well as to relieve the pressure being
exerted on the British in the region of
Tpres.
- Dispatches from the front tell of
extremely bitter and sanguinary con
flicts marking the advance of the
French in the Arras region. Carency
is still in the hands of the French
t troops and further progress has been
made to the north.
In the region of Souchez, the Ger
mans assumed the offensive yester
day, but 'With these attacks repulsed,
the French poured forward in a vio-
' lent counter attack, which carried the
trenches held by them : today. Most
of the fighting in this region has been
at close quarters. - Hundreds of Ger-
mans have been killed at the point of
the bayonet.
Along the Aisne a violent artillery

GOVERNMENT WINS A
T.
E
Motion : of Frank Seufert of
The Dalles for Dismissal
Is Overruled in Court.
Frank Seufert, wealthy president of
the Seufert Brothers cannery at The
Dalies, camff into the federal court
today with a claim that the old Indian
treaty with the Yakima tribe did not
give them the right to fish on the
Oregon shore of the Columbia!, as a de
fense against charges that he, by
threats and actual violence,! has at
tempted to drive Sam Williams, ah
Indian, from Williams old fishing
grounds above Three Mile ' rapids on
the Columbia.
With this argument, backed by an
other to the effect that the treaty
really granted Indians privileges to
fish with spear and dip net and .none
other, Seufert, through his attorneys,
asked by motion for the dismissal of
the government's suit Seufert is" rep
resented by Judge A. S. Bennet and
Judge R. R. Butler of The Dalles, and
Williams, a government ward, 'by Dep
uty United States Attorney Rankin. I
When the latter point was argued by
Bennett, Federal Judge Wolverton, be
fore whom the cause is being tried,
was moved to exclaim: ,
i "To hold Indians to such fishing
methods would deny them of the right
to progress and civilization."
In a treaty made by the Indians In
1855, they are allowed , the right to
fish at their usual and accustomed
places.: .The question In point Is
whether the spot selected and fished on
for years by I Williams or other In
dians is embraced in fishing rights
of the treaty or are confined to the
northern shore of the Columbia.
The government says it does and the
defendants declare it does, not Judge
Wolverton decided that the government
had standing in court and overruled
the motion for dismissal.
Takine of testimony for the govern
ment will begin this afternoon.
In presenting his case this forenoon,
Rankin charged that Seufert Sr., his
son, or their employes, repeatedly
harassed Williams, and cut his fishing
sebw loose into the rapids at various
times. It was also brought out that
Williams is a poor Indian, and claim
ant of only one fishing place, while
Seufert owns a score. ,

WILSON'S NOTE FAIR

Firm Stand of President in
the German Crisis,
OPINIONS ARE EXPRESSED
XTote Should Meet View of Xvery Van
I Who em Interest of HatJoa at
I Heart, Asserts One. ,
. Portland men of affairs. Questioned
this morning as to their opinion of
the American note to Germany. are
agreed as to its firmness and dignity,
and express the belief that the Ameri
can people will stand as a unit behind
President Wilson in whatever, he does.
A few opinions follow:
Senator Lane I am going to stand
behind the president I believe the
people are going to stand behind him.
It's their duty to stand behind him. I
have nothing to say about the tone of
of the American note or the American
position ; 1 am going to leave that to
the president.
C. C; Colt, president of the Chamber
of. Commerce I consider the note ab
solutely fair arid right Every ioyal
citizen should stand behind the presi
dent I am for peace by all honorable
methods, and do not believe war will
come of the present situation. Every
citizen, however, should back the presi
dent to the limit
C. N. McArthur, member of con
gress I believe the people should back
up the president in whatever he does.
Vote Considered Zaix.
C. Henri Labbe, attorney, consul of
France and consular agent of Belgium
I have the utmost confidence in the
president as an American. His note
is fair and correct. T deplore those
things which make for bad feeling be
tween this country and others. The
French, in the United States have ob
served a strict neutrality, but I am
sorry to say some of the Americans
of German extraction have not been as
careful as they should be. Every citi
zen should help the United States; not
make her position more 'difficult I
read last week of a Portland man whs
gave 850 to the German Red Cross as
a means of celebrating the sinking of
the Lusitania. It' ia such things as
these that should be avoided, in order
not to "make the position of the Ameri
can nation more difficult than it now
is. The president's position in his note
Is absolutely correct.
Position. Zs Commended,
E. G. Crawford, vice president Lum
bermen National bank Both the pres
fdent's note and the position- he takes
are to be commended. I regard the
note as an able document, that most
all of us can concur in, especially
those who are' more conservative and
not hot headed, and who, do not seek
to plunge this country, into war. The
note is firm and dignified and states
the American position clearly. j
W. F. Woodward, secretary treasur
er Woodard. Clarke & Co. The note
Is firm, dignified and will be upheld
by the country generally. No matter
what the v issue finally may be, he
can. rest assured the nation will sup
port him as a unit The note" should
meet the view of - every man, woman
or child who has the best interests of
the nation at heart.
Withycombe Commends Note.
Salem, Or., May 14.- Warm com
mendation of President Wilson's com
munication to Germany was expressed
here today by Governor Withycombe.
"To my mind, President Wilson's
communication to Germany,, expresses
American sentiment with both vigor
and tolerance," said Governor Withy

ther steps were , taken. The. cabinet
members were greatly pleased at the
reception given the note by the people
of the country and this was interpreted
as f meaning that whatever j the but
come, the administration- has the solid
public sentiment' behind it v
At the war and navy departments It
was emphasized i that no effort had
been made to put either the army or
the navy on a war footing. !
The navy is better; prepared for an
emergency than I usual. The Atlantic
fleet is mobilized off New York, its
personnel complete, bunkers filled and
magazines crammed. ; Neither the war
nor the navy department was turning
a wheel, however, beyond routine.
. - . Diplomats Optimistlo.
, Diplomats are watching the situa
tion gravely, but are disposed to be
optimistic. They say: Germany would
consider long before assuming re
sponsibility for a break with the
United States.
With ChUe believing hse has been
offered an affront Germany's need
Of conciliation was never so apparent.
They pointed out that in the- past
when political expediency demanded.
Germany has never hesitated to change
her attitude and policies.
It is realized that should Germany
meet the United States openly and
frankly and declare her past policy to
be wrong, a wave Of German senti
ment would sweep America. Inci
dentally attention is called to the fact
that Holland and the United States
are on most intimate terms, and Hol

those of America,
There is ajgrowing belief that the
Dutch government may endorse Pres
ident Wilson's declaration on the sub
marine warfare. And Holland has a
fully equipped army of 400,000 men on
her frontier, only 25 miles from Essen.
If Germany was convinced that
there was danger of the United States
and Holland making common cause,
the belief was expressed in diplomatic
circles that she would consider care
fully before completely defying ' this
government ,'.
- - Speciflo Answer Xtcessary. .
". Some diplomats thought Germany
would make a conciliatory reply, dodg
ing the question of ending Immediately
the : submarine warfare, but privately
assuring the United States there would
be no further cause for complaint
Officialdom did not believe this action
would he acceptable. The demand
calls for ' a, specif io answer.
The German embassy is having dif
ficulty maintaining communication
with Berlin, statics interfering with
the wirelessj while the , cables are
barred to them. Consequently Ambas.

ates have only their personal views
of how Germany will act but are hope
ful that -a common ground of accord
is possible. .'.-.

for New York, where he' will review
the Atlantic fleet' There is not be
lieved to be ; the slightest chance of
Germany's reply being received before
next week, i .
Both President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan today plainly showed the effects
of the strain! under which they have
been working! since the Lusitania was
sunk, and it was realized that a crisis
was at hand.! Dr.. Cary Grayson, the
president's naval aide, forced the chief
executive to take a needed rest. Gray
son vetoed the suggestion that .the
president go to New York by rail to re
view the Atlantic fleet next week. This
suggestion provided for his leaving
here Monday ! night and returning im
mediately after the review on Tuesday.
Grayson, however, insisted that the
trip be made by a leisurely cruise on
the Mayflower, and that the president
take a complete rest ' He will be kept
in touch with the state department by
wireless; but will be informed of only
the most important developments.
