William Seehorn, at Time of
Last Letter to Sister, Mem
ber of Crew of the Destroyer
Chauncey.
William Seehorn, aged 30 years, a na
tive son of Oregon and a former resident
ci ' Springfield, Lane county, 1b believed
to hnvo been aboard tho American de
stroyer Chauncey which was sunk in a
collision in the war zone with a probable
1iB8 of 21 lives, Monday morning. Mrs.
hoy Loomis, n sister, of Eugene, stated.
day that she hud been addressing her
brother's letters care of the Chauncey
for more than a year. She is anxiously
awaiting the official announcement by
the navy department of the list of miss
ing. Tho Chauncey had a complement of
01 officers nnd men.
Seehorn, who called in the navy as
blacksmith, about six years ago, was
born at Woodburn, Oregon, where his
mother died when he was nine months of
age. He wns the only son of William
Seehorn, now deceased. His three e
tors raised him from babyhood. They are
Mrs. Loomis, of Eugene; MrB. Louie
Wdlford, of the Elmira apartments,
Thirteenth and Salmon streets, Port
land, and Mrs. W. H. Boyles of Portland.
When Seehorn was 10 years of age
the family moved to Springfield, Lane
county, where they resided for four
years, later removing to Portland, where
the son learned the blacksmith trade in
the Southern Pacific shops, where he
worked almost until the time of his en
listment in the navy. Following his en
listment he saw service on the new
Maine, tho Pittsburg nnd the Oregon.
Two years ago, he sailed from San
Francisco for the orient. About three
months ago, he wrote a letter to his
sister, Mrs. Loomis, stating that he
wns just leaving a hospital at Manila,
About 10' dnys ago, Mrs. Wolford of
Portland, received a letter from him,
vbich had been 2S days in the mails. It
had been written at Cairo, Egypt, and
stntcd that he was bound for New York
and that when the ship made the Amer
Icon port, he would have completed a trip
around the world.
AMERICANS FAIL IN
T(
With the American Army in FranM,
Tuesday, Nov. 20. Only the fact that
the Germans failed to venture into Mo
Man's Land on a recent night saved them
from an American surprise. One hun
dred and sixty men of the first battalions
to enter the trenches for a week were
given special training and after being
transported to the front, crawled across
No Man's Land and took positions in
front of and in the German wire entan
glements at a point where it had bm
discovered the enemy came out ivevy
night.
Each man had been trained in a spe
cial task, and the entire unit had re
hearsed the part It intended to play un
der conditions similar to that in front of.
the German lines. The Americans reac.1-
ed the position soon after darn ana re
mained m waiting all night, but not one
German appeared either there, or, as far
as is known, at any place In No Mans
Land.
The plan was to allow several groups
of 10 to 15 Germans to emerge and meet
at a rendezvous. Then the Americans
would fall upon the enemy and repay
them fullv for recent trench raids.
A cold which a soldier caught in the
erenehes brought him a wound In tho
hnnH and iave warning to a German pi
trol of an ambuscade on another mgni.
An American patrol had arranged an an.
bush nenr a shell-ruined farm house in
K Mnn'n Land. Sovcral of tho Amerl-
had colds and coughs, but managed
t.. nnnfrnl them. Finally, when the
shadowy forma of an enemy patrol were
seen approaching, one of the, Americans
coughed. Tho enemy patrol promptly
disappeared towards Its own lines from
which there soon afterward came a hall
of machine gun bullets, one hitting the
man who had coughed.

tow escape while walking nlong a road in

Ten Armed Patrol Ships anJ
German Cruiser Sunk as Re'
suit of Naval Action Carefully
Planned by London.
ENEMY CAUGHT WHILE
PREPARING FOR RAID
Vessels Singled Out One at a
Time and Destroyed. Plans
for Attack on Convoy of Mer
chant Ships Suspected.
(Correspondence of the Attoctatcd Preti)
Base of British Grand Fleet, Nov. 9.
The rccenl naval action in the Cattegat,
where the British sank a German cruiser
and 10 armed patrol ships is an- example
of the careful planning which lies behind
every move of the naval chart. A som
paratively Insignificant force of British
destroyers and light cruisers were the
actual stage performers in the little
Skaggerak drama.
The actual fight in the Cattegat began
about 7 o'clock lr. the morning and was
over three hours later. The German
fleet behind its fortifications received -he
calls for help, but dared not take a
chance probably well knowing that any
attempt to send out help would be :on
fronted with enemies rising out of the sea
from all directions.
Destroyers Plok Out Vlotlms.
The Cattegat is a deep bay lying be
tween Denmark and Sweden and leading
out through the Skaggerak into the North
sea near the scene of the famous Jutland
battle. A fog lay over the entire Caite
gat throughout the action, and the Biit-
iBh destroyers picked up their victims one
by one and sank them. The German aux
iliary cruiser Marie which was leading
the fleet of patrol boats was a -Bhip of
3000 tons. Her captain, Herr Lauter-
bach, was wounded but reached the' Dan
ish shore safely. His ship 'which had four
guns and a crew of 00, was "suddenly -it
tacked," he said,- in nn interview with n
DantBtt newspaper man afterwards, ''by
a fleet of British destroyers and
shells fired by them descended with such
rapidity that the men on the Marie wsrc
almost unable to use the guns. ' Only a
few shots were fired before the ship was
a mass of flames."
Lauterbach Unpopular.
British and American naval men who
have been on the China station in years
past will rememberCaptain Lauterbach.
He was known from Shanghai to Vladivo
stok as "Baron Munchausen," nnd is Jaid
to have been the most unpopular German
naval officer in the Far East. His un
popularity extended to his own men, -wd
in the Cattegat battle the first remark
made by a German bluejacket rescued
from the sea was a fervently expressed
hope that the British had not made rhe
mistake of rescuing his captain.
Lauterbach'B naval reputation proba
bly will suffer somewhat from the Catte
gat battle. His report that he fired his
guns as long as possible is dented by his
own men, who declared that Lauterbach
was "seised with funk" as soon as the
enemy appeared and that not a single
shot was fired from tho Marie's gun.
Germans Planned Attack.
Presumably the Marie was making her
way towards the trade route between
Norway and Scotland, in hopes of repeat
ing the successful German attnek on fhe
British convoy on October IT. The Brit
ish commander concentrated his fire fire
of all on the Marie and then detached his
fastest vessels to round up the escorting
patrol vessels. This was thoroughly done
after a hunt lasting nearly three hours,
This action, it should bo remembered, oc
curred in waters which the Germans re
gard as practically one of their "inland
seas." The Cattegat Is the gateway ro
the Baltic. The scene of the fight is 500
miles from the nearest British coast, but
less than 200 miles from Kiel.
An interesting comparison might
made between this clean victory by the
British destroyers and the tip-and-run
raid by the German light cruisers on
British convoy on Ottobcr 17. Tho Ger
mans sent out two of their fastest crnls
ers in the darkness, struck their blow in
nervous haste In the early morning hours,
not even pausing to rescue a single 11.
of hundreds of combatants and non-com
batants, then ran away northward to
spend the remaining hours of daylight In'
hiding and when night fell, dashed down
the Norwegian coast and thus retu-aod
home without being intercepted.
On the occasion of the British vlcti'-y
the fight occurred not in the North sea
bnt on Germany's doorstep; not at night
but In daylight; not hurriedly or nervous
ly, for 64 prisoners were taken, drown
itiff men rescued from the water, thus
providing another! vivid contrast between
German and British methods of warfare.
Moreover, no non-combatant lives were
lost or endangered in the British actlin,
whereas the Germans ruthlessly and un
necessarily sacrificed scores of Innocent
neutrals.

Spokane, Wash., Nov. 21. Future
husbands will be able to step into the
kitchen and can a batch of string benns,
asparagus or any other vegetable or
fruit as well as the women members of
the household if a plan outlined to the
Fruit Growers', convention here today by
Mrs. Elizabeth Deits Jones, assistant
state canning club leader, nnd un, in
structor of the state agricultural college,
Pullman, is generally followed. Mrs.'
Jones told of how communities in Thurs
ton county held canning days on which
whole beeves, calves and hogs were can
ned, and everything wns utilized in the
cooking process from a wnsh tub to an
oil can.
Mrs. Johcfl urged that the school boys
as well as the girls be taught the art
of canning, and that the kitchen stove
and other cooking appurtenances in the
home be standardized with like fixtures
in the various' domestic science schools.
The work of "Mothcr-Dnughter clubs"
designed to share tho responsibility nnd
work of the kitchen between mothers
and their growing girls, was also out
lined. The work of these clubs, nccordlng
to Mrs. Jones is to "demonstrate to the
daughters thnt no worthier work can be
done than efficient housekeeping.
"Thousands of jars of food," she con
tinued, "have been saved by the canning
club work of the state this year."
Tne xruit growers convention is an
adjunct of the National Apple show,
which is now in progress here.
The general establishment of evap
oration plants to save fruits and vege
tables that might otherwise be wasted
through windfall, cull and other sources,
was irrged by Prof. C. C. Vincent of the
University of Idaho horticultural depart
ment in nn address to tho convention.
Professor Vincent said that many
states in the Pacific Northwest nre
forced to import fruits and vegetables
that they themselves grow in abund
ance, ' because of this wastage. He sug
gested various evaporation schemes in
order to secure nil of these products
from the markets.
Professor Vincent urged every farmer
and fruit grower to establish an evapo
rator of some sort. He detailed the sun
drying .process as practiced in Califor
nia laying particular stress on -the sun
drying in -the Santa, Clara valley. '

When The News Is New
The first announcement of the new British offensive
is printed in The Guard today. It is a "scoop" for the
evening paper. The evening paper prints the big war ,
news first, nearly always. Look over the headlines for
months, comparing the morning and evening papers, and
you will find that you get the news when It is new in the
evening paper and that you get "a follow story" in the
morning publication.
The evening papers has an especial advantage on the
Pacific coast. The day's news for the entire nation is
rounded out by the time the last edition goes to press. The
four hours difference in time, between the east and the
west, is a big advantage for the Pacific coast evening
paper.

BRITISH TANKS EFFECTIVE.
British army headquarters, in France,
Tuesday, Nov. 20. The . redoubtable
Hindenburg line in the Cnmbrnl sector
was broken in many places today by the
rreat force of the British tanks, and
this afternoon the infantry, which fol
lowed through the gaps, are still battling
their way forward.
The surprise attack was launched at
dawn over a wide front. In the first
few hours its progress was marked with
evident success, and up to the latest
reports received at this time (4 p. m.)
had been moving nlong regularly ac
carding to schedule.
The resistance offered by the dazed
Germans this morning, waB neglible and
by noon British pioneers already were

considerable numbers had begun to come

The battler was an innovation for the

the army, tanks rested the responsibility
for victory or defeat, and they fulfilled
all expectations. The iron giants went
