3 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, FORTXAND. FEBRUARY 4, 1917. OREGON HAS 2400 111 UNDER ARMS Infantry, Coast Artillery, and Naval Militia Ready, Major Wilson Says. ARMORY GUARDS POSSIBLE Guard Officers Believe German Sit uation May Require Mobiliza tion for Duty In State and , Coast Defense. Tw6nty-four hundred men, members ef the Oregon National Guard, the Coast Artillery corps and the Oregon Naval Militia, 6tand ready to mobilize on short notice for active service, ac cording: to Acting-Adjutant-General Wilson. These are in addition to a. total of about 300 men in Troop A, cavalry, and Battery A, field artil lery, now on the Mexican border. Un der the new Federal oath taken by alii trie men, they are subject to call into the Federal service at any time. The Third Regiment of Infantry is short about 1000 men of the number re quired for war strength, while the Coast) -firtiuery corps lacKS aDout 3U0 men. While recruiting is going on as usual, no effort will be made to start re cruiting on a large scale unless orders bo to do are received from Washing ton. Dorder Veteran Trained. As a result of the experience of the Third Regiment on the Mexican bor der, the men are now well trained and fully equipped and there is a. suffi cient amount of reserve equipment in the state to fully equip an increase up to 3600 men. The organization now consists of the Third Regiment of 15 companies, one regiment of Coast Ar tillery of 12 companies, and a Naval militia of 205 men and officers. In ad dition there will be Troop A and Bat tery A which will become a part of the state organization as soon as mustered out after the return from Calexico. The sudden development in the Ger man situation is expected to have an effect on the State Legislature in the matter of appropriations for the guard. As things stand now the guard has been chopped down to an appropriation of $150,000, whereas a minimum of 1 60,000 was asked and between $190. 000 and $200,000 was said to be need ed to enable the organization to meet' the Federal requirements. With prospects of increased enlist ment and increased expenses necessary for protection of armories and for such service as the Guard might be called on to do In the state, a change of heart on the part of the Legisla ture is anticipated. AMnory Guards Possible. Major Wilson, acting Adjutant General, said yesterday that he ex pects that if the German trouble be comes serious the first thing that will be imperative for the National Guard will be to establish lines to protect Army property against cranks. He ays it will be necessary at once to establish additional . guards at , armo ries throughout the state. No provi sion has been made for this in the ap propriations' sought from the Legisla ture. No official orders have . beeen re ceived by the National Guard as yet. but Major Wilson says the organiza tion stands ready for immediate mobili zation in case of need. Officers of the organization are uncertain as to what call there might be for the Guard or ganizations, but are of the opinion that in case they are called their serv ice would be principally for coast de fense and for duty within the state. It is said that in case of war Ore gon could raise in short notice a suf ficient number of experienced officers for four regiments, or 7200 men. These are officers of the old Second Oregon and other organizations who have had active service. PASSPORT GIVEN GERMAN (Continued From First Pa ge. orders of my government the last day or so and now I expect I will be un able to communicate with them at all since the use of my code probably will not be allowed and I could not send messages in plain language." It was nearly 2 o'clock when As sistant Solicitor Woolsey, of the State Department, arrived at the embassy with the Ambassador's passports and the note from Secretary Lansing. Mr. Woolsey was taken to the embassy study. He delivered the documents and left Immediately. A group of news papermen then went in. Newspapermen Are Received. The Ambassador, as is the custom, sat down under the portrait of his Kmperor and opened the conversation by saying: "I am very glad to see you all, gentlemen, but what Interest can you have in me? I am a private citizen again." "Have you received your passports, Mr. Ambassador?" was asked. "Yes," he -replied. I have them for myself, my family and my suite." "When am I going home? I do not know. You will have to ask the Swiss Minister that. I have asked him to take charge of our affairs and he will make all the arrangements for my de parture. Procedure? I don't know that, either. This is my first ex perience of this kind and I will have to inform myself regarding what shall be done. I am just waiting to see what is going to happen." ' The Ambassador-, was told that the ' United States would take necessary steps to protect American life and prop- erty on the seas and was asked what would happen. "What will happen?" he replied. "I can't say about that. If American war ships are going to convoy ships carry ing ammunition well, really I can't say what will happen." At that the Ambassador shrugged his shoulders. lifting his hands and let ting them fall upon his knee. The note handed to Count von Bern storff with his passports, conveying a formal notification that the United States had severed diplomatic relations, conforms closely in substance to Presi dent Wilson's address to Congress. Signed by Secretary Lansing and ad dressed, to. the Ambassador, the com munication viewed tersely the diplom matic correspondence between the two governments since the sinking of the Sussex, using the same quotations that were embodied by .the President in his address. It then announces bluntly that "all diplomatic relations between the United States and the German em pire are severed," that Ambassador Ger ard will come home and that Count von Bernstorff's pssports have been made ready. The note begins as follows: "The Secretary of State to the Ger man Ambassador. "Department of State. February 3, 1917. "Excellency: "In acknowledging the note with ac companying memoranda, which you de livered into my hands on the afternoon of January 31, and which announced the purpose of your government as to the future conduct of submarine warfare, I would direct your attention to the fol lowing statements appearing in the correspondence which has passed be tween the Government of the United States and the imperial government in regard to submarine warfare." Pasaports Are Delivered. Then follow the quotations used by the President in addressing Congress: That from the Sussex note giving no tification of a severance of diplomatic relations unless Germany's submarine warfare is brought within interna tional law; that from the German reply giving new pledges but reserving lib erty of action, should the allied block ade continue unmodified; that from the American rejoinder saying that the United States could not predicate Ger many's compliance with international law upon the conduct of another bel ligerent; and lastly that from a mem orandum accompanying the German note of January - 31, giving notice of unrestricted naval warfare. "In view of this declaration," con cludes the note handed the Ambassa dor, "which withdraws suddenly with out any prior intimation the solemn assurance given in the Imperial gov ernment's note of May 4, 1916, this Gov ernment has no alternative consistent with the dignity and honor of the United States but to take the course which It explicitly announced in its note or April 18. 1916, it would take in the event that the imperial government did not declare and effect an abandon ment of the methods of submarine war fare then employed and to which the imperial government now purpose again to resort. "The President has. therefore, direct ed me to announce to your excellency that all diplomatic relations between the United States and the German em pire are severed, and that the American Ambassador at Berlin will be imme diately withdrawn, and in accordance with such announcement to deliver to your excellency your passports. "1 have the honor to be, "Your excellency's obedient servant, "ROBERT LANSING." YARD ON SOUND TO GROW CHIEF PACIFIC NAVAL STATIOS IS CONTEMPLATED.

ACTIVE SERVICE EXPECTED Expenditure of $5,000,000 Is Planned by D e p jirtnKe-i t ! rt 1 a n d Again As sured of Fair Chance. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb! 3. The Navy Department today informed J. E. Barnes, repre sentative of the Puget Sound Navy yard, that plans in preparation in the Department contemplate the expendi ture of $5,000,000 in upbuilding the Puget Sound Navy-yard with a view to making it the chief naval base on the Pacific Coast. . The Quartermaster-General at a con ference yesterday with President O. M. Clark and Vice-President H. T. Corbett, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, and Senator Chamberlain confirmed his recent statement that he would, in fu ture calls for Army supplies for Ha waii and the Philippines, specify Port land delivery, provided dock charges will be no higher at Portland than at Seattle or at San Francisco. The Chamber officials were convinced from their conference that Portland is at last on the Quartermaster-General's map, for they believe the matter of dock charges can be arranged to the entire ' satisfaction of 'the Department Commander Blair Leaves for Wash - ington, and Will Ask Navy De partment to Keep Men To eether as Unit. A feeling that In case of war with Germany the naval organizations will be the first called into active service has caused great excitement among members of the Oregon Naval Militia. The men. 205 in number, are anticipat ing early orders. Under their Federal oath they-are subject to service within or without the territorial limits of the United States. Lieutenant-Commander George F. Blair, commander of the Naval Militia of Oregon, left last night for Washing ton, D. C, to attend the annual meet ing of the National Naval Militia. Asso ciation. He expects to be on the ground in case a call is issued for the Oregon militia and will seek to have the or ganization kept togetlx in such way that it can be taken as a unit to make up a part of the complement on one ship, rather pi an the men being as signed to various ships. In case of a call all enlistment into the Naval Militia will stop immediately and the organization would mobilize at once and move to Bremerton there to report for service. At that point the men would be assigned to war details on ships as the commandant in charge sees fit. Further Examination Required. On arrival at Bremerton officers and men would be subject to physical ex amination and officers . and men not having qualified for their ratings heretoore would have to qualify at that time to hold their ratings. All but three of the present officers have qualified. Eight officers and 150 men of the organization are now eligible to service without taking an additional physical examination. Under the National Volunteer Act four officers and 30 men of the organi zation are now qualified to go into the service direct without having to go to Bremerton. They could be assigned directly by the President to any ship. It is planned to put the rest of the organization on the same basis. The men are ready for this, but the required service records have not been received, the supply at Washington having been exhausted. The Naval Militia opened a recruiting station last night on Washington street, between Broadway and West Park streets. This had been planned before the German situation arose, the pur pose being to enlist men prior to the Honolulu cruise next Summer. New Lair Anticipated. Under the Federal act of 1914 the states were given three years to meet the Federal requirements as to enlist ment, and it had been the desire to get as many men as possible beforo the new rules become effective. The rule will go into effect February 16 and the enlistment contracts will be con siderably more rigid than under the present rules. The present National plan in regard to the Naval Militia of the various states is to increase the present strength of 10,000 to 25.000. To meet this Oregon's strength would have to be increased to 500. The membership now is 205, and it is expected to be 350 before the annual Summer cruise. and 500 as soon after that as possible Twenty applications for enlistment will be acted on Tuesday night. Commander Blair, before leaving for Washington. D. C. last niprht said that he hoped to be able in case of a call to keep the Oregon organization to gether. "I hope," he said, "to be able to have our organization swung around in Buch way as to make up 60 per cent of the complement of some ship such as the New Orleans. I expect to be in Washington about two weeks and will work along that line with ,the Navy Department. discussion of the bill, and there were ' many references to Impending devel- 1 opments in connection with the break with Germany. This is an hour of reflection and' serious consideration." said Mr. Padgett. "I address myself to the patriotism and wisdom of the House. There is no par tisanship in considering the Navy. Un der the circumstances, at this time that sentiment finds cordial expression from every member. This is not the hour to hesitate." Several Republicans expressed slml- ar ' sentiments, urglnar that the naval bill be brought to passage as quickly as possible, but others on both sides of the House entered objections against tne commandeering amendment. Representative Brittenannounced tie had prepared an amendment to appro priate ii8,ou,ouo to nasten comple tion of 113 warships authorized at pre vious sessions of Congress and now under construction in Government and private shipyards. General debate was concluded today and detailed consideration of amend ments will begin Monday. CLUBS PLEDGE LOYALTY BOYS AXD WOHEK OFFER THEIR SERVICES TO PRESIDENT.

No Evidence Obtained to Indicate That South Americans Will End Ger man Relations. WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. Although there have been intimations that the break between the United States and Germany may be followed by a sev erance of relations also between the Berlin government and Brazil. Argen tina and perhaps other Latin-Ameri can republics, no evidence came to light today to show that the Latin American diplomats here were doing more i than gathering information to transmit to their governments. Mr. Naon. the Argentine Ambassador, was the only member of the Latin American corps who called at the State Department during the day. He con ferred for half an hour with Coun sellor Polk. None of the diplomats would hazard a guess as to the effect of the break in the policy of the Latin-American countries, and, so far as could be learned, no definite information of the subject had reached either the State Department or the diplomats.

The ex-Secretary of State said botn sets of belligerents believed they were in a death struggle and felt justified In resorting to acts contrary to inter national law, as heretofore interpreted. He said the President had appealed to the nations at war to forget their bit ternesses and come together in an hon orable peace, adding "are we not in duty bound to measure up to the stand ard set for them?"
