Concerning operations on the eastern

otherwise tho advantage inclined to

Despite their Strumnitza victory,
there is no pretense that the allies yet
have a sufficient force to continue ef

WELL BALANCED FLEET
Utility of Battleships, Aero
planes and Submarines
Subject of Report
Washington, Oct. 18. Tho utility of
Dattlesnips, submarines, aeroplanes and
dirigibles will be the subject of a sep
arate report from the Secretary of the
Navy Daniels to congress, distinct from
the national defense program, it was
learned today.
In the lust session of congress there
was a strong tendency to favor devel
opment of submarines and aircraft, to
the exclusion of the giant battleships
and t-ecretury Daniels recently express
ed the opinion that the spectacular op
eratious of the under-sea boats had had
the tendency of making perhaps a too
strong sentiment for them. He sug
gested America should have a well bal
anced fleet with the nig boats still pre
dominant.
The naval advisory board committee
on aeioplanautics will submit to Presi
dent Wilson after its annual meeting
Thursday a report on military aircrafts
developments abroad mid some of the
remarkable developments in America.
The United States nas the only aero
plane which practically sails itself. The
aviator only turns the crank and steers
the vessel.
Some How Johnny Bull Man
ages To Do the Wrong
Thing at the Right Time
Washington, Oct. IS.--Stnt. depart
ment officials indicated today that no
American action will be taken regard
ing tho German complaint that a
British patrol boat, displaying the
American flag killed members of a
German submarine seeking rescue after
their vessel had been sunk following
its shelling by tho British steamer
Nicosiun.
The report that the patrol used the
American flag until just before it at
tacked the submarine offered tho only
international question. But the right
of warships to use the flags of a
neutral as a ruse, whether in attack
ing or in flight, has been recognized
and established for more than a nun
dred veurs.
Killing of the Germans as they were
trving to escape does not place any
duty upon the United States to protest
to Great Britain according to the stato
depurment's attitude. ThiH alleged
barbarity was held to be on the same
international legal footing as the al
leged German atrocities in Belgium,
against which the I'nited States never
Indued complaint.
The net of the British, however, may
make difficult the American demand
that German submarines exercise visit
and search before sinking merchant
men.
Secretary Lansing snid the affidavits
filed in tiie case through the German
embassy had not been culled to his at
tent ion yet.

Tho city councilmen are due to
wield thcii pruning knives tonight at
I tin regular meeting of the city council
to trim the city budget for III IS to fit
the pocket books of the tax payers
and also to ci nform to the tax pa; ers,
idtns ,f economy. The council has
been meeting in executive session fre
quently for the last two weeks to pre
pare the 1015 budget and after the
most rigid economy the totalled the
amount only to rum t tint on account
of the reduction in property valuation
the tentative budget would call for a
15.01 mill tax. Tho councilmen then
began another course of pruning and it
is expected that the taxes will be re
duced to M.5 or 14.fi in the budget as
it. is finally presented to the council
for their approval tonight.
?ubllc to Have a Say.
Tho taxpayers have a sny, however,
nnd a puiilic meeting will bo called
before the amount is finnlly determin
ed.' The reason for the apparent in
crease in the tux for next year is the
decrease in property valuation from
last year. In 1H14 the property valua
tion for the city Of Salem was 12,
ll!;i,(Wl. Of this sum the corporation
tax was l.BOO.S.'M. Tho corporation
tax is established by the state tax com
mission and the amount has not been
fixed for this year und it is expected
Hint it will be a slight decrease from
last year's amount.
The property valuation for the city
of Salem as fixed by County Assessor
Ben West for 1015 is 10,(!0H0. Add
to this the corporation tax of last year,
ljil,.100,,'IS4 and the amount upon which
tho city might base its taxes Is $ll,li:,
:i84 or a decrease of .r00,2H5 from 1-si
year's property valuation. Again if the
property valuation of the corporations
operating within the city is decreased
over last year by the tax commission
it is possifde that the city will be ob
liged to base its tax levy upon nbou.
i(ii()n,(l00 less than last year and tM'
will account for the necessnn Increase
in taxes over last year's levy of 11.2
mills.
Must Raise $185,000.
It is estimated by the committee on
accounts and current expenses that It
will be necessary to raise approximate
ly iIH5,0(I0 to run the city's business
for the coming year, This Is a slight
increase over lust year due to Increases
in the street department of about I!HH'
and in the fire department of about
2,110(1 made in the interests of in
creased efficiency, There Is nlsn an In
crease of it:i,on(l to the incidental fund
of the city which Is, however, only
tcmpnrnry. This is relative to the fore
closing of liens of the city on paving
in the (Inks addition and also for n
few other odd lots about the town. In
the Oaks addition n number of the
property owners have defaulted in their
pavement tax and it will be necessary
for the cltv to pay the taxes due the
county in order to foreclose and sii'iire
a clear title to the property. As soon
as Die title is secured through the
courts these lots will be sold at a price
high enough to reimburse the city tor
all expenses nun tne ir.i.oou wn
paid back.
Ask More for Firemen.
The amount appropriated for I he fin
department last year was 12,Hii"
this year 15.4m is asked which will al
low for some needed repairs and the
employment of regular firemen instead
of the call men. Chief Button explains
that when a call is turned in. at night
and nil of the call men ure al the Mn
lion he has enough nu n to mini the en
gines, but when the call comes il. ring
one of the three meal hours all of tin
eipiipineat is short handed. One do.
strurtive fire, it is argued, would en
tail losses fur in excess of the extra
money asked. The increase in the street
department is sought to cover sweep
ing, cleaning, construction nnd resurfac
ini! of streets oud the construction of
! new bridges.
! The sum of 7,(HI0 is nsked for new
sewers which is the since as the amount
appropriated last year. The I'llil bill

EMPIRE ENDANGERED
BY BULGARIA'S ACTS
By J. W. T. Miuton.
(Written for the I'nited press.)
New York, Oct. IS. The blackest
v.e. k Great Britain hiu faced since the
beiiiniiiit of the war Is causing the cir
culation of rumors from Berlin that
tentative peace Is under consideration.
London, however, denied these reports,
and expressed the belief that Germany
will soon be suing for peace because
of the danger of a momentary collapse.
Though it is imposslblo to tell I he
basis for the renewed peace talk, the
cnlrtiiirc of Bulgarin, and the opening
of the Teutonic campaign in the Hnl

war, These have caused a profound
CONCRETE BRIE
PLANNED BY STATE
HIM E
Proposed Structure to Cross
at Salem to Cost About
LOW ROAD GRADE AND
DIRECT LIFT PLANNED
Seventy Per Cent of Original
Cost Would Remain Within
Two Counties
Proposing a atructine which will util
ize as far as possible local materials
and locul labor, but which will provide
a bridgo heavy enough to accommodate
interurbnn traffic for yoara to eome,
Assistant Engineer H. W. Holmes, hend
of tho bridgo department of the state
highway engineers' office, presented
his plans to the Marion county court
this afternoon- for a bridgo across th
Willnmotto river at this city. The struc
ture us proposed will be of the over
head, reinforced concrete typo with tho
deck hung from the arches instead of
being placed above them. This will en
able the engineers to construct a bridgo
at a particularly low grade across the
river and will eliminate the climb which
is a feature of the present, steel bridge.
It will consist of four concrete arch
spans 15.'l feet from center to center of
the piers; one movable span 120 feet
long across tho river chunnel; five con
crete arch spans 74 feet long and an
earth filled approach.
"In general, it may be snid that tl
type of structure aa proposed is the re
sult of an effort to revelop a design
that, would not only prove economical
nnd practical from ft construction
standpoint but would, at the same time,
present a pleasing appearance from an
aesthetic viewpoint, with the dnsirnWe
features of utilizing, as far aa possible,
available local materials and local lab
or.. It is safe to say vnat 70 per cent
of the cost of the entire etructuro wilt
remain within tho counties Involved,"
wns tho statement of Mr. Holmes in
outlining his proposed plan beforo the
county court this afternoon.
The bridge ns planned will cost ap
proximately 2:i5,0O0, which is a liberal
estimate and nny. alterations that might
be made will tend to reduce the cost.
Tho estimate given covers every pos
sible excess expense and provides for
any of the approved typos of movable
spans across the channel. The tvpe of
movable span proposed is the Strauss
direct lift tvpo which has proven satis
factory in tho past and narmonir.es wit
the design of tho structure.
The bridge deck Is .11 feet wide from
curb to curb and has two six-foot walks
at the aides and is 1150 feet over nH
with the concrete approaches but ex
clusive of the dirt filled approaches. It
will bear the addition of a street car
track and tho attendant increased traf
fic, nnd nt the same time provide for
plenty of room for vehicles.
Tho plun of the bridge department
ns proposed submitted the county com
this afternoon and tnken under advise
ment by this body pending tho report
of the engineers who are making a
physical examination of the bridge at
present across thu river. The present
steel structure was condemned in 1012
and has been considered dangerous for
years and the Marion county court is
strongly in favor of thu erection of a
new structure. It is necessary, how
