Dr. Bernard .Dernburg. former Ger man colonial minister, writes to the Berlin Tageblatt something whhsh evi dently has bearing on the situation when he says that Germany, threatened with dishonor, will satisfy her needs and realize her future. The proclamation of bolshevism In Hungary, says the Pall Mall Gazette, has given a shock to the peace con ference, which Is precisely what It in- AFTER INFLUENZA, GRIP Aa4 Other Proatratlaa- Diseases That Exhauat the Strength, There Is always a depleted condition of the blood, that extreme tired feeling, nervousness and digestive weakness from which recovery Is slow unless a good medicine is taken.

The paper adds: N "It is a rehearsal of the taetlcs by which Ebert and Scheldemann think of greeting the terms of peace." The Westminster Gazette, a ' strong supporter of the league of nations, says knowledge of what has taken place at the peace conference is very scanty, "but so far as we can ascertain ihas been perpetually losing 'its way in a thicket of details and allowing its great decisions to be postponed by dif ferences on questions which, though intrinsically of great importance, are yet subordinate to the main issues." "Cynics and militarists," It continues, "are blaming President Wilson and the league of nations for this unhappy state of- things." Vleaaa la Excited. The revolution In Hungary caused great excitement in Vienna, but did I not surprise those who were aware of the true condition of affairs, says the Vienna correspondent of the Telegraph. He says the communists of Hungary have long been the real masters of the country and have been only waiting an opportunity to get rid of Count Karolyi. who is considered in Hungary capable of making a stand against the extrem ists, and that even in Czecho-Slovakla there are strong bolshevikl Influences. He adds there Is grave danger of Bo hernia following the example of Hun gary. The situation Is attributed by the correspondent to the failure of the peace conference at Paris to recognize the seriousness of the situation and occupy Budapest with entente troops. He says the only way to save the situa tion is to send American or British forces there, but adds: "Where a battalion would have suf ficed formerly, a brigade would be necessary now." Peace Coaferenee Blamed. The Hungarian revolution and the reported alliance of the new govern ment with the Russian soviet, which Is considered here as a grave menace! to Europe, has given rise to new criti cism here of delays in the peace con ference proceedings. The Globe, referring to the situation in Hungary, says: "That Is the natural consequents of the delay of the peace conference in making peace, and if the delay con tinues we will have worse conse quences still. All this discussion of the league covenant before even a prelim inary peace has been reached simply encourages the spread of the bolshevik disease and gives our chief enemy op portunities for intrigue." Germans Are Suspected. Commenting on the action of Hn- gary, the Times says: It Is not yet possible to judsre the origin and extent of this last disturb ance: In view of certain menaces which statesmen and the German press have freely employed and of the close rela tions between some Hungarian and German intriguers, it is susceptible of more explanations than one. On the face of it, however, it looks serious. The Daily Chronicle says: "The Roumanians, Poles and Czecho Slovaks are pillars without which neither a free central Europe nor world society based on a league of na tions can be sustained. If we can se cure their development as free orderly states the German dream of a German- Ist central Europe dominating the world is doomed to disappear. If we fail to do so, it will assuredly revive and, in connection with German-Influ enced Russia, may revive much sooner than public opinion has yet realized.

DEAD HEADS MUST GO H ARM 17 STOWAWAYS TO BE RE TURNED TO FRAXCE. on the box. 30c, Officers Unduly Eager to Get Home Will Be Transferred to First Eastbonnd Ship to Sail. WASHINGTON. March 24. Two army officers, en route home on a transport as stowaways, will enjoy only a brief glimpse of home, it was learned today at the war department. They will be shipped back immediately to face charges on their arrival in France. A cablegram reported their presence on the ship and they will be transferred at once on the transport s arrival to the first eastbound vessel to sail. Similar treatment was accorded five officers, two captain and three lieu tenants, who stowed away immediately alter tne armistice was signed last No vember. In that case, also, the cable paved the way for their immediate re turn. The ship docked one side of a pier at the opposite side of which lay an outward-bound vessel, which had been held two hours to take away the stowaways. They were marched down one gangplank and up the other and arrived again in France with the unique experience of having made a round trip to New York without any stopover whatever. -The return of stowaways for trial is expected to discouraKe the practice. Concrete Shipyard Offered Brazil. RIO JANEIRO, March 24. Domenfcio da Gama, minister of foreign affairs, has received an offer from a New York corporation to build a shipyard in Bra xil for the construction of concrete vessels. SAN FRANCISCO, March 24. Con firmation of the execution of the former emperor of Russia and his wife and daughters under particularly revolting circumstances by bolshevik troops was made here today by General Robert C. Paris, one of me tirst French officers to be assigned to the Cxecho-Slovak army In Russia. General Paris is on his way home to make an official report of the occurrence to the French govern ment. He arrived here yesterday from Vladivostok. Nicholas and his family were shot in the basement of their house at Ekater inburg, Siberia. The women of the once royal family were subjected to indigni ties and mistreatment in the presence or tne former czar before the execu tions took place. General Paris said. the walls of the -rooms in the house at present are writings by bol shevists, in which the former czarina's name and those of her daughters are frequently mentioned, said the general. This house is now the headquarters of ueneral Gaida, a Czecho-Slovak com mander. Describing -the scene attending the execution of the Romanoff family General Paris said:- T Nicholas Executed First. "Early one morning the czar was taken from an upstairs room and stood against the wall in the basement of the house. "Mi ere he was shot, but not be fore his wife and daughters had been mistreated in his presence. After that the czarina was shot and then ber daughters and other members, of the household. V few days later the bodies were taKcn. under cover of night, by auto mobiles into nearby villages, where they were cut into. small pieces and burned. The charred remains were found by officers of the forces opposed to the bolshevikl. . (P 99 J fi STREET FLOOR .Sfc MEN'S SHOPS T COOS BAT SHIPYARD WORKER'S EMPTY SKIFF LOCATED. Evidence Held Conclusive "Remains of the burned clothing also were found. Proof that the garments were those of the Romanoffs was given by the fact that the diamonds which the czarina and her daughters wore in their waists were picked up. Apart from this there was ample evidence that the burned bodies and clothing were those of the exiled royalties. "The room in which the murders were committed now is sealed. The plaster on the walls shows where the rifle bullets penetrated. The bullets were removed with bayonet points. Blood stains have been washed from the floor. Under the flooring, however, little pools of blood were found. In several places in the death chamber the blood seeped through cracks in the floor. "Everyone in Russia now is thoroughly convinced that the entire Romanoff household was wiped out by the bol shevists. Official reports sent, to France were conclusive. "The former czar and bis family are dead. That is positive. Killing Is Held Humane. "The shooting of the Romanoffs was regarded as 'humane killing' by the bolshevists. They probably ' wished to show some consideration for royalty and this tragical murder was 'showing consideration in their warped brains. "But the priestsX-many were stripped of their clothing and stood upright in especially constructed boxes filled with ice; thus they were frozen to death. Others were thrown naked on spiked planks. 'Many were decapitated. In many ways, inconceivable to the aver age human mind, they were massacred. And some people are advocating that the bolshevists be recognized as the most democratic government in the world.' 'The bolshevists In control of Rus sia today will never be recognized. The socialists, the reasonable ones, are worthy of some consideration. But the bolshevikl they are destructive social ists and must go down." When General Paris arrives in France he will not only urge Immedi ate allied Intervention in Russia, but will ask that the peace conference make a settlement in regard to control of the trans-Siberian railway. The allied commands in Siberia have no confidence in each other, he said, and the existing friction over the trans portation question is helping the bol shevikl cause. HUNGARY IN GRIP OF.

Searching parties who have scanned both shores of Coos bay from Marshfield to Charleston, failed to lo cate Gordon Cody, who went out from Empire Saturday to fish for crabs. His skiff was picked up this morning at Pony inlet by men working on the steamer Alert. ' Mr. Cody's open knife and a box of matches were found on a seat and his friends believe, according to this, tHat he did not fall from the boat and drown. Cody, who is a painter at the Coos Bay shipyard, drew his pay Saturday noon and had besides a considerable amount of. money with him, which facts lead his friends to believe he met with foul play. He was last seen near Jar vis landing, the old stage station which accommodatted the travelers between Drain and Coos bay before the rail road was built. Coroner Fred Wilson and county of ficials visited Hennessey's marsh today. the point where the boat was found.
