Two ships, the Andalusia and Maya chl Mara of the Waterhosse fleet max hare to go to Tacoma to load because of congestion of Seat, tie -waterfront terminals. The Louise Klclsen, In December, -was com pelled to go to Tacoma because of congestion of oriental shipments and the salmon pack taking np ter minal space in Seattle. Conditions will be normal early In February, say Seattle dork officials. Present conditions are dne to banching of oriental freighters, they explain. The above dispatch adds strength to the campaign for larger nse of Portland harbor by the government. The' regular business of Pnget Hound is so congested that vessels are delayed in discharging cargo and delays of this kind constitute a fatal indictment against a port. The Portland Chamber of Com merce has received word that emergency efforts are being made by Seattle interests to provide cargo handling facilities for all business that delays might otherwise divert to the Columbia river. We will not , get a pound of . business that Puget Sound can keep us from get ting and our main dependence is In showing the1 government and In dependent lines that by consigning vessels to the Columbia river de lays and the cots Incident to delay will be eliminated, said Secretary Dodson. Official Announcement Declares Step Is Taken to Protect People in Vladivostok. Toklo, Jan. 16. (U. P.) Japanese warships have been dispatched to Vladivostok for protection of allied in terests there, according to official an nouncement today. The action follows long continued appeals from Japanese and other citizens in the Russian port for adequate protection, not only, to their own lives and property, but to great quantities of allied munitions and supplies there. Desultory fighting between the Bolshevikl and Cossacks has been in progress ln and around the city for weeks. Congestion on the trans-Siberian rail road and general demoralization of transportation incident to the internal difficulties in Russia is reported to have resulted in unprecedented tying up of supplies at Vladivostok. The Bolshevikl have been making desperate efforts to commandeer this material, much of which had been ordered by the old monarchist regime. A member of the naval staff. In an Interview today, declared that communi cation with Vladivostok had been al most cut off. This, it Is presumed, has tened the orders sending warships. Protection of allied interests in Siberia, he said, is Japan's responsibility, while the other allies are fighting the battles in Europe. No Japanese will be moved to Siberia for the present, ie said. General Carpentiere Dying in New York New York. Jan. 16. (I. N. S.) Gen eral Horace W.

Hindenburg has given In to Chancellor Hertling re gardlng the situation in the east in re turn for being girejr -a free hand in the west. The field marshal, it was stated will be ab absolute dictator in all ques tions affecting the western front. Just what poller RerUlng will pur sue ln regard to the proposals with Russia, was not msfle clear. It is be lieved here, however, that he will frown on the plan of the military leaders, which contemplated extending Germa ny's frontiers. Hertling is reported to favor the establishment of German vassal states ln lieu of the military leaders' plans. Split Over Conference Advices received here showed that a split had developed over the Brest- Litovsk conference. The supreme mili tary command and the government were at loggerheads over the way that an nexations should be demanded. A dis patch quoting the Leipzig Volksseltung says: "Of course the controversy is not one between annexationists and non-annex-atlonlsts, for both sides agree that . an nexations ought to be made. The struggle Is how the annexations are to be attained. The supreme army command Insists on the removal of the German frontiers to the eastward on the plea of the necessity of making them secure, while, apparently, the government would like to secure this object by a round about way, that Is to say. by the cre ating of German vassal states. 'It Is a controversy between adherents of avowed annexation on the one hand and of disguised annexation on the other." Chancellor von Hertling will make his delayed speech to the reichstag main committee in a few days, according to the Cologne Volkszeltung. The paper states that It is not yet decided just how far the chancellor will go In replying, to the speeches of President Wilson and Lloyd George on war alma Admiral von Tirpltx. according to dis patches received here today, addressed a big meeting of the German patriots' league ln Berlin 'yesterday, urging against any peace move at this time. 'We have arrived at the most critical period of the war." Von Tirpltx Is quoted as saying. "England and America have begun a concerted peace offensive. If we would conserve our world position we must not take a renunciatory peace because England is ready to demand It. In this critical time we place our faith in, the kaiser, Hindenburg and Luden dorff." Berlin Policy Unchanged Amsterdam, Jan. 16. (U. P.)

President Wil son will accept the resignation. It was officially announced today. While the reason officially given for Willard's resignation is that his presi dency of the Baltimore c Ohio railroad demands his entire attention during the present railroad transformation under government control, his friends declare Wlllard was discouraged with the man ner ln which war work was being con ducted. He requested his release as chairman of the war Industries board shortly after testifying before the senate military committee that laclr of preparation de layed the government's war work early after the war with Germany began and lack of coordination ln the war govern ment has delayed the work since.
