holding the game in Corvallis this

ALL ACT WITH DISPATCH
When Test of Beat Ability Comes,
Hone of America's Ambassadors ln
War Zone la round Wanting.
By the International News Senrlce.)
London, Oct. 17. To entertain and
to keep his mouth shut these are the
duties of an American ambassador in
time of peace. But when the country
to which he is accredited is at war he
is called upon to do so many things
that only t man of the coolest disposi
tion and finest ability could make
headway against the flood of requests.
His duties range all the way from tell
ing a distracted tourist where she can
find a doctor- for a crying baby to
serving as a meshs of cummunica-
tion between two ot the great warring
powers.
From every capital in Europe come
graterut appreciations of the snlen
did work done by the American rep
resentatives in this chaotic summer
of 1914.
Take, for Instance, the case of
Myron T. Herrick, in Prance. On
August 4, when the German ambassa
dor to Franca received his nassDorts.
Mr. and Mrs. Herrick were sitting in
their dismantled mansion in the Rue
Francois Premier. Their trunks were
packed and Mr. Herrick was ready to
hand over his papers to hi successor.
mr. &narp.
They had had a pleasant stay in
-ans. it nad cost Mr. Herrick some
thing ilk 1160,000 the first year at his
post, when he had to purchase his fur
niture and about $8000 a month the
second year. Still they had met many
interesting persons and no rude story
about the crudity of American diplo
macy naa filtered back to America.
ouaaeniy me avalanche fell upon
them. Thousands of letters, telegrams
and cables swept into Mr. Herrick's
otfice every day. There were Danie
stricken tourists wishing to get home
dj- express train, where there were no
express trains, and there were anxious
friends in the United States insistent
for immediate news of their families
or relatives.
Besides the pleasure seekers be
sieging him night and day there was
tne resident colony to be thouaht of.
thousands of them craving a Drivate
Interview and advice about the best
way to manage their affairs with the
sudden threat of a siege.
irom Switzerland and from north
ern Italy the cohorts poured Into Paris.
They must be given care until they
could be got down to the seaports and
snipped across the Atlantic. ShiDS
were lacking and there was a general
clamoring for the ambassador to cable
Washington to stfpply the deficiency.
Impostors Are Many.
Added to the genuine cases of dis- j
tress were the clever crooks and con
fidence men and women who took the
opportunity to reap a golden harvest. 1
Then, too, there were many instances
of base ingratitude. Women accus
tomed to luxury cried curses on the
ambassador's head for failing to keep
them from slight hardships.
Soon there came even graver duties
for the hard-pressed ambassador. The
United States took over the interests
in Paris of Austria and Germany. This
was delicate business, enough in itself
to keep an envoy at h;s wits' ends.
Frightened women and children of na
tions hostile to France must be pro
tected or at least were convinced that
thev must be. Then there were ques
tions of state to be handled.
Mr. Herrick Immediately took ad
vantage of offers of assistance from
American ' friends in Paris and or
ganized a large force as best he eould.
There were several committees formed
for relief work. He and Mrs. Herrick
worked day and night. They placed
their motor cars in service. They
opened their house and refurnished it
and here they gave the homeless lodg
ing and supplied food to many. They
used large amounts of their own
money In tbe work. Both fell ill, but
kept on working. Finally Mr. Herrick
remained the only ambassador in
Paris.
Mr. Sharp and Robert Bacon, a for
mer United States ambassador, ' luck
ily arrived in time to De of assistance.
But Mr. Herrick did the principal
worn.
W. H. Fare and Gerard Alert.
The story of Mr. Herrick's work in
Paris is .largely that of Walter H
Pa?e here and of James W. Gerard in
Berlin. London probably handled the
largest number of tourists. Forty-five
thousand Americans sailed for home
from British ports between August 5
and August 29 alone. Probably 100,000
have left Europe for America bv now
Mr. Gerard had especial difficult
ies to contend with. When he took un
his duties in Berlin anr) rented the
scnwaDacn palace at 7i goo a year.
besides spending s?verI thousands
more in refitting, und-v1. tartly tie had
little thought for otbf- han magnifi
cent receptions nnd dinners, the usual
tilings Uncle Sam always expects his
diplomatists to do and to pay for out
of their own pockets.
But the month of August found this
same magnificent home filled with
mob of angry, complaining, frightened
tourists, unreasonably demanding the
impossible. Mr. Gerard met them with
calm patience. He stood in his office
day and night, constantly it seemed.
giving words of advice and cheer. Sev
eral times he even accompanied train
loads of Americans to Rotterdam, just
to see that they got through all right.
In addition to these duties, he had
charge Of the interests of Kn gland
Russia, Japan, France, Belgium, Ser
via and Montenegro.
His effoYts were misunderstood by a
section of the German press, which
saw in his assiduity in getting Amer
icans heme the threat of war by the
United States against Uermany.
Yet the bulk of Germans watched
American efficiency with admiration
and Mr. Gerard was acclaimed as
worthy representative of a great neu
tral country.
in Belgium. Brana wniuocK, our
minister, found himself in the actual
theatre of war operations. First he
had to meet a swarm of frightened
persons caught Ln the rapid advance of
the German army and escort them to
Antwerp, Then came the occupation
of the Belgian capital. Undoubtedly
Mr. Whitlock should have most of the
credit for preventing scenes of vio
lence in Brussels. Ha accompanied
the burgomaster, M. Max, to meet the
German conqueror. General Saxe von
Arnim. if he did not actually, as told
in some cabled stories, take Brussels
"under American protection yet he
undoubtedly had much to do with ar
ranging the terms of surrender and in
calming the populace. The Bruxellois
swear by Mr. Whitlock now.

It is undoubted that one effect of
the war will be to raise the estimation
of American diplomats and diplomacy
abroad. The peoples of Europe real
ize the heavy debt they all owe to
American representatives. Their debt
is growing, too. American ambassa
dors are arranging for the exchange of
rifoners of war and already have suc-
eeded in effecting much in the line
of sending home non-combatant Ger
mans ought in England and English
caught in Germany. And when the
time comes to settle this huge and
dreadful war the ambassadors from
the United States have much to do
with the difficult task of arranging
the terms of peace.
"Shirt sleeve diplomacy" is the name
sometimes applied to our brand. This
name was invented by disgusted
Americans themselves. It may have
been merited long ago, but today, when
the diplomatists of Europe saw a war
break in a few weeks despite them.
American diplomacy Is bound to be
the standard for all that Is best in
that vocation.

Postponement Is Beaten.
Following the defeat of his amend
ment. Senator Hoke Smith moved to
table the bill. Senator Bryan made a
point of order that the agreement to
vote today was intended to carry it
to "final disposition." The vice pres
ident sustained the point of order. Sen
ator Vardaman then moved to post
pone the bill Indefinitely.
In the discussion that ensued the
Democrats enjoyed an old fashioned
wrangle. Those who favored cotton
legislation were assailed by Senators
James, Williams, S'hiveley and Pom
erene, all Democrats. Senator James
called them "Recalictrants" and "Re
pudlators of pledges." - Senator Varda
man's motion was defeated 32 to 25.
The bill places a tax of $1.75 a
barrel on beer which Is expected to
raise about $40,000,000 revenue; a tax
on wine of eight cents a gallon, with
55 cents a gallon on grape brandy
or wlue spirits used in fortifying
wines; a tax of $1 per $1000 of cap
ital, surplus and undivided profits on
banks, and special taxes on pawn

Taxes are also placed on perfumery,
cosmetics and chewing gum. One of
the most drastic ' income proposals
ever made in, congress was offered in
lieu of a portion of the war tax reve
nue bill by Senator Polndexter of
Washington tonight, and voted down
by the senate. ' "
On incomes greater than $289,009
the tax was five per cent on all above

American Revenue Cutters to

Los. Angeles, CaL, Oct. 17. A naval
battle may be fought soon off the
northern coast of Lower California
between warships of tbe various war
ring Kuropean powers ' and their al
lies as the result of voyages into
Mexican waters undertaken by the
steamers Sacramento and Mazatlan.
These two vessels, which t onight
were presumably steaming Bteadily
southward on ostensible commercial
errands are believed by the command
ers of cruisers of some European
powers to be on the way to give suc
cor to ships of the enemy,
The Sacramento, which hugged the
coast, keeping within the three-mile
limit to prevent a violation of neu-
trallty on the part of the British and
Japanese men of war which shadowed
her, the V. b. cruiser Raleigh unos-
tentatiously convoyed the steamer
south ward to the Mexican line.
Somewhere in the vicinity of tne
Sacramento is the Mazatlan, which 1
cleared from Los Angeles harbor to- '
day Just before a protest against her i
doing so was formally made by C.
White Mortimer, British vice consul
here. j
The Mazatlan, which .formerly was
used as a collier for the German i
cruiser Leipzic, was charged by Vice j
Consul Mortimer with supplying that !
man of war with medicines, food and
supplies. The protest against the ,
vessels being allowed to clear was in- ;
effectual for the reason that clear
ance papers had been given the Ma
zatlan before the protest was made,
although it was several hours after
the protest was filed that the vessel
actually sailed.
American revenue cutters are said
to be in the wake of th vessel, ready
to report any irregularity : as well as
to prevent any attack upon It in
American waters.

American, four troopers of the Ninth

were wounded In Naco, Arixona, today
by bullets fired by belligerent Mexi
can forces across the boundary. Un
official dispatches received here late
this afternoon gave this information.
The war department sent a dispatch to
Colonel Hatfield, commanding at Naco,
Arizona, asking full particulars con
cerning the shooting of Americans.
Colonel Hatfield, in a report to the

from bullets fired by Mexicans on the
Mexican side.
The fire was directed by Villa's
troops under General Maytorena at the
Carranaa troops under General Hill.
The latters defense is, that he Is up
