long enough for the boat to hit on the
end of the submerged Jetty.
Very soon the bottom of the vessel
was being washed away and It was
evident to those aboard that the boat
was wrecked.

There was no confusion among the
members ( the crew. The survivors
say that they had every confidence
that tliey would be rescued.

.with him the mascot dog.. The big
dog, wrapped in the' flag, made a load
of . freight which was almost more
than the breeches-buoy could carry;
but Mr. Uoller pall that he would not
have left without them. ' '
Most of those who were " rescued
from the Claremont were without or

Berlin, via The Hague, May 22. U.
P.) The diplomatic crisis between the
United. States and Germany passed to
day. An acute situation developed yes
terday. But differences have been .ad
justed and - tonight I am informed on

Confidential communications of the
highest importance passed all week be
tween Berlin and "Washington. The
most critical" stage in these confiden
tial exchanges were reached yesterday.
Exactly what occurred, obviously can
not be divulged; But what may be said
to have been the real crisis was
reached following the personal visit
paid Ambassador Gerard yesterday by
Herr von Jagow, the German foreign
secretary and the conference & few
hours later between the American am
bassador and Under-Secretary Zimmer
man of the German.- foreign office.
The work of drafting the German
reply to the American -note went for

the reply will be deMvered to Wash

At 5 o'clock, the. forest. service re
ported that a large stream of lava and

large as that of yesterday, and headed
for Hat-Creek valley. Half an hour
later came a second flood, little less
in volume than the first- . , t :

evident today - that . serious Anglo
American . friction hardly can be
avoided. . AH unofficial negotiations
between the state department trade
advisors ' and the "'British embassy
were broken off tonight.' The depart
ment issued the following statement'
"In view of differences, which have
arisen in the informal and -Unofficial
conferences between Sir Richard
Crawford,' the commercial advisor, of
the .British embassy,- and Robert F.
Rose, and W. .B. Fleming, the trade
advisors of the department of state,
who have been in a personal capacity,

United States, they -have decided that
they cannot continue the conferences
until certain of the difficulties have
been removed and they, : therefore,
have made a full report of what has
taken place, to the department of state
and will await its action."
Following, as it did, Friday's state

in effect charged the British govern
ment, through its foreign offiee, with
asserting falsely that the Unjted

SACRAMENT CLAUSE ,
IN "DRY" AFFIDAVITS
JAY CANCEL LIMiT
Purchaser of Import. Allow
ance Must Swear, to. Re
ligious Use'of Liquor. -
Are tbey "only a -myth, those two
quarts 'of whiskey and 24 quart of
beer that a law abiding' citizen was to
be allowed to import after the prohi-
union law oecomes . ejitciive i r . ,
To a man being driven by the winds
of public, opinion -upon the shoals off
the coast of an arid island, it looks like
they.were pretty much-of a myth.
" The l.problbitlon j law,; plainly says
that any law abidingcitizen may ship
in two quarts of spJrituouas,or vinous
liquors and? 2 quarts of ma.H t liquor
every four weeks if he wants to', but
Who ever heard of, beer or whiskey
being used" .for .sacramental purposes?
There is a cute; Uttle- clause-jIt Is
just a little things in the affidavit to
which eve ry.pfrson, must subscribe be
fore a. railroad company 'or' any' Other
common. carrier may deliver -a package
of intoxicants to' the consignee. This
clause says: r "That said (whisky or
bear or wine, as the 'case may' he) is to
be used for .aacraznantal . purposes
only."
s Attorneys - who have been running
their eyes over the new dry law say
that such a clause-must' be a part of
every : affidavit, made by a, person re
ceiving a-shipTnent j-Of liquor after
January lj 1916., They say it looks to
them like : intoxicants r cannot be
shipped into the fEtate "for any pur.
poses except for; saeramentat use.
Superintendent R'. P. Hutton of - the
Anti-Saloon . league says he knew this
clause was-in the affidavit 'form and
he called it to the attention of Rep
resentative E. V. Llttlefield, who' was
chairman of the house committee on
alcoholic traffic. ' Mr. Hutton says he
believes the clause- means Just what it
says and that it will' be unlawful' to
import liquor -for any -hut sacramental
purposes. ' '
Judge Llttlefield was out of the city
yesterday, but Mr. Hutton said Mr.
Littlefleld contended t that the - clause
would not apply except in1 cases where
intoxicants were being" purchased by a
church or some other organization for
sacramental purposes. , .
However,-it is pointed out that only
one form of affidavit is .prescribed.
This affidavit must be signed by every
person receiving liquor from a common
carrier. ' "
"Anyone who shall swear falsely to
any matters or things contained in
said affidavit," says section 12 of the
law, . "shall be deemed guilty -of per
jury and subject, to the penalties pro
vided by the general laws of the state
of Oregon." - - " - ? '
The . next 'sentence says that' "it
shall be the - duty . of the county clerk
is each county of the state to prepare
and keepr on hand blank affidavits in
form hereinbefore set' forth." ? .
.There appears to be no provision aui
thorizing the county clerk to drop the
sacramental . clause from any . of the
affidavits.'-The county clerk is to fur
nish the blank affidavits to the agents
of -the railroads, before whom they are
lo be sworn to by the persons : receive
ing the intoxicants. - . , - -
', The more a law abiding cltisen reads
of the law the drier becomes the out
look for 191- .. The prediction is that
it is going to be a very, very dry year.
