'London, Dec. 21. KnglanU was read
ing with the keenest Interest today the
BritUh account of the battle of the
Falkland Inland, cabled from Mon
tevldeo, , where the warship Invincible
had arrived, with Admiral Sir Fred
erlck Sturdee on board.
Kxcept that the number of Germans
saved Waa placed at 23a Instead of 94,
Instead of previously given, the ac
count did not materially differ, how
ever, from the one sent out several
days ago from Buenos Aire. j
It was eleur that Admiral Count von i
Ppee attempted an attack on the Falk
land islands and did not discover the
British . squadron's superior strength
until It mas too late tor the escape
of any of his ships isrtcept the cruiser
f Dresden, which, so far as Admiral
J Sturdee's report Indicated, was ; still
s afloat. -
I To soma estent Admiral Sturdee's
story served to divert the country's at!
tiyitlon from the recent German nuval
,; raid on the Kngllsh eaM coast. There
f rontinued to be, however, a rood deal
of criticism of the London admiralty
on account of the unsatisfactory show-
ing which It teems to be generally felt
the navy has made since the war be
t iran, a selitiment which is kept con
J stantly stirred up by the frequent
1 losses of British ships by submarine
1 mines.
I Boa Behel Is Executed.
The last of these fliasters reported
here befell the Donaldson liner Tri
tonla. blown up off the north coast of
Ireland Saturday. It was said the
crew was saveu.

New ! York. Dee. 12. A world fed
eration which shall preclude war was
nroDhesied by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins
Oilman! in the first of a series of
lectures she la delivering under the
group j title, "War and the World
Hope." I Mrs. Gilman admitted that
the first attempts at the federation
would lb feeble, but . the world waa
beginning to realize the Interdepen
dence of nations and the need for
closer co-operation, she said; and one
of the things that was bringing It
home to this oountry waa . the task
of feeding the starving nations during
the European war.

In a long letter forwarded to the
board today- Mr. Evans takes issue
with the opinion of Robert Maguire,
his former deputy. Maguire on July
30 told the board that the law obliged
the commissioners to select at ' least
two newspapers In which to publish
the delinquent tax list and that It
could at its discretion select others
provided those selected each had 10.-
000 or more paid circulation within the
county, -- , -

papers having tne
circulation within
upon the amendment adopted In 1913
which says in this connection:
"Provided, however, that In coun
ties of 100,000 or more Inhabitants
the county court of, said counties Bit
ting for county purposes shall cause
said delinquent tax list to be pub
lished in daily newspapers of 10,000
bona fide sworn to and ascertained
circulation in said county."
The fact that thej amendment reads
"daily papers" instead of "all daily
papers." shows, said Maguire. that the
power of selecting more than two
newspapers rested j entirely with the
court. !'
The district attorney In his opinion
today puts another! interpretation on
the matter. In hia letter he says V1
part: "I have given the matter fur
ther thought and attention ana nave
examined the former acts relating to
the publication ofj delinquent taxes
and am finally of the opinion that the
enactment in question being chapter
301 of the session laws of 1913, in
tended to take away all discretionary
right that had formerly reposed In the
board in the matter of aelecting a
newspaper for this purpose.
Action Is Deferred.
"The amendment! which was added
to the old law by the 1913 acts makes
it applicable to Multnomah county
alone and I have nq, doubt was In
tended that the court should lie re
lieved of the embarrassment of mak
ing a selection of ! rival newspapers.
and further that It was Intended to
commpel the court to give this service
to all papers that are within the limit
fixed by the law." I
At its session this forenoon the
county court took 09 consideration of
the matter, but after hearing protests
against any proposal to publish the
list in more than two newspapers,
voiced by A. L. Fish, business manager
of The Journal, decided to confer fur
ther with the district attorney before
taking any action toward the publica
tion of the delinquent list.
Mr. Fish asserted that It was a
waste of money to; publish the list in
all four newspapers, and said it was
unjust to saddle the extra ex
pense on delinquent taxpayers who are
compelled to pay the cost of publica
tion. The usual cost is about $5000
when all four nawspapers are used,
and he said that he! saw no reason why
this could not be cut in half by select
ing two. j
Commissioner ' Llghtner was also
strongly set against the Idea of using
all newspapers. Ha went further and
asserted that the best way would be
to have no lists published at all.

Homeopathy next summer. Dr. Byron
E I. Miller, Its president, returned from
the east last night with the announce
ment that the delegates from all over
the land would visit the Rose City in
a special train after the gathering la
over. 5
The train will be known as the "in
stitute special," and Dr. Miller said the
passengers will linger about Portland
several days on their way to the Panama-Pacific
exposition. ;
The big feature of the entertainment
the president is planning for the mem
bers is a trip over the new Columbia
highway, which he believes one of the
grandest scenic drives in the world.
The convention will be held at Chi.

4 the special will start west. Dr. Mill

accompany the train, but Judging from
similar jo'drneys in other years, be be

and business men generally are believ
