Washington, June ti. America may
have more potential soldiers than she
thought she bad.
Incomplete returns from the enrolling
of American fighting men yesterday
brought this thrill of response to head
quarters today. Against ten million-odd
men the census bureau estimated would
itspond to the call to register for se
lective service against Germany, indi
cations were that many states would ex
ceed their estimates.
Wisconsin was the first state to re
port complete unofficial returns to tho
provost maliehal general's office today
Governor Philipps telegraphed that all
counties and cities were complete at 4
a. m., with totals of 218,700. The esti
mated registration was 229,897.
With early estimated registration re
ports from all over the country show
ing a response to the war call far be
yond most optimistic expectations, gov
ernment heads began at once a nation
wide hunt for the "comparatively min
ute few" who slacked.
Unofficial estimates reaching here to

reeled by the war department in some
instances and close to the mark in eth

TAKE 9M0RE LIVES
Several of Them Sweep
Widely Separated Sections,
Much Damage Is Done
Kansas City, Mo., June 0. Torna
does, running wild over Kansas and
part of Missouri last night claimed a
toll of at least nine lives, according to
meagre reports coming in from the
stricken districts.
Near Richmond, Me., two women and
a baby are dead and three negroes are
expected to die from injuries.
Three more are reported dead at
C.'entralia, Mo.
The twisters were at their worst in
Kansas. They were not confined to nnv
certain district. One tornado started
near Eskridge in northeastern Kansas,
and cut a forty mile swath. One man
was killed at "r-lmont, Kan., ana. two
farmers, Sherman Archer and Alonso
Andrews, were killed five miles from
Topcka, the state capital, At Elmont
only one House, a. snack tnat might nave
cost $50, remained -standing."
Fatalities are reported at Pratt, 300
miles west of here, and at Clinton and
Lawrence, Kansas. .
RICHARDSON IS DEAD
Tom Bichardson, once secretary of
the Portland Commercial club, and prob
ably one of the best publicity men in
the entire united states, aicu at rort
land Sunday following an illness of
seven weeks. His death was due to a
nervous breakdown. Mr. Richardson had
visited in Salem on ninny occasions
prior to two years ago and was well
known to many of this city.
Resume of Salem9 s Vote on
Bonds and Prison Suburbs
Vote No Paved Parts Yes
The two big issues before the peopte
of Salem nt the election Tuesday was
good roads first, and then as to whether
the state should spend 1(400,000 for s
new penitentiary.
In voting on the penitentiary propo
sition, the average citizen seemed ro
think that he man who managed o get
in should take what is coming to him.
This opinion was most emphatic among
the Salem folks living out towards the
pen. For instance, precmci 3, which is
right isj the pen neighborhood, the
vote stood 85 against a new pen and
71 in favor. Precinct 5 which is also
in the same neighborhood was more
than two to one against a new pen,
the vote standing 40 yes and 98 no-
The advocates lor a new penitentiary
live in the old residential section of the
town, precinct 11, bounded by High,
Center, Twelfth and Ferry Btreets. Here
also live many of the state employes
and they voted 115 for a new pen and
77 against.
How Salem Voted on Good Eoads
The folks living in the center of the
town with plenty of automobiles stand
for good roads. Precinct 11, which in
cludes the state house and adjoining
streets, showed the biggest per centage
in favor of the bonds, with a vote of
yes, 139, no, 55.
Precinct 2, whieh is also in one of
the wealthy residence sections of the
city, bounded by Twelfth, Eighteenth,
Center and Ferry streets, also wanted
plenty of good roads for automobile
driving. This section of the city which
includes much of east Court and State
streets, said 135 yes for the bonds and
107 against.
- Precinct 10, of which the high school
is about the center, came out for the
bonds, with yes 92 and against, 56
. The folks living in that part of
South Salem preciuct 17, bounded by
High street -and the river, with Ferry
as the north line and Miller street on
the south, were good roads advocates
and came in with a vote in favor of
107 and against the bonds, 81.
But way down in South Salem, be
tween Miller street, High, the river and
the city limits, these folks were almost
equally divided on the two big propo
sitions. Against the bonds were 89 and
ia favor 88. And on the penitentiary
vote, they almost broke even as S3 were

Ill the clear sky air fighting was in

The Germans' nerves have been so

While the people living just on the
edge of town were against the good

the center of the city thought just the
other way. For instance, precinct B,
bounded by he Southern Pacific on the

been appointed a deputy district United
States marshal for s period of 10 days
for the purpose of receiving applications

ALLIES GIVE LOSSES
Claim They Are Above 214,
C00 and May Reach Total
of 314J0OO Men
By Henry Wood.
(United Pross staff correspondent.)
With the French Armies in the Field,
June 0. Germany has only 21 divisions
of troops on the western front approxi
mately 315,000 men which she has not
yet flung into the fighting line.
The 107 divisions (1,005,000 men)
with which the British and French of
fensives have been engaged in recent
weeks, have suffered losses averaging
between two and three thousand per di
vision or from 214,000 to 321,000 men-
These figures are those of Jtrcncn
headquarters. They give not only a clear
idea of the tremendous efforts which
Germany is making to stop the French
and British advance, but also the ter
rible toll which the allies have taken in
the fighting.
The French estimates are tnat Ger
many has a total of 150 divisions of all
kinds of troops now on the western
front. (This would be about 2,340,000
men). Of these 156, only 128 are di
visions of real fighting men, the others
being auxiliary corps. One hundred and
seven of these 126 fighting corps have
been identified as opposed to the Aisnc
and Champagne fronts. Early in May
the Germans gave indications of no oth
er plan of campaign than to resist and
counter attack desperately while fev
erishly constructing at the rear a suc
cessive series of retreat lines similar to
the boasted "Hindenburg line."

ALLIES ARE USING
EVERY EFFORT TO
HRUSSIASTAY
Statements Made by Afl, To
Convince Her War Aims
Are Just
JAPAN THREATENS WAR
IF SHE DESERTS ALLIES
Russia Can Aid Little Now
Oflly by Keening Germany
On Guard
Washington, June 0. America and
her allies aro trying to convince Russia
that their, war aims are just.
Statements cither already , made by
Japan, the United States, France and
England or ready to go to Petrograd,
will 'clear the war atmosphere and if
the effect is as anticipated, will swerve
Russia from any trend toward peace.
All the allies will tell Russia that
they are in the war to the last trench.
They will point out that they are
trying to make the world safe from
further Prussian absolutism.
They will disclaim any desire for
pnitive indemnities or conquest.
This latter, it is felt, should have a
tremendous effect in Russia, where "no
annexations, no punitive indemnities"
has become a byword.
France is on record as asking only
that Germany "return" Alsace-Lorraine,
pay juBt demands for devasta
tions and conquest of territory overrun
by the Teuton in his mad aim for world
empire in the east. All the statements
will seek to hearten Russia, to fan the
,last smouldering embers and to restore
in mat uimev nation a uinrit ui vu-
operation with a world .bent on wreck
ing Prussian autocracy.
Can Aid ia One Way.
Russia at ticst can give little mili
tary assistance immediately, iiut if ne
heeds the separate peace propaganda
of Germany and of her own folk' the
psychological and military effect will be
a blow to the aliies.
With - Russia out, Germany could
shunt her legions to the west front, un
hampered by any thoughts of her east
ern theatre. The allies would avoid
this- '
They would have Bussia stand with
them as best she may and furnish a new
war strength with their aid and co-operation,
provided the war continues long
enough.
America's message will be made pub
lic before long, though the state depart
ment today was still waiting for word
from Petrograd about releasing it.
Suggestion was made today that Ja
pan is virtually holding out the threat
of aggressive action against Russia if
tho latter makes a separate peace.
The state department said, however,
that there had been no negotiations in
volving this country looking toward
clubbing Russia if she falters now. It
is doubtful if England and tho other
allies would enter into such action.
French Socialists Firm.
Taris, June 6. The French press to
day hailed the chamber of deputies'
overwhelming vote, firmly re-stating the
republic's war aims, as clear evidence
that the nation nas eiinunaieu puuuus
from the war; that all her people are
united in the fixed, unswerving deter
mination to go through to the end.
"The collaboration of all parties
makes victory assured," declared the
Esirho lie Paris. "Socialistic agitation
at Stockholm can have no effect. The
government alone is empowered to treat
with national problems."
"The vote is a grand comfort to us
and a cruel blow to the enemy," de
clared Le Matin. "It is the voice of
France and wc trust that will convince
our friends in Petrograd. The cham
ber spoke in a renewed voice of sym
pathy with them, indicating the great
struggle of peoples should not be turned
into a criminal, sterile struggle of
"Parliament is unanimous on all
questions concerning peace and war,"
declared Senator Bernager, in LeMidi.
"The hour of discipline has sounded;
we await from a responsive government
all necessarv acts for conduct of the
war in the future via Strassburg not
via Stockholm."

and Bussia in particular may know ex

The liberal press was strongly urging
such an outline today and authoritative
information was that it had been decid
ed npon by the government.
While Premier Ribot of France clear
ly announced that republic's war aims,
President Wilson has forwarded a form

France Trasnng Men to
Fight Beside Americans
By Henry Wood
(United Press staff correspondent)
With the French Armies. June 6.
France has begun training the class of
1918 consisting of the youngest recruits
by whose aide America's army will be
fighting next fall, should the war last
that long.
The new French class will be younger
than the men of the American armv.
They will be but 19, while the young
est Americans will be 21.
All France hopes that American in
tervention will render it unnecessary to
ever again call out one of the French
classes before -the usual military age.
The class of 1918 which is now at the
instruction camps is probably one of
the finest . France has produced. It is
bein? especially instructed in bayonet
fighting and hand grenading. .
SIX ARRESTS HADE
IN KIDNAPING CASE
Two of Those Arrested Said
to Have Confessed Impli
cating Others '
Springfield, Mr., Juno 6. Off icials
believe they are near the solution of
tho mysterious Keet kidnaping case.
Six arrests have been made and more
are expected before night. -
Thus far little 14 months old Lloyd
Keet, son of Ji Holland Keet, wealthy
Springfield banker, has not been recov
ered. However, it is believed that he
will be returned to his parents as soon
as the police run down important clews
they uncovered today.
Those arrested are Taylor Adams and
his wife, Allie Adams: their two sons.
Claytus Adams, age 20, and Maxie Ad
ams, age 15. C. J. Piersol and Ham Mc
Giunis. McGinuis was arrested early
today; tho others late last night. TBo
iormer denied any connection with al
leged plots. He was arrested because of
statements made by the others yestcr-
.No direct connection between the al
leged activities of the six and the dis
appearance of the Keet. baby has been
estaousnea. ., v
Confessions are said to have been
made by two of the six. Others, not
yet arrested, aro implicated by these.
Taylor Adams, taken at Kansas City
Monday, was the only person not ar
rested here. One of his Bons is said to
have been employed at a downtown
store from which mysterious lights
flashed days ago and caused a wide
spread belief that it was a signal to
the abductors of the Keet baby. The
exact connection has not yet been es
tablished.
Plans to abduct a St. Louis manu
facturer of munitions were confessed
to by Piersol. Other confessions include
the abduction of . A. Clement, a jew
eler, whom they expected to hold for
ransom.
The suspects, against whom no for
mal chargo yet has been made, denied
such a confession today, despite the
continued assertions of officers that
they had mado such statements.
One of tho confessions was that the
band planned to hide Clement, after
abducting him, in an old house on the
Campbell road eight miles southwest of
Springfield. Officers searched the place.
A baby crib showed signs of recent oc
cupancy, but' no one was found near the
house.
Illinois May Abolish
Prison Honor System
Joliet, 111., June 8. The honor sys
tem at Joliet slate prison will be abol
ished, it was believed today as a result
of yesterday's rioting, which resulted
in the death of one convSet, injury of
a score of others and serious injury
of two guards.
A. L. Bowen, acting warden, de
clared today the mutiny was due to the
prisoners receiving too much liberty.
When they overstepped their privil
edges, he said, and an attempt was
mado to curb them, they rebelled.
Bowen charged that women, posing
as welfare workers, had been visiting
the prison freely and writing improper
letters to the inmates, An order pro
hibiting any visitors except relatives
precipitated the trouble.
The destruction of property, result
ing from five fires set by the convicts,
was placed at $20,000-

Portland voted down three charters
which proposed, to- change the present
commission government, passed the anti
picketing ordinance by a very close mar
gin, voted grain elevator bonds, en
acted one measure which required a
bond from jitneys and killed another
which would have given them free use
of the streets.
Present returns show that Oregon

a majority of over 20,000.

Three other Mearures rags
The following measures apparently
havo passed: Empowering ports to levy
bonds to develop water transportation,
providing uniform tax classificationa

Marion county, the home of the peni
tentiary, voted against the new prison,
