RAIDER REPORTED
111 SOOTH PACIFIC
German Said to Have Sunk
Japanese Warship After
. Sinking Merchantmen.
BRITISH BARK TORPEDOED
TTeath Attacked In Atlantic "With
No Warnings Americans and
Others ' on . Vessel Escape.
Two Other Ships Sunk.
'ANCOTTVER, B., O.. March 29 A
dispatch to the Canadian News from
Toklo says that a German raider has
sunk a Japanese warship In the South
Pacific The names of the vessels were
not disclosed. .
It was officio llr announced In Toklo
about two weeks ago that a converted
German cruiser had been sighted In
the Indian Ocean and was being traced
by Japanese-and British warships after
the raider had sunk a Japanese freight
ship. Prior to that two British steam
ships were reported to have been de
stroyed by an armed merchantman off
Colombo, Ceylon.
WASHINGTON. March 29. The Brit
ish bark Neath, from Mauretlus for
Havre, with sugar, was torpedoed with
out warning at ,8:45 A. M. Tuesday,
28 miles southeast of Fastnet. ac
cording to State Department reports
today from Consul Frost, at Queens
town. Two America Escape.
Two Americans, Clarence Bloom, of
Ban Francisco, and Peter Webster,
negro seaman, of Pensacola, Fla were
aboard the Neath, but escaped together
with other members of the crew with
out loss or injury.
"The British bark Neath." Consul
Frost says, "with auxiliary steam
power, 4690 tons, from Mauretlus to
Havre, cargo of sugar, was torpedoed
without warning, 8:46 A. M., 27th. 28
miles southeast of Fastnet. Bank In
seven minutes. No losses or Injuries.
Carried no guns or wireless nor made
any attempt to escape or resist.
Weather fair.
"Boats picked up by Admiralty ves
sels three miles off Baltimore. 6:80 P.
M-. 27th. all saved. Two Americans,
Clarence Bloom, of San Francisco, and
Peter Webster, negro seaman, Pensa
cola, Fla. were aboard."
The message In part was conflicting:
It Bald that the captain of the Neath
was taken as a hostage by the sub
marine, but afterward stated that the
captain was landed yesterday after
noon at Queenstown. No explanation
for the apparent discrepancy was
given.
Capture by ths British of the sub
marine which destroyed the Neath, and
the consequent release of the captain,
was suggested by naval "officials as a
solution of the discrepancy in the dis
patch. It was thought probable that
after the captain was made prisoner,
the undersea craft was captured and
the Neath's captain landed at Queens-town.
LONDON, March 29 TKe British
tarasiflp Alnwick Castle has been tor
pedoed In the Atlantic Ocean. Some
persons are reported dead and others
are missing. '
No Warning Given.
The Admiralty has Informed the As
sociated Press that the Alnwick Castle
was torpedoed without warning, March
19, In the Atlantic, 820 miles from the
nearest land. On the previous day the
steamer had rescued the crew of a tor
pedoed British steamer.
The passengers and crews of both
vessels abandoned the Alnwick Castle
In five boats. .One of these boats land
ed on the Spanish coast. It originally
contained 20 persons, including a stew
ardess and a child, but five of them
died. Survivors in this boat were suf
fering from frost bite.
Three other boats also were picked
up during the week, one containing 27.
another 29, and the third 20 survivors.
In these boats there were five dead.
The fifth boat put out from the
steamer and has not been accounted
for.
The British steamship Alnwick Castle
measures 6900 tons gross and was
owned by the Union-Castle Mall Steam
ship Company, of London. She was 400
feet long and was built In Glasgow in
1901. There have been no recent re
ports on the whereabouts of the Aln
wick Castle and she was probably In
the service of the British government.

NEW YORK. March 19. Wllhelm
Parades, fourth engineer of the German
steamship Freiderich der Grosse, tied
up at Hoboken, N. J., one of the six
Germans on trial for plotting to da.
stroy vessels carrying war munitions
for the entente allies, testified today
that of 250 lead cylinders he had made
aboard the ship which were afterward
to be fire bombs. 170 turned out to
be "good ones."
He worked on the lead pipes 14 days,
he testified, for which he received 116
from Engineer Schmidt, of the Freid
erich der Grosse. Parades declared he
did not know what the "pipes" were
to De used for.
WILSON SEEKING VIEWS
(Continued From Writ Page.)
to the apathy of .their constituencies
are considered more local than general.
The greatest point under considera
tion by the Administration Is whether
Germany has not unmistakably shown,
through a long succession of violations
of International law, that the United
States rrust definitely unite with the
liberal democracies of the world
against the four most complete autoc
racies, both for its present and Its fu
ture safety.
Permanent Danger Is Seen.
All hone has been lost, as shown in
the note to Germany as to the treaty
of 1828. in the good faith of the pres
ent German rulers. The Belgian Inva
sion and deportations, the ruthless sub
marine warfare, the attempts to em
broil neutral countries in plots, and
the general conduct of the war, have
convinced many officials that the Ger
man military system as at present di
rected is a permanent danger to tne
world's peace.
German plots in this country, running
back almost to . the beginning of the
war and finally culminating in the Zlm-
mermann note to ally Japan and Aiex
ico in war against this country, are re
garded as evidence of thj evil of the
general system. The Administration
has much material not made public, and
It is understood, moreover, that the
complete text of the Zlmmermann note
has not been publishe- Further dis
closures of intrigues may be expected
at any time.
Full Co-operation Favored.
Germany, through the coolness with
which she treated the President's pro
posal to name peace terms, is felt to
be the greatest source of danger to
world peace. Some officials here, who
felt her original offer was insincere
and merely a play for domestic con
sumption, uelleve her refusal to state
terms is proof of that contention.
Full :o-operatlon with the allies.
therefore, is 'generally favored as a
necessity to America's future safety.
German victory now, it Is said, might
lead to A direct attack on this country
later and would at least necessitate
extensive armament. A deadlock would
be .tantamount to a German victory on
the basis that while, after peace, the
German union would become stronger.
the entente might easily fall apart and
Germany be left relatively world su
preme. ,
Military authorities here believe that
the most Germany expects now is a
draw. Why she seems so indifferent
to this country's entrance into the war
causes much interest.
- Germany's Stand Surprising.
Some officials have predicted for
more than a year that Germany would
attempt to force this Nation Into the
conflict at the last moment, first in
order that her autocracy might save
its face before the people by surren
dering to the whole world, and, sec
ondly, because this country would prob
ably be a generous enemy. The last
objection to America's participati-n
was removed with the severance of
relations when it ceased to be possible
for America "to get funds to Germany
and thus sustain the price of the mark.
Before that Finance Minister Helffer-
ich had been most - instrumental in
curbing the Von Tirpita party of ruth
less submarine warfare.
With the United States drawn into
the war through no desire of her own
and convinced that the war is a war
of self -protection and self-preservation.
the exact manner of American partici
pation Is undecided. The sending of
an army to Europe or the provision of
a huge- credit of from 81,000.000.000 to
15.000,000,000 are both being discussed.
Decision as to Army Not Made.
As for military participation nothing
has been determined and decisions must
await actual entrance Into the war.
Some feel that a large army, owing to
need of equipment and diversion of
shipping, would be more of a hindrance
than a help. Munitions manufacture,
where the United States could be of
most value, will be expedited by the
greatest possible degree.
At the same time general alliances
with the entente nations are not con
templated. The United States plans
to maintain its freedom of action Just
as far as possible. In a naval and mil
itary sense there will, of course, be
full co-operation, but beyond that the
country will not assume unlimited 11-
billty for the allies' alms. The
United States will seek, as far as pos
sible, to ameliorate the bitterness cf
the present war and prevent its end
ing from generating future wars.

COPENHAGEN, March 29, via Lon
don. Twenty-two neutrals, who were
brought to Germany on the commerce
raider Moewe as prisoners Including
one American, arrived here today from
Kiel. They were released because they
were not serving on armed merchant
men. ,
The sailors brought an account of a
hard engagement between the Moewe
and the British steamer Otakl, which
put up a sturdy fight when It was en
countered by .the German raider on
March 10.
Otaki Gives Hard Batilei
The Otakl, according to the sailors.
surrendered only after scoring seven
hits on the Moewe and setting the
German raider on fire. The blaze was
not extinguished for three days. - Six
of the Moewe crew and two captive
Hindus were killed during the fight,
while the Otaki. lost her captain, a
mate, her engineer and two sailors.
During the engagement, the sailors
said, the British prisoners on the
Moewe broke the iron grating barring
the room in which they were confined,
but they were overawed by sailors
from the Moewe with hand grenades.
The neutral prisoners confined in an
other quarter of the ship, spent an anx
ious time during the engagement.

they would go down with her. One
shell penetrated the hull of the
Moewe, passing barely two feet below
the quarters occupied by the neutral
prisoners.

The Moewes' return from her cruis

was added, was .without further incident.
The return of the German raider
Moewe to a German port was an

received March 22. The capture of the
British steamship Otaki, 9575 tons
gross, was reported in a supplemen

the Fire Bureau. A proposed revision
of working forces In -various stations
has been worked out by the firemen
and shows that in a number of stations
the present number of firemen will be
cut in two under the two-platoon plan.
The Laurelburst district Is aroused

protection. Other districts also listed
are Sunnyslde, Portland Heights,
Brooklyn, the Highland district and. the
Stephens district.
In the station at East Twenty-eighth
and East Davis streets, which protects
the vast western portion of Laurelhurst
and neighboring sections, including
Kern School, there are 40 firemen at
present. The two-platoon plan as ar
ranged by the firemen Is to divide these
10 men into two shifts, leaving five on

This station has a hose wagon and
an engine. It takes two men to drive

you nor I want. The people to whom
we are giving it are not always helped

is really back of It or not. If we have
real charity we will help the unfortu

WATER DENIAL UPHELD
MR. DALY SAYS RULE WAS APPLIED
TO CASE OP GUARDSMEN.
Personal Knowledge of Trouble Over
S apply at Reernltlns; Station. How
ever, Is Not Admitted.
City Commissioner Daly declared yes
terday that he had no personal knowl
edge of the trouble experienced - by
National Guardsmen in getting' water
turned on in ths building at Fourth and
Washington street, used for a recruit
ing station. He said the refusal to turn
on the water until a back bill of $7.20
had been paid by the building owner
was in accordance with the usual prac
tice, under city ordinance.
In the case in question the North
western Electric Company donated elec
tric lights free and the proprietor of a
rooming-house in the building donated
heat free. When Guardsmen went to
the water bureau to get free water they
not only were recused this but were
informed the bill left unpaid by a
former tenant must be paid before any
water would be turned oil
"The matter never even came to the
knowledge of the Commissioner until
he saw the article In The Oregonlan,
yesterday." said James McCooL secre
tary to Mr. Daly. "After investigation
I find from the chief clerk of the water
bureau that application was made for
water by a Guardsman and that he was
toia tne owner or the building would
have to comply with the usual proce
dure and sign the application. This the
owner did and the water bureau in
order to accommodate the National
Guard sent an inspector down after
working hours to turn on the water."
