CLASH WITH SUBMARINES
CONSIDERED CERTAIN
Tills Unless Germany Recedes
From Her Avowed
s Determination
By Robert J. Bender.
(Tinted Press staff correspondent.)
Washington, Mar. 10. Americnu arm.
ed merchantmen will be empowered to
lire upon Teutonic submarines upon
night. The state department made this
jilain today in declaring that neutral
ships can presume that there will bo uo
visit and senrch by Herman submarines,
jnr.smuch as Germany has served notice
tin the world that she would disregard
that mandate oi international law.
That statement means that when the
American ships venture forth they will
take no chance with tho German ves
sels. Sight of a German submarine will be
sufficient to justify American gunners
in turning loose tho power of their
JUUS.
This interpretation, given officially,
Vrought the possibility of law extremely
has declared she ha spoken
her last ivorl that she will go ahead
with her submarine warfare. If that
is true and the government has no of
Yieial reason to doubt it it is taken
officially to indicate sooner or later a
rlash between a submarine and an Am
erican armed merchant ship is inev
itable. Would Lose Immunity, .
By firing first, American merchant
sliipj will lose immunity from attack
by the submarines according to the view
of an international lawyer here. This
means that the bars are down, he said
and that real fighting may bcanticipat
ed, unless Germany changes her avow
ed views and shows leniency toward
American ships.
The navy department today screwed
now the censorship lid on the
question of armament. While anticipat
ing thut newspapers, press services and
cable offices will heed its request to
withhold armament and sailing news, it
took the added precaution of secrecy
from within.
The navy department reqnest is that
jicwa of Ameiican ship sailings or ar
rivals, insofar ns the trans-Atlantic area
is concerned, shall be withheld.
Warned by Germany that she has
spoken with finality as to her submarine
intents, the government today looked
out upon the prospect of actual war,
following the order to arm American
merchantmen.
Some officials fear Germany will be
as ruthless toward armed American
whips as she has been toward enemy
merchantmen.
Some Still Have Hope.
Another group of authorities, how
ever, held to the belief that Germany
will be more considerate of American
shipping exercising the international
law mandate of visit and search before
torpedoing. The government, meantime,
is replying upon Pan-American co-operation
to aid in stamping out German in
trigues in the western hemisphere, shat
tering war schemes that would involve,
the United States near home.
It is understood on highest author
ity that this government, in connection

Germany Pays Tribute to
Count Von Zeppelin Who
Was Buried
B John Grandens.
(United Press staff correspondent.)
(By wireless, to the I'nited States.)
Berlin, Mnr. 10. Germany's tribute
to Count Von Zeppelin, laid to rest to
day, could not be better expressed than
in the eulogy of his name nud achieve
ments in Berlin's newspapers. Through
it nil ran the note of regret that the
great inventor, although he lived to see'
the war triumphs of his inventive geu-j
ius, could not hnvo a little longer toi
have witnessed the same triumphs in
peace time.
"Who does not remember the summer
of 10UW, when a Zeppelin appeared over
several German towns for the first
time," asked the Berlinger Tagcblaft
today, drawing a parallel between Mont
golfior, the French balloonist, and Count
Von Zeppelin. "When Moutgolfier flew
from Murshfield to Paris, philosophers
pictured eternal peace through this
means of communication. Then came the
revolutions, the Napoleonic wars. Eu
rope swam in blood.
"When Zeppelin first flew over the
land, we had the optimistic feeling in
the empire's eternal peace. Like Zep
nelin we evnecteil his nirskirt to tvlide in
peaceful triumphs. I

Salem, Oregon, whose proud boast
was that its military company was the

chance of losing the company and of
having no military organization what
ever. If a community cannot maintain a
company numbering at least tio with nn
average roll call of 40 reporting for
drills, that community will have its
ooinpnny taken away. This opinion was
expressed this morning by a man con
versant with military affairs and who
was of the opinion that the military
fSpirit and patriotism was nt a pretty
low ebb in the capital city ot the state,
j Since, 1903, Salem has had one of the
finest military companies in the west,
with an armory that cost close to $40,
000, maintained by the state- Captain
Burtt, of the U. S. army, during his
inspection visit here in January, said
thut Company M had one of the best
equipments in the west with nil the con
veniencies found in any armory.
Just nt present Company M enrolls
41 from the vicinity of Salem and has
10 assigned it from other localities. To
maintain the organization, at Teast 05
members are needed. Efforts will be
made to enlist enough men to bring the
company to the required strength. Those
interested in maintaining the company
feel there is not a friendly spirit by
the average citizen toward the urganiza
tini and, for this reason, young men
will not join.
Besides the opposition of their pnr

excuse that when the country is threat

According to the law passed last sum

pay when the company is organized to
normal strength, the privates receiving
$:i.75 per month. With the company at
strength of 05, each year the govern

At present, no one is receiving pay as

peace conies. He will never be forgot-1
ten. The fntherland loves him as he
loved tho fatherland."
41 Last, but not least, Count Zeppelin
always had before his eyes the defeat
the England's sea rule" declared the
Vossische Zeitung. "What Zeppelin
expected in case of war was realized,
but he did not live to see the ultimate
victory."
"For all who knew Zeppelin it is a
tragedy that he had to die before the
war was fought to a decisive finish,"
asserted the Deutsche Tages Zeitung.
"At the beginning of the war he was
convinced it vas a fight for Germany's
existence, and therefore he wanted to
use all weapons regardless of all dreams
of a future misunderstanding."
The socinlist newspaper Vorwaerts
saw this lesson in the count's death.
"We are aware of the contradiction
in our generation, which gives the
proudest praise to technical skill and
also falls back into barbarism."
President's Action
Gives Stocks a Boost
New York, Mar. 10 Th New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
There was an aspect of animation and
buying initiative in today's short ses
sion of the stock market, which is rare
in Saturday trading. The . impulse
sprang from President Wilson's decision
to call an extra session of congress and
his doterminntion to arm American mer
chantmen. Business was quite spirited
at times and price changes with few
exceptions were on the upward side. The
steel, copper and shipping shares were
in most active demand and advances
ranged from 1 to 2 and .'1 points, tho
railroad list was both neglected and
narrow.
Sentiment throughout securities and
financial circles is decidedly cheerful
since the publication of the federal re
serve board 's statement concerning in
vestments in foreign loans.
Following the rush to cover in the
early part o' the first hour a movement
doubtless induced by a desire to even
up accounts over the week-end in antici
pation of bullish developments next
week, trading subsided and the general
list was less forward.
Despite the especially vigorous de
mand for United States steel, the steel
and copper shares in general in the later
trading rated fractionally below the top
level of the day. The commodities mar
kets were strong.
American Republics

Washington, March 10. Tho United

German propaganda and spy activity
throughout the Americas, according to

publics themselves, it was said, to a
realization thut 'vigorous steps must

LABOR WILL BE READY
Leaders Plan Organization
Making Labor Available
at Once
Washington, March 10. Labor dis
putes that rent England and France a
year ago will not be repeated in this
country should the United States be
plunged into war.
This was made plain today as the
executivo council of the American
Federation of Labor went into session
to lay the foundations for a "vast in
dustrial amy that will keep the na
tion's armed forces supplied.
Creation of "cood - will" between
labor and government is the first step
tne council, headed by President Gom
pers, of the American Federation, in
tends to take as a preventive measure
against internal troubles should wai
come.
Today's meeting is preliminary to a
general conference here Monday of the
officers of every national and inter
national labor union . in the United
States. The eleven niemBers of the
council will adopt a working basis for
the labor heads Monday and submit
their plans to this conference for rati
fication or whatever change is deemed
necessary to put labor and the govern
ment in accord on their respective
parts during armed conflict.
The plans will provide a set order
whereby the industrial forces of the
nation can be mobilized for the coun
try's defense on almost a moment's no
tice. These men will form tho reserve
upon which the army and navy must
reply principally for their munitions
and supplies.
"Suspicion and ' disputes between
government aid labor held England
and France back more than a year,"
said one official. "It will not be that
way in America. When this conference
is over labor will know what is ex
pected of it and labor will be ready
for the call."

that- tho Argentine government would
be inclined to make "hot answer" if
the United States "offer advice" re
garding German plotting.
ran-Amencan unity is not visible
from this viewpoint of South America.
Several republics are distinctly pro-
German.
Home are pro-ally. Most of them are
not pro-United States.
With the exception, possibly, of Bra
zil and Bolivia, Argentine's position
on tho general question of American
matters is held by officials here to
represent , substantially the attitude f
the other .Latin-American republics
And Argentine, it will be recalled, was
the republic which most unceremoni
ously rebuffed President Wilson when
ho asked world neutrals to follow the
example of the United States in break
ing relations with Germany.
Argentina Against union
Argentine "regretted such extreme
measures" in her note, which wa
drafted by Dr.'DieKo Moliuari. Jte wa
likewise tho author of the further mes
sage to the United States annotmenijr
that Argentine's mind was made np
and implying that it would not be
changed by North American pressure,
which was inclosed with tho formal
note. President Irigoyen personally re
vised both communications.
North Americans here believe Dr.
Moliuari to be anti-United States
mainly because he was secretary of
the pro-Mexican committee hero oppos
ing American intervention in Mexico.
But the fact is, Lrr. Moliuari 'a views
may be taken as typically Latin-American.
He believes tho United States,
perhaps unconsciously, seeks to nse
Latin-America to her own advantage.
Brazil and Bolivia are considered
exceptions to the general l.atin-Amen-can
view. .
Brazil is believed to be looking for
an excuse to seize German merchant
ships in her harbors.
Bolivia WlWi U. S.
Bolivia has declared' her "solidari
ty" with the United States. But she i
thought to be "under the thumb" of
North America. She is credited with
aspiring for an outlet, upon the Pacifie
ocean and the tributaries of the River
Plata. Bolivia just now has no such
'outlet. Tho guess is ventured in Buenos
Aires that President Wilson's declara
tion in his peace speech favoring
ocean outlets for all nations had some
thing to do with Bolivia's announce
ment of "solidarity" with tho United
States.
The question whether the United
Slates is going to support Bolivia in
her ambition for an outlet is of acuta
interest to Peru, Argentine and Chile.
These nut ions cut Bolivia off from the
Pacific and the River Plata.
Brazil has always been pro-Nerth
American. She has always, however,
been pro-German, too, except for a few
recent expressions attributed td the
influence of Ruy Barbosn, liberal par
ty leader and the William Jennings
Bryan of South Aineriia except that
he is no pacifist.
