Export Trade Makes
Record During January

Washington, d. C.-Foreign trade
from January 2 to January 80 through
Is principal customs ports, which
handle approximately SO per cent OF
the nations export and import busi-
ness, netted a balance in favor of the
United States of $131, 1873, 1888, ex-
ceeding all records for any one month.
The total exports for the four weeks,
January to January 80, was $685.
574,096, or an average Of $59, 643, 524
per week. The imports were $107,-
440,208, or an average Of $26, $50, 052
a week.
Officials of the department of Com
merce said these figures represented
only telegraphic returns from the
principal customs ports and that when
complete reports were received from
throughout the service the volume of
business transacted last month would
show material increase-about Ia
per cent-over the present figures.
OF the four weeks mentioned, the
last, ended January 80, produced a
favorable balance of s35, 901, ,535. Ac-
cording to the department records,
this shows the largest excess of ex-
ports over imports for any similar per-
iod for more than 10 years. Exports
for this week totaled $63, 139 and
imports $27, 766, ,604.

Prominent Women Plead
for School for Girls

State Capitol, Salem Declaring
that there was real need for the insti-
tuition and that II was the duty OF the
state, which IL should not attempt TO
shirk, to take care Of and educate its
wayward girls, IL womer, reprcseFit-
ing various clubs, appeared before the
Joint ways and means committee this
week and protested against the pro-
posed recommendation TO the legisla-
turc that the Industrial School for
Girls be abolished.
Representative Of the women's 8
clubs spoke frankly, as did members
Of the committee, and 1t 10 believed a
plan will be agreed upon that will be
satisfactory to all concerned. Mrs. s.
M. Blumauer, representing the Coun-
ell Of Jewish Women, said 1t would be
unjust and unwise at this time TO dis
continue the school. II was not mer-
cenary question, she urged, but an
economical one, and duty that should
be performed. The fact that only
comparatively few girls had been
taken care OF was no reason for doing
away with the school, she said.

Embargo Argument Has
Attention of u. S. Senate

Washington, D. Ex-senator Hitch
cocks bill to empower the President
to forbid exports of war supplies was
urged before the senate foreign rela-
tions committee by Horace l.. Brand
and Michael English, of Chicago, and
Representative Bartholdt, of Missouri.
Mr.. Bartholdt said England had en-
acted similar law in 1863, just be-
fore the Crimean War, and regarded 1t
as a domestic matter. Under ques-
tioning by Senator Sutherland, he
thought the effect of the Hitchcock
bill would be to weaken the allies.
He cited the biography of Ambassa-
dor White at Berlin in 1898, during
the Spanish-American war, to show
Germany's attitude. 1t was said
there, he said, that shipload Of war
materials had left Hamburg for a
Spanish port when Mr.. White protest.
ed and the German government, al
though it had a clear right to permit
such traffic, ordered the ship back to
Hamburg to be unloaded.

Ardent Appeal Made for
Irrigation Appropriation

State Capitol, Salem-Leading busi-
ness men of Portland, Eastern Oregon
an other sections Of the state at
meeting here urged the joint ways
and means committee to report favor
ably upon the house bill providing an
appropriation Of $3.50, 900 for irriga-
tion work the next two years. All de-
clared that the proposed work would
constitute an investment the state
could ill-afford to decline to make, ih-
asmuch as the Federal government had
guaranteed to give similar amount in
the reclamation of the arid lands of
the state.
Joseph T. Hinkle, representative in
the Legislature from Umatilla county,
and chairman of the house irrigation
committee, said the progressive busi-
ness men of the state wanted the ap-
preparation as was evidenced by its ad-
vocacy by the Portland Commercial
club, the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, the Progressive Business Mems
club, the lumber, railroad and other
interests.

mission, said the legislature faced a
question of economy, not parsimony.
The day of large irrigation projects
being carried to successful conclus-
ion by private capital, he said, had
passed. 1t was purely a governmental
function, he declared, for individuals
would want profits, but the govern
ment, working in the interest of the
people, would not. Reclamation would
have to be done, he declared, either
by the state or the National govern
ment or by them working in cooper
alton. Declaring that considerable
part of the eastern section of the state
was desert and would remain SO until
it was supplied with water, Mr.. Teal
said, it is in the interest of good busi-
ness to improve the land as soon as
possible. He urged that continuous
plan of work be adopted until all arid
land was reclaimed.

German Army Officer
Dynamites Canadian Bridge

Vanceboro, Me. - Another interna.
tional problem incident to the war waf
thrust upon the United States by the
action Of Werner van Horn, who.
operating on the Canadian side of the
border, dynamited the railway bridge
over the St. Croix river and then es.
capped into this state.
A few hours later, in room at a
hotel here, Van Horn quietly submit
ted 70 arrest. but Immediately pro-
claimed himself an officer Of the Ger
man army and set up the contention
that he had committed an act Of war,
and, having fled to neutral country,
could not be legally surrendered to an
enemy Of the fatherland.
The Canadian authorities, however,
at once instituted proceedings to OBJ
tain Van Horns extradition on a
charge Of destruction of railroad prop
erty. Pending the outcome of these
efforts, Van Horn is held at the immi-
grafton Office here in custody of Deputy
Sheriff George w. Ross, of Washing
ton county.
The bridge which Van Horn sought
to destroy was not greatly damaged.
The st. Croix river for some dis
tance forms the boundary between
Maine and New Brunswick. The
bridge is owned jointly by the Maine
Central and the Canadian Pacific rail-
ways and is on the direct route Of the
Pacific from Western Canada
to the maritime provinces. Over this
road have been shipped large quanti-
ties of war materials for the allies,
which were placed on board ships at
st. John and Halifax.

partment Wednesday that the British
feet had been ordered to treat cargoea
Of grain and -four destined for Ger.

This step. the ambassador explained,

the publication Of the German order
the ambassador here, Count Won Bern
storff, personally has assured the
American government that no food
stuffs imported from the United States

announced the issuance of a modifying
decree making such exemptions by the
German government.
Ambassador Page said the British
government had informed him that be-
cause the steamship Wilhelmina, now
bound from New York to Hamburg
with grain and other food, had sailed
before the issuance Of the German de-
cree, an exception would be made In
her case.
The vessel would be seized, it was
said, but she would be released and her
cargo purchased at invoice price by
the British government. Warning
was given. however. that other ship
ments hereafter of like character,
when destined for Germany directly or
indirectly, would be seized, as well as

House Passes Its
COmpensGtiOn Bill.

State Capitol, Salem---By vote Of
66 TO 2 the house passed house bill
222, providing d series Of amendments
to the workmen's compensation act
that. are expected 10 remedy defects In
The law tfint have been discovered in
the few months IL has been In effect.
The principal change contemplated
is to reclassify the industries and
make their rates Of insurance under
the act commensurate with the risk in
volved.
The measure requires the industrial
accident commission to investigate all
cases where 1t has reason to believe
that employers subject to the act have
failed to install or maintain safety
appliances required by statute, and to
report cases Of failure to a prosecuting
attorney and request criminal proceed
ings.
1t further offers inducements to en-
ployers to remove the hazard from
their shops and factories by reducing
their rates in proportion to the reduc-
tion Of the number of accidents.
1t was openly charged on the floor Of
the house that the casualty companies
were eager to have the bill defeated
and that they would benefit by enact
ment Of law similar to the Michigan
law.
A dozen members spoke in favor Of
the bill, including Representative
Scheubel, its author, and Sam Brown,
Mr.. Smith, of Multnomah, Horne,
Hare, Lewis, Jeffries and Wentworth.
1t was pointed out that the bill had the
Endorsement of both employers and
employees, and DR.. Smith declared that
the best argument in favor of it was
the charge that the casualty companies
were against 1t.

PRESIDENT ASKS
COOPERATION
Spirit of War in Time Of Peace
Urged by Executive.
Wilson Predicts Shortage of Food
and Urges Farmers to Grov
Larger Grain Supply.

Washington, D. C. - Cooperation
between business and the government
in framing laws for the benefit Of all
the people was urged by President
Wilson Thursday night in an address
before several hundred representative
business men, here attending the an
nual convention of the Chamber Of
Commerce of the United States. He
declared that 1--WE must all pool our
interests" in order to discover the best
means for handling public problems.
The creation in the United States
in time of peace of the same kind of
united spirit which moves nations dur
ing wars was advocated by the Presi-
dent, who remarked that "when peace
is as handsome as war there will be no
wars"
"When men engage in the pursuits
of peace in the same spirit of self
sacrific as they engage in wars, wars
will disappear.
The President predicted that while
there is a shortage of food in the
world now the shortage will be much
greater later. He pointed out that
under the guidance of the department
of Agriculture efforts must be made by
farmers in the United States to grow
more grain, in order that the world
may be fed.
Speaking of the foreign trade of the
United States, the President asked
that business men devise some way of
allowing exporters in the United
States to combine to secure common
selling agencies, and to give longtime
credits in such way that these CO.
operative devices may be open to the
use of all.
He declared that apparently the
antitrust laws prohibited such COM
binations now, but he would favor
change if method fair to all could be
found.
He spoke of the work being done by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce in surveying the world"
for the benefit of all business men.
Business men themselves are to blame
if intelligent laws affecting them are
not framed, the President asserted.
He added that they should come out in
to the open and use their knowledge of
conditions to bring about fair laws to
prevent business evils.
