Believing tint the coming summer

from the East and Middle West toward
the 1'aciiic Coast than ever before, the
management of the Portland Rose Fes­
tival is conducting nn unstiul, and so
far successful, campaign to advertise
the coining event. Individual publica­
tions, as well as several newspaper syn­
dicates in tlie East have asked for arti­
cles and photographs descriptive of
Portland and its roses, western publi­
cations o f all classes are carrying simi­
lar stories, trade papers are falling into
line, and everything imlicutes that the
coming festival will receive an unnsual
amount of publicity.
“ The whole city o f Portland is being
organized back of the Festival commit­
tee in a vast publicity campaign” said
Lloyd McDowell who has charge o f this
work, and special efforts are being
made to carry the publicity into the
East as it was never carried before We
are working an unusually large field
with great energy, and I believe that
the Festival scrap beeks at the end of
the season will show a greater volume
of publicity for the 1915 event than for
all the festivals that have ever preced­
ed it. We aim to establish the truth of
our slogan, that ‘ ‘The Whole World

R e ce ssio n
From Plan Offered

Washington.— Count von Uernstorff,
the German ambassador, delivered a
note to the United States, in which
Germany offered to recede from h ir
plan of destroying enemy merchant
ships, if rstrlctions placed by the al­
lies ou shipments of conditional contra­
band and foodstuffs destined to the
civilian population of Germany were
removed.
Otherwise, the note announced.
Germany proposes to put into effect
the original proclamation, adding also
the strewing of mines in waters sur
rounding Great Britain and Ireland.
Alleged arming of British merchant
vessels is given by the German gov­
ernment as ground for attacking en­
emy merchant ships without search o •
previous visit.
It was said that the note receive I
by the ambassador from his forel i
office was not u reply to tho recent
American note to Germany in regard
to the war zone decree. A m >re coi i-
prehensive and detailed reply to t is
communication is expected soon.
The British reply to the American
note of protest on neutral shipping,
dated December 26, was also rcceivi I.
Besides entering a general denial t t
there had been any unwarranted i i-
terferenee with legitimate shipment .
the new note contains a statemen
from Great Britain that the recent
government decree taking over the
flour and grain supply in Germany re­
quired added precautions ou the part
of the allies.
