WAVES HIGH UP IN RANK
Sufferer From Effects Of High Sea
Was Designating Them as He
Watched Their Approach.

A New York man was crossing the
Atlantic with an army officer who suf-
fered greatly from seasickness,
On entering the stateroom one par
ticularly rough day he found the off,
Ger tossing in his berth, muttering in
what at first appeared to be a sort of
dellrium.
STOPPING over to catch his words,
the friend heard him say: Sergeant
major sergeant . major
-. brigadier general +. ugh, lieuten-
ant general :. a.a-a-h!"
What are you saying?" asked the
friend in some alarm, as the sufferer
looked piteously up at him after his
last gasping "a-a-ah!"
Assigning the waves their rank,
said the military man, rolling toward
the wall again. There have been
eight lieutenant generals within the
last twenty minutes"

Wrong Diagnosis.

One OF the prominent clubs of this
city gave contract for the decoration
Of their building in honor of the visit
Of the feet, and the decorator con-
ceived the idea that the word "wel-
come" spelled out in signal flags would
be an appropriate and beautiful design
for the front wall, over the entrance.
He asked a naval officer for directions,
and, following the code which said
officer wrote out for him, very inter
esting result was obtained. Judge Of
the surprise of the contractor when an
army officer, happening by, asked: DO
you knew what you have written?"
Why, welcome" stammered the
decorator.
NET by long shot" said the army
officer. you have got up there, ITO

Victims Of the prua HabIt.

According to a recent estimate Of
the United States public health serv-
ice, the number of persons in this
country who are victims of the drug
habit is about 10000, and the number
of doses of narcotic drugs consumed
by them annually is about $4,000, 1000.
This estimate is based on figures col
lected in the state of Tennessee where
under a recently enacted antinarcotic
law 1,403 permits were issued in six
months to persons petltioning for the
privilege of using narcotic drugs, and
the consumption of such drugs amount
ed to S,49S, 200 average doses.

JUDGMENT UPON REPORTS,
INCLINED TO THINK so.
WARNING WAS GIVEN ARMENIAN
British ship Refused to obey Conn.,
mand to Haiti Is Not Probable
Incident Will Further complicate Is
sue Between the Two Nations.

Washington, July 2-Official infor-
nation on which to base an accurate
judgment of circumstances under
which the British steamer Armenian
was destroyed with the loss of num-
Der of American lives, was lacking
tonight, and until all details are avail
able, Secretary Lansing stated that
the position of the American govern
ment could not be determined.
From news dispatches, however, and
a closer reading of official reports OF
yesterday, officials were inclined to
the view that inasmuch as the Arme-
nian apparently refused to submit to
the warning command of the German
submarine to halt, and made repeated
attempts to escape, according to inter
tional law, the sinking of the vessel
was justified, even though non-combat-
ants were on board. This was the rule
laid down in the case of blockade run.
ners in the American civil war and is
the principle applicable also to neu-
trail vessels WHICH refuse to submit to
visit and search.
There was little tension over the in.
cident in official quarters here after
it became known that the Armenian
had sought to evade capture. 1t was
admitted that If official reports bore
out the press dispatches there was
no likelihood that any new cause OF
complaint would be added to the is
sues pending between the United
States and Germany.
One or two officials suggested that
inasmuch as Germany had in effect
given warning that enemy ships would
be torpedoed without warming mer
chairman carrying contraband might
be justified in attempting to escape
since to halt would mean certain de-
struction, with no assurances of ar
opportunity for the crew to escape
1t was pointed out that the last Ameri
can note to Germany on the Lusitania
and Falaba case said
Nothing but actual forcible resist
ance or continued efforts to escape by
flight when ordered to stop for the
purpose of visit on the part of the
merchantmen has ever been held t.
forfeit the lives of her passengers anC
crew."
These officials were inclined to ar
que that the German submarines nigh
not order vessels to stop merely TO
the purpose of visit" Others, how
ever, declared that the rules of war
fare do not require the commander o
a warship to state his purpose whel
directing a merchantmen to halt.
The only fact of Importance re
ceived officially by the state depart
ment, came in report from Ambassa

steel Trust Decision.

The steel trust decision mainly rest
ed on the fact that, since its organiza-
ton in 1901, the business done by the
Steel corporation had increased in a
smaller ratio than the business OF its
independent competitors. This estab-
lished fact. and the equally known
fact that the corporation has never
employed toward It's competitors the
oppressive methods Of the Standard
OIL and the American Tobacco, have
stood II in good stead in this first
judicial test, and may quite possibly
win its case before the highest court.
But 1t should be carefully observed
that even this present decision Is
very far from indicating all the pre-
vious practices, even of the Steel
orporation.-NewY York Evening Post

Wheat Outlook Not Clear.

Portland grain dealers zee no reason
to change their attitude toward the
wheat market, and consequently busi-
ness is inactive all along the line, with
prices more or Ieas stationary. Where
there was change In quotations II
was in the nature Of reduction.
No one 10 able yet 70 figure out what
will be the effect Of the Canadian en-
barge. but the feeling prevails that II
II influences the American market In
any way II will be adversely. The net
result Of the operations at Chicago was
q decline Of I cent, and It would occa-
sion no surprise II the Eastern mar
kets would continue to sag for several
days, or at least until the situation
clears. The influence Of the Canadian
governments action, II 10 expected,
win soon be felt in the freight market
on the Atlantic side. and that should
furnish cue as TO the probable course
Of wheat values. In the meantime,
the trade here seem disposed 70 stand
BY and await developments.
No trading is reported at country
points. At the exchange in Portland
there was sale Of 5000 bushels Of De-
cember club at 80 cents, the same
price that was bid the previous day.
Offers for January club were lowered
| cent. December bluestem bids were
also down cent, and tife offers we're
/ to 2 cents lower than last week.
Other varieties and deliveries Of
wheat were unchanged in price. There
was nothing doing in the coarse grains.
the former prices were posted.
