Or., Feb. 6. (Spe
cial) 7Title to 30,000 acres In Clacka
mas County obtained by John A. Benson
and F. A. Hyde today was validated by
Circuit Judge Campbell in a decision
that is diametrically opposed to the one
handed down by Circuit Judge Gallo
way at Albany a few weeks ago-.
Judge Campbell dismissed the action
against Hyde and the Western Lumber
Company, a Montana corporation, be
cause the legislature in 1901 passed an
act validating all deeds to land on
which the state had received th full
1.25 an acre All of the lands In
volved were sold and deeds issued by
the state in 1899.
In 1907, when I was a member of
the House of Representatives," said
Judge Campbell, "the legislature passed
another act repealing the act of 1901
except as to those lands on which deeds
had already been issued and the full
price, $1.25 an acre, had been paid to
the state.
"There was evidence that the Hyde
agents had obtained the land through
fraud but the fraud was against the
parties who were used for obtaining
the land than against the state itself.
as the state received the full legal price
of the land at that time. The school
fund did not suffer by the fraud.
As the legislature has validated the
titles, I gonsidered that it was not a
question for the courts to determine
whether it was a wise or a foolish
measure. This issue was not presented
to Judge Galloway. I happened to re
call the acts as I was in the legislature
at the time."
The land is in the forest reserve in
Clackamas County and much of it was
obtained through the use of script by
the Western Lumber Company. The
company has contended that it was an
Innocent purchaser in the transaction.
regardless of any fraud on the part of
Hyde. ,
Judge Galloway sometime ago held
that the title to the land in Linn
County must revert to the state but
that the state should return $1.25 an
acre to the purchasers. Attorney-General
Brown represented the state and
L. Bailey, the defense.
Mann Urges Sinking of Personal Am
bitions and Present Necessity for
Broad Statesmanship.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. Republican
Representatives at a caucus tonight
discussed party measures generally and
adopted a resolution creating a com
mittee of 27 to consider questions re
lating to the organization of the House
in the next Congress.
The resolution, offered by Republican
Leader Mann, was adopted as a sub
stitute for one by Representative An
derson, of Minnesota, under which a
complete legislative programme for
Republicans of the next House would
have been framed.
The committee will be named soon by
Representative Greene, of Maseachu
setts, chairman of the caucus. The
plan is for it to report whenever the
next Congress shall convene, either in
regular or special session, and con
templates, under the regular party
leadership, the consideration of effec
tive party organization. - J
Many speeches were made at to
night's meeting, all in a spirit of har
mony. Representative Mann, in urging
his resolution, said that no man should
consider his own ambition in the
speakership contest and that party
effectiveness should be placed above
personal consideration. He referred to
the international crisis and to the
necessity for broad statesmanship.

WILSON STAND UPHELD
MRS. ALEXANDER THOMPSON SAYS
NATION'S HONOR AT STAKE.
"The President, I Believe. Has Taken
Only Honorable Stand Possible,'
Declares Wasco Woman.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem, Or., Feb. 5.
(Special.) Mrs. Alexander Thomp
son, the only woman member of the
Legislature, was requested today ' by
the New York World to express her
"view of the International crisis and
the duty of American men and women."
Mrs. Thompson, who is a Democrat,
replied as follows:
"The American Nation Is a peaceful
Nation. Never has it taken up arms
except in defense of right. Never has
it drawn a sword except at the behest
of reason. Never has American blood
been shed except In a Just cause. The
fact that we are not recognized as a
great military Nation assures the world
at large that we love peace.
"Since the beginning of the frightful
war in Europe the United States,
through its matchless leader, Woodrow
Wilson, has stood for 'peace with
honor,' and while assuming an atti
tude of sympathy for stricken Europe,
has steadfastly preserved a neutral position.
"Prudence would dictate that this
position be maintained, but the exigen
cies of the present grave crisis which
confronts the Nation seem to call for
a reversal of our attitude. Clouds and
darkness are round and about us; our
Nation's honor Is at stake, and this is
no time for petty faultfinding and
criticism.
"The President, I believe, has taken
the only honorable stand possible under
the circumstances. His position In the
matter calls for the patriotic and loyal
support of every man and woman rn
America today."

Once Too Of ten
Two pairs of Tire Chains were in the car, but
he did not stop to put them on.
An evil impulse tempted him to continue over the wet pave
ments with bare tires. He ventured on for a few blocks, and
then, in a flash, came the frightful skid leaving death in its wake.
How strange it is that some motorists are sometimes tempted to take a chance. They
cany Tire Chains, but they do not put them on at the first indication of slippery
going. They wait too long once too often and disastrous skidding accidents result.
"Put on Tire Chains at the First Indication of Wet
and Slippery Streets"
is a Safety First Commandment of vital importance. It should always
be obeyed by all motorists for the protection of all road users.
