OREGON'S SENATORS
DIFFER Of FOOO BILL

With South; McNary With
- Men From West.
IRRIGATION PLAN REJECTED

Nary's Plan for Developing Acre

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 28. Food legislation, like
politics, sometimes makes strange bed
fellows. For instance, who. In all Ore
Ron, ever expected to see the day when
Senator Chamberlain would array him
self with such "standpat republicans"
as Penrose and Knox, of Pennslyvanla,
Rrandegee. of Connecticut. Lodge and
Weeks, of Massachusetts, and Warren,
of Wyoming?
Yet that very thing happened to
. ward the close of the fight on the food
bill in the Senate, and what Is more.
Senator Chamberlain was the only dem
ocrat to line up with 11 stand-pat re
publicans, In a futile effort to block
the Porrterene amendment authorizing
the President to regulate the price of
coal to the consumer. The Pomerene
amendment was adopted by a vote of
72 to 12.
An analysis of the votes on amend
ments to the food conservation bill
shows, for one thing, that Oregon's
present Senators are in almost com
plete disagreement on questions of
food administration; It shows Senator
McNary in general accord with other
Senators from the Northwest, and Sen
ator Chamberlain most generally in ac
cord with the Senators of the South,
whenever the interests of the two sec
tions conflict.
Oregon Senator Differ.
Reviewing the votes of the Senate
In the order In which they were taken,
the Congressional Record shows that
on the Kenyon amendment to regulate.
In addition to the prices of farm prod
ucts, the prices of "iron ore and its
products, farm implements, farm tools,
hemp and binding twine," Senators Mc
Nary, Jones, Poindexter and Borah
voted "aye" and Senator Chamberlain
voted "no." This amendment was put
forward on the theory that if the prod
ucts of the farm are to be regulated as
to price, the commodities used largely
by the farmer ' should also be regu
lated: so that the farmer, selling in a
restricted market, need not buy in a
wide-open market. The amendment
was lost.
On the Shafroth amendment author
izing the President to appoint one food
administrator, instead of a board of
administrators. Senators McNary, Jones
and Borah voted "aye"; Senator Cham
. berlain and Poindexter voted "no."
Senator Newlands proposed that the
Government regulate the price to the
public of "iron, steel, copper and alu
minuuV inasmuch as it- fixed an ar
bitrarily low price at which it will
buy these commodities for its own use.
3 Ii pointed out that if the Government
price is very low the consuming public,
in an unregulated market, will pay an
abnormally high price, to make up for
the reduction given the Government.
Senators McNary. Jones Borah
voted for the Newlands amendment:
Senators Chamberlain and Poindexter
voted against it.
Chnmlterluin Proposes Wheat Trice.
When the Senate came to the com
mittee amendment, offered by Senator
Chamberlain, fixing a minimum price
of Wheat at $1.75 a bushel. Senators
Chamberlain and Poindexter voted
"aye." and Senators McNary, Jones and
Borah voted "no."
After further conference In the in
visible committee which dictated the
terms of the food bill to the Senate,
the wheat amendment later was modi
fied to fix the minimum price at $2
per bbshel at primary markets.
Whej Senator McNary brought up
his amendment appropriating $20,000.
000 to build new irrigation projects
under tfte provisions of the reclama
tion law., nearly every Western Sena
tor' voted' for it; Senator Chamberlain
spoke and voted against it. But South
ern Senators, to a man, voted with
Senator Chamberlain, and the amend
ment was lrtst.
The very next morning. Senator Till
man brought up an amendment appro
priating 10.000,000 to buy fertilizer
for the farmers of the South, and al
most the identical Senators who killed
the McNary amendment passed the Till
man amendment. Senator Chamberlain
however, voted against the Tillman
amendment, as did all other Senators
from the Northwests
All Together on' Kinal Vote.
Pecause neither Congress nor the
public is permitted to know any of the
details of vast contracts being made
for the Army and the Navy. Senator
Weeks proposed an amendment creat
ing a Joint Senate and house commit
tee with authority to command all in
formation regarding Government con
tracts, so that Congress may keep an
eye on expenditures. Senator Owen of
fered a substitute for this, and it was
adopted by a vote of .13 to 31. Senators
McNary. Jones, Poindexter and Borah
voted for publicity on Government con
tracts: Senator Chamberlain, voted
against me amendment.
On the passage of the bill- all Sena
tors from the Northwest voted in the
affirmative.

ARHY NOT-BETRAYED
Location ot New Troops Not
Revealed in News Dispatch.
CENSOR'S REQUEST, TARDY
Associated Press Asked Five Hours
After Receipt of Story From
Europe to Suppress It Pact
With Allies Is Lacking.
WASHINGTON. July 28. At 9:11
o'clock this morning, five hours after
Its receipt, the Associated Press re
ceived from the committee on public
information a request to kill the dis
patch from a European port announ
cing the safe arrival of another con
tingent of American troops.
The Associated Press saw no reason I
for killing the dispatch, inasmuch as
it disclosed no military Information of
a character to betray the location or
description of the troops and further
more because the dispatch had been
passed through the official censorship
In Europe.
The rhlefacensor of the War Depart
ment told a representative of the
Associated Press he was surprised that
the dispatch had been passed by the
censor abroad, because he supposed an
understanding had been reached with
the allied governments to what
character of news respecting American
military forces was to bs .transmitted
freely to the United States. The As
sociated PresB, too, has been given to
understand that such an arrangement
had been made.
Prohibited News Not Carried.
Furthermore, the Associated Press
has before It no request from any re
sponsible official to submit news of
such a character passed by the censors
to officials in Washington before being
distributed to its members. On the
other hand, the Secretary of War on
July 5, in a statement to editors, per
mitted press cables from France to go
directly to addressees without refer
ence to Washington, with the stipula
tion that certain classes of information
must not be contained in them. No
such prohibitive information is con
tained in the dispatch today.
Since July 5 no request has been
made of the Associated Press to with
hold or submit dispatches from abroad
prior to publication.
On July 3 the Secretary of War by
official order arbitrarily took posses
sion of all cable dispatches to news
papers and press associations relating
to American troops abroad and on July
4 and 5 the dispatches from France
addressed to the Associated Press in
New York were diverted to the War
Department without notice and later
delivered to the Washington bureau
with, on one occasion, a request for
deletion, which was complied with.
Emergency Declared Passed.
On July 4. Secretary Baker in New
York said to the Associated Press:
"The present arrangement is only a
temporary one and will be maintained
only so long as it Is necessary to per
fect a smooth working plan to handle
this matter without Imperiling the
lives of American citizens."
On July 5. in an official statement.
Secretary Baker announced:
"The emergency having passed, the
War Department states that press
cables from France are again permitted
to go directly t addressees without
reference to Washington. These pre
cautions however, must continue to be
observed."
Then followed an outline of military
Information which must not be dis
closed. Today's dispatch in no way
conflicts with that order.
The' Associated Press had no further
communication from the Government
on the subject until today.
Arrangement With Censors Supposed.
It was generally supposed In Wash
ington, and the belief has been shared
bv many officials, including the Army
censor and presumably the Secretary
of War. that an arrangement had been
perfected with the censors abroad. To
day's events are the first indication
that such Is not tho case.
The Washington Bureau did not
know and does not now know whether
the troops referred td landed In Eng
land or France. The Associated Press
has always stood ready to co-operate
with the Government, observing any
request in the National Interest.
The committee on public information
today asked that all dispatches relat
ing to troop movements be referred to
it for vise, but decline to say whether
a representative could be reached
throughout the night to pass upon in
quiries. Roller Committee Organized.

CAUSE OF WAR SOUGHT
POTSDAM MEETING DECLARED TO
HAVE IMPORT AN T BEARING.
July 5, 1014, Held Crucial Date In
Present War Story Says Hollwes;
Wished to Withdraw In July, 1014.
LONDON. July 28. An article char
acterized as "difficult If not impossible
to doubt," regarding the origin of the
war is published by the Times. The
writer recalls a reference in the speech
in the Reichstag last week of Hugo
llaase. leader of the Socialist minority,
as reported in the Lrlpziger Volks
Zeitung to the meeting July 6. 1914, as
one of the things which must be ex
plained before the origin of the war is
fully understood.
According to the Times' informant
this probably will become the most
famous date of that fateful month. Ho
says a meeting was held at Potsdam,
those attending being the Emperor, Dr.
von Bethmann-IIollweg. Admiral vou
Tlrpitz, General von Kalkenhayn, Dr.
William von Stumm, Under Secretary
for Foreign Affairs; Archduke Fred
eric of Austria, Count von Berchtold,
Austrian Foreign M inister; Count Tlsza.
Premier of Hungary, and General
Hoetzcndorf. They decided all lh
principal points of the Austrian ulti
matum to be dispatched to Serbia.
Eighteen days later it was recognized
that Russia probably would refuse to
submit thereto and that war would
result, but the meeting definitely de
cided to accept I hat consequence.
Tho Emperor then went to Norway
with the object, says the writer, of
throwing dust Into the eyes of tho
French and Kusslan governments. I.ater
when it bacamo known that England
would not remalu neutral. Dr. von
Uethmann-Hollweg wished to with
draw, but It was too iate. The govern
ment was challenged to deny the story
but did not.
Tree Felled; Flag Taken.
V tidal despoiled the yard of Dr. E.
B. Wright at Hood River recently by
chopping down a tree 100 feet in height
and removing from the top a fine silk
flag 10 by 20 feet In size. Tho flag
could be seen from many parts of tho
Hood River Valley. The tree grew in
the front yard of the Wright home. The
flag was taken last Thursday night
by some miscreant who has not yet
been located.
