BATTLE WITH U-BOAT
(Continued front Pass One)
report of Groves as follows:
'At 9 :30 a. m. Sunday, January 18,
a periscope was signtea on tne port
bow about 1000 yards distant At the
same time a torpedo was seen approach.
Ing the Nyansa. The vessel's stern was
swung clear ta avoid the torpedo and
the Nyaiza opened fire with the after
gun.
"The submarine fell rapidly astern,
then came to the surface and gave
chase. At about 7000 yards the U-boat
opened' fire with two guns, using shrap
nel and s!s.zagging in order to us both
guns at the same time. After a num
ber of shots had fallen short the U-boat
got the range and the Nyansa was hit
five times. One shot passed through
the after gun platform, through the
wooden shelter house and the Iron deck,
breaking a deck beam and passing out
through the side of the ship. One shot;
exploded in the armed guards' mess-;
room, breaking It Two shells exploded;
In the steam locomotive on deck, doing
some damage. A shot hit the stern of
the ship, but did not go through. '
"At about Il1l6 the submarine had our
range again. At the same time X had
his range and fired four shells quickly,
causing him to come broadside and keel
over "and then suddenly disappear Just
as he had our 'rane good.
"This leads me to think that he did
not quit from choice but from necessity.
"The engagement lasted two hours and
thirty minutes. -The Nyansa fired 92
rounds and the submarine approximately
W200. The gun crew throughout the en
gagement behaved coolly, doing their
duty and gaining experience which X
think will be manifested in th next at
tack. Three men ot tha gun crew had

NEGRO
LABOR
SHORT
IN THE SOUTH
NQUIRY .FOR 'CAUSE
Labor Commissioner Hoff Sees
No Reason Why Labor Will Be
Imported From South.
Salem. Or. March 2. O. P. Hoff, labor I
commlssloner. Is in receipt of an inquiry
j from the Chamber of Commerce of New j
Bern, N. C, asking for a report on negro
labor conditions in this state and what
steps might be taken to keep negro lajbor
in the south. The letter says that so
many negroes are leaving for the north
and west, attracted by better wages and
living .conditions, that a serious labor
shortage la being felt In the south.
In reply. Commissioner Hoff suggests
that If employers will proceed on the
theory that "the laborer is worthy of his
hire" and put all on an equality, Judged
by skill and efficiency, the question of
unjust discrimination will eliminate it
self. He. says :
$o Rsee Distinctions In Northwest
"So far as it has come to my knowl
edge, officially or otherwise, there is no
distinction drawn In the different indus
tries of this section of the country as
between white and colored labor, nor do
I anticipate a disposition to differentiate
upon that score in the immediate or re
mote future. Personally I am a strong
advocate of th axiom, 'The laborer Is
worthy of his hhe,' and believe that, all
else being equal as to skill, efficiency
and the ability to perform a full day's
work, the principle of equality and Jus
tice should be extended to all, regardless
of color, sex, creed or other condition. A
liberal application of this adaptation of
the Golden Rule will, I believe, automat
ically eliminate the fear of unjust dis
crimination, taking the American stand
ard of living Into consideration, and will
work no hardship or Injustice upon any
class of working people. It also deprives
the street corner agitator of a text as a
basis for his inflammatory exhortations
regarding unjust discriminations.
Baale Eight Hoar Say Fixed
"There exists, at the present writing,
no Industrial strife of any magnitude in
the Northwest, all strikes and grievances
of a general nature having been ami
cably adjusted, and(lt has Just come to
my notice that the timber and lumber
producers of the Northwest have mutual
ly and voluntarily adopted the eight hour
aay aasis to rule in the timber Industry.
thus disposing of the last of the most
important of the points of contention be
tween the employer and employe in this
section. I see, therefore, no rood reason
for the threatened Importation of labor
from the South or elsewhere to fill the
places of striking workmen, referred to
in your communication.'

"Rest positions" are the most unpop

Rifles Come Into Their. Owa
Rifles and bayonets are superseding
grenades and hand bombs in modern
warfare. A salient feature of the Ameri
can participation In the French raid at
Chemln des Dames (north of , the Alsne
river) was the fact that practically the
entire party carried fixed bayonets.
There were only a few grenade-throwers.
The British first learned the fal
lacy of depending so largely on bomb-
throwers, and Americans immediately
took up the idea, the Germans following
suit.
The enemy first Initiated srenade-
throwing on a large scale early in the
war, the same as gas. The allies then
,took up hand bombs, and they came al
most to supplant rifles andf bayonets
in conducting and repelling raids.
Then It was realised that th Ger
mans were camouflaging their Inter!
crlty of marksmanship and their dls
taste for the cold steel by Inculcating
tne use or grenades.
The historic superiority of British
and French shooting accuracy over all
other races prompted th reversion to
the rifle again.
Formerly the first -waves ot infantry
In raids and attacks carried' sacks ot
grenades, the fixed bayonets following.
But accurate bombing was very limited
as to range and- it was found, that rifles
were more efficient as. more rifle am
munition could.be carried.
- .Enemy, Too, Srming with Rifle
Grenadiers still take part in all at
tacks and raids, but they play a smaller
RAISES

sifter a foothold Is secured, lobbing- the
bombs over etorves and buttresses. j
Troops ob the defensive formerly j
waited untlj the enemy was In grenade
range very near then' hurled. But
rifles are used at longer rang. The:
long; use of grenades robbed them of .
whatever moral effect they had when j
Initiated. !
The use of rifle permits the use of
bayonets, and the Germans exhibit little
stomach to face the cold steel. The
Americans arc Instilled through Jong
training with the idea that they are
invincible with bayonets. Although the
enemy Is feverishly drilling and prac-1
t icing with the rifle, he is unable to ,
Implant confidence in his, troops. j
Tha atver-nrevalent mud Is one reason
the allies followed the enemy's lead raj
erenades Instead of using rifles, but im-'
proved organisation Is slowly but surely
enabling the troops to keep their we'a
pons clean and serviceable.

It was pointed out with a great deal
of pride that the American forces en

traditions of the American fighting
forces. Subjected to a disastrous bom
bardment from every sort of weapon
which had the accurate range of the j
American positions, and swept by clouds
of poison gas, the Americans maintained
their 'position and took a splendid toll
of the enemy.
The war department today also was
awaiting an official report of the re
ported capture "of 10 American soldiers
near Chavlgnon, on the French front.
So far no report of any raids there has
been received.
It is accepted here that the fighting

ORDINANCE
F
BY JUDGE
TO MEET DEFICIENCY
Ordinance Designed to Cover
Persons Arrested for Espous
ing I. W. W. Principles.
ir Mayor Baker and the city commis-
sloners favor an ordinance suggested
by Municipal Judge Rossman for deal
ing with members of the I. W. W., it
will hot be necessary for the police to
prove a case of vagrancy against the in
dustrials as in tha past, but the fact
tnat they advocate sabotage, either by
word of mouth of by literature, will be
advocating destruction of property.
in tne past, and especially quite re-
cently. dosens of the I. W. W. have
been before Judee Rossman on vurrancv
charges. In order to prove th case, it
naa oeen necessary to produce evidence
to show that they were idle and disso
lute persons. In several cases members
of the organisation have had as much
as $260 in their possession at the time
of arrest. Others have been steadily
employed in camps and other lines of
endeavor; hence it was not possible to
prove -vagrancy. In very few Instances
has it been possible to get a conviction
by Jury in the court
Judge Rossman made his recommenda
tion to Mayor Baker Friday, and It Is
likely that the new ordinance will be
taken up at the next meeting of the
city, commissioners.

The decision of the allied diplomats to

Foreign Minister Motono told the diet
that Japan is negotiating with the allies
for a new policy toward Russia.
Significance is placed on the hurried

ACTION BY ALLIES AS
TO RUSSIA MAY. AWAIT
HUN PEACE EFFORTS
By 'John Edwin Serin
Washington, March 2. (I. N. S.) Of
ficials today maintained their refusal to
discuss the JaDanese-Rusaian alt untlnn.
! It was explained that exchanges between
the allies were still making progress and
that the diplomatic situation presented
so many delicate questions that open
discussion might prove exceedingly dan
gerous. It was accepted that probable
action might very well wait on the de
velopments In connection with the ef
forts of Germany to force Russia to ac
cept a German peace.
The reports from London, telling of
the Impending return of the Russian
peace delegates from Brest-Lltovsk. and
Indicating that the peace negotiations
have been broken off, greatly interested
officials. It was felt that the develop
ments there might entirely change the
situation.
Maay Features Fsssle
Should the Russians decide to fight on,
even though they would have to put up
a defensive operation and retreat far
Into the interior, it still would put an
entirely new face on the situation. It
might even make possible the recogni
tion of the Bolshevik government and
the affording to it of every assistance to
check the German advance. Possibly
also it would afford an opportunity for
the entente powers to offer, with Japan's
consent the Japanese array to a.ld in
the operations against the Germans, or

cis, with his Petrograd aides, includ

expected that a complete report of Just
what is acuauy going on in jttussia iu

closely. Rumors that the German neei

JAPAN SPURNS PEACE
FEELER OF GERMANS,
s SAYS RUSS MINISTER
New York. March 2. (U. P.) A
treaty purporting to show that Japan
and Russia formed an alliance In June,
1916. to "safeguard China from political
domination of any third power what
ever having any hostile designs against
Russia or Japan," and letters pointing
out Japan's desires in territorial gain,
were published today by the New York
Evening Post
The treaty binds each of the nations
to go to the aid of the other in case or
military operations and not- to sign a
peace Without consent of the other.
The letters, from M. Krupensky, for
mer Russian ambassador at Toklo, point
out Japan's desires for the districts for
merly occupied In the province of' Shan
tung and the acquisition of islands north
of the equator now occupied by Japan.
A letter from M. Sazonoff, Russian
minister for foreign affairs, to the am
bassadors at Toklo, London and Paris
stated the Japanese government had In
formed him the Japanese ambassador at
Stockholm had been approached by the
German ambassador with a proposal for
peace between Japan, Russia and Ger
many. The request was- refused with
the statement that It should have been
made to ail allies at once.
Emperor Calls War Chief
San Francisco, March 2. (U. P.)
Cables to local Japanese . newspapers
from Toklo today stated that Lleuten
ant General Kenichl Oshlma, Japanese
minister of war, had been summoned
to- the imperial villa at Hayama to
participate in' the conference called
by the emperor regarding the Russian
situation.
The cables make no -mention of tho
actual sending of- Japanese troops
Into Siberia, as reported from London,
and Informed Japanese expressed the
opinion that any activities by the Jap
anese military in that connection was
probably merely a precautionary meas
ure. They believe Japan will take no
active war measures until her allies
sanction them.
