It is announced tlie Germans, Bnlgartana and Turks defeated the Roumanian invaders ol Bulgaria m a three day battle near Rjasovo. Tne Roumanians nastily fled back across the Danube.

If the administration ship parentis" bill had been enncted into law in September or October, 1914, it vs-ntiirt have been possible to add 100 vtssds of 10,000 gross tons to our American merchant mnrine for th" overseas trade. Those vessels would have cost then not more than forty to fifty million dollars; now they would be worth more than one hun dred millions of dollars, nnd the bene fits to our foreign commerce would Imve been Incalculable In the Immense saving 1n foreign rates on wheat, cot ton, and all other commodities enter ing into our export trade nnd upon which the ocean freight rates have ad vanced from fioo to 1000 per cent In the last two years.

For severnl days past contri butions have been flowing in upon the committee, the sums ranging from $1 up to $10. How- ever, with the very large fund available in the Hughes ramp, because of corporate support, e It Is desired to raise as much money ns possible for the Wll- son fight In Oregon. According- ly any Wilson supporter or sym- 4 pathizcr Is Invited to contribute to the fund. In any rum, large or small. The money Is to be forwarded to Portland tomorrow or the next day and therefore early action is desired. Contrl- buttons may be mailed to W. N.
