LONDON. Sept. 5. A Renter dis
patch frcm Amsterday snys: ,
"According to reliable Information
President Wilson's reply to Popo
Benedict's proposal has made a pro
found Impression In political circles
In (icrmnny. Mathlas Erzberger,
member of tho clerical center of tho
relchstng, who believes ho U backed
by a majority of tliVmmucTsoTtfio
relchstag, Is expected at tho next sit
ting of that body to demand legisla
tion for tho lmmedlato organization
of a government responsible to the
relchstag and the abandonment by,
tho government of Its plea of Inabil
ity to act regarding Alsaco-1-orraine, j
to tho extent of proposing that the'
decision regarding tho allegiance ofj
these territories shall be left to their
Inhabitants. It is expected also that
ho will advocate disarmament after
the win.
"It Is considered possiblo that the
leichstug will bo dissolved soon after
it reassembles, and that general elec.
tloius will bo ordered.
"Of noteworthy Interest is the
statement of Dr. Eduard David, so
cTallst leader of the relchstag that the
relchstng has constitutional means of
enforcing its v. Ill, ns no government
can continue rulu against its veto.
He sas that new elections In which
the soldiers at the front would par
ticipate would clearly show how the
ship or state must be steered. He
says lie confidently expects a crush
ing defeat of the pan-Germans and
annexationists."
Nineteen thousand eight hundred
and forty-three dollars Is the esti
mated cost of Improvement of Conger
avenue for a distance of halt a mile,
J commencing at Main street, according
to a report made to the city; council
last evening by Acting City Engineer
J. C. Cleghorn.
This estimate Is for an oil macad
am road twenty-four feet wide with a
five-foot concrete walk along the
lower side. Bltullthlc pavement
would cost' $25,765, according to
Cleghorn's figures. fc
The improvement' of this street
would necessitate the rearrangement
of the sewers In that locality, which
brings up the estimated cost substan
tially. Cleghorn was Instructed by the
council to Investigate the sewer con
ditions along the street and make a
complete report at the next meeting.
Careful Use of
Sugar Is Asked
WA8IIINOTON, D. C. Sept. 5.
Reduced consumption of sugar has
been asked of the American peoplo
by the food administration that a
threatened shortago in the allied
countries may be averted. Lack of
Bhips to move the Cuban and Hawai
ian crops promptly, It Is declared,
makes it necessary that this country
share Its sugar supply with Europe.
"The, conservation asked of tho
American people," the ndminlstra
trln's statement snys, "does not neces
sarily demand great sacrifices. It
only needs the elimination of waste
nnd the careful use of sugar to en
able America to make up the differ-,
ence required by the needs of the
allies.
"It Is not actually a lack of sugar
that emphasizes the need for its con
servation In the United States so
much as it Is inability to get sugar to
the places whero needed. The world
shortage is comparatively small and
confined .to Europe. With the stocks
on hnnd in this country and In Cuba
nnd these now coming In from Ha
waii, it woud appear that with proper
management and with speculation
eliminated, there need be no scarcity,
even in the immediate future, while
awaiting tho new crop."
The world's sugar supply Is esti
mated this year at 18,659,793 tons,
ngnlnst an average production of 18,
712,907. American consumption for
the first half of the present year was
slightly larger than Inst year, which
tho food administration attributes to
hoarding within tho household.
FEDERAL RAID IS
MADE ON I. W. W.
WASHINGTON, 1). C, Sept. 5.
A nation wide seizure of documentary
evidence of the I. W. W. Is being con
ducted today under the direction of
Attorney Qeneral Gregory.

cago, Portland, Seattle, Everett, Suit
Lake, Ban FrancUco, Los Angeles and
Duiuth.
William D. Haywood, national secre
tary, has been taken Into custody at
Chicago. The printing plants at the
headquarters In Portland and Seattle
have been confiscated, and the mem
bership cards taken from members.
SMALL PER CENT
OF MEN KILLED
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 5.
Eleven out of every 1,000 meji on the
western front in Europe nre killed,
according to French official figures,
mado public by Secretary Baker.
Tho percentage of killed Is much
less now than earlier In the war. Tho
high mark of casualties in the French
army was nt tho battles of Cbarlerol
and tho Marno, when 541 in every
10,000 were killed or wounded. The
killed havo not exceeded 20 per cent
of total casualties.
Ben Korn of the Keno district Is In
town attending to matters of busi
ness. He reports that there a great
number of sheep now in the ranges of
that district.
DECREE IN LAND
FRAUD CASE SOON
JUDGE KUYKKNDALL TREATS
EACH OF THE TWENTY-EIGHT
COMPLAINTS SEPARATELY.
MEMORANDA SENT TO SALEM
A decision apparently In favor of
the state, subject to the rights of the
United States, is Indicated by Circuit
Judge D. V. Kuykendall In the
famous Hyde-Benson land fraud
case, and the memoranda forwarded
to the attorney general at Salem from
which It Is expected that a decree
will be Issued in a few days.
There were twenty-eight separate
claims involved In the case, and In
his decision Judge Kuykendall has
treated each one separately, and a
decree will be Issued for each.
In the seven other counties In thq
state In which the case was tried, a
decision was made on the case as a
whole. From the memoranda Issued
the preponderance of the decision
seems to be favorable to the state,
subject to the rights of the United
States.

standing Brings Out Two More
Men Unexpectedly Many Gifts
Are Made the Yonng Men. '
A large number of friends and
patriotic citizens gathere'd at the
Southern Pacific depot this morning
to bid an appropriate adieu to the
vanguard of the 'great draft army,
which departed or the training camp
at American Lake.
It was a solemn occasion, and the
tears which did not appear on the
faces of those present were very near
the surface. Members of the Red
Cross Society presented each of the
men with gifts and many other tok
ens of love and esteem were showered
upon the departing boys.
Those departing this morning were
Willie Illch, Edward Henry Owens,
Frank Cacka and Guy Nyswaner.
Tho only two men were required by
the draft to be sent today, two others
were forced to go because of non-appearance
before the board for examl
nr.tlon. In both cases It was because
of misunderstanding, and Mr. DeLap
has written to the authorities to that
effect. ! -.1
Frank Cacka bad enlsted n .the,
navy, but was rejected because of In
ability ta pass the examinations. His
exemptton card had' been mailed to
the local office, and because ot this be
did not realize that it was necessary
for him to appear before the local
board when be was drawn In the
draft. Guy Nyswaner had moved, and
his mall was not forwarded to him,
so that he never received the notice
from the local board to appear for examination.
