Colonel May and Captain Logus did not
hesitate the promotion hand until there
wasn't even a discussion, and Colonel
May dismissed the subject by saying:
"I've 1900 more men, all competent,
from which I can select and build up
another office force, which will be just
as good but not better than the men I
am sending up."
Those from the ranks who were
recommended are: Sergeant-Major John

for promotion.
There has also been a promotion in
the regimental hospital staff. Sergeant

Attaraer-Geaer.l.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 20. (Special.) In
response to an Inquiry from Governor
Withyeomne relative to a proposed bill
for compulsory arbitration should a
special session of the Legislature be
convened, Attorney-General Brown to
day sent a communication to the execu
tive outlining: what statutes to that
effect now are on the books of other
states and countries.
He also cites a number of authorities
relative to the question of compulsory
arbitration. ,
In closing his letter to the Governor
the Attorney-General quotes from a
treatise by Thomas I. Parkinson. The
quotation follows:
In endotvoring to prevent tiy legislation

constitutional, whether It may b expected
to be effective in practice or whether In
the lone run it will prove desirable. Where
there is such wide choice of ways and means
to accomplish the legislative purpose and
where any effective scheme involves so
much detail, questions of constitutionality
and desirability cannot b answered in gen
eral : they must be dlrarted to a specific
nti detailed propoiul. When so much de
pends upon detail it is Imperative that every
phase of t he subject should be carefully
studied before a serious legislative proposal
in formulated. The wisdom of the policies
underlying the details which it is proposed
to incorporate in such a statute should be
carefully weighed, and the legislative de
terminations should be formulated and
phrased with the . utmost precision. Un
less the determination 01 the policies of
arbitration legislation be baaed upon Inti
mate knowledge of fact and law and un
less the transacting of these policies Into
a statute be done with care and skill, there
is grave danger that compulsory arbitra
tion, even though It he constitutional, may
not prove to be desirable.

customers at 4 per cent for the pur-

bank Itself Is absorbing tho expense of
the additional work thereby entailed.
nd the bank itself has subscribed for
$20,500 of the bonds, or nearly one-half
the amount of its capital stock.
The action taken was decided upon
at a meeting of the directors held at
the call of Sam M. Garland, chairman
of the board. S. 1. Bach, an American
citizen of German birth, is president

Officials Arc Waiting Anxiously

, Few Minutes.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 20. J. C. Mc
Kinney, a second-class naval seaman,
of Newark, X. J., was among: the men
lost in the torpedoing of the transport
Antilles Wednesday by a German sub
marine, the Navy Department was ad
vised today by Vice-Admiral Sims. His
name became confused with that of
K. L. McKinzey. a seaman, of Water
Valley, liss., who was reported anion;
the missing. McKinzey was saved. No
further details of the sinking of the
Antilles had been received by the de
partment late today.
Administration officials are awaiting:
with profound Interest amplification of
the meager details cabled to the Navy
Department yesterday by Vice-Admiral
Kims. Names of the great- majority of
the victims are lacking, yesterday's
dispatches giving; only those of four
naval seamen and three engineer of
ficers of the transport.
Muster Roll Awaited.
It was impossible to ascertain the
identity of the casualties among the
crew and soldiers. The list cannot be
completed until the muster roll made
up at the French port of embarkation
can be compared with tho roster of sur
vivors. While the deepest sympathy was ex
pressed today In official circles for
those who gall-.ntly gave up their lives,
relief was ge,oral over the fact that
the vessel had met her fate while home
ward bound and not on the way over
with a large number of troops uboard.
Work Skillfully Done.
Interest is intense the manner the
submarine managed to elude tho pro
tecting convoy and discharge the tor
pedo that passed directly into the
bowels of the vessel. Naval officers
are of the opinion that the German
commander lurked beneath the surface
till the roving destroyers passed over
head and then waited for the big troop
ship to come into easy range before
releasing the deadly missUe.
It is Inferred from Admiral Sims'
report that the ship went down in a
few minutes. This fact, coupled with
tho necessity of rescuing survivors,
made impossible, it is belioved, any at
tempt to locate the U-boat.
