Washington, D. C.— Congress settled
down Saturday to await developments
in the submarine controversy between
the United States and Germany with
an overwhelm ing m ajority o f both
houses apparently definietly
deter
mined to take no action which might
embarrass the administration in the
present stage o f diplomatic negotia
tions a fe w o f the more ardent advo
cates o f legislation to keep Amreicans
off armed ships continued their activ
ities, and ex-Secretary Bryan’ s sup
port fo r them was shown in the form
o f a telegram, but even most o f them
admitted there was no propect o f im
mediate action.
So fa r as the adminsitration is
concerned, it was said authoritatively
that while any agitation o f the issue
just now was undesirable, there was
no disposition to oppose a vote on the
pending armed-ship resolutions i f their
sponsors tried to force one.
I t was declared that reports from
the capitol during the day showed con
clusively that the senate and the house
would stand behind President Wilson
in his refusal to permit any abridge
ment o f the rights o f American citi
zens on the seas, as outlined in his let
ter to Senator Stone.
The President reiterated his state
ments in that letter to Speaker Clark,
M ajority Leader K itchin and Repre
sentative Flood, chairman o f the house
foreign affairs committee, early in the
day when they called at the W hite
House to tell o f the situation on their
side o f the capitol and hear the execu
tiv e ’s views.
There was plain speaking both by
President Wilson and his callers. Mr.
Wilson said plainly that his efforts to
keep the country at peace were likely
to be hindered by impressions sent
abroad by congress, and the congress
men were equally frank in g ivin g
notice that a strong sentiment existed
at the capitol against risking the pos
sib ility o f war by perm itting Am eri
cans to travel on armed belligerent
ships, whatever m ight be their rights
under international law.
Although wholly different reports
came from other sources during the
day, Speaker Clark declared he be
lieved a resolution to warn citizens off
armed vessels would carry in the house
by two to one i f it reached a vote.
The house delegation went back to
the capitol with word that the Presi
dent stood unalterably by his position.
There the situation rests, and while
there probably w ill be many more con
ferences and possibly some speeches,
the generally accepted opinion is that
no further serious effort to bring about
action w ill be made, unless develop
ments occur to make a rupture o f re
lations w ith Germany imminent.
Pekin Admits Rebels Defeated
Government Troops at Sze-Chuen
Pekin— Official acknowledgement o f
the defeat o f government troops by
the Yunnan rebels on the Sze-Chuen
border was withheld until Saturday,
when the State department issued a
mandate denouncing Tai Ao, in which
admisssion is made that the revolu
tionists surprised the regular army and
defeated a small garrison.
Information received in Pekin from
non-Chinese sources shows that the
Yunnanese, who descended on the city
o f Suifu and captured it, numbered
about 10,000.
The government gar
rison at Suifu numbered about 4000,
but these troops le ft for the north sev
eral days before the arrival o f the
Yunnanese and consequently there was
no resistance to the entrance o f the
latter. The fleeing government forces
are reported to have started north for

Washington, D. C.— The object of
the building policy formulated in 1913
by the Navy General Board, it was dis-
closed Wednesday before the house na
val committee, was to keep the United
States ahead o f Germany in the race
for naval supremacy.
The statement
was made by Rear Adm iral Charles J.
Badger, a member o f the general
board, who explained that the policy
had contemplated a fleet o f 48 first-line
battleships by 1919 to accomplish its
purpose.
The statement did not go into the
record o f the hearing and Admiral
Badger did not am plify it to show why
the board had thought such a course
necessary.
The admiral was replying to a sug
gestion that the object o f the old pol
icy, abandoned this year by the board
for the first time, was to keep the
Am eriran'navy in second place. W hile

that was the effect it had, he said, the
real object was to keep ahead o f Ger
many.
This year the board fixed as its pol
icy the creation by 1925 o f a fleet
equal to the moBt powerful afloat at
that time, he said.
The committee
did not go into the board’s reasons for
changing its ideas beyond drawing out
the explanation that the board believed
a fleet 10 per cent superior to any
fighting force that might be brought
against it would be necessary to in
sure against the invasion o f American
soil by an enemy.
Under questioning by Representative
K elly, Admiral Badger said the con
struction o f three additional dread-
naughts and eigh t battle cruisers
would place the navy on a par with the
capital ships o f the German fleet to
day.
Germany now has 22 dread-
naughts and eigh t battle cruisers, he
said, according to the liest available
information, while the United States
has all told 19 ships o f the dreadnaught
class, built or building.
To equal Great B ritain’ s fleet within
two years. Admiral Badger said, the
United States would be obliged to have
a total force o f 40 dreadnaughts, 15
battle cruisers, 26 s w ift scouting craft,
200 submarines and 250 destroyers.
He was not favoring such a program,
but m erely answering questions by
Representative Butler. Such a fleet
could not be built in two years, he
added, though it m ight lie constructed
in four.

The Ford peace trip, besides adding
somewhat to the gaiety of nations, o f
fered to the pictorial satirists In many
quarters of the world an opportunity
of a lifetim e.
T w o rather distant
echoes o f the junket appear In the
March number of Cartoons Magazine.
One is from the Christiana. Norway,
Vikingen, and represents the Detroit
idealist as a rat leaving a doomed
ship. A touch o f humor is added to
the cartoon by reason of a bathing
suit hung on a clothes line In the bow
of the boat. The bathing suit is sup
posed to be the property of Mine.
Schimmer.
The other cartoon is from the Auck
land, New Zealand, W eekly News, and
shows "Ford's ark" plowing across the
seas. I'lacards reading "Buy our
cars" and “ Votes for women” are con
spicuously displayed upon the sides
and roof o f the craft while Ford is seen
trying to launch the dove o f peace,
and asking it: “ W hy don't you fly ? ”
This Auckland newspaper, like most
of the Ktiglish journals, seemed to re
gard the peace trip mostly In the light
of an advertising campaign.

Wool Growers Find Good
Market by Shipping to Portland
Portland W ith wool contracting for
the 1916 clip just starting in the East
ern counties, the last remnant o f the
1915 clip is being sold here. The
Portland Wool Warehouse company has
not over 40,000 pounds in its ware
house on Municipal Dock No. 1, and
that is all the wool that is le ft in Port
land.
The bulk o f these wools were
sold at from 21 cents to 224 cents for
fine and 26 to 30 cents for coarse wool,
according to condition and shrinkage.
‘ ‘ The prices realized,” said W . L.
Crowe, manager o f the company, "a r e
from 3 cents to 6 cent* better than
were offered in the country for the
same wools. The growers are more
than satisfied with their ex;>eriment
o f sending their wools here to be mar
keted, and it is safe to say a much
larger quantity w ill tie sent here dur
ing the coming season.
“ We have sold wool to about 17 d if
ferent customers, a dozen o f whom
never o[>erated in this section before.
We have had inquiries from a dozen
other big Eastern mills, and although
we did not close deals with them we
are looking forward to their trade in
new wools.
“ Our object is to improve the condi
tion o f the woolgrowers
and put
them all on an equal basis.
By avail
ing him self o f cheap money, which he
could never do before, the grower is
enabled to hold his wool until he is
ready to sell. A ll the wool consigned
here is sold only with the approval o f
the growers.
It is different when the
wool is consigned to the East, for it
then gets beyond the owner's control.”
Potato Shipments 600 Cars.
Portland — Up to the present time
about 600 cars o f potatoes have been
shipped from Oregon, and the indica
tions are the total shipments fo r the
season w ill not exceed 1000 cars. N or
mal shipments from the state are
about 1500 cars a year.
“ There are between 400 and 500
cars o f potatoes le ft unsold,” said Mc
Kinley Mitchell, ‘ ‘ ami these w ill all
clean up at some price.
There is no
likelihood the market w ill he any bet
ter in the immediate future, but there
is a |v>asibility the late market will
improve i f C alifornia cleans up.”
Market Roads Ditcussed.
Milwaukie, Or.. Market roads were
discussed at the m eeting o f Milwaukie
Grange Saturday afternoon, the main
address being delivered by C. B. Han
son, master.
Mr. Hanson suggested
that main market roads can be built by
district assessments to be paid for
partly by the abutting property, and
the balance by a district extending
from one to two miles from each side
o f the road. Mr. Hanson urged the
enactment o f a law by which farmers
may form road districts and take con
trol o f the district road construction.
