Roy Bremmer, a Multnomah coun

suspension bridge between Oregon
City and West Linn by a mob who
threatened to tie him and throw him
in the Willamette river, as Meads
was thrown in during a similar bat

Bremmer has secured warrants for
the arrest of George Storey and Sam
and Doug Finnucane, charging them
with threatening to kill. Fourteen
other warrants are out on various I
charges in connection with the fish
war, but up to 9 o'clock this morn

In a clash between a small num-
ber of wardens and half a hundred
fishermen on Main street here last
night, Bremmer was ordered to leave

NEW YORK, April 27. Germany's
reparations offer to tho allies Is a
deceptive effort to crente the impres
sion that tho allied terms have been
substantially met.
As a matter of fact, Germany has
camouflaged her offer In such a way
that if It were accepted, the allies
would probably receive less than one
half of their demands.
By a piece of suggestive propagan
da, Germany has created the Impres
sion that she hasoffored to pay the
nllles 200,000,Jo1m00 gold marks, or
$50,000,000,000. Germany has done
nothing of tho kind.
By a complicated reference to inter
est payments, tho Germans have cre
ated an entirely false impression la
tho matter.
