THIRTY NEW SUBMARINES READY
All Ships to Be Hailed, and Sunk if
Contraband is Found on Board —
To Sink All Armed Vessels.
New York—Germany will declare a
deep sea barrier around the British
Isles, beginning February 1. This
news is brought to New York by four
passengers arriving from British and
Baltic ports on the Philadelphia, of
the American, and the Baltic, of the
White Star line, Monday, gave the
same versions of the new plans of the
German admiralty.
The deep sea barrier will be pa
trolled by 30 submarines of the latest
type, all of which have been launched
in the past two months and are cap
able of a 6000-mile cruising radius, ac
cording to three Americans, travelers
from Germany.
A note will be sent by the central
powers to all neutral nations, warning
them of Germnay’s decision, similar to
the note sent on February 18, 1915,
which received Mr. Wilson’s famous
reply in return demanding strict ac
countability, from Germany for any
American life placed in jeopardy.
This newest “danger zone’’ is the
North Channel, which separates Ire
land and Scotland; St. George’s chan
nel, between England and Ireland,
and the entrance to the English chan
nel.
All allied vessels, whether carrying
contraband or not, will be stopped,
their crews ordered to take to the
ship’s boats and the vessel immediate
ly sunk.
The submarines which will patrol
this newest zone have a speed of 18
knots on the surface and 12 knots sub
merged, it was said by the Americans,
who asserted that they had the highest
German authority on this statement.
Each submarine, will operate in a 10-
mile radius, and will be held responsi
ble for any allied merchant vessel
which slips past into an allied port.
Each submarine is to be equipped
with six torpedo tubes, two rapid-fire
guns mounted fore and aft, bomb-lay
ing chambers and a large supply of
bombs, mines and grenades. They will
carry sufficient provisions to last five
weeks without revictualing.
In the case of neutral vessels’ pass
ing through the war zone their cargoes
will be examined as previously and, if
they are carrying contraband, they,
too, will be sunk, their crews first
having taken to the lifeboats.
It is understood that Germany is
preparing a new list of contraband ar
ticles, which will be in effect as soon
as the now note is sent to neutrals. It
is believed that large quantities of
foodstuffs, as well as other necessities
of life, will appear on this new con
traband list.
Allied merchantmen similar to the
British steamer Aberleau, which sailed
Friday for Southampton via Halifax,
with a steel gun turret, to have a six-
inch gun mounted for offensive, as
well as defensive, warfare, will be
considered as an armed cruiser and
will be sunk on sight, it is said.
Twenty-Fve Thousand Guards
men on Border Ordered Home
Washington, D. C.—More then 25,-
000 National guardsmen, now on the
Mexican border, have been designated
by Major General Funston for return
home and muster out of the Federal
service. All these organizations will
be started homeward as soon as trans
portation facilities can be provided.
Their departure will leave between
45,000 and 50,000 men of the guard
still in the Federal service doing bor
der patrol.
War department officials continue to
withhold comment on reports that the
movement of General Pershing’s regu
lars out of Mexico soon will be under
way and the statement announcing the
guardsmen designated for relief does
not connect these orders with the
withdrawal plans in any way.
Palestine Doctors Dying.
New York—Cholera and typhus have
claimed so many victims among the
physicians who have been fighting
these epidemics in Palestine that some
of the villages have lost their last
medical men and in the cities few phy
sicians remain to cope with the situa,
tion, according to a statement made
public here by Hadassah, the women’s
Zionist organization in America. The
conditions in Palestine were described
in an appeal for $75,000 and a medical
unit to be dispatched to the afflicted
country without delay.
Kiss Rewards Governor.
Cheyenne, Wyo.—A resounding kiss
implanted on the executive lips in full

the reward Mrs. John B. Kendrick
gave Governor Kendrick Saturday for
signing the bill submitting prohibition
to the people of Wyoming.
The bill provides for a vote to
be taken in 1918 on the adoption of
prohibition amendments to the state
constitution.
Ss lem—If there is any objection to
the emergency clause or any other im
portant part of the pending “bone-
dry” prohibition law it did not make
its appearance at the opening.meeting
of the house and senate committees on
alcoholic traffic here Tuesday night.
Almost every legitimate interest
affected by the measure was represent
ed at the hearing which was conducted
before a large crowd in the house
chamber and a number of valuable
suggestions were made.
One suggestion, advanced by A. A.
Hall, a chemist, will be given serious
consideration by the committee. He
pointed out that in its present form
the bill will not permit the manufac
ture of denatured alcohol, which may
be made a valuable by-product of many
Oregon industries such as the paper
mills, the sawmills, beet sugar fac
tories, canneries and others. He ex
plained that the denaturization of al
cohol is done under government super
vision and that its practice would not
be in violation of the spirit of the
‘bone-dry” law. Denatured alcohol is
1 dangerous poison and therefore could
lot be used for beverage purposes.
Passes to Equal Government Aid
Salem—Most of the important busi
ness of the house the latter part of the
week was transacted in committees.
The judiciary committee conducted
an open hearing on a number of bills
intended to improve the operation of
the initiative and referendum; the
consolidation commttee conferred with
Governor Withycombe to gain his
views on the work expected of them;
the committee on alcoholic traffic held
an informal meeting to consider the
“bone-dry” prohibition bill, and many
other committees held both day and
night sessions to consider questions of
varying degrees of importance.
The house passed Representative
Bean’s bill authorizing the State board
of control to issue bonds, if necessary,
to match the Federal appropriation of
$1,800,000 for road improvement work
in Oregon. The expenditure is to be
spread over a period of five years, and
the state need bond itself only enough
to complete the $1,800,000 fund if
that amount is not available from
other sources.

for Two Big Wooden Ships
Portland—Gaston, Williams & Wi r-
more Steamship corporation, of New
York, one of the best known Eastern
maritime firms, has contracted with
Joseph Supple for the construction of ,
two wooden vessels that will be built
on the East Side, on property under
lease to Mr. Supple from the Spokane.
Portland & Seattle railroad, north of
the Hawthorne bridge approach and
handy to his present plant at the foot
of Belmont street.
News of closing of contracts was
received Wednesday, though it has
been known for weeks that negotia
tions were under way, and Mr. Supple,
with Fred A. Ballin, associated with
him as designer of the ships, left for
New York two weeks ago. Mr. Ballin
is the designer of a special type of a
composite vessel, wood and steel being
used, while Mr. Supple has had a
strong leaning toward a wooden ves
sel with a double planked hull, the
first planking next to the frames being
laid diagonally to afford strength.
Both have been submitted to prospec
tive purchasers, but the builders had
declined to close except at figures that
would insure the new yard a profit.
In this case it is believed by their
friends that the move means the plant
will be extensive, as well as perma
nent, for considerable business is
looked for.
Olympia is to Build Ships.
Olympia, Wash.—Phillip D. Sloan,
president of the Sloan Shipyards com
pany, of Seattle, has announced the
completion of negotiations by which
work is to begin at once on the con
struction of a shipyard in Olympia that
will cover 12 acres. The site is fur
nished by Olympia business men on a
lease for $3000 a year.
President
Sloan said that the new yards will em
ploy 600 men at maximum capacity
and add $350,000 annually to the local
payroll. He also said the company
has contracts for four motor ships.
Steel Yard Humming Now.
Portland — Since the dove of peace
has spread wings over the plant of the
Northwest Steel company, following
the strike early this month, reorgan

and it is estimated that all but about
100 men who went out are again on
the payroll.
Those remaining idle are mostly
helpers and places are to be made for
some when the force is increased or
others resign.

ORATOR'S DECLINE AND FALL
“Spellbinder” Now Simply Makes the
Voters Tired, and They Will
Not Have Him.
The campaign curtain has been rung
down, says the Kansas City Star, on
no sadder fact—from some points of
view, nt least—than that the stump
orator has not lived up to his old-time
tradition. Or if he has lived up to it
the public has declined to live up to
it with him. Not to evade the fact, or
to attempt to soften it, the intelligent
electorate, the free American voter, or
whatever else the citizenry Is called in I
presidential years, has yawned openly

GUARDS SUPPLY OF
FOOD AND DRUGS
Uncle Sam Protects People From
Impositions on Part of
Manufacturers.
MANY SAMPLES ARE TESTED
Thousands of Shipments Offered for
Import Found to Violate Law
and Are Excluded From
Country.
If any person in the United States
is sold adulterated food or drugs it is
not because Uncle Sam does not do his
utmost to prevent it. Government offi
cials in charge of the enforcement of
the federal food and drugs act never
relax their vigilance, and their efforts
in thousands of cases have prevented
impositions upon the people at the
hands of manufacturers.
During the last year United States
department of agriculture officials an
alyzed 20,833 samples of foods and
drugs offered for interstate shipment
and for import. A physical examina
tion was made of samples from 76,468
shipments offered for import. Of these
foreign shipments, 6,353 were found to
violate the law in some respects and
were either excluded from the country
or admitted only after the importers
had relabeled them to comply with the
law. Of the stunpies of domestic prod
ucts analyzed, 3,535, either because of
the nature of the product or because
the label on it did not tell the truth,
were found to be in violation of the
federal law. In 1,364 cases the depart
ment recommended to the department
of justice that criminal prosecution be
instituted against the manufacturers
or that the goods be seized. In many
cases, where there was no evidence of
intention to defraud and where there
was merely some easily relnedled flaw
in the wording of a label, the shippers,
after being warned in hearings, volun
tarily took steps which made their
products fully comply with the require
ments. In all, there were held 8,715
such hearings, many of which resulted
in the prosecutions indicated and the
gathering of evidence for a large num
ber of additional cases.
The bureau of chemistry, in its an
nual report, also calls attention to the
