Germany's internal ffairs reached
a crisis in November, when the peo
ple became destitute and despondent.
The Socialists threatened a militant
peace movement unless the Kaiser
asked for peace immediately. Pow
erful anti-American land owners and
industrial leaders demanded unlim
ited submarining. National Liberals
seeking war with America urged a
ruthless policy of submarine warfare.
Chancellor von Bethmann Holl
weg's speech won over the Socialists,
but the Allies' reply greatly fright
ened Turkey. The Sultan must con
tinue fighting while the Germans de
fend Constantinople. Von Hinden
burg absolutely controls Bulgaria.

while H. G. Tholstrap, of Bay View
Washington, was the first to square
up delinquent taxes, presenting the

BEND VIRTUALLY
CRIMELESS CIII
COUNTY ENTERS INTO
SAME CLASS.
Iniliihtry of Community and I-ark of
I'ovcrty, (lilrf ('sunn Given by
District Attorney Alcohol
rk-IIcra are Htrict.
A city virtually free from crime.
In a county having the same rating,
Is tho unique position occupied by
Bend, according to information com
piled from the records of city and
county authorities. Since the orga
nization of the county, two months
ago, two arrests have been made for
the county, witb a scant half dozen
in the city, on minor charges. No
prisoners for Deschutes county bave
ever been lodged In jail.
No Complaint Pending.
Not only this, but there are no
complaints of criminal action now
under advisement, according to Dir -trict
Attorney H. H. DeArmond, and
unless the first Deschutes Count
Grand Jury turns in a bunch of un
forseen indictments, criminal trials
will be limited to tbe rehearing of
the case of the State vs. Dunn, on
an old complaint alleging horse steal
ing. The utter absence of crime, to
gether witb the fact that only one
suit for divorce has been filed in tbe
last two months, is cited by Mr. De
Armond as a striking index to the
prosperity of tbe community as a
whole.
People Too Busy.
"People are too busy to find any
need for engaging in criminal pur
suits, for you can't find an idle man
in Bend." he declared this morning.
"The usual incentive of poverty is
completely lacking. 1 ,
"As a general rule, crime is more
prevalent In the winter limn In sum
mer, end more common "111" a new
than In an old section of the country,
But it's different here. The people
haven't th; time nor the Inclination
lor such things. They are too busy
getting on in the world."
I Mr. Do Armond complimented the
J druggists of the city on tbe strict
I way in which they are complying, to
the letter, with the bone dry law, in
, tbe matter of the Bale of alcohol.
HUGE OCEAN LINER
SUBMARINE VICTIM
( By United Preaa to The Daily Bulletin.)
LONDON, Feb. 13. It was
- announced today that the
White . Star liner, Afric, has
a- been submarined. The Atric
was a steel vessel of 12,000
tons, and Is the largest victim
so far of the new German sub-
marine policy of unrestricted
submarining. Seventeen sail-
ors are reported missing.
The Admiralty stated that
the explosion killed five sail-
ors outright. It is admitted
that the Afric was engaged in
the government service, probab-
ly as a transport.

tor Bonio time past In Bend. That

All I'lia.tca of Development and In

Bettering Bend-Burns Highway.
A move for road improvement on
the main travelled highway between
Bend and Burns, is to be brought up
shortly before the County court.

cording to P. B. Johnson, merchant

road in first class condition. Mr.
Johnson states. '
The portion of the road named Is'
said to be In worse condition than
any other part of the highway, due
to heavy travel.
BILLY GEORGE IS
SHOCK ABSORBING ABILITY IS
DECIDING FACTOR IX GO WITH
TRAMBIT AS RECORD CROWD
SEES FAST MATCHES. .
Forcing the fighting to his own
game, that ot heavy give and take
old-fashioned milling, Billy George,
ot Idaho, won the decision ot Referee
Dr. G. L. Cousineau last night at the
Hippodrome, In a fast 10-round go
with Valley Trambitas, of Portland.
Nearly 1000 fans witnessed the tight,
crowding the hall to its utmost ca
pacity. George's ability to absorb
punishment without apparent effect,
was a deciding factor in the bout, for
the Portland boy's punches were
landed mostly in clever infighting,
with George's blows tor the most part
delivered at longer range. , With
fighters ot the same stamina, Tram
bitas would have had the advantage,
but the Willamette Valley fighter
was tired by the seventh round, while
George was growing steadily strong
er. The effect ot the altitude as a
handicap to Trambitas, must also be
conceded. Both men weighed in at
158 pounds. Bobby Evans, ot Port
land, sat In Trambitas' corner, while
Gilbert Scholtz, ot Bend, seconded
George.
The first round was comparatively
tamo, with no hard hitting, each ot
the fighters sounding out his adver
sary. Trambitas protected himself
with ease from George's vicious up-
percuts. The socond frame was live
lier, and Trambitas' superior agility
and greater boxing ability gave him
the round by a shado. George came
back In the third, rushed hut oppon
ent twice to the ropes, and took a suc
cessful offensive till the gong sound
ed. The fourth round settled Into a
hammer and tongs exchange of
punches, both fighters landing ap
parently at will, and with little ad
vantage either way. Trambitas led
the fighting In the fifth and kept
