THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 21, 1914. GERMAN SHIP I 1 LOST I RANSPORT MID GREA YARMOUTH British Warship Said to' Have Sent Vessel Crowded With Men to the Bottom, SECRECY IS MAINTAINED Xxtra Troop Kara Baan Hurriad to - Coaat Sine AtUalt Took Placa , Midland Protected. 4DDltod Prw I.eoed Vftrm.y LoiKlon, Dec. 9. (By Mail to New York.)-i-"Bhind the recent raid on Great Yarmouth wai the first actual attempted Invasion of England," a vis itor from the east 'coast today in formed the United Press. "The Germans lost a great transport ship, crowded with hundreds of troops, but the remainder of the expedition escaped." i - The east coast resident declared he received the Information from a naval man who actually took part in - the fighting. According to him, a British warship sent the transport to the bottom, but he declared he was sworn to secrecy as to details and declined to 4a y whether all were drowned or any efforts were made to pick up surviv ors. When doubt was cast on the story, .the speaker retorted; ' - "Folks also refused to believe the report of the Audacious disaster be- cauve the authorities did not issue tb news, but now you know It Is true." In support of his . story lie pointed to the fao.t that since the raid oc curred, extra troops have been hurried to the east coast; all the main rail . rouds to London and the midlands liave been- protected by -additional trenches and wire entanglements; local residents had been organized into com panies of mounted and foot special constabulary with full Instructions to deal with the population and prevent panic, and a complete list of food tuffs, horses, vehicles, arms and am munition had been compiled for use In emergencies. All the east coast, he declared, in in dally expectation of a second visit from the kaiser's legions, and prep arations are complete for the emer gency of a successful German landing. "Canned Music" Lures Beasts to Deatk Verily, a Phonograph Hath Charms Selections Must Be' Made With Care and: Ragtime, It Is Declared, Will Not .Do at All. ' ; ;v Silver Lake Or., Dec. 21'. "Oh, Don't You Remember Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt?" From a Juniper forest on the shores of Thorn lake, the grand old melody swells on the aromatic breeze. The moon showers" a silvery 'radiance through the tree tops, and the rustling of the boughs is only enough to soften the scratcbings of the phonograph whence the music comes. "Ye-ow-oo-oo; ye-oo-oo-oo; we-u-u." The love cry of a cougar gurgles an answer to the plaintive appeal of the mechanclal musician. "Ye-ow-oo-oo; ye-joo-oo-oo ; we-u-u." A rifle cracks, spitting a tongue of flame from nearby underbrush. The cougar Is dead, lured to Its doom by the voice of a sweet singer, whose sandaled feet rest on a cat-skin In a Fifth avenue drawing room,, and by the wiles of! a trapper to whom The aides of four coyotes, one boo cat and a cougar, are offered by Lloyd S. Allen, owner of the Allen ranch of 1000 acres near Thorn lake, as evi dence that he can lure wild animals to their deaths by phonograph music. Moreover, Allen declares that not any music will do. Ragtime, he says, Is no good for the purpose.. The bob cat "fell" for a "southern melody. "An nie" Laurie," and; "Ben Bolt," got the cougar: Sousa gets credit for two coyotep; Paderewskl for one and Kubelick for one. Allen says it Was by accident that he discovered the hypnotizing effect qt' "phonograph music on wild animals, but he gives assurance that he is go ing to enlarge his : stock of records and pursue his hunting systematically. MANY PEOPLES OF MANY MINDS MAK E UP BALKAN STATES Peninsula Has as Many Tongues as Broke Out at the Tower of Babel, It may be noted by the date of this story that It .was written before the raid last. Wednesday on Scarborough, Hartlepool and Whitby by German cruisers. For obvious reasons, It could not be cabled. There is no confirma tion of the story told by the east coaster of the loss of a German trans port, and.lt has not been hinted be fore that the German raid npon Yar mouth was of such a serious nature. Tha German raiders escaped in this Instance, as they did Wednesday. ' Coupling for fir hose that are t'-Mly locked by a quarter turn have been invented by a Massachusetts man. Washington, Dec. 21. -Some of the leading characteristics of the Balkan region, that part of the world 'which a confusion of races, languages, cus toms, nations, religions, and tradi tions has caused to be the centuries long theatre of seething,- incessant re ligious and racial struggles are de scribed in a statement by the National Geographic society. It says: "Many peoples of many minds meet on the fringe between the east and the west, the Balkan peninsula, and each of these peoples clings tenacious ly to its language, its traditions, its religion, and to the manners and ways of its kind. Several families of the Slavonic people, each with its own tongue and patriotism, are there. The Turks, the Greeks,, and a sprinkling of Germans, together with many frag mentary types of peoples?"- from west and east, survivals of nations and tribes of yesterday's history, add to the kaleidoscopic bewilderment. The Balkan lands are a Babel through which no ordinary 'master of tongues' may hope to go without the aid of an occasional Interpreter and much use of Sign language. Patriotic to the Cor. "In the hearts of most of these peo ples, no matter how small their land or how little the world may know of them, there is kept alive a f irey con sciousness of their nationality. The Montenegrin is as devoted a native of his small bowl of a country among the mountains as is the citizen of our own United States, the difference being, where any, that! the Montenegrin re minds himself much more often of his nationality and its advantages than doen the average; American. "With the sharp racial, tribual and lingual divisions- of the Balkan peo ples, religious divisions exert a far more powerful distinctive Influence there, than is the case with us. Greek orthodox, Roman Catholic, various Protestant confessions, and the Mo hammedan faith 4iave served to segre gate these peopl? from one another. Development Za Ketarded. "All the energy, destruction and clamor which the friction between Us many contrary types of people and Ideals has occasioned, has retarded the development of the Balkan peninsula so that it is some generations behind the achievements of the west; and the traveler in the byways of this coun try has had to put up with those same inconveniences which he would encoun ter in undeveloped Asia. The roads In the Balkans are bad, in most cases mere cattle and; footpaths. The vil- largest are squalid, ill-kept, without improvements, without comforts, with out conveniences. xne means or transportation are uncertain; the mules are undependable, the railway trains are capricious, boats move according to the tempera of their captains and the moods of their en gineers,, while the treacherous roada make horse and cart a risky adventure. Furthermore, the law and order? of much of the Balkan lands is at best a matter of considerable uncertainty. War-Bidden for Centuries. "The Balkan peninsula has been war-torn for 1900 years or more. War became a continuous experience of its people with the coming of the Romans and, undjer the 1000 years of the rule of Byzantium, when this east Roman empire did yearly outpost duty for Christendom until Its destruction by the Turk, the Balkan peoples definitely took the place which they hold today, that of being a buffer people between an upper and nether millstone. "An outpost of the west in the east. they have been everlastingly employed with fighting both the east and the west or among themselves, which baa helped, to make 'the Balkan peninsula the poorest stretch of land In Europe.'
