voluntarily prepared the following
Statement:
l "To the Editor of The Journal In
' .the Issue of the Oregonlan of May 15
there ' was published a list of suits
I "entered and Judgments obtained against
' ,A. A. Muck, candidate for nomination
I as Republican commissioner for Mult
nomah county.

i tions by Macdonald Potts against A. A.
' .'Muck, one for $191.90 and the second
' for f 46.0a, In justice to Mr. Muck, let
'"me explain these two suits. On May 7,
110, William Eatock applied to The
.Journal for a route as carrier boy In
,$hs St. Johns district.
Salt Against Surety.
. "It Is necessary, before any boy is
"given a route, that he shall secure a
bondsman acceptable to The Journal
for the proper performance of his car
.rler contract. In a desire to help Eat
pek, Mr. Muck signed his bond and Eat
' pek began to deliver papers. On the"
S2d day of OctobeV, same year, Eatock
owed The Journal a balance of $191.90.
-and aa It was Impossible to obtain
payment from him, the route wan taken
away from him and efforts made to
Straighten up the account.
"After endeavoring from that date
until 'August 18, 1911. to obtain some
settlement from Eatock, suit was en
tered against Eatock and Mr. Muck
'waa joined as surety. Before the suit
-tame to. trial Mr. Muck came to the
'Attorney's office and waiving the pro
test of Eatock that The Journal ac
counting was not correct, -gave his note
'for the full balance due, explaining at
the time that he felt sure The Jour
nal's claim was correct and as he had
- gone on the bond he would do his part
And pay the bill.
':" Haa Paid Over $150.
"Mr. Muck made monthly payments
"on the amount of $195.60 reducing the
total to $46.05. This balance hung fire
itor some time and it was in order to
'hasten the payment of this amount
that suit was entered to recover on the
'balance of the promissory note. No sar
, lous effort has been made to levy
ijudgtnent.
? "Mr. Muck's attitude In all our ne-
gotlatlons showed a willingness to pay
the full obligation, though It waa a
' surety obligation, his temporary Ina
bility to do so being the sole cause
. for the balance due.

Belligerents Talk Peace.
Paris, May 16. (I. N. S.) A strong
wave of conciliation is sweeping over
the belligerents. At no moment since
August, 1914, has there been so much
peace talk and never before has the
peace talk been so devoid of -flamboyant
language or so much impregnated

conclusion than the foregoing can be

NO CHANCE NOW
FOR NAVY YARD
ON COLUMBIA
(Gontlmid From Pace One)
efforts to the plan for a great navy
yard.
For a submarine base, the situation
Is different. There is a real chance
for that, as heretofore stated. With
two such bases recommended for the
western coast, the prospects for the Co
lumbia are enhanced. The Columbia,
for strategical and practical reasons, is
the logical place for one of these sta
tions. The southern California coast,
in striking distance of the Panama
canal, stands out as the -natural loca
tion for the oter.
Another factor entering into all such
work is the cost The submarine arm
ot the navy has assumed new impor
tance with the lessons learned abroad,
but the mounting cost of defensive
measures makes congress wary ot un
necessary expenses, and it has been
suggested that congress will look with
favor upon the elimination of large In
vestments in lands for government use.
Locations are likely to be favored, other
considerations being equal, where the
first cost of the lands needed are not
exorbitant, and the tender of a site
free of cost or at minimum expense
would be welcomed.
Officials of the navy department
flirther point out that in time to come,
an Indefinite but not distant day, one
or perhaps two new navy yards will be
needed on the Pacific coast ' This
looks - forward to the growth of the
navy and the corresponding need for
new construction, docking and supply
facilities for superdreadnanghts. It
will then be easy to develop the sub
marine base Into a complete navy yard
If the location be otherwise adaptable.
IT aval Base la Pntrar.
So there is reason for believing that
with a submarine base at the mouth of
the Columbia, that location will have
the inside track for a complete navy
yard when the day for new navy yards
arrives. The data already gathered
OWER

makes such a strong showing that the
ultimate location of a complete naval
base on the great northwest waterway
becomes a safe prediction, when a sub
marine base is once secured.
It will then provide an optical dem
onstration for naval officer The per
sonnel of the navy will -he provided'
with practical foresight as to what can
and should be done in the development
of the Columbia station.
Congressman McArthur says he is
convinced that the disposition of con
gress to deal with the matter fairly
and to consider the matter upon its
merits, evidence of which is given by
the promises of the chairmen of the
naval committees of both houses to
grant hearings at which the Oregon
delegation may appear. He1 intimates
that politics is being played W trying
to make it appear that Oregon senators
and congressmen have not been suffi
ciently sealous.
Delegation Stands Together.
"There is no politics In this matter,"
he said, "and members of the delega
tion, regardless of party, are ready and
willing to do anything within their
power to secure the desired results.
Members of the delegation are sincere
In their support of this measure and
are doing everything possible regard
less of these underhand" attacks." .
Mr. McArthur made it clear that it
is a submarine base that he regards ss
presenting a practical issue for which
the delegation can work with prospects
of success. , j " -
