night. In one of which a four-year-old
child was killed. Explosions and
volleys In the suburbs were so con
tinuous as to resemble the tumult of
a small battle.
The first ambush was near Mer

habitants eoueht their cellars, while
pedestrians were stampeded.
Three bombs hadibeen flung at a

Timber Blown Down Is Estimated
at $10,000,000 Farms Are
Stripped of Buildings.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 6. First
reports of a cyclonic storm whicn
swept Jefferson county on the west
slope of the Olympic mountains last
week, causing heavy property loss
and completely cutting off the dev
astated district from communication
with the outside world for more than
a week, reached here tonight.
The news was brought to Port
Townsend by Leroy Smith and C. B.
Brliten, farmers of Western Jeffer
son. They reported more than 100
families short of supplies, scores of
farms stripped of buildings and stock
100,000,000 feet of timber uprooted
and communication blocked by
broken telephone wires and tree
clogged roads. The timber loss was
roughly estimated at $10,000,000. So
far as was known there were no
casualties.
The storm began January 25 and
continued several days, the wind
reaching a velocity of 112 miles an
hour on January 29. A district 30 by 40
miles along the coast between the
Hoh and Bogachiel rivers was laid
waste. The swinging bridge spanning
the Bogachiel river was blown down,
but the Ftorm path .missed the oil
derricks and buildings in the town ot
Forks by a narrow margin.
Hundreds of Olympic elk, huddld
together in fear of the storm, were
killed by falling timber. A relief
expedition of men and pack 'horses
hauling donkey engines and other
equipment to blaze a trail through
the wrecked country is being organ
ized by Jefferson county officials.
Food and supplies will be taken to the
destitute families.

Adoption of Platform of "Con
structive Democracy" Is De
clared to Be Achievement.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb. 6. The
Mexican government "comes as near
to being a government of and for
working people as any on earth,"
Samuel Gompers declared in a state
ment tonight commenting on the Pan
American Federation of Labor con
vention at Mexico City.
The greatest achievement of th
Mexico City convention, Mr. Gompers
said, was the adoption of a platform
of "'constructive democracy and com
plete repudiation of all doctrine sub
versive of democracy and democratic
thought."
"While it was natural that the
character of the labor movements in
most Latin-American countries should
differ from that of our own," he said,
nothing could more properly coun
terbalance whatever trend there may
be toward European beliefs and tac
tics than the contact with American
labor." '
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 6. The rest
dence of the archbishop of Mexico, the
Most Rev. Jose Mora, was bombed
early today. , A bomb was also ex
ploded at the entrance of the building
occupied by Juergens & Co., American
manufacturers of jewelry.-. There
were no casualties. The bombings
were declared to have been attempts
at sabotage by radical labor elements.
The fronts of the buildings were
wrecked.
The archbishop, because of his stand
against radicalism and his activity In
organizing Catholic workmen to com
bat extremists, had received many
threats.
Juergens & Co. has had labor trou
ble for four months and in conse
quence the factory was closed down
for two weeks after refusal to accept
the workmen's demands, which in
eluded a 100 per cent wage increase.

Allies Believed to Expect
Counter Proposals.
EXPERTS ARE GATHERING
Industrial and Financial Leaders
to Consult With Govern
ment Economists.
BERLIN, Feb. 5. The premiers of
the federated states of Germany
were in session until late tonight
over reparations, the meeting being
followed by the announcement that
unanimity prevailed. The speech of
Foreign Minister Simons had received
unqualiffed Indorsement by the rep
resentatives of Bavaria, Baden,
Wuerttemburg, Saxony and the other
states, it was declared.
The invitation for Germany to send
representatives to the London confer
ence was construed as indicating
that the allies expect Germany to
submit counter proposals.
Leaders of German Industry and
finance have been arriving the last
few days for consultation with the
government economic experts.
Much of the press comment warns
the government against pinning its
faith on the new Washington govern
ment supplying Germany with moral
backing. These commentators urge
the government to present Germany's
case strictly on Its own merits.
The French ambassador, M. Lau
rent, called on Dr. Simons, foreign
minister, last night and orally in
vited Germany to send accredited del
egates to the London conference
March 1,
Dr. Simons said he would submit
the invitation to the cabinet.

terms are unacceptable. This report

NAVAL PARLEY ON PACIFIC
Australian Admiral About to Go
(o Singapore.
SYDNEY, Australia. Feb. S. The
Times today announced that the Aus-
ralian warship Brisbane is about to
take Admiral Grant of the naval ad
ministration to Singapore to take
part in a conference for a discussion
of the naval defense of the Pacific.
' OTTAWA, Ont., Feb. 6. No official
word has been received by the depart
ment of naval service of any confer
ence at Singapore on the naval de
fense of the Pacific. No senior naval
officer of the Canadian navy, it was
said, had been appointed to attend
such conference.
Controversy About Superiority of
Capital Ships and Planes
to Be Settled.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6. The con
troversy as to the superiority of bac
tlesh'ps or aircraft may he settled
through tests, said naval officers ti-day.
Brigadier-General William Mitchell,
assistant chief of the air servi;.
v.-ho told a congressional committee
that developments in air craft h id
doomed the dreadnought, and other
service officers are understood to
have Issued a vlrtuwl challenge to
the navy department to permit theT.
to prove their contentions. The navy
department is a believer fh the su
periority of the capital ship, and
naval officers believe, will accept th )
challenge in the hope of checking the
controversy.
General Mitchell has asked his s i
periors to send a request to Secre
tary Daniels that two torpedo boats
two supply vessels and one battle
ship be designed for the tests. Naval
officers believe such a request woulJ
be refused because of the material
involved and the cost of fitting thj
five vessels with radio-control ap
paratus.
There Is a strong likelihood, how
ever, naval officers said, that the ol.l
battleship Iowa, fitted with radio
control gear and capable of bei-i
maneuvered with no one on board
will be used as a target for aerial
bombs after experiments now being
conducted on the control device arj
completed.
Another suggestion is that largo
lighters be towed at high speed and
used as targets. Many officers be
lieve no test of the ability of the avi
ators to hit naval vessels would be
conclusive unless the target were
moving at least 20 knots an hour.
It was generally conceded, however,
that such experiments as General
Mitchell has proposed would give an
idea of the ability of the aviators ac
tually to hit a moving vessel.
Army aviators maintain that any
surface vessel can be destroyed by
airplane attack, citing the tests on
the battleship Indiana with dummy
bombs as proof. Navy officers assert
it was one thing to hit a battleship
anchored and another thing to hit the
same ship moving.
