REM MYSTERY
OF LOST SHIPS
SEARCH BY DEPARTMENT OF

OF RESULTS.
Il
TALL YARN" VERIFIED
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ADMIT
PIRATE THEORY
PLAUSIBLE.
By Russell Drowning
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, June 23 The fato
of the "vanishing ships" today
threatened to go down in history as
one of the "unexplained mysteries of
the, sea.
Officials of the department of com
merce admitted that the search for
a twentieth contury pirate, under
taken after all other theories to ex
plain the disappearance of half a
dozen boats off Cap Hattcras failed,
so far had produced no results.
"I've heard many tall yarns of the
sea," said Eugene T. Chamberlain,
commissioner of navigation. "But in
this case the facts are there. The
Carroll A. Decring and the Hewitt
met some strange fate beyond that
of ordinary vessel."
The Deering was the schooner that
sailed on the shoals, abandoned ap
parently in calm seas, and with the
ship and cargo in good condition.
The Hewitt and her crew dropped
completely out of sight about the
same time.
( "Of course we don't say flatly that
these ships were victims of piracy,
but we have Investigated and are in
vestigating that angle," Chamberlain
said.
NEW YORK, June 23. If any of
them still live who sailed aboard the
mysterious missing ships for which the
United States government is now
searching, Mrs. Lillian Thomas; -of the
seamen's commerce Institute, Nov.'
York, wilt confidently go about finding
them. She finds hundreds of sailors
in the four copiers of the world and
puts them.back In communication with
their families, some times after years
of separation,
iShe now has a list of about 400
missing, including quite a few of the
sailors who wore last heard of on
board the shipping board freighter
William O'Brien and the same list is
posted in the seamen's homes and In
the seaports of 27 countries.
Mr?. Thomas, who runs the missing
seamen bureau of the seamen's church
institute, has "found" 635 missing
men since January 1.

Post- War Military Plan Defined
In Passage of Appropriation Bills
POLICY IS MAINTENANCE OF SMALLEST FORCES CONSISTENT WITH
NATIONAL SAFETY; ARMY STRENGTH 150,000, MEANS CUT
TINO OFF OF 80,000 MEN; NAVY STRENGTH 106,000 MEN.
By John M. Glelssner
(United News Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, June 23. The sen
ate and the house have finally agreed
on the disputed army and navy appro
priation bills, and in so doing have de
fined tho postwar military polioy of
America.
This policy is to be one of lnaUriin
ing the smallest military establish
ments consistent with national safeiy,
with, sympathy toward universal lim
itation of armaments on land and
sea. In fact, the manpower of the
army, and of the navy, as dictated by
congress, is to be less than both the
secretary of war and the cectuiary
of the navy Insisted would enable this
country to keep herself adequately
prepared.
It is to be presumed that the secre
taries speak for their elflef, the pi ev
ident. Bui' congress, controlling tho
purse strings, baa tho final word.
And congress has ruled that the
army will be 150,000, its pre-war size.
The senate' ended the deadlock on
the appropriation bill by accepting
Wednesday the house amendment, af
ter having held out first for an army
of 170,000, and then for a more grad
ual reduction In strength. The house
amendment will mean that the army
must be cut from its present size,
230,000, by October 1. This will mean
the arbitrary discharge of 80,000 men.

In order that the entire city may

The game will start shortly after 5

REPORT ON SPEECH
ADMIRAL HAS CHANCE TO PROVE
THAT HE WAS "MISQUOTED"
IN LONDON UTTERANCES.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 23 Secretary
of tho Navy Denby today ordered Ad-
.miral Sims to give him a complete
report on his London "jackass"
speech.
Any action that Denby may con
template against Sims iwill await his
formal report on the accuracy of
dispatches reporting Sims' remarks
concerning Irish sympathizers in the
United States.
Denby's instructions were given
Sims when tho admiral reported to
the secretary in accordance with or
ders cabled him while in Europe.
"Admiral Sims denied the accur
acy of the statements attributed to
him in dispatches reporting his Lon
don speech," Denby said.
"I gave him a written memoran
dum which amounts to an official
order instructing the admiral to in
form me in writing wherein he was
misquoted, and, if he could, to state
just what he did say in that speech.
"I want an early reply to this
order."
Sims was with Denby only a mo
ment. Denby handed him the writ
ten order and Sims left almost im
mediately. Sims then went to call on Admir
al Coontz, chief of naval operations,
refusing to comment on his confer
ence with Denby.
Senator Wadsworth, chairman ot
the military affairs committee, oppos
ed tho drastic cut until the last, and
he llnally yielded so that tho bill
could bo in force by tho beginning of
the fiscal year, July 1. He said that
the amendment constitutes "the crud
est treatment over handed out to tho
United States army."
Tho navy, it was agreed In confer
ence between delegations to the two
committees, will have a strength of
106,000 during the ensuing fiscal year.
Tho senate, supported by Secretary ot
tho Navy Denby, wanted 120,000
whereas tho houso had voted for 100,
000. The confreres agreed on virtually
all questions in dispute in tho appro
priations bill except the Borah dis
armament rider. Tho bill, as npproved
In conference, carries an appropria
tion of 1414,000,000, the house orig
inally appropriated $386,000,000, tho
scnato added J100.000.000 and receded
from most of it at tho Insibtenco of
the house. Another meeting of the con
freres is to bo held, but agreement Is
assured, according to confreres,
The army, according to Secretary ot
Wat Weeks, is preparing for the re
duction it will be required to make
The general staff has been called upon
to decide whether forces shall be
maintained as at the present, but in
skeleton form, or whether certain
branches will be abandoned.

COCK ROBIN ON

CHERRY VANDAL
Robins, woodpeckers and crows
arc under investigation in Wasco
county' to determine how much dam
age they aro doing to tho fruit and
berry crops.
Numerous complaints from ranch
ers led County Agent Jackman recent
ly lo rcquc.it tho United States bio
logical survey to send an invest igatoi.
In response to this, A Sperry, field
agent, reached The Dalles this morn
ing, and will begin his work at once
Sperry will kill birds at various
places over tho county and examine
the contents of their stomachs, The
biological survey is trying to ascer
tain whether many of the birds now
under such ilgid,piotection aro as val
uable insect consumers as they' have
been reputed to bo.
Thcro is a growing suspicion that
many of the birds who have acquired
wfdo reputations as bus burners have
developed epicurean tastes and would
rather hop on a defenseless strawber
ry than wasto a lot of energy pur
suing a nimble Insect.
The general survey along these
tines will Indicate whether or not
many of the birds aro eating enough
Dugs to justify their existence. The
robin is under especial fiio. Hoic in
Wasco county robins seem to spend
a lot of their time seeing how many
strawberries and cherries they can
ruin.
A robin redbreast, tho ranchers say,
won't confine his energies to tho cit
ing of one or two or half a dozen
strawberries. Instead he must traipse
down tho whole row, taking a whack
at every berry In slgljt.
In tho southern part of I ho county
woodpeckers aro damaging fruit trees,
it is said, not only by drilling into
the trees, but also pecking the fruit.
Tho crows will also be subjected to
posthumous Inquiry, for they aro ac
cused of making terrific Inroads in
the corn fields. .

Tho United States Forest Service

T. A. Summit! and William Clrclo ac

Request for a survey of the propos
ed roads was made several week ago
by tho chamber ot commerce. Tho
tentative route selected Is over tho

to tiic Mt. Hood loop road is a ills
tanco of only six miles.
'The construction of this six miles
of road Is tho matter that is now oc

tho chamber. According to Secretary
Van Scholck, Shcrrard definitely
promised that tho government would
pay hnlf of tho cost of construction of
such a road, provided that th-.i state
highway commission can be prevailed
upon to pay tho other half. As son as
possible, this matter will bo taken up
with tho highway commission.
In order that no legal impcdlmcn'.

sisted upon a wrilton pormit from
Tho Dalles city wator commission
giving right of way for such a road
through tho wator shod. A special
meeting of tho water commission
was hurriedly called yesterday after
noon and the written permit given.
Although tho present road to
