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.

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

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.

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

Duchy of Lancaster and financial sec
retary to the treasury.

Kitchener's Work for the Empire.
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

Mr. Stretcher Yes, it's cold, but
nothing like what it was at Christmas
