X MASON ' ; - Former JKuropean Mamrrer for the United Press. New York, Jan. 9. The most closely guarded secfet of the European war Is ai secret no longer. ciple f the German 42 centimeter guns. Lord Haldane. lord chancellor of England, announces that English experts are now . engaged In making mortars aa good as the Germans'. To be sure, the only present use any of the allies can make of the monster. weapon is at the Russian siege W Przemysl. For field operations smaller pieces ire more serviceable. The "42's" supreme value Is for fortress bombardment. Just 'now no fortre&a is being attacked, with the exception of Przemysl, and at this place the Austrians' stubborn1 resistance has been possible only because the Rus sians have not yet revolutionized their mortars, as have the Germans. Later, however, there may. be a fur ther demand for the big guns, especial ly when the Slavs encircle Cracow. The western , allies doubtless are counting, on their part, on .using the 42's" to shatter Hhe Germans' Rhine defenses, if the kaiser is ever driven out of France and Belgium. With such weapons in the hands of their enemies, the Germans' scientifically constructed rings of fortifications at Strassburg, Germarsbeim. Mayence. Coblenz, Co logne, Wesel and Metz would be as vulnerable as the Antwerp, Mauberge anil Liege forts were before the Teu tonic fire. How ions: the allies have known the basic principle of the Teutonic inven-' tion is unknown and it is impossible to determine how the secret was re vealed to them. The guns have been so closely guarded that it is said only Kfrupp engineers have been permitted to man them. Hence the discovery of tKeTf" mui'iiamam1" tntmntii- espionage probably was out of the question. It is likely, too, .mat the Germans took care to demolish any of the giant weapons they Were forced to leave be hind them when rereating. Nevertheless, (here is no doubt that the allies know now the Krupps were able to assemble a gun capable of de stroying the strongest 'modern fort with six well placed shells. No nation could keep secret for long detailed Information concerning' such an epochal advance In artillery making, but the allies' skill in solving the mystery of the 42 centimeters within five months is a tribute eithar to their luck, their persistence, or fcoth. ,..'

WILSON EXPLANATION OF IRRIGATION CONGRESS APPEARED TO CARTOONIST MURPHY IRRIGATION CONGRESS VOTES TO LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR SECURING HALF MILL TAX FROM LEGISLATURE TO DEVELOP PROJECTS Resolutions Instructing Committee to Act Adopied With ' Enthusiasm Following Stirring Speech by J, N. Teal) Asa .B. Thomson Will Likely Be Reelected President. The Oregon Irrigation congress was fired with favor for a state tax to carry on irrigation at this morning's session. While the resolutions committee of the congress in secret session wrangled tver the advisability of petitioning the legislature to levy the tax, the main body, outstripping its committee in courage and determination, unanimous ly voted: "That the resolutions committee be directed by this congress to bring in a resolution petitioning the legislative assembly to levy a tax; of $pe-half mill upon the general taxable property of the state of Oregon to be expended in the reclamation of arid lands, and.; that theleglslature also formulate a broal and continuous reclamation, policy for the stater. . . ; . The motion carried with a storm of applause. There was not a. negative vote. Action upon the proposition by the legislature will mean the -placing of Oregon on a basis In reclamation en terprise where the state can be more or less Independent of government ap propriation, and can, at least, show to the federal government previous ap-i propriatlon of state money for every , dollar asked in federal aid. The outburst of the irrigation con gress came after an address by Joseph N. Teal, pioneer in the development ac tivities of Oregon and chairman of the state conservation commission. If the legislature meets and con fines Itself to a negative policy," de clared Mr. Teal, "If -it is content with cutting salaries and drawing per diem. then adjourns, it will be a failure as a legislature, even though our' taxes be reduced." . . Five hundred thousand dollars a year, he recommended, should be spent In carrying on reclamation enterprise; it would be .an amount not felt by any taxpayer; it would commit the state to a definite self-dependent policy of meeting, the government half way; It would result in commerce, schools, homes development. Turn Prom the Past. "Turn away from the past." advised TeaL "Oregon never got her fair share of the reclamation fund; Oregon never will. "It is water gone over the wheeL To hope for anything because Oregon hasn't had her fair share is like attend ing a coroner's inquest or a wake.
