VICTORIA, B. C, April 30. V. Napier
TJenison, euperintendent of the Gon
zales observatory, said the seismograph
early today was disturbed by the most
severe earthquake recorded in five or
six years. The quake was centered
about 6500 miles from Victoria, Super
intendent Denison said, probably in
Chile, South America. Tremors com
menced at 12:30 A. M. and continued
four and one-half hours.
SPOKANE, April SO. A eeries of
earthquake chocks, beginning at 11:29
P. M. and continuing to 2:45 A. M..
were recorded by the seismograph at
Gonzaga university last night. The
heaviest shocks were recorded from
11:53 to 12:24 A. M. Indications were
the disturbance was about 5300 miles
from here, in a southwesterly direction,
WASHINGTON, April 30. A severe
and prolonged earthquake, estimated
to have centered between 4000 and 4100
miles from Washington, was recorded
early today at the Georgetown univer
sity seismological observatory.
ST. LOUIS. April 30. Severe earth
quake shocks centered 5400 miles west
liy southwest were recorded early to
day by the seismograph at St. Louis
university. Fifteen distinct shocks,
starting at 2:30 A. M. and ending at
6:20 A. were registered.
SAN JOSE, Cal., April 30. An earth
quake of severe intensity not more
than 400 miles distant was recorded
early today at Lick observatory. Mount
Hamilton, near San Jose. Professor
"William Wallace Campbell said an ex
ceptionally fine record indicating the
distance was made on the seismograph,
the shock occurring at 12:51 e'clock
and continuing 45 minutes, extending
in all directions, but the principal
movement was north and south.
"I do not think it one that would
have caused damage to much extent,"
he said. "The center of the disturbance
appeared to have been no more than
400 miles from Lick observatory and
not closer than 300 miles."
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. April 30. Scien
tists here report no record of any local
earthquake, and said if the seismograph
at Lick observatory recorded a tremor
it must have been in some other direc
tion.
SEATTLE, April 30. The University
of Washington seismograph early today
recorded a severe earthquake centered
about 2200 miles from here.
Vibrations were so heavy that the
north and south needle of the seismo
graph swung five inches and dropped
off the recording drum. First vibra
tions were recorded at 12:35 A. M. The
needle left the drum at 1:03 A. M. The
shock continued until 2:30 A. M.
At first it was thought "the earth
quake was in Mexico or Alaska. When
told of the report from Lick observa
tory that It was believed the quake
was 400 miles from San Jose, Cal., the
university authorities reached the. con
clusion that It probably was caused bj
volcanic disturbances in Mexico.
NEW YORK, April 30. South Amer
ica Cable company reports indicate
that the earthquake which occurred in
San Salvador two days ago may prove
as disastrous as the great quake of
June, 1917, when 40 persons were killed

Reptiles, Lured From Holes by Son.
shine, Make No Attack on Two
Men Armed With Clubs.
EUGENE, Or.. April 30. (Special.)
Hundreds of people today were at
tracted to an exhibition in a local hard'
ware store window of the rattles of 53
rattlesnakes killed in one day by Archie
Washom and Elmer Brown, who live
near Harrisburg.
The men. who were out In the hills
on Amos Wilkins' stock ranch, north
of Coburg, Sunday, encountered a nest
of the reptiles. Armed with nothing
but stout clubs the men attacked. When
they had cleared the rocks of the
rattlers they counted the carcasses of
53. They cut off the rattles, some of
the snakes having as high as 15 each,
indicating that they were 15 years old.
The youngest killed had three rattles
each.
Mr. Washom said he has killed quite
a number of the snakes on the flats
below the hills this spring since the
warm weather began, lie was surprised
by the large number found. The snakes
had been attracted from their holes by
the warm sunshine and when Mr
Washom and Mr. Brown appeared the
reptiles were all stretched out on the
rocks sunning themselves. The men
wore heavy boots to protect their legs
and feet from he poisonous stings, but
tney say no spai&e came tuqid Bind
ing distance.
It is seldom that so many rattlesnakes
are seen at one time in the Willamette
valley, but they have always been nu
merous in the hills back of Coburg
and Harrisburg. Mr. Washom and Mr
Brown intend to take another snake
hunt at the same place this week.

Commanding Officers.
EL PASO. April 30. Six soldiers of
the 8th Untied States mounted engl
neers are under arrest at Camp New
ton Baker, Fort Bliss, charged with
sending a telegram direct to the adjutant-general
of the army asking that
the men in the regiment who enlisted
for the war be discharged and sent
home as soon as possible. On April 3 a
number of the engineering units held
meeting near the camp and decided
to- send the following telegram to the
adjutant-general direct, without con
sulting their superior officers:
'We emergency men of the 8th
mounted engineers. Camp Baker, Tex.,
consider the period 'of emergency is
over and that our further retention In
the army means an unnecessary sacri
fice on our part. We respectfully re
quest the adjutant-general that he im
mediately consider the advisability of
discharging us. (Signed)
EMERGENCY MEN, 8TH ENGI
NEERS." District officers said the only breach
of military law the men had commit
ted was in taking their applications
for discharge over the heads of their
commanding officers. They added that
the affair started over a misunder-
stnding of circular No. 77, issued some
time ago. stating that in extreme ne
cessity or cases of sickness men could
be discharged from the service. This,
the officer said, was interpreted to
mean that all men who had employment
could be discharged.
No further trouble Is anticipated, the
district officers said.
PARIS,' April 30. (By the Associated
Press.) The British delegation issued
today a series of commentaries on the
covenant of the league of nations, ex
pressing their definite views and
making some changes from the official
analysis issued Sunday. Regarding the
section dealing with the Monroe doc
trine the commentaries say:
"Article 21 makes it clear that the
covenant is not intended to abrogate
or weaken any other agreements, so
long as they are consistent with its
own terms, in which members of the
league may have entered or hereafter
jnay enter for the assurance of peace.
The Monroe doctrine and similar
understandings are put in the same
category. They have shown themselves
in history to be not Instruments of na
tional ambition but guarantees of
peace. The origin of the Monroe doc
trine is well known. ... At first
principle of American foreign policy it
lias become an international under
standing and it is not illegitimate for
the people of the United States to say
that the covenant should recognize that
lact.
"In Its essence It Is consistent with
the spirit of the covenant and, indeed.
trie principles or the league as ex
pressed in article ten represent the ex
tension to the whole world of the prin
ciples or this doctrine."

QUARTER OF LOAN RAISED
VICTORY LIBERTY CAMPAIGN
ONE-HALF OVER.
BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
(Copyright by the New- York Herald Com
pany. All rights reserved.)
MACEDONIA Amid the Macedonian
mixture and muddle one finds emerg
ing the great and dramatic fact that
this problem, which has vexed the
world for half a century, is a man-
made affair, and that the makers of
the misery are already being punished.
Certain designing forces have creat
ed the Balkan question, and chief
among these are three great rival
powers, Turkey. Austria and Russia."
All of these, with Germany more re
cently added to their number, have ex
ploited the Balkans for. their own im
perial ambitions. Their rivalries echoed
noisily amid these mountains. The
strife among the inhabitants is largely
Incited strife. It has long been part
of the European diplomatic game is
still, for that matter to spend money
in stirring up trouble in the Balkans.
More than one of the noisy "patriots"
is now discovered to have been a mere
hireling of one of the great powers.
The best known of the Albanian "lead
ers" is charged by Intelligent Albanians
and their American and European
friends with having sold out Albania
to four separate powers, and these ac
cusers even, quote the handsome sums
he received each time. He is now a
resident of Salonika; the vigorous at
mosphere of his native mountains
might prove fatal to him if he should
return.
Illiterate, hot tempered, brave, quick
to strike, these Balkan people have
easily been kept astir, and in mutual
antagonisms, by appeals to their reli
gion, race and traditions. They have
been too limited In their horizons to
perceive that master minds In four-
capitals were setting them at one an
other's throats.
Balkans' Enemies Powerless.
Because the Balkans are, as they
ever have been and ever will be. a
bridge country over which the paths
of world empire lie, they are essential
to the plans of every power that seeks
to expand in both Europe and Asia.
Therefore, since it has not always been
easy, owing to rivalries of the great
powers, to subjugate them by armed
invasion, they have been subject to
that form of intrigue and exploitation
which recks nothing of the welfare of
the human being most concerned. The
little people have been made the tool
of the great nations.
Now, behold the marvelous reversal.
The Balkan states are up and the
great powers are down. It seems as if
a Nemesis had pursued these huge
t r o u b 1 e-makers. For all-powerful
states whose names recently inspired
fear and each of whom expected to de
vour the Balkans are prostrate and
powerless, while .the little countries
are coming into new life and self -con
fidence and assurance. Is there an
avenging fate safeguarding these little
old groups that has laid low Russia,
Turkey, Austria and Germany?
Nemesis Overtakes Troublers.
These troublers will trouble the Bal
kans no more. 'The mighty have been
laid low. All the millions of dollars
spent In bribes and propaganda, all the
marchings of armies, all the massacres
and plundering, all have been in vain
How are the mighty fallen!" The
former terrors of the Balkan peninsula
are now helpless in the dust. So far
as they are concerned, the least of
these little peoples may go its own
way.
Two other continental powers, our
own allies, are now meddling In the
Balkans In rivalry with each other,
and each seeking Its own advantage by
the discredited methods of Intrigue, In
timidation and bribery. The league
of nations will shortly call them off.
and then there will be no troubier of
the Balkans.
Left to themselves under the protect
ing wing of civilization, with priest
and politician no longer the tools of
designing big nations, there is every
reason to believe that the simple folk
of the Balkans will be content to seek
a livelihood and happiness in good re
lations with their neighbors, who are
really similarly inclined. Now that the
sinister shadows of Russia, Turkey,
Austria and Germany have been dis
pelled from the Balkans, the sunshine
of peace will cause the land to bloom
again.

Subscriptions Total $1,130,697,000.
$2 75,0 0 0,000 Needed Dally
for Success.
WASHINGTON, April 30. The vic
tory liberty loan campaign was one-
half over tonight with only one-quar
ter of the total officially reported sub
scribed. Reports to the treasury up to
tonight showed subscriptions of
$1,130,697,000.
If the victory loan Is to be floated
successfully subscriptions of $375,000
000 must be gathered daily until the
campaign's end. May 10. At the close
of the ninth day of the fourth liberty
loan campaign, the time corresponding
to the present In the victory drive, the
nation had subscribed $1,991,556,000, or
$461,000,000 more than has been sub
scribed so far to the victory loan. The
percentage of $6,000,000,000 total of
the fourth loan subscribed was 26.52
per cent as compared with 25.12 per
cent of the current loan.
Because of the lagging Subscriptions
the United States Steamship Crane,

"The country is beginning to "match

you are not yet called upon to make
full speed ahead, I expect that this or
