stitutions, the Attorney-General's in
vestigation disclosed.
Money Sent to Newspaper.
Tart of this money, it was revealed,
went to Senator Charles Humbert, own
er of Le Journal, a Paris newspaper,
which, however, according to cable dis
patches, he refunded after becoming
suspicious of Bolo.
Several weeks ago, Mr. Lewis' state
ment said, the French Ambassador
asked the assistant of Governor Whit
man in the effort to obtain Informa
tion as to the activities of Bolo Pasha
in this country. The Governor asked
Attorney-General Lewis to render all

G. Amsinck & Co.. the-Royal Bank of
Canada, New York branch, and J. P.

him with valuable information which
he cabled to his government, the state
ment said and the arrest of Bolo Pasha
followed.

formed the bank's officials that they
would receive from G. Amsinck & Co.
about fl. 700, 000, of which amount $1.
160,000 -was to be placed to the credit
of Humbert. The sum of $o000, Bolo
i'asna wrote, was to be entered to the
credit of Jules Bois, French lecturer,
then in New York, for his personal
needs.
Boln Said to Be Dupe.
It was explained tonight by the Attorney-General's
investigators that Mr.
Bois was "used as a cloak of respecta
bility" to cover the activities or the
plotters, but that the lecturer was not
aware of the schemes of his associates.
An' additional sum of $524,000 was to
be transferred to the credit of Madam
Bolo and a balance of $$1,000,000 was
to be held "subjeet to my instructions."
This balance of $1,000,000. it was stat
ed, had been left on deposit with J. P.
Morgan & Company and afterward was
checked out to Perier & Company, Paris
bankers.
Checks Are Photographed.
The transfer of the money to G.
Amsinick & Company was not entered
on that firm's books, it was announced,
but was recorded by transfer of checks
by direction of Adolph Payenstedt, sen
ior' member of the firm at that time,
who is reputed to have been an inti

LONDON. Oct. 3. Eleven British
merchantmen of more than 1600 tons
each and two vessels under 1600 tons
were sunk by mines or submarines last
week, according to the British Ad

The foregoing statement of the Brit
ish Admiralty again lowers the aggre
gate of merchantmen sunk by mines
or submarines during any week since
Germany began her intensified subma
rine warfare. As against 15 vessels
sunk the previous week, which was the
low record since February, only 13
merchantmen are shown to have been
sent to the bottom last week.
LONDON. Oct. 3. The total losses to
world's shipping since Germany's ruth

gregate about . two-thirds of those
claimed by the Germans in a statement
issued September 1. At that time the
Germans alleged that an average of
900,000 tons had been sunk monthly for
seven months.
The actual total of tonnage sunk
compiled here shows that not even dur
ing the most successful month for the
U-boats April have the figures
reached any such proportions, while
the August losses dropped to almost
half the April figure.

About the first thing I saw on the
morning of my arrival in I'etrograd
last Spring was a group of young men,
about 20. I should think, marching
through the street in front of my hotel,
carrying a scarlet banner with an in
scription in large -white letters.
"What does that banner say?" I asked
the hotel commissionaire, who stood be
side me.
"It says "All the Tower to the So
viet,' " was the answer. '
"What is the soviet?" I asked, and
he replied briefly:
Soviet Only Government.
"It is the only government we have
in Russia now."
And he was right. The Soviets, or
councils of soldiers' and -workmen's
delegates, which have spread like wild
fire throughout the .. country, are the
nearest thing to a government that
.Russia has known since the very early
days of the revolution.
Tb most striking parallel between
-the" French and the Russian revolu
tions lies in the facility with which
both were snatched away from the
sane and intelligent men who began
them and placed in the bands of fanat
ics, who turned them into mad orgies
of blood and terror. The first French

ences between American and allied

day, initiated the discussions and in

to make sure that there be no nullifi

States Government had In view In put

Allies Get Together.
The step indicated that the allies
have united in a decision that the neu
trals but cut off the - shipment of
all supplies to Germany. The new pol
icy can be accomplished through rigid
embargoes applied by all the allies.
The neutrals cannot long exist. with
out British and American supplies and
within the next two or three months
all of them are expected to declare flat
embargoes on the export of their com
modities to all countries. This will hit
England as well as Germany, but the
British, who can draw on the United
States, are in a position to do without
neutral goods, while Germany, cut off
from the rest of - b world, cannot ex
ist, officials here say, if neutral ship

To those familiar with the military
and economic situation in Germany
the new policy . indicates that the al

conclusion that by making every use
of economic weapons the war will be
ended much more quickly than by mili
tary supremacy alone.
While the American and British em
bargoes cut off virtually all supplies
to the European neutrals there still Is
the chance that some goods will reach
them from South America, despite the
British blockade. To meet this situa

Farmers will hear the first gun of
the liberty loan speaking campaign
next Sunday afternoon at the school
house In District No. 10. six miles west
of Newberg, in the Upper Chehalcm
Valley. .
Judge Henry E. McGinn, of Portland,
will preach -the gospel of the liberty
loan to the farmers of the Chehalcm
Mountains. That the message should
be given first of all to the farmers Is
thought singularly appropriate, for at
every crisis in the history of the Re
public they have rallied to the flag and
all that It stands for.
"It's the Lord's work," said Judae
McGinn yesterday, when asked if he
would go and address the Sunday meet
ing. "I'll go."
Farmers of the Chehalem Mountains
were the first to ask for Information
on the second installment of the loan
and the need for Oregon to subscribe
its 116.500.000 allotment. They asked
the Newberg Commercial Club for a
speaker and the request was relayed
to bond headquarters at Fifth anH
Stark streets. Arrangements were,
made at once.
All Will Be Kxplalned.
Judge McGinn will speak on the pa
triotic demands of the hour, or the is
sues Americans must meet and he will
tell how the bond sales will help win
the war. Another speaker, not yet
selected, will also appear and explain
the bond issue, as well as answer ques-'
tions that may be asked about It. '
The meeting Is scheduled for 2:30 in
the afternoon and the Newberg Com
mercial Club and local committee will
run auto excursions to the little coun
try schoolhouse in District No. 10.
The Federal Reserve Board has sent
In a special request that, the patriotic
appeal in connection with the bond
sales be taken direct to the farmers,
and It is felt that if this is not com
plied with Justice will not be done in
this respect.
""- V. Dolph is chairman of a com
mittee of farmers of - the Chehalem
Mountains who sent the request for a
speaker. This meeting will be the first
of a series of Sunday gatherings
throughout the state where the liberty
loan will be discussed, and the country
meeting nlaces. rather than the towns,
will be iosen for these gatherings.
Cyrus Pierre Is Coming.
Speakers are to play a big part in
the liberty loan campaign. Allen L.
Chlckering. of San Francisco, general
chairman of the speakers' committee
of the Pacific Coast district, has as
signed Cyrus Pierce, of San Francisco,
to deliver one or two addresses In
Portland Tuesday, October 2.1.
During the first bond campaign Mr.
Pierce developed into ' the leading
speaker in California on this subject
and in the present drive he will give
all his time to speaking on this Coast.
He will appear In leading Pacific Coast
cities and will give one day to Portland.
Another effective ally for the bonds
was enlisted yesterday, when the
women's liberty loan committee for
Oregon. Sarah H. Evans, chairman, met
and got down to a working basis. They
were addressed by State Manager Mil
ler and pledged effective work.
"Bonds for Women: They Follow Our
Boys to France." was adopted as the
slogan for the campaign, and this will
soon appear on stickers and other' lit
erature that will carry with it appeals
to everyone to buy bonds.
Merchants to Be Qulssed.
Pressure will be brought to bear up
on merchants of the city and state to
label their packages with the stickers
and also to display bond posters and
literature and work for the bond sales
