THE 3IORXING O RE G O XI AN, FRIDAY, JUXE 7, 1918. IVy ALERT, READY, ASSERT SENATORS would be largely for signal purposes. 1 In connection with the warning of shipping. Acting Secretary Roosevelt disclosed late today that a radio mes sage was sent broadcast by the Navy more than a week ago Informing all shipping and shore stations that enemy submarines might appear at any port along the Atlantic Coast. At that time the news that the enemy had attacked schooners off the "Vir ginia capes had not reached, the de partment, and Mr. Roosevelt declined to discuss how the Navy received the information upon which the warning was based. BLANK' SAMPLE A SHOP 360 Morrison St, Cor. Park Full Confidence Expressed in Ability to Combat German Submarine Menace. TO TAKE REST U-BOAT ATTACK DEBATED L1PMAWOLFB RED CROSS ROOM TO CLOSB SATURDAYS. Var Department Asks Appropriation of $16,000,0 0 0 to Construct Bal loon arid Airplane Stations Along Eastern Coast. WASHINGTON, June 6. Complete confidence in the measures taken by the Navy to deal with submarine raid ers was expressed in the Senate to day by spokesmen on both sides of the chamber. Senator Lewis, of Illinois, Demo cratic whip, and .Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, Republican, Joined in declaring that the Navy was on the alert and ready for the enemy. These expressions came in the midst of a sharp debate precipitated by the reading by Senator Brandegee, of Con necticut, of a newspaper editorial criticising the Navy Department for not warning shipping of the presence of the submarines. Commenting on this. Senators Lewis and Lodge agreed that there was no complaint against the Navy, though they had veny different theories as to what possibly drew the submarines to American shores. Senator Lewis said the attack was Invited by false statements In Congress and elsewhere regarding the Nation's unpreparedness; while the Massachu setts Senator suggested that "loose brags and boasts" about the number of American troops transported over seas had contributed to the appear ance of the raiders. Germany Declared Misled. The U-boat raids were not at tempted. Senator Lewis declared, until Germany was advised by inaccurate in formation that the Americon Govern ment was "honeycombed with fraud" and reeking with pollution and cor ruption; that the United states had no Army or Navy, and "that we had fallen down in every undertaking." "These charges," he said, "induced Germany to believe that we could not defend our own country." "I think Germany was invited to our shores," Senator Lewis continued, "by the false charges made against the Administration by those who sought to benefit politically by aspersion upon their own country. That Germany will find us ready Is not to be gainsaid. That we are wholly and completely prepared will not, by any patriot, be disputed. But -Germany was invited by the unjust assaults by those who would benefit politically." Aelaon Hits Bark. Senator Nelson, of Minnesota, Re publican, sharply Interjected: "Does the Senator think he can stop the German submarines by making an assault on the Republican party?" Senator Lewis replied that he had not mentioned the Republican party and that such a charge against that organization would be untruthful. He added, however, that many charges of unpreparedness had come from indivi duals in public and official life as well ne in private life. "The fact remains that the spirit Is too general," Senator Lewis concluded, "by which we accept accusations upon any official who is powerless to reply and the public believes that the silence proves their truth." ' Lodge Blames Bragging-. With apparent feeling. Senator Lodge said: "Nothing has so stimulated and in cited Germany as the loose brags and boasts about the number of troops we are transporting to France. Germany- was not invited here by attacks upon the Navy, because there have been none. The Navy and the Navy De partment have taken every precaution. No doubt in some, newspaper offices there are men who might have done better. "The Navy and the Navy Depart ment," the Massachusetts Senator con tinued, "have necessarily anticipated a submarine attack from the beginning of the war. They have had it con atantly In mind. They have tried to take every precaution to meet it. I think they have." While this discussion was in prog ress Secretary Baker sent to Congress a request for a $16,000,000 appropriation for 16 new balloon and airplane sta tions along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, to supplement the Army's preparations for its part in repelling submarine or air attacks. Equipment on Hand. Equipment for the stations is said to be in hand and they probably will be established within a few weeks after tXe money is provided. The coast defense plan.as submitted by the department also calls for the establishment of fortifications along the coasts by which guns could be transferred on railroads from-, one point to another to meet possible at tacks. The House appropriations committee, to whom the request went, was In formed that there are in operation a sufficient number of aircraft to defend the coasts adequately, but that the sta tions are needed. The only possible airplane attack that could be made, it was said, would como from collapsible airplanes carried by submarines.

A Mrs. Vernon Castle photoplay at the Hippodrome on the new bill open ing yesterday has a big appeal and vies for attention with- the vaudeville offer ings. Mrs. Castle,, picturesque and slender, with a certain wistful person ality, plays the leading role in "Ven geance Is Mine." As the daughter of a father who has committed suicide because of a false accusation of embezzlement, she sets out to deliberately wreak- vengeance upon the men who had ruined her father. She gains proof of their villainy and is about to crush them when romance steps in. and other elements enter Into her plans. " The story ends prettily. Elliott Dexter plays the hero role nicely. Of the vaudeville offerings the Vic toria Four claim first attention. Ernest Storm is the first tenor, Dave Brenner second tenor, Fred Meehan the bari tone and Duke liendrix is the basso. The four voices blend nicely, their owners possess smiling personalities and they aim. to please, and do it. Another group of entertainers who feature sweet melodies, but by the in strumental rather than the vocal route, is the Premier Filipino Sextet, native Hawaiian musicians, who offer a reper toire of popular and native airs. LcKoT,Hart and Mabel Hart also have a musical treat in the nature of artistic singing.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, June 6. The conference of Ore gon and Washington lumbermen and loggers with the price fixing committee set for yesterday was postponed until Monday next, at which time, after hear ing the facts presented by the West Coast lumber interests, new lumber prices, both for the Government and for the trade, will be set. In a way the price-fixing committee intends to regulate the price of lumber to the con sumer, but only, it is understood, to the extent of fixing the price which manufacturers may charge. In advance of the hearing it is not possible to learn what changes in ex isting lumber prices will be made. That there will be some changes and-some reductions is expected, but the lumber men themselves expect no change in the price of ship lumber. No Advance in Fir -Expected. The change from the Ferris to the Ballin type of ship has made a more difficult schedule of lumber, but even bo. no advance in fir for shipbuilding is expected to be ordered., and Indeed it is not thought any increase on this item will be asked. Representatives of the lumber manu facturers of Oregon and Washington, under the direction of E. B. Hazen, of Portland, have been formulating ex haustive figures showing the cost of producing lumber of various classes, and on these cost figures they will go before the price fixing committee and get under a sichel straw hat and keep cool 3to'12 bathing suits all color combinations. from $2 to $7.50 buy early Saturdays we close at 8 p. m. sharp 121 o Sichel 331 Washington street near broadway TEAS BROOMS FLOURS AT VERY LOW PRICES The Warm Weather Drink Iced Tea TEAS Low Prices Io you know in Just what Is to be found THE SUPERIORITY of ROSE OF CEYLON TEA 'The delightful fragrance; the uniquely delicious fla-or; the benefi fcent strength and the full-bodied quainy ana eye-pieaeing tone of its ricn n&u Liymiii.
