Representative Hadley of Washington,
whose bill ratifying the fisheries com
pact between the states of Oregon ani
Washington failed in the last congress,
is again getting the measure under way.
When introduced early in the present
congress It was referred to the Judiciary
committee, but as the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries reported
the bill before, it has been formally
transferred to the latter committee.

the calendar within a short time.
On the senate side a similar bill intro

indefinitely postponed, with the consent
of the senator, following the death of

opposed to ratifying the compact, and
Senator Chaqiberlaln was not disposed
to press the bill after the deaUi of his
colleague.
Senator Chamberlain has looked into
the question of . the effect of indefinite
postponement under the rules of the
senate, and has found that the bill may
be revived. In view of the fact that the
Hadley bill is on its way from the house,
however, no action may be asked in the
senate until the house bill reaches it.

Railway Mail Service Defended
Washlngtan, Jan. 21. General denial
of all charges against the administration
of the railway mall service has been
entered before a subcommittee of the
house postofflce committee by W. L
Denning, superintendent of the railway
mails.
He. asserted that the service has not
deteriorated and employes have not been
arbitrarily treated. Reports on unworked
mall Bhow improvement over two years
ago, taking the service as a whole, he
said, and clerks in most cases report
delay in distribution due to delayed
trains.
The most Important train between New
York and Chicago missed connection

in the first three months of last year.
he' testified, making a delay of 24 hours
in mall for the Pacific coast.
Mr. Denning denied that there have
been wholesale reductions in salary or
increase of work, and made explanation
of reductions caused by reorganization.
Kffort has been made everywhere to
give the benefit of transfer to efficient
men, he said, but In some cases clerks
who insisted upon remaining upon the
line where they were working have had
to take decreased .salary
Appeals Ordered in All Depend

Married After May 18.
Washington, Jan. 21. (U. P.) Men of
draft age married since May 18, 1917,
should not be exempted from selective
service, Provost Marshal General Crow
der announced today.
He instructed government agents to
appeal to district boards all cases in
which local boards have granted de
pendency exemption to men married
after May 18.
At the same time, Crowder rilled that
no draft registrants will be permitted to
enlist, in the armies of the allies, pending
call to this country's flag.
The witness denied, that the depart- J JrW Kin u.. x,. .

been a single instance of intimidation
of employes.
Resignations from the service are less
frequent than in former years, he de
clared, and are less than in private em
ployments. Average pay of clerks has
risen from $1164 In 1910 to $13.
Would Draft Men Up to 62
Washington, Jan. 21. (I. N. S.) The
most drastic war measure yet proposed
in congress was submitted this after
noon by Senator McCumber of North
Dakota when he introduced a bill au
thorizing the drafting of all males over
18 years of age and under 62 years of
age. He predicted such a measure
would be necessary before the end of the

and with flour in Its hold forming sort
of bulkhead, the steamship Armenia, In
a fnidnlght attack, made its way to a
port of safety and saved all the men
and the. greater part of Its cargo.
Exciting incidents of the attack were
made public Sunday by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, taken from -the report of
the commander of the vessel. Chief
Boatswain's Mate Stief Homak, XT. 8.
N., in charge of the gun crew, is com
mended by the secretary for maintain
ing discipline, and devotion to duty.
Yet sel Was TJsder Cos to y
The Armenia, under convoy, was pro
ceeding through the war zone, when at
midnight the wireless brought news of
the torpedoing of another vessel In the
zone. The commander of the gun crew
ordered his men to keep a sharp look
out, to avoid the use of speaking tubes
and call to the bridge if a submarine
were sighted.
"With my binoculars, the commander
of the guards reports. I picked up
light on the port beam. I sang out to
the mate, but got no answer. I called
a second time. Just as the words came
from my mouth I saw a large stream
of water and rubbish shoot into the
air. about 150 feet; a shot came for
ward. I imagined I saw one of our gun
platforms go up into the air and I got
to thinking of the three men on watch
who must have been blown into the air
with it. The first words I got out of
my mouth were: 'My God! She is hit.
Engines Are Left Banning
"The captain of the ship came , out of
the chart house just at this time, and
made a rush for the alarm bell, after
telling the mate to shut down the en
gines. All the gun crews were told to
stick to their guns and look for a second
torpedo and not to wait for orders to
fire if anything came in sight. Run
nlng down the port ladder, I met one of
the officers of the ship, who exclaimed
'Why doesn't some one stop the
engines?"
"It was my intention then to go
down Into the engine room myself,
when I noticed spotlights blinking about
the deck and a scramble for the boats.
Only a few were excited, in fact the
majority were very cool. X shouted to
keep the spotlights off or we would get
a second torpedo and also told them
not to mind the boats but to save the
ship.
Torpedo Hole Is Flogged
"Coming back to the bridge we saw
that the men from some of the lookout
posts were getting ready the boats and
that the armed guards were standing
by their guns. A collision mat with
weights and canvas had been placed
over the torpedoed hole. Flour in the
hold had formed a skin that kept the
water from going forward, though it
had flooded the ice box and store room
The explosion had knocked down three
of the lookouts on the gun platform.
The mast head lookouts slid down the
back stairs so fast I thought they had

National Censor Says Some Still Willing
to Endanger Troops, Beveal Secrets,
Poison People Methods Are Shows.
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 21. (U. P.)
"There are still newspapers that are
willing to endanger lives of troops,
reveal military plans and secrets, and
poison the people."
This declaration was made here by
George Creel, federal news censor, . be
fore 200 delegates attending the Ohio
city editors' convention.
"The announcemeut of the arrival of
our first troops in France," Mr. Creel
said, "even while others were still In
the danger zone, came from the bribing
of a telegraph operator.
"The cruel lie that our troops were
attacked by submarines was the work of
a correspondent in search of a "story
and a British court of Inquiry expelled
him from the fleet.
"This war Is not going to be won," he
continued, "until its prosecution is made
part and parcel of every individual life
until it is master of our every thought
and action. And this overwhelming
consciousness of duty Is not going to be
driven home until the press returns to
the historic mission and again takes its
place as a great educational interpret
tive and commanding force in the naV
tlonal life."
New Ice Caves Are
Found Near Klamath
Klamath Falls, Or., Jan. 11. A num

miles southeast of this city recently by
John D. Howard, George Howell and John
Cox, who have spent some time inves
tigating the natural wonders of that
region.
Twenty-eight caves have been visited
in all, and the men are convinced that
many more are still to be found. Many
curious natural bridge formations have
also been discovered. They are capable
of holding tremendous weight.
Writings by the ancient Indians or the
prehistoric races have been found. The
characters are believed to be of an
oriental nature and are not understood
by any of -the Indians now residing in
this section. Some of the pictures found
show ships with both sails and oars.

The secretary also would have the

"The many demands for navy crews

Germany Yield To
Americas Peace Aims?
"The key to the, Temple of World Peace is in the hand of President Wilson," said Maxi
milian Harden recently to an American correspondent in Germany and many people through
out the world think that the key was fitted in the lock when the president restated America's
war aims to congress on January 8th.
Taken together, remarks the Chicago Tribune, the statements of war aims by Lloyd
George and President Wilson are "an unescapable challenge to the governments of the cen
tral Powers and what perhaps is much more important to the consciences of their peoples."
The New Yorker Staats-Zeitung says that "Germany's spokesmen have been insistent that
their opponents in the war state definitely and concretely what they aTe fighting for. It is
now the Central Powers' move and they should! be equally willing to restate their war aims
as unequivocally as the United States and Great Britain have stated theirs."
Throughout the length and breadth of America, the president's speech has been
warmly applauded and indorsed. In the capitals of the countries allied with America in
the war, its reception has been no less cordial, as shown in the leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST
for January 19th. This article covers four pages and gives the result of a searching examination of the
newspaper press of the world, including Germany, upon America's war aims as outlined in the President's
