Boat Sent From Cruiser Ten

DETAILS OF INCIDENT
ARE NOT YET KNOWN
It Is Thought Harbor Is Mined
and Shots Were to Keep
Boat Safe
Washington, Nov. IS. Official con
firmation of a report that Trkish land
batteries had fired on a steam launch
from the United States cruiser Ten-
nossoe, in the Gulf of Smyrna, was re
ceived toilny at the navy department
from Cnptnin Decker. Seeretury Dan
iels Immediately cabled Captain Docker
for further particulars, but insisted
there wns no cause for alarm.
The first report indicated the cruiser
herself had been fired at, but a lntor!
message wns interpreted as meaning
that tho lnnd batteries opened fire on
the cruiser's launch as it was en route
from Vurla to Smyrna.
Tho cruiser's launch carried tho
American flag.
flii me navy ieparrmenr Knows is i
that h shot wns fired. The department
will merely "mark time" pending the
receipt of further advices. Secretary
of tho Navy Daniels mid Acting Secre
tary of State Lansing conferred over
" tho incident for an hour and the latter
attempted to get into communication
with American Ambiiisndor Morgenthau
at Constantinople.
The launch, it was reported, was on
its way to Smyrna to investigate re
ports that Americans interests were
mdnngered.
Smyrna Closed Fort
According to information given out
by Secretary Daniels, Captain Decker's
report merely said: "His boat" had
been fired upon. It was generally be
lieved this meant the cruiser's launch.
"Information so far received con
cerning the Incident is very indefinite,"
Daniels said. "All we know is that a
shot was fired. Whether it was fired
with hostile intent or as a warning to
Captain Decker was not; explained.
"Smyrna is a closed port (Tow and Is
probably mined. The land forces may
have fired the shot to prevent the
launch or even possibly the Tennessee
itself entering tho harbor and running
upon a mine field. I hope this Is tho
case. In any event, we cannot take
steps until we have the officinl facts'."
President Wilson whs noticeably anx
ious over the Tennessee incident. He
ordered nil reports concerning it to be
sent to him immediately upon receipt.
Government officiant expressed con
fidence, however, the occurrence would
nut result In the development of inter
national complications.
A Foolish Rumor.
A report received here via Montreal
thnt American Ambassador Morgenthau
had demanded his passports wns char
acterized ns "absurd'' both at the
While House and at the state depart
ment. It was said Morgenthau was
most, friendly with tho I'orte, and that
Turkish officials were constantly prais
ing his work. Morgenthau, it was de
clared, could not deuiaml passports of
his own volition he could only act in
such a matter nftcr he had been posi
tively instructed by the president, who
would not oven consider such action
without consulting first with the
senate.
Acting Secretary of State Lansing ex
plained hi; had t coinmuiiicuted with
Constantinople for two days, due to in
terruption of direct cable communica
tion, and the fact that messages must
pass through territory of Knropean bel
ligerents. He said communication to
sad from Asia Minor requires from 2
to five days.
Lousing was making every effort this
afternoon to reach George Horton, the
1'nited States consul at Hmvrnn. No
direct word had been received from him
for several days.

Monday. He said everything wns tran

It wns reported that the cruisers

of Bnother Mnme disaster. Horotary
Daniels, however, would not discuss the
report. He snid he would not discuss
the status of the cruiser until he had
received complete reports from Captain
Decker.
"We sent the two cruisers to Tur
key," snid Daniels, "with funds to re

to get money. Since then they hve

MILITARY MAN WANTS RUSSIA IS GETTING
MUCHJJiRGER ARMY SOREATTHE ALLIES:
Chief of Staff, General Woth
erspoon, Would Have An
Army of 200,000
Washington, Nov. 18. America needs
more 6oldiors. .
This was the positive assertion in the
annual report of General Wotlierspoou,
chief of staff of the United (States
army, published here today.
Ooueral Wotherspcon maintains that
not only is the United States unprepar
ed to resist invasion by a first-class
power, but also that we are in no posi
tion to defend the Fnnnma canal, the
Philippines, Hawaii or Alaska. He con
tends that the probable value of our
coast defenses is questionable.
800,000 Reserves.
In his report, General Wotherspoon
urged that the nation's standing army
be increased from 105,000 men to 200,
000 and that in addition there be a
mobile army of S0O,uO0 first-line troops
and. 300,000 second-line troops. He de
clared tne nation, with its present mili
tary force, cannot nssemble rapidly
enough sufficient strength to cope with
an enemy, debarking on our shores.
Dialriuution of the nation's forces
on a wide front was advised by Gen
eral Wotherspoon because a wido choice
oi' landing places waB open to an enemy.
The first line of the mobile force of
500,100, he said, would have thoroughly
trained men, equipped with supplies and
provisions for six mouths. These would
b reinforced by a second line of 300,-
000 men drawn from organized militia
and similarly provisioned.
Forces Inadequate.
General Wotherspoon hold that the
troops now distributed among our for
eign possessions, under present organ
ization plans, were totally inadequate
to meet the needs of outlying districts,
and that an effective defense of the
Philippines was "manifestly impossi
ble'' with present forces. Likewise, he
saiil. the l anama cannl could not be
protected aganst 4,'oroign invasion by
the present garrison or by proposed ad
ditions thereto, unless the army was so
squinped that these garrisons could be
rapidly reinforced.
Of Alaskn, General Wotherspoon snid.
the garrison there of 500 men "verged
on the ridiculous unless it could be re
inforced at the very earliest stage of an
impending conflict," by forces from
the Slates. The same criticism, he said,
npplied to Hawaii.
Lakes German System.
General Wotherspoon hinted that Ger
many's system of training was the best
meai.s of providing the mobile forces he
rerotiinieiiilecl.
in any scheme, he added, "to
create such a force of mobile troops us
contemplated ahove, we cannot do bet
ter than follow the example of master
minus in military oigauljitiou for na
tional defense., The policies developed
in this direction all include, among oth
ers, the primary plan of using the
standing army as a school fur training
men, who, on graduation from thut
school, would pnHH into the reserve force
ami constitute the real national mill
tary strength.
" Mxperimice hus shown that two or
threo years is the lowest possible limit
of time in which the average man cuu
be "(inverted into a disclipincd, trained
and effective soldier."

Them on Russia's Part
Copenhagen, Nov. 18. For the first
time since the war began, there were
indications at Petrograd today of dis
satisfaction on the Russinns' part with
their allies' handling of the Western
European campaign.
The slav leaders were reported to be
compluining openly that although tha
czar's forces have invaded both East
Prussia and Qnlicia,, the Franco British
army has not even succeeded in driving
the Germans out of France.
The Russian view wns said to be that
it -was quite right to expect action by
the Slavs on Germany's eastern frontier.
as a diversion of the Teutonic pressure
in the west, but that it was hardly fair
to except the czar to continue acting
lniietiuiteiy, in the meantime permitting
tne Tunis to overrun the Caucasus, un
less they accomplished something for
tnemselves.
It was admitted, too, that the Ger
mans had resumed the offensive from
the direction of Thorn and were ad
vancing on Flock, in Russian Poland
This was said to ba still further fretting
the czar's-advisors, since it involved
still further exertions by tha Russians
in this Held of war at a time when
they are extremely anxious to be busy
elsewhere.
Turkish victories along the Trans-
Caucasian border were nrousing an in
creasing demand, dispatches from the
Slav capital said, for the annihilation
of the Moslems and the prediction was
made that unless the allies had sue
ceeded in the meantime in expelling the
Germans from France, the now year
would see a practical abandonment of
the Russian campaign against the kaiser
and a concentration instead against the
Ottomcn troops.

tory to the hoard, the Salem school
hoard Is making nn effort to devote the
surplus of funds which will be derived
from taxes for the coming year to the
payment of the outstanding indebted
ness of the district. With this end In
view, the board of directors held a con
ference at the Hotel Marion at noon
yesterday with Attorney O. G, Hingham
to get some Icgul advice upon the ques
tion, The usual levy for school .purposes
for the Nalcin school district for several
years pnst has been 7.H mills, and tills
levy, based upon ronner assessed val
uations, usually produced about Hf,0l0.
While the assessed valuations of prop
erty for school purposes within the city
will be considerably below those ot
former years, the board will not In
crease the levy lor this year. The
ifsr,-.H)0 derived from taxes has been
more than enough to pay the expenses
of the school system of the district In
the past and the board has been using
the surplus In the erection of new school
buildings,
It hns been the desire of the board
to liquidate some of the old debts of
the district with this surplus this year,
but as all of the outstanding debts con
sist of Sll yenr bonds, which will not

sought legal advice as to their right to
force these bonds In for pnyment. Since
the bonds rannot he retired until the

they bear, but ran only Invite the hold

YOUNO' INCENDIARIES
Lo Angeles, Nov. 18. Nine
boys of ages from 0 to 10 were
held in the detontion home, here
today, following their confession
thnt they burned the Thirty
- Fifth street school a week ago
to "get even" with Principal
Robert J. Emery. They also
confessed to several small burg
laries. The boys told the police that
they had formed an organiza
tion called "The Secrst Seven,"
the chief qualification for mem
bership in which was a reputa
tion for not "snitching" when
other members got Into tronb'e.
The police professed "to be

fore End of War
London, Nov. 18. England'! middle
class gave a heavy groan today at the
morning newspapers' announcement of
a prospective doubling of tho income
tax.
News that the incroaso was neces
sary was conveyed to the honso of com
mons by Chancellor of the Kxehequor
David Lloyd George last night, but it
did not reach the public very generally
until tonoy, That tho rate must he
advanced was widely recognized. This
wns not quite so bad, however, as the
uetinite knowledge that the advance
was coming at once.
The tax reaches all Incomes exceeding
the English equivalent of about (300,
so thnt, although woiking)cliss incomes
are relatively low in Enjjiund, only the
pretty poor escape.
Up to About $Mii0 annually there
are some exemptions, but they are nut
large.
Un the new1 basis, to sum the matter
up, the averngo man with what is
known ns an "earned Income" exceed
ing flOOO yearly will be mulcted np
proximately one month's salary out of
every twelve.
Tnosa with incomes from invested
capital will pay something like a tentii
of their dividends to the government
In the case of the very rich the levy
win be still heavier.
From the wealthy us well as from the
middle class came naturally a sign ot
pain at tne chancellor s announcement
H is by the latter group, however, that
the tax is most severely felt, the con
tribution of flOO from un incoiuo, say,
of $H!iMJ yearly being decidedly more
serious mutter than ono of $1000 out
of an annual revenue of $12,000.
There have always been complaints
mat many men of large Incomes, de
rived from numoruus different sources,
some of them perhaps abroad and nub
ject to more or less juggling by clever
bookkeeping methods, have escaped
comparatively lightly, whereas those ot
siniill means and especially wage Corn
ells nave been cumpelled to pny the tux
to the Inst cupper,
Mircover, the intimation hns been
given plainly by high officials of the
government that the initial increase
would not be the only by any means,
and some predictions have even been
made tliut the levy oa returns from in
vested funds might ultimately reach 23
per cent.
If It were generally felt Hint the
burden would not have to be Carried
long, it might not seem so heavy, but
it was widely recalled today that when
an Income tux was imposed during the
Hoer war, strong assurances wero given
thut It would be abolished soon after
the struggle wns over, Instead of which
it hus mounted steadily ever since,
Such having been tiie case n a sequel

skirmish, is it likely, the question wns

Anti-Trust Law May Cause
Some Trouble in Forming
the Association
For tha purpose of formulating defi
nite plans for the organization of the
Pacific Hop Growers' association, dele
gates from the growers' associations of
California, Washington and Oregon are
in session at the assembly rooms of the
commercial club this afternoon and will
probably hold meetings from time to
time for several days or until the prop
osition ia worked out satisfactorily to
all three state organizations.
No definite plan of business organi
zation has boen fixed upon, but there
are two fundamental propositions which
the delegates will consider and adopt
at an early stage of the proceedings,
alter which the details of organization
and business arrangement can be built
up according to the plnn outlined in
tho basic principles. The initial pur
pose is for the growers to form a cor
poration to handle the crops of the
mombers for a period of years, but
whether it will be formed with throe
separate organizations, one in each
central organization with branches in
each state, is tho question to be de
cided upon at this meeting.
Shorman Law Comes In,
Great care must be exercised by the
growers in the formation of'this asso
ciation to keep within the provisions
of too anti-trust laws of the country
and not lay themselves liable to attack
and prosecution, and ultimato demorul
ir.ution, under the Sherman anti-trust
law. The anti-trust law rocoguizes the
right of farmers and laborers to or
ganize to promote their respective in
terests and protect themselves against
monopolistic and capitalistic interests,
but thore is a very delicate line of d.s-
tinction as botween a "gtfod trust
and a trust organized in restraint ot
trude, and this is the point which the
uop growers will have, to bear in numl
und Keep within the limits of tho luw.
If tno threo suites wero to form sepa
rate organizations and then consolidate
.under one corporation for tho govern
ment and control of tho business of all
of tho stato associations, the element ot
monopoly ana "restraint or undo"
mig'it be construed to exist by the fed
eral courts, if the organization should
be attacked by hostile interests and
the grower delegates have beenwarnod
that this la just tho opening that the
hop dealers aro laying for in the holies

up tno organization On this account
every detail of the proposed plan of
organization will have to bo gone over
very thoroughly anil the convention be
absolutely sure of its ground In overv
respect, and thut they are safely within
tne authority or the anti trust laws, be
