THE OREGON DAILY ..JOURNAL PORTLAND MONDAY EVENING... MAY 3. 1915. GOVERNMENT'S OLD TIMBER' LAND SUIT IS NOW REOPE NED Litigation 1$ to Recover $300,000 From the Ore gon Lumber' Co. of Baker. CASE IS IMPORTANT ONE Issue Hir B. Appealed to the United - 8ttes lapwu Court for -. Settlement. -,The goveromen 'sold suit to Tecover IJ0O.000 for tlmbifri.and 6880 acres of timber lands in pastern Oregon from the Oregon Lumber company of Baker was reopened oday in the federal 'court when Deputy j United States, At torney; Beckman date b set. The Importance by probably will be States supreme asked ; that the trial case is; considered of the government and taken to the United court for settlement netause 1c Involves the question of whether a. man or corporation can De tried for fraud after six years when -deeds Indicating such fraud -have been 'withheld from record for that period I of time. I -; - . i : i Under the law a patent to land can 'not be attacked Ion , the grounds of . fraud after the expiration of six years. In the present base the government alleges that the defendant company . committed frauds itn securing the lands In question and concealed the fraud by not recording the fdeeds nntil six years had passed, and! asserts this action should automatically extend the time allowed for prosecution. . ; The case was first filed October 23, 11912, but by agreement was put over ' pending a settlement of a similar case in .another; district Which carried the Itame point. Thet case, however; was determined on other points. The body i of the complaint charges that the com pany secured lands by use of dummy i entrynien and later lumbered the lands i so procured. Among i the officials .named as offlcersfand co-defendants is i the late David "Eecles WAR WlLtkiLAST FOR YEARS, BELIEF OF HEAD ; - OF THE (UNITED PRESS j : Contlnued Kront Page One.) eliminated "every consideration -contin- 'gent upon early peace. With this point of view., Europe especially France and Kngland Is dumbfounded at America's insistent peace talk and her reluctance to accept the situation as it exists and to readjust business accordingly. Eu rope has accepted ithe worst as a proba bility a war of from two -to seven years and at the same time is pre pared to be happlily ' surprised should the trouble terminate earlier. -y "The Impression Is general In both England and France ! that a consider able force is meddling in this country n the direction of early peace. Such - movement is regarded as Imperti nence. In. purely- military circles. It is regarded as pro-German. To say that It Is resented is putting it mildly. Peace in the near future, on any basis likely to be acceptable to Germany, is unthinkable in France and England. Neither feels that it has yet suggested what It can do In a military way, under a test. Both nations admit that Ger many secured the jump at the outset of the war and still holds the advan tage. France's army today Is undoubt edly one of the greatest fighting ma chines tn the field, and it is in splendid contrast to the force mobilized by the French last August. France ' insists on eliminating the memory of her un satisfactory showing at the outbreak of hostilities!! j aronKlflHtarlsm at Stake. "England feels that the ability "of a democracy to exist and to rise to an emergency without compulsory mili tary service, and without maintaining a tremendous professional army. Is on trial. She has spent nine months per fecting a citizen array which she be lieves will prove greater than any pro fessional army, , but she knew this army must prove her claims for, it. Even advantageous terms now would not tempt her to a peace with the strength of this citizen army unproved. "Statements that Germany is tiring of war, or that : there is a peace fac tion growing in the fatherland, can be. put down as idle gossip. j j "In no country Jn Europe is the war spirit more nearly universal or the sac rifice demanded : being made more Un complainingly. .Nothing but national exhaustion or a : government policy of peace at any reasonable price now, ;for the-sake of a fresh start and a war against England: alone, will stifle this feeling. i "Personalty, after three months (ob servation of the situation close j at hand, I do not believe even victory for the allies would be at the price of Germany being crushed. There is every reason to believe that even before a partial victory is secured,, the impos sibility of a successful general assault will have been learned at a staggering price and the end whatever it : may be will, come only after -the process of attrition has worn one-side to a state of exhaustion. How Is German Ammunition? "From the standpoint of the allies, the one great unknown factor today Is the extent of Germany's ammunition supply. How low? she will hold what she has already taken and what will be the strength of her offensive Is measured by her ability to continue supplying her artillery with' ammuni tion in abundance." - "MUlions"of men working for months along the .western line have evolved defenses on both sides, the strength of which is almost inconceivable. Be hind the hundreds of thousands on the fighting line now occupied-" by each army, consisting of the front trench, the second army, the reserve trench the whole connected by communicating trenches lie a series of even more lines of defense, each consisting of the same three major lines interlaced by communicating trenches and each with its miles of barbed wire entanglements in place. Reserve Trenches Waiting. "Whereas the present fighting line was chosen rather at. random just where the foes clashed and the men dug themselves in each line in the rear has been constructed carefully along natural strategic lines selected by the engineers. Intervals of from 6 to 15 miles separate these j reserve lines.' The net result is that even though successful in smashing the enemy's : fighting line and breaking through at any one point only means that the defeated force falls j back a few miles to take up a new position in a stronger trench which is already waiting. , ' ; ' Germany has not yet exhausted her reserves in the matter of men. France has developed so rapidly during ithe past six months that she will be able to get her efficiency little higher. Rus sia apparently can -contribute' nothing more than she has so far : except; in creased numbers and Von Hindenburg has shown that mere numbers cause him little worry. ;', )'' :- s, -ks,' - "There has been nothing so far to in dicate that Germany faces the proba bility of defeat in the open field. If defeated, it will probably; be only by wattage. Meanwhile the , wastage . of the" allies will , be equally heavy. If France and Belgium .can contribute nothing more, the additional weight necessary for allied victory must com. from England. ( - , -v- "Up to this time the average Eng lishman has not sensed the price he will have to pay for a crushed Ger many. He has not yet suffered as Ger many and France have suffered, ' be cause relatively his contribution ot troops has been small. Press censor ship, to which the Englishman is whol ly unaccustomed, has prevented him from getting t the , thrilr that would come from a full knowledge of the facts. Aft a result England is rapidly approaching the point where she must choose between one of three 'courses: Abolish the press censorship and. give her newspapers an opportunity. , to double or triple the present volunteer army through stirring British patriot ism, resort to conscription and in that way obtain the needed number, or make up her mind to abandon her ideas of decisively defeating Germany." ATTACKS UPON TWO AMERICAN SHIPS STIRS UL S. (Continued From Page One.) to comment upon" the attacks made against the two American ships. Secretary Bryan was wholly non committal as to action that might be taken, and refused to express an opin ion as to his view, of the situation. Ambassador Gerard at Berlin was in structed to formally call the attention of Germany to the attack made ; upon the. Cushlng, and similar instructions as to the Gulflight will probably be forwarded. . It is felt that some excuses may be offered by Germany as to the attack made upon the Gulflight off the Scllly islands, as it will probably be stated that the desire was to prevent the tanker's oil from reaching the enemy. Bombs Struck Cashing. The department, however. Is as much concerned over the aeroplane attack upon the Cushlng as In the submarine attack upon the tank steamer. Min ister Van Dyke at The Hague has re ported that one of three bombs dropped by. the German aircraft struck . the Cushlng. ' No one was killed, but some damage was done. ' The Cusbing'sname is painted con spicuously on her side.' and also, other marks of her nationality are so plain that It is extremely hard to condone the attack made on the steamer. With the receipt of a detailed account of the attack on the Cushlng from the American consul at Rotterdam, it is expected a vigorous protest will be forwarded to Germany. At the same time a thorough Inquiry will oe madj of the circumstances surrounding the torpedoing, of the Gulflight. heart failure, diaries Short of Chi cago, wireless operator, and Eugene Chapaneta, a- seaman of Port Arthur, Texas, were lost' when the tank steam er Gulflight was torpedoed; by a sub marine.

It was felt here tljat only a series of considerable successes on the part of Germany and ; Austria could give force to the Austrian proposals. Even one week ago there were many in Italy who felt that "the chances of war with Austria were slight. Today a new appreciation of the situation was generally felt and few there were who believed odier than that within a few days at most Italy would be. en gaged in the world war. That the same feeling which Is gen eral here is held in Vienna was made certain today by i news received from j the Austrian provinces along the Ital- j ian frontier. Throughout all of them, j It was reported, Austria has posted notices to her subjects advising them, in the event of Italian occupation, to ; offer no resistance and promising that ' the Italian -occupation, if such occurs. will not be for long. The opinion among Italian military J authorities is that the Austrlans. after i giving battle on the border, plan to j withdraw their forces from the Serb and Croat provinces and to make their real stand on the territory of Austria proper. This would mean a great shortening of the battle line of the Teutons.
