Reporters . who sought to interview Kai' in bhah, minister plenipoten tiary from China, on the Chinese-Japanese war clouds to day were balked by his pretty daughter, who stamped her tiny foot when her father became voluble and cried to the aston ished press representatives: You must not ask pa un neutral questions, because he is so polite he just can't refuse to answer, if .1 don't watch him." So unimportant neutral ques tions were the only one the distinguished envoy's child per mitted him to make reply to. lie was allowed to say that he liked Chicago weather and that the American women were the most beautiful he had ever seen. STATE'SBIRTHDAY Judge D'Arcy Urges That His toric Ground Be Fitted Up For Park The seventy-second nnniversnry of the founding of a provisional govern ment at Champoeg was fittingly, cele brated last Saturday when more than 500 pioneers and their descendants gatherer to commemorate the event. Judge P. H. D'Arcy actod as president of the meeting, and introduced the npeukurs of -ti ty." H-xvemor Withy combe, in his address, suggested thut a building be erected on the site, follow ing the style of the Oregon state build ing at the Panama-Pacific exposition and that the state should appropriate money for the proper care of the grounds. Judge P. H. D'Arcy, who bus been president of the meetings for several years past, and who has been to a great extent responsible for the success of these gatherings also urged that a build ing resembling the pioneer's cabin should be erected on the grounds, to properly commemorate the historic event, and to be used as a gathering place and proper sheltof for the pion eers during tho meetings. The judge regretted that thore was so little known of the early historic events in Oregon's history, especially among school teach ers and pupils, and suggested thnt the early history of the northwest and espe cially of Oregon, be taught in the pub lic schools, following the example of Texas and other states. Judge D'Arcy prepared the bill and was active in securing its pnssuge by the legislature two years ago, by which the state purchased 12 acres, making the totnl acreage of the park 14.59. Ho not only urged that a suitable building should mark the site, but that the grounds should be fenced and properly taken care of, just as the Lincoln home in Kentucky and the Boston Commons in Boston are protected and mnde his torical, He called special attention to the progress that had been made since the provisional government wus formed at Champoeg. At that time the only mode of travel was by alow ox, team or by boat and the only trading was at the posts of the Hudson Bay company. He contrasted those days with the present, with its rapid means of travel and the hundreds of automobiles which sur rounded the park, It wus on May 2, 184-1 when the ownership of this country was an open question between the l.'nited Utates and Oreat Britain, that the pioneers, I feeling the need of a stronger govern-1 ing hand than the Hudson Hay company ! called the meeting at Champoeg, and j Joe Moeks, iu effect told all those whoi favored the l.'nited States to follow i him.

Further reports of I the Dardanelles operations were mix iously awaiting today lis official nn nounceinents of the fighting in that re- gioa clearly indicate tliat the losses of the allies have been heavier thuu wus expected.

A dispatch to the Daily Mail declares the French have landed at (Iheyikli and are now en trenching under rover of the warships, The other retirement is said to have been ordered because the Turks were found to be entrenched about Kun, Kuleh in great strength. To huvo at tempted to drive them out would have resulted in heuvy losses, it was believed.

Then, there Is the " finest homo in town," where the richest man lives. You enter a deep com,, m, li cit in g trench that '.i.-z.ugs across tho front yard of this "finest home." Tho house, in this case the Chateau Kongo, is completely in ruins. Vou keep on toward the east. Now liii.l then you reach a point where you are told to run, as trees overlook it that contain German sharpshooters. On you go through the piles of brick that used to be cottages. They were once held by Germans, hut the French mind und blew then up. You start to say something, but the guide warns for silence. Vou are too near the Ger mans ami u wor, would mean a hand grenade.

You don 't see them, but you sense them, and their trenche la businesslike appearing. The German trench Is cut through the flower gurden of a French work ingiiiun.

I IS E Steamers Gulflight and lush ing Suffer From Sea and Air Raids STATE DEPARTMENT IS FACING SERIOUS CRISIS Captain of Gulflight Dies Of Heart Failure and Two Sailors Drowned Washington, May 3. The state de partment today faced tho gravest situ ation since tho outbreak of the Euro peiin wur as a result of the torpedoing of the Americnn tank steamer Will flight by a German submarine and th uttuck luado upon the steamer Cunn ing by a German aeroplane. This was admitted by officials of the department today, The German embassy, usually prompt to defend' any seemingly overt wis, today doelinod to comment upon the attacks mada against the two American ships. Secretary 'Bryan was wholly non committal ns to action that m'ight be taken and refused to express an opin ion us to his view of the situation. Ainbiissudor Gerard at Berlin was In structed to formally cull tho attention of Germany to the attack made uKin the dishing and similar instructions ns to the Gulflight will probably be forwarded. It, is felt that some excuses may be offered by Germany ns to tho attack mado upon the (lulllight off the Hcilly Islands, as It will probably be stated that the desire was to prevent tho tank er's oil troni reaching tho enemy, The department, however, is as much concerned over the aeroplano attack upon the Ciishing as iu the submarine attack upon the tnnk steamer. Min ister Van ly?nt The Hague, hue re ported that one of three bomlw dropped by the German aircraft struck the dishing. No one was killed, but soma (lauiage was done. The dishing name is painted con spicuously on her aido. It Is enpevted that a vigorous protest, will be for warded in Germany.

The state do part me nt today was officially advised of the torpedoing of the American (link steamer Gulflight. A cable from American Consul Stephen at Plymouth confirmed press reports of the attack upon the steamer by a German sub marine. This was the first official word the government had received. "The Gulflight wus torpedoed off the Hcilly islundn on the first, lust.," tho cable stated. "The captain died of heart failure. Body landed. Two of crew drowned. Thirty are saved. Th vessel remained afloat and patrol boat are attempting to tow it to Hcilly.

If aiieh Is the esse, the kaiser's raid ers must limit their operations severely or they will bring suffering to Ger many's own friends. The Bultic prov inces are largely Gorman in sentiment. and the German language Is widely spoken bv the governing r.lnaM-a llin- denburg's army, therefore, cannot raid t random, unless he Intends to alienate , the pro Gorman sympathies of the Hal tic provinces. For this reason the new operations will presumably be conduct ed gently, with less of the "big stick" than prevailed olsewhere la the Husslan campaign.
