BEYONDSREPORTS! i THE MEANEST ALIKT, PROPERTY CUSTODIAN PAL.M FM lias Koi.ert Hie lm.sinesst of the American Metal C'o.L. VoRelstein & Co., Peer, Soiidlicinier & Co. and other (!cr inan owned concerns which dominated the metal market of America to the profit of German industry. The kaiser himself was personally interested in these concerns which were really hianches of the parent German concern and operated throughout Ihe world to the finan cial glory of the JIun. They controlled most, of the metal and smelting companies either directly or indirectly and manipulated the metal market. These concerns, working through neutral branches, supplied Germany with vast; quantities of copper and other needed metal, even after the United States declared war. As a result, some of the resident officials and stoe holders are in internment camps, and souks under surveil lance. They ought to he criminally prosecuted, for their record shows them 1he meanest war profiteers yet located as well as traitors to the United States. In order to avoid federal taxation, these German owned metal concerns paid out their excess profits in sala ries and commissions to its officials and managers who were merely dummy stockholders for the kaiser and his junkers. Take the American Metals Co. and observe the German names of these officials and their salaries, as typical of these practices: II. llocltschlld, ehulrman of board or directors f I79.G63.3U C.

None of these llun swindlers go to jail. They escape it by giving up the loot under process of liti gation. One great trouble Avith the United States is that we are too tolerant and too lenient with the traitor in our midst. The detected Gorman spy is interned, hoarded, fed and clothed at public expense, while the detected German war profiteer swindler merely has to , fork over his stolen booty. 6,288 PUPILS IN Interest in;; educational statistics of Jackson county are gleaned from llie annual reporl of ('.

(Hy the As Bociatotl Prcso). Tricky German U boat cominandors liavo conceived a now plan designed to deceive crews of tho allied submarine destroyers In tho gamo of hide and seek in Euro pean waters. When a depth bomb Is discharged and does not cripple or destroy tho German undersea 'boat, as sometimes happens, a quantity of oil is released by somo dovico of tho submersible and quickly rises to the water's surfaco. Tho hopo of tho German U-boat captain Is that tho commander of tho destroyer will seo tho oil, bellove that tho submarino has been wrecked and drop no moro depth charges. Mean timo, tho German 1b endeavoring to uscapo. i American nnd lirilish commanders of destroyern and submarino chasers discovered tho scheme of tho Gor mans somo timo ago and since then have been dropping depth 'bombs In greater numbers than previously, using tho oil as a guide to tho gen eral location of their target. "Oil camouflago" tho American and Hrltish navy men call this latest German submarino trick. Rations for Horses.

MTCDFORD, OREOON', TUESDAY, JULY SEIZE SHIP PLANo s BEING SENT TO WASHINGTON, July 23. An or der iHBued today by Secretary Mc Adoo Instructing customs collectors to refuse permits to ull except gov ernment officials for taking ship and shipyard plans out of tho country, re vealed that agents of tho shipping board recently seized in New York a largo amount of valuable ship specifi cations in clearing for Scandinavian ports. Tho specifications doalt minutely with America's shipbuilding program and also with vessels under construc tion in this country for the French navy. Somo of them were tho prop erty of American builders, who ex plained that they had been asked for plans as u basis for post-war orders. Investigation is being made of the purpose for which the othor ship ments wore intended. Military intorosts of tho United Statos were considered to be jeopar dized by the marine documents which were taken from passengers and members of tho crews. Tho docu ments are said to have included drawings of American shipyards, photographs of ways, plants and ships, blue prints of American ships and mine sweepers and specifications of ships being 'built In France. Secretary McAdoo's order forbids the exportation of shipbuilding In formation, except under permit from the emergency fleet corporation and the secretary has been asked to order tho confiscation of all such plans found in the possession of unauthor ized persons leaving the country. Marino and technical periodicals which publish unauthorized drawings and photographs of American ship building activities or inventions will have all' issues containing such in formation withhold from foreign shipment. ; 5 U-BOAT ATTACK NANTUCKET, ,lass., .Inly 23. .Mystory today surfoundod tho report of n vessel In distress off the island of Nantucket, brought hero yesterday by an unknown aviator.

Sold everywhere TO USE RESERVISTS NEWT YORK, July 23. That Teu ton conspirators planned, even after this country's entrance into the war, to use Gorman reservists to invade Canada and Xioxlco, Is indicated In tho seized correspondence of Dr. Frederick August Richard von Strensch, according to federal offic ials. Von Strensch, when arrested. was described as a former protoge of Bismarck. Todny ho was described as a relative of the German emperor. The objects of the proposed Inva sions, according to the authorities, were to hamper tho dospatch of Can adian troops abroad and to Join arm ed Mexicans for the purpose of mak ing an attack upon the United States. Federal officials believe Alexandra Varda, hotter known as the Countess von Schcele, was tho author of let torsslgned "L" which were found In the belongings of von Strensch. The woman was arrested shortly after von Strensch's apprehension last week. In these letters were sentences indicating that between November 1915 and April 20, 1917, plots were in existence for 25,000 German re servists to cross from Buffalo, N. Y., to Bridgeburg, Ontario, and for 100, 000 Germans to enter Mexico at nu merous points along the Rio Grande. A.W.Walker Aufo Co.

A dNpnHi to the Exchange Telegraph from C'open imen sayn the selection of Duke Wil liam of Uracil as sovereign off Lith uania under the name of King- Medove litis aroused strong- criticism in Ger many. Tho Norddeutsehe Allg-emine Zci tunjj says the selection was made hv the stato council without ashing Ihe permission of Germany ami points out that tho independence of Lithuania was accomplished by Germany only on condition the creation of a mon archy should be effected according to the wishes of Germany . The newspaper, which is the offi cial org-an, says Germany will not al low Lithuania to come to any decision on the crown independently of Ger many. A dispatch from Amsterdam .March 20, said the ducal crown of Litbtmia ; ha.8 been offered to Duke William and he would probably accept. Duke!

The thort ase of brier pipes and their high ros. 55 per cent of the output of the seven big Maxwell plants is war work! 1 , Every one of those plants is doing its patriotic duty 100 per cent. We are frank to say we believe that is equally true of our competitors we have yet to learn of a single shirker in this industry. If there is anything more Uncle Sam desires done, we will 'tackle that too. Meantime, and for the very reasons set forth above, we deplore the loose statements of panic-preaching publicists throughout the country. These would close down the third largest industry in America on the grounds that it is a "non essen tial" industry. No other industry is doing so much outside its regular spherfi doini; it so willingly, doing it so rapidly and doing it so honestly as is this very motor car industry. For a ship builder to make a few more ships; or for an ordnance plant to make more guns is only to develop their normal business. But for a motor car factory to make ships entire and in part and guns and shells and fuses and caterpillar tractors and mine anchors and ' airplane motors, wings and other parts that is doing things. a i j 13 uiuuauy is uuui un Detroit, the very center of the motor car industry an inland city and one where, in normal times, we had no war industry now is doing more war work than any other city in America. And in our regular line we are also helping mors than any other class of business men to solve the transportation problems at home and abroad for we not only transport a very large percentage of our own raw material and finished product on hs own wheels, but every truck yes, and every pas senger car too helps by thousands, of tons per year in carrying, formerly done by the railroads. Loose talk is harmful at any time it is particularly serious just now. Let other industries do their part do a titb of what the motor car industry is doing and they will be going some. Meantime your own transportation problem, ac centuated as it is by the war activities and the war prosperity or the country, can best be solved by an efficient, economical, reliable Maxwell Motor Truck.
