Hals Thanks Allied Press Representatives for Tart Played iu Great War. COLOGNE, Monday, Dec. 16. (By the Associated Press.) Last night and the right before the Germans experimented with mild defiance of martial law as instituted by the British troops of oc cupation and paid the penalty for their indiscretion. When the British issued their edict that the civilians, with certain excep tions, must be off the streets at 7 o'clock in the evening and then, think ing this too severe, altered the hour to 9 o'clock, many persons decided the order was a mere formality and meant nothing'. Saturday night was thfi first time that the rul was rigidly enforced. At that time some 200 civilians who were parading the streets were rounded up by the military police. Yesterday these persons were tried and each was fined 10 marks. Tardy Taken By Police. Last night the performance was re newed. At 9 o'clock large numbers of persons were promenading about the streets. Some tardy ones undoubtedly were unwittingly breaking the law, but many of them made the infraction quite apparent. These persons even looked at the street clocks and laughed. They soon found out, however, that business was intended. A cordon of military police was thrown out and every person was compelled to show a pass or give their names or answer to a summons for today. Several hundred men and women will be tried today. Field Marshal Haig came to Cologne this morning to make his initial tour of inspection of the territory occupied by the British along the Rhine. Im mediately on his arrival the British commander-in-chief proceeded to the famous Hohanzollern bridge for . a meeting with more than a score of war correspondents representing all the Kreat newspapers of the allied and neu tral countries. Farewell Said to Writers The meeting was In the nature of a farewell to tho writers who have been accredited to British headquarters and who finished their labors when the British completed their occupation of the territory assigned to them under the armistice. In a brief address the Field Marshal expressed his deepest thanks for the work done by the press in presenting the truth of the war to the world and the hope that the correspondents , henceforth would devote their energies in advocating everlasting peace. "Do not let us get swelled heada over our victory the same as other persons did after 1870, ' said the Field Marshal during his speech. - Nempaper Men Thanked. "I wish to thank you," said General Haig, "for the great services which you have rendered during this war. which indeed has been the greatest war in history. It was impossible to do more than you gentlemen have done. "You of the British press from the beginning of the struggle have carried out your work with complete success. Your dispatches have helped to give hope and courage to our families at homo and to enlighten the public as to the magnitude of Great Britain's ef fort in the great cause for freedom. "The allied press representatives have cemented the bonds of union be tween our allies and ourselves by spreading the truth in their respective countries by presenting our efforts in their true perspective. Allied Countries Cemented. "The correspondents of the United States have by their accounts tended to bring about a better attitude in Amer ica toward the British. They have shared largely in producing the mutual esteem which now exists between the two countries. May this feeling de velop and long continue. "I have also to thank those repre sentatives of the neutral press who have left the security of their homes and who have borne testimony to what they have seen the British front. In no previous war have the relations between the army and the press been so entirely satisfactory. Perhaps that is one reason why we are at this mo ment on one bridge over the Rhine.

S. Gile. president of the Pheas ant Northwest Products Company. Mr. Gilo . recently returned from Washington,- where he put up the fight to eliminate the taxation pro vision which would have increased the revenue tax from one cent per gallon to 20 per cent at valorem, on all soft drinks, and from 20 to 90 cents per gallon on loganberry juice. The pro posal would have increased the tax on apple and grape juices as well as on loganberry Juice. Mr. Gile stated that the proposed tax would have exceeded the cost of pro duction of the beverages with which the fruit juices would be compelled to compete. "By removal of the tax, fruit juice industries will continue to grow." said Mr. Gile, who stated that he re ceived the full co-operation of both Senators McNary and Chamberlain, of Oregon; Senator Poindexter, of Wash ington, and Representative Hawley, of Oregon. "The loganberry industry was saved from ruin by the manufacture of the fruit into a juice, and the manufactur ing Industry saved from a like fate by the elimination of the tax from the revenue bill." said Mr. Gile. He pointed out also that the apple industry of the Northwest, through the possibility of marketing second-grade apples, thous ands of tons of which are used by the fruit-juice producing firms, has been aided immeasurably by the elimination of the' tax. 10 MEN 1 SECRETARY OP XAVT PRESENTS ARMY COMMISSIONS.

HUN BRUTALITY IS RETOLD DR. ANDREW HALL SPEAKS AT CNIVERSITY CLTJB BANQUET. British Army Officer Says Peace Loving People Responsible for Fall of Kalscrlsm. "We either will get rid of all war or we will blot out civilization." This is the way Dr. Andrew Hall. eX Canadian army officer who has just returned to Portland from" Europe, ex pressed his approval of President Wil son's peace programme in a talk last night at a banquet in his honor at the University Club. Dr. Hall dwelt in his speech on the brutality of the German people under their system of militarism. "They are brutal enough to beat the devil at his own game." he said. "I have seen captured German officers refuse to carry a dying man from a muddy field to a first-aid station. 1 am sure that General Foch or Per shing or Haig would never do such a thing, no matter what the circum stances." Dr. Hall marveled at the fact that at a moment's notice, the people he terms the most peace-loving of all, the British, jumped into the war and suc ceeded in outdoing the war-loving Ger mans. "And after all." he said, "it is the peace-loving nature that enabled them to outdo the Germans. Every improvement that was of real value in the war was developed by the peace loving people." Dr. Hall spoke of the wonderful wel come that President Wilson would get if he visits England. "This is coming to him," he said, "because of the warm feeling toward America and the knowl edge that President Wilson Is a typical American. The British people realize that without America the war would have been lost." SOLDIER SEVERELY HURT Automobile and Streetcar Collide on Montgomery Street. W. M.
