I aiding' the old i world"
" "The crisis in Bur&u n so grave,
said Bryan in an interview with the
1 writer, "and our responsibility so
great, that I think the president and
congress should immediately Join in
sending a commission to Europe au-
J thorised to say this :
- " Whenever the . European nations
" can come together on terms satisfac-
tory to themselves so that the world
f can simultaneously disarm, our debt
will be cancelled. "
V DE BIDES LEAGUE AS ISSCE
f The feeling and fear among some
XemocraJtIc leaders that Cox would
"I return to the UnitedStates milltantly
. bent on injecting the League into the
fall elections, prompted questioning
r of the commoner on this subject.
' "The League is impossible as an
S issue." Bryan replied. "Because the
party is divided. The moment we talk
g about the League, factions in the
fi party appear. .
"To effect cancellation of the debt,
however, conditioned on establishment
i of machinery that would ensure the
arrvine out of disarmament, wouia
carry out the spirit of the League
without arousing disputes' as to de
tail."
CALLS DEBT WORTHLESS
"The foreign debt," Bryan declared.
"is worthless. It will never be collect
ed. And yet while we insist upon
it we miv prevent peace in Europe
and actually become responsible for
another war. We might be able to
trade a worthless debt for a priceless
oeace. At least, it's worth trying.
We are not in a position to do much
toward peace as. Ions as our demand
" for repayment creates rope an con
t ditions that prevent peace
I Cox advocates a trip by seaover to
Europe to advise the old world on how
to set on its feet.
I Bryan suggests that American
should hold herself in readiness to
1 act as an adviser whenever Europe
t desires our advice. The big thing, he
v says, is that "we should always re
serve to ourselves any part that we
might take." and avoid any action in
volving a moral obligation, which to
be effective would have to be bind
ing.
URGES MORAL IJTFXtrESCE
- Bnt while I do not regard the sur
. t j-end.r of our independence of action
I Is either likely or wise," Bryan added,
"I think we owe it to the world to use
" our moral influence to bring world
1 peace.
f To thia end he believes the trade
of debts for disarmament affords the
i most practicable vehicle.
I During his recent contact with
Chautauqua crowds, Bryan says, he
found a great reaction against the
i Republican party, especially among
i, farmers and laborers.
J "Most certainly," he added, "the
Democrats are going to make vast
? gains in congress this fall."
Domestic .-issues will predominate in
f this year s elections. Bryan believes,
I, and foremost among these will be the
situation created as a result of the
mine and rail strikes.
BOTES FOB SETTLEMENT
"While I am hoping that the strikes
wit be settled ' before the campaign
really opens, anything that affects the
public so violently cannot but become
an Issue," he said, "especially such
important things as the coal and rail
Strikes.'
Bryan, while in Washington, called
on Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
advocating the latter's bill to take over
'emergency control of the coal. The
question threatens to be either tem
porary federal operation or use of the
United States army in a cored ve man
ner, Bryan holds, and "I think the
people would prefer the former of the
two alternatives."

Pendleton, Aug. 29. Death was due
probably - to a blow from a sandbag,
rather than a broken neck, Monday's
hnquest over the body of a man found
on the banks of the Umatilla river near
here last Wednesday revealed. The
jury was unable, from the. examination
of a number of witness, either to de
termine the man's identity or the Iden
tity of his slayers.
Further reports of missing mtn are
being checked over by the officials
who have determined that "the body
was brought to the place it was found
from a distance of from SO to 100
miles and. that the persons who dumped
the body over the bank of the river
were unfamiliar with the country and
supposed that the body landed la the
river.
A report was received at the sheriffs
office here that a man named J. V.
Curry is missing from a construction
gang working near Elgin, and that his
teeth resembled those of the man whose
body was found here in that they dis
played a considerable amount of bridge
work in front of the mouth..
The Scio clue proved fruitless.
Nothing more has been learned re
garding the reported disappearance ot
Arthur Mason of Heppner.
The body was to be buried today, but
the investigation will be carried on.
An analysis of the contents of the
stomach is being made and an effort
is being made to identify cleaners'
marks on the clothes in which the dead
man was found. A belt buckle bear
ing the initials "A. A. A." offers a
further clue.
London. Aug. 28 Poison whisky is
not confined to the dry United States.
It is menacing England.
Despite all the perfectly good lignor
available here, the -Englishman persists
pfTifcproduct is not so much the result
of crude manufacture or amateurish
distillation, as adulteration and blend
ing with cheap liquors. ,
The annual report of the home, of
inebiates association observes that ia
recent years there has been a notice
able change in the symptoms resulting
from excessive and sometimes compar
atively moderate spirit drinking. The
report adds:
"There Is frequently an early excite
ment, a slower . recovery and an in
creased tendency to partial blindness;
it is believed this change is due to the
toxic effects of Inferior liquor, and
possibly to the addition of wood al
cohol to some spirits placed on the
market.." ; -
Liquor dealers say that cheap blend
ing is responsible for the bad whiskies.
California brandy may be obtained ia
the London market now for about' 60
cents a gallon and Spanish brandy for
1.50 a gallon. The temptation to Diana
them with pure malt wnisky, which
sens at 96 a gallon, overcomes gome
unscrupulous dealers.
Angered at what he terms the pre
sent exorbitant price of good whisky.
and unable to pay it, the lower class
Englishman is very apt to succumb to
wood alcohol concoctions, which seem
to get the same result as the real thing.
Before the war he could buy the best
grade of Scotch whisky for three shill
tags and sixpence a quart, or about 85
cents at the normal rate or exchange
This same whisky now costs him 12
shillings six pence, or something more
than S3. It. costs no more to make
the whisky. The Increase is due to
government taxation.

New York. Aug. 29. Schools and

drastic action. Hulbert said, and added!

VOTERSTODE
RECALL ON BONDS
Buratc Auk. . That Lane county
voters will be called on at the Novem
ber election to decide whether there
will be any more bond roads built
was made certain Monday with the
filing of the petition with the county
clerk for the recall of the unsold por
tion nf h 13.000.000 hlehway bonds.
Approximately 1700 signatures of
citizens in every part of the county
are on the recall petitions filed with
the county clerk and are now being
checked ever by him.
The filing of the petition, which calls
upon the people to make void about
$1,000,000 in bonds, authorised but yet
unsold, comes as a surprise to the
rood roada enthusiasts of the county.
who were of the opinion that the pe
tition had been withdrawn from circu
lation owing to the attack made oa it
by the Lane County Good Roads as
sociation and the Eugene Chamber of
Commerce previous to the May prim
ary. When' the recall committee failed to
file the petition in time for the May
election, many people took it for
ranted that the backers of the pe
tition had decided not to push it. The
petitions, however, have remained .in
circulation and two or three hundred
names more than are necessary to put
the measure on the ballot are oa them.

from this pump
Gasoline mixed with air, makes
gas, and gas makes pcrwer.
How much power depends
primarily upon how completely
the gasoline vaporizes in the car
buretor. "Red Crown" vaporizes . 100
per cent. Every atom mixes with
many times its volume of air and
is completely consumed in the
cylinders, leaving' a minimum of
carbon residue on spark plugs,
valves and cylinder heads.
That's why you get more
