HUNDREDS PAY HONOR
TO MEMORY OF LATE
WARDEN HARRY M|NTO
Many Beautiful Floral Offer
ings Made at Services at
Salem Elks Lodge

The last sad rites over the mortal re-
mains of tine late Harry Mimic were
performed at 10 o'clock this morning
under the auspices of the Benevolent
and Protective Order of the Elks, while
hundreds of sorrOwing relatives and
friends packed the lodge rooms to suf-
location and jammed the street outside.
The fact that every acquaintance of
Harry Minto was his firm friend drew
many to the services to pay tribute to
his memory and expressions of sympa'
thy and regret have been on every
tongue since the tragedy.
As a fearless officer and an honor
able and upright citizen, Harry Minto
had made hundreds of friends through
out the northwest who were panied to
hear of his demise and his closest
friends in Marion county where he
spent his boyhood and official life
joined the members of the immediate
family around the bier of the man
who inspired truth, honor and justice,
and who carried out these principles
throughout his career.
John II. McNary delivered the eulogy
at the services and spoke at length up
on the official career of the deceased
when was known to all as fearless,
blameless and unmarried by single
blot. Mr.. McNary said he had known
Harry Minto since boyhood and would
like to dwell at length upon the days
when the two were Youngsters together
but as he was to speak only upon the
official acts, he refrained. As county
sheriff while Mr.. McNary was prose
cutor for tie county he said he found
the deceased to be staunch upholder
of the law and the finest man he had
ever known.
Judge p. II. darcy Chaplin, of the
Salem Lodge of Elks delivered a touch
ing address which was followed by the
ritualistic ceremonies of the Elks lodge.

Mr.. Brown, a prominent figure in
state politics for many years, was

GERMANY HOLDS
HALFM|LL|0N0 OF
WAR PRISONERS

Berlin. Jan. 1.-(By wireless to London,
91 A. M).-The total number of prison
ers of war held in Germany at the end
of the year amounts to s13S officers and
57,s75 men.
This is shown in a summary issued
from headquarters today which points
out that the list does not include civil
ians informed in Germany nor the pris-
oners taken during the pursuit in Rus
sian Poland or those in transport.
OF the above total the French contrib
uted 1859 officers including seven gener-
ais. and 2159O5 men; the Russians 1915
officers, of which IS are generals, and
3O6, 290 men; the Belgians 612 officers, in
Guiding 8 generals. and 1882 men; ana
the British 4S2 officers and 1888 men.
Headquarters takes occasion to say
that the report that 1140 German officers
and 100 men are prisoners Of war. in
Russia, is misleading since this list in
cludes interned civilians. Probably not
more than Is per cent. of the total are
military prisoners. it is declared.
