S
trative bodies," continued Mr. Lewis.
"However, tlie Oregon courts have re
cently upheld four decisions of the
btate Board, and It is pretty well
proved that the fear was groundless.
It was because of that fear, in my opin
ion, that several efforts to provide a
board in Washington failed, but there
is reason to believe such a law will be
passed at the next session of the Leg
islature. With Washington and one or
two more states adopting this up-to-date
method I believe Congress can be
induced to provide the interstate com
mission which will be necessary to ob
tain the best results. The state and
Federal water commissions would op
erate exactly as do the state and In
terstate Railroad Commissions, now."
Mr. Lewis was notified today by
George C. Pardee, ex Governor of Cali
fornia and head of the California Con
servation Commission, that the measure
creating . the water board there had
been approved by a large vote.

LEAD TO DEATH.
THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND. NOVEMBER 15, 1914.
N1EUP0R
IN RUINS
FURXES. Belgium. Nov. 12, via Lon
don. Nov. 14. Nieuport fell into the
bands of the Germans at 3 o clocK this
(Thursday) afternoon, according to a
port brought by a wireless operator
who was the last Belgian to leave the
town. Ha savs that after three bom
bardments only three buildings are left
standing in the place. In their effort
to retake the town the French bat
tered the Germans mercilessly with
hpavv artillery.
The allies cannot advance north of
Nieuport. because for miles around the
mouth of the Yser the country is a
swamp. It was impossible to reach
JPervyse, owing to the stench from the
bodies of the slain, which have re
mained unburled for many days whers
they fell. There are so few men avail
able for the work of burying the Bel
gians and German dead that these are
bow being burned in large fires.
Sanguinary KlEhtlnB Continuous.
Fighting of the most sanguinary na
ture is going on almost continually
.long the line of Nieuport, Dixmude,
Merekem and Ypres. If what seems to
be reliable information may be credited,
the Germans hold both Nieuport and
Dixmude at a cost of ceaseless vigil
ance and a lengthening roll of killed
and wounded.
Meanwhile one discerns no weaken
ing in the line of the allies. Reinforce
ments are coming forward regularly
and marching to battle with amazing
cheerfulness. Now and again the
French, the British or the Belgians are
accepting the challenge of the enemy
and striking out desperately against
them. When they do attack the Ger
man aggressors the latter seem almost
Invariably to yield.
Your correspondent had unprecedented
difficulty in j-eaching Fumes after all
the correspondents there had been
turned back with heretofore unmatched
everity. A regiment of Belgium
chasseurs had just arrived from the
fighting line. Their commanding officer
addressed the men, deploring their
hardships and losses.
Belgians Have But One Thought.
"We who like to keep our strength,
said he, "have but one thought. That
Is to oppose the invaders until wlth
the aid of our powerful allies we drive
mm beaten from our land."
The weary, muddy, haggard, hairy
hungry remnant of the regiment broke
Into a short, sharp cheer, then a band
of music formed up and playing a lively
march led the chasseurs off to their
bivouac. Before they had gone far
the roar of German artillery to the
north drowned all other sounds.
jowara wieuport ana Ulimude an
artillery duel was raging intermit
tently day and night. The bombard
nient of Ypres by the Germans could
hardly have exceeded the violence of
their bombardment of Dixmude. Indeed,
the whole line was the scene of the
most stubborn fighting, with Infantry
cnarging ana counter-charging.
The line of the Yser River has seen
within the last ten days the most ter
rible encounters with the bayonet of
the entire war. Frequently, the dead
have been too numerous for burial.
u nen tne armies, oy mutual agree
ment, have desisted from fighting.
wnne tne bodies of the slain were col
lected and buried.
The arrangements everywhere in
dicate that the allies are methodically
preparing for a . war of Indefinite
length. . .
Long; Beach Church Member Wrlte

tlm of Situation.
LOS . ANGELES, Nov. N 14. John E.
Lamb, a wealthy Long Beach church
member named in disclosures concern
ing the orgies of an alleged organisa
tion of Long Beach men, ' committed
suicide-today on the wind-swept cliffs
on Point Flrmin, overlooking the sea.
I am crazed by reading what was
said today- in the papers." Lamb wrote
in a note to his sister, which was found
beside his body. "I am innocent, but
the victim of a situation."
Lamb, who was among several men
who paid fines aggregating more than
$5000. went to Point Firmln early to
day and took poison.
Thirty men in all were arrested.
Several are now serving jail sen
tences. Herbert N. Lowe, who was
said to have confessed, but who pleaded
not guilty, will face a jury Monday in
a Long Beach police court.
Several of the men arrested in con
nection with the alleged orgies of the
society are wealthy.

of six months' credit, accomnnnind hv
the placing of a fore'gn loan in the

a loan -which is being contemplated by
the Russian government.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14. It was said In

steps had been taken in regard to a
Knssian loan. It has been reported
from time to time since the intimation
from Washington that the embargo
against loans o belligerents had been
removed, that funds migh. be advanced
to Russia, but so far as could be as

With the adoption by the electorate of

that an effort would be made within
