Carranzs Representative Thinks Crisis
Is Not Yet Over -Anxiety Felt
for Many Small Garrisons.
El Paso, Tex. Villa is moving
northward from Chihuahua City,' ac
cording to a dispatch from General
Trevino, received Tuesday by General
Gonzales, at Juarez, who was ordered
to concentrate his forces at Juarez.
' A private message coming over the
same route adds that not only is Villa
proceeding north, but he is in control
of Chihuahua City, which General Tre
vino is said to have abandoned, pro
ceeding southward. General Trevino,
according to the private report, said
that, after effecting a junction with
General Murguia, he would return and
recapture Chihuahua.
The message from General Trevino
was sent in code from Sauz by way of
Ojinaga, opposite the Texas town of
Presidio, where it was relayed. It
said, according to Carranza officials,
that Villa was moving north, and or
dered the detached garrison along this
section of the frontier and on the Mexican-Northwestern
line to concentrate
in Juarez. -
The message, they added, spoke of
this as the fifth day of Villa's attacks.
The countenances of the civil and
military men in Juarez showed clearly
the seriousness of the news.
"No, I think not," was the answer
given by a Carranza representative of
high rank, when asked whether the
Villa crisis was yet over.
It is understood that there are about
600 men, mostly infantry, in or near
Juarez.
Telegraphic communication was still
open with Sauz, about 26 miles above
Chihuahua the military men said.
They professed consdierable anxiety
about the Carranza garrison there.
General Murguia with his large
forces had been expected daily, to come
to the rescue of the besieged city.
Safe Conduct for Austrian Ambas
sador tq U. S. Refused by British
Washintgon, D. C Another contro
versy between the American govern
ment and the entente allies is in pros
pect as a result of the refusal of the
British government to grant safe con
duct to Count Tarnowski, the newly
appointed Austro-Hungarian ambassa
dor to the United States.
In the absence of officials advices on
the subject officials of the State de
partment were not in a position Tues
day to discuss it formally or to fore
cast the course the government is like
ly to pursue. It was made evident,
however, that unfavorable action of
the British foreign office on the notice
of the intention of the new ambassador
to cross the Atlantic to his post came
as an unpleasant surprise.
It had not been doubted here that
Great Britain would be the last power
to deny the privileged character of a
diplomatic officer on such a voyage.
Aside from the belief that England
would not deBire to arouse adverse
feeling In the United States by inter
ference with the ancient and generally
unquestioned right of a neutral gov
ernment to receive an ambassador or
minister, officials had counted on Great
Britain s record in the Mason and Sh-
dell case to prevent such an action as
reported in Tuesday's cable dispatches.

Washington Indignant Over Break of
Previous Agreement.
Washington, D. C Word that the
Turkish government has rescinded its
previous agreement to allow several
hundred Americans to leave the Turk
ish empire via Jaffa reached the State
department Wednesday from Ambas.
sador Elkus at Constantinople. The
ambassador was informed that the
Americans cannot be permitted to de
part, because of military necessity.
It is not known what action may be
taken in an effort to bring Turkey to
terms. The practical internment of
the Americans is a source of indigna
tion to the government It is said to
be an unprecedented situation which
will require most delicate handling.
The exact number of persons affect
ed cannot be learned.
The American cruiser Des Moines,
now at Alexandria, is due at Jaffa
shortly, where, after unloading Red
Cross supplies, she bad been expected
to take on the refugees. It is under
stood, now, however, that officers from
the vessel will not even be allowed to
land to investigate conditions.
German Submarine Sinks
American Steamer Chemung
Paris (Censored) A Madrid dispatch
Tuesday, announces the arrival at
of the crew of the American
steamer Chemung, torpedoed in
by a German submarine. The com
mander gave the crew only a few min
utes to abandon the vessel, not allow
ing them even to take their money and
papers.
The submarine towed the lifeboats
in which the crew were placed to with
in five miles of the coast, where it
abandoned them.
The Chemung went down with the
Stars and Stripes floating at her mast.
A lively incident preceded the sinking
of the vessel. The German command
er gave orders that the American flag
Bhould be lowered, and German sailors
prepared to put them into effect. They
met with stubborn resistance on the
part of the American Captain Duffy
and his crew, who refused to haul
down the colors, saying that if the
ship had to be sunk it would be with
the flag flying.
Captain Duffy maintained his
ground, and so rapid were the prepara
tions to sink the Chemung made that
further discussion about the flag
ceased, and after the. captain and crew
had been taken aboard the submarine a
torpedo and three shells Bent against
the side of the American ship sent her
to the bottom.
Although angry at the action of the
German commander, Captain Duffy
and his men had some measure of sat
isfaction in seeing the flag at the
masthead as the waves finally engulfed
their ship.
New York Women Start Boycott
on Eggs Appeal to Wilson
New York New York City's fight
to reduce the high cost of living began
in earnest Wednesday, with a boycott
on eggs by thousands of housewives.
This was followed by a direct appeal
by the National Housewives League to
President Wilson for the regulation of
the country's food supply, and meet
ings of Federal, state and city officials
and investigating committees, aa well
as various civic organizations, at
which resolutions were passed looking
to a speedy readjustment of conditions.
Virtually every branch of the muni
cipal government was at work in an
endeavor to fin'1 s solution to the food
problem. A statement issued by Is
rael Feinberg, president of the board
of coroners, declared that ' 'the present
high cost of living is directly reflected
In an increase in the number of sui
cides, deaths from lack of proper nour
ishment and birth control."
Fate of Carranza Garrison in Doubt.
Juarez, Mex. Another day of sus
pense passed Wednesday without defi
nite announcement as to the fate of
the Carranza garrison in Chihuahua
City. It has now been six days since
the first skirmishing started, which
opened the Biege of the state capital,
and three days since the telegraph line
was cut.
Since early morning, persistent re
ports have been in circulation here and
in El Paso to the effect that General
Trevino has been forced to abandon
the state capital because his ammu
nition supply was exhausted.
Belgian Poet is Killed.
Paris Emile Verhaoren, the Bel

nesday at Rouen while endeavoring to
board a train. The French government
has been requested by Senator Mar

Verhaeren. He suggested that his
body be placed in the Pantheon, there
to be held until Belgium is free. Emile
Verhaeren was born in May, 1866, at
St. Amand, near Antwerp. He was
educated at the University of Louvain
and after graduation was admitted to
the bar, but latter gave up law.

Tacoma, Wash. Tacoma ministers

today must be based on the thought of
the best thinkers of the present.
Fellow pastors took sdverse view of
the subject, and declared that preach

South America Now Buying
Wheat in Pacific Northwest
Portland Australian grain dealers
are establishing themselves in the
West Coast trade, a zone reached from
the Northwest in times when tonnage
was plentiful, and two charters were
made last week for the business from
the Antipodes to South America, the
American ship Star of Poland being
fixed at 70 shillings and the barkentine
Hawaii at 76 shillings to load wheat
at Adelaide for Callao.
Exporters here do not look for a ma
terial movement of Australian cereal
to the West Coast, and reason that
with the difference in the market
Northwest firms easily could compete
with the Australians. But the ton
nage feature is a drawback, besides
the big movement from this district at
present is by railroad to the Atlantic
and thence by water to Europe.
Naval Base Work is Speeded.
Portland To Insure the least possi
ble delay in getting at facts relative
to advantages in the Columbia river
for a naval base, the Chamber of Com
merce is engaged In assembling all
data under a system that will facilitate
consideration by Rear Admiral Helm
and his brother officers on the commis
sion, while a complete chart of the
Willamette and Columbia rivers, from
Portland to the sea, is being prepared
by G. B. Hegardt chief engineer of
the Commission of Public Docks. The
officers are due about December 16. .
In addition the chamber of com
merce has decided to request the Com
mission of Public Docks to relieve Mr.
Hegardt from duty during the period
the navy officers are in this district,
even for a week if necessary, so that
he may accompany them on their trips
of inspection.
Mills Ship and Run Again.
Baker, Or. A slight lifting in the
shortage of cars on the O.-W. R. & N,
permitted Baker lumber companies to
clear out their shipping sheds, and all
mills were running this week. Al
though the supply was not normal, it
was such an improvement that mill
owners were jubilant.
The Baker White Pine plant, which
shut down one day because of the
shortage, was able to resume with the
full crew of men, and the three other
mills, which had planned to stop unless
there was relief, were able to continue.
The railroad was unable to promise a
normal supply or a continuation of the
present service.
Fresh Eggs 60 to 66 Cents.
Spokane Eggs generally soar more
or leBs in price after a long spell of
cold weather, but, the dealers say, the
present high prices are almost, if not
quite, unprecedented so early in the
season. Eggs, guaranteed to be new
laid, at 60 and 66 cents a dozen, Thurs
day's price, are somewhat of a luxury,
and cold storage ones, st 60 cents a
dozen, though useful for some pur
poses, are far from cheap. So far
Chinese eggs are not on sale. Butter
has put on its winter price of 60 cents
a pound retail for the best brands.
, . Embargo on Cars to U. S.
Vancouver, B. C. The controversy

hostilities when D. C. Coleman, of the

all along the line that under no cir
cumstances Bhould Canadian Pacific
freight cars be permitted to cross the
border into the United States. British
Columbia shingle manufacturers are
adversely affected by the order. Cana

8eed Corn la Important
Washington, D. C The need of
sources from which suitable seed corn
can be obtained in the semi-arid and
Rocky Mountain regions Is great and
is increasing. Being a sparsely-settled
country, subject to extreme sea
sonal variations, seed of adapted va
rieties is much scarcer each year than
in sections where the corn crop is
more certain.
Nothing else would so cheaply turn
many corn failures Into successes as
the establishment of good sources of
seed corn. , While a knowledee of
corn breeding would be helpful, any
farmer can do much toward supplying
himself . and his neighborhood with
better seed corn by starting with a
well-tested variety and selecting the
best ears from the best stalks each
year. By so doing, natural selection
assists in weeding out the unfit
Where corn is grown for grain there
is no better locality from which to
obtain seed than that In which it is
to be planted. Where grown for the
silo or for large stalk growth, seed
may be obtained to advantage from a
more southern locality or a lower al
titude. Farmers' bulletin 416 of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
which may be obtained free upon ap
plication, treats of the selection and
care of seed corn.
A point of, greatest Importance is
that of holding over from good crops
sufficient seed corn for two or three
years' plantings. . This is essential In
the origination and perpetuation of
high-yielding varieties adapted to lo
cal conditions. Seed corn that ma
tures well and dries out promptly
without injury will keep Its good ger
minating and yielding power for four
or five years. Seed corn of the best
quality can be always available by
protecting a sufficient quantity from
moisture and insects and other animals.

Grazing Rates on National
Forests to Advsnce In 1917
District Forester George H. Cecil,
Portland, Oregon, announces that af
ter careful consideration the Secre
tary of Agriculture has approved an
increase in the fees to be charged for
grazing livestock on the National For
est ranges.
This increase will be made gradu
ally tor the next three years, until
the charges reach a point equivalent
to two-thirds of the charges made by
private owners for grazing stock on
tnetr lana.
Stock associations are being ad
vised of this decision in order that
statements regarding the views of
their members may be submitted to
the Forester by February 1, 1917, in
case they desire to discuss the matter.
- Investigation ot rental values from
time to time, says Mr. Cecil, has re
vealed that the Government charges
for grazing on the National Forests
are only one-third of the market value
of the forage. Since timber and other
resources of the National Forests are
sold at their market value, there is
an Increasing demand that forage re
sources should be disposed ot in like
manner.
The National Forest were created
for the primary purpose ot conserv
ing the timber and water supply. The
grazing use of the ranges, which was
found to exist when active control of
the forests was begun, was treated as
a secondary matter and only a por
tion of the administrative cost of
handling the forests was asked as a
grazing fee.
Since the National Forest states

A Neat Turn.
An eminent lawyer was once cross
examining a very clever woman,
mother ot the plaintiff in a breach of
promise suit and was completely
worsted In the encounter ot wits. Be
fore sitting down, however, he turned
to the Jury and said:
"You see, gentlemen, that even I
was but a child in this woman's
hands. What must my client have
been?"
By this adroit stroke of advocacv
he turned his discomfiture into a vic
tory. Boston Transcript .
