Necessary to Good Navy. STOMACH BITTERS New York.—In the arrest of Albert Fay, a lieutenaat in the German army, and Waller Schulz, his brother-in-law, police and federal secret service agents believe they have detained leaders in a plot to wreck American munition plants and ships carrying munitions. According to Captain Tunney, of the New York anarchists squad, Fay confessed that he came here to work out a plan for stopping the shipment of munitions. He said, Tenuey avers, that he was supplied with $2000 for carrying out his operations. Papers found iu his room showed he was a German secret service agent. A vast quantity of high explosives were found in the prisoners' room in Weehawken, N. J. Both men are held on technical charges of disorderly conduct. An ad ditional charge of attempted bribery may be made against Fay. He is said to have offered $1000 to a police offi cer for his release. He is said to have offered an advance payment of $00 when the officer agreed to his proposi tion. Police who have been watching out going vessels for explosives caused the arrests. Explosives and survey charts of New York harbor are said to have been found In their possession. The men are declared to have been testing a bomb in a small grove when apprehended. Five steel mines, said by the police to belong to the prisoners, later were found In a West Hoboken storehouse Each was packed in a separate wood case, and fitted with an attachment which might be fastened to the Btern of a ship by a wire. Contact with the propeller of a ship, it is said, would explode the mine. Two cases found in the men's room in Weehawken were filled with ex plosives, letters written in German and official looking documents. Among the explosives were small sticks of dynamite and various kinds of acid used in the manufacture of explosives. One of the papers, It Is asserted by the police, showed Fay to be a lieuten ant in the German army and connect ed with the German foreign office on the Wilhelmstrasse. The police assert that the prisoner had admitted the ownership of a high- powered automobile and a Bpesdy mo torboat, both of which are in Wee hawken. YOU AT S H O U L D TR Y ONCE.

Until the war broke out few Ameri cans had heard the word bosche or boebe, the French soldiers’ nickname for a German. It doesn’t appear In the Academy's dictionary or in such editions of Littré as most of us can get hold of. In Delvau's slang diction ary Its definition is "Mauvais sujet, dans largot des petites dames, qul le preferent au niuche” ; which last word Delvau defines as “jeune hoinine poll, doux, amiable, reserve." A letter from Thomas Ogilvy to the Spectator sup plies some additional information He says M. Theodore Joran is his author ity for saying that Littré does define bosche, and defines it as ulcer or pes tilential tumor. M. Joran thinks it related to the Latin bu> ca, which means first the cheek, regarded as a puffabie thing, ami then, according to Harper's Latin dictionary, "one who fills his cheeks in speaking, a declaim ed bawler." and also "one who stuffs out his cheeks in eating, a parasite." —The New Kepubllc.

London.—The bombardment of De- deagach caused the death of ten civil ians and more than a thousand sol diers, and a large number of soldiers were wounded, says a dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph company from Athens. A large proportion of the military casualties, the correspondent adds, were in the barracks which housed the Fortieth Bulgarian regiment. The barracks were crowded with soldiers, who were preparing for their meal, when the bombardment was opened at 1 o’clock with accurately aimed shells, which demolished the barracks, burying the occupants in the ruins. Troops engaged in digging trenches around the town also sustained heavy losses. Fires caused by the exploding shells destroyed the railway station and sur rounding buildings, doing enormous damage. It is said that the entire loss from the bombardment, which lasted four hours, will be several million pounds. The correspondent says the bom bardment was directed by aeroplanes, Mrn. Mary Logan Tucker of Wash ington, daughter of the late Gsn. John A. Logan, and a member of the nation al committee of the Navy league, urges that military training camps for women be conducted, to train them In first aid, signaling, telegraphy and th* uss of small arms. MEXICAN BANDITS WRECK TRAIN, BURN TRESTLE AND KILL TWO Brownsville, Tex.— Mexican bandits early Wednesday held up and robbed a St. Louis & San Francisco passen ger train, killing two persons and wounding three others, near Olinlte, seven miles north of here. The dead: H. H. Kendall, engineer. United States cavalryman, name un known. The injured: Dr. E. S. McCain, Cameron county physician, probably fatally shot. Harry Wallis, seriously wounded lu abdomen. Conductor P. E. Morgan, slightly wounded. Trestle is Burned. A long trestle half a mile south of the wreck was set afire half an hour after the train was held up and almost destroyed. This hindered the progress of the first detachment of troops which was sent in pursuit so that the bandits had ample time to flee into the brush. Passengers who reached here on a relief train said that the train was de railed, that Mexicans poured Into the coaches shouting “ Viva Pizana” and commenced to shoot at the passen gers. Pizana. the man the bandits were cheering, is supposed to be the leader of the so-called “ Texas revolution” nurtured under the "plan of San Die go.” which last year contemplated the seizure of border Btates and returning them to Mexican rule. A negro reached his home four miles from Brownsville and gave the first report of the wreck and killings. Four companies of United States In fantry were rushed to the scene by special trains, followed by two troops of cavalry. The bandits were passengers and set fire to the train. The Mexicans severed the telephone line between Brownsville and Villa Nueva, five miles from here, which resulted not only in delaying information reaching Brownsville, but also Interfered with communication with troop B, of the Thirtieth Cavalry, on duty near the scene of the holdup. Strange Tragedy Comes to Light. Canyonvllle, Or.—How an old trap per. with his leg caught In a big bear trap, perished alone and miserably in the forest 17 years ago, was revealed by the finding of a skeleton with a bone held in the rusted trap, on the Fortune Branch Creek, and reported here Wednesday. The skeleton Is believed to be that of a once well-known character named Blynn, who had a cabin at the head of the creek, about a mile from where the skeleton was found. The place la about half way between here and Glen dale. Patriotic Appeal ia Made. Los Angelee.—Going further than merely serving notice that an embargo has been declared. E. M. Blanford, a special agent of the federal govern ment, directed an appeal to arms and munitions dealer! In the west to help President Wilson atop further blood shed In Mexico. "The Mexicans can shoot away in a day all the ammuni tion Mexican manufacturers can make in a month," said Mr. Blanford, “ and with the assistance of American deal ers, further fighting in Mexico can be promptly stopped.” Churchman Bara Hatred. London.—“ The wall of a church is not an appropriate place to perpetuate hatred,” was the reason given by Sir Philip Wllbraham, chancellor of the diocese of Cheater, when refusing to permit a memorial tablet to a victim of the Lusitania In a Holyoke church to bear the Inscription, "who was mur dered on the Lusitania by the Ger mans. ” The chancellor then suggest ed that the inscription should read. “ Who lc.it his life when the Lusitania waa torpedoed by the Germans." This was agreed to. Hanging Called Decorous. Springfield, 111.— Mayor Davis, of Murphysboro, III., said Thursday that he would preside at an Indignation meeting as a proteat because Governor Dunne granted a 30-day reprieve to Elston Scott, who was to have hanged Friday. The governor reprieved Scott because of reports that a recent hang ing had been a spectacle. “ The gov ernor was misled. Everything at the hanging of Joe Deberry was conducted with the utmost decorum, " said the mayor. Serbian Women to Fight. Chicago.—John R. Palandech, Serb ian leader and editor, addressing a meeting of Serbians here, declared that an army of 250,000 Serbian wo men. equal In number to the entire regular Serbian army, would soon be on the firing line against the German and Austrian forces. "N o women In the world are more courageous than the Serbian women,” Mr I’alandcrh said, "and thev are not going to alt at home and see their fathers husbands and brothers driven out of Serbia.” Seven of Family Killed.

Iyondon—A telegram from Amster dam to the Exchange Telegraph com pany says "Messages from the Bel gian frontier say that Belgian sub jects between the ages of 17 and 3$. liable for military service, had been notified by the German authorities at Brussels to report themselves to the German commander, with the result that 75AO so far havs been deported to Germany."

C.—Secretary Daniels in a speech at the North Carolina State Fair said that the administration pro posed to equip its shipyards and ar seuals so they could compete with pri vate plants under the national defense program No monopoly was intended, he said, but this measure would be adopted as a check against excessive profits for private manufacturers. "The government has invested many millions of dollars in navy-yards," said the secretary, "and unless this invest ment is utilized for new construction, much of it is wasted. If the govern ment is prepared to construct naval craft, private shipbuilding companies in making contracts must compete M R S .

Mrs. Norman Gait It the wealthy widow who Is to become the wife of President Wilton. She le a South erner and haa lived In Washington nearly all her life. with government yards. This tends to secure competitive prices aud pre vent combinations among private cor porations to charge higher prices than conditions justify." Mr. Daniels said that the govern ment paid 80 cents a pound to a gov ernment manufacturer a few years ago to make powder, but the navy was now making it at a cost of about 25 cents a pound. Torpedoes and mines, he said, were also being manufactured by the government at a great saving of money. "It has been ascertained by a special commission that the Davy," he contin ued, “ with a modern plant, can manu facture armor plate for $230 to $260, as against the non-competitive prices of $425 to $486 a ton charged in the last contract. Experience iu Europe teaches that the navy should no longer rely on private manufacturers for projectiles. If congress approves, we will erect a large factory which will turn out a large product of 14-Inch armor pierc ing shells, as well as smaller projec tiles. This will Insure better shells and better competition.” The secretary particularly directed attention to the lack of ships In the American merchant marine to carry American products to those who need it and are willing to pay for It. "What the navy needs, and in case of trouble would need sorely," he add ed, "are auxiliaries properly built and equipped with trained Americans. A merchant marine with foreign crews is not an American need, either for commerce or for defense." Honorary Degrees Given. Washington, D. C.—Nearly 200 new thirty-third degree honorary members were elected by the supreme council of the Scottish Rite of the southern jurisdiction of the United Slates, In session In the newly dedicated Mason ic temple here. 1‘ractlcally all of the southern and western states, the Dis trict of Columbia, the army and navy, the Philippines and Porto Rico were represented 4n the list of those elected It Is expected that several active thir ty third degree members will be named later In the week. Yale Bara Club Drinking. New Haven. Conn.— Notices have been sent out by the Yale faculty to all clubs, secret societies and "frat" organizations to which Yale under- grad uatea belong. Informing them that after November 1 they will not be al lowed to serve liquor In their elub. society or "frat" house. The faculty order is expected to put an end to so cial drinking of undergraduate*. A new state law provides that all club* and similar organizations which wish to serve liquor must secure a special license. Portland.—Dollar wheat was again In evidence in the local market. Ten thousand bushels of November blue stem changed hands at the Merchants' Exchange at this price. Another sale of 10,000 bushels of bluestem for this month's delivery at 99>4 cents was posted. Country dealing at about the same basis or higher has been report ed for several days. One lot was bought in Eastern Oregon, a special transaction, at equal to $1.02. By consistently holding out for high er prices the farmers of the North west have succeeded In forcing the market up 8 to 10 cents a bushel since the first of the month, and this In the face of a steadily rising freight mar ket. The last steamer reported taken was at loos, but It Is stated that own ers are now asking, with the Canal closed. 120 to 12Ss. Exporters con tinue to buy, howevor, and they are compelled to pay the prices farmers demand. The blueBtem purchases at the Ex change were at advances of 1 to 1 Vi cents over Mouday's prices. Other bids for the near months were un changed. December offers, which were too low when first posted on Monday, were adjusted to bring them Into line with the other deliveries. Barley bids were raised 25 to 60 cents. Oats were irregular, from 25 centR lower to 25 cents higher. Patent flour was still available at the former price, but the market was firm. The export market waa reported inactive. Reviewing conditions In the Euro pean wheat markets, Broomhall says: “ Strength In wheat Is due entirely to American advance and heavy Con tinental takings, but the advance Is considered extraordinary in the fare of big American crops and strong freights. Importers are obliged to pay unexpected prices and It la feared that this advance will continue, or at least as long as Continental buyers follow the advance." Northwestern Hop* In Demand. Portland.—About 1000 bales of hop* were bought In the Northwest Wed nesday. All the details of the tran sactlons were not available, but It Is understood the price# were the same as those current for the past week or inure. Ix>uis Lachinund purchased 300 bales more of the MrLoughlln crop at Independence. The McKay lot of 180 bales at Ht. Paul waa alao sold. Two lota of Western Washingtons, those of George Richter and Fremont Annls. were disposed of. Yakima sales included the Stewart crop of 125 bales and the Slavin lot of 76 bales. hadn't Served It Before. Once a short little woman and her tall husband went to a cafe of the cheaper sort for dinner. "W ill you have oysters?" asked the husband, glancing over the bill of fare. “ Yea," said the little woman, as she tried In vain to touch her feet to the floor, "and, Henry, I want a hassock." Henry nodded, and as he handed his order to the waiter, Bald: "Yes, and bring the lady a hassock." "One hassock?” asked the waiter, with what Henry thought more than ordinary Interest, as he nodded In the affirmative. Still the waiter did not go but brushed the tablecloth with a towel and rearranged the articles on it several times, while his face got red Then he came around to the bus band's side, and, speaking in a whis per, said; "Say. mister, 1 haven't been here long, and I'm not on to all these things Will the lady have the has sock broiled or fried?"

Paper shirts, made in Japan, are now being served out to the Russian soldiers for use in the cold and wet weather, which Is rapidly approaching on the eastern front. A number of these paper shirts wore used by the Russians last winter, and they proved to be much warmer and cheaper thau ordinary shirts. The paper used Is called "hashlkl- razu" and Is made from the bark of a mulberry tree. It lias been used by the Japanese army and people for many years, its only drawback being that it can not be washed. Well Q i'a n f ie d .
