dler and citizen must regard himself
as the custodian of the nation's
honor.' Your discretion must prove
in the most convincing manner that
this is a struggle of an organized
nation.
- "In the negotiations now initiated
your leaders will do their utmost to
secure a Just termination of this
struggle, but history, and particu
larly our own history and the charac
ter of the issue to be decided, are a
warning against undue confidence.

Unbending determination to en
dure all that may still be necessary,
and fortitude such as you have shown
in all your recent Bufferings these
alone will lead to the peace you de
sire. Should force be resumed

ready on your part once more to re
sist. Thus alone will you secure the
final abandonment of force and the
acceptance of Justice and reason as
the arbitrator. DE VALERA."

ABERDEEN, Wash., July 9. (Spe
cial.) The circumstances surround
ing the finding of the charred body
of a man, which county authorities
today were convinced was that of
Martin Saari, in a lonely cabin nine
miles from Copalis last night, has
developed in a determined hunt for
George BrueL partner of the dead
man, on the . theory that he might
throw light on circumstances sur
rounding Saari's death.
The authorities today declared" that
Saari was murdered and the cabin
set on fire by the slayer to hide the
crime. Tracks, believed to be those
of Bruel, were followed for six miles
this morning, but were finally lost
in the dense swamp grass south of
the cabin, and it was believed . the
missing man made his escape by boat
or was hiding in the woods near the
scene of the tragedy.
Charred Bones Are Covered.
Deputy Sheriffs Hamm and Truman
and County Coroner Austin visited
the scene of the fire at 1 o'clock
last night and found the body of one
man. Further search at daylight
revealed that a man had visited the
place Just before the officers had
returned and had covered carefully
the charred bones with ashes and
rubbish.
Tracks, which apparently had been
freshly - made, were found leading
from the burned dwelling. The of
ficers picked up the trail and fol
lowed it to numerous deserted clam
diggers' huts in the vicinity.
In one of these cabins a complete
still was found in operation.
From the clam diggers' settlement
the trail led across the stretch of
beach and then into swamp grass,
which made further tracking impos
sible. It is believed that Bruel eluded the

FIFTH ATEXtE SEES MIGHTY
PARADE OF CHRISTIANS.
X '
Portland Delegation Among Most
Picturesque in Line; Bryan Ad
dresses Throng in Park.
NEW YORK, July 9. Fifth avenue
resounded today with militant hymns
as 15,000 Christian Endeavorers
marched in a mighty Christian citi
zenship parade. It was the crowning
feature of the sixth world's conven
tion of the society. :
Colorado was given the honor of
heading the parade. One of the most
picturesque groups was the Portland.
Or., delegation carrying red parasols
and roses. s
"Onward Christian Soldiers" and
"Brighten the Corner Where Tou Are"
were favorite songs of the marchers.
Great crowds lined the avenue and
cheered the procession. Only Ameri
can flags a sea of them were car
ried by the delegates.
The parade disbanded . at Central
park, where William Jennings Bryan
addressed the marchers, urging them
to use all their force to bring about
world peace through disarmament.
Unless there is disarmament, he said,
the world would face bankruptcy and
wars would be continuous.
He said America's hopes for peace
were bright as "we have a president
who is a Christian and believes in
the Bible and the Son of God." He
paid tribute to both houses of con
gress for their efforts to bring about
a conference to discuss disarmament.
He pleaded for America to call upon
the rest of the Christian nations of
the world to disarm, if an attempt
to get disarmament by agreement
failed.
Referring to the local Independence
day parade of anti-prohibitionists, he
said:
"If those people who carried empty
bottles in that parade had come here
they would have found the people
that emptied them.
"That parade represented the sun
set and whatever glow there was. the
glow of a closing day;"this represents
a dawn and the glow brightens every
minute."
Mr. Bryan told newspaper men that
"if there was any question about pro
hibition it died July 4 with the fizzle
of the anti-prohibition parade. The
anti-prohibitionists couldn't gather
together more than 14 per cent of the
number of people the democratic
party can corral at any time."
CHURCHMEN RESCUE GIRL
Chancellor and Secretary to Car
dinal Prevent Drowning.
PHILADELPHIA, July 9. Rev.
Joseph A. Whltaker, chancellor of the
archdiocese of Philadelphia, and Rev.
George Caruana, secretary to Cardinal
Dougherty, saved a girl from drown
ing in the Schuylkill river here to
day. The cardinal stood by ready to give
assistance.
Shipping Board Steamer West Ison
Moored to Wharf, but Escapes
by Cutting T,:nes.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 9. Damage
estimated at $300,000 was caused to
day by a fire which, started bx sparks
from a switch engine, destroyed a
large section of the East Waterway
Dock & Warehouse company's 1100
foot wharf and gutted an adjacent
warehouse on the, south water front
here before it was put out late in the
afternoon.
All available fire apparatus, to
gether with two fireboats. aided by
300 sailors from the superdreadnought
Idaho, fought the blaze for several
hours, preventing it from spreading
to highly combustible steel tanks of
vegetable oils on one side and to
warehouses containing 50,000 cases of
salmon on the other.
The loss was covered by insurance,
according to officials of the company.
The flames destroyed approximately
100,000 feet of lumber. 400 bales of
wool and 1000 tons of various ma
terials. The shipping board steamship West
Ison was moored to the wharf when
the fire broke out, but escaped after
her lines were cut.

TINGRI DZONG, Tibet, June 10.
(Via Simla, June 30.) Following is
the record of our Journey from Phari
to Khamba Dzong: '
We now began to enter the real
Tibetan country. Our transport con
sisted of a most miscellaneous col
lection of animals, comprising don
keys, yaks, ponies and mules, with
the result that there always was
considerable delay in starting in the
mornings. Dr. Kellas unfortunately
was rather seedy with a bad attack
of diarrhea and had to be carried
in an armchair by coolies. He had
not been feeling fit the last few
days; in fact, he had not recovered
from the hardships of the last two
months spent in climbing among the
snows where he lost a stone in
weight.
Some of our expert climbers are
unequally expert on mules and suf
fered several tosses. We crossed
Tangla, 15,200 feet, a most gentle
and easy pass; then we rode tean
miles across the absolutely level
plain of Tongpuensum on which here
and there most unexpectedly in the
dry sand delightful pink trumpet
shaped flowers appeared with leaves
buried altogether under the sand.
Monsoon clouds arose south of us in
tTreat rolling billows, but scarcely a
raindrop ever came. Chomolhari was
a magnificent sight the whole time;
its even 1000 feet of sheer precipices
were most tapressive.
Violent S lnd at Midday.
Our first halt was at Tuna in quite
a comfortable bungalow, being on
the main trade route. We were very
glad of its shelter, as the wind was
blowing furiously outside. In Tibet
the mornings are usually calm and
most beautiful, but at midday strong
wind arises and blows with great
violence every afternoon, dying down
in the evening.
The next march was to Dochen,
another stage on the Gyangtse road.
On the way we passed a number of
goa-goa, Tibetan gazelle, grazing in
the plains. They were very wild and
never allowed us to approach nearer
than 300 or 400 yards. The road was
perfectly level, keeping the height
of 14,700 feet all the time. Near
Dochen we followed the shores of
the Bamtso, a large shallow lake,
several miles across, with loveliest
coloring in It. the shades varying
through purple and dark blue to
green and almost red. from some
kind of reed growing in It. In the
background are great glacier-covered
mountains, and on still mornings
these all are reflected in the lake
waters. Many geese were swimming
about and also brahminy ducks and
terns and on the shores the pretties
yellow wagtail. Dr. Kellas was
rather better that day, but still is
too weak to ride and had to be
carried.
Tin of Fish Explodes.
In the evening, while preparations
were being made for dinntr, the
most, amusing thing occurred in the
kitchen. The cooks had' put a tin
of fish in boiling water and when

Hundreds of Nature-Loving Chil
dren Submit Briefs on Value
of Defendant Birds.
WASHINGTON, D. C, July 9.
President Harding has approved the
finding of the school boys' jury which
decided that the owls in the White
House grounds may live. Interest in
the subject was widespread among
nature loving children all over the
country, hundreds of whom sub
mitted briefs to the American for
estry association, which arranged the
trial.
The president today addressed his
approval to Jimmie Bradley, a Wash
ington school boy, and members of a
John Burroughs club, who headed the
Jury, in the following letter:
"My dear Jimmie: Your conclusion
is that the balance is in favor even
of the least desirable of the birds,
and I am inclined to agree with you.
For why should these birds have been
put here, unless to perform some use
ful services? On the whole, I think,
we will grant them a reprieve. I
think your John Bufrough club must
be doing a useful work. I hope you
will continue your nature studies and
that later on. when you all become
men and women, you will be as
much disposed to apply the rules of
equity and justice as you have been
in this case.
"Most sincerely yours,
"WARREN G. HARDING."

FACTS ABOUT YESTERDAY'S
MILL FIRE.
Property damage, $150,000
well insured.
Little Monarch mill burned.
Larger mill escapes.
About 25.000 feet of cut lum
ber destroyed.
North Portland railroad de
pot burned.
Oregon slough railroad bridge
scorched but not seriously dam
aged. Defective wiring thought
cause of fire.
Fire of undetermined origin which
swept through the plant of the little
Monarch mill in the Kenton district
totally destroyed the mill with a
resultant damage estimated at $150,--000
by fire bureau officials. The
main Monarch mill, adjacent to the
little mill, escaped the path of the
blaze.
The fire broke out at the north
east part of the mill shortly before 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
within an hour it was under complete
control. . Four engine companies front
the Portland fire department, under
direct charge-of-.hto44f-euhg. assisted
the local fire departments at the
Kenton plants in fighting the con
flagration and in preventing it from
spreading to adjacent plants.
In addition to the damage to the
mill, approximately 25.000 feet of
sawed and finished lumber were
burned, mill employes said.
A hurried examination by fire
bureau officials led to the belief that
defective wiring in the plant had
started the blaze, although this could
not be determined for a certainty.
