Strongest Navy Has Salvaged Craft As Admiral' s Ship London, Nov. 10. What is probably the strangest navy in history has just sprung into be ing. The little Baltic state of Latvia recently decided that it must have some warships to protect its long coastline and prevent smuggling, and so it has now put into com mission a battle fleet of three armed tugboats! Not content with this armada. Latvia has decided to have a flag ship for it. Her first' "battleship" the Versaiti, will be launched this month, and it will be a vessel of 525 tons, with a speed of seven teen knots. The Vesaiti has bad an inter esting if inglorious career already, for she is nothing less than the old German guardship EM-68, which was sunk in Latvian waters in 1917 and has now been raised and renovated. She is certainly the only guard ship that has risen from the depths of the sea to the dizzy heights of becoming the flagship of a battle fleet. the procession and two trucks carried the flowers. A wreath from King George was among them, Lord Cavan acting for the king. It bore the legend: "As unknown and yet well known; As dying, and behold, we live." There was a wreath, too, from Canada, its inscription saying: "But that which put the glory of grace into all that he did was that he died ef pure love to his country."

A gloomy view of the financial position of the United Kingdom was present ed in the house of commons yester day by Sir Robert Horn, chancellor of the exchequer, in moving the second reading of the appropria tion bill. He expressed the belief, however, that Great Britain's tra ditional resourcefulness would car ry her through the hard times? The arrangement to begin pay ment of the interest on the war debt owed the United States at the rate-of 50,000,000 pounds sterling annually, he said, would occasion fresh expenditure next year. The budget estimated a surplus of 84,000,000 pounds sterling from ordinary revenue and 93,000,000 pounds sterling from extraordi nary revenue. Of this total 80,- with the Oregon state peniten tiary. No attempt has been made oy the state to pay the growers for the flax handled this year and it is said by the state officials that the farmers must wait for their money until the state realizes upon the stock on hand. The sum due the growers for this stock Is approxi mately $37,000. Not even a bank able voucher Is given to the grow ers, therefore, although his flax Is delivered to the state under a per fectly clean-cut contract, he does er, therefore, although his flax is raise money except his own per sonal credit and if he were to plant another crop he would un doubtedly have the expense of it on his hands before he would even have bis money for expenses out of the 1921 crop.

Parliment Adjourns With Forebodings London, Nov. 10. The session of parliament, which opened in February, ends today with the prorogation of both houses by roy al commlslson after the brief au al commission after the brief au 18. This special meeting, which the government was able to ar range on short notice, due to the fact that parliament had merelv adjourned in August instead of being prorogued, was summoned to deal with the question of un employment. While this problem was duly taken care of, the Inter est of the members has been main ly focussed on the Irish peace ne gotiations. Several members of parllainont, viewing with some apprehension the uncertain state of the Irish situation at the present time, lift night urged the government to al low another adjournment Instead of the Indefinite postponement which a prorogation Implies. Austen Chamberlain, government leader in the house of commons, declared that nothing stood In the way of proroguing the body and reminded his anxious Inquirers that Prime Minister Lloy l-Cootge had repeatedly promised that nothing would be finally settled with regard to Ireland without calling the house together. new session could be opened, he point ed out, should developments ra qulrc It. While It cannot be denied thct a great deal of gloomy foreboding exists In many quarters, It la not believed generally lhat the peace negotiations are necessarily doom ed to a sudden collapse, vhntever the attitude Ulster may adopt, but that further negotiations would follow any possible check. night and Mr. Mowry was arrested on his farm five miles south of Salam by deputy sheriffs today. While Mr. Carson had not been informed that Mr. Mowry was sus pected of the act with which he Is now charged up to the time The Capital Journal made its request tor an official Investigation, Judge Bushey was In possession of this information hut did not lay It be fore the district attorney for In vestigation and action. Information that Judge Bushey was basing his refusal to return the girls to their home because of moral conditions there was first brought to the attention of The Capital Journal wheji a committee named by the Salem Ministerial association to Investigate the Per ry case made public Its report) When interviewed, members of the committee said that Judge Biisney hadtold them he had Information that Mr. Mowry had attempted criminal assault upon one of the girls. Asked why Judge Bushey hadttold them he had information before the district attorney with the request that Mowry be prose cuted, the members of the com mlttee replied that they did not know. That Mowrydmitted the at tempted assault when questioned before Sheriff Bower, Judge Bushey and the district attorney is the report of Mr. Carson. The act is alleged in the complaint to have been committed during the blackberry picking season of 1920, about July 10. Mowry will probably be given hearing before Justice of the Peace Unruh sometime this after noon. Bootlegger Sues Partner For Half Fine Walla Walla., Wash., Nov. 10. The most unique case ever filed In the history of the northwest, ac cording to local attorneys, was in stituUd yesterday at Pasco, Frank lin county, Washington, by Mike Boca, who Is suing his former part ner, John Edwards for $99 to cover the cost of attorney's fees and costs which were paid by Boca when the latter was recently ar rested and fined $175 for having Intoxicating lftiuor in his posses sion. Boca alleges in his complaint that he and Edwards entered Into an agreement when they went in to the bootlegging business that each partner would be responsible for half of the costs in the event that the other partner was arrest ed. After Boca's arrest, he plead od guilty and was fined, which to gether with his attorney fee amounted to $198.

Pro posals to be made by the American delegation to the conference on limitation of armament apparent ly constitute the only suggestion prepared In advance as to ways and means of curtailing naval expenditures without sacrifice by any power of national security. Great Britain is not known to have worked out any formula; Japan Is awaiting the American suggestion; France and Italy are more concerned with land force than navies. Two days before the conference opens the American proposals re main a closely guarded secret. This much is known: A definite formula for agree ment on limitation of naval force has been reached by Secretary Hughes and his colleagues of the American delegation. The formula Is an entirely practical one. It does not attempt to fix a common denominator by which all navies could b divided and each power assigned by agreement the num ber of units It could maintain with world approval. The American suggestion will deal with things as they are. It will he i plain proposition of ship built, building or authorized, ot naval bases of the vital element of naval replacements, of the po tential naval significance ot merchant marine m of other concrete, exlsltlnrj or planted weapons and auxiliaries of naval warfare. Also it Is regarded by those who framed the suggestions as a bold stroke of naval reduction, possibly too bold for Immediate reduction. Washington Is filled with con jecture as to what the American delegation will propose.
