STEVENS OUT OF SERVICE
PORTLASD FIRE MARSHAL TO TAKE
VP LARGER WORK.
Ex-Member of Fire Bureau Saya Two
Platoon Plan, as Submitted,
Is Bad for City.
Fire Marshal Jay Stevens Is no long
er a member of the Portland fire bu
reau. In accordance with his recently
announced plan, he quit the service at 5
o'clock last night and after organizing
the office of State Fire Marshal, he will
go to San Francisco to take charge of
the fire prevention work of the entire
Pacific Coast for the fire underwriters.
Chief Stevens says he will remain in
Portland probably until Monday to con
tinue the fight against. the two-platoon
bill, to be voted on at the city election
Monday. He says his only interest in
the matter is one of fire safety for
Portland: that he is fighting not
against the question of two platoons,
but the question of the bill as sub
mitted by the firemen. The bill, he says,
has been condemned by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters after an
Investigation:
"The bill as submitted," said Chief
Stevens last night, "takes authority out
of the hands of the chief and gives it
to the firemen; establishes the salaries
and makes it impossible for reduction
regardless of the emergency; exempts
men from responding to big fires in
emergency cases; will increase the cost
of the fire service by at least $171,000
without providing a means of raising
the extra money and makes no provi
sion whatever for continuing the fire
prevention work.

GERMAN AIMS GIVEN
Desire for Territorial Gains Is
Semi-Officially Denied.
REPLY MADE TO BRITISH
Defense of Own Country and Guar
antees for Future Declared Ob
jects of War Greater Po
litical Power Renounced.
AMSTERDAM, via London, May 31.
The declaration is made by the semi
official Nord Deutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung, of Berlin, that Germany de
sires no extension of territory for the
purpose of aggrandizement or of po
litical or economic accretion of power.
Germany wishes solely to defend her
own territory against, foreign plans of
conquest, the newspaper says, and.
moreover, demands such guarantees as
will serve for the purpose of her future
defense and self -protection.
These statements are made In com
ment on the recent speeches by Lord
Robert Cecil, British Minister of Block
ade, and H. H. Asqulth. ex-British
Premier.
The newspaper says that, apart from
the imputations in Mr. Asquith's
speech, the principles expounded coin
cide with those of responsible German
quarters, both formerly and during the
present war.
Lord Robert Cecil said In the House
of Commons on May 16 that Great
Britain could not commit herself to a
policy of returning German colonies
and Turkish provinces In which the
natives had been mistreated and asked
whether such a policy should be adopt
ed In the cases of Poland, Alsace
Lorraine and Italia Irredenta, He
said Germany should make reparation
for despoiling Belgium, Serbia and
Northern France and destroying mer
chant ships.
Mr. Asquith said if the war were to
end In an honorable peace there must
be annexation, continuing the emanci
pation of populations laboring under
despotism and' that the retention of
strategic positions as safeguards
against future attacks might be necessary.
RUNAWAY GIRL IS FOUND
Alleged Kidnaping at Richland Is
Cleared by Baker Sheriff.
BAKER. Or.. May 31. (Special.)
After a search of 24 hours Sheriff An
derson found Tina, the 15-year-old
daughter of L N. Young, of Richland,
and cleared up the alleged kidnaping
mystery that has excited Richland and
vicinity since last Tuesday. The girl
was found at Robinette, 14 miles from
home, while waiting for a train, and
the Sheriff believes that she was run
ning away and planning to come to
Baker.
She left the house Tuesday, os
tensibly to pick flowers, and when she
did not return searching parties were
sent out. The girl did not explain her
actions, but it was evident she had
walked the 14 miles.
She was returned to her parents by
the Sheriff.
WINTER WHEAT RUINED
ESTIMATE OF" NEBRASKA CROP
0LY 10 PER CEXT OF" NORMAL.
Steps Taken to Prevent Shipment of
Product From State Until Seen
Requirement Are Met.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 31. George
Coupland, food conservation member
of the Nebraska State Council of De
fense, today issued an announcement
that a survey of the Winter wheat sit
uation in Nebraska by state and Fed
eral crop experts had disclosed the sur
viving Winter wheat acreage is only 10
per cent of the crop sown.
The estimated yield is between
5,000,000 and 6,000,000 bushels, against
a yield last year of nearly 69,000,000
bushels.
County defense councils have been
directed to prevent shipments of Win
ter wheat from any county "without
first providing for the necessary seed
requirements for next Fall." It is an
nounced as probable that the entire
Winter wheat crop in the state will be
commandeered for seed.
