WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Reports
that the German submarine, believed
to have sunk the Arabic, either has
been captured or sunk by the British
navy are beginning to find credence
here The long delay in reporting has
caused naval officers who have been
following the Arabic case to believe
that the U-boat has been lost. Secre-
tary Lansing was asked today whether
his department had received any word
that the submarine was missing. He

finite clue leading to the solution Of
the murder of Rev. E. NJ. Kayser came
to- Hight today, when 1t was learned

we're considered highly important.

the Commercial clubs committee on
public improvements, said today.
Mr.. Krone said that the petition for
the installation Of this system on these
three blocks had been signed by three

ers, az required by law, and he felt

Mr. Krone said, "and believe the re-
quired number of signers will be Sc
cured on those two blocks. Our next
move will be to circulate similar
petition among the property owners
on Main street between Fourth and
Fifth streets, and the first blocks of
both North and South Seventh streets" "
If Petition Referred Back.
Today the board of public works
received petition signed by property
owners on North Ninth street, between
Main and North A streets, for the in
stallation of boulevard lighting sys-
tenn, but the petition was referred
back to the petitioners, because the
requests was made that the system be
installed under the provisions of a
law passed by the last legislature,
which is Objectionable to the board.
The petitioners say that the incorpo-
ration of this request in their petition
was a mistake, and that they desire
to have the lights installed under the
requirements demanded by the board
of public works.
The requirements are that the
property owners shall assume the en-
tire cost of purchasing the lamps and
standards and paying the cost of their
installation. the city agreeing to pro-
vide current without charge to the
property owners, and to assume the
entire expense of maintenance.
Under the state law the city would
have to pay the cost of street inter-
section lamps and pay at least 35 per
cent of the cost of illumination and
the entire cost of maintenance. The
board is willing to pay the entire cost
of illumination, providing the property
owners assume the expense of Install
ing intersection lamps.
Petitions being circulated on Main
street and North and South Eighth
streets are in compliance with the
demands of the board.

from Richmond who observed the
threatening storm. Two great funnel
shaped clouds were seen whirling
high in the air and travelling rapidly.

descended to the ground the loss to
property in its path would undoubted-
ly have been heavy. This is the first

SO far as the purely theoretical as
pecfs OF the matter are concerned
the problem OF national defense u
nicely disposed OF In the administra-
tion plan OF army and navy increases
which is now given in outline after
severaI months Of careful work and
| preparation.
The maximum OF trained men for
the minimum Of cost Is the keynote
OF the plan as we read II. Thus the
dominant notes OF public opinion to-
day are carefully reflected-prcpared-
ness and economy. Think OF an uiti-
mate army Of 100000 men for evea
less than 1t requires 10 maintain a
European force OF that magnitude.
Think OF adding hundreds OF thoug-
ands OF young men annually TO our
defensive forces without paying a
handsome bill or interfering very
much with our Industrial and eco
nomic life. Truly wonderful.
At the outset we are TO increase this

giving total OF 10000 men In the
first line. This will cost many mil
lions OF dollars, for the American sol
dier is the highest paid soldier In
the world. II costs us as much for
a Lieutenant az II does Russia for
lieutenant general. A lowiy Amerl-
can private gets ae much pay In one
month as three Russian regulars re-
ceive for a year in the ranks. But
then no one win quarrel seriously with
the general staff's iiberality with the
army for more army is sadly needed
to perform national police work, and
1t Is impracticable 70 get men for
smaller pay rates than those now in
effect
1t is when the administration turns
to the citizen soldiery that the big
savings are made. The patriotic Of
ficers and men OF the national guard
can be added TO the sum total OF
effectiyes by adding few
dollars OF extra expense in the way
OF federal support. Better still, con-
army OF hundreds OF thous-
ands can be recruited for a nominal
cost and kept In the finest fettle by
two monthg training yearly. From
a humble starting nucleus OF $4,000
men 1t IL planned to Increase the con-
tinentals year by year for six years
until their total number Is 500. 0.000. |
BY this time 100000 reserves will have |
accumulated from the several |
branches OF the service and the whole |

BORED By rHE BOARDS.

Oregon has few fewer state boards
and commissions than there are armed
men in Europe, but their number !.
formidable. There's board for al
most every purpose except 70 repaii
your chicken house which would be
useful and consequently taboo. Tbis
proud young commonwealth has mil
lions for state boards, but not one cent
for an Eastern Oregon Normal.
While comprehensive their number
is, of course, not altogether complete,
but steps will doubtless be taken to
remedy such deficiencies as may occur.
There could be board for regulating
and controlling the odof emanating
from Mephitis Americanus; another
for inspecting the unhygienic diaper;
another for investigating the value Of
pulyerized coprolite as a fertilizer.
These suggestions are advisory and not
mandatory. Better ores would doubt
less occur to the ubiquitous state job
hunter.
The life Of these organizations Is
just one report after one another.
They exhaust themselves in exhausting
exhaustive reports, and then exhaust
the country newspapers by constant
bombardment through the mails. They
develop more reports than battery
of German howitzers. The fact that
no country paper ever publishes these
reports and that no one else ever reads
one, cuts no more ice than an aimIess
skeeter on the surface Of stagnant
mill pond.
IL these expensive bodies are to be
and they seem to have per-
manently attached themselves to the
public payroll I-then should the state
expend little more money and relieve
the burdened mail of the newspapers.
