treatment of the subjects or citizens

in the event of war between the two
states. This article, which is without
question in full force as regards the
relations between the German empire

legislations and additions on account

sion, because he feels that in the pres
ent emergency he can act better with
out congress debating his plans and
possibly disclosing a strong minority
in opposition. But if. it is decided
that congress must specifically author
ize the arming of American ships in
order that the reserve supply of 500
guns now stored at the Atlantic coast
navy yards can be used the president
will have to act very soon.
Consuls Ready to Leave.
Washington, Feb. 17. (I. N. S.)
The German government is "perfecting
arrangements" for the departure of
American consuls still delayed, if not
detained, in Germany, the state de
partment was informed today through
Spain. Secretary Lansing was unable
to sayhowever, from the information
at Hand, when the consuls would be
able to laeve.
The state department intimated
strongly that German consuls desiring
to remain in the United States as pri
vate citizens would not be permitted
to do so. This position was taken as
the result of reports that some of the
American consuls in Germany had an
nounced their intention of resigning
and staying in Germany.
Gerard to Go to Madrid.
Paris. Feb. 17. (U. P.) American
Ambassador Gerard. recalled from
Berlin, will leave Paris for Madrid

Wreath for Mr. Forbes.
It was a victory for Mr. Forbes. It
was a defeat for those foolish men and
women who elect legislators in the be
lief that they are representative of the
little man and the little interest.
But it was not a question of the
right or the wrong, so the house lead
ers said as they whipped the boys into
line behind the Forbes bill all day
Thursday and throughout this morn
ing. It was a question of politics, that
pole star that guides the steps of the
potential governors and congressmen
of this great state of ours. It would
not do, it would be absolutely ruinous
to the party, they pleaded, to permit
the legislature of Oregon to be driven
into doing anything for the interest of
the struggling people of the state by
the clamor of the "Democratic press."
Pertinent Questions Asked.
Was not Mrs. Thompson in favor 01
repealing the tax publication law?
Was not Dr. Sweeney fighting far it?
Did not Tichenor vote to overturn thj
Forbes majority report? Was not The
Journal advocating it? Did it need any
further demonstration to prove that
the party was in danger? Would tho
"organization" be faithful to its trust
if it accepted the suggestion or lis
tened to the pleading that came from
those of the other side? Of course, no:.
iySo they fixed up the Forbes bill
which looks like something new bet

a getaway with $200 in stamps and
