f HE ; OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY, MAY H, 1915: DEPARTMENT STORE RECBVES GOODS IN BOND FROM THE EAST Olds, Wortman & King Pa- tronize Home Port in Mat . ter of Clearances,. . JOURNAL PLAN INDORSED BngftXonm j9rht Portland i vaght Oct v ; Japan Xda to Make Port land Port of Call. Every pound of merchandise-that en ters the port of New Tork bound di rectly to the firm of Olds, Wortman & King comes through In bond for clear ance at the Portland cuetom bouse. H. C. Wortman, a member of the firm, de clared today that the experience of his . Involves no greater cost and means ex pedition and convenience. Mr., Wortman expressed the utmost .sympathy with the movement launched by Collector of Customs ' 'Thomas C. Burke and advocated by The Journal for th fuller use of this port and the eticourasrement of mere and more direct steamship service. Without commenting' on all the fac tors that go toward Portland's 'decline during the last few years. Mr. Wort man was Inclined to wonder that the Union Pacific system has not taken up actively the question of direct and regular steamer service to the orient. : Moch of the Import goods from the far east, such as fine Bilks, is entered at Seattle and is hurried east to dis tributing and manufacturing centers of New England and New Jersey In solidi bonded freight trains! On this business the Canadian Pacific. North ern Pacific Great Northern .and Mil waukee take the haul.. What goods are absorbed in thia territory, makes up almost a negligible portion of the great import business from China and Japan. , that if negotiations could be made with one of the great Japanese ; steamship lines to make Portland a regular port of. call, a decided stimulus would be felt in the customs receipts and in gen eral prestige of the port. ; . In the meantime, however, he said Portland merchants who receive im ports should Insist that their wares be sent here In bond for clearing at this custom house. lie has found frm his experience in importing that the prac-tice-of clearing at the first port of en try la in no way an advantage and that more careful attention, greater dispatch and the ehhaneement of thei local port are Advantages -in -favor of clearing in Portland. - - , .

' - . i The program as arranged by the en tertainment eernroKtee was very good -'and the. entertainers .were encored sev eral times, w ' - President Ralph ' W. Wilbur, gave a ahort talk, before the opening number, during which time the old fashioned attention of the imperial German government with the utmost earnestness to the fact that the objection to their present method of attack against the trade of their enemies lies in the practical impossibility of employing sub marines in the destruction of commerce without disregarding these Tules of fairness, reason, justice and humanity, which all modern opinion regards as imperative.; It is practically impossible for the officers of a submarine to visit a merchantman at sea 'and examine her papers and cargo. It is practically Impossible for them to make a prize of her, and, if they cannot put a prize crew on board of her, they cannot sink her without leaving her crew and all on board of her to the mercy of the sea in her small boats. "These facts, it is understood, the imperial German government frankly admit.. We are informed that in the instances of which we have spoken time enough for oven that poor measure of safety was not given, and in at least two of the cases cited not so much as a warning was received. Manifestly submarines cannot be used against merchantmen, as the last few weeks have shown, without an inevitable violation of many sacred principles of justice and humanity. "A.merican citizens act within their indisputable right in taking their ships and In traveling wherever their legitimate business calls them upon the high seas, and exercise those rights in what should be the well-justified confidence, that their lives will not be endangered by acts done in dear violation i of; universally acknowledged international obligation, and cer tainly in the confidence that their own government will sustain them in the exercise of their rights. , ' ' ... WARNING DOES NOT EXCUSE UNLAWFUL ACT "There war recently published in the newspapers of 'the United States, I regret to inform the imperial government, a formal warning purporting to come from the imperial German embassy at Washington, addressed to the people of the United States, and stating in effect that any citizen of the United "States who exercised his right of , free travel upon the seas would do so at his peril if his journey should take him within the zone of waters within .which the imperial. German navy was using submarines against the commerce of Great Britain and France, notwithstanding the respectful but very earnest protest of his government, the government of the United States. ! . ' "I do not refer to this for the ouroose of calling the attention of the imperial German government at. this time to the surprising irregularity of a communication from the imperial German embassy at Washington ad dressed to the people of the United States through the newspapers, but only for the purpose of pointing -out that no warning that an unlawful and inhumane act would be committed can possibly be accepted as an excuse or palliation for that act or as an abatement of the responsibility for its commission. s HOPES ORDERS WERE MISAPPREHENDED . s "Lone acquainted as this government has been with the character of the imperial German government and with the high principles of equity by which they hate in the past been actuated and guided, the government of the United Mates cannot believe that the commanders of the vessels which committed these acts of lawlessness did so except under a misapprehension of the orders' issued by the German naval authorities. It takes it for granted that, at least within the practical possibilities of every such case the commanders even of submarines were expected to ; do nothing that would involve the lives of non-combatants or the safety of neutral ships, even at the cost of failing of their object of capture or destruction. It con- hdently expects, therefore, that, the imperial uerman government win dis avow the acts of which the government of the United States complains, that they will make reparation so far as reparation is possible for injuries which are without measure, an that they will, take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so obviously subversive of the princi ples of warfare for which the imperial German government has inthe past so wisely and so firmly contended. . "The government and people of the United States look to the imperial German government for just' and prompt and enlightened action in this vital matter with the greater confidence because the ? United States aqd Germany are bound together not only by special ties of friendship, but also by thes explicit stipulations of the treaty of 182o between the United Mates and the Kingdom pf Prussia. " ' Expressions of regret and offers of reparation in case of the destruc tion of neutral ships sunk by mistake, while they may satisfy international obligations, if no loss of life results, cannot justify or excuse a practice, the natural and necessary effect of which is to subject neutral nations and neutral persons to new and immeasurable risks. 'xhe imperial German government will not expect the government of the United States to omit any word or any act necessary to the perform ance of its sacred duty of maintaining the rights of the United States and its citizens and of safeguarding their free exercise and enjoyment.

If so, ; please publish ( the distance. : Sheldon L'ejeune 'holds the accepted record for throwing the baseball for distance 426 feet 9 inches, made at Cincinnati, October 12, 1910, in the annual baseball field day.

This is an indica tion of , Sheldon's great throwing power.
