According to Mr. I.ang there are

Although no damage to property has

most prolonged storms of the season.
Heavy rainfall and high winds have
combined to make the weather ex

The greatest velocity attained by the
wind during J I hours was 4i miles per

rainfall for 'J4 hours ending with 5

Oregon City, Or., Dec. 21. The heavy
rainfall during the last e weeks has
caused bulges to appear in the new ,
pavement along Main street, these Ivr- '
dering on the Pelgia.ii blocks of the car ,
track of the Portland Railway, Light;
& Power company and now threaten '
to damage the hard surface. While j
employes of the Portland Railway.
Light & Power company were repair
ing the tracks recently, they were s.ir
ressfi'.l In removing some of the bulges
by using hot applications and then us
ing a weight.
C. A. Miller, city engineer, stated on
Monday that he attributes the bulges
in the pavement to the fact that the
foundation of the Belgian blocks ex
tends under the pavement about six
inches on each side of the car track, j
The action of the foundation, coupled i
with the moving sand and water be- i
neath, while the cars are passing, is
believed to cause these flaws. The
railway company will make the neces-
sary repairs at once, following a plan
suggested by Mr. Miller. !

It was learned today that spies have

The annual military tournament will
be given by the Oregon National Guard
at the Armory at S p. in., January
12, 13 and 14. 1UJ6.
The organizations participating In i
this military exhibition will Include
all of the infantry, artillery, cavalry
ami the naval militia stationed In Itii
city. The program will cover a per
iod of two hours of constant changing
set nes show ing military life and the
work now leing done by toe National
Guard and Naval Militia.
The Infantry forms the greater part
of tile organized militia. Kfflclent
infantry must always keep itself in
good physical condition, know how to
care for Itself In the field; and be
able to attack under all conditions
borh by fire and with the bayonet.
The exhibit Illustrates part of the
training necessary to secure efficiency.
The artillery with Its fire prepares
the way, supports the atttar-k and as
sists m the pursuit of the enemy. In
retreat It serves as a rallying point
for the discomforted troops, and holds
ifs place even at the risk of loss of
its guns to gain time for them to
recover.
The cavalry scours the country In
front of the arfy to secure Informa
tion and prevent surprise by the ene
my. In attack It guards the flanks
and acts mounted or dismounted as
occasion offers. In retreat It delays
the hostile advance if necessary to the
extent of sacrificing itself.
The medical corps is charged with
the sanitation of the camp, the care
of the sick, and the evacuation of the
battle field of its wounded.
The coast artillery is charged with
the care and use of the fixed and
movable, elements of land and coast
fortifications. including eub-marlne,
mine and torpedo defense.
The naval militia mans the men-of-war
that patrol the coast to prevent
the landing of hostile forces and that
meet the hostile naval force to de
termine command of the sea. In a
var of nations the naval force forms
the first line of defense.
No exhibition of this character has
even been staged In the city of Portland.
Exposing the pages of books to sun
light occasionally will prevent ohem

Cosmopolitan
according to the dictionary, means
Belonging to all parts of the world, unre
stricted socially, politically or intellectually.
According to more than a million clear eyed,
keen minded American citizens each month it
means
' The greatest collection of good reading
that can be bought."
Cosmopolitan isn't an accident.
It is the kind of magazine that is inevitable
when it is the product of men each of whom has
to his credit the summit of story-telling, information-giving
or picture-making success before
he began working for it.

he received and no official recognition
of any kind will be accorded them in
Norway.
I learn that the foreign office and
the king resented the published state
ments emanating from Ftord headquar
ters regarding Norway's attitude.
Feeling Is strong here that the mis
sion Is a failure, owing to blundering
management.
I have learned that W. J. Bryan Is
purely coming to The Hague. This
doubtless accounts for the resolution
adopted b- the Ford party opposing
Increased armament by America.
New Resolution Adopted.
The statement opposing Wilson's
national defense program almost dis
rupted the party, leading delegates
having declined their suggestion. Last
night a new resolution was adopted
declaring the peace pilgrims favored
disarmament with a single view to
peace. This replaces the former state
ment. Norwegian Journalists meeting the
Ford party declared that Norway Is
cold to present peace plans, but eager
for a decisive outcom of the war.
Progressive and socialist elements
favor peace.
Feeling Is strong here for an in
crease In the national defense to main
tain neutrality. Ford's personality is
considered captivating, but the Ford
plans are held to be. vague and mainly
a matter of boundless faith.
Split Made Ford 111.
The floating Chautauqua debating
pocietles are discussing all the prob
lems under the sun. Friction between
the newspaper men and Ford has been

fined to his cabin for a week after the

problem It Involves. He says he will

solving the problem of reducing the
stze. of engines more than Half. H-i
will elaborate his plan after hl3 peac-i

Mr. Ford is still determined on
spending all his fortune In securing
peace and disarmament.
Official Kecognltion Denied.
Last night's meeting here of the
University association wa9 Impressive
but the press treats the mission light
ly, some newspapers ridiculing the
plan and criticising Mme. Schwlmmer.
I understand the reception In other
neutral countries will be similar. No
official recognition will be given by
neutral governments, fearing mis
understandings. Though the mission of the Ford
party is Intended to show the fallacy
and injustice of secret diplomacy in
international affairs and how It leads
to war, many connected with the mis
sion believe that secret diplomacy
among Ford's counsellors is Jeopardiz
ing its success, creating friction and
rousing antagonism.
