No. 44, 1918 o I 'f 'ijf KEGS ft BARRELS 1 V wANKS CLASH NOT ffiyfflT OVER FRENCH ACT Seizure of Chinese Territory Does Not ' Alarm Washington. LOCALITY IS MOST ROMANTIC Tien-Tsin, With Practically no Trade, Develops Tremendously Under Influence of Foreigners. Washington, D. C. Seizure by French troops of an additional square mile of territory contiguous to the French concessions in Tien-tsin, in de fiance of the Chinese foreign office, just reported In cable dispatches from Pekin, brings to the front one of the most complicated and most romantic points of conflict between old China and the Western world. Officials here indicated Monday that as an international affair little import ance was attached to France s action. Tien-Btin, back in the days when foreign ambassadors sought admission to China in vain, merely was a small, dirty town, with practically no trade. In 1860, after the British and French had forced their way over the Taku forts and humbled the Manchus at Pekin, the right of residence was granted to the subjects of the two countries. The United States, an interested on looker, won the same right soon after ward, and Germany entered into the arrangement in 1861. Separate sec tions for the four nationalities were set aside and small local centers of residence and trade grew up. In a few years, however, the American government abandoned its settlement, first, because it had no use for it, and no .money to pay for it, and, second, because, under the conditions it had become known as the "middle king dom" between the German and British concessions, where all sorts of lawless ness prevailed. Tien-tsin grew fast, and construction of the railroad in 1897 made Tien-tsin the premier city of that whole vast section. In 1900 came the boxer re bellion, when Tientsin became the base for the march of the nation on the capital. In 1894 Japan secured a settlement in the city, and after 1900, Russia, Belgium, Italy and Austria obtained concessions on the left bank of the riv er, making nine foreign nations hold ing and administering small slices of territory. German Airman Shot Down in Sunday Raid en British Coast London A hostile aeroplane ap peared Sunday over the fortified sea port of Sheerness, at the mouth of the Thames. Four bombs were dropped. No casualties have been reported offi cially. An official communication issued here says: "A hostile seaplane was shot down and destroyed Sunday afternoon by one of our naval aircraft. The machine fell into the sea. Judging by .the time, it probably was the seaplane which visited Sheerness Sunday." The following official accouut of the attack was given out : "A hostile aeroplane approached Sheerness at about 1 :45 p. m. Sunday, flying very high. Four bombs were dropped, three of which fell into the harbor. The fourth fell in the vicin ity of a railway station and damaged several railway carriages. "British aeroplanes went up and the raider made off in a northeasterly di rection. No casualties have been re ported." Armed Steamer Delayed. Philadelphia The departure of the British steamship Missouri from this port to Baltimore was delayed Monday owing to the fact that the vessel, be ing engaged in a coastwise trip, car ried a gun on her after deck. Clear ance papers which were held up on orders from the Treasury department at Washington, were later granted when formal assurances that the vessel was armed for defense purposes only were made to the State department. The Missouri arrived at this port from London, carrying merchandise. Unfair Election Charged. Managua, Nicaragua Reprenenta tives of the Liberal party have sent a protest to President Wilson against the recent elections, in which General Emiliano Chamorro was elected presi dent of the republic, accusing Presi dent Adolfo Diaz of not complying with his promise to permit an abso lutely fair ballot. The protest says also that the American minister, Ben jamin L. Jefferson, imposed on the Liberals conditions which amounted to the exclusion of the party from the participation in the government. Sheriff Sent to Jail. Columbus, O. Sheriff Alonzo T. Swepston, of Ross county, vice presi dent of the American Sheriffs' associa tion and president of the Ohio Sheriffs' association, was sentenced to 40 days in the Delaware county jail by United States Judge John E. Sater here for permitting federal prisoners in his custody to take long automobile rides and have other liberties, tie was re leased on $500 bond pending a hearing of the case on error. World Crop Falls Short. Rome, via Parity The total wheat harvest of the world is estimated by the International Agricultural Instv tute as 7 per cent below the average and 25 per cent below that of last year. The Institute's report includes, for the first time, the crop of Euro pean Kuaais, which it estimates to be 20 per cent less than that of last year. GREAT INFLUX OF GOLD PROMOTES EXTRAVAGANCE BY AMERICAN PEOPLE Chicago There is a marked contrast between the tendency of the American people and those of the Old World at this time in the matter of thrift. In America business has been bo active and profits in many instances so large that the American people appear to be spending money in a reckless manner and to'be indulging in extravagances, which, a few years ago, would have spelled ruin. The whole world is spending money recklessly, but across the Atlantic the expenditures are confined chiefly to governmental agencies, while the peo ple are paying the bills. It is this supply of money that has forced in vestors to dig deep into their strong boxes and bring forth certificates of American investment-bearing dates of a quarter century or more ago. The tremendous influx of gold into this country, following the enormous inpouring of foreign trade, together with the inability of the American Three New Generals. Generals Francis H. French, Chas. G. Treat, Eben Swift. The American army, which has the best educated officers in the world (with the possible ecxeption cf the German army), now has three new generals. Colonel Francis H. French of the Twenty-first infantry, has been promoted and will succeed General Granger Adams as chairman of the board to investigate rapid-fire guns, pf which the United States will purchase $12,000,000 worth. Colonel Eben Swift, Btationed at the army service school at Fort Leavenworth, will suc ceed General John J. Pershing, who becomes major general in succession to the late Major Albret L. Mills. . Col onel Charles G. Treat, of the field ar tillery, will become a brigadier to suc ceed General F. W. Sibley, retired. He is now of the general staff and vice president of the war college. banking and currency system to adjust itself to these abnormal conditions, has tended to make money cheap. Henry Baker, the special commer cial attache of the American legation at Petrograd, gives the information that little or no gold or Bilver is circu lating in Russia. There is a tendency abroad, how ever, to conserve resources, while the tendency in America is to be more lavish in expenditures. There is an element of thrift among the more conservative business men. Many large corporations have been buying bonds as the means of employ ing their accumulations of profit rather than allow these funds to remain in b.inks drawing the interest of the daily balance. Railroads Are Helpless. Washington, D. C The Interstate Commerce commission made public Monday a report of its inspectors on the car famine in Nebraska, saying that the railroads are furnishing all the cars they can supply to meet an unprecedented demand, but that it is impossible for them to furnish a suffi cient number under the circumstances. The only way the situation can be im proved is to provide considerable loco motive and car equipment and to in crease the capacity of railroad facili ties by several hundred per cent. Bias Charged by German. San Francisco Franz Bopp, consul general for Germany in this city, asked the United States District court here in an affidavit read by his attorney to take judicial notice of alleged prejudice against and antipathy toward German consular representatives in the United States, due apparently to the European war. The affidavit was offered during argument of a motion to consolidate for trial several of the Federal grand jury indictments against Bopp and others on charges of conspiracy. The de fense demanded separate trials.

The 7-cent bulge in the Chicago wheat market this week met with a quick response in the northwest High er bids were at once sent Into the country and the scramble to buy be gan. Details were lacking as to the amount of business done, but it was bellevedTthat well over 1,000,000 bush els changed hands. The advance put bluestera 3 to 4 cents above the high point reached just before the submarine raid and raised the cheaper grades of wheat to the level that prevailed then. Blue stem sold locally at $1.42 and there was considerable buying In the Inter ior on the basis of $1.43 Coast, with reports of as high as $1.45 also paid. At the Merchants' Exchange five thousand bushols of November blue- stem were sold at $1.42. fortyfold and club bids were raised 2 tu 3 cents, fife 3 cents and red Russian 3 to 4 cents. The Chicago advance was ascribed to short covering, following recent heavy sales to foreigners. More dis astrous reports from Argentina and increased demand from the British and French governments for North Amer ican wheat accompanied the rise. It was said that of the Canadian crop, 25 to 30 per cent has been found to be unfit for milling. The local oats market also gained in strength. Bids for all deliveries were advanced 75 cents at the ex change. Brewing barley was unchang ed in the country, but feed barley" was quoted $1 higher here. Local millers announced a 20-cent advance In patent and valley flours, Domestic and export straights were not changed. The new flour quotation of $7.20 equals the highest point ever recorded here, which was in February, 1915. Bradstreet's estimates the world's visible wheat Increase at 11,500,000 bushels. The Canadian visible- wheat supply Is 16,317,000 bushels, the oats supply 1,450,000 bushels. Highest Egg Price of Season. Portland. Eggs sold at the Produce Exchange this week at 39 cents for current receipts, the highest price of the season. On the Bireet sales were reported at 38 cents. Receipts were small and the demand by no means active. Aprils were offered at 33 cents with 31 cents bid. The butter market was firm. Extras In the open market brought 36 cents. At the exchange 35V& cents was bid and 36 Va cents was asked. Dressed meats were in large supply and veal was weak with 11 cents the top and 10 x cents a clean up price. Pork steady at 1212 Hop Market Is Again Strong. Hop buying has again become active In the Pacific Coast markets. Prices, which Bhowed a tendency to sag re cently, have recovered, and the mar ket is again strong. A number of Ore gon lots have changed hands in the past two days at 11 to 12 cents. In the Yakima section there were bids out at 13 to KiMi cents, and it was re ported that one lot was sold at 14 cents. There was also fairly large buying in western Washington at 11V4 to 12 cents. Sonomas were sold at prices ranging from 12 to 13 cents. Portland.
