3 TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIATC, PORTLAND, MAY 2, 1915. SEA TRAVEL RISKY, IS GERMAN WARNING Embassy Publishes Notice to Americans in Important Eastern Cities. BERLIN ORDERS REMINDER Sailings From Xew York Xeverlhe less Are Heaviest of Season ana Cancellations Show Xo Marked Increase. WASHINGTON, May 1. In an offi cial notice published by the German Embassy in many important cities of the eastern part of the United States today, Americans were warned anew that the travel on ships flying the Hags of Germany's enemies was at their own risk. "While the notice was regarded among: officials and diplomatists here as nothing more than a reiteration of Germany's first warning given when the war zone about the British Isles was announced, there was much in terest in whether it foreshadowed in creased activity of German subma rines or possibly had to do with move ments of the German fleet, which has been variously reported of late as cruising in the North Sea. Count Bernstorff, the German Am bassador, was away today but offi cials at the Embassy said bo far as hey knew the published notice was intended merely to remind neutral travelers of their danger and did not indicate new naval operations. Embassy officials In explaining the publication emphasized that it was ln 'tended as a warning to travelers and that the Embassy had acted in ac cordance with its general instructions from the Berlin Foreign Office. TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL HEAVY Last-Minute Cancellations Few, De spite Ambassador's Warning. NEW YORK, May 1. The largest number of transatlantic travelers to leave New York in a single day this Spring had booked passage on six big liners leaving port today. The Lusi tania alone had aboard 1310 passengers when she sailed, 900 being cabin pas sengers. Apparently the notice, published in New York papers today over the signa ture of the Imperial German Embassy, reminding passengers that vessels flying the flags of the allies are liable to destruction In the war zone around the British Isles had no effect on the traveling public. There were the usual number of last-minute cancellations, but no more than customary, it was said at the various steamship offices. In the absence -of authentic figures, it was estimated that more than 3000 persons had reserved sailings today. A number of passengers received telegrams at the pier, signed by names unknown to them and presumed to be fictitious, advising them not to sail, as the liner was to be .torpedoed by sub marines. Among the persons who re ceived such a telegram was Alfred G. Vanderbilt. lie destroyed the message without comment. Charles P. Sumner, general agent of the Cunard line, said that the Lusl lania's voyage was attended by no risk whatever as the liner has a speed of 25i knots and was provided with unusual water-tight bulkheads. The steamer Cameronia, due to sail for Glasgow, received cable orders an hour before sailing- time to remain in New York. The message said the liner had been taken over by the British government, presumably for the trans portation of Canadian troops to England Accordingly the Cameronia's passengers were ordered from the ship and placed aboard the Laisitania. Both tho British and French Em bassies called the State Department's ttenion to the German publicaion, making reference to its possible effect upon travel and subsequent results to the steamship companies and brought up also the question of the German Embassy addressing itself directly to the public instead of through the State Department.

The vessel made a brief call at Uma tilla today, but did not wait long enough for the passengers to go ashore. A delegation of citizens waa at the landing, however, and reported that Umatilla is going to have a big celebra tion next week in honor of the canal opening. Despite a slight rain the entire party was out on deck when the Undine passed over the Umatilla rapids. Cap tain Gray himself took a hand at the wheel on some of the most dangerous points, relieving Captain Thomas, who has been guiding the vessel most of the way. Fine Country Viewed. The skies cleared tonight and as the vessel entered the flat country above Wallula Gap a wide expanse of rich agricultural territory was disclosed to view. All this country is made di rectly tributary to Portland by the opening of the Celilo Canal. The Undine remained tonight at Pasco but will leave early in the morn ing on her final dash toward the head of navigation. If all goes well she will reach Almota tomorrow night after a brief call at Riparla. Then she will have only a short leg before her to complete her journey to Lewiston, which should be reached easily by Mon day morning. n FINISH GLEAN-UP FEDERATED WOMAN'S CLIB OFFI CIAL REPORTS Sl'CCESS. ever since. Joe was firemen of the steamer "Webfoot, built on the Upper 'olumbia, back in tho '70s some time. The purpose of the owners of tho Web foot was to collect the driftwood nround Tho Dalles and Celilo rapids, load it on board and deliver it to points farther up the river where fuel was scarce. Cargo All Iscd on Trip. Well, Joe and the rest of the crew loaded the ship way up over the pro verbial guards, as has been said; Joe was the fireman; he fired and fired, and by the time he reached the mouth of the Snake Joe had burned all the fuel intended for the Webfoot Itself, as well as tho cargo. They had to buy 12 cords of wood to take her home. Joim Montag, United SStates Marshal at Portland, is in a class all by himself when It conies to animal stories, fciome of tho boys call him a nature fnker. Today he related the incident of tho engineers and the magpie. The engi neers were locating the line, of the Northern Pacific; they were constant ly annoyed by the loss of tablespoons; soon they noticed that a mischievous magpie waa stealing them fror-i their table and lining her nest with them. They rescued the spoons. The next clay, out of a spirit of revenge, the bird entered their tent, flew upon their drawing table, drew the stopper out of their ink bottle, spilled the ink over the table, stepped into it and the walked over their drawings with her inky feet. AVom m n Gets Honorable llrnl ion So far as historical stories ae con cerned, Mrs. Lulu Crandall has earned a good reputation with her account of the trip of the first steamer up the Columbia in 1S59. Then there Is "Tige" Reynolds, who Is full of Indian anecdotes but his memory does not go back as far as some of the others. Captain E. W. Spencer. Captain Olin Hosford and Captain L. P. Hosford were on the job all afternoon pointing out places of historical interest along the route. "The Three Sister" rocks drew a lot oi attention, out one or the Sisters has eloped, since they were first discovered. When It comes to old-timers the Undine's logbook proudly proclaims among her passengers and crew the names of many men who have been in the river service since the pioneer days of navigation on the Columbia. Roster Shown Many Pioneers. Some of the old-timers, with their earliest dates of service are as follows: Captain 1. P. Hosford, 1890; Captain Chris. Minsinger. 1880; Captain J. L. "Header, 1S70; Engineer J. R. Whalen, Letters From Various Parts of State Indicate Enthusiasm and Work Accomplished. HOOD RIVER, Or., May 1. (Special.) Mrs. C. H. Castner, chairman of the civic committee of the Oregon State Federation of Woman's Clubs, has re ceived letters from officers of woman's clubs in all parts of the state, indicat ing that many already have observed "Clean-up" weeks or days as a result of f Governor Withycombe's proclama tion. From more than a score of towns and cities, where there are no woman's clubs, I have had correspond ence from secretaries of commercial bodies, all of whom declare that they will co-operate. "In fact most communities already nave done much toward making their homes and places of business spick and span for the inspection of the many visitors we will have this year," says Mrs. Castiier. "There is no ap parent need of a general statewide housecleaning except for the purpose of instilling into the citizens the spirit that such an occasion arouses. "The State Federation of Woman's Clubs appreciates the interest the Port land Chamber of Commerce and other uch organizations have taken in boosting 'Clean-up' week." Mrs. George Zimmerman,, of Free- mont, O., chairman of the civic com mittee of the National Federation of Woman; Clubs, will visit Portland for the National convention in June. RIGHT IS NOT DISPUTED GERMAN SAYS PROTEST IS OXL.Y AUAIXST INEQUALITY. Country Concedes That Lnlted States . May Ship Arms) But Holds That Food, Too, Should Be Free. PHILADELPHIA. May 1. Dr. Bern- hard Dernburg, former colonial secre tary of Germany, protested at today's session of the annual meeting of the American Academy of Political and So cial Science, against a declaration at last night's meeting of the Academy that Germany had declared against the right -of the United States to sell and distribute arms to belligerent countries. Dr. Dernburg came here as a listener to the discussions on the effect of the European war on America's interests and at the close of today's session made a brief epeech in which he said the declaration made last night was "ab solutely false." The address in which the statement is said to have been made was delivered by Charles Noble Gregory, of Washington, D. C, who spoke on "The Sale of Munitions of War by Neutrals to Belligerents." Dr. Dernburg explained that Germany had only complained of the inequality of the treatment that his country is re ceiving in that foodstuffs are shut out of Germany, whereas mere is & tree transit of arms to Great Britain. ITCHY SALT RHEUM Sometimes Called Kcsema Removed by Hood's Saraaparilla. WAGE VIEWS GIVEN Mr. Kruttschnitt Amplifies An swer to Federal Board. CANADIAN PLAN IS LAUDED Head of Southern Pacific System Suggests Compulsory . Investiga tion of Disputes by Commis sion Allied AVith Hate Body. SAN FRANCISCO, May 1. William Sproule. president of the Southern Pa cific Company,, yesterday made public the contents of a letter written to Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the TTnitf? fltai.. . ' . I : . , - - - -" uiiiinioaiun i 1 1 inaustriai Relations, by Julius Kruttschnitt, chair- ' i"w executive committee of the company, in which Mr. Kruttschnitt ex plains end amplifies his answer to the question as to what could be done to settle labor disputes and maintain in dustrial peace in the future. Mr. Kruttschnitt suggests that the usefulness of. the Newlands act, provid lng mediation, arbitration and concilia tion in controversies between certain employers and employes, could be greatly increased if it were made to apply to all railway employes engaged In interstate commerce, instead of em ployes engaged In train service or op eration only, and, furthermore, that the board of mediation and conciliation should be co-ordinated with or subor dinated to the Interstate Commerce Commission, so that the same authority responsible for increasing expenses of the carriers should at the same time incur a correspondinr responsibility for providing revenue to meet the expendi tures. He cites the Canadian industrial disputes investigation act, which has worked well because It makes an ap peal to a mediation board compulsory and enjoins strikes and walkouts until the board can investigate the facts. Mr. Kruttschnitt says in part: "One of the questions asked me waa what could be done to settle lat-or disputes and maintain industrial peace In tb future. "The Newlands act provides that when a controversy arises either party may apply to the board of mediation and conciliation for its adjustment, and the board may offer its services to the parties in controversy where interrup tion to publio service is Imminent. There is no obligation, however, oth er than a sense of obligation to the public, on either employer or employe to submit differences to mediation. In stances have occurred where mediation and arbitration .have been stubbornly refused, with utter disregard of the public's interest and rights, and the act offers no remedy. This defect could apparently be remedied, as is done in the Canadian Industrial disputes inves tigation act of 1907. which makes a combination, lockout, or strike illegal until the questions at issue shall have been thoroughly investigated and made public; and there should be. a provision that where the ! a-l offers its serv ices for investigation, mediation and conciliation, it shall be obligatory on and not optional to the parties to sub mit their differences, so that the public may judge the dispute intelligently. EARLY , SETTLER IS DEAD Man 30 Years Resident of Fruitland Succumbs at Colvllle. COLVILLE, Wash., May 1. (Special.) Kane Landry, for nearly 30 years a resident of Fruitland, in this county, died Thursday morning at the county hospital where he had been for sev eral months. He was unmarried and had no relatives on the Pacific slope. A-letter from a brother at Rochester, N. Y., in 1882 was the last word he re ceived from any relatives. Mr. Landry was born at Arcadia, Quebec, Canada, December 5, 1827. His parents were early French settlers in Canada. He-went to St. Louis In 1847, and in 1850 cross the plains to Yreka, Cal.

LeagHC In SeMnlon at Spokane At JPart of Rules as to Requirements for Fancy Fruits. HOOD RIVER. Or.. May 1. (Special.) At a meeting of the Northwestern Ap ple Shippers' League at Seattle, consid erable amusement was caused by the adoption of a resolution Imploring clubs, church folk and societies not to sive picnics during strawberry harvest season, declares 11. F. Davidson, presi dent of the League, who returned from Spokane Thursday. All were urged to aid in every possible manner with the harvest of the crop. To avoid lostf, strawberries must be picked every morning. It is thought that 500 outside laborers will be needed to pick the Hood Itlver strawberry crop this year and growers already are mak. 1ii.lt arrangements for the harvest. The Spokane meeting of the Shippers' League was to decide upon a standard set of grading rules for all Northwest districts. Mr. Davidson says that the rules adopted conform with those of the North Pacific fruit distributors of last year, except that greater leeway Is given the growers in preparing their extra fancy apples with regard to blem ishes on the fruit. While the color of the fancy will be more pronounced the new rules will allow larger skin spots and other similar defects.

Prevents Acid Stomach and Food Fermentation Most people who complain of stom ach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble is excessive acid in the stomach, aggravated by food fermen tation. Hyperacidity Irritates the deli cate lining of the stomach, and food fermentation causes wind which dis tends the stomach abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling and retarding the process of digestion. In all such cases (and they' comprise 90 per cent of all stomach difficulties) the first and only step necessary is to neutralize the acid and stop the fer mentation by taking in a little water Immediately after eating from one to two teaspoonfuls of Bisurated Magnesia, which is doubtless the best and really effective antiacid and food corrective known. The acid will be neutralized and the fermentation stopped almost instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to digest the food In a healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask your druggist for Bisurated Magnesia, as other forms are utterly lacking in Its peculiarly valuable properties. Bisurated Magnesia, No. 25 E. 28th et., N.T.O.
