WASHINGTON, June it. Serious
charges of ahum of the American
flag by the allies have been made to
the atatc department by Germany, It
was learned. The charges filed cov
ered at least six Instances In which
the use of the flag was abused with
in the past two months. A report
has been asked from the American
embassy at London but nothing yet
has been heard from Ambassador
Tage.
It la learned authoritatively that
Germany has cited cases of the fly
ing of other neutral flags by disguis
ed British ships combing the seas for
Herman submarines.
These charges, It was expected, will
figure in Germany's reply to the
president's latest noto regarding sub
marine warfare. The position will
be taKcn that with the allies using
such methods It Is Impossible for sub
marine commanders to observe the
nrilnnrv usmires and onerate In ac
cordance with International rules of
visit und search before sinking sus
pected vessels. Germany's accusa
tions are expected to figure also In
the note which the Vnlted States will
direct to Kngland, regarding Inter
ference with neutral commerce.

Chairman Last Spring Warmly
Praised Efficiency of His Work.
In th following letter written from
Corvallls where he Is now teaching
in a summer school at the Oregon
Agricultural College, Supt. J. S. Lan
ders answers the statement' made bj
the school board members last Wed
nesday: Corvallls, Ore., June 19, 1915.
Kdltor East Oregonlan:--Slnce tho
school board did not desire to accept
the committee's Invitation to a public
discussion of the relations of the
hoard to myself, I had hoped that
there was to be no more "statements."
Rut In your Issue of last Wednesday,
June Id, I notice whnt the Tribune
rails their final, statement. May I
ask the courtesy of your columns for
a "final" word In explanation, "lest
mv silence be misconstrued?'
It Is with regard to the latest ex
cuse given by the board as to the
severance of our relations In tha
school, that I wish to speak. You
remember, Mr. Editor, the agility of
the Irishman's flea, that was so hard
to locate. "Now I have him, bejab
her' now I don't have html" Tha
Intellectual hopscotch 1n which the
hnnrri have engnged Is certainly hard
to follow. Last fall very soon after
the meeting of the board in wntcn

but In which one member said "Now
next spring (after the election Is nil
over, Mr, Kdltor) you can go." Harry
Ulckers, whose office Is In the room
where tho school board hold their

The steamers on the upper Colum

"Last evening the J. N. Teal and
the Inlund Empire were at Umatilla
together at 6:30, the Teal bound up
stream and the Inland for Portland,"
says Mr. Dryer. The Inland carried
a heavy cargo, Including three car
loads of hogs from Lewiston. The
passenger list was 60. Going up
stream the Teal carried a cargo of
300 tons of freight and 100 passen
gers. "Though It was not expected th
passenger business Is proving heavy
and profitable. On Its last trip up
stream the Inland Empire carried 130
passengers.
"The company Is now refitting the
steamer Twin Cities so as to make a

NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF
FARMERS ONION AT WEISER
STATU EXIXTTIVE HOARD DE
CIDES PLACE- AT GATHER
ING HERE SATURDAY.
Through action by tho state execu-j
live bourd or the f armers' union ior
Eastern Oregon and Southern Idaho
at the annual meeting of the board
held here Saturday it was decided to
hold the next annual convention of
the organisation at Veifer, Idaho,
December 7.
Ym lulls towns asked for the com
ing convention of the farmers, am
ong them being Corvallls, Condon,
Baker, and Pendloton. The consider
ation that caused the meeting to be
given to Weiser Is the fast no ses
sion of the association has yet been
held In Idaho.
The board Saturday received re
ports from the legislative committee
of Idaho and Oregon and adopted
the same. Other business transact
ed consisted In the payment of bill
nnd the handling of routine affairs. j
The meeting of the executive board
was held at the local Farmers' Union'
f.ffice on Court street apd the follow-j
ing members of the committee were;
present: J. P. Hrown. Arlington; F. i
A. Pykes, Milton; W. W. Hurrah, Pen-i
illeton; J. P. Atkinson, IJoyd; K. R. j
Hoop. Fairfield. Idaho, nnd W O.

not going to have Landers going
round making prohibition speeches."
Now. the board says prohibition Is
not the reason; they have no objec
tion to my talking prohibition from
the pulpit. Ilefore tne election last
fall, who ever heard of any member
of the board, except Mr. Drown pos
sibly, ndvocatlng temperance or pro
hibition Now, it seems there is no
seat too high or too prominent on the
water wagon for them.
In tho conference with Mr. Brock
last fall, referred to In the previous
statement, In which he was acting
as chairman of the board, In addition
to the conversation on the prohibition
addresses, he said that certain peo
ple had been much hurt by my part
In the Hulgin meetings, that the
hoard had considered asking my res
ignation. Now, they have no objec
tion whatever to any religious views
I hold; and it was not on account of
religion that they let me out. Ac
cording to one member In public,
meeting, they even refused to elect
a teacher because he was not a mem
ber of any church. Thla was Mr.
Taliman's statement before the com
mittee. Now, tha excuse they offer for let
ting me out "had to do solely with
school management," Mr. Hrock'a Inst
statement. Yet this spring, 1n a
parent-teachers' meeting In which he
and I appeared on the program, he
went out of his way to speak of the
efficiency of Pendleton schools as due
to the work of Prof. Landers; to
praise the work so warmly as to
mnko It difficult for me to follow him
on the program. Again, at the close
of the meeting In which teachers
were elected this spring, ho and an
other member, told me my work was

Only Uie fact that lb rap on the fusu

found in the armory early today. The

was faulty and the dynamite failed
to go off. I
DETROIT, June 21 An attempt
to blow up the armory at Windsor
where troops are quartered was mado
today simultaneously with an attempt
on the Peabody overall plant. . Two
hundred soldiers were asleep In the
building at the time. The man on
guard at 5 a. m. accidentally stum
bled upon 26 sticks of dynamite, t .
which was attached a fuse, partly
burned.
The authorities of Windsor believe
German spies are responsible for the
attempt and that they smuggled the
explosive across the border from De
troit during the night.
The watchman of the armory
heard a slight explosion shortly be
fore five o'clock but was unable to
locate the cause of It then.
It Is now believed it was the ex

fuse and that it was Intended to set
off the dynamite but failed to work
