ALLIES PREPARING
FOR SEA OFFENSIVE
DURING COMING YEAR
This Is Behaved to Be Reason
for British Campaign
In Belgium
Washington, Oct. 2. 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.

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.

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-

Hoffman. At Brussels he studied under
renowned Ysaye. Two years were
spent at Frankfort with Hugo Her

Bettman has been professor for five
ears at the King conservatory, San
Jose. Cal., for five years at the Uni

In Peace Proposals Passed

(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

Waconda, Oi., Oct. 2. 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

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. The writing on the wall should

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
