Re- TRIBUTE PAID TO ENEMY Vomeu Xot Generally Successful in Secret Service in War Time, Declares Writer. LONDON, March 11. (Special.) A book by Captain Ferdinand Tuohy, an American, who served In the Intelli gence department of the British army, la the principal topic of discussion in London at the moment. Captain Tuohy tells some amazing stories of the secret service work or me allien armies, and reveals many remarkable happenings connected with the under ground warfare against the Germans. Perhaps the most remarkable state ment In Captain Tunhy's book illus- tratint- the great darinp of secreA 'ervice men Is the fact that a colonel In' the German army, a member or the staff of Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, was actually a British officer and a member of the British secret service. He was for two years a trusted member of Crown Prince Kuppreeht's official family, saw all the Gei-man plans and knew all their secrets, and, when opportunity of fered, passed them along to the allied army. After the armistice this of ficer changed his uniform and was revealed toXhe Germans in bis actual colors. Germans Also Efficient. Captain Tuohy has a very poor that this marvelous exploit of the British secret service might well have been paralleled in the allied armies, and that the Germans might have been equally as shrewd, and among the staff officers of the allies there mirht have been German spies. At anv rate, the German system of espionage on the allied side was ex tremely efficient, and some highly placed officers on the allied side might have been, German secret eerv lce agents. Captain Tuohay has a very poor opinion of the German civilian spies, who, he said, obtained little informa tion of any use from England, al though there must have been hun dreds of them there. A few German civilian spies in England did some remarkable work, but the bulk of them were easily rounded up by the British. The German military spies, however, were wonderful. They per meated the allied army and turned in some wonderful stunts. Toward the last of tne war the allies succeeded In coping with a good many of the German military spies, but for a long time the German espionage system In the allied armies was almost perfect Not a thing apparently escaped their observation. A remarkable feature of the book Is the showing of the apparent ease with which the allied secret service obtained news from Germany and the number of agents they had at largo within the German empire. Women Spies failure. Captain Tuohy is a bit scornful of women spies. "Women are not to be compared with men," he says, "for the real grueling work. A woman lacks patience, method, concentration without ready results. She lacks also the technical and studious mind and the quality of working out of the limelight. She is Indiscreet and, more Important, her heart may prove ntronger than her bead, and with dis astrous results." Captain Tuohy tells of a young Knglishman who w-as a confidential clerk in the foreign office in London. His eagerness to be assigned to the British legation In Switzerland aroused some suspicion of him. and his private life was looked up. It was found that be was living at a rate far beyond his means, but no evidence of wrongdoing could be discovered. In order to trap him he was given the position in Switzerland, but watched closely. Soon it was discovered he was in communication with the Ger man secret service. He was, however, retained in his position, but Information which passed through his hands was care fully faked and doctored beforehand, o that what he passed on to the Germans would help rather than In jure the allied cause. will receive the 40.000 Mackinaw trout I fry recently assigned this county by inn nmia iisn uitniniiBaiuiher, iiicujucis of the Grays Harbor Rod and Gun club said last night.

JUDGE QUALIFIES REMARK Hood River Newspapers Absolved From Prejudicing Cases. HOOD RIVER, Or.. March 11 (Spe cial.) In the course of selecting a Jury for a case here the other day, prospective jurors were asked if they had been Influenced by anything they had seen ir the newspapers; Judge Wilson interposing a remark that newspapers sometimes tried cases and reached a verdict before the cases were tried. When court opened yesterday Judge Wilson took occasion to call attent on to his remark and to explain that he had no intention of including local newspapers in the charge.

Or' March 11 (Special.) In the vicinity of Bandon, a few miles north, a number of min ers are searching the black sands for trold and platinum and with fair sue cess. More men are engaged in this winter pursuit than had been noted in many years past, owing. It is De lieved. to the fact so many are with out other occupation. Reports from the Whisky Run district indicated about a dozen men are making good wages there, and down near Cape Blanco. In Curry county, better re turns were reported. The new wool season may be said to be open now, as shearing began In the Yakima valley this week. Several plants are running and operations will extend from now on. Shearing will start in East ern Washington on April 1 and will begin In Eastern Oregon about the same date. In former seasons the start of shearing also meant the beginning of buying, but there are no buyers In the field now. There Is a little business doing with local mills, which are operating with about one-half of their day forces, but there are no indications of a general de mand for wool In the near future, either of the old or new dtp. In the east the chief event seems to be the heavy imports of foreign wool. American buyers are not operating abroad now, but they bought extensively a few weeks ago, anticipating the enactment of the emergency tariff law, and the wools then purchased are now coming In. Many thousands of bales of wool reached Bos ton during the final hours of the Wilson administration, the ships being rushed to port and the work of unloading hurried to get the fiber through in case the bill was signed. The Wallula, from La Plata and Montevideo, came In with 5000 bales and the Australbrook, from Australian and New Zealand ports, brought more than 10,000 bales. A shipment of 2000 bales brought by the Vedlc from Liverpool and Intended for New York was dicharged at Boston In anticipation of the possible sign ing of the measure. The largest cargo, 10,653 bales, was brought on the Andrew Jackson from Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Banal. The Westerner, also from South America, carried 7160 bales. Con signments from Europe Included 4337 bales on the Mahopac, from London; 3976 bales on the Galtymore, from Glasgow, and 587 bales on the Rexmore, from Liverpool. Commenting on the import situation, the Boston correspondent of the New Tork News Record says: "A tariff on wool Is expected now In the usual course of events under republican rule, but it Is almost im possible for it to become effective at least before June 1, according to local opinion, which will give ample time to bring la many more millions of pounds before the tariff goes on." A statement Issued by the Illinois Agrt cultural association says: 'Since the first of the year approxi mately 15 per cent of all the farm bureau pooled wools has been moved at conserva tive values. Importation of foreign wools has been a bearish factor and has pre vented any great activity in domestic wools. However, 6,000.000 pounds have been sold from Ohio, Michigan, North Da kota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Indiana and Kansas farm bureau pools. 'The prices average about 40 per cent of last year's values for the various grades, For quarter-blood this means that the price per pound ranges from 20 to 28 cents; for. three-eighths-blood from 26 to SO cents; for fine staple from 83 to 40 cents, and for low quarter from 20 to 23 cents. Farmers should understand that this price was based fundamentally upon the figure at which the same grade of foreign wool could be placed In the Boston market C. J. Fawcett, who has charge of the wool pool work of the American Farm Bureau federation, department of co-operative marketing, states that so long as the wool grower has no protection in the way of tariff, and so long as foreign exchange Is demoralized, the clip from abroad will continue to set the price." zatfons In each state Interested in the co operative marketing of grain, together with all the grain growers of the state, have been invited to attend the conferences. Representatives of the committee of 17 will be present at each meeting to explain the plan hi detail. The conference for Oregon, Washington and Idaho will be held at Spokane on March 24.

Dun's tomorrow will say: "With the advancing season there Is some stimulation of activities in certain directions and an early opening of spring trade is foreshadowed. Favorable weather and the near approach of Easter are help ful to retail distribution in different sec tions and offerings of new merchandise are meeting with a readier sale than bad been expected. The reported paucity of supplies in some textile branches also gives mod erate impetus to buying and a measuro of support of prices after a protracted period of yielding. "The situation 1b still marked by unsat isfactory features, especially in Industrial channels, and revised estimates of the gen eral purchasing power are necessitated by the frequent wage reductions and restricted manufacturing oprations.

Sharp setbacks In the price of wheat resulted today mainly from disturbed Industrial conditions. The market closed nervous, 3 to 41 cents net lower, with March t.62A to S1.62M and May 11.63H, to 11.53. Corn lost o to 1H cents and oats lVslfcc to 1 cents and provisions 17 to 45 cents. Bears in the wheat pit had things all their own way right from the start. At tention of traders focused almost alto gether on proposed wage cuts and on dan ger of widespread strikes. As a conse quence buying lower shrunk and selling pressure Increased until values had been slashed in some cases nearly 5 cents a bushel. Then the fact became evident that export Interests were taking advan tage of the downturn. According to some estimates, 1,000,000 bushels were taken for Europe. Knowledge of this activity on the part of foreigners checked the breaks, but led to no important reaction. Much liqul datlon was wild, and there was heavy sett ing In particular by a houpe that appeared to be closing spreads with Winnipeg. Of ficial figures on total wheat stocks In the United States were construed as bearish Corn and oats declined with wheat, not withstanding export buying of corn to the extent of nearly 300.000 bushels. Provisions were weak, reflecting the ac tion of grain and hogs. The Chicago market letter received yes terday by the Overbeck & Cooke company of Portland said: "Wheat The trade was broad and liqui dation of a general character carried prices off more than 4 cents a bushel from the previous close. Reports of good- sized export sales had but little Influence on the market. Since the publication of the government figures the statistical sit uation must now be analyzed from an entirely different angle than that upon which calculations were based a few months ago. There is a total supply in all positions of only 18,000,000 bushels less than last year at this time. The carry over from the 1919 crop was 150,000.000 bushels and It Is, therefore, reasonable to figure that this years July 1 carry-over will be but 18,000,000 bushels less than last year, or approximately 130,000,000 bushels. This is abnurmaily large and as the pres ent level of prices, as compared with other commodities, represents scarcity possibili ties, the supply and demand outlook can be viewed as conducive to a downward readjustment of prices. "Corn Showed only moderate resistance to selling pressure and declined sharply with wheat. Reports of additional extort sales were completely Ignored. Cash prices were l2c lower with futures, while out side markets reported cash depressed and meeting a very poor demand. "Oats Influential selling by laadlng ele vator interests found buying power in adequate and prices receded rapidly. The earth market was also weak with prices lc lower. The continued absence of a shipping demand militates against con structive endeavors, despite the disinclina tion to sell on the part of the country. "Rye Trade moderate and market off sharply in sympathy with wheat. Buying support was conspicuous by Its absence and confined almont entirely to covering of short contracts. Cash rye dull and weak.
