Washington, D. C President Wil
son Is facing a revolt in congress in
connection with his Mexican policy.
Following the meeting of the cabi
net Saturday the fact was allowed to
become public that President Wilson
had decided not to send troops into
Mexico, but would depend on General
Carranza to punish the murderers of
the Americana killed at Santa Ysabel,
Chihuahua, and to aid that Mexican
leader in every proper way to establish
peace and' order throughout the neigh
boring country.
This policy is by no means satisfac
tory to the great majority of the mem
bers of the senate and house. There
is a rising sentiment for intervention,
which the President is earnestly en
deavoring to check. He is urging and
pleading that he be permitted to con
tinue to handle the situation in his
own way, promising the results will be
satisfactory to congress and the country.
He is dwelling on the assurances he
has received from General Carranza
that the assassins are being actively
pursued and when captured will re
ceive condign punishment and that
Btrong patrols have been established
along the railway to guard against
outrages similar to that which occur
red at Santa Ysabel.
Through members of his cabinet,
Senator Stone, chairman of the senate
foreign relations committee; Repre
sentative Flood, chairman of the house
foreign affairs committee, and others,
he is applying pressure to senators and
representatives for the purpose of in
ducing them to refrain from putting
through a resolution which would
force him to put troops in Mexico.
Thus far the President's efforts have
not met with any noteworthy success,
Doubtless, In the end, he will be tri
umphant, but the feeling in both bod
ies, particularly the senate, is ngly.
The debate in the senate Saturday, for
example, developed the moat insistent
demand yet heard for immediate ac
tion. Nobody seemed to give any
weight to the Carranza assurances that
the brigands would be captured and
punished. Nobody paid any attention
to the official report that Generals Al
meida and Rodriguez had been arrest
ed and shot at Madera. It was ap
parently assumed that the men had not
participated in the Santa Ysabel as
sassination, and, even if they had done
so, it is doubtful if the temper of the
senate would have been sensibly modi
fied. - -
Germans to Take Reprisals on
British as Retaliatory Measure
Berlin, by wireless to Sayville The
German government has transmitted
to Great Britain, through the Ameri
can embassy, a note which declared
that, as a result of Great Britain's
failure to fulfill Germany's demand for
an explanation of the circumstances
surrounding the sinking of a German
submarine by the British patrol boat
Baralong, Germany will adopt suitable
measures of reprisal.
Germany first made demands several
weeks ago through the United States
embassies at Berlin and London on the
British government for punishment of
the captain and crew of the patrol boat
Baralong as murderers for the alleged
killing of the commander and 10 mem
bers of the crew of a German submar
ine after the submarine had been sunk
by the Baralong, which surprised the
underwater craft while it was making
an attack on the British mule steamer
Nicoaian.

SURRENDERS TO POWERFUL fOE
Berlin The king and the govern
ment of Montenegro on January 18
asked a cessation of hostilities and
opening of peace negotiations it was
officially announced by Auatro-Hungar-ian
headquarters Tuesday. .
The Austro-Hungarian government
replied to Montenegro that peace ne
gotiations were only possible if the
Montenegrin army unconditionally laid
down its arms, the headquarters state
ment, as received here from Vienna,
says. The Montenegrin government,
adds the statement has accepted the
Austrian conditions.
Montenegro asks for peace," said
Count Tisza in the Hungarian parlia
ment. The proceedings under the first
paragraph of the order of the day had
just been completed when Count Tisza
asked permission to interrupt the dis
cussion. He said that the King and
government of Montenegro had asked
the inauguration of peace negotiations.
The announcement caused a great com
motion in Parliament.
We asked that beforehand Monte
negro unconditionally lay down ner
arms." -
Gale Sweeps Southern California,
Blowing Down 400 Oil Derricks
Bakersfield, Cal. Sweeping with
the violence of a tornado, a southwest
gale blew for three hours in the Mid
way oil district, starting Tuesday af
ternoon, destroying property estimated
at $260,000. More than 400 derricks
were blown down'and several engine
houses in the oil fields were wrecked.
Several dwellings and bunkhouses
were also toppled over. The damage
was greatest in the North Midway and
McKittrick districts, where more than
250 derricks were destroyed.
The San Franclsco-Kittirck boiler-
house was wrecked In an explosion
when a crown block went crashing
through the immense boiler. The
Associated Oil company lost 64 out of
84 oil derricks.
At Los Angeles two men were re
ported drowned and more than 100
people were homeless as a result of
the heavy rain storm which caused al
most every river and stream in South

Allies Land Troops Near Capital
of Greece to force Country's Hand
Berlin Berlin newspapers, accord
ing to the Overseas News agency, ex
press the belief that the landing of
allied troops at Phaleron, five miles
southeast of Athens, is considered as
supplying proof that the entente pow
ers intend using extreme means to
force the hand of Greece. I
The news agency says that according
to prevalent reports, the Greek gov
ernment has transferred part of the
state archives to LariBsa, in North
western Greece, where, eventually,
the Greek government likewise will be
transferred. -
Berlin newspapers, commenting on
the latest news regarding Greece,
unite in stating that the entente seems
to have abandoned all regard for Greek
neutrality and sovereignty. The land
ing at Phaleron is regarded as proof
that the entente is now going to use
extreme means for forcing Greece into
the war.
Liquor Seized in Prohibition Raid
on Fashionable Seattle Resort
Seattle The Rainier club, the prin
cipal club in Seattle, was raided late
Tuesday by deputy sheriffs who confis
cated 400 quarts of whiBky, cham
pagne, gin and other intoxicants. The
raid was made under direction of Sher
iff Robert P. T. Hodge, who obtained
a search warrant authorizing his dep
uties to enter every room in the large
clubhouse at Fourth avenue and Mar
ion street.
None of the liquor was found in the
old barroom or in the club's storeroom
in the basement. Most Of it was
found in a trunk hidden in a locked
linen closet on the fourth floor. The
house manager said that he had no key
to the closet and the officers forced
open the door.
Other seizures were made in mem
bers' rooms, where more than the stat
utory allowance of two quarts of
spirituous or 12 quarts of malt liquor
was found. The property of members
having less than these amounts was
not disturbed.

Striking Ruin Is Found.
Washington, D. C The most "strik
ing ruin yet unearthed by archaeolo
gists in America has been found by Dr.
rewkes, of the Smithsonian Institu
tion, who has made his report to the
Interior department The mound, the
largest of any thus far found, was in
Mesa Verde National Park in New
Mexico, and apparently waa built for
religious rites and ceremonials. It
has been named Sun Temple. There
are 26 rooms, and the walls, which
total more than 1000 feet in length,
average lour feet thick.
Pullman Inquiry Dropped.
San Francisco Investigation of
rates, service and labor conditions of
the Pullman company in California waa
dropped by the Railroad Commission
of California, after Intermittent hear
ings since April 26, 1914. The com
pany, it was said, complied in part
with the commission's views by in
creasing porters' wages. Objections
to the company's methods, advanced by
the commission at several hearings,
were held to spring from tipping.
U-Boat Could Carry Milk.
New York That it would be entire
ly feasible to have submarine m
chantmen carry milk to the babies in
the central empires was the opinion
given by Lieutenant Commander Craft,
of the New York navy yard, to the cit
izens committee for food shipments.
"If the submarine were constructed
for the purpose," said Lieutenant
Craft, "there is no scientific reason
why it could not make a voyage across
the Atlantic with a cargo. The idea
of a submarine for blockade-running is
new but practical."
NEW PLAN OF TESTING
PUPILS TO BE TRIED IN
EIGHRGRADE EXAMS.
In this May and June Etghth'grade
examinations new plan will, be tried
in testing the pupils In thesubjects of
U. S. History and. Civil .Government,
according toa statement issued by
State Superintendent of Public In
struction J. A. Churchill. During' the
examination the pupils will be allowed
to refer to their text'books, but the
questions will be so framed as'to test
the ability of the pupil in expressing
what he has learned in clear, concise
language. The advantages of such a
plan are, that it permits the teachers
to emphasize the historical events
which she considers most' important;
it gives the trained teacher greater
freedom, so that she can do a much
higher quality of work than simply
helping the pupils to "cram" for an
examination; it frees the teacher and
the pupils from so teaching and study
ing as to make the examination the
end; it tends to give the pupils power
of expression and eliminates the mem
orizing of unimportant dates and facts.
"There is alwaya danger," said Su
perintendent Churchill, "of the ex
amination system developing a ques
tion and answer method of teaching.
Any plan whereby the examination be
comes the end is unpedagogical, and
the examination usually deteriorates
into a memory test With this new
plan, if the teacher will adopt it for
the pupils' monthly tests, they will
learn by the close of the year how to
use the' text as merely a reference
work in writing their final papers. The
questions will be bo worded that it will
be impossible for the pupil to copy any
amonut from the text book, but he will
find help by taming to it to refresh
his memory on some point that has es
caped him just for the moment. When
writing an examinatoin a pupil often
finds that he cannot recall the answer
to a question. He is then liable to be
come so nervous and frightened that
he will fail in the entire examination.
This is really the common-sense way to
prepare a pupil for his work in the
every day world, for if a man has to
write an article or prepare a paper on
any subject, he does not attempt to
depend upon his memory for the proof
which he wishes to use from various
seources to substantiate his state
ments; rather, he has on his table a
number of reference works dealing
with the subject upon which he is
writing;. v
The eighth grade examinations, to a
very large exent, set the standard of
teaching, and I am very confident that
this new plan will strengthen the work
in the eighth grade and give the pupil
much more power and confidence than
he gains from the memory tests. If
his class standing has been high dur
ing the year and his English class
work has been below par, the open
book will be of no help to him during
the short hour of his examination."
FARMERS' AND HOME-MAKERS'
SHORT COURSE IN SESSION
Corvallis Many pars of Oregon are
represented in the gathering of farm
ers and homemakers at the Agricultur
al college for the annual short course
work which beagn last week. Un
like the work of Farmers' week the
short oourse work ij carried on with
the regular college work, and it ex
tends over a period of four weeks,
Much of the work is given'as class and
personal Instruction through lectures,
demonstrations and laboratory exer
cises. In many instances the training
is made a personal matter, specialists
of the college staff directing the work
of individuals in their chosen courses.
Eight courses are offered in fields
and crops, eight in farming combined
with raising livestock and dairying,
eleven in creamery work and dairying,
five in garment making and house
keeping, five in food preparation, ten
in orcharding, and two in wood and
metal shop work.
In each of these selections can be
made and more or less optional work
taken, as in orcharding, where use can
be made of the special facilities
offered by the college . in pruning or
spraying or other specialty. By com
pleting the prescribed work in any of
the foregoing courses, students may
receive a certificate setting forth the
work accomplished. Some of the
courses are progressive and require
minimum of work in specified subjects
as an entrance requirement
In addition to the work of the fore
going courses a series of lectures on
commercial and business subjects, on
poultry, history, economics, zoology,
chemistry, farm accounting, and high
way construction, will be given
throughout the four weeks. For fur

Fish. Market Short.
Tacoma FreBh 'halibut is reported
scarce on the local market. ; Dealers,
however, expect regualr shipments to
begin and keep up after a week ' or so.
Receipts are far below the demand
and the fish is going at ' 9c to 11c a
pound. What is being received is of
excellent quality. The shortage is
attributed directly to the fact that
fishermen laid off work during the holi
days and after that the weather was
too stormy to permit them to make
any reasonable catches.
Salmon also is reported scarce, with
not enough being obtained to accom
modate the trade. Steelheads and
Alaska kings are the only varieties
received. The steelheads are- being
caught in the Columbia and other
Northwest rivers, in the Grays Harbor'
and Puget Sound districts. The kings
come from Alaska.
Butter remains at the advanced
prices and is very firm, say jobbers, at
14c a pound. No change either
way is expected for some time. Prac
tically no Oregon butter is being re
ceived, but what little does come in is
moving out at 32c a pound.
Ranch eggs are a bit easier, dealers
setting prices down at 8436c a dozen
to encourage sales, they say.
The local produce market shows no
change. The boards are well supplied
and dealers are doing a good business.
Aberdeen Plans Activity,
Aberdeen, Wash. A campaign to

directors and later by a large commer

new executive committee for the
Chamber of Commerce will be elected
by a committee of ten, named at the
annual meeting.
Butter Prices Up Four Cents,
Portland A 4-cent advance In but
ter is announced, which puts the
local market on a 82-cent basis for
the best city cubes. The main reason
for the rise waa a sharp advance at
Seattle on both butter and butterfat
The San Francisco market waa also
strong. The cold snap has curtailed
production, and there has been no ex
cess of the best city creamery butter
on the market for some time.
The egg market ia holding about
steady. Receipts are of fair size, con
sidering the cold weather.
Ten Per Cent More Applea Than 1015,
Washington, D. C The country's
store of apples on January 1 waa about
10 per cent larger than It waa a year
ago. A statement lasuea oy me ae-
partment of agriculture said tnia waa
true despite the fact that the supply
decreased 12 per cent during Decem
ber. The figures show that 8,881,000
barrels and 3.049,000 boxes of applea
comprised the country's apple supply
the first of the year.

recent exception stands out Three
days before Christmas the Pittsburgh
Bank for Savings was closed by the

who had about four dollars apiece to
their credit The bank had had an
arrangement with the board of educa
tion by which collectors visited the
schools every week and got the chil
dren's pennies. When the bank closed
all the children had for their pains
was the chance of a 60 per cent divi
dend some two months later. But
Henry C. Frlck came forward that
same day and said briefly that the
kids were to have all their money at
once. - So the storm passed by for
those young depositors and their faith
In men waa Justified. Mr, Frlck has

Where the Strong Are Weakest
Tn view of the deadly Inroads of
grippe and pneumonia and the warn

public health authorities, a word ad
dressed especially to the strong and
well may not be amiss. Though seem
ingly remarkable, It Is a perfectly logi
cal fact that both grippe and pneu
monia find their greatest number of
victims among persons who are in
normal health. The latter disease, In
fact seems rather partial to excep
tionally robust persons, and. In every
day parlance, the stouter they are the
