DECISION WANTED AT ONCE Slain Bases Are Recommended at Mare Island and on Paget Sound and Columbia River Advocated lor Operating Base. " OHEGONI AN NEWS BUREAU. -Wash ington, June 1 7. "National security' requires submarine and naval aircraft In considerable numbers for naval op erations in the Pacific. At least 48 submarines are neede'd on the Pacific Coast of the United States. . "It" Is necessary, desirable and .ad visable that additional base facilities for submarines and aircraft on the Pa cific Coast be provided immediately lor the proper care of material: for the efficient training and eeneral welfare of their personnel, particularly in view of the great expansion of the .two services; and to permit organiza tion and advanced training in prepara tion for war and for operations during war. Decision as to their character ehould be made without delay." The foregoing are found among gen eral recommendation. submitted by the Helm Board whicn visited the Pacific . Coast last Winter, and has recently forwarded its report to Congress, through the Secretary of the Navy. The report of this board favoring- the establishment of a submarine and naval base on the Columbia River also recommends a. series of bases all along the Pacific Coast. Two Main Basel Recommended. It is the view of the Helm Board that there should be two main 'submarine bases on the Pacific Coast, one at the Puget Sound Navy-yard; the other. on Kan Francisco Bay. For Puget Sound the Board recommends two appropria tions, one of $1,425,000 for a submarine base, and In addition. J375.000 for .n aviation base. Xext in importance to these main bases come the operating bases, that on the Columbia Kiver being one. An other operating "5 is recommended to be located at EJfliz Hook, opposite Port Angeles. In addition to this, the Hoard recommends ihat a series of operating bases, for war use only, be established, and for these no appro priation Is recommended. Such bases emergency bases may be needed in time of war, and their further investi gation probably will be undertaken. Bites on Wlllapa Bay, Grays Harbor, at Port Townsend and Bellingham Bay are advised as submarine operating bases, and Coos Bay, Grays Harbor, Port Townsend, Bellingham Bay and Lake Ozette are suggested as aircraft bases. Discussing other harbors on the Coast, the report of the Helm Board says: Colombia River V,of?ical Point. "Humboldt Bay and Coos Bay do not meet the natural requirements for sub marine and aviation bases except as regards position and, on account of the lack of other more suitable positions on the long stretch of coast between San Francisco Bay and the Columbia River, it is necessary that preparation be made for the use of Humboldt Bay and Coos Bay as operating" bases in the event that tl.-y should bo needed. "Columbia River-Willapa Bay-Grays Harbor region has great strategic im portance and it is practicable to estab lish submarine and aviation operating bases at either of these points. How ever, the superior advantages of the entrance to the Columbia River as re gards navigation and in other respects make that the logical point for estab lishing the principal base for this region. "The coast between Grays Harbor and Port Angeles offers no facilities for establishing submarine bases and the only opportunity for an aviation base is in the rather Inaccessible loca tion of Ozette Lake. "The strategic Importance of the Co lumbia River-Willapa Bay-Grays Har bor region, its distance by water tMpm Puget Sound and San Francisco renders it necessary, desirable, and advisable to establish a secondary submarine and aviation base at or near the Columbia River entrance. Puget Sonnd Gets Main Base. "Two shore bases on the Pacific Coast of the United States are needed as main points for the repair and sup ply of submarines and aircrafe, includ ing docking of submarines. "These main bases will be needed for submarines of any size, and whether mobile tenders or other bapiner facili- 'l lu""""" mtntmimi, """Willi ilil jjjyjuiuuuiujim.ituiuiiuciimiiinni T II E HOPEFUL THING about the savings depositor is his spirit of self re liance, his willing ness to deny him self certain things in the present in order to make the future more secure for himself and his dependents.

This is an unusual photo, as dirigibles are few and far between in this country. They form a most valuable addition to the forces fighting abroad and are especially valuable in observing operations. ties are used for training and op erating. The construction of submarines at Navy-yards where main submarine bases are located will promote the ef ficiency of those yards as repair bases. Efficiency and economy will result from establishing these two main sub marine and aviation bases at the iiare Island and Puget Sound Navy-yards. Each of the main .submarine bases should be capable of caring for 12 boats and. for double that number un der emergency conditions. The main aviation bases should each be capable of caring for at least 12 hydroplanes, two large dirigibles, and two kite balloons." Appended to the report of the Helm Board is a supplemental report made by Lieutenant W. B. Howe and five other naval officers, setting forth categorically the advantages and dis advantages of various prospective base sites which were Inspected.

BLOODY SKATES DOG UP WOMAN' ASTO TWO ME ARRESTED AFTER MIRUER OF GIRL. Autopvy Shows Miss Ruth Cramer, 18, Died From Fractnred Skull, and Stained Ice Chopper Is Found. NEW TORK, June 17. Mrs. Marie Cocchi, wife of Alfredo Cocchl, who kept a bicycle repair shop over the cellar where the body of 18-year-old Ruth Cruger, murdered Wadleigh High School student, was found yesterday, was held in $7500 ball today as a ma terial witness in the case. With the woman also were held Vic tor Blady, a chauffeur, and Joseph Falumbo, a clerk, both of whom, the police assert, are friends of Cocchl, whose extradition from Italy is being sought by the authorities. While an autopsy was being per formed today, which showed the young woman had died from a skull fracture and a wound on the left side of the body, laborers employed by the police to dig in the cellar for further evi dence unearthed the skates Miss Cruger had taken to Cocchl's shop on Feb ruary 13 to be sharpened. The skates, with a pair of shoes attached, were bloodstained, and an ice chopper, dug up near where the skates were found, had blood stains on it also. Many persons who have been ex amined by the police since the body was found were subpenaed today to appear before the grand jury tomor row. GREEK KINGDOM IS MIXED Paris "Temps" Explains Constan tino Has Xot Abdicated. PARIS, June 17. "Constantino has not declared that he has abdicated," says the Temps. -"He has simply ex plained that, with his eldest son, he is departing from the country and tnat ne leaves the throne to his son, Alexander, and the latter, in turn, has not declared tnat he has succeeded Constantine, but that he is going 'to fulfill his sacred mandate.' "Taken literally these two announce ments signify nothing more than a family arrangement. This compact be tween father and son is doubly void. It violates the constitution guaranteed by the protecting powers: it violates neutrality and is incomparable with the constitution which designates as the successor of the ex-King his eldest son.

ATTITUDE IS PASSIVENESS Former Husband's Recent Marriage to Laura Hudson, Actress, Neith er Approved Xor Condemned by. First Wife. CHICAGO. June 17. (Special.) Mrs. Margaret Mclvor TyndaHl, first wife of the head of the New Thought Club, who gave up her husband that he might marry Miss Laura Hudson, an actress, gave out a signed statement yesterday giving her side of the case. Dr. Mclvor Tyndall. his present wife and the divorced wife are all living togetner at a notel here. Mrs. Mclvor Tyndall No. l's statement is in part as follows: "I am surprised to find that my atti tude toward my ex-husband's marriage to Miss Laura Hudson is almost- gener ally criticised. I neither approve nor condemn Dr. Mclvor-Tyndall'u choice or his marriage. Thja fact that 1 do not feel disposed to call him all the ugly names on the calendar, that I have no desire to pull my rival's hair or scratch her face, seems to have been misconstrued into 'aiding and abetting immorality.' as several women have warned me I am doing.. I can only say that my ideas of morality are based on something more fundamental than a piece of paper. I am perfectly cer tain that any sex relation that is not founded upon mutual desire and mutual love is immoral, no matter how many 'bonds of holy matrimony' have peen bonded between a man and a woman. "No snere ceremony conducted by priest or judge or anyone elfee can make any couple moral any more than the mere absence of a ceremony can make them immoral. I know this state ment is destined to provoke criticism, but I am less concerned with criticism than with truth. "I have no respect whatsoever for the bourgeois opinion of the average human being. It is based upon noth ing higher than hypocrisy and conceal ment. I refuse to be threatened by it." HOPE FOR PEACE LACKING Swedish Socialist Says War AVI 1 1 Last as Long as Kaiserlsm. LONDON.

GIVING IS REAL TEST Patriotism Shown in Response to RecT Cross Appeal. ALL EYES ARE ON AMERICA Archbishop Ireland Makes Strong Address at Mass Meeting to In- . . angurate Campaign for Funds at St. Paul. . ST. PAUL. June 17. (Special.) Citizens of St.-Paul assembled in mass meeting last night, opening the cam paign for raising this city's quota for the Red Cross fund. Archbishop Ire land was the principal speaker of the evening. l otted Front to Be Shown. He spoke In part as follows: "A terrible war is being waged. We must not in any shape or form mini mize its force and its difficulties. Un less we present a united front, firmly and enthusiastically, there is danger. The one road to success is the absolute unification of the country in its patriot ism, the absolute resolve that until vic tory comes to America we shall have no ret and that in order that victory shall come we must spare no sacrifice. "The need of this Universal enthusi asm is evident. Why should we send our young' men into the battlefield, into the midst of danger, unless they know and feel that -back of them is all Amer ica, unless they realize they have our fullest and most effective sympathy? "We must cheer our allies, by telling them that we mean what we have said. We have told them that America Is with them. Then let America be with them today. The very presence of the Stars and Stripes in the streets of London and Paris has doubled the courage and the determination of the allies. Let them feel that day after day our en thusiasm grows the more intense and let them know- that whatever might have happened heretofore, today, when the Stars and Stripes mingle with the banners of England and of France, defeat is absolutely impossible fTret on Germany Foreseen. "This great uprising of American patriotism will discourage the adver sary. If word went out across the Rhine and along the -shore of the Dan ube that the American people were not united, were not absolutely one" in their enthusiasm, they would' fight more hopefully. "Most significant was that message of President Wilson that America was now in the front. Most significant is it that the Star-Spangled Banner has crossed the Atlantic and now tells all the nations of the world of the great ness and grandeur of America. More significant yet it will be when it is known that we are all with it, that our soldiers are fighting our battles: and as they will stop short of nothing, of no sacrifice in order to bring victory to the flagfSO we shall be lacking in no active co-operation. "Oh, Stars and Stripes, my heart goes out to thee. We owe thee everything on earth, we owe thee our happy homes. we owe thee our unrivalled prosperity, we owe thee the protection given to our families. They have called on us for sacrifice and we are ready to make it. Sacred Appeal Is Made. "This week the sacrifice demanded from the people of the United States is money to the Red Cross Association. It is a most sacred appeal that is made to them, more sacred, more patriotic even than the appeal to buy liberty bonds. The amount required has been oversubscribed, and when another call for the sale of bonds will come, as I believe it will and It must, for we are engaged in a terrific war, Americans rich and poor, men and women, will make the sacrifice and deprive them selves of what heretofore they may have thought to be necessary for their comfort and for that of their families. "After all, when we purchase war loan bonds we get value, and It has not been a fair test of real disinterested unselfish patriotism. When we give to the Red Cross for the comfort and the solace of our soldiers at home and abroad, it Is a pure gift of patriotism. It is a real test of our sincerity.
