In point of gun- fire, the latest raid was the biggest London has ever seen. Time and again German planes sought to pierce what was literally a wall of shrapnel and ex- plosive bullets thrown up into moonlit skies around London.

The sllies, with .America's aid, are likely next year to xalie the offensive on the seas. The deduction is drawn in expert quarters here today as the result of recent allied military operations. With England striking at the rail arteries leading to Germany's Ostend and Zee brugge bases, such an offensive, it is leit, could bo used in telling fashion lacer. ' Much will depend, however, upon the successes England meets in her. t'hemin road operations. While she has warded off counter attacks so far, it is a ques tion in many military minds whether she will be able to accomplish before winter the eutting of the rail arteries. Even if she does cut these lines, Ger many still can feed the nests from which her submarines enanato. But, if England can accomplish a fierce blow at ' the communication )ines she has done much to cripple the effectiveness of Germany's . U-boat game. Then, with the backing of pow erful ships, she may move in on a strangling process and stamp out the home of the ocean pests, though she must still maintain a mighty land force to back the sea operations. Advocates of a stronger naval poli cy are stilt active in their urgings and feel that the way things shape up on the northern end of the western front row is argument for their proposals. 234 FEATURE OF E Injured In Greatest Raid Ove German Machines Wounded Destroyed 70 16 82 42 39 a number of Gorman settlements in re tauation for the recent dropping of German bombs over Dunkirk.

WILLAMETTE OPENS ATTENDANCE FULLY ATNORMAL Upper Classes Depleted by War,cutrreshmenAre Numerous Willamette University opened today with an enrollment equal to any pre vious year as tar as tne ranks of the freshmen are concerned. The upper classes have lost the major portion of their men, but an increased number of students in the other de partments will balance the number with last years. There arc twenty five seniors at present; thirty five juniors, forty two sophomores and ninety five freshmen. The large number in the latter class attributed to the wide advertising given the university by the Glee club's loUO mile trip, and the efficient ser vice of President Doney and Dr. Rich ards, tke secretary of education. Their messages joined with those of other great educators have placed special em phasis on the country's need of highly trained men.

New Violin Instructor The instruction in violin is this year n the hands of Prof. Henry L. Bittman of Portland. He spent five years as a student in the Lcipsic conservatory, tudying one year with Henry Si hrad- ecK and tt. Hermann. The eminent iolinist, Henri Petri, was his instruc tor for four 3'ears, as was also Richard Hoffman. At Brussels he studied under renowned Ysaye. Two years were spent at Frankfort with Hugo Her mann. Since returning to America, Prof. Bettman has been professor for five ears at the King conservatory, San Jose.

NOW APPEALING TO BELLIGERENT PEOPLES Hope of Interesting Leaders In Peace Proposals Passed for Present (By John H. Hearley) (United Press Staff Correspondent) Rome, Oct. 2. Pope Benedict is ap parently seeking support of his peace plans from the people of belligerent na tions, since his appeal to the rulers has so far been ineffective. Direct approval by tho holy father of certain socialistic aims was attributed to him in two separate statements today. The greatest significance was attrib uted to an editorial in the Observatorc Romano, a newspaper frequently regard ed as the Vatican's official organ, and which it was believed was approved by the pope. The editorial declared the holy see "was in agreement with the socialists nf Italy and e sewhere insofar as tney were seeking to'safeguard democratic liberty and protect constitutional rights by lpBal means. Those who professed to see the pope taking the radical step of sympathizing with socialistic ideals read the Obser vatore Romano's comment in connection (Continued on Page Two.)

''We will do absolutely nothing to wards investigating these petitions," said one member of the committoo to day. "We will leave the petitions and the matters they cover with tho con sciences of the men they name." At the same time, La Follette and other senators were being deluged with messages, some of them threaten ing. La Follette has been getting scores of letters demanding he resign and a few threatening to remove him hy vio lence. He also has received a larga number encouraging him to oppose war legislation. i BAB7 ENCORED TRAGEDY. San Francisco, Oct. 2. While his two-yearlold baby sat on the floor and watched the tragedy, Edgar Guard, aged 38, shot and killed his wife today and then shot himself twice and will die. Guard had been out of work and his neighbors said his wife accused him of not providing properly for his family. The cou ple quarreled and Guard drew a revolver and fired. When neigh bors reached te Guard homo .they found the baby gleefully shouting over the noice the re- volver had made. Third Section American National Army Is Called Washington, Oct. 2. The third sec tion of America's first national army will start for cantonments tomorrow. More than 250,000 will be included in this call, ranging from 30 to 40 per cent. In part of the middle west, however, the quotas on this call have had to be reduced for diffeea nen st Provost Marshal General Crowdcr has urged all governors to speed movements as much as possible. The matter of supplying troops with essential equipment is progressing sat isfactorily. There is one hope left, and only one Captain Koenig of the Deutschland.

I will report the recent fire at Waconda, on the W. Al Jones farm, where Frank ' Mn.tthes iiachine was threshing, six stacks, of Will Ahlgrens grain. The fire caught from the enjjiue and broke out on top of 'a stack. The threshing crew had made quick use of water in the water tank and en gine, without controlling it, when the telcpone and automobiles landed the neighborhood on tho scene. Ten auto loads of water carried in the milk cans from Russels and Thurman's dairiesy and the swift action of 25 men, and the r.iany women who pumped the water from Ahlgren's well after Russel'a windmill tank was emptied, saved most of the crop. Bundles were jerked from the'stack and thrown to the workers below, who wit forks, dipped them on water. In the excitement all had forgotten the ongEO until Mrs. Matthes appeared on tno sveno repor:ing that the water wen out of the glutt in the engine, thereby rrcventing a possible explosion. It wai wonderful how so much could be uc-vaiiiH'-hed in a hhort time, with the uMMnqec 'if it'idun inventions, name ly milk cans, y lrrtmills, automobiles aul the ttlt'i hduo.

GERMAN DIVERS A RE OPERA TING TO SINK AMERICAN SHIPPING (By J. W. T. Mason) (Written for the United Press) New , York, Oct. 2. Germany 's sub marine menace is now being concentrat ed against American military supply ships. A Germun submarine base has probably been established off the French coast in the American transport line. There is no renl decreuse in total ally submarine sinkings. America can only fulfill ler gigantic army require ments in France by depending on her own shipping and making the issue with Germany personal. This is the interpretation of the sub marine situation today as expressed in I an exclusive interview with the United Press by Lord Northcliffe, head of the British war mission and the most con-. structive war critic any belligerent na tion has produced. . I "The most urgent news that has! crossed the Atlantic since I arrived in this country at the beginning of June," Lord Northcliffe said, is the official statement of Sir Joseph Maclay, the British controller of shipping, io the effect that 'unless the United States faces the shipping problem and con structs millions of tons of shipping an nually the military efforts of the Unit ed States will be crippled from the start.' "This is the solemn warning of Sir Joseph himself. It has passed the cen sor and is the first real note of alarm of the seriousness of the submarine sinkings. Set aside all German boast ings; put away from you the idea that Great Britain, who is increasing her own food production, can be starved out.

IN INDICTMEN TS Haywood and Little Ring Leaders of Most Disreptn able of Movements FIFTEEN THOUSAND . OFFENSES ARE ALLEGED Traitor Gang Chicago, Oct. 2. A nation-wide plot to paralyze industries, thwart military operations, obstruct conscription and cause America to lose the War is divulg ed in the evidence upon which one hun dred and sixty six members of the I. W. W. were indicted in Chicago. William D. Haywood, of Chicago, in ternational SitcrptArv nnA 1h..iiv. Frank Little, who was lynched in Butte, Mont., are alleged to have been the ringleaders. Others frequently mention ed in tho indictments are Ralph H. Chaplin, Richard Brazier, William Wire tola, James Rowan, Francis Miller and James L. Lambert. ' About half tho indicted men are un der arrest, lederal officials stated to day, Search for the others is being -carried on in all parts of the country. The indictment, wnlch covers forty printed pages, alleges fifteen thousand offenses under ten specific charges. Some of the most startling plans of tho I. W. W. are contained in a book which Haywood sent to Duluth to ,b translated into Finnish for the benefit of agitators. "We are going to take over the in dustries some day for three very good reasons because we need them; because we want them and because we have the power to get them," it was declared. "Whether we are ethically justified or not is not our concern. "Is a strike contemplated by the must indispensable workers those of the alimentary trades? A quart of kero sene or other greasy and malodorous matter poured or smeared on the level of an over " and welcome the scabs or scabby soldiers to come and bake tho braad. "Is a strike coming in the iron, stent, copper or other mineral industry! A lit tle sand or enemy powder in the gear of those machines . and they will become useless." As a means of paralyzing the rail roads, the Haywood book suggests that it would be well to choose those workers among the most skilled and experienced . who would by a single Btroke disable and render useless for several days the materials necessary for the regular performance of the service and the movement of trains." In a letter Rowan wrote Haywood (Continued on page three) arotiso every thinking American to the greatest problem the world has ever faced tho transport across 3,000 miles of water of the ne. American army, which already amount to more than a milloin of m.m; its cannons, shells, lo comotives, i ail way track, munition plants, aeroplanes, observation balloons, hospitals, ambulance convoys, doctors, nurses, machine guns, butchers, bakers, shoemakers, men of every trade, rail road engineers, interpreters, organizers and distributors of stores, clothing, hor ses, mules, todder, bookkeepers, com plete telephone and telegraph equip ments, with operators running into thou sands.

I do not profess to have any of the technical knowledge of shipping of the hard headed Scotsman who was chosen by Premier Lioyd George for a task that is much more difficult than even that of food controller the con trol of a shipping that is being sunk more rapidly than it is being construct ed, and that, mark you, at a time when the demand tor shipping, owing to the transport needs of tho United States army is increasing daily.
