"The government of the United States would have been certain In attaining this end had it been determined to insist against Great Britain on the Incontrovertible rights to the freedom of the seas. (Evldentfy meaning 'had It been determined to insist upon Orea: Britain not interfering with the incon trovertible rights to the freedom of the seas'), but as matters stand the German people Is under the impression that the government of the United States, while demanding that Germany, struggling for existence, shall restrain the use of an effective weapon, and while makinc compliance with thes; demands a condition for the mainten ance of relations with Germany, con fines Itself to protests against the il legal methods adopted by Germany's enemies. Moreover, the German peo ple know to what a considerable ex tent their enemies are supplied with all kinds of war material from th United States. Does Wot Want War Extended. "It will, therefore, be understood, that the appeal made by the govern ment of the United States to the sen timent of humanity and the principles of international law cannot, under the circumstances, meet with the same hearty respon.se from the German peo ple wllch such an appeal otherwise is always certain to find here If the German government nevertheless has resolved to K'to the utmost limit of concession, It has not alone been guid ed by friendship connecting two great nations for over a hundred years, but also by the thought of the great doom which threatens the entire civilized world should the cruel and sanguinary war be extended and prolonged.

"The German government made sev eral proposals to the government of ' the United States. In order to reduce .to a minimum for American travelers $ and goods the Inherent dangers of na "'Val warfare. Unfortunately, the gov ernment of the United States decided not to accept the proposals. Had it accepted, the governnyent of the Unit- i ed States would have been lnstrument al in preventing the greater part of i-the accidents that American citizens have met with meantime. The Ger- man government still stands by its of ; fer to come to an agreement along the ne lines.

The German government, moreover, is prepared to do the utmost to confine the operations of the warfare for the rest of its duration to the fighting forces of the belligerents, thereby also insuring the freedom of the seas, a principle upon whicri the German gov ernment believes itself now, as be I fore, to be in agreement with the government of the United States. I "The German government, guided by this idea, notifies the government of the United States that German naval forces have received the following orders: In accordance with the gen eral principles of visit, searqh and de struction of merchant vessels recog nized by international law, such ves sels both within and without the area zone shall mak further ,nn,.lnn. .H,rT.i-- RV,n hUman IiVeS the shiP8 lthe methods of submarine 'warfare to!

Capture of French trenches southwest of Hau court, together with a number of pris oners, and capture and destruction of French positions weBt of Avocourt, were claimed in today's official state ment from the German general staff. The statement follows: 'Lively "combats continue on the British front in Armentiers and Arras "Near Givenchy hamd-to-hand fight ing with grenades occurred around a mine crater, where the enemy main tained a temporary footing.

"In answer to the appeal by the gov ernment of the United States on behalf of the facred principles of humanity , and international law, the German gov ernment must repeat once more, with .all emphasis, that it was not the Ger- man government, but the British gov ernment, which, by ignoring all the accepted rules of international law, ex .'.tendtd till terrible war to ih lives i and property of non-c-ombatants, hav- . ng no rega.u wnatever xor me jmer- , ro,.ogn,2erl before the war as are laid V ests and rights of neutrals and non- down in notPS presented hv the KOVPrn. combatants which, through thin meth- Jnent of tne Knited tRtf; t0 the Br.. ;.;, Od of warfare have been severely in- : lsh government December 26, 1914. and Jired.

"I desire to serve the people in the legislature for the reason that I be lieve my knowledge and acquaintance with, the many departments of our government throughout Its various ramifications, coupled with a patient and careful study of their objects and functions, the appropriations made to sustain them and some natural ability to deal with- matters of legislation, equip me to' fill the office of state representative with credit to myself and benefit to the people, locally and in the state at large," says Mr. Korell. "If I am elected, I will perform the duties of my trust fearlessly and con scientiously to the utmost of my abil ity; vote neither for nor against any bill introduced in the legislature with out first carefully and thoroughly con sidering it. I will support and Intro duce bills having for their object the development and utilization of all the natural resources of Oregon, the secur ing of full value for every dollar spent by the state; the elimination of all unnecessary commissions or boards and sinecure positions and finally, I will complete my term of office so as to cause no one to regret having voted for me."

I In stating the reasons he has for go ing to the legislature and what he ex pects to accomplish, should he be elect ed, Mr. Mann says: "My only reason in seeking the nom ination is that I may be of service to a community In which I have been a law-abiding citizen for the greater portion of my life. I am in favor of good roads and will support any bill that will be helpful to the farmer and develop the natural resources of the state of Oregon." He stands for "strict economy," "sound business principles," "protec tion for the industries we now have and the encouragement of new oe," "a full dinner pait" He favors the propagation of fish and gams and believes the Willamette river-should be closed to commercial fishing, thereby making our commun ity attractive to tourists, sportsmen andtanglers from everywhere. v JOHN F.
