SEATTLE, WASH., Jan. 18. 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

congestion of oriental shipments
and the salmon pack taking np ter

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

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.

According to the dispatch. Hindenburg
has given In to Chancellor Hertling re

west. The field marshal, it was stated
will be ab absolute dictator in all ques

Just what poller RerUlng will pur

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."

While the reason officially given for

Wlllard was discouraged with the man

He requested his release as chairman
