Germany to Bar Ford.

Berlin, via London, Dec. s. - The
German pres streats the Ford peace
mission only as a manifestation Of
American ecentricity. Local opinion is
that the mission will have but slight
chance Of exerting It's efforts In Ger
many or other belligerentaennntries In
view Of the fact that the passports OF
it's members are good only for neutral
countries. ~
It would be possible, OF course, for
Germany to relax it's regulations and
permit the Ford party to enter Ger
many without passports, but in view
of the German knowledge that the
mission comes without OFFICIAL inspira-
t;on nr the annrnval Of :,sSSii ton
1t is unlikely to do 80.

Washington, Dec. S.-Emperor Will
lain has a personal interest in the
withdrawal of Capt. Karl Boy-Ed and
Capt. Franz Won Papen, attaches of the
German embassy here.
State department officials have been
informed that as the attaches were
personally appointed by Emperor VIII
liam he personally will give the order
for their withdrawal
1t is understood that officials think
it probable that the Berlin foreign Of
flee was prompted to ask why the
United States asked their withdrawal
SO that when the report is made to the
emperor 1t may be complete in all de-
tails.
1t was reported that Ambassador ven
Bernstorff would not be able to inform
Secretary Lansing that his order would
be complied with before Saturday at
the earliest.
Would Guarantee Safe Conduct.
Any applications for safe conduct for
Captain Boy-Ed and Captain Won
Papen will be considered solely as a
request from the United States, by the
allied countries. At first the allied
representatives were inclined to treat
the two officers merely as enemy SOL
diers, once they were deprived Of their
official positions.
If the United States takes the ground
that it is responsible for the return Of
the two deposed officers to Germany,
the allied countries would refrain from
interfering, but might ask that the men
give their parole that they would not
serve actively during the. war.

TIMBER SALES ON THE
NATIONAL FORESTS IN 1914

The district forester at Portland.
announces that during the fiscal year
1914. there were 521 timber sales
made from the national forests in
Oregon, and 142 from the Forests in
Washington. This represents 24,594
#. b. NJ. for oregon and 1s9,146, 600
#. B. NJ. for Washington.
A superficial consideration of these
figures is apt to be misleading; but
the district forester points out that
study of the forest service records
and of the conditions in the two
states will show that the figures are
normal. In Washington, the forests
are mainly in the Douglas fir region
west OF the Cascades, and are not as
accessible as the east side, more op-
en- yellow pine forests. Generally
speaking, logging in this type Of for
est requires large investment Hence
the sales are fewer in number. but
larger in volume OF board feet. Then
too, most of the settlers on the west
side have their own woodlots, and
buy little government timber. In
Oregon, a large proportion Of the ma
tional forests are east OF the Cas-.
cades in the yellow pine region. Here
In the dry region. most of the timber
Is on the national forests, and both
settlers and lumbermen are depend
nnt upon the national forests for
their needs. When these facts are
the excess of timber sales
in one section over another Is easily
explained.

NAUGHTON WILL

R.TRI UMPIRE
PENDLETON'S STAR SECOND
SACKER JOINS PORTLAND
COAST LEAGUE.

That George Naughton. Pendleton's
star second sacker, will make good
next season on the Portland Coast
league team. is the opinion of Jimmie
Richardson. former Western Tri-state
league umpire and scout for the Nc
Credies who was in Pendleton yester-
day. II he does not hold down a reg
ular position, he will serve as utility
infielder. thinks Richardson, and will
get in a great number OF games.
II was largely through the instru.
mentality OF Richardson that McCre-
die gave Naughton a contract. The
scout. while umpire in the local league
two years ago, was much impressed
with Naughtons work, despite the
fact that he was in no physical con-
dition then TO do himself justice. Last
year he was 100 per cent better and
echoes of his work for Pendleton
reached Portland.
''Naughton's one weak point is his
peg home" said Jimmie yesterday
"and that was Bill Rogers
weak point too. Portland needs him
most as a leadoff man for that is one
place where McCredie is weak now
and 1t is one OF Naughtons best
points. He has a great baseball head.
too. fields his position well, is a
crack baserunner and a good man at
bat"
Richardson takes no stock OF the
report in Portland papers that Nc
Credie will try to make a third base
man out OF Naughton. He thinks II
Is just newspaper dope to fill up the
winter columns. Bobby Davis looks
like a fixture at third next year." he
said.
Naughton is now in Caldwell, Ida
30, and Richardson states he has just
had letter from him stating that he
has not touched a ball since last sea-
son and is getting himself in good
shape. "Naughton doesn't like the
dea of playing utility" said Richard
ION, but the man who plays utility
'or Portland will know he is in the
game. Davis played utility last year
md was in 10 games, McCredie
doesn't believe in making a bench

on needn't fear but that he will get
