HOOD IS SEEN BY SALEM TWO PEARS, OXE ABOVE OTHER, LOOM AFTER SEW TEAR'S. Chief Justice Moore Says It Is First Mirage Sighted by Him In Oregon Odd View Lasting. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 2. (Special. Mount Hood played a dual role this afternoon for the first time In Its his tory o far as Salem folk know. From this city there appeared two distinct mountains, one on top of the other, with a distinct dividing space. Frank Moore, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, described the phenomenon as mirage, and said although he bad lived in Oregon many years it was the first one he had witnessed In this state. The phantom mountain was an exact counterpart of the real one when first witnessed about 2:30 o'clock. Its shape changed a trifle half an hour later, but until 4 o'clock there appeared two mountains as near alike as ordinary twins. "I have often witnessed mirages on the Atlantic Coast," said Judge Moore, but this is the first one I have seen in Oregon, and undoubtedly tne nrsi time Mount Hood has so appeared since came to this state. Sometimes lrages are In an inverted position of the real object, but it Is not the case in this Instance, and I am glad to know that the duplicate of the famous moun tain was not topsy-turvy." . According to the dictionaries mirages are "optical effects sometimes seen on the ocean, but more frequently on deserts, due to total reflection of light at the surface common to two strata of air differently heated. The reflected image is seen commonly In an inverted position, while the real object may or may not be in sight. DUEL M0RAT0RUM IS ON Frenchman Shall "ot Slay Country man While War Is In Progress.

RULER'S HOURS - LONGEST Order Restored Where Retreating Enemy Left Chaps, and Damage Repaired "Within Sound of French Artillery. BY JAMES O'DONXELI BENNETT. (War correspondent of the Chicago Trib une. Published by arrangement with the Tribune.) GREAT HEADQUARTERS OF THE GERMAN ARMIES, Iec 10. They have a saying In Germany that the location of great headquarters, where the Em peror spends much of his time, is "everybody's secret. Few "secrets" of that nature have ever been so little discussed. An officer home on furlough may tell his wife the name of the town where general headquarters is and she may tell her best friend. The rich mer chant or the leading manufacturer in many a provincial city knows the name of that town and may let It slip out in conversation, but if he does nobody at the table Is supposed to notice the slip. Many American Consuls and members of their staffs could name the town for you, but they don't not even men tioning it In their reports to the State Department Question Remalnn I 'a sited. When I left great headquarters a few days ago to spend an evening In an other, city official American in that city said: - I'.know where you have been. How goes everything there "With . The utmost precision I re plied, i 'I think' I know the namo of the place,' said the American, adding, "but I am not going to ask. you.- That Is one of the things that Is not done.-' Nor does anybody ask. A German Consular attache was most eager to know the name of the town. not because it woulctdo him any good, but from a natural curiosity. He made some veiled guesses which were all wrong, tut he would not ask the ques tion point blank. A moment later he apologized for even making the guesses. Since the outbreak of the war great headquarters has moved twice. At first It was in Coblentz and the Em peror lived in the old episcopal palace which was built for the soldier-archbishop of Clemens Wenceslaus in the last quarter of the 18th century and which was occupied 60 years ago by the Emperor's grandfather when he was Prince of Prussia and Military Governor of the Rhine province. It was likewise a favorite residence of the Grand Empress Augusta, the Em peror's grandmother, who had a great affection for the beautifai City of Cob lentz. After Coblentz great headquarters moved on into the grand duchy of Lux embourg. French Town Shelters Enemy Now.

GERMANS ACCUSED OF PASSPORT FRAUD Four Arrested on Liner Y at New York. OFFICER IS OUT ON PAROLE Others, Including Prominent Citizen, Are Involved. , CASE OF LODY IN MIND State Department Save Action Is Inspired by Desire to Protect Americans Whose Papers Aro Perfectly Good. . NEW YORK, Jan. 2. An alleged con spiracy to furnish German army off! cers and reserviBts with American pass ports fraudulently obtained, to enable them to return to Germany from this country without danger of molestation by French or English authorities, was brought to light today by the Depart ment of Justice. The disclosure came with the arrest late today of Carl Ruroede, a former agent for the Norllh German Lloyd steamship line, and with the removal from the outward-bound steamer Ber- gensfjord of a German army officer and three German reservists. All of them were charged with conspiracy to de fraud the United States Government through tho use of American passports. Soldiers Taken From Vewel. The four soldiers were taken off the steamer, which was bound for Bergen, Norway, Just as she was passing quar antine, and brought back to New York on a revenue cutter. AH four bore photographic passports, ' issued by the State Department to Americans and alleged to have been furnished them by Ruroede. Other arrests are pected in the. near future, on of prominent German-American in . this city. , .- - - Ruroede said ton:ghtt according to agents of the Department of Justice who questioned him, that whatever he had done had been done on his own initiative and was inspired by patriotic motives. He was held in $20,000 bail, which he was unable to furnish tonight. With him were arrested John Aucher, his alleged associate, who was also held in $20,000 ball, and Ruroede's 17-year-old son, who was released on his own recognizance. Lieutenant Is Paroled. Tho German army officer, Lieutenant Arthur Wilhelm Zacbse, was paroled on his honor "as an officer and a gen tleman", not to leave New York City during the pendency of the present pro. ceedings. The three reservists, Walter Muller, August Meyer and Herman Wegner, who recently came here from Chile, were held in S5000 bail each. There were detained also, under 1500 bail each, four others as material wit nesses, two with American and two with German names. The arrests were the culmination, it was said at the Department of Justice here tonight, of an investigation which has been in progress ever since tne ar rest in England of Carl Lody, who was subsequently executed in the Tower of London as a German spy. Lody had a passport issued to an American, and it became known to tne Department of Justice that other American passports also were in the hands of German citi zens. Peril to Americans Feared. This discovery was of great concern to the State Department, as it was feared that Americans holding perfectly good passports would be open to sus picion and possible peril of their lives (Concluded on Paso 7-) Saturdays War Moves ANOTHER BO men from the battle ship Formidable, lost in the English Channel on ' Friday, have reached ' safety, after riding out a fierce gale for upwards of 20 hours an open cutter, making a total of 201 survivors out of a crew of 780. The latest survivors landed at Lyme Regis, on the Dorset coast, late Fri day night All were in a state of ex haustion after their experience. They declare that there, is little hope of any further survivors, as the tremen dous sea which was running at th time, would in.uk e it impossible for me to live lung enough to be picked by passing vus-hkIm. while manyofthos clinging to the wreckage undoubtedly were killed when the second, ex plosion occurred. The Admiralty has not Issued any statement inreference to the cause of the disaster or where it occurred. The land fighting, which is sporadic, in the West, but more continual in th East, has brought about no material change in the situation. The artillery ie playing the biggest part along th Western front, although at points there has been close range righting in which a few yards have been gained or lost . The Germans deny the French report that they have been driven out of part of the village of Stelnbacn, Uppe Alsace, which has been the sceno of sanguinary fighting for a week, the infantry finding cover behind th houses. There have been engagements on th Rivera Bzura and Rawka, in Poland, but seemingly the Germans are no nearer Warsaw than they were week ago. They have . begun often sive operations in the direction of Kielce. one of the largest towns of Southern Poland, which doubtless has for its object the holding up of th Russian advance through Galicia on Cracow. Another attempt on the part of the Germans to advance from Mlawa to divert the Russian threat to outflank their center by crossing the lower Vis tula, northwest of Warsaw, has been checked by the Russians. According to Petrograd reports, the Russians continue to sweep the Aus- trians westward along the Southern Galiclan Railway toward Grybow and Neusandec and out of the northern foot hills of the Carpathians. The Musco vites also are credited with having organized a new campaign against Hun gary, advancing In four columns along the mountains. This, it is said, will not be like previous raids, but will be a regular invasion. Further east the Russians are march ins across Bukowina, not far north of the Roumanian frontier, toward Tran sylvania.' It Is considered likely Rou manlan action Will be hastened by this step. On the Caucasian front where Field Marshal Von Der Goltz is to take com mand, the Turks have assumed the of fensive and crossed the Russian fron tier at three points. Heavy fighting is now reported to be in progress. , I By request of King George today will be observed as a day of Intercession, and special prayers for the success of the allies' arms will be offered in every church and every chapel of all creeds and religions in the kingdom. In an Orange book issued at the in stance of the Russian Minister for For. elgn Affairs at Petrograd, it Is charged that the Independence of the Ottoman empire "vanished definitely from the moment that the German cruisers Goe ben and Breslau took refuge In the Dardanelles," and that the German ships under German command made "an at tack on the peaceful shores of an em pire which was maintaining perfect neighborly relations with the Turks."
