PRISON Walter Peters Believed to Have Been On German Mission to Mexico San Froi.cisco, April 13. A sugges "tion o' th( goose step in the stride of Walter Titers aroused the suspicion of neighbor in Crockett, with the result that Peters today is in jail. The United States murshal says Peters is one of the "best" German Bpies in the buai mess. Peters admits that he was on the Oerman cruiser Leipzfig when British warships sunk her -off the Falkland Islands. He reached a South American Iort, and from, there reported to a 4erman consul in a Mexican west eoost eity. ' From Mexico -he came to Cali fornia, registered for the draft as a Ianisn subject, and took out his first citizenship papers. Valuable information was seized in Peters' room after his arrest, accord ing to Slit. riff Veale of Contra Costa county. Carefully hidden copies of re ports to tie German consul in Mexico. Teports on shipping and shipbuilding, diagrams of the harbors and defenses of Puget Sound and San Francisco and a diary of the activities .-of the Leip zig were among the documents found. This diary detailed the 'Sinking of the Leipzig .if 26 merchant vessels. If - - ' f I r BY LINDA A.

Appreciates Newspapers. Prefacing his remarks with an appre ciation of North American journalistic effort to develop the acquaintance be tween the United States and Argentina, efforts in which the United Press is the pioneer, and voicing his pleasure that the Argentines are recognizing, tiiidily, perhaps, the tremendous impor tance of such an acquaintance, he dis cussed for nearly an hour the interna tional complications which have focus ed the attention of tho world on Argen tina. His talk was devoid of mincing of words, of hair-splitting and fine shades of meaning. On the contrary, he spoke with the directness and conviction of a statesman sure of himself and of the defensibility of his position and palp ably made no attempt to "carry water on both shoulders." Why He Stood Pat. When interrogated regarding Argen tina's not breaking with Germany in the face of great popular demands for a declaration of war after Germany had affronted the republic, ho said: "The position of a neutral is very difficult. It is not always understood by belligerents, as the United States will appreciate. "The misunderstanding of Argen tina's position ia quite evident to us, but it would not be well for the world to prejudge Argentina's future course, in the event of further German af fronts, except upon a full understanding of her past course and her present po Hitirn.

DEMILLE'S BIG PRODUCTION "THE WHISPERING mauy,, Argentina, acting in accordance with international procedure, demand ed an apology and reparation. When both were granted, Argentina, under the law, was unable to proceed fur ther, regardless of individual opinions and rational sentiments. When Germany made reparation upon our demands, our course was dictated as certainly as was that of the United States throughout the period of her long neutrality. "I is no time now to. ilhgcusg our courso in the .event of future affronts, but there is no "justification for doubt ing us meanwhile. " Position Similar to TJ. S. When esked if he considered that Ar gentina's position parallels that of the United Ktatts titer the Sussex sink ing, he replied in the affirmative, ad ding: "Aa the United States was stopped from action against Germany while Ger many 's pledge regarding use of submar ines had not been violated, so Argentina is stopped now. "Although herself rushed with war preparations, the United States certain ly does not mistake and Is not blind to Argentina 'h sympathy and warm feel ing, which we have expressed on every occasion since .the United states enter ed the war. I am certain that Americans eonerally recognize that, by inviting he American fleet to visit Buenos Aires and iu many other ways where our bond of sympathy dictated that we give proof of the genuineness and depth of our friendship for America, Argentina has never hesitated. We have cheerfully placed ourselves on -record, at times under conditions which risked bringing up'on ourselves reprisals and serious dif ficulties. Emulates Wilson "Argentina's sympathetic approval S3 ii mini mAiiiiii ii'ii n-iii ' i n ' fl LATEST NEWS SCREEN TELEGRAM 3 LJ.Z I has followed the United States step by step. We fiave indorsed your course and voiced our approval of the loftiness of your objectives on every important oc casion. I havo personally followed every nove of President Wilson and have read every public utterance by him re garding the aims and purposes of the United t'tates with a .feeling of the gieatesi admiration and respect. By his words and deeds, wo in Argentina have come to recognize and accept him as one of the world's great benign fig ures." Asked if he believes the unselfishness and humamtarianlsm of tho United States is understood and accepted in Ar gentine, President Irigqyen replied: There is no longer the slightest clcubt. Whatever skepticism existed as a result of lack of underslaiifllng of first utterances has been eliminated by the consistency of subsequent utterances and the manner in which actions have S jUured with words. - Sincerity Undoubted. The entire effect and impression left by the interview, which is practically unprecedented in Argentina, was that there is not the slightest doubt of the genuineness and sincerity of President Irigoy.n 's persona! feelings toward the Ui.ited States. Like President Vilson however, he regards his position as pre sident as detached and impersonal, The feeling with which he refenod to the various actions and statements of our president, indicated a belief that his position will be better understood by President Wilson than by anyone. The conversation made evident Presi dent Irigoyen's belief that he and Pre sident Wilson are in attunement on vi tal principles, regardless of possible di vergencies of viewpoint on minor mat ters. Throughout Argentina the admission is frankly made by President Irigoyen 's political opponents that ho is becoming better understood and more appreciated by his eor.ntrymen. Even the strongest pro-ally sympathizer admit the prob ability of Irigoyen understanding the tempertment of the Argentines best and that appreciating the volatile naure of the peoplo and deadly seriousness of participating in the war, lie has awaited the development of an issue upon which he would be certain to have nationwide support in the event o a break with Germany.

Cowgill In the swirl of everyday business sometimes it occurs, that news-paper ar ticles are published in good faith from tho data at hand, hut in an artiele which appeared in the Capital Journal of April 11th it was intimated that Sa lem did not have a box factory of suf ficient capacity to supply the home de mand, which is not the case. Through the courtesy extended me yesterday afternoon by local manager, O. J. Myers, and superintendent, J. ii. Doran, of (.'has. K- Sjiaiililinf; Logging company, I made a tbnrcugh inspection of their box factory department, and from figures furnished mo from their books this company today, with its present equipment alone, has sufficient capacity to supply all the fruit boxes and berry boxes for the entire Willam ette valley from Albany to Portland, provided the orders wore placed in ad vance. There is now on hand in their fac tory eight hundied thousand feet of manufactured box shook ready for shipment, as well as five hundred thou sand berry boxes. What Actual Estimates Show Based on lat year's figures Salem and vicinity the consumption of boxes was approximately 1385 thousand, while the Spaulding company, with its present equipment on an eight hour day, has a yearly capacity of 1500 thousand boxes, which would show an Hangard;En-!ov(,rpr0,iucUon 'of 175 tnousantl hoxe9 With the present equipment on two. 8 i,nr i,;ft h (Wtnrv can Tirnrlno rMx t. ficient unused spare to install addi tional machines that, would make their output approximately three million iboxes.

Angel has passed its quota on the third liberty loan drive and now has $31,850 sub scribed by 313 subscribers. One of tho larger subscriptions was for $1000 by St. Benedict's Abbey, which has $1000 of the lant liberty bonds. The Bene dictino Sisters-" have subscribed $700 all told. Mt. Aivgol Council Knights of Columbus and .tho I. O. O. F. of Scotts Mill, aro also subscribers to the last loan. At Scotts Mills Four good, active committees have been canvassiug Scotts Mills in the interests of the third liberty loan and to date have secured $4750 subscrip tions from 50 subscribers. This will be incrensed materially before tho cam paign is over. Myrtle Creek and Roseburg districts, as well as milking shipments to the California district and other points There was a shortage of over thirty per cent reduction of boxes in Cali fornia last year, and no doubt Oregon will be called upon to assist this com ing season to fill the orders. There I have been boxes shipped to Salem at a lower price than those quoted by the Spaulding company ,and quite often errors occur in estimating boxes, as I was informed that several ears had been received here at a lower prico than the actual cost of production. If the Spaulding company is able to compete with other lactones iu their territory there is no reason why busi ness would not have been kept at home, had the outsido concerns quoted the going price, us from my observation there can certainly be 110 question as to-the class manufactured by the local concern.

Ho returned to Salem, mid sent word to Booth that he very much desired to appoint him Unit ed States senator but the big paper would not approve the appointment and he felt it would be unwise to name him for tho place. The buck was passed. Beforo any- appointment was mad the governor visited his brother on his ranch in Washington county. His bro ther is a neighbor of W. K. Newell, who was tho choice of the granges for tho senatorship. Newell Was discussed and tho governor became enthused, accord ing to tho reports nt tho time, over the idea of appointing him to fill the va cancy, and thus giving recognition to the farmers of tho state. After the governor returned home his ardor for Newell cooled, but again he had more than half promised tho appointment and he found himself iu another dilemma. He neatly passed the buck before, why not pass it again? So it is said tho governor retraced his steps to Portland, but this time lie visited the editorial sanctum of the late offspring of the big paper in tho tall tower and asked them what he thought about Newell as the proper man for ap pointment as I. nited estates senator.

Returning home, it is said tho gov ernor sent word to Newell he wautid very much to nppoint him, but the afore mentioned paper disapproved of him and lie felt it would be unwise to name him for the place. The buck was passed. Then the governor picked Charles Mc Nary as the best appointment he could mako to strengthen his own chances for re t ection. When the term j)f Highway Commis sioner Adams expired, the governor could not reappoint Adams without in curring the displeasure of S. Benson, chairman of the commission, and ho chose the opportunity to reward Booth, with a position which will not require him to go before the voters of tho state for approval. And Adams declares, in a statement ho issued at Eugene, that Booth 's ap- j point ment is tho result of a deal be' twee 11 the governor and Benson, where by the governor wins the support of Benson in the governor a campaign for ro-clection.
