JriNEUTRALRIGHTSWiLL
BE FIXED BY EXPERTS
AS GUIDE TO LANSING
Secretary of State Asks Co
operation of American In
stitute of International Law
Washington. Jan. 17. (I. N. 6.)
Announcement has been made that Sec
retary Lansing has taken steps to ob
tain the view of experts In Intematlon
al law on the rights of neutral nations
for his guidance In handling the prob
lems of the United States.
The secretary of state has asked the
American Institute of International
Law, composed of eminent publicists
of each of the 20 American republics,
to appoint a committee to study th
subject, "with the definite purpose of
protecting the liberty of neutrals from
"unjustifiable restrictions,' and 'endless
burdens." "
Secretary Lansing's memorandum on
the subject, which la made public by
Dr. Brown Scctt, president of the In
stitute, Is as follows:
Present Code Inadequate.
"At the first meeting of the Institute
laiiiereouy luieircicu vj luuni vi
.different countries, hav been fre
quently found Inadequate to meet new
i conditions of warfare, and as a result
every war hag changed, modified or
added to the rules, generally througn
Bales atads by Belligerents.
I "Writers on International law have
relied upon these priie court decision
in dealing with the subject of neutral
ity, no that they have laid down rules
i formulated ind'.rectiy from a belllger
', ent's point of view.
j "In addition to these Influences af
jfectlng a code to govern the conduct
land treatment of neutrals, lnternation
,al conferences and congresses have
'generally confided the drafting of
i rules relating o belligerents' and neu
ltrls' rights to military and naval ex
perts, who naturally approach the sub
ject from the bllllgerents' standpoint.
Thus, Judiciary decisions, text writers
a nu international agreements have
given all the advantages to the bel
ligerents, and have shown little re
gard for the rights of neutrals."

Rome, Jan. 17. (I, N. B.) "In the
region between the Sarca and the

the official announcement of the war

"In the Terraynolo valley the Aus

uary 12 without causing any damage.
"In the hilly zone north of the Sua-
gana valley our contingents had some
encounters with Austrian detachment
which resulted favorably for us.
"In the upper Cordevole valley our
artillery Bombarded and set fire to the
village of Zora, which was occupied
by the Austrlans. We put the latter
to flight. An equally successful bom
bardment resulted In the destruction
of some Austrian military buildings in
Predlo Pass.
"On ' the Carso front the Austrian

FURTHER DELAY IS SURE
alt to Prevent Putting Law Into Ef
fect Made Otrt Only Against
Mayor Albee.
With the filing In the supreme court
of a writ for the rehearing of the Jit
ney case, a peculiar situation has
arisen in regard to the Jitney ordi
nance, which may result in court ac
tion to determine who la to enforce
the ordinance.
The writ for the rehearing of tha
case was filed in the supreme court
by Arthur I. Moulton, representing
the local Chaffeurs' union! The suit
to prevent the enforcement of the or
dinance, which was later declared valid
by the 'supreme court, was made out
ouly against Mayor Albee. and, ac
cording to City Attorney Ia Roche,
the writ filed today for rehearing of
ihe rase orjly affects Mayor Albee.
Thls means, says La Roche, that the
city as awhole or any one of the com
missioners except Mayor Albee may
enforce the Jitney ordinance, without
being in contempt of court.
The ordinance specifies that the com
missioner of public utilities shall have
charge of the regulation of the Jit
neys, but Commissioner Daly says that
he Is going to take no active steps to
ward the enforcement t.ntll he is ad
vised by City Attorney La Roche.
The filing of the writ prevents the
mayor from enforcing the law until
the snpreme court acts on It, and as
Commissioner Daly has refused to
take action until advised legally, tem
porarily, at least, there will be no en
forcement of the law, with the excep
tion of the drivers registering and tak
ing an examination as to fitness.
ROCK MUST BE BROKEN
Men Refusing Work Will Re Put
Under Guard at Rock Pile.
Portland's unemployed refusing to
break rock for their food and lodging
are to be made to break rock under
gMard.
Arrangements were made by Com
missioner Baker and Park Superintend
ent Convill with the county commis
sioners this morning to open up the
Kelly Butte rockpile, and it la planned
to have every man who refuses to
work arrested and made to work.
"About 6u per cent of the men who
have been (riven food and lodging
at the municipal lodgelng houae
have refused to show up for work,"
said Park Superintendent Convill this
morning. "The men can make up to $2
a day breaking rock for the city but
many 'of yietn have refused to work."'

JONES IS SLAB TO
LOSE HIS POSITION AS
SECRETARY OF BOARD
Mrs, Weatherred Said to
Have Been Told How to
Vote at Board Meeting.
Salem. Or., Jan. 17. That lira Edith
Toiler Weatherred baa .been threatened
with summary dismissal from the state
flr board If she does not vote to oust
W. Al Jones as secretary of the
board, waa positively aaaerted hare to
day. Mrs. Weatherred" was appointed by
Governor West and her term will ex
pire March 14. 1918.
It was also asserted positively that
W. H. Savage had been promised by
the Wlthycombe administration that ha
would be given Will 8. Hales place aa
head of the state training school If he
votes to supplant Jones with A. H.
Lea. Whether the governor can "de
liver the goods" In the Hale matter Is
doubted by many, however, 'ss State
Treasurer Kay and Secretary of State
Oloott will have something to say
about the training school, as members
of the board of control.
Despite tha fact that the Willamette
Valley Editorial association Indorsed
Pecretary Jones' work at a recent
meeting, there Is no indication today
that Withycombe or his advisors had
decided to change the program to de
pose him.
It is predicted that if an attempt Is
made to oust Jones there will be Inter
esting developments at the board meet
ing tomorrow.
HUNDREDS JOIN
CAMPAIGN TO
BOOST STATE
(Continued From Page One
ter writing which Is to spread tha
word of Oregon's attractions for the
tourist over the country', had begun,
gun.
A long procession of railroad men
formed in front of the Wells-Far,jo
building and. headed by the police
band, marched up Sixth street to
Morrison, circled the block around
Broadway and back to Fifth, thence
up Alder to the postoffloe again.
Postmaster Myers climbed the
steps to the box and dropped In al
letter. He wa followed by ji.aycr
Albee, Julius L. Meier, who conceived
the Idea of a letter-writing week;
Frank K. Smith, a member of the
committee: George E. Hardy, execu
tive chairman of the Chamber of
Commerce, and his assistant, M. H.
Smead, J. R. Werleln; Mark Woodruff,
publicity manager for the campaign,
ar.d others prominent in the move
ment. Then came the railroad boys. I
There were several hundred from the J
S. P. shops on the east side, the com- ;
pany bringing the men to tha Union ',
depot in a special train. Many of them
carried signs bearing legends such as j
"Ashland, the Carlsbad of America"; j
"See the Josephine County Caves."
"Coos Bay Is on the Southern Pacific."
There was a great delegation from
the company's freight depot, and prac
tically all of the men from the pas
senger department, headed by Oeneral
Paasengar Agent John M. Scqtt, James
A. Ormany, his chief clerk, and City
Ticket Agent Charles W. Stinger.
A great canvas fae simile of a letter
was carried by a squad of men. It
bore the Inscription. "Everybody,
Everywhere, U. 8. A." In tho upper
left hand corner It eaid: "From South
ern Pacific Employes, Portland, Or."
Fully 160 employes of the O-W. R.
& N. Co. came after the S. P. men,
their leaders carrying a great rectan
gular banner.
Next came an open truck filled with
mall sacks. Inside were typists writ
ing letters as the parade preceded up
the streets.
Employes from the 8., P. A 8. com
pany followed behind the truck.
100,000 lasttsrt Deposited.
It is estimated that fully 100,000 let
ters were dropped in the big mall box
this noon. This Is Portland's share
alcne and In the state at large letters
are being mailed by the thouaand as
well.
Motion pictures taken today and at
the noon-day letter mailing celebra
tions during the rest of the week, will
be shown in all parta of the country.
Tglvlng Oregon as a tourist stata an
other desirable form of publicity.
Tomorrow's rogram will be in
charge of the Rotary club. W. C. T. U.
and East Side Business Men's club.
The Rotarlans. to make things inter
esting, will send up three balloons
bearing Rotary pennants. Finders of
the bags Will be given prlxes, which
have been donated by RotaHana. na
follows: Five dollar hat, pair of
the streets, many of the organisation's
members will not be able to march;
but arrangements have been mads for
a large commute to mail their letters
for them.
Wnesday the Adclub and
nans win oe in cnarge; j nursaay. the
i rrogresrlva Business Men and Cfeam-
her of Commerce; Friday, the Realty
board and state societies; and Saturday
will be given completely over to the
children of the public schools
Despite the wide publicity given to
Utter writing week a misapprehension
apparently still exists in many minds
as to Its purpose.
Letter writing week is planned to
get tourists to vlalt Oregon. It Is not
Intended as a campaign to Induce set
tlers or workers to tome to the state.
Knowing the value of th tourist
dollar th movement Is one to bring
summer visitors to see th natural
beauties of Oregon on their vacations,
instead of going to other places.
The campaign is no ' on and every
Oregonian is urged to sharpen h's pen
cil and get busy with some letters to
friends snd acquaintances In 'other
parts of the country, pointing out how
desirable a place Oregon is to vlalt
during the vacation period of lilt.

Calls Blockade of
Germany a "Sham"
London Bally BCall Says If Allies Are
Wis Tney WQ1 Fnt Blockada om aa
American Baa la.
London. Jan. 17. (J. N. 8) Tha
Dally Mall, in an editorial Saturday
morning, continues Its agitalon agalnat
what It terms the "sham blockade," of
Germany.
"The British nation." it says. 'Is now
face to face wRh the fact that the so
called blockade of Germany Is sham.
If the allies are wise they will lose no
time In putting tha blockade on an
American basis so that American legal
rulings and precedents may be cited In
out behalf. Tha first step Is for Oreat
Britain. France and Russia Jointly to
declare a blockade of tha tntlre Ger
man coast."

When S. Newman of 128 First street
found himself encumbered with a com
plete moving picture outfit, the Idea
of moving It stood out strongly In his
mind. He had no theatre, and there
fore no use for the big contraption.
There It stood, a "dead" Investment,
bringing In no returns. But It repre
sented a neat little sum in real cash,
and aa Newman wanted to see "In
