STRATEGY TO PLAY PART Building of SJiips Is Jfot Knousli, Declares Visitor, Who Is Not I)c- birous ot "Killing Bear ly V. w 1 Itunning It to Death." " WASHINGTON'.. May 9. Confidence that the submarine menace will be met cither by British and American inven tive genius or by the combined navies ot the two powers was expressed by Kear-Admiral Sir Dudley K. S. Do Chair, ff the British mission, at a reception tendered him tonight by the Navy Lcasuo. British inventions, he said, "encourage me to express the confident-hope that the necessary antidote to the submarine will be found." Admiral De Chair said American and British naval officers would not be content to let things rest with the mer chant shipbuilding; programme as a means to crush the submarine. "It will be six months," he said, "be fore the full weipht of a shipbuilding programme can be felt. Decisive re sults must be, can be, and will be achieved before then by the combined efforts of our navies. Strategy and Device to I'nlle, "To elude " the submarine is not enough. We men of the navy will not be content to kill this bear by running him to death. "By new schemes of strategy and by new devices and inventions we are con fident that the answer to the submarine will be found. The public has been Informed recently of the efforts in this country to crush the submarine by these devices. The inventive genius of the European powers is likewise cen tered upon this effort and, although it " is a practice of naval officers never to claim victory until it is won, the prog ress which has been made in this direc tion encourages me to express the con fident hope that the necessary anti dote to the submarine will be found. Scheme Evolved Constantly. "While this work continues our naval experts will be constantly developing new strategic schemes to place our navies effectively on the offensive against the submarine: to drive against their power not singly and spasmodic ally, but with a crushing blow. "Of these favorable results, which we must have, I am mpre than ever con fident, since my visit to the United States, because of the excellent spirit and the keen desire for close co-operation which I have found on the part of the American Navy and the Navy De partment. This is the encouraging news which I will take back to Eng land and to my brother officers .of the British navy." The members of the British mission today continued their sub-committee conferences with American officials. Today Mr. Balfour played tennis at the White House court with Secretary Mc Ado.o and members of the mission.; . . ., Spiller scholarship, the purpose of which is to promote the cause of edu cation among the women of Oregon.

Registered according to the Coprlght Act. Canada, 1917. Published by arrangement.) NEW YORK. May 9. (Special.) Ex cept for minor outbursts the German government has prohibited the public discussion of peace terms throughout the war and the policy has been suc cessful as far as the central powers are concerned. In Germany everyone ex pects the Kaiser to stand by his war colonies Turkey and Bulgaria at the final peace conferences, but no one i knows what he will do. If the Kaiser can save himself and his Fatherland by sacrificing Constantinople and throwing Czar Ferdinand overboard, he will do it without a sign of emotion, just as be brought the United States into the war after professing for two years that he didn't want us as an enemy. The Kaiser Is In the war for William the Second and William's friends only. Mackensen Is Dictator. The story of German influence and intrigue in Turkey before the war is known by this time to most readers, but the subjugation of the Turks and Bulgarians during the war is not so well known. It is not known, for in stance, that the real dictator of Turkey and the Balkans Is Field Marshal von Mackensen, the Kaiser's favorite Gen eral. No one can go to Turkey, Bulga ria, Serbia or Rumania today if Von Mackensen objects. Even Enver Pa cha and Taalat Pasha, the "strong men" of the Young Turks, do nothing to dis please von Mackensen. In this way the Kaiser has his allies "so firmly under his heel that they are for all practical war purposes German colonies. Germans often make the remark that they will win the war no matter what the outcome is! This sounds foolish and contradictory, but it has a basis of truth. Kaiser's Allies to Be Losers. If the Kaiser wins so he can dictate peace terms, they argue, the allies and the United States will pay financially and by loss of territory. But, on the other hand, if our allies win which must be the case Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria will lose and pay. This will be true unless our allies win so decisively that we can make Ger many pay and lose. Our allies' terms for Germany are today rather simple. A democratic Ger many is demanded and perhaps the con cession of Alsace and Lorraine to France. What shall become of German colonies is not decided. Germany is not ready today to talk about giving up the "lost provinces." So as far. as the other terms are concerned Germany is not a great loser. But when it comes to Austria-Hungary the allies propose to di vide it and practically destroy the dual onarchy. Turkey is to give up Con stantinople and Bulgaria may have to give up what she occupies of Serbia and Rumania. Sacrifices Are Considered. When it comes time to make peace Germany will not hesitate to sacrifice Constantinople. Austria-Hungary, feer- bia, Rumania and Bulgaria if she can save herself. And today she is in a position to do this, because the entire military organizations ot lurKey and Bulgaria are under Field Marshal von Hindenburg and Von Mackensen and the foreign politics of the two countries are controlled absolutely by Berlin. Our State Department has known this throughout the war and as, a result whenever we have had anything impor tant to demand of Turkey we have al ways taken it up with the Berlin For eign Office, as well rs with the Porte. Ambassador James w. tierara was Just as much of an envoy in practice to Turkey and Bulgaria as he was to Ger many. During the war we have had ef ficient and very capable Ampassadors in Constantinople. Both Henry Morgen- thau and Abram I. E.kus have r-een successful in their work in Turkey, but our Government, knowing the power of Germany over Turkey, has often used Berlin to accomplish things quicKiy. Leaders Go to Germany. The. power of Germany over these two countlies is Desi eviaencea ay ine that German leaders seldom go to bona or Constantinople for conferences it is always the other way. Turks come to Berlin or to Pless, where the Kaiser has his headquarters and where the reneral staff of the army lives and rules. -When the question of using Turkish troops to Rumania and Galtcia was discussed Enver 1'asha was called to Von Mackensen'a headquarters in Volhvnia. When the Turkish Generals otifled the Germans tnat 'lurKs wouia not tight in Galtcia and Koumania un less they could have mutton to eat, Ger- any had to obtain the mutton but, as might be expected, it did not come from Germany, but Irom 1 urKey and Rumania The Turks won't eat the pork which the German soldiers de- and. although one mignt nave expect tu the Turkish soldiers In Armenia to have been fed on the same food. Another instance which will show what influence Von Mackensen has over-Serbia happened shortly after the fall of Nish. The German General Rtaff invited a group of correspondents to go to Serbia- They reached Belgrade before Von Mackensen heard of it. but when they planned to go to Nish von Mackensen sent back orders that they would have to get out of Serbia Im mediately, and they did. They took the first train in that direction and hurried back to Budapest. When the German army reached Bucharest another group of corre spondents were invited to go there as guests of the German General Staff. When they arrived in the capital the officer who acted aa their guide re ported at Von Mackensen's headquar ters that they were in the city, and Von Mackensen, wno has always hated Americans, asked whether there were any Americans in the group. When the Captain-escort from Berlin said "Yes, the Field Marshal replied: "Tell them not to recognize me if they pass me on the street." Twice every week there Is a special train which goes from Berlin to Con stantinople called the Balkan-zug. No one can travel on this train unless Von Mackensen grants permission. That is the reason it has taken some of the American couriers from two weeks to two months to get permission to go to Constantinople for 'the United States State Department. Before Von Mackensen came to power Held Marshal von der (Jolts, the Ger man leader, was the power behind th Turkish throne, but he was finally dis posed of while in Bagdad. It is com monly believed In Germany that he was poisoned by a Turkish member of his staff. Baron von Wagenhelm, who was the German Ambassador in Con stantinople, is believed to have met the same death. Very few Turks like the Germans. There has been more trouble between the two than the outside world knows, but it has not been great enough to Interfere with military operations, which, after all, is the Important thing. The Turks suspect the Germans. It is stated, however, that Constantinople is guarded by Germans and not by Turks; that German officers, being In fear of sudden death at the hands of their al lies, keep a sufficient force there for protection. But Turkey has been a valuable ally to Germany. Germany and Turkey, to gether, held the Dardanelles, and Ger many has been supplying Turkey with war materials since the very beginning. In return Turkey has helped militarily In Russia and Koumania. The Turkish army has Increased in' size during the war to such an extent that today there are over 2.900.000 Turks in uniform. These figures were given to me by a prominent (Serman who is In close touch with Constantinople. He said be fore the war no one believed the Turk ish army could be that large. The loss of Bagdad has been a big loss to the Germans and thejTurks. be cause they had planned to carry opera tions to Egypt and the Suez Canal this year, or at the latest, next Spring. By losing Bagdad this hope will disap pear. 1 Balgars Keen Food. Last Summer the Bulgarian Parlia ment sent a commission to Berlin and other German cities to study the food card system, with the object of report ing to Sofia whether It would be ad visable for Bulgaria to Institute the same. The commission was composed of four university professors of eco nomics, most of whom before the en trance of Bulgaria into the war were pro-entente. They were wined and dined by high German ministers and officials. German experts explained what great effect Bulgaria could have in bettering food conditions in Ger many by shipping some supplies and beginning the food card system. The commission was about convinced, until Its members talked to a Dutch econom ist who lived in Berlin. Then it re turned to Sofia to report against the Kaiser's methods. The result was that Bulgaria is keeping its food, much to Germany's sorrow. AIRPLANE WING FAILS k' ill ; i lit jl iiLf' mm, Buy Soap Now and 1 doz. Congo Cocoa QQ for OiU 25c bar Mt.

Vic tor Carlstrom, aviator Instructor of the Atlantic coast aeronautical station here .and Carey B. Eppes, of Newport. News, an Army student aviator, were almost instantly killed today when their machine collapsed at an altitude of about 3500 feet. Hundreds it persons saw the accident and children at one of the public schools watching the fliers during their noon recess were panic-stricken. Carlstrom was giving Eppes his first lesson. They rapidly rose to about S30" feet and were flying smoothly when the machine suddenly crumpled up and plunged downward. As it fell observers saw the right wing sailing after it. It had given way and caused the re mainder of tin plane to collapse. Carlstrom reached the zenith of his fame when he flew from Chicago to New York several months ago. Before that he had flowrn from Newport News to New York without a stop, setting record for cross-country flying. Carlstrom also held the American rec ord for altitude with pilot and one pas senger, having ascended to a height of 16,500 feet here a year ago. NEW YORK. May 9. In the last 18 months Carlstrom was in the air, ac cording to his own estimates, more than 3000 hours. Alan R. Hawley. president of the Aero Club, said here today. American records held by Carlstrom Included that of 11.180 feet altitude for aviator with two passengers, and the cross-country distance for aviator and one passenger of 283 miles. He received the Aero Club's medal of merit both for this year and last and was winner of the Curtlss marine fly ing trophy for 1913. He also received a gold watch from the club for his Chicago-New York flight. HUE'S FATE IN DOUBT RUSSIAN RADICAL SOCIALIST RE PORTED MISSING. Expatriate Loses Influence After Vig orous Campaign la Favor of Peace With Germany. LONDON, May 9. It is reported in an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen that Nikolai Lenine, the Russian Radical Socialist leader, has been missing for two days. The dispatch, which quotes the Svenska Dagbladet of Stockholm as its authority, says nothing Is known as to Lenine s fate. Lenine, an expatriate under the old Russian regime, was permitted by the German government to return home through Germany from Switzerland after the revolution. He undertook a vigorous campaign at the head of a group of ultra. Radicals In favor of peace and was so active that he caused some anxiety among those who sup ported the government In its deter mination to continue the war. Latterl)-. however.

POLITICS CHARGE IS MADE No Better Way to Red ace Revenue Could Be Designed, Says Secre tary, AVlio Predlcls t"se of Freight and Express. XEW YORK, May 9. D. c. Seltx. of the Now York World, chairman of the committee on postal rates of the American Newspaper Publishers Asso ciation, referring- to the proposed second-class mall rates today, made the following- statement: "At its last session the American Newspaper Publishers' Association in dorsed a zone system aa a Just and fair way of establishing- the cost of mailing- newspapers and periodicals. It was not dreamed, however, that a rate equivalent to J40 a ton would be charged for carrying such printed matter 300 miles, or that it would reach $120 a ton in the outside zone. "No such rate as this for any class matter exists even In war time for the longest world routes In the way of transportation. The newspapers are prepared to pay war taxes Just as every manufacturing concern pays theirs, but to have this double load laid upon them without warrant and excuse simply means that many will be compelled to withdraw their pub lications from the mails and rely upon district' distribution. express and freight routes to take care of their business, to the loss of the Government and annoyance of the subscriber. "No better plan for reducing mail revenue could possibly have been de vised. "It has been the persistent policy of the Postofflce Department in re cent years to assail second-class mat ter, keeping parallel all the while with salary raising, rural route extending, and other forms of unremunerative expenses. "A properly constructed Postmaster General who knew more about business than politics could ave a million dollars a week to the postofflce and preserve our Industry. It seems to be the fate of the Government to be served in the postofflce t.y bureaucrats of the narrowest and stupidest sort. This ap plies to the present Postmaster-General."

The admission tickets to the fail grounds will not Include an admission to the race track at the Multnomah County Fair this yecr, as has been the case in previous years, but the race track admission fee will be collected at the Ete to the track. This will eliminate an arrangement which wa not entirely satisfactory, as many peo ple did not care to see the races and grumbled at having to pay for some thing which they did not care for. The fair board also decided at their meeting Monday that all race-horse owners should have free admission to the fair grounds, but they would have to pay "half fare" for all grooms and Jockeys admitted. The same rule will also apply to the concessionaires who pay $la or upward. They will have to pay half of the admission for their employes. $8000 Is Iiosan Mine Cleanup. GRANTS PASS. Or.. May 9.

The Chancellor also paid a ' tribute to the flying corps.
