Soldier Labor la Favored. These unit prices were the same as those embodied in that concern's bids ior the entire 30-mile job, but they will, instead, build about 22 miles of the highway, the remaining eight being constructed by the state on force ac count. "The plan is frankly an experiment," announced W. L. Thompson, commls Eioner. "We consider this the best place to start the soldiers to work, and the results achieved will be a guide in determining the future policy of the commission." It was agreed by all the competing contractors that the winners in each case were to give the preference in employment to discharged soldiers. Many Counties Are Affected.

The roads which Multnomah County .has built to the boundary lines of the county will be connected with the state highway system without delay was the assurance received by Rufus C. Holman, County Commissioner, from J.he State Highway Commission. The certainty of connection with the central system was first established in this assurance, although it has always been assumed that such a plan would be followed out. The Oregon City road by way of Os wego and the Canyon road to Hills boro are the roads vitally affected by this determination. As regards the Oregon City road, the Clackamas County Court appeared be fore the commission and reported that it had $20,000 available for grading and asked co-operation from the state in the matter of grading, in addition to the laying of the pavement. Defi nite action, however, was deferred on this Toad, although it was indicated that it would be taken up at a later meeting. Judge Wallace, of Crook County, ap peared and asked for state aid in that county, but definite action was with held by the commission pending fur ther action by the Legislature.

STERN JUSTICE RULE OF AMERICAN POLICE Names of Convicted Offenders Are Published Weekly. , FLAG VIOLATION IS COSTLY Snappy Work of Military in Area of Occupation Wins Praise for American Policy. BY CYRIL. BROWN. (Copyright. 1010. by the New York 'World. Published by Arrangements COBLEXZ, Feb. 4. (Special Cable.) The enappy work of the American military police in this area would do credit to the finest police force in the world. Stern justice Is being; meted out to the native offenders against American ordinances, and to make justice more effective the Burgomaster of Coblenz is required by the commander-in-chief of the Third Army to insert an adver tisement in" the local newspaper giving each week the names of all convicted offenders, the nature of their offenses and the, amounts they were fined. Today's Coblenz Gazette contains the Burgomaster's advertisement naming seven Germans, including on woman, tried and found guilty hy the Superior Provost Court during last week. Food Violators Are Fined. Five of these offenses were for buy ing or otherwise having possession of foodstuffs which are the property of the American Army. Corporal Bloom enthal. of Kordorf, was fined 3000 marks, about $715 normally, for buying a bag of flour from an unnamed Ameri can officer; Jacob Klratz. of Coblenz, 500 marks ($119) for having a case of American soap in his possession; Ru dolf Suesmann, of Coblenz. 500 marks for harboring a bag of American Army coffee, and Joseph Huber, of Coblenz, 1000 marks ($238) for buying a has of army flour. Frau Gertrude Hubor, the partner in crime of the foregoing, was fined 1000 marks for having possession of army flour, shoes, raincoats, blankets and cigarettes.

The small number of actual convic tions each week is a high tribute to the morale and honesty of the Ameri can Army of occupation, considering the tremendous temptation to which men handling supplies are exposed. The most interesting conviction of the week was that cf Alfred Dyreff, of Coblenz, who was found guilly of mis use of the American flag for commer cial purposes and of misconduct toward the Intelligence Police.

ALBERS JURY DECIDES (Ontlngea Trom First Page.) conceive it or to conceive it more read ily by reason of his into. Icatlon." Courtroom Crowded. With a record crowd again In at tendance when Federal Court con vened yesterday morning, two strik ingly different patterns of argument and oratory were presented by the op posing counsel with Henry E. McGinn closing for the defense and United States District Attorney Haney for the Government. Mr. McGinn, for whom the court room was crowded, was In his own vein tempestuous and vltirollc, fiercely partisan for his friend of many years and client of the present, Henry Albers. He scourged the witnesses for the de fense and excoriated Deputy United States District Attorney Goldstein. Ills argument was replete with historical reference and Biblical quotation. United States District Attorney Haney presented a dispassionate review;of the evidence from the standpoint of the prosecution, attacking in turn each contention of the defense and plead ing tor support or the espionage law. In closing, he made a striking anneal to the jurors, through the quotation of the famous war-poem, "In Flanders Fields." The courtroom was hushed to absolute silence as Mr. Haney re cited like up tne quarrel with the foi To you, from falling hands, wa thrS The torch. Be yours to lift it high! If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though popples DlOW In Flanders Fields." Parable Illustrates Point. Opening with a recital of the Darable oi tne man wno lorgave a debt of 1000 talents, only to have the debtor, in turn, press his claim for 100 pence upon another, Mr. McGinn declared that the parable finds modern application in the fact that "the United States is now in the hands of the Southern Con federacy," or those states which once represented it, and that the espionage taw was latnerea Dy tnoss who were granted amnesty from the North after the civil war. inis is oniy tain oy way or re minder." said Mr. McGinn, "that the old parable still remains with us and that those who were forgiven the 1000 tal ents are not ready to forgive the one that owes 100 pence. Whether for weal or woe." he continued, referring to the espionage act. "it has been en acted, it is the law under which we must live and It is the law that we must abide by. I find no fault with the fact that we are vigilant, that we are watchful of the German that came here to plot against us, but I do find fault that we have condemned the German-American as we have condemned him. I find iauit that we look at tim askance, find fault that we trust him no more. "I find fault," shouted Mr. McGinn that the men who have always been our friends shouid be distrusted, and that Great Britain, who hired Indians and put them in the field to scalp our people, should all at once bo trusted I am of the old school I fear the Greeks bearing gifts." German Attitude Pralued. The counsel declared that he must pay his tribute to the present attitude of the people of Germany, as against Bolshevism and disruption, however de praved and misguided they have been in the world war. and asserted th "there are no people now engaged In better warfare than are those people who are trying to see that a man can eat under his own vine and fig tree without being driven away. Though bitter against "Great Britain, whose course he followed through long historical period of the Hanover ian Kings, and to whose actions he attributed tne aecp haired or Henry Albers for England, he paid a movingly sincere tribute to the worth of Albion in the recent war. "Great Britain was grandly and glor iously right in 1914," exclaimed Mr. McGinn, "when she came to the rescue of Belgium: and if she never did an other act the unpardonable ain was wiped out by the tear of the recording angel." Referring to the defendant as "this poor German boy," Mr. McOtnn de clared that the defendant had ample reason to hate England, and that it was this hatred which to a large ex tent prompted his speech when in toxicated and "on that train sur rounded by those harpies.'' Government Witnesses Scored. "Poor old Henry 'was drunk," said Mr. McGinn, "and he had but one no tion in his head, that a lot of fellows were cursing men who had made hon est dollars between drinks." He declared that he would not re view evidence so procured, and turned instead to his scoring of the Govern ment's witnesses. Deputy Marshal Tichenor he termed "the incarnation of conceit." E. C. Bedizen, he pre dicted, would "die in the insane asylum." Kinney was "the self-righteous Kinney." Gamaunt, whose at tempt to negotiate with the Albers brothers has been variously construed, he characterized as "that other ras cal." "Because Henry Albers made a mis take in judgment, is he going to be condemned, is he going to be sent over the road?" asked Mr. McGinn. "Are we to take this poor boy, 14 years of age when he began to learn his trade and build it up and throw him to the wolves? He might be my own brother and be closer to me than ha is, but he is my dearest friend. Dear as he is. I will take him and compare him with these five witnesses. History Swept Aside. Fine! Fine, Isn't It? Poor old Henry was like the man who went own from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves! It don't make ny difference what becomes of Henry Albers or where he goes, I'll still be Is friend. Of course he is human nd I have heard it said that I am some human, myself." In closing Mr. McGinn declared that i J. Henry Albers, Whose Trial on Ksplonaae Charga Ended Yes terday. o German-Americans, such r.s Henry Albers, and to, his former countrymen n Germany, the world would owe its debt of deliverance from Bolshevism. In the closing argument of the Gov ernment, Mr. Haney swept aside the historical references of the defense as mmaterial and bade the jurors recall that they were trying Henry Albers. efendant. charged with violation of he espionage act. The remarks at- ributed to Albers, contended Mr. Haney, are those of ore schooled in he doctrines of German "kultur" be- ief in the German as an invincible uperman. Isor has the German belief in kultur hanged through defeat, declared Mr. laney, though Germany still seeks to gain her ends by direction, and hough the surrender of Germany was servile and abject. France at Trafalger. and Spain at Santiago, said counsel for the defense, proved loyal to manhood and belief, and sent their fleets forth to certain destruction against overwhelming odds. "The German could have followed kultur if he had wanted to," asserted Mr. Haney, referring to the surrender of the Hun fleet. "At Santiago, with smoke pouring out of his funnels, his guns blazing, the Spaniard came emt o destruction and death. He had the courage of his convictions." Ail Points Covered. Mr. Haney denied that, under stress of actual test, many citizens of Ger man birth had proved their loyalty to America. "These same Germans. whom counsel talks of as having loved for 40 years, exclaimed Mr. Haney. 'had been undermining us for 33 of hose 40 years. W hen war came on hey were destroying bridges, causing explosions in factories. provoking strikes and otherwise hampering the fighting arm of America. Count by count, and testimony by testimony, Mr. Haney summed up the case against the defendant, asserting that the defense had not lessened its worth in the least and citing the fact hat Mr. McGinn, counsel for the de fendant had "never touched a point in the case at any time." 'I have only those poor talenta that God gave me." said Mr. Haney. "I have not the masterly eloquence of Judge McGinn." But I expect to do my duty and, by God, l win do It! I rep resent 100,000,000 people, and you as Jurors represent them. 'Since when did this Dutchman grow so great th.t it is a crime lor a united States Marshal to look after him? What has he eaten that he has grown so great that an American citizen, hear ing him abuse the American Govern ment, may not take steps against him? What do you want your United States Marshcl to do? W"hat do you expect him to do? He has taken an oah to support the Constitution and laws of the united tr.ai.es ana he sees one flagrantly violated before his eyes. What do you want him to do turn his back and walk away? "I want you," said Mr. Haney, in closing, to the Jurors, "when you meet the roan whose son paid the last sac rifice over tncre to De aoie to iook him in the eye and say that you did your duty." In deep silence, witn tne eyes or the Jurors b.nt upon him. .Mr. Haney read the poem. In Flanders f lelds. Youth Bound Over to Grand Jury.
