(I)y United Press)
London, May 10. American Consul
Frost, of Qucenttown, wired , the
American embassy a confirmation of
the report that the Cymric was not
warned before attacked. He con
firmed the statement that no Ameri
cans were aboard, and that the Cym
ric was unarmed. Dispatches agree
that the liner did not attempt to
escape. It is aulhoritively slated that
the boat wat not in the admirality
service. It carried a millions dollars'
worth of munitions. As an ordinary
merchantman it vat entitled to the
immunities Germany pledged Amer
ica.
Washington. May 10. It is strong
ly indicated that no action will be tak
en by America in the Cymric case.
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. Such attacks will
be considered cumulative evidence of
the German attitude toward subma
rine activity.
Germany Sunk the Sussex.

Washington, May 10. Ambassador
Gerard informed Secretary Lansing
that the admission of guilt ' in the
Sussex case is enroute to Washing

not say whether the note contained
anything except acceptance of respon

a full disavowal and ample reparation
and that satisfactory punishment of
the submarine commander will he
made.

"FORTUNE HUNTER" TO BE
REPEATED NEXT WEEK
RehersdsCalledFor Three Per
formances to Be 6iven Here,
Corvallis and Lebanon.
"The Fortune Hunter" scored a
front page story in the Lebanon Ex
press yesterday in announcing the
presentation of Albany's splendid loc
al talent play in the Strawberry City
next Monday night. The play will be
given at the Ku'hn theatre.
Arrangements are also about com
pleted for the play to be given in
Corvallit Tuesday at the Globe and
here again next Wednesday. It is
thought that if presented at popular
prices a full house could be secured.
This can be done, for the big expense
of the production has already been
borne and the next performance could
be put on at a low price and net a
good sum. Definite rrrangements will
be made today when word is received
from Mr. Mott, who is directing a
play at Eugene.
"The Fortune Hunter" cast is call
ed for a rehearsal Thursday evening
at the Commercial club. A full at
tendance is asked. The hour is 7:00

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.

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

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. German Losses.
London, May 10. More than 700,
000 ' '-rirans have been killed and 1,
750.C , ; wounded, the press bureau
announced, the estimates being based
on Germany's official list. ' The total
number of German prisoners and
missing is 334,000. The figures , do
not include naval and colonial losses.

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-

North Yakima, Wash., May 9. In
