Speaks for Loan.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE BORNE
Spirit of Sacrifice Said to Per
vade United States.
CITIZENS GREET OFFICIAL
Cabinet Officer Is Ruslicd on Fast
Traill to Portland Just In Time
to Deliver Stirring Address
at Tublic Auditorium.
Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the
Interior, told the people of Portland
in a speech at the Auditorium last
night some of the reasons why they not
only must subscribe and subscribe
heavily, but should feel it a privilege
to subscribe to the $5,000, 000,000
liberty loan.
His patriotic message was received
with cheers. And today the total of
liberty bond sales in this town will
Jump to a high mark.
Mr. Lane Sure of City" Verdict.
Of the verdict of his Portland audi
ence Secretary Lane had felt so sure
before he spoke that while en route
here from Pendleton yesterday he tele
graphd to President Wilson this per
sonal summary of his observations on
the tour he is making through the
South and West in behalf of the liberty
loan :
"The peoeple of "West and East are
prepared to give as many men and as
much money as maye be needed to bring
this war to a successful conclusion.
Old men and young, mothers, sisters
and all are engaged in some form of
National service today, saving food,
knitting socks, raising money, or train
ing for the battle."
Natioin Loyal to Core.
At the Auditorium last night Secre
tary LaTie spoke as follows:
"I have come to the Pacific Coast
your Coast and my Coast in search of
those of whom they speak in the East.
In search of those who are not loyal
to the flag, those who do not love their
country and are not willing to make a
bacrifice for it.
"I have come from the Atlantic to
the Facific, and I have failed to find
them.
"This country its loyal to the core!
People Are L'nited.
"I started in Oklahoma, where they
told me there was trouble. I found a
few who did not understand. I have
come through Kansas, and Colorado,
through Itati and Montana, Idaho and.
last of all, your own Oregon, and
everywhere IO have found united
people, strong in upholding the Gov
rrnment of the Lnited states, strong
in spirit, firm in determination, reso
lute, goins to fight it through."
He spoke about the efforts of Sec
retary McAiioo, also in Portland yes
tcroay, to place the Lnited States on
a firm financial bais for the war and
after it. and of what he termed Mr.
McAdoo's farseeing effort three years
ago to build for this country a mer-
chant marine.
"We did not get those ships them."
said Mr. Lane, "but now what have we?
Merrbant Marine to Be Reborn.
"We have a programme for ships
under which, within four months, two
ships a day will be laid down, two ships
a. day will be completed, will float two
fchips every day, continuously, as long
as this war and our money lasts.
"These ships are to go in and out of
the Columbia and Willamette rivers.
They are to carry the wheat and the
wool and the lumber, and all the other
rich products of this Northwestern
country to those who need them.''
"We are to put our flag once more
upon the seven seas. Out of this war
will come the rebirth of the American
merchant marine.
Money to tin Into Ships.
"You are building ships here. To the
north of you. to the south, along the
Gulf they are building ships. Hundreds
of miles inland they are rolling plates
and piercing plates, so at the seaboard
ships may be laid down. We are to
become once more n seafaring people.
"You wish to know," he went on
with stirring emphasis, "where your
money will go.
"It will go into ships. It will go into
aeroplanes. We invented the aeroplane,
and then we let it go abroad. When the
war began we had only 150 airships in
this country. We had let the business
go to England and France and other
countries.
Gigantic Air Fleet Planned.
out. now we are to nave these
Ftrange ships of the air, not by the
hundreds and thousands, but by the
tens of thousands and hundred thou
sands. They are to be the eyes of the
Army. They are to be our scouts. They
are to make us masters of the air."
Time and again as he talked Secre
tary Lane was interrupted with ap
plause. As he told about the Nation's
hhlpbuilding and aeroplane building
jirogramme and the. need for monev.
money and more money with which to
carry out the great work, his audience
cheered in lusty approval of his pie
for that money.
"We invented the things with which
this greatest of wars is now being
fought." continued the. Secretary. "As
we stand here we must realize the fact
that this war in Europe, which has
caused 1S.00.000 men to He in hospital
cots, is being carried on with American

Ranches on Island in River Are
Raided and Horses Stolen.
Reinforcements Sent.
FABEN'S. Tex., Oct. 10. Armed Mexi
cans crossed the international line here
shortly after noon today, captured
Sergeant Michael Zabosky and Private
W. B. Vincent, of a cavalry command
encamped here, who were duckhunting
near the line and placed them in an
adobe house at Saragosa, Mex., five
miles up the river from here.
Later the Americans leaped from a
window and escaped to the American
side with the Mexicans in close pursuit.
The Americans left their shotguns be
hind. They had been hunting on the
San Eliza Rio Island, a large tract of
land which lies on the south side of
the Rio Grande, but on the American
side of the boundary.
The capture and escape of the two
soldiers followed a raid yesterday
afternoon on three American ranches
located on the "island." Twelve horses
were taken from the ranches. Two of
the Mexican raiders were captured by
American Army patrols.
Two of the large armed forces has
been located opposite here near Guada
lupe, Mexico, but American officers
have been unable to learn whether they
are Mexican federal soldiers or bandits,
although the two soldiers said their
captors wore the regulation army uni
forms.
Reinforcements were hurried here
from Ysleta. and San Eliza Rio late to
night and mounted patrols were riding
the river front in search of the raiders
who were reported to have gone east
down the river toward San Juan.
FRANCHISE ALL BUT SURE
Iowa Senator Counts on Passage of
Suffrage Amendment Soon.
DES MOINES, la., Oct. 10. Congress
t its next session will vote "almost
certainly with favorable result" on the
constitutional suffrage amendment.
United States Senator A. B. Cummins
told the Iowa Equal Suffrage Assocla
tion, which continued its 46th annual
convention here today.
Disloyalty was scored vigorously by
the Senator, who asserted that any fail
ure to promote the organization of the
United States for war was disloyalty.
Senator Cummins added a word for
the cause of prohibition, saying:
"I believe that the men of this Na
tion have come to two conclusions.
First, they have decided that the worn
en of the country should be allowed the
right to vote and, second, they have
found this must be a sober Nation."
MINERS DEMAND INCREASE
Workers in Wyoming Coal Field Ask
for 33 1-3 Per Cent Lift.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., Oct. 10. Formal
demand for an increase in wages
33 1-3 per cent was tendered operators
in the Wyoming coal district by repre
sentatrives of the United Mine Work
ers employed there today. About 4000
men are affected.
The operators submitted the demand
by telegraph to Dr. Garfield, Coal Ad
minisiraior, declaring in their mes
sage that if such advance is made coal
prices must be advanced to the public.
Pending reply from him no action
was taken.
NEW DRAFT IS EXPECTED
Registration of Youths Under 21
Likely to Be Provided For.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Representa
tive Kahn. of California, the Republi
can who led the Administrative forces
in the House when the Army draft law
was passed, said today a new draft act
would have to be passed at the next
session of Congress to reach the many
young men who have become 21 years
of age since May IS last.
This, he said, would probably amend
the existing law so as to register
youths from 16 or 14 to become auto
matically subject to call on reaching
the age of 21.

No Concessions Possible Witli Refer

Foreign Secretary; Terri
tory to Be Held.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 10. At the plen
ary sitting of the Reichstag yesterday
Dr. George Michaelis. the Imperial
German Chancellor, declared that peace
was impossible so long as Germany's
enemies demanded any German soil or
endeavored to drive a wedge between
the German people and their Emperor.
The speech of the Chancellor was de
livered during the discussion of the
resolution against propaganda in the
army in favor of a German peace.
'We could get along much better,"
said the Chancellor, "if those who com
bat the peace resolution of July 19 and
assert that its supporters want a sep
arate peace would be more Just to
ward this resolution. We must work
out in their positive sense, and force
fully, the aims comprised in their reso
lution. We must be clear in our minds
as to what we desire and must em-Sj
phasize what was said in the resolu
tion.
"The German nation will stand to
gether as one man. unshakable, and
persevere in the fight until its rights
and the rights of our allies to existence
and development are assured. In its
unity the German empire is invincible.
"We must continue until the German
empire, on the continent and overseas,
establishes this position. Further, we
must strive to see that the srmed alli
ance of our enemies does not grow into
an economic effective alliance.
"We can In this sense accept a peace
which guarantees the peasant the re
ward for his lands; which gives the
worker merited recompense; which
creates a market for industries and
supplies the foundation for social
progress; which gives our ships the
possibility on a free voyage of enter
ing ports and taking coal all over the
world a peace of the widest economic
and cultural development, a real peace.
This peace we can attain within these
limits."
German Secretary Goes Fast.
The German Foreign Secretary, Herr
von Kuehlman, will proceed at an early
date on a visit to Vienna, Budapest,
Sofia and Constantinople. It is said
his mission has important political and
peace significance.

Chief Mustering Officer at Camp

Dying of Consumption.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 10. (Special.)
Autocratic exemption boards who
willy nilly have ridden over the often
pitiful pleas for exemption from Army
duty would feel little elated if they
cculd hear the opinion of Lieutenant
Colonel Frederick G. ICnaubenshue.
chief mustering officer at Camp Lewis.
Colonel ICnaubenshue is in charge at
the base hospital, where thousands of
drafted men are daily receiving their
final physical examinations, and Inci
dentally have poured out their tales of
woe to the great-hearted chief of the
mustering forces.
"Such sheer idiocy, such utter lack
of common sense or reason," said Colo
nel Knaubenshue explosively.
"Here is a case in point." he said.
"A man whom we examined today was
in the last stages of consumption, ut
terly and in every way unfit for mil
itary service. With him he brought a
letter from the exemption board which
passed him saying that the doctors had
disqualified him owing to his physical
condition, but they had sent him any
way, thinking the trip would do him
good.
"Fine patriots, aren't they? They
sent that man many hundreds of miles
at the expense of the United States
Government in time of war because
they thought the trip would do him
good."
"Many men, we are handling the
now at the rate of 8000 per day, with our
very efficient system of examination
here in the base hospital, are almost
in a state of physical collapse owing
to their anxiety over their dependent
families."

Eddie Cicotte who was forced to bow

Giants. Pitted against Rube Benton,

delivery and as crafty in generalship.

Only six of the visitors reached first

Behind Benton the Giants played with
a dash and brilliancy which were com

and deceptive curves they smashed into
the delivery of the White Sox pitching
star in the fourth inning and ham
mered out the two runs which spelled
victory and restored their confidence
for the contests to come.

Place May Be Supplied With Good
Water From Spring on
Irrigation Project.
PENDLETON, Or., Oct. 10. (Special.)
An inspection of 30.000 acres of land I
between Hermiston and Umatilla as a
possible site for one of the additional
Army training camps has been ordered
by the commanding officer of the
Western Division, according to infor
mation reaching here today. Major
Richard -Parks, of the United States
Engineers, has been placed in charge
of the reconnaissance and the work
will be done immediately.
The land lies between the Coyote
Cut-off and the old line of the O. W.
railroad and is practically all Gov
ernment owned. Settlers have signified
their willingness to give up their
claims if necessary. The camp may be
supplied with good water from Min
nehaha spring on the Government irri
gation project at Hermiston and from
the Columbia River. The highest point
on the camp site is estimated to be not
more than 300 feet above the river.
The site, besides being available
from the two lines of the O. W.. may
be reached from the North Bank Rail
road by ferry at Umatilla. The mat
ter was taken up in May with mem
bers of the Oregon delegation and
later submitted to the War Depart
ment. General Marshall, a retired
Army engineer, who inspected the site
at that time, pronounced it to be the
best in the Northwest. Reclamation
officials have also recommended the
location. For handling supplies the
several miles of trackage in Umatilla
are still available.

1600 tons over the .Admiralty's weekly
report of last week, but the figures are
the same as those of the previous week
with regard to vessels in the smal
category.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 10. Secretary
Lansing drew upon his selection of
secret German diplomatic correspond
ence again today to shed further light
upon what the German foreign office
and general staff were doing in this
ccuntry when nominally at peace with
the United States.
He gave to the public without com
ment, as usual, three brief cablegrams
disclosing that, more than a year be
fore submarine pirating drove America
to war, the Berlin government was in
structing Ambassador von Bernstorff
to arrange for destruction of Canadian
railroads and to use Irish-Americans in
carrying on sabotage in their own
country. They showed, too, that Bern

early date, seeking authority to sup-
pert a campaign to influence Con
gress. Tests of Messages Given.

"The following telegram from Count
Bernstorff to the foreign office in Ber

"September IS. With reference to

Of the three men mentioned in the
second message. MacGarrity is a prom
inent Irish leader of Philadelphia, and
Jeremiah O'Lenry, besides heading the
American Truth Society, is editor of
Bull, a publication recently barred
from the mails as seditious. While,
no on at the State Department would
undertake positively to identify the
John P. Keating, it was assumed that
the man referred to was John T.
Keating, of Chicago, and that Case
ment did not know that he had been,
dead for several months. It also was
sugget-ted that Casement might have
proposed these names simply because
he had met the men and knew them
as Irish agitators in this country,
without any correspondence with them
on the subject.
There was no official attempt to
Identify the Dr. Hale recommended by
Von Bernstorff as an authority on the
work of the embargo conference, which
so liberally bombarded Congress with
telegrams demanding that munition
