GERMAN SUBMARINE IN AMERICAN PORT U-Liner Crosses Atlantic With Cargo of Valaable Dyestuffs. KAISER WRITES TO PRESIDENT Vessel Successfully Breaks Blockade of British Warships Will Take Home Needed Supplies. Baltimore The world's firBt subma rine merchant vessel, the German un derwater liner Deutschland, anchored below Baltimore Sunday night, after voyaging safely across the Atlantic, passing the allied blockading squad rons and eluding enemy cruisers watching for her oft the American coast. She carried a message from Emperor William to President Wilson, a quan tity of mail estimated at 150 tons and a cargo of 760 tons of costly chemicals and dyestuffs, and is to carry back home a similar amount of nickel and crude rubber sorely needed by the Ger man army. Sixteen days out from Bremerhaven to Baltimore, the submarine reached safety between the Virginia capes at 1:45 o'clock Sunday morning, by a heavy pall of darkness which settled over the entrance of the bay, with the Betting of a tell-tale half moon. Once inside, the visitor threw cau tion aside and began shrieking his si ren signalling a pilot and at the same time attracting the attention of the tug Thomas F. Timmons, which had been waiting in the lower bay for nearly two weeks to greet the Deutsch land and convoy her into port. Little was known here about what happened during the epoch-making cruise across the ocean, which in a small measure at least breaks the blockade on German trade with the reBt of the world. None of the sub marine's crew had landed and the agents of her owners had received only meager reportB. Such information as was available came directly from the pilot and from Captain Hans F. Hinsch, of the North German Lloyd Liner Neckar, laid up here since the beginning of the war. J. f. Gillies, Washington State . Fund Looter, Escapes From Jail FRENCH AND BRITISH TAKE EIGHT MILES Of GERMAN TRENCHES London The capture of the whole of the Germans' first system of defense on a front of 14,000 yards (nearly eight miles) after 10 days and nights of continuous fighting, was announced Wednesday in the official report from British headquarters in France. The mimher of Drisoners taken exceeds 7500. ' ' "After 10 days and nights of contin uous fighting our troops have complet ed methodical capture of the whole of the enemy s first system of defense on a front of 14,000 yards," says there- port. "The system of defense consist ed of numerous and continuous lines of fire trenches, support trenches and re serve trenches, extending for various depths from 2000 to 4000 yards. It included five strongly fortified villages, numerous heavily wired and entrench ed woods and a large number of im mensely strong redoubts. The capture of each of these trenches represented an operation of some importance, and the whole of them are now in our hands. The German succes in the recap ture of Trones Wood, after costly cas ualties, was of short duration. Tues day we recaptured nearly the whole of this wood. All but the northern most end is again in our hands. "Apart from the number of guns hidden in houses and buried in the de bris, etc., we have in the course of these operations brought in 26 field guns, one naval gun, one anti-aircraft gun, and one heavy howitzer, while the number of German prisoners cap tured exceeds 7500." Railroad Company Takes Land Grant Issue Into Courts Washington, D. C The Oregon & California Railway company Wednes day served notice on the legislative and executive branches of the govern' ment that it intends to go into court and question the Constitutionality . of the land-grant law recently passed by congress. Incidentally, the railroad company asserst that the law, proposing to re vest title to grant lands in the govern ment, is unconstitutional. If the government under that law undertakes to pay back taxes to the Oregon counties the railroad serves notice that it must do so at its own risk and subject to future court decis ions. How the railroad company is going to proceed in the courts to test the constitutionality of the law is not known by the railroad attorneys here, They merely had instructions to serve the company's notice on the President, on congress. Secretaries Lane and Houston, the attorney general and Treasurer Burk. Olympia, Wash. J. F Gillies, twice convicted of embezzling $20,000 from state industrial insurance funds while employed as claim agent for the state, Sunday night pried off two flimsy locks with a bolt as a jimmy and escaped from the Thurston county jail. With him went Henry Roberts, awaiting transfer to the reformatory for a stat utory offense. Prosecuting Attorney Yantis ordered the arrest of Mrs. Gillies on a warrant charging her with aiding the escape of the prisoners. Mrs. Gillies was not locked up, but was taken to the home of a policeman and placed In the care of the officer's wife. It is believed the prisoners boarded a train bound for Portland. An automobile is known to have left town about midnight, and it is be lieved .to have taken the two men to ward Canada. At a late hour no trace had been reported of either. Shortly after dark Gillies and Rob erts locked an old man held on a minor charge in his cell and pried their way out. Sheriff McCorkle was at Centralia and James Fennell, County game war den, who occasionally slept at the jail, was out of town. By sawing oft the riveted end of the bolt by which their cell would have been locked, had that precaution been taken, Gillies and Roberts slipped out the bolt and then sawed the end of it off on the bias to make a chiBel point, by which they pried their way out. Gillies evidently let himself from the window to the ground 15 feet below with a blanket. Yellow Press Is Target, Washington, D. C, A bill Intro duced Monday by Representative Campbell, of Kansas, would make It unlawful for any person, company, corporation, press association or news paper publication to publish or trans mit any false report or rumor bear ing on the international relations of the United States and tending to in juriously affect peaceful relations with the government or people of any other country. It was referred to the judiciary committee. Curry to Offer Scouts. Bandon, Or. Preliminary arrange ments for the organization of a com pany of 100 scouts, whose services will be tendered to the government, are be ing made in Curry county, with Dis trict Attorney J. C. Johnson and F. B. Tichenor, of Port Orford, at the head of the movement. Both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Tichenor are veterans of the Spanish-American war, and the former has seen 18 years of service In the army. Unless the threatened trouble with Mexico clears away shortly, re cruiting offices will be opened. Alaska Sends In Bullion. Seattle, Wash. Seven hundred and "fifty thousand dollars in gold bullion, the largest shipment received from Alaska this year, was brought here Sunday by the steamer Humboldt, which arrived from Skagway. The gold, the first of the Spring cleanup in interior Alaska, was shipped from Fairbanks by the first steamer up the Yukon and . transported to Skagway over White Pass from White Horse, the head of river navigation, German U-Liner To Be Classed As Peaceful Merchant Ship Washington, D. C. Final decision by the State department that the Ger man submarine Deutachland is a merchant ship entitled to all privileges accorded under International law to a belligerent-owned freighter was fore cast Wednesday night on receipt of preliminary reports on an inspection of the underwater liner at Baltimore by naval officers and treasury officials. Collector Ryan, of Baltimore, tele graphed the Treasury department that a thorough examination of the boat by himself and Captain C. F. Hughes, ap pointed by the Navy deparmtent to as sist, he adhered to his previous opinion that the vessel is an unarmed merchant man, incapable of conversion for-war-like purposes, "without extensive structural changes." Impeachment Proceedings Tabled. Washington, D. C. Impeachment proceedings against H. Snowden Mar shall, United States attorney at New York, were tabled Wednesday by the house judiciary committee, which by a divided vote adpoted a resolution rec ommending to the house that no fur ther proceedings be taken against him. The action of the committee in such cases usually is suatianed by the house, and the vote, therefore is expected to close the whole proceeding, which or iginated with Representative Buchan an, of Illinois, who was indicted in connection with an investigation of Labor's Peace Council at New York at the instance of Mr. Marshall. NORTHWEST MARKET REPORTS; GENERAL CROP CONDITIONS Depositors Back Lorimer. Chicago Wm. Lorimer, ex-United States senator, Wednesday found him Belf with a full-fledged organization of more than 4000 depositors of the de funct La Salle-street Trust & Savings Bank, who had lost their money in the crash of that institution, pledged to aid him in his plans to reimburse them for "every dollar they had lost." At a mass meeting the depositors, some of them women, whose entire savings had gone In the bank failure, organized themselves into a club to aid In the re habilitation of his various enterprises. Documents To Go on Deutschland. New York The arrival at an Amer ican port of a German submarine and the possibility of establishing a carrier service between the United States and the blockaded Teutonic nations has aroused particular interest here among persons who have suffered from their inability to send to Germany and Austria-Hungary money and legal docu merits. It was said Wednesday that if the submarine returns she will carry an important consignment of bank drafts and legal papers of various kinds. Two Colonels Dropped. . Camp Whitman, Green Haven, N. Y. Colonel Louis D. Conlcy and Lieu tenant Colonel John D. Phelan, of the 69th New York regiment, were order ed mustered out of the Federal service Wednesday just as the regiment was entraining here for Texas. The order came from Major General Leonard Wood.

As Wheat Season Advances More Grain Bags Are Needed Portland There is more inquiry for grain bags now than at any time this season. Sales are not much larger but buyers are showing decidedly more interest in bags, and sellers believe an active market is not far off. It is the improvement in crop conditions in the Northwest that is causing the inquir ies to increase. The rains of the past fortnight have led all grain men to raise their estimate of the wheat crop and they are now figuring on a yield of 10,000,000 to 16,000,000 bushels larger than they expected early in June. This condition naturally has produced a firmer bag market. Local quotations are still around the 12-cent mark, but there is not the probability of a decline that dealers faced a short time ago. The entire coast crop is growing in size and there are no more bags in sight than there were. As a California authority expresses it, for every bag in sight two will be needed. In Cali fornia, as here, there has not been much buying by farmres in anticipa tion of crop needs, but this is a con dition that cannot last much longer. Much was heard earlier in the season of bulk handling of grain, but it is evident now that there will be but little relief for the situation on this score. Road Increases Capitol to a Million. Chehalis, Wash. The Cowlitz, Che- halis & Cascade railway company in supplemental articles of incorporation has increased its capital stock from $100,000 to $1,000,000. The name of the company has been changed to read as above, instead of the Lhehalis, Cowlitz & Cascade. The company has a large crew at work all along its 22 miles of projected line rushing its work and expects to have the road completed to four miles southeast of OnalaBka, near Salkum, by fall. The Chehalis Mill company has its plans all completed now to gush work on its new 75,000 sawmill in South Chehalis at once. - Sales Plan is Success. Kennewick, Wash. Encouraged by the success of the Kennewick-Richland Marketing union, which shipped and sold this year 96 per cent of the straw berries grown in this region at an av erage price to the grower of nearly $$ per crate of 24 pints, the growers at a public meeting here last Saturday per fected plans for a similar permanent organization to handle the raspberry crop, asparagus, gooseberries, cher ries, early potatoes, and, possibly, the peach, pear and apple crops. New by laws and constitution were approved. Horse Market Is Active. Klamath Falls, Ore. There is much activity in the local horse market again following the call of the United States for more animals for military purposes, and the recent placing of or ders for more horses and mules for the French government The E. Clemens Hone company, of Sacramento, operat ing many large ranches in California, has a call for a large number of horses for military purposes. Last week 200 head of horses purchased by this com pany in Lake county, Oregon, were shipped from this city. Some Grant Crops Damaged. Canyon City, Ore. Unsettled weath er conditions have prevailed through out Grant county for the past two weeks. Considerable rain has fallen and has caused damage to some crops and much inconvenience to sheepmen, who are in the midst of shearing oper ations. The first crop of alfalfa is ready, but owing to the weather con ditions, the farmers are delaying the cutting until good curing weather. OREGON TO FORESTALL POSSIBLE INFANTILE PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC Portland The entire state of Ore gon will be protected by strict pre ventative measures against the posai ble introduction of infantile paralysis infection, through orders issued Sun day by the State Board of Health, and forwarded by State Health Officer David N. Roberg to all local health officers, and county judges, throughout the state. - To further insure the observance of these precautions against the plague that is terrorizing New York, Gover nor Withycombe has been requested by the State Board of Health to issue a proclamation to the county judge's of Oregon, instructing them to establish the quarantine at every railroad sta tion within their jurisdiction. The plan is simple, though necessar ily involving a great deal of close ob servation and employment of a regi ment of medical inspectors and assistants. Incoming passengers, under 15 years of age, from all Eastern points, will be met at each station by authorized inspectors. Their temperatures will be taken. If the temperature be above normal, or if any other indication of the dread malady is observed, the child will be placed under strict quarantine. Epidemic is Subsiding. New York Nineteen more deaths from infantile paralysis in New York City for the 24 hours ended at 10 o'clock Sunday morning were reported by the department of health, making the total fatalities 224 since the epi demic started. There was a drop in the numbei of new cases, 88 being re ported Sunday against 95 Saturday. The total number of cases now has reached 980. The mortality rate is still about 23 per cent. Brooklyn con tinued to lead with new cases. Life of President of Argentine "Republic Sought by Anarchist Buenos Aires An attempt to assas sinate President de la Plaza was made Sunday by a self-Btyled anarchist. The President was standing on a balcony of a government building reviewing some troops when a man in the crowd of spectators suddenly drew a revolver and fired at him. The shot went wild and the would-be assassin was arrested. The great crowd of spectators surged forward in an effort to take the assassin from his guards and lynch him, but this was prevented by the soldiers. The man gave his name as Jean Mandrini. He said he was bom in Argentina and was 24 years old. United States Has 21,000,000 Men Eligible to Military Service Washington, D. C The census bu reau, while unable to answer specifical ly the question how many able-bodied citizens of military age there are in the United States, estimates that the total number of male citizens and and those who have declared their intention to become citizens, who are 18 to 45 years old inclusive, is not far from 21, 000,000. This estimate is based on the as sumption that there has been an in crease of aproximately 10 per cent in the population of the country since the census of 1910. When that census was taken the total number of male citizens and prospective citizens 18 years old and over but under 46 was 19,183,000. Of this number, 14,857,- 000 were foreign-born whites who had become naturalized or had declared their intention of doing bo, 2,052,000 were negroes and 50,000 were Indians. Socialists Insist Food Supply is Short. The Hague During a debate on the food situation at the Thursday evening session of the Berlin city council, the Socialists complained of the inequality and inadequacy of the distribution of food under the mass-feeding scheme. Councillor Mommsen declared that no resident of Berlin was yet starving. This elicited a sharp contradiction. Municipal Physician Weber main tained there was no question of under feeding yet, whereupon cries of strong dissent arose from the Socialists. The Socialist councillor, Hoffman, said that he himself had been a patient at the Rudolph Virchow hospital for months, and knew how seriously the dietary had been reduced. Explosion Follows Raid. Seattle A few minutes after the police had wrecked the stock and fix-' tures of the Puget Drug company at 1525 First avenue during a liquor raid Sunday night, fire caused by an explo sion, completed the destruction of the interior of the store. No one was in the store at the time of the explosion, but it is believed that acid leaking from bottle came into contact with the contents of barrel of alcohol which the police had broken open. One hundred bottles and several demijohns of whisky also were destroyed. Bandits Guests of Honor. Laredo, Tex. Herberto Pezziot, al leged bandit on trial here in connec tion with the raid on Webb, Tex., testified that he and other Mexicans involved in the raid previously were guests of honor at a banquet given to Neuvo Laredo by General Musquiz, leader of the Carranza forces, Pezziot, Cuevas and Solis were sentenced to five years' imprisonment. Fezxiot ad dressed a letter to Gen. Alvaro Obre gon, minister of war at Mexico City, asking that some Bteps be - taken to prevent Imposition of the sentence. British Statesmen Shifted. London Following the appointment last week of David Lloyd-George as secretary for war, official announce ment was made of several other chang es in the government Edwin Samuel Montagu, financial secretary to the treasury, takes Lloyd-George's place as minister of munitions, Thomas Mc Kinnon Wood, secretary of state for Scotland, becomes chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and financial sec retary to the treasury. 3 44 Mirt ThocA W KG r These douqhtmis are good" rv .O .1 O EC Baking Powder Purity First - It will never disappoint you try it if you like good things to eat.

Kitchener will be remembered for four great constructive works of or ganization, carried out in Egypt, South Africa, India and England. In each case his work was creative and revolu tionary in conception, and carried out with the utmost precision in every least detail. No man touched the world-extended British Empire at more points, or touched it with such decisive, fatefut effect. It may be said, indeed, that the integrity of the Empire, in the twentieth century, 1b the work of Kitchener. Four dangers arose, in regions separated by vast continental spaces; in each region, Kitchener met the danger, piercingly diagnosed the cause, patiently and courageously overcame it. Every hon or within the power of his countrymen to give him was offered to Kitchener; yet all honors fall short of his Im mense attainment Prom "Kitchener of Khartoum," by Charles Johnston, in the American .
