Representative Beau appeared before the court in person and by Charles McNary, Lis attorney. The attorney general was present in person, and argued his case.

Historic Peronne is now a heap of rubbish. A deliberate systematic, unreasoning policy of destruction was tlieroiiEhlv I carried out before the Germans aband oned it. The sixteenth century church, once pride of the town, is in ruins. National I monuments were destroved wantoiilv. Moreover, such destruction was not the I work of British or French shells for their target was only the German barracks- It was purely the work of the Germans, mostly dynamite.

DEFENSE COUNCIL (Continued from page one.) er wars. Meantime, other government branch es started at once to work on plans that have been formulated by tho .National! Defense Council on other lines. 1 Rush Work for Navy. The first ii.staUnient of bids for the 200 or more submarine chaserg for the navy were opened at the department at noon. Nearly 100 additional boat bnilding concerns were requested to in form the government of fheir capacity for turning out the chaser boats. Keels for 60 are now being laid at the New York navy yard and fo'r four at the New Orleans yards. Munitions firms which centime, to hold out for exorbitant prices are ex pected to be summarily commandeered by the government. Naval architects were directed today to rush to completion plans- for the three new 42,000 ton super-dread-naughts, K destroyers and 38 800-ton is probable the next move of the department will be to assume control over all radio apparatus in the country .to prevent information of tho govern fluent's defense measures from going abroad. , Get Finances Ready. The general staff pithc army has in Its hands detailed plans for a complete and immediate co-ordination of all tele graph and telephone systems. . Instan taneous communication with distant points will be established i'rom army and navy headquarters to expedite an anticipated mobilization of the nation al guard, naval militia and the At lantic fleet. The matter of 'financing the expected call to arms is under way at the treas ury department. The first step will be the issuance of 100,000,000 in bonds authorized in the last naval bill to meet a national emergency. Congress is. expected to empower is suance at once of another gigantic bond issue. While-"the navy department has ade quate funds to cover present naval plans, an emergency appropriation of $115,000,000 to cover speed up meas ures on the new warships and addition al submariuo chasers, shoiid congress direct a more extensive preparation, the department Hps aid it will ask and get more money. Universal Sendee. Senator Chamberlain conferred .with Secretary of War Baker today relative to his plan for universal service. Doubt exists among military men that the intricate machinery for put ting universal service into practice could be placed in motion under two years. This would, of "course, require pdop tion of the volunteer system at least temporarily, in the present crisis, should troops be needed. Before the universal system could be- established, military men saj', the elig ible male population ' would first have to be listed, under methods similar to taking of the national census, and it has been auggested some skeleton form of universal service might be rushed into operation. Military men fear a call for the mili. tia or for volunteers at this time would upell the death of universal service for many years to come. It would, in sub stance, be further endorsement of the traditional volunteer system and consti tute a national expression of confi dence in it at a time of-, peril, they sav.

UNDERTOOK 10 JUMP THE CJTrS LANDING Skinner & Bushnell Started to Plant Anchor In Ferry Approach The night was cold and dark ojid' dreary and the rain fell and the winds were never weary. This is not the opening of the first chapter - of a dramatic novel entitled "The Crossing of the Ferry," but just a preliminary remark to what happen ed last evening in connection with the dispute and difference between, Skin ner & Bushnell, who would like to run a ferry and tho county of Marion and the city of Salem, endeavoring to ar range for a free ferry. Having refused an offer to buy their ferry and not making terms satisfac tory to the city and county for the op eration of a free ferry) Skinner & Bush nell, attempted at 9:30 o'clock last night to dig a largo holo in the eenter of the landing prepared by the county between Court and Chemekcta streets, whereby they could anchor a cable by which to operate a ferry regardless of the' wishes of the authorities on this side. Watchman Was There. Beginning with about $1:30 Inst eveu ing th story runs along as follows: An ticipating that some such move might be made in the darkness the city and county had placed a watchman at the lauding place on this side. At 9:30 o'clock last evening the watchman no ticed several men digging a hole in the center of the landing place. Haid watch man approached Mr. Bushnell and his men and suggested they weren't doing exactly right- He was informed that it would take more tjiau one man to make them quit. . The watchman then got in quick com munication with the city and county officials and within a short time there appeared on the scene Dan J. Fry and Fred Steusloff of the special commit tee appointed by President Albert Of the Commercial club; Judge Bushey of tho Marion county court; James Culver, county road supervisor; Walter L. Spaulding, representing the Spaulding interests, and J. A. Folnud, of the night rjolice force. Told What Would Be Done. Mr. Bushnell was informed Wat ho was digging without either tho permis sion of the city authorities, which is contrary to ordinance and that he had no permit from Mr. Spaulding. "What will you do about it if we don't quitj" asked Mr. Hliinner. He Was quickly informed that hp would be arrested and thrown in jail. Then Mr. Skinner came from the other side and after a conference about midnight, they picked up their tools and left for tho west side of the river. The city and county officials held council. and decided to fill in the hole, and station a policeman at the landing to notify them if any further efforts wore ninile fo secure a cable landing. Would Stop Tree Ferry. The Spaulding Logging company owns the land along tho river bank and it hag granted a franchise free to the city and council for the purpose of op eration of a ferry for benefit of the public. The life of tho franchise is during thstimo until a new bridge shall have been constructed. As it now stands, no one can place a cable support or land on this side of the river withoyt the permission of the .Spaulding Logging company or the city, as'Water street adjoins the Spaulding holdings. As the ferry is to ho operated free, the general opinion is that it can cross the river and land its passengers on the property on the west side owned oy Joseph H. Albert and cross to the high way over land owned by Pinskney Bribers. .- The Counfy and city officials now are desiroug of operating a free ferry. Skin ner & Bushnell offer their ferry for I0 a day rent whieh is regarded as too hiah a price. An offer was made to Skinner & Bushnell to bny their ferry at a profit of 25 per cent. This they refused and the result was that last . JEbii- if cDEiLL, Is being demonstrated at our store. Jiffy Jdl u a new product. ' Distinctly in a class by itself. All natural fruit flavors.
