INSURE CONTRABAND FOREIGN SHIPS EXCLUDED Scop of War Risk Bureau Broad ened to Facilitate More Thor oughly America's Commerce With Other Rations. WASHINGTON. March 20. The Gov ernment war risk insurance bureau, which heretofore has Insured only non contraband, announced today that it would "broaden the scope of Its opera tion" and hereafter Insure practically all forma of contraband for European countries except arms and ammuni tion. The decision to insure contraband was reached at a meeting between Secretary McAdoo and the advisory board of the bureau, and was an nounced In the following statement: "Secretary McAdoo, following: a meeting with the advisory board of ma war KlsK Insurance Bureau and the director of that bureau, announced that, owing: to present conditions and with a view to facilitating more thor oughly the commerce of the United States, the bureau would broaden the scope of Its operations and insure more generally cargoes and vessels bound to European countries. "Insurance policies will cover prac tically everything except guns, arms and ammunition." Only American Ships Insured. Under the law no insurance can be Issued on vessels or cargo of vessels other than American. Heretofore the bureau has declined to Issue policies on articles declared contraband by belligerents, including almost all Amer ican products, with the result that only a small percentage of the Amer ican trans-Atlantlo merchant fleet was Insured by the Government. Even with this restriction, the bureau has Issued approximately $200,000,000 in Insurance since its Inauguration in September, 1914. Total losses have been small, the amount of the original appropriation of 15,000,000 by Congress for the payment of losses having been reduced about $600,000. Premiums for policies are not available for the pay ment of losses, but have to be turned In to the Treasury. - Bigger Fund to Be Asked. Recently Congress appropriated J15, 000,000 additional for the payment of losses, bringing the total approximately up to J20.000.000. and indications are that at the forthcoming extra session request will be made for a still further appropriation. Shortly after the break with Ger many rates were advanced from 100 to 900 per cent by the bureau, or up to 2 per oent ,of the value of the vessel or cargo to certain ports In the war tone. Although these rates are ap preciably lower than those charged by private Insurance companies, there is little indication that they will be ad vanced.

" ft i ' f it EXPOSE 13 "HOSTILE" Wilson Accused of Overt Act in Showing Up Plot. PEACE DESIRES IMPUGNED Cologne , Gazette Defends Senator . Stone and Says Break In Rela tions and Arming of Ships Challenge Germany. BERLIN, via London. March 20. Commenting on a delayed wireless dis patch sent by the Wolff Bureau's cor respondent In New York, which said President Wilson was trying to main tain peace, the Cologne Gazette says: "The people must not forget that this Is the personal opinion of the cor respondent. But the facts paint a dif ferent picture of President Wilson's policy. What was President Wilson's abrupt break In relations with Ger many but a challenge to Germany? And is not the arming of American merchant ships, which even includes ships carrying ammunition and uncon ditional contraband, even a stronger challenge to Germany? "The correspondent also overlooks the recent exciting Congress debate, otherwiee he could not send the un contradicted claim that the American Government will do nothing to arouse the feelings of America against Ger many. What was the betrayal of our proposal of an alliance with Mexico but a means to arouse sentiment hos tile to Germany? Why did Senator Stone, who uprightly seeks peace, throw himself with all his Influence against the most recent act of Presi dent Wilson unless 'because. In his conviction and that or almost the en tire Congress, It meant war? "And does the writer think that peace is promoted by the utterance of rresioeni wiison awarding Alsace Lorraine to France? "Certainly President Wilson doea not want war if he can secure our defeat without It. But he will do all to secure this defeat, and if it is impossible otherwise, he will not hesitate to make war." PEACE DESIRE IS CREDITED Frankfurter Zeitung Thinks Wilson Would Avoid War. BERNE, via Paris, March 20. The Frankfurter Zeitung. commenting on the Wolff Bureau wireless dispatch as serting 4hat President Wilson Is seek ing at all costs to avoid trouble with Germany, . says: "President Wilson broke off relations with Germany, not In preparation for war, but on the contrary, as a measure to avoid a con flict." In support of this contention, the Frankfurter Zeitung declared that President Wilson's appeal to other neutral states was made with abso lute confidence that they would re spond favorably. The failure of the neutrals to comply, the paper asserts, was "undoubtedly a most frightful dissapointment." and helped Washing ton to realize that Germany would hardly let slip from its grasp the wea pon It had decided on after much thor oughgoing deliberation. "President Wilson does not regard war as the only solution of the prob lem," the paper adds. "It is difficult to see how he expects to avoid war arter arming merchantmen, but he does not want war." The paper is of the opinion that Ger many is not well Informed about the desires .of the general American pub- PYTHIAN CONVENTION HELD District Meeting in Portland At tracts Large Attendance.

LEGAL CONTEST FORECAST Measure Making Spreading of I. W. W. Doctrine a Felony Is Vetoed Because of Fear That It Would Stop Free Speech. OLTMPIA, Wash., March 20. (Spe cial.) With his final consideration to night of bills passed by the recent Leg islature, Governor Lister wiped out by veto the entire appropriation for the maintenance of the state bureau of in spection, amounting to 843,700. He also vetoed an appropriation of 86000 for two years salary of C. Will Shafer, state law librarian and killed S. B. 246, which makes it a felony to discuss or advocate I. W. W. doctrine in the state. Other items vetoed In the general ap propriation bill include $9000 for main tenance of the executive mansion. $1500 for the bureau of labor and 8250 ap propriated to Cutter and Malmgren. of Spokane, for planning improvements to the Spokane armory, on the ground that they originally offered to do the work free of charge. In filing his veto message the Gov ernor calls attention to failure of the Legislature to authorize Investigation of the Auditor's office, under which the bureau of inspection is operated for the auditing of all other state, city and county offices and concludes: "If it be unnecessary to have a check of the Auditor's offloe, which Is clearly the most Important department of the state In the matter of payment of pub lic funds. It seems to me that I am jus tified In taking he position that it would be unwise to appropriate 843, 700 to be used in checking other de partments of the state." The bureau of Inspection veto cuts off three members of the bureau draw ing salaries of' 82500 a year each, dep uty inspectors, clerk hire, funds for examining institutions and depart ments, supplies, materials and service. Veto to Bo Contested. In anticipation of such action mem bers of the bureau and C. W. Clausen, State Auditor, who Is chief of the bu reau, have procured legal counsel and will contest the veto on the ground tnat tne Dureau has been regularly es tablished by statute at fixed salaries and cannot be abolished except by leg islative act. Governor Lister relies upon the con stitutional power ho has of vetoing any act of the Legislature, together with the fact that the bureau is neither a constitutional nor elective office. In vetoing the salary of the state law librarian, which at 83000 a year is an increase of 8600 annually over the pre ceding two years, the Governor holds the Increase to be unjustified, and that the work can be adequately per- rormea Dy tne two assistants provided for at the respective salaries of 81500 and 81200 a year. The veto of 81500 for supplies, ma terial for the bureau of labor, is ex plained as due to an error in the original appropriation, which left the allowance for factory inspectors at 81500 Instead of 815.000. The error was corrected ln the supplemental bud get. In approving an Item in the appro priation bill of $3287 for the relief of C. W. Clausen. State Auditor, the Gov ernor points out that while 82759 of tne amount was used by the Auditor In checking the Industrial Insurance Commission, following disclosure of the Gillies frauds, 8527 of the appro prlation was used by Clausen for print lng 2000 copies of the report on Drl vate request. b a private Olympla firm, or 8124 more than would have been charged had the work been done by the State Printer. I. W. W. BUI Vetoed. In commenting on his constitutional Inability to reduce a fraction of a single appropriation except by vetoing tne entire amount, the Governor ex pressly puts the State Auditor up against paying what he intimates Is an excessive private printing bill for the department. The bureau report on the '-lustrlal insurance department contained vigor ous criticism of its administration. It was printed for private circulation among employes contributing to the fund. Governor Lister's stated reasons for vetoing the L W. W. bill are as follows "As the enactment of a law relating to a special subject, such as that cov ered In this bill, could carry with It Bumcient rorce to rree the state from the disturbing and oftentimes destruc tive Influences of false doctrines. I would Indeed' be justified In placing such a law on our statute books. "I cannot feel, however, that such a law would be of sufficient force to onng about this much-desired eondl tlon. It seems to me that we will se cure more substantial and permanent results by following the course of en forcing the comprehensive laws we now nave, against all violators of urh law. rather than by specializing and placing "a ion statute dooks a law for the pur pose of, by punishment provided in it, endeavoring to crush doctrines, no mat ter how false such doctrines may be. Appeal Made to Citizemsblp. "While the results desired to be se cured by those who advocate the measure now before me may be proper in every respect, yet I cannot feel that these results will be brought about by allowing such a measure as this to be come a law. "There Is more than the enactment of laws necessary to control the feel ing of unrest which now exists in this and other states of the Union. There must be a reawakening to the" respon sibilities of citizenship, and to bring this about the assistance of all good citizens is required. Thej(?"was never a time In the history of our country when It was more necessary that we should have a united citizenship than today. "I cannot feel that the "placing of Senate bill No. 264 on our statute books will be of any assistance in accom plishing such a result." DRILL PLANS COMPLETED Full Course in Military Affairs to .
