Secretary Lansing's policy heretofore has been to not protest in cases where Americans are not jeopardized. It is stated on high authority that it will not change the situation yet. It is ex plained however, that the administra tion will continue, to consider un warned submarine attacks illegal, ac cording to the government's interpre tation of the law.

The German bom bardment northwest of Verdun has slackened it is officially announced. Berlin. May 10. (Wireless via Say ville) The semi official war office statement today said that although it is generally considered that attacks on fortified positions must be made with forces four times superior to the de fenders the Germans assulting Verdun realty are less half numerous than the French army, which has eight hundred thousand there. This is half om the entire' force France has at its disposal for active fighting. The second Ger man attack on Verdun was based on the crushing effect of heavy artillery The French are unable to compete with Germany's artillery and ammuni tion. Enormous French losses are due partly to the effect of the artillery, and partly to the tenacity of the French who refuse to abandon their trenches. Major Moraht, reviewing the situation, said that German successes have been gained against armies numerically superior. He said the Austrians have held the Italians, with twice their strength,, helpless. Wimbourne Resigned. (By United Press) London. May. 10. Wimbourne, lord lieutenant of Ireland, resigned today.

WARNINS IS GIVEN TO PROSPECTIVE HOMESTEADERS Lands to Tps. 14, 3 and 4 Eas4 Are Ntft Apt to Be Patented For Agriculture. Announcement was recently made through the columns of the local press of the withdrawing from entry of 3500 acres of timber land in townships 14, and 4 east, in this county. These lands will be placed in the Santiam National Forest and in June will be thrown open to settlement, subject to the approval of the Forestry office in Portland. . It is understood that timber loca tors and sharks have been trying to get local people to go out and locate on these lands, offering to show them goojl claims and get them valuable locations for a consideration. ' All intending ' or contemplating locating on these lands, which are situated near Cascadia, are warned to be very careful, for the chances are 100 to 1 that nothing can ever come of it, and the attempt would be a waste of both time and money. The lands are a . part of the old Krib's locations. They were' taken up irregularly in the first place, and a few days ago the original claimants appeared at the County Clerk's office and made re-filings on their locations. It is a grave question whether or not the lands will ever be patented under the homestead act, for it J known that former Forest Super visor F. H. Brundage went over these claims and pronounced them unfit for agriculture and strictly timber propositions. If the lands are patented it is likely that the present claimants will be given the title on account of having filed under some old law. In some cases as many as four fil ings have been made on one claim. Warning is given to act with caution in this matter. , Mr. and Mrs. Charles Howell went to Portland this morning. . Ed Chrz returned to Hunkers this morning after, a business visit to this city. ' - '- . P ' . -: CORVALLIS FIREMEN GIVE GOOD SHOW AT GLOBE Interesting and Original Per formance Presented By Fire Boys to Attentive Crowd. The Corvallis firemen's show at the Globe last night was a creditable presentation. While it was purely local affair and original in every re spect, it was pulled off with lots of pep and was greatly enjoyed by those who saw it. The first part of the performance was particularly good, being in the nature of a concert with a number of good solos and stunts. The first num ber, a saxaphone solo, by Carl Glosst was greatly enjoyed, as was the vocal solo, an Irish lullaby, sung by Mrs. Mark Rickard. Another instrumental number that made. a hit was a duet, trombone and cornet by Mrs. Wood cock and Moses. Mrs. Mason Smith j gave a splendid violin rendition of Jocelyn's "Beresceuse. The last act was original and catchy, including a number of funny. stunts showing scenes in a fire department headquar ters. In all it was an enjoyable affair. The Corvallis firemen's band played before the concert on the street and made a hit. The candidates for Rose queen, Miss Georgia White, of Cor vallis and Miss Marion Anderson, of Albany, were brought on the stage and introduced to the audience. Half of the proceeds were given to Miss Anderson. The best of spirit prevailed between the. Corvallis and Albany people. Many people motored over from Corvallis to attend the per formance.

P. k Preparing to Extend Road From Hoover. TWO AND A HALF TONS OF PROVISIONS THERE Great Activity Mso in the Con- strtfction of the Salem Bend Road. W. A. Hoover, of Detroit, was in the city yesterday, spending the day here. He reported ' two inches of snow at Detroit the night before, and th't foothills in several placet show snow, which accounts for the cool breeze from the Cascades. Mr. Hoover reports indications of railroad activity beyond Hoover. Just what it is going to be is now specu lation, but it looks very much as if business is meant. Eight or ten sur veyors have been at work for some time. As is well known there is an old grade reaching east for several miles. Recently two and a half tons of provisions were taken into Hoov er, too much for storage there, and part was brought back to Detroit. This would be several times more than would be needed for surveyors, and it evidently means more than that. The opinion at Detroit is that the road is about to be extended across the moun tains. " ',"' : , This side, around Stayton, there is also great activity on the proposed road from Salem across the moun tains to Bend, passing the summit about five miles south of the South- -era Pacific survey. One of the head men with the gang at Stayton, recent ly said that by June there will be 500 men at work on the grade. Every . week those at work now receive their pay in cash.. There is a strong senti ment that the Hill interests are back of this road, seeking a connection with their trunk line down the Des chutes. It is thought this has much to do with the S. P. activity. The building of these two roads, or even one across the mountains will mean much for the Willamette valley- ;v..y;.' ' v, STATE GRANGE.
