MARKET 10 BE TESTED
Farmers Will Not Be Re-
quired to Purchase Ex-

Tlie scales n use nt the Salem Public,
Market will be tested Saturday by tho
officers of tho state sealer of weights
and measures upon complaint of a num
ber of Salvia merchants that tho scales
in use at the market ure not standard
scales. In consideration of tho fact that
the fanners who patronize the public,
market use their scales only onco each
week or even less ircquently than that
the office state sealer will not require
them to purchase expensive scales. If
the lnrniers were using their scales ev
ery day us the merchants are they
would bo lustified in purchasing ex
pensive scales and tho stuto sealer will
only require that the farmers who use
market will equip their stalls with
scales which will insure their customers
of receiving full weight for thoir
money.
It has been suggested thnt as the
farmers make but infrequent uso of
scales that the Commercial club pur
chase six pairs of under suspended
scales at a price of about 20 for tho
entire lot and this would equip 12 stnlls
ns each pair of scales would accommo
date two stalls. In this way tho bur
den of purchasing the scales would not
fall upon the furnierB who patronize the
market and tho scales would be tho
property of the Commercial club and
could be used during the entire season.
It is said that good scales can bo pur
chased for $.'(.50 per pair. No complaints
have come in from customers who
clnimcd that they have been short

SECRETS BARED
BY CHURCHILL IU
I
Former Lord of Admiralty
Talks Frankly To
Legislators
JUSTIFIES EXPEDITION
TO THE DARDANELLES
Claims Credit For Some
Successes In "Gamhle
of War
London, Nov. 15. Baring the inner
socrets of his erstwhile office of first
lord of tho admiralty, Winston Church
ill informed tho house of commons to
day that tho Dardanelles expedition
was a "gamble." Yet, it was a gamble
taken after mnturo reflection he indi
cated. "I regarded the Dardanelles enter
prize," ho explained, "ns a legitimate
gamble of war for a prize of inestim
able vnluo, with a reasonable chance of
winning. On that bnsis, I went before
tho ministry and accepted full respousi
nibility for initiating."
Tho man, who has now resigned his
cabinet post to fight tho enemy from
the western trenches, defended the Ant
werp expedition, recently criticised ns
a "folly, " to the extent of saying it
forced the Hermans biter to buttlo on
tho Yser instead of farther south in
France. Ho disclaimed, however, any
part, in sending the expedition which
failed.
"We hnvo no reason to be discour
aged," he said amid applause.
"We are passing through bad times,
though probably they will be worso be
fore they are better.
" But they will be better," he added
confidently.
Denying thnt the fleet wns sent la
the Dardanelles over Admiral Iiord
Fislior's objections, Churchill said thnt
tho sea lord assented to every move
ment. "However, Fisher did not give clear
guidance and tho firm support J might
hnvo expected," Baid Churchill con
firming stories of friction between
them. "If ho did not approvo, he
should have spoken out."
Churchill indicated tho war may be
long continued.
"Germany may bo defeated more
fatally in tho second and third year
thnn if the allies entered Berlin in
first year," ho said. "The 1915 cam
paign wns governed by a shortage of
munitions. The next campaign ongni
to bo settled against Germany by her
shortago of men."
Premier Asquitli prniseil Churchill as
a "wise counsellor, hriliiant colleague
and faithful friend."
Attack On Kltchonor.
London, Nov. 15. Tho sharpest at
tack on Lord Kitchener yet heard in
parliament wns made today by Sir
Arthur Murkliam following Winston
Churchill's address. Ho said that
Kitchener wns responsible for the
Antwerp nnd Dardanelles "blunders'
nnd was guilty of withholding in
formation. "t am convinced," he said, "that
whilo Kitchener, who accepts no ad
vice, remains in tho war office, we
will not win the war."
Pressure Upon Greece.
Athens, Nov. 15. Tho newspaper
Hestia said today that the British min
ister is about to present a demand that
Oreeco guarantee not to oppose the al
lies in their Baukan campaign in any
circumstances. Thn allies want assur
anco that they will not be attacked or
interned in event reverses comjel them
to retreat through Greece.
Pressure on Greece admittedly is
growing very strong on all sides. The
nllioB want assurances that they can
continue their landings unmolested, and
the king is reported to have agreed
that this may continuo as at present.
Meantime, however, representatives of
the central allies are bringing pressure
tn bear to thwart the allied plans, in
view of the mennce that these landings
hold for the Teutonic enmpaign in Sc
bia. No Conscription Now.
London, Nov. 15.--No attempt to nr
ply conscription without parliament's
consent, Premier Asquith today told
tho lords, will be mndo by the govern
ment. He suggested that such a move
might cause misunderstandings.
