Or.ECOXIAX N'ETTS BrREAU. "Wash
ington, Feb. 12. The mouth of the Co
lumbia Elver should be adequately pro
tected, both by land and by sea, and la
not so protected at the present time,
is the conclusion of the Helm Is'aval
Board, which recently visited the Pa
cific Coast. But, In the opinion of the
board, the Naval defense at the mouth
of the Columbia should be confined,
at this time, to a submarine and avia
tion base. The board is not in favor
of establishing a first-class Naval
base on the Columbia.
On the other hiind. the board con
cludes that there should be two thor
oughly developed Navy-yards on the
Pacific Coast, having treble the facil
ities of the existing- yards. It recom
mends the vast expansion of the Puget
Sound yard and the. establishment of a
new yard on deep water in San Fran
cisco Bay. An immediate appropria
tion of $2,500,000 is recommended for
the Puget Sound yard.
Submarine Base Recommended.
Speclfio recommendations for a sub
marine and aviation base at the mouth
.of the Columbia River will be em
bodied in a. subsequent report to be
filed by the Helm board. The report
already submitted to Congress deals
primarily with first-class navy-yards.
"The commission examined carefully
the Columbia River with a view to de
termine its suitability for the estab
lishment of a. navy-yard thereon." says
the Helm board report. "Strategically,
the mouth of the Columbia River is
well located for such purposes, but as
n. possible base for a fleet its physical
disadvantages must be considered.
"The actual depth of water over the
bar at mean low water is now about 40
f'-et, but the channel through the Jet-
n: is an exposeo. one, ana in stormy
weather the ocean swell Is unusually
heavy. There are limitations on this)
narDor as regards the location of a
navy-yard and the basing of a fleet.
"The fortifications at the mouth of
the river are at the present time not
of. the first order. The anchorage
depths for deep-draft ships sufficiently
far inside the jetties to minimize dan
ger from direct fire from the sea are
comparatively restricted.
Suitable Sites Restricted.
"The character of the land on the
north bank of the river is such that
even though the deep-water area were
sufficient its development for naval
purposes would be practically prohibi
tive in cost on account of grading
and filling involved. The south shore
of . the river offers better opportuni
ties in the way of comparatively level
ground, but is restricted as to suita
ble anchorage for deep-draft vessels.
"As compared with other available
locations, the physical characteristics
at the mouth of the Columbia River
place it at a disadvantage as regards
its selection for the establishment of
a navy-yard of the first class. It is
inferior in depth of channel approaches,
protected location, ample and deep an
chorage ground, and possibilities of
defense, as compared with the site oc
cupied by the already established navy
yard on Puget' Sound."
The Helm board indorses the con
clusions of the Selfrldge and Mahan
commissions, which investigated the
Columbia River prior to the establish
ment of the navy-yard on Puget Sound.
It then reviews the great commercial
development of the country, adding:
"The essential facts, however, remain
as in 1890, and the adequate and ef
fective defense of this whole Northwest
country is still dependent In & large
degre upon the adequacy of the naval
base) facilities in Puget Sound.

tion bases on the Pacific' Coast."
STEEL THIEF FRUSTRATED
Load of 2200 Pounds Taken From
Gteblscli & Joplin Yard.
Seven lengths of steel, each 16 feet
long and weighing in the aggregate
about 2200 pounds, were the plunder
selected by a thief yesterday morning.
'Driving a one-horse wagon. a
stranger appeared at the yards of
Giebisch & Joplin, contractors, at Sixty-
eighth and Joplin streets. He told the
foreman, William Schrader, that Mr.
Giebisch had authorized him to haul the
steel away, and loaded up the wagon.
Schrader telephoned to his employer,
who denied having given the order, and

From New York Wednesday.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. Count and
Countess von Bernstorft said farewell
today to a host of personal friends
made during their eight years' resi

Count von Bernstorff completed to

himself. In his library there is a
hardwood cabinet in which were filed

copies of official notes, accumulations
of eight years. Visitors found the ex
Ambassador sitting In front of the big
fireplace there with stacks of letters

placing a few aside. If the expression
that crossed and recrossed his face was
any Indication of his thoughts, the task
was not one which he relished.

Equipped and Reorganised.
BERLIN. Feb. 12. (By wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.) The pause in the fight
ing caused by extreme cold and violent
snow storms along the .Roumanian
front has given the troops of the cen
tral powers an opportunity to repair
the bad roads in Roumania. and to re
construct bridges and railroads, says
the Overseas News Agency. The rail
road traffic there is again in full swing
on almost all lines.
Refugees arebeing transported back
to their villages, extensive measures
have been taken to start planting in
the Spring, and factories are being re
opened.
Steps also are being taken to in
crease the number of hospitals. At
Buzeu, where there were three Rou
manian hospitals containing altogethe
600 beds, there now are 11 hospital
with 2469 beds. When the troops of
the central powers entered Fokshanl
It contained only one hospital with

Considerable fighting between the
British and Germans in the Ancre re
gion of France continues. Again the
British have attacked the Germans
north of the river in the vicinity of
the Beaucourt-Puisieux road and cap
ured about 600 yards of trenches. At
Serre. midway between Beaucourt and
Puisieux, the Germans deilverea an
attack against the British, but were
repulsed, according to the British War
Office.
Berlin, on the other hand, says the
British in attacks against wrecked
German trenches from Serre to the riv

ualties. It is admitted, however, that
trench southeast of Serre. which had
been rendered unserviceable, was evac
bated, but before the British offensive
was launched.
On the remainder of the fronts, bom
bardments and minor operations have
taken place. On the Russian front the
Germans have attacked the Russian
lines at several points and succeeded
on two sectors in entering Russian

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12. An appeal
to the Cubans not to plunge their
country into another revolution has
been sent to Havana by Secretary Lan
sing. Aroused to the realization that
the contested presidential election in
Cuba already had reached the Incipient
stage of rebellion, the State Depart
ment decided to issue to the people an
urgent injunction to await the outcome
of the voting and to abide by the deci
sion of their courts.
The communication was sent to the
American Minister with the instruc
tions to have it published throughout
the island.
The Cubans were reminded in the
message that close elections are not
uncommon in all countries, and that in
the United States the selection of the
winning candidate often is determined
only after a contest, the case of Tilden
and Hayes being cited as notable.
Appeal Is Not Received.
It had been reported that the opposi
tion party had appealed to the United
States to supervise the special election
that has been called for February 14,
but at the State Department it was
denied that such request had been re
ceived. Through the American Minister
at Havana, it was made clear that the
American Government would regret
any necessity for forcible interference
again in Cuban affairs, but it was inti
mated that the United States could not
countenance the recurrence of civil war.
Minister Gonzales at Havana notified
the State Department today of revolu
tionary activity in Cuba, but added
that President Menocal appears to have
the little rebellion under control.
Seven Lieutenants charged with com
plicity in the plot are being held.
Dr. Zayas' Followers "lamed.
Responsibility for the revolt Is
thrown by the Menocal administration
upon political leaders of the opposi
tion, whose candidate for the Presi
dency is Dr. Alfredo De Zayas. The
special election in the Santa Clara
province, necessary to determine the
result of the Presidential election, will
be held February 14. but certain men
of the De Zaytas faction allege that
even if De Zayas is elected. President
Menocal will oppose his seating.
Reports from the Minister lead the
State Department to believe that the
revolt will not become widespread.
Business interests both in Cuba and in
the United States are concerned, be
cause it is feared that If general revolt
Is begsjin an enormous loss may be
caused by the destruction of the sugar
cane fields. The cane is now dry. and
its burning would be easy.

take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This"
