German Aviators
Drop Surplus Bombs
On Dutch Villages
London,- Sept. 26. Tho m'vsterious
bombing of Dutch villages by stray air
planes wns discovered today to throw
a new light upon tho Gorman idea of
the law of necessity.
Recently seVoral squadrons of Ger-
man planes have set out for bombing
expeditions over England. Upon reach
ing the const several have been turned
back by bad weather conditions. In
asmuch as tho German bombs arc
suspended under their machines, the
missiles of death must be dropped be
fore the aviators can alight or else the
plane and its occupants risk being
blown up.
Bather than take the chance of In
juring some of their German country
men, by dropping their cargo over Ger
man soil, the airmen circle over little
Holland and get rid of them where it
is only a question of killing a few more
neutrals.

The former president, who arrived

Market Was Sluggish
and Somewhat Freaky
New York, Sept. 26. The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Today 'a stock market was a dull af
fair of decidedly mixed tendencies. De
spito frequent sinking spells, there was
a firm undertone in both the industrial
and railroad departments. Stocks with
in tho same group moved in opposite di
rections. This was particularly true of
the Btcel, motor and sugar stocks. Quo
tations for the. most part ruled frac
tionally below the Tuesday closing lev
el, although there were numerous weak
spots and now and then a strong one.
notn central leather and Corn Pro
ducts Refining, which were in demand
yesterday at substantial advances, neu
tralized practically ail those gains to
day. Tho copper issues wero consist
entlv under pressure also the tobaccos.
Crucible Steel, Baldwin Locomotive,
PittBburg Coal and Westinghousc Elec
tric were iit the dumps. It would seem
that the market reflected peace uncer
tainties more than anything else.
Government to Take .
Hand In Mooney Case
San Francisco, Sept. 26. 4 4I 'm cer
tainly glad to hear that the govern
ment is going to look into this case. '
was the statement of District Attorney
ly. itt. ncaert today, on receipt of word
that President Wilson had asked At
torney General Gregory to investigate
the conviction of Thomas J. Mooney in
the preparedness bomb murder cases.
Fickcrt said he would welcome federal
investigation.
General opinion was that either a
special assistant attorney general or a
committee named by the attorney gen
eral will come to San Francisco and
review the reeord. Attorneys say the
only course the president would "have,
should he be convinced justice had mis
carried, would be an appeal to the governor.

With the exception of Portland, Salem
stands second in the Btate in enlisting

This afternoon Salem resembled the

in order that the people of the city

There are 57 good reason why boys
izo wrong, according to Will S. Hale, su
perintendent of tne uregon Btate xrain
ine school for boys. As part of the in
dustrial display of the school at the
state fair, ou placards are named the
57 reasons. Oi:e of them and one of the
main reasons is labeled "The Junk
Man." The desire to raise a little money
and knowing that ordinarily any old
stuff may be sold to the junk man and
no questions asked, is according to Jar.
Hale, one of the reasons why boys go
wrong. It is the ability to dispose oi
junk for ready money that starts tne
boy into the line of petty stealing.
As a strong moving picture attraction
Wm. S. Hart, easily stands at the head
with one or two others, along with Mae
Marsh. Last night at1 the .Liberty M.
Hart, playing in "The Cold Deck"
drew one of the biggest crowds of the
season. It seems that he can do tne
gun play act and also sit in a card
game in such a refined way that it i
just natural ior one to wish him good
luck. Anyhow, "The void Dock" ia one
of the best movies that has appeared
here for many a day. There are plenty
of thrills including an old time stage
robbery.
o
The man who is refused by the exem
ption board will have a pretty hard
tibe getting into the army, should he
feel the patriotic call. According to re
cent orders from the provost marshal
general 's office, no recruiting officer is
permitted to recruit a man who has
been exempted by the local exemption
board, nor after his name has been post
ed to appear for exemption before tin
board.

"Why We are Fighting," Every one

talk at the Liberty, R. A. Harris at
the Bligh and Rollin K. Page at the

Should any one happen to see the

Harrisbnrg, Pa., Sept- 26. Arraign
ing Prussianism in bitter terms, Otto
H. Kufhn of! the bantyng house of
Kuhn, Lcob and company, New York,
today before the chamber of commerce
here called on German-Americana to
fight for America against the power
arrayed against her. v
"I speak as one who has seen the
spirit of the Prussian governing class
at work from close by, having at its
disposal and using to the full practic
ally every agency for moulding the
public mind," he said.
"I have watched it proceed with re
lentless persistency and profound cun
ning to instill into the nation tne de
moniacal obsession of power worship
and world dominion, to modify and per
vert the mentality, indeed, the very
fibre and moral substance of the Ger
man people."
Speaking of the possibility of peace,
Katin said:
'God graHt that the German people
may before long work out tneir own
salvation and find the only road which
will give to the world an early peace,
and lead Germany back into the family
of nations from which it now is an
outcast.".
' We Americans of . foreign antece
dents," he continued, "are hero not
by the accidental right of birth, but by
our own free choice, for better or for
worse.
'Woe lo the German-American, so-
called, who in this sacred war for a
cause as high as any for which ever
people took up arms, does not feel a
solemn urge to rival and outdo his na
tive born fellow citizen in devotion of
the country.
"Americans of German descent are
now summoned to join in our country's
righteous struggle against a people cf
their own blood, which, under the evil
spell of a dreadful obsession, has made
an enemy of this peace loving nation. ' '

said the country faces a tea
and'eoffee famine "as the re
sult of the war."
For the past two months man
ufacturers have had difficulty
importing supplies. A scarcity
of transportation already has
caused a shortage - with pros
pects for a near famine.
The convention will advocate
sugarless and creamless cof

Hooverizing, defeating tne high
cost of living aud as a health
