Some well posted persons In Washington, according to reports, thought this was one step toward intervention, provided President Wilson decided he could no longer keep up his policy of “ watchful waiting.” The pictures ahow typical scenes of the soldiers reaching their destination. W United States The action ol the Mexicans, therefore, iD taking the two men from the boat was technic ally an invasion of the United States. Unless disavowed and apologized for, our Government was lawfully justified iu regarding it as an act of war. The captured Americans were released after some hours and allow ed to return to their ship. When Admiral Mayo learned the facts he promptly demanded ot the Mexican commandant an apology, the punishment of the officer who had made the artest, and a salute of 21 guns to the American flag. He made his demands first and re ported to Washington after. Wash ington approved the demand. Admiral Mayo at first insisted that the salute lie fired before six o’clock cn Friday, the day of the arrest. Afterwards he agreed to extend the time, to give the Mex ican commandant at Tampico lime to ask for instructions from ihe Huerta government at the Ciiy of Mexico waiting was past and the battleships were on the way. Apology for an affront to the American flag was not a matter that could lie postpon ed or arbitrated, He was given to understand that as soon as the fleet could be assembled in Mexican waters stern measures would be taken unless the apology and salute were forthcoming. When it ordered the big fleet to Mexican waters the Administration issued an unofficial statement to the press It said that the affront to the flag, at Tampico, was but one of a long series of slights and affronts, some of which had not been made public. In one case the Huerta government had even presumed to hold a dispatch from our State Department to Charge O ’Shaughnessy, until it could be examined by the censor. The statement says: "These re peated offenses against the rights and dignity of the United States . . . have necassarily made the impression that the Government of In the meantime Mr. O ’Shaugh- the United States was singled out nessy, informed from Washington, for manifestations of ill will and had made the same demand upon contempt.” — Current Events o the fact that "half a century ago an ocean going vessel of more than 300 feet . , was not in exis tence ” Parsing along to the “ ves sels more than nine hundred feet long,” be commented that “ the ■ nd is not yet." The "Imperator” will yield its proud position as Queen ot Ihe Seas next month, when its sister ship, the “ Vater- laud” reaches the Hamburg-Araer- ican Line dock in the North River. This floating palace is 950 feet long, 100 feet in width, and as in the case ot the Imperator her hull has been constructed with a complete inuer skin carried high above the water line, making her a ship with in a ship. The owners of this boat say she is “ proof against collision or similar accidents.” In this mod ern palace there has been recruited a complete fire department picked from German cities, and there are more than a sufficient number ot life boats to accommodate all on board. One sometimes marvels at the great improvements in the Ameri can navy, and the old Oregon that brought comfort to the American people in the Spanish-American war, is now a back number in com parison to the modern dreadnaughts that are entertaining the Mexicans. But the "Vaterland” marks an epuch in shipbuilding far more im portant than the growth shown in ihe navies of the world. Eight hundred passengers can be seated at one time in the dining room, and it is doubtful whether there is a hotel iu the United States more sumptuous in its parlors than the great public cabin, which is roofed with glass, uninterrupted by pillars or supports ol any kind, and illum- iuated by concealed lights. So com plete is this room that it is equipp ed with a theatrical stage. What would the masters of Cou gressman Sparkman’s early bulks thiuk ol the modern Hamburg- America ship, with its 4 Captains and Commodore over all; equipped with swimming pools that put to shame some of those in ihe best gymuas iums; with smoking rooms as big as the porch of a summer hotel; and with a barber shop big enough for a small city. And in ihe first cabin alone there are more than 250 baths. The “ Vaterland” is not only a ship rich in elegance and comlort for the passengers who can pay for the best, but its second-class cabins outrival the first-class of many modern trans-Atlantic liners, while the first class cabins of a generation ago were inferior to the cabins pro vided for the immigrants who will arrive on the "Vaterland’’ the mid dle of next month. -------------- ----- Big Car Fails on Beach. A meeting whose influence for good will long be felt in Ooquille is the Citizen’s Conference, under the auspices of the Uiegon Social Hy- gene Society, to be held Saturday night, May 2, 8 p m., at the Court House. Invitations are being sent out by a local committee to a limit ed number of representative men to attend A program committee composed ol E. E Johnson, J, J. Stanley. R S Kncwlton, L. H. Hazard, A J. M. Robertson, R. H. Mast, W. H. Lyons and P. E. Drane, has carefully prepared a program in which local speakers will be assisted by Dr. Calvin S. Vhite, Secretary State Board of Health, irom Portland. The social diseases, commonly known as “ The Great Red Plague” will be the problem for the consid eration of those present. It has been only within recent years that the attention of thinking people has Eieen called by skilled medical authority to the fact that thous ands of the finest red-blooded young men and older hoys of the country are becoming infected with these diseases, aud are afterwards marrying into the best families only to pass the dread infection to their innocent wives and children. The case of the young man who would have his fling and later supposing himself cured of a disease acquired, unsexed his wife or Erecame the father of a hliud child is a case (hat is sadly too well known and needs no further comment. This conference is a call for sane and constructive action Every man in the city who is earnestly interested in the welfare of the home aud the protection ot girls and boys will plan to attend. Besides results of sexual vice, causes of and remedies for, the evil will be discussed, especial attention being devoted to the need of pa rents properly equipping their chil dren with facts regarding the true nature of sex rather than allowing them tj get their information from untrust worthy and p e r n i c i o u s sources. The Oregon Social Hygiene So ciety, with whose co-operation the movement is being organized here, is regarded as ihe leading society of its kind in the country. Other societies in the land readily con cede this, and are looking to the Oregon society for leadership. Branch societies already have Ereen organized in Astoria, Albany, Ba ker, Corvallis, Cottage Grove, Eu gene, The Dalles, Forest Grove, Hillsboro, Hood River, LaGrande, Oregon City, Pendleton, Roseburg, Salem, McMinnville, and are doing excellent educational work in those cities. Within the two and a half years of its existence, the society has published and distributed ap proximately 400,000 copies of cir culars, has given talks on sex hy giene before over 50.000 men, wo men, young men, young women, in mills, shops, department stores, laundries, business offices, social halls, and o t h e r miscellaneous places; has displayed exhibits lie- fore over 80,000 people; has en gaged in a successful campaign against quack doctors, quack nos trums, and advertising specialists who have played on the ignorance and credulity of boys and men. Prominent and representative men throughout the state are its execu tive committeemen, members, Eiene- factors and friends This is a meeting tor men. Ad mission is by invitation only. Ma yor A. T. Morrison will "reside. The program follows: “ The Seriousness and Prevalence of the Social Diseases and their Wm. Candlin returned Friday Irom a trip to the Siuslaw, getting back a day sooner than expected He reports that the auto line from Ooos Bay to the Umpqua is a great success and makes that part of the trip much shorter and pleasanter than the old stage line. The trip up the beach Is made in about an hour or less, as against about four hours with the horses. Three Fords are used on the route, a team being kept at Tenmile to assist the machine across the creek. Be tween the Umpqua and Siuslawi however, a different story is told. The auto in use is a large truck with wide tires but so little power that 15 miles an hour is about the best she can do. The engine is chronically out of whack, so that several breakdowns occurred upon the way up and hours were spent in tinkering the motor. Board tracks have been laid in places where the sand is soft, but the sand Eeffct upon the Individual and drifts over these and the machine the Home.” Dr. Walter Culin gets off, involving long delays It is sometimes necessary to send men "Present Conditions Among Girls and Boys."
