Blockade Imposed to Force
: Evacuation
Provinces
c Berlin, Oct. 12. The allies have imposed a blockad
in the Baltic sea as a means of enforcing the German evac
uation of Courland, the Stettin Abenpost reported today.
:The newspaper quoted a telegram from London said to
;have been received by the German government saying:
."" "Owine to the attack on Riga, pass-. the allies cannot: accept the contention
-age permits are provisionally withdrawn
'from all German sliips in tho Baltic. All
, -German -ships must be recalled and no
others arc allowed to put to see. All
ships encountered in the Baltic arc lia
ble to seizure by the allies.''" r

Charges that the German government I
has delayed deliberately the withdraw-1
ai of General Von Dor Goltz' forces
from the Baltic- region, were
- ... I
in the most, recent note to Berlin from
the, allied and associated powers. '
i The note, made public here today, de
clared, that until Germany undertakes
tho evacuation and "pursues it with a
desirable celerity," the allies will main-,
tain tho coercive measure announced in
their voto of September 27, when renew
al of the blockade was threatened.
: The allies point out that the situa
tion in tho Baltic suddenly has become
more critical and declare that Getmtvny
will be held fully responsible in execut
ing the order of cvneution.
1 An allied commission will be nppolnt
1 ed to superintendent the withdrawal
- tlie'Germans are-told, and the mcasiiros
'provided for in the ultimatum will u
be cancelled until-that commission In
'forms the supreme council that the evac
uation is progressing normally.
The allies liiUre why Von Der Golte
has not yet been punished if it is trait,
I as the Germans assert, that he is guilty
; of insubordination.
"It is difficult not to believe," says
tlie allied note, "that the delay (in'
evacuation) has been calculated to lead
to the very results which the German
! government now effect to deplore.' It
.seems indeed impossible otherwise to ex
plain the refusal to recall Von Der Goltz
Twlio has been their (the Germans) offi
cial instrument in creating the present
situation in open ueuaucc oi uie aineu

The allied note -asks why Von Der

only recently, "was sent black deliber-
ately to the scene of his ntrocit.es. ex-
cent to complete the organization which
now affords the German government tlw

NZIO IS
By Henry Wood
(United Press Staff C corespondent.) 'J
Rome, Oct. IS; Opposition, to ub-
briellc D'Annunzio is growing. Today
it had reached such heights that the
poet, apparently doubtful of his support,
had called a meeting of the Fiuine popu
lation to ascertain whether the people
were still faithful to him. :
This does not mean that anyone in
Italy .is prepared to renounce in the
slightest degree the desire that Flunii:
becomo Italian. It does mean, howovor,
that both Italy and Fiuine are becom
ing bored to distraction by D'Aunmirio
and his occupation of Fiuine.
..Tho Hume population, wishes an and
to the abnormal situution which the
poet-warrior has created.. The paralysis
of the port is increasing ldleiiess and
hardships. - ;-- -
. BothUn Some ttnd in Flume it Is ad
mittod that after a tnonth of the poet-'s
occupation, tire, solution of the Fiuine
problem is no nearer than before, while
D 'nnunzio 's obstiiiate insistence In
"Hanging on" only delays and comp.i
cateB the chances for a speedy peaceful
settlement. ' . .
D'Annuuzie has completely shattered
Fiume 'a expectations of a flourishing
trade iu supplying the Austro-Hutignr-
iau hinterland. As a result of -the
Italian government's blockade, ships no

Everyone In- Fiume has been disillu

gusted. The occupation has degenerated
nw into a personal squabble between
D'Aununzio and Premier Nitti.
According to information from Fiume.
the poet realizes the failure of his ven
ture, but friends who know his extra-
'ordinary vanity doubt whether he wil',
be able to swallow his pride; hence he
. holds on, hopine a settlement will be
made without lain giving in.

UTTlf CHANGE
Grayson Says , President U
... Improviag Slowly After
- LongConsaltatioa.
NO ATTENTION IS )PAE)
TO MANY; WILD RUMORS
Unfounded Report Started By
Senator Moses Denied By
Physician.
Washington, Oct. l.V-(tIriited Press)
TKe statement of Prosidont Wildou 's
physicians, issued at, 12::20 p. m. to
day said1: - -. - '" -, -
''The president's condition remains
th same as for the past several dayi
His temperature,. with ithe exception of
ono day, pulse and. respiration, heart
action and blood pressure, are normal
and have been so sim:e the onset of his
illness. The kidneys - are p functioning
normally. ' ' ' , . . -
The statement, was signed by ' Dts.
Grayson, Euffin, Stitt and was issued
afteY a long consultation. It entered
into greater detail thaii previous state
ments. , .- ... ' i .
; Grayson said informally the presi
dent continued1 to improve slowly. He
said it had been decided no attempt
will he made to denv the many rumors
heard in Washington and elsewhere.
" In a pinch the president would oe ;
iblo to sien measures, or to act," it
was stated, fcut his physicians do not
wish to a'bandon the Test cure ana win
resist every effort- to have Wilslon
again resume his duties now. '
Orayson statedl again that should
any alarming symptom arise, -the pub
lic would be informf'V , .
It has been expectedTliai a detailed
diagnosis of the ; president 's ailment
would toe issued aftor the physicians'
conference, in answer to roporta that
he had suffered a brain lesion. Instead,
it was learned, the doctors have adopt
ed a policy of ignoring rumors.
The idea of making public a detailed
diagnosis was suggested when Dr. Gray
son was informed that a letter, said
to have been written by SenatoT Mos
es to a constituent in New Hampshire
and containing the statement that Wil
son had a brain lesion ana could, never
work again, had been published in a
number of newspapers. Grayson re
marked that "perhaps tho senator has
information not available to the presi
dent's physicians." Secretary Tumulty
refused! to talk about it.
It Was considered likely that Senator
Moses would be asked on the senate
floor today to tell where he got his in
formation. Senator Hitchcock, demo
cratic leadeT. who has" been in close
touek with the white house ever since
Witann ' rpturn f rom speaking said
that, his information about the presi
dent was radically different from the
report given out by the New Hamp
shire senator.
Although Grayson, made no flat de
nial of Moses' assertion, he hinted sev
eral times that the senator had been
misinformed. He said he believed that
a detailed diagnosis, it" issued, would
not bear out Moses' statement. Ho also
said he hoped the president soon would
be able to "answer such rumors him
self." ,
The )id was down more closely than
I usual on unofficial reports from tne
sick roonj last night ana early xoany.
It was understood that Wilson went
through the same Toutino as usual, list
ening to the phonograph andi hearing
poems read by Mrs. Wilson. It is doubt
ful if he has been told that a number
of important . bills are awaiting his
signature, including the war time pro
hibition enforcement measure, and tic
amendments to the food coutrol act
giving the government power ,to prose
cute profiteers.

Bushey Tells
On Market Roads Under
Recent Bond Measure
Assurance that the eounty court will
fulfill its contract under the recent
bond issue for road work in the coun
ty was made by County Judge W. M.
Bushey, speaking at the business tnena
luncheon at the Commercial club this
noon. Conditions favoring, he said, the
county will lay 100 miles of pavement
in the county during the next five
years. '.'.,.'
. Already between five and six miles
of hard surface have been raid this
season, Judge Bushey told tho busi
ness men. Tho shortage of labor, and
tha increase cost of all materials have
Deen unfavorable factors in tho con
duct of , the paving problem, this . sea
son, ho said, but, despite this, the al
lotment of, $15,000 mile for road
work has not been exceeded!
. Actual paving in the' county ceased
last week, the judgw said. Work, now
of preparing foundations and laying
gravel roadbeds in preparation for next
season's hard surfacing is being carried
on, and will be continued, Judge Bush
ey assorted, until various roads are
made passable for the winter months.
The announcement that the county
court is now negotiating for two more
pacing plants, to bo installed next
season, one at Mt. Angel andi the other
at Aumsville, was made by Judue Bush
ey. .This-will make three plants in the
county. Mt. Angel and Aumsville were
chosen as sites for the plants, he. said,
because they are central points in the
county pavhigi sections. Costs of haul
STREET AT ONCE
Determined, effort to have Fourth
street opened up from the Mill race i
and ita junction with "Liberty street to
the (River road, north of tho ity, and
tno paving or moKory street rrom
Fourth to the Pacific highwayf on the
eastern outskirts of Salem, was being
made Monday by a delegation of bus
iness men. Advantage of having" tho
streets opened up was put up squarely
to men in tin business district during
tho day. , , r
Men active in securing this improve
ment point out that "by opening up
Fourth street from tho river road, and
its detour on Hickory street to the Pa
cific highway, a direct route into tho
heart of the city, and past the C'ommer',
cial club, is niado for tourists from the
north." They tlaim that the route now
travelled on North Commercial street
and on Fifth street aro hazardous, and
do not take the tourists through those
sections of the eitv that are most like
ly to appeal to the now comer.
A petition now before tho city coun
cil to pave Fourth street from thc Mill
race, to Hickory street, at a width of
20 feet, will be waived, and an effort
to make the stroct 30 foet wide will
bo made.
Another alleged reprehensible fea
ture of tho present arteries leading
from the north into the city's business
districts, is that , North Commercial
street passes through the industrial
sections, which, it is believed, will not
appeal to tho tourit like- tho residence
district through which Fourth street

DEPORTING ALIENS

Washington, Oct. 13. Deportation of
immigrants aftor five yeurs residence in

from its investigation of the steel strike,
Chairman Kcnyon announced on his re
turn today from Pittsburgh.
Senators on the investigating commit
tee declared today Americanization of
foreign born persons must be undertak
en at once if grave industrial trouble is
to be averted. , -
"To neglect this duty means very
troublesome times and very serious in
dustrial troubles, as well ' as rapid
growth of socialism," Senator Walsh
declared.
He proposed to the labor committee
that a bill bo drafted providing for e
portation of foreigners who have not
learned English at tho end of five years.
Commilsorv education and a shorter
working day must accompany this,
Walsh declared.

the shortage of labor will not be so
marked next spring when paving oper

'.And unless costs for materials con
tinue to rise," he said, "we will be
able to continue within our limit for

In spite of thel increased price tliat
the county Is compelled to pay for ma

to lay hard surface, of tho samo type,
at a cost half that the state highway
commission is paying.' ' .
One of the business men present at
the luncheon complained of the width
of the hard surface, which is 16 feet
This cannot bo remedied by the coun
ty court, Judgo Bushey said, because
the width is specified by the state
highway commission.
The court is giving consideration to
the) sngrestion that the money appro
priated for roads in certain sections be
expended on gravol roads, and not

some sections, ho said, it had been ask
