The toasts proposed were "To Franco anil Our Guests," by Mr. Frick; "To the t'nited States and Our Host," by M. Vlvlanl, and "To the Presidents of the United States 'ind France," by Colonel Roosevelt. Co'onel Roosevelt sat at the right of Marshal Joffre and they conversed animatedly in French. At tho evening session of federal court Wednesday night the jury reached a verdict- of not guilty against Eldwell Riddle, Foster Bark ley and Harry Brown, Klamath In dians who were charged with bring ing liquor on the reservation. The jury was out on!y 35 minutes. This was the second trial for the defend ants, the first trial having been held at Portland last winter, the jury dis agreeing. The evidence showed that the accused were gloriously drunk on the reservation, yet the government failed to introduce convincing proof that tho liquor was drank on the res ervation. Today the case against Tom Bartel charged with selling whisky to an Indian is on trial. l.r.to Wednesday night, shortly af ter their arrival in the city in custody of Deputy United States Marshal Wil liam Harmon, Ylewey Oencbain nnd Tommy Wabtab, two Klamath Indian boys aged about 17 years, were ar raigned before Judgo Wolverton in federal court on a larceny charge. Tho boys blended guilty to the charge of breaking into FHiott's traders store on the reservation and stealing $3 in money and a small quantity of mer chandise. Because of their youth and previ ous good record, on recommendation of Assistant District Attorney Gold stein, the court sentenced the boys to 30 days confinement In the Multno mah county jail at Portland.

Ctipt. Ron nld Skinner' o the new British freighter Lyndhurst Grove, described to me today the newest way the Brit ish admiralty bus of lighting the U-boat menace, which if not curbed will, it is claimed, bring the whole world face to face with food famine. While methods change from month to month, according to dipt. Skinner, the f!)0 Amerienn-bnilt "chasers" are now playing an important part in de struction of the under-sea terrors. It has been semi-oi'ficially report ed that 48 German suhmnrines were ruptured or sunk during tho first two weeks of February. Hunt in Pucks, The chasers hunt in packs. Sea planes fly over the waters of the war zone and when they spot a sub marine send out a wireless to the mosquito' patrol giving the locution of the enemy. The senplano circles above the sub marine like n monster fish-hawk and in this way directs the aimed niotor bonts to their quarry. Ninety-nine times ill a hundred the submarine has submerged before the chasers call reich tho signalled ren dezvous. But this does not necessarily mean the submarine has escaped. After gathering at the spot where the sub marine has submerged, the chnsers then scatter in nil directions, radiat in from the tell-tale U-boat bubbles like the spokes of a wheel. Working in pail's they drag light nets nnd troll for the submnrine. Contact Homb Used. When an obstacle ix. encountered that experience tells the siib-lieiitcn-ant in charge of these small warships is a submarine, n conflict bomb is sent sliding down u wire to the sub-! merged vessel. There is a muffled roar, n great commotion on the surface of the water, and another crew of u twen tieth century pirate ship lias gone to Davy Jones' locker. This method of fighting the sub marine is made possible by the fact that most of the wuters of! the coast of the British isles are comparatively shallow. In any case a submarine cannot go down further than Kifl feet. The French lire using dirigibles in addition lo seaplanes for the spotting of submarines. Another form of observation nir craft used by the French is the sau sage balloon which is towed over suspicious ureas by tugs or oilier small fleet uiixiliaries. The English have also, if is said, invented n powerful aerial bomb that will destroy a submarine if exploded from ns far awav as lit) feet.
