PAY TRIBUTE TO
DEAD PIONEERS
Old Settlers Gather at Con-
gregational Church for Tes-
timonial to Departed

That the world 10 steadily growing
better was the contention made BY
Rev. Charles McDermoth, Sunday, u
the annual memorial exercises Of the
Aberdeen Pioneers' association and
other old Grays Harbor settlers. held
in the First Congregational church.
The reverend speaker, in delivering
the annual sermon, declared that the
time Is coming soon when there will
be more of the brotherly feeling, q
greater desire to help one another,
and to place friendship above the
anxiety to get rich. There will, in
his opinion, be a larger purpose in
living-fear and pain of passing into
the other world will be eliminated al.
together and the world will reach the
millennium condition that has been pro.
missed. This will be realized through
the new conditions that will be
brought about by larger fellowship
and deeper love for one another.
The music was provided by choir

VIENNA. Via London. Nov. a. The following official communication was issued today:
 Russian theater: There is nothing to report.
 Italian theater: Yesterday the bridgehead of Gorizia again was kept under a heavy fire by artillery and mines, but no Italian infantry attacks took place. There was very severe fighting on both sides of Monte San Michele. North of the mountain strong enemy forces pene- trated our positions, but during the afternoon our forces counter attacked and completely repulsed the enemy.
 After fluctuating and severe hand to hand fighting several attacks against Monte San Michele itself were repulsed with the heaviest of Italian losses. Attempted attacks on our positions on Monte Dei Seibusi were suppressed by our fire. Near Zagora the enemy threw heavy bombs, which developed asphyxiating gases.
 '-On the southern front of the Tyrol the station and a portion of the town of Riva were again bombarded One of our airmen dropped bombs on the barracks and stores of Ala.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24-Secretary Lane of the Interior department is- sued statement tonight saying con- gress should act promptly to relieve the oil operators in California and wyoming, against whom the govern ment has brought suits under the Taft order of 1909, withdrawing cer- tain oil lands from entry.
 Development of the lands was com menced by the operators, MT. Lane says, under a mistaken view of the law, and if the government exercises its full right in dealing with them it will bankrupt and do an unnecessary injustice to many who have invested millions of dollars.
 Reviewing the circumstances which led up to the actual development of the lands, the secretary says:
 Tt was the opinion of many mem bers at the Bar that the withdrawal of 1909 was void and the operators proceeded to act in accordance with this advice. The result was that when the second withdrawal was made in 1910 there were a large number of operators engaged in drill ing. The government insisted upon the 1909 withdrawal, and by a de-
 
 preme court sustained the govern ments contention, so that today those who are not engaged in actual development of the lands at the time of the first withdrawal have no legal title.
 'T shall not assume to say what policy should be followed as to the naval reserves, but as to the other withdrawn lands, I believe congress- should so act as to recognize the equitable rights of those operators. This might be done by saying that those who would today be entitled to patent were the land not withdrawn. may have leases under which they will pay a liberal royalty to the government. This plan will doubt less be urged. I am of the opinion that it is too liberal. We might draw a line at the time of the second withdrawal. If this were done, leases could be made upon a royalty fixed by congress to all who are actually operating upon this land at that time.
 'I feel that this is one of those situations often arising in the life of individual and of the state when it is not wise to exact all that the law allows, even as to those who are in the wrong"

AMERICANS IN FRANCE HOLD
 THANKSGIVING
[RepublIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

PARIS, Nov 24.-The Thanksgiv- ing even dinner of the American club tonight was marked by expression on the part of the French speakers of gratitude for the aid and sympathy rendered France by the people of the United States.
 Alexandre Ribot, minister of fi- nance. had been invited to attend the dinner as guest of honor. but he was unable to be present owing to fla tigue incident to his work on the French loan. In a letter M. Ribot sent his regrets and expressed his thanks to the people of the United States for their help 'in this terrible contest in behalf of civilization" At the same time, he expressed wishes for the prosperity of the United States. He declared that France had chosen Thanksgiving as the day for her loan victory" The Prince of Monaco was selected to supersede M. Ribot as guest of honor. Speaking first in Perfect English and then in French, the Prince of Monaco paid graceful compliment to the United States for its love of labor and wor- ship of peace and tribute to its grandeur and progress. It could set France an example. he said, by its courage and energy
 William Graves Sharp. the Amer ican ambassador, spoke of the les son contained in the thrift of the French people that had stood the country in good stead in the hour of need. He said M. Ribot's call for gold and the response it received had made a lasting impression on his mind. The attitude of the French to the request of M. Ribot to aid their country was. Mir Sharp said remarkable. It showed the financial strength of France and he was mak- ing aa report on it to the United States. IL was, the ambassador de- clared, an example of real moral regeneration
 Before it is too late. said Mir Sharp, let us learn from France a lesson of self denial. France com- mands the admirat ton of the world and while we are offering up tho thanks let us not forget that ws ought to remember our sorrowins brothers and give them our love. ouI sympathy and our aid"

 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 24.-The federal grand jury Investigating the attempted smuggling of Chinese into this port on the liner Mongolia on which S6 celestial stowaways were dis covered, was said to have heard tes- timony today to the effect that S7S,- 800 would have been distributed among the conspirators if the S6 contraband aliens had been landed.
 The inquisitors were told, it is said that $500 head was the price paid for Chinese actually set ashore and that the 'collections'' were split many ways both whites and Chinese sharing. The grand jury also learned, according to report, that many Chinese have been landed in the past by having the stow aways masqueraded as members of the crew, who were under bond and were permitted certain liberties in the way of shore leave which made it co.epar- atively easy for them to pass the inn migration guard.
