A communication was received yes
terday from Albert Salxbrenner. an
eminent artist who Is well known in
Portland, to tha effect that he had
received a letter from Hans Boehm.
the former steward of the Arlington
Club, who Is now a captain In the Ger
man army and detailed to the Berlin
general staff.
Captain Boehm's letter was sent to
The Oregonian In that of Mr. Salxbren
ner. and. bearing a June date, de
clares that "up to date weimve cap
tured 140.000 prisoners, 350 machine
guns and an Immense quantity of war
storea which the Russians have been
accumulating for many months so
vast that It Is hard to appraise them.
"One of the most 'brilliant single
achlevementa was that of the Prusaian
Ouards, under General Ltietxroann." the
letter continues. "There were about
12.009 men of them surrounded by Rut
dan armies of vastly superior numbers.
L'nder cover of the night they dis
mounted and. leading their horses,
marched toward the Kussian lines, at
tacked and penetrated them, at the
sama time taking 16.000 prisoners.
After burying their dead and caring
for tha wounded they continued their
march 17 kilometers over stubble fields
and finally Joined the main body of
their army.
"It Is amusing to read the inquiries
coming from the United States regard
ing the food question. Just think, two
of us enjoyed a dinner at Kemplnskl's

consisted of two bottles of porter, two
steaks, vegetables and an extra order

"Absolute confidence In the result
of the war. an unyielding determination

ever before In German hearts.
"Our barracks, army camps und oth

It's bad business to "kid" the master-at-arms
on a warship. For proof listen
to the tale of the experience of Claude
Brlsto!.,i newspaperman who was
amongthe press representatives on
the cruise of the Oregon Naval Mllltla
aboard the cruiser Albany. The master-at-arms
on a warship Is the chief of
police, the municipal Judge and the
Jailer,
He is picked for his fighting ability.
The master-at-arms on the Albany is
named Htmmelsbech and he is a husky
ex-welterweight champion prizefighter.
Bristol one night conceived the idea of
playing a joke on the master. The re
suit was that the master got mad and
threw Bristol into the "brig," which
Is the ship's Jail. '
The brig is Just about big enough to
hold a man without giving him a
chance to straighten out his full length.
It is in the position of the ship where
riding is roughect. where seasickness
Is a certainty even to hardened tars.
The master locked the doors, turned
out the lights and departed. Bristol
got excited and pleaded to get out. It
was then that the master-at-arms an
nounced (winking his eye at amused
sailors standing about) that "Bristol
would get out when he got on his
knees and apologized.
The ship heaved a couple of times
and Bristol forthwith fell to his knees
and paid homage to the master-at-
arms, who Is also master of the ship
when he wants to be. It was worth a
little embarrassment to get out of
there, remarked Bristol as he Jubilant
ly retreated from the Jurisdiction of the
master-at-arms.

Aaatrlana Kroploy Movies.
Other memoranda -are said to show
that the Austrian government placed in
this country several thousand feet of
film to be displayed for the benefit of
the German and Austrian governments
in moving-picture bouses in this coun
try, Mexico and Canada, together with i
lectures by Edward Lyell Fox, Albert
K. Dawson and others. The agree
ment made through Dr. Brandeis,

mother of our friend, Mrs. 1., wouia oe

However, personally, I see no .reason why
this payment could not be paid every month
of
the Austrian Consulate, representing
Ambassador Dumba, provided that th
Austrian government turn over to th
American Correspondent Film Company
Incorporated, of which M. B. Claussen
was president, 8000 feet of negative an
11,000 feet of positive, film, made by
the Austrian government, whicn was
to receive 25 per cent of the net pro
ceeds of the films..
The only limitation set by the Aus
trian government upon the use of the
films was that "Mr. Archibald is to
receive a number of feet sufficient for
use in his lectures. We have made an
agreement with Mr. Archibald to fur-
nish him with this as soon as the film
is released. Film furnished to him 1
for his exclusive use, and is to be re
turned to us at the end of his lectures.
Mr. Archibald is said to be J. F. J
Archibald, the magazine writer, who
has lectured on his war experiences in
Germany and Austria.
Kevta and Features Considered,
A long and detailed report made in
July for Berlin, the German Ambas
sador and Dr. Albert gives a careiui
study of the plan for establishing
news bureau and a lecture bureau in
this country, with estimates as to its
cost and a favorable recommendation
for the plan. It says:
"Although many great mistakes have
been made and much valuable time
wasted, I am convinced tnat the desired
results can yet be obtained, for the
principal reason that the 'pro-German
agitation' has during the last few
months been in the German interest.
Ifor instance, it has succeeded to con
vince the Driggs Seabury ordnance
corporation in Pennsylvania that it is
unjust to deliver ammunition to i
belligerent power if one is an oppon
ent of war as such. This factory has
repeatedly declined to deliver arms to
France and England, in spite of th
tremendous loss of money caused
thereby.
'In order to obtain our aim it is nec
essary to begin and carry through
press agitation which is adapted to
the character, the wishes and the way
of thinking of the American public.
Everything must be communicated to
them in the form of 'news,' as they
have been accustomed to this and onl
understand this kind of propaganda.
The value of such a press campaign
in America, if carried out by Ameri
cans for Americans, can be seen from
the following concrete examples:
Kor tne distribution of the news
which we have in view it will be abso
lutely necessary to found a new Ameri
can news syndicate with German
money.
"This has to be accomplished by a
United States corporation without let
ting it become known that German
money is behind it. It has to be th
aim of the syndicate to give to the
American newspapers and magazines
news and pictures with such a value
as 'news' that the American newspa
pers will feel compelled to buy them.
These news and pictures have to be
sold, because, first, tne American edi
tor despises news which is delivered for
nothing, as he imagines that anybody
who delivers news for nothing has a
selfish purpose, and, second, because
the bureau (respectively syndicate)
should in course of time not only coVer
its expenses, but also pay a dividend.

People Who Use Penina
Mrs. T. Freeh. R. R. 1, Hickory Point, Tenn., writes: "I am happy
to tell you that I am cured of catarrh. Having been afflicted with ca
tarrh and stomach troubles for sevenyears, and after having tried four
different doctors, who only relieved me for a little while, I gave up all
hope of being cured. I was induced to try Peruna, and to my great
surprise I am now entirely well. My health never was better."
FOR INDIGESTION
Ju.ru. W. R. Whitehead, R. R. 1, Pryor, Oklahoma, writes: "I am
happy to tell. you that I keep free from my old stomach trouble: feel no
catarrhal symptoms at all. I am able to. do my work, eat and drink
what I want, and rejoice to know that I found a surecure in your
valuable medicine. I think it saved my life. By beginning in time with
Peruna I was .ured sound and well."
Are Strong and Happy
The Peruna Con-pany, Columbus, phio. Those who object to liquid
medicine can now procure Peruna in tablet form.
This dividend would be used for the
purpose of extending the activities of
the, bureau and thereby increase its
value to German diplomacy.
"The news sent out must not make
the impression of being: put out for
propaganda purposes. Although its
principal value is based on its being
pro-German, its success depends large
ly upon the subtlety of presentation.
The bureau should be opened under the
supposition that it is to be a permanent
one."
The writer of the memorandum goes
on to recommend the reaching of rural
communities by furnishing news and
pictures to agencies which send elec
trotyped plates or "boilerplate" to
small papers. He advises stationing
popular American correspondents on
the eastern and western fronts and
establishing bureaus at various cities
in Gtmany and her ally countries.
Curb on Germans' Proposed.
The writer advises that, whether his
proposal be accepted or not, agitation (
on the part of Germans should cease, on
the subject of the violation oZ Belgian
neutrality and Belgian atrocities; on the .
theme that Kn gland is to blame for the
war; on the superiority of German cul
ture over the culture of American and
other nations. He advises that no more
dry, scientific pamphlets should be put
out in the German cause and that Ger
mans, and especially Germans in, au
thority, should cease to discuss publicly
the delivery of American arms and am
munition to the allies.
The plan to purchase the Mail for the
German government, before it was
bought by its present owners, is re
vealed in a letter by Paul T. Davis to
Dr. Albert, which states that the father
of the writer had put in much time and
labor trying to arrange for the pur
chase of the Mall by the German gov
ernment or German interests, and that
he should be paid therefor.
The World prints the following: S.
S. McClure, editor and ' part owner of
the Kvening Mail, denied yesterday
that German money had been invested
in the paper when It was purchased by
the present company.
"While I was negotiating for the
Evening Mail," he said, "H. 1 Stod- .
dard occasionally spoke of other of
fers for the same paper. I knew
nothing of any others who may have
tried to &et the Mail. I heard no .
names and knew of no people."
