War Controversy
Quieted bylPaper's Suspension.
By Carl W. Ackerman.
Berlin, via The Hague. June 22.
(U. P.) A strong indication thatthe
foreign office desires to avoid any
thing likely to interfere with the peace
ful relations between the United States
and Germany, was seen here today in
the suspension of publication of the
Deutsche Tagieltung.
Novexplanation has been offered for
the. suspension, but it is accepted that
the views expressed by Count Revent
low as to the sinking of the Laisltania
and the German American negotiations
were responsible. ; '
Revhtlew Js ; the military critic of
th njLpen t His opinions - are widely
read and -h has shown- th leafc,-en
fdency toward conciliation of any. of
the German writers. He has declared
at all times that Germany's subma
rine warfare is the imperial govern
ment strongest ' military measure and
that for the United States to expect
its - abandonment-- upon demand Is an
affront to Germany. The "Ameri
can colony considered the suppression
of the Tagxeitung of the greatest sig
nificance. - -
Grand Admiral von Tirpitz is now
formulating his suggestions as to the
reply to be made by Germany to President-Wilson's
rejoinder.
- Foreign ' Minister -von Jagow is
busily analyzing the data brought to
Berlin by Dr. Meyer Gerhard. This
includes an exhaustive" report upon the
American position and the sentiment

to the submarine warfare, prepared Dy
Ambassador von Bernstorff. An offi
cial told me today that the situation
in such that it is impossible to say
when the reply will be completed. That
it will be delayed at least 10 days,
however, appears certain. , ,

New York, June i 22. (I. - N, S.)
Sensational charges published here
last week declaring that . Dr. Anton
Meyer-Gerhard, German Red '-Cross
lecturer, was really Dr. Meyer, a Ger
man army " officer, who was In this
country to buy ammunition and to
gather secretly military - information,
were explained today by- the publica
tion In the New. York Sun of the state
ment of an American citizen who say 9
he is -the "Dr. Meyer" who was con
fused ' with Mrer-Gerhard.
The pseudo Dr. Meyer says he had
reason to believe certain United States
officials were ready ' to accept graft
to aid in the illegal sale of war muni
tions, i : From a patriotic - desire - to
learn if his suspicions were correct,
he says. "he; posed as a German army
officer on a secret mission. He ad
mitted that he had failed to substanti
ate his suspicions of graft on the part
of the United States officials, , When
the charges against Dr. -Anton Meyer
Gerhard were puMished Count . von
Bernstorff, j German ; ambassador, was
attacked as having wilfully, deceived
President Wilson 'n to j Mr, Meyer

This - information was contained in a
telegram from the secretary received
this morning by Ernest . G. Uopson.
supervising engineer of the United
States reclamation -service. ' - . .
This means that the money already
expended by the state and the govern
ment to investigate the resources of
Oregon will not have been expended in
vain, and that the mapping, surveying
and estimating of Oregon projects will
be carried out to the end. With the
work 90 per cent I completed, inability
to get the money necessary to finish
the work would have practically nulli
fied everything that; had been done. :
, One report Is already printed, a sec

will be completed within a month or
so. This S7500 is absolutely, necessary
to complete the investigations.'

follows: "Referring to your letter of
June 7. Have approved allotment of
$7S0a for completing Oregon coopera
tive investigations.'-,' ,- . : ;
Message Is Welcome.
. ; This message will come as welcome
news to the host of Oregonlans inter
ested in the-development of Oregon, as
for several weeks it looked as if the
cooperative efforts . of state and na
tional government would go - for
naught.
The plan of a cooperative investiga
tion of Oregon resources was devised
by Joseph N. Teal and Governor West
in 1912 with a view to , finding -out
definitely the extent of such resources,
that 'construction work might" be
started by federal government, state,
or private capital.
" x ne 1 genesis or tne wea was ap
proved by hecretary Fisher and Vthe
contracts between state and govern
ment i were ' signed . with Secretary
Lane's approval in 1913, the govern
ment and the state each appropriating
$50,000 for the work. . , The surveys
and estimates have been made by the
United States - reclamation service un
der, a general understanding between
state and federal governments.. .

Not long ago, however, a decision
was reached by the comptroller of the
reclamation service that no more funds
would be available for the work. In

Salem, Or.. June 22. -Governor
Wlthycombe and State Treasurer Kay
received a 'knockout blow today in
their fight with State Engineer Lewis,
when it -was discovered that the last
sentence of the' highway act passed by
the legislature of 1916, purporting to
give the chief deputy state engineer
control of the highway department, is
invalid, for the reason that it is not
expressed in the title of the act.
. . .It-was declared at the attorney gen

question that the sentence was in
valid. The discovery is believed to
destroy every possible chance that
Wlthycombe and Kay might have in
their efforts to establish in the courts
their contention that the chief deputy
state engineer, and not Lewis, should
have charge of the highway division.
The .sentence, which, it is asserted,
is eliminated because of its illegality,
is as follows:
. "All work in the department which
has heretofore been in the charge of
