.UMATILLA COUNTY AUTO
CLUB WILL Be ORGANIZED
MEETING Is CALLED FOR NEXT
FRIDAY TO TAKE DEFT-
MITE ACTION.

On next Friday evening a Umatil-
la county automobile club will be
organized in this city, calls for a
meeting for that purpose having
been issued today by r. w. Ritner
who first suggested such an institu-
ton at recent good roads meeting
here. A general county good roads
meeting will be held here next Fri
day afternoon and by making the
meeting OF autoists on the same ev-
ening it is hoped to have many of
the good roads delegates present.
The purpose of an automobile
club will be to advocate and work
for better highways and to cooper
ate in meeting the various problems
that present themselves to owners of
motor cars. Every auto owner in
the county is invited and urged to
join in the movement.
Since the matter was suggested a
week ago. much support for such an
organization has developed. Yester-
day when the Cello boosters stopped
at Weston, Representative Ritner an
nounced the meeting Friday evening
and received many assurances of sup
port from the drivers Of cars of that
town.

RUSSIANS AND AUSTRIANS
STRUGGLE IN CARPATHIANS
DEATH GRAPPLE is ON BE
TWEEN IMMENSE ARMIES
FOR PASSES.

PETROGRAD, April 3.-Locked in
a life and death struggle. the Rus.
sian and Austrian armies are battling
for the possession Of the Carpathians
The battle which has developed is a
combat which may mean the almost
complete annihilation of the van
pushed and is believed to be ap-
approaching a decision. With infan-
try and artillery engaged, the battle
is being waged along rs mile front
from VIOLA Michlova toward the Sen
river Upon the result depends the
success of the invasion of Hungary
by the Slav forces and the possible
ending of the war through Austria
sueing for a separate peace to pre-
vent the empires disintegration.
Correspondents send enthusiastic
reports Of Russian successes in dis.
patches from the front, but the war
office does not share the belief that
the battle is yet won. Victories have
been scored, it is claimed, but the
climax of the struggle will be a gi-
gantic clash for the control OF Us
zok Pass, which inevitable is yet to
begin. A force of nearly half a
million Austrians and Germans now
is occupying positions in the Carpa.
thians, 1t is estimated here. They
are widely distributed in defending
the passes or the railway lines lead

lars a Year--FOrmed In 1902.

NEW YORK, April IA petition
for a receiver for the International
Mercantile Marine company was filed
by the New York Trust company. II
is alleged that the concern, known as
the shipping trust" defaulted on two
million, three hundred thousand dol
lars interest on bonds. The company
was formed by the late ]. P. Morgan
The business was estimated at so
million dollars per year.
The receivership was precipitated
by losses sustained on account Of the
war The company, which probably
was the largest of its kind in the
world, controls the White Star, Red
Star, American, Atlantic Transport
Dominion and Leyland lines. 1t was
formed in 1902 as the crowning work
of Morgans genius for organization
1t was recently reported that Nor
gan attempted also to control the
Cunard line but the British govern
ment baked the plan, fearing a loss
of prestige In the transatlantic ship
ping trade To compete with the In
ternational Mercantile Marine COM
pany, England contributed ten mil
lion dollars toward the construction
Of the Lusitania and Mauretania, the
two Cunarders which, when launch

ternational difficulties began when
the British government ordered the
White Star liners Oceanic and Olym-
pic as auxiliary warships Trade
dropped off and the company was un-
able to meet the interest on an issue
of fifty-two million dollars in bonds
The New York Trust company holds
the mortgage, secured by bonds, con-
tanning a provision that any of the
bondholders may apply for a receiver
whenever the interest is defaulted. so
the present action is virtually one of
voluntary receivership.

illustration OF the virtue of what they
preach. No made to order demon
stration OF the value Of good roads
over mud roads could have been more
convincing than the experience met
with by the boosters on their return
from the east end of the county.
After concluding a very successful

the party made the run from Free
water to walla Walla. Returning
home the cars left at various hours
during the evening. One machine got
ahead of the storm and escaped
trouble. The remainder encountered
the mud road problem between Wes-

to make the siege of Przemysl seem

WASHINGTON, April S.--With the

rumors that the Prinz EiteI Frieder-

night. The navy department said IL
had reached Norfolk by wireless but
the message was not answered. 1t
was pointed out i'm official circles that
If the Eitel escaped there was no rea-
son for secrecy. The reported flight
is being doubted, the rumOr being at
tributed TO an emplOye of the Mari
time Exchange at Baltimore. The re-
venue cutter service has received no
word of the reported escape.
No news concerning the Eitel has
been received by the German embassy
since yesterday. Attaches expressed the
belief that the cruiser probably would
make dash if il saw a chance of es-
