RENCIi AND ENGLISH WOULD BORROW BILLION IN AMERICA New York The present plan of the joint Anglo-French financial commis sion, it was reported Tuesday night, is to borrow $1,000,000,000 in the United States on straight British and French government bondB without any col lateral whatever. If this vast sum of money is ob tained, it was said, it is to be spent to the last cent in the United States in payment for cotton, wheat and meat and many commodity shipments, in cluding munitions of war. It will, therefore, in the opinion of financial authorities, be classed as a commercial loan. Whether the neutrality of the Unit ed States would be questioned in case the bankers financing the mammoth loan Bhould accept straight British and French government notes as their se curity has been given serious consider ation. It was Baid that the financiers familiar with the plan had every rea son to believe that the Washington ad ministration would not interfere. The foregoing was the unanimous opinion of many of the scores of prom inent bankers from New York and the chief cities of the country, who have visited the commission at its headquarters here during the three days of its stay in this city. As to its correctness, the members of the com mission declined positively to com ment. All that the -commission cared to publish as authoritative was voiced by Lord Beading, its chairman, who received newspapermen Tor the first time. "We are not in a position to make a statement at the present time, " Lord Reading said, because we are study ing the conditions in New York and elsewhere in relation to American ex change on London and Paris. We have received a considerable number of per sons, prominent bankers and other gentlemen who are interested in the stability of exchange. The one thing that is striking about it is that everybody is agreed, as one would expect, in the great import ance to be attributed to regulating the exchange so as to provide more stable conditions than has been the case re' cently. -. The sudden and considerable drop in the exchange naturally disturbs and must disturb commercial relations be tween the countries the United States and Great Britain and France inasmuch as it makes it so difficult to see ahead What the rate of exchange will be, and moreover, because natur ally it makes such a material differ ence in the prices to be received by the American and the prices to be paid by the Englishman and Frenchman." Canada to Make Big Guns. Ottawa, Ont. Canada is to take up the manufacture of field guns and howitzers for the British government, it was announced here. This was de cided on at a meeting of prominent statesmen and bankers with General Sir Samuel Hughes, minister of mili tia', and General Mahan, of the British war office. No artillery ever has been made in Canada, but a committee was appointed to organize factories to handle the business. The manner in which Canada has filled orders for shells led to the proposal that artillery be fabricated here. SOMETIMES GOOD ONES ARE REMOVED PLEA FOR APPENDIX MADE BY DOCTORS Patient Should Hesitate Before Operation, They Say. State Medical Association of Oregon Ends Enthusiastic Session With . Reading of Good Advice. The old practice of diving into a man's abdomen after his appendix and slicing it off in triumph as soon as he exhibited symptoms of the "belly ache" got roughly handled at the con cluding session of the Oregon State Medical association at the Multnomah Hotel, Portland, Saturday. The modern theory appeared to be quite different. The general advice, as brought out in a spirited discussion of two well-presented papers on ap pendicitis, was to hang on to your ap pendix just as long as you can. The difference was emphasized, howr ever, between acute and chronic ap pendicitis. If you have the acute type, it was generally agreed, it is often better to get the appendix out and have done with it, though, even then, it was declared, it is by no means always necessary to operate. But if you should be troubled with the so-called chronic appendicitis, pro tect the appendix, Btand guard over it, refuse to give it up until the most careful Btudy of the case seems to in dicate beyond a doubt that it can't be made to behave in any other way and deserves to be taken out. In case of doubt, it seemed to be the concensus of opinion, keep your ap pendix. At least be reasonable with it and give it a chance. Don't con demn it on whim, or just because some one is willnig to cut it out for you. In fact, the poor, lambasted appen dix of other days, the once cause of many of the ills of mankind, would have been astounded at the warm de fense it got. The reason for the extreme caution to be observed in removing the ap pendix in case of chronic appendicitis, it was brought out by Dr. Charles E. Sears in a paper on "The Study of the Conditfon Commonly Called Chronic Appendicitis," is that in a great num ber of cases appendicitis isn't the trouble at all, but only a symptom. Belgian Relief Ship Sunk. London A dispatch to Reuter's Tel egram company from Muiden, Holland, says: "The steamer Pomona reports that at 10 o clock Tuesday morning it witnessed the sinking of a British steamer which was flying the signals of the Belgian relief committee. Ten of the crew of the steamer were res cued by steam trawlers." The staff of Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the American Belgian re lief commission, is investigating the report, but has not been able as yet to confirm it. ' Roumania Is Mobilizing. Athens It is reported in diplomatic circles here that there has been heavy mobilization of Roumanian troops, including several regiments of cavalry, to face an unexpected concen tration of Austrians, which is directed presumably against Roumania.

Turkish Town Is Aflame. London The town of Phocaea, Asia Minor, 25 miles northwest of Smyrna, is reported to be in names. A Reuter dispatch from Athens says it is in ferred that the Turks are destroying coast towns and retiring into the in terior in expectation of the fall of the Dardanelles. Dr. Dumba Packing Goods.

Unequivocal "No" Is Reply of General larranza to President Vera Cruz General Venustiano Car- ranza's reply to the appeal for a peace conference is a polite but unequivocal No." In a note issued by Foreign Minister Acuna and delivered to Mr. Silliman Saturday, he declares that he can permit no Interference what ever by foregin governments. He as serts that he is in control now of all Mexico except Chihuahua and Morelos and a part of Sonora. The signers of the note to Carranza are invited to come or to Bend representatives to some point along the Rio Grande for a conference, solely from an interna tional point of view," with the idea that Carranza's government be recog nized as the de facto government of Mexico. . The diplomats are told that Carran za commands an army of 160,000 men, that the functions of public service have been restored, the railways re paired and railway traffic resumed. The note adds that in the fields and the cities there have been re-born the activities of normal life. - The reply explains that a conference with any "conquered faction" would mean the sacrifice by Carrania of the first chieftaincy of the constitutional army and his executive power, and a betrayal of confidence now reposed in him by the people of the army. That Carranza represents the army in mak ing such reply is indicated in a para graph of the note in which the diplo mats are told that they will be able to observe from the answers they receive from the military chiefs and the civil subordinates of Carranza that the first chief "is the only authority that could decide, and, in fact, does decide" mat ters submitted to them. OREGON STATE NEWS Sunday Closing Law Held Valid by State Supreme Court Salem Constitutionality of the Sun day closing law was upheld by Jusice Burnett, of the Supreme court, when he reversed the decision of Circuit Judge Morrow in the case of the State against Leigh E. Nichols, appealed from Lane county. Nichols was charged with keeping his cigar store open Sunday. .. : - That the decision may result in a more stringent enforcement oi the state law prohibiting the keeping open on Sunday of any "store, shop, gro cery, bowling alley, billiard -room, or tippling house ... or any place of amusement" is believed probable by attorneys and others here who have studied it. The law exempts from its provisions theaters, drug stores, doc tors' offices, undertakers, livery stable keepers, butchers and bakers. In the attack upon the constitution ality of the statute, attorney for Nich ols contended that it was violating sec tion 20 of article of the state constitu tion, which declares that "no law shall be passed granting to any citizen or class of citizens, privileges or immuni ties which, upon the same terms, BhaH not equally belong to all citizens. That the measure also was contrary to the 14th amendment to the Federal constitution was alleged. Oregon State to Display at Show. For the second time Oregon counties and communities are invited to par ticipate in the Manufacturers' & Land Products show at Portland. The great fall exposition will open in the' Armory and special buildings on October 25 and close November 13. Already more than a dozen counites have asked for space. The exposition comes at a time of the year when all county fairs and the State Fair at Salem are over, and the agricultural and horticultural displays will show the greatnesB of the state along these lines. The exposition will be presented by the chamber of commerce and the man agement has decided to give space free to all counties or communities in the state desiring to make a display.

While the show is in progress consumer will meet producer and the discriminating buyer will be in a position to learn the location, quality and variety of soil products in which they are interested. The exposition will be the direct means of creating a demand for cer tain articles in which counties of the state specialize, besides creating many new markets. The vast array of ex hibits will also be of great help to prospective homeseekera and will pre sent to them a truthful lesson in Ore gon geography. Thousands of visitors will be In Portland en route to or returning from the California exposition at the time the land show is in progress, and the exhibits of the soil will be viewed by people from almost every state in the Union.- Severral hundred farmers from Eastern, and Middle Western states will visit the exposition en route to San Francisco to see what Oregon land produces. .

Snyder and Mr. McKelvey, who are associaated in the enterprise, are expected to arrive here in a few days. PRESIDENT TO STOP GERMAN PLOTTING Wilson Will Jell Dr. Dumba He Is Persona Non Grata. GPAN EMBASSY APPEARS INVOLVED Government Determined to Crush All Intrigues to'.Draw United States Into European Cataclysm. Washintgon, D. C President Wil son and Secretary Lansing have deter mined to Call a halt on the widespread conspiracies and plots to shut down munitions factories in the United States by strong and affirmative action in the case of Dr. Dumba. - They also have decided to force each American traveling abroad to under stand that the passport he carries is a badge of honor and not a cloak for service with a belligerent government. It waB learned that Secretary Lan sing has cabled to the American min ister at The Hague formally announc ing the cancellation of the passport issued to James F. J. Archibald, who acted as Dr. Dumba's messenger. Dr. Dumba is on the verge of being told that he is persona non grata. Of that there is not the slightest doubt. The action of this goverrnment is be ing delayed until it has obtained pos session of all the papers carried by Archibald. This much, however, is certain : By the steps to be taken the Presi dent is determined to show the em phatic disapproval of the American government in respect to the efforts and intrigues of belligerent diplomats to involve the United Staets in the European conflict. For months now the administration has been worried by the activities of sympathizers with the central powers, and there has been obtained evidence connecting the German embassy with their operations. The President has been patient and tolerant, withholding positive action because of the delicate international situation, but the Dumba matter has filled the measure to overflowing. It is viewed as an attack on American sovereignity and American neutrality, and as absolutely confirming charges made by President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, and others. Target five Miles Out Hit at Night by fort Stevens Gunners Fort Stevens, Or. Twelve half-ton shots were fired at a distance of ap proximately five miles Thursday night at a target towed directly away from the batteries by a speeding boat with only 800 yards' space between the tar get and the towing vessel. The practice was by indirect fire, the mortar gunners of the 93d com pany, under Captain Leonard Waldron, being directed from observation sta tions 9000 feet away from the guns. The observers used 60-inch search lights of 600,000 candle power each, to find the target, one of the obsberva tion stationa being 14,000 feet from the target. It was estimated that 80 per cent of the shots fell within the target space, which is about one-fifth the dimensions of the deck of a modern battleship. The observers on the tug have not yet reported all the data on the practice. All shells fired ascend to a height greater than the distance of the target from the guns, so they may drop on the deck, the most vulnerable part of modern. war vessels. Brigadier General Seibert, in com mand of the Coast Artillery, witnessed the practice, as did several prominent Astorians. . The Hunting Season IS OPEN- Shoot the "BLACK SHELL" With Selby Loads.
