NEW YORK. Aug. 9. On the oc
casion of the capture of Warsaw the
United Press asked the German em
peror in a wireless message for an ex
pression on the historic significance
of the victory and for a statement of
a basjs Germany considers necessary
to secure peace in Europe.
In reply the following message was
received from Imperial Chancellor
Von Bethmann-Holweg:
"His majesty, the emperor, regrets
not to be able for reasons of principle
to comply with the request of the Uni
ted Press for a personal expression at
the occasion of the success of the al
lied German and Austro-Hungarian
armies in Poland. In having the hon
or to Inform you thereof, I add the
explanation that Germany connects
with these victories, especially the
hope that the end of the war may be
hastened through them. I beg to re
mind you at the same ttme the em
peror in all his utterances haa em
phasized that Germany is fighting for
peace which will obtain for it and for
the powers which are on its side In
this great struggle such absolute se
curities as It needs for a lasting peace
and for its national future. Beyond
Germany's frontiers, the peace which
we strive to obtain "will secure to all
people the freedom of the seas and
will open for all nations the possibil
ity of aiding the w ork of progress and
civilization In free competition. '

Minister of Guatemala is
Dismissed by Gen. Carranza
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9. Carranxa
T.as muddled matters by expelling
Minister Ortega of Guatemala from
Mexico. This was evident as further
advices of Carranta's action were re
ceived and arrangements were made
to resume the conferences between
the Pan-American envoys and Secre
tary Lansing, so abruptly terminated
last week. Carranza referred to "cer
tain reasons" for handing the Guate
malan envoy his passports and giving
film 24 hours to leave, ths country.
No official explanation as to these
"certuln reasons" has been received,
but It Is reported that Carranza ac
cused Ortega of encouraging the re
cent rebellion In Yucatan which caus
ed the "first chief a great deal of
trouble. In this connection If Car
ranza proves his oft repeated charge
that representattives of South and
Central American countries In Mexi
co have been trying to reestablish the
clentlflcos In power, It was admitted
negotiations between Lansing and the
Latlon-Amerlcan envoys will become
Increasingly difficult.

WAS COUNTY COMMISSIONER
Hi Condition Became ( rilicaj oat
Friday Mght and IUiidly Contin
ued to Grow Worse Internal In
juries Sustained No Autopsy WUl
lie Held Over the Body.
As a result of the Injuries which h
sustained last Wednesday morning
when struck by an auto bus. County
Commissioner H. A. Waterman died
late Saturday night at St. Anthony's
hospital. The body will be taken to
Hermiston tomorrow morning and at
4 o'clock In the afternoon at the fam
ily home there the funeral will b
held.
The condition of the commissioner
became critical Friduy night and all
day Saturday continued to grow
worse. Internal injuries together
with the infection resulting from the
fractured leg combined to make the
efforts of the physicians futile.
The exact cause of death will prob
ably never be known inasmuch as no
autopsy will be held. There was no
indication of Internal injuries until
several days after the accident but de
velopments then proved conclusively
that his hurts were not limited to
those of his leg. The physicians be
lieve that the commissioner's gall blad.
der waa broken in the accident.
Deceased Is survived by a wife and
five children, ranging in ages from
six to sixteen, and also by a father
and mother who live In The Dalles.
The father and mother and wife were
here yesterday and made arrange
ments for the funeral.
Deceased was 45 years old. having
been born in Jefferson. Oregon, March
4, 1370. He lived there until five
years old when he came with his par
ents to eastern Oregon, settling in
Grant county. There he remained
until 1S78 when he again returned to
Jefferson to remain until 1$S2. In
that year he returned to that part of
Grant county which later becamu
Wheeler county, remaining there un
til six years ago when he took up
land on the government project near
Hermiston. He was married 17 years
ago.
Mr. Waterman served the town of
Hermiston as mayor before his elec
tion to the county court three years
ago. His death leaves a vacancy in
the court which will probably be fill
ed soon by the remaining members of
the court. Tomorrow afternoon the
county court house will be closed in
respect to the deceased.
