Moore said he went aboard the Bast-

CONGRESS MAY BE
GALLED EARLY TO
SE
WASHINGTON, July 27. Secretary
of War Garrison has called Into con
lerence Assistant Secretary Breck
enridge, General Scott and Gene.-al
Rllss to go over tentative drafts of
an army reorganization plan which
he expects to submit to the president
upon the latter's return to Washing
ton. Despite Garrison's protest here
is no "hurry up" progam of national
defense In view, there are Indications
that the war department Is losing no
time. Persistent rumors that an ex
tia session of congress will be called
are unverified, but It is believed tbe
president desires congress to con
vene about October first In order to
get an ealy start ut working out de
fense problems.
Such plans may be dropped if the
international situation reaches a point
where the calling of an extra session
causing a misunderstanding abroad,
might defeat diplomacy and add to the
danger. Garrison denied he knows
of the existence of a secret formult
which an army officer Is quoted as
saying "will surprise the Germans."
"I know nothing of it,'' said the sec
retary. AI STIUAX riU ISEUS DO

CANNON BALL FROM
FORT HENRIETTA
FOUND NEAR ECHO
(Special Correspondence.)
ECHO, Ore ,uly 17. An lotoVst
ing relic of early day was plowed up
last week on the old James Taylor
place about one and one half miles
above Echo, being a four and one
half pound solid iron cannon ball
three and one-fourth Inches In di
ameter. In early days Fort Henrietta stood
Just across the Umatilla river from
where the town of Echo stands. The
old fort was equipt with two brass
cannon which were thrown into the
well and the well filled up at the time
the well was abandoned by the" whites
In 1857, to keep them from falling
Into the hands of the Indians.
A short time afterwards the In
dians burned the fort but they did
not recover the cannon and they are
generally supposed to still be at the
bottom of the old well The exact lo
cation of which no one now knows.
It is highly probable that this can
non ball was at one time fired from
one of the old cannon.

BERLIN, July 27. "Germany. In
reply to the American note, must
stand firm." The under secretary of
foreign affairs read me thia eicerpt
from a letter, one of many he and
other officials have received from cit
izens Indicating the German people
won't sanction givlny up of subma
rine warfare. "Firmness and cour
tesy are needed." the letter continued.
"Exactly,' aaid Zimmerman. "Do
the future relations between Germany
and America look as dark as some
declare?" I asked. "No," came the
response.' "In thia day and age it
Is possible for two great nations to
differ without coming to a break.
Germany will never do anything to
bring that about Tou can assure the
American people of that."
"Is an adjustment of the contro
versy still possible?" I pursued.
"We hope so," Zimmerman replied.
"We tried our best in the last note,
but your government did not accept
our proposals. We can never give up
submarine attacks," Zimmerman re
iterated. "The people never would
stand for that."
