Officials Say Work of Experts Is Poorly Done-Charges Too Great After putting in a bill for 152.U1 lor exporting the books of the county officers the representatives of the Portland firm in the employ of the state accountant's departmeut'appeared before .fudge Bushey this morning to find out why the county court had re fused to pay the bill. This bill was sent in without the O. K. of the state department and as it was greatly in excess of former years it was refused by the county court. For the vear 1914 it cost the county a total of $i;iO to have the boohs exported bv locnl ac countants and IH5 of this" sum was for work on old warrant lists of several years bnck making n total of less than '100 for exporting the countv books ami as n result .lodge Bushev could not see why it should cost five times as much to have Portland accountants do the snme work. The bill for l,n2o.ll was itemized as follows: Auditors' time . K. It.

The Portland firm also itemized all of tlie oi'lstanding warrants for the year in I -t nnd all of the warrants pnid nun cuiiciuiou. mis is entirely nil necessary according to County Clerk (ichlhnr us it is nil shown on his books and the total nmouats are all that un considered and the work of itemizing the nmnuiils only takes more time for which the county is asked to pay $10 jier day. Several pages of this 'work is found nnd then it is shown that in 27,000 warrants paid not a singln cent's discrepancy was found between the amount ordered by the couutv court and the amount paid by the county clerk. In the single item of 20 Vi sacks of cement nt 'J per sank or IU..'V0 to which is milled the cost of the sacks which same was subtracted when the si i kr were returned leaving the origin al amount to be paid, these experts find nu error of ifO.,'10.

When Judge Ganteabciu ap plied to Governor West for a certifi cate of election it wbb refused him on the ground that the entire net was un constitutional und void and mandamus proceedings weru instituted by Judgi Oantenbcin in the supremo court to compel the issuance of tho certificate und in this he was successful.

THIS INTERVIEW CONVEYS IRNI OFIATISTOdE German Leader Intimates France and Russia Are Not to be Feared ENGLAND ALONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR WAR Reading Betwen Lines Critic Says It Shows Germany's Desperation (By J. W. T. lie-ion, former London Correspondent for United Ffeea.) New York, Dec. 22. Tho most ig- nifieent indication of the attitude of Germnny's war leaders whjch has yed conn from the front, wns contained to- lay ,n Kail II. Von Wnvgnnd'B inter view with Admiral Von Tirpitz. As a frank declaration of the belief that war was forced upon tho kaiser, the admiral's statement is even more important than tho same correspond ent's recent interview with the German i'1-riwir prince. In every essential the murine min ister's utterances Constitute a warning, born almost of desperation, to the Brit ish. . . . " . The German leaders apparently hold that neither Prance nor Kussiii is an enemy to be fenrcd, but that England is the backbone of the nati German conlitinu. Von Tirpitz expresses tho fear thut' the Knglish may insist on fighting the war to a finish. Ills words suggest the view that such an outcome would ho more beneficial tu them than to any of the belligerent peoples. Tj compel Kngliind to abandon its desire for a finish fight apparently in tho chief object of German strategy. The admiral speaks of Germnny's ability tn continue the struggle as long as the British desire, but his romarka seem shaded by a spirit of despera tion. - Must Terrorize England. He hints strongly that if Bngluud persists in fighting for an overwhelm ing decision, Germany will have to protect itself regardless of means, sim ply in nccn:iliiaco with the first law ot nature. Tho Knglish must be terrorlwd into reasonableness, is Von TirpiU's real message to the world. llo defines how this can be done. II wants tn know what Americans would suy if German submarines were ordered to torpedo the British merchant ma- ' rine. It has been recngiiied as rule of mill 'in wnrfuie that unarmed ship cannot he sunk unless all souls on board are rest lied. Von Tirpitz ' proposition, however, is to engage in submarine raids against lliese trailing resseis, lorpcioiug inein as if they were 'warships and sending all inuls to the bottom with them.
