Captain Won Papen Declares "Idiotic
Yankees" Refers to Editors.
San Francisco.-C Captain Franz Won
Papen, military attache to the German
embassy at Washington, who is here
with Prince Won Hatzfeldt of the en-
bassy taking in the exposition, denies
that the expression "idiotic Yankees"
contained in the letter entrusted to
]. F. J. Archibald and intercepted by
the British authorities, was intended
to apply to the American people.
"The much-discussed letter was to
my wife," he said. "In passing it may
be said that publishing a mans letter
to his wife is deuced bad form. When
the British authorities at Falmouth
found these letters on Mr.. Archibald
they bounced with avidity on the two
words that have made all this trouble.
"They published only an excerpt of
my letters, thus changing its meaning
entirely. My wife, or any one else,
reading the letter from start to finish
would have gathered that the express
sion idiotic Yankees referred to the
publishers of a New York newspaper
THE journal had been calling us
conspirators and other Objectionable
epithets. 1t grew especially vehement
after a portfolio containing certain Of
our private papers had been stolen
from one of our men on the train. In
writing to my wife l dealt with these
publications. Not a word did the
British publish about these parts Of
my letter."

PENSIONS EXCEED
THE INTERNAL REVENUE
More Than Two Millions Is Paid Out
to War Survivors In the State
of Washington.

The 100000 internal revenue col
lected by the federal government from
this state during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1915, is exceeded by the pen
sions which Uncle Sam paid to war
survivors in the state.
The annual report of the pension
commissioner states that pensioners in
the state of Washington received ST.
COS, 748.7S during the year, this being
distributed among 9075 individuals.
Veterans of the civil war died at the
rate of 81 day last year, says the re-
port, and of total of 2 213.365 who
enlisted for service in the war only
396,370 survive. This means that of
the great army which defended the
north, 1,816,995 have died, including
those who were killed in battle, died
of wounds or other cause and who
have died since the war ended.
Pensioners and the annual payments
/ that are made to them are as follows
| Civil war 691 ,606 $156,668,771

475,637, of which $4.614,643,267 is on
account of the civil war. This includes
money paid to survivors and their de

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

A feature Of the situation Is the
continued relative improvement in
business. There is a good, steady de-
mand in progress along normal lines
for fall business following the extra
impetus impaired to mercantile in
terests in the stocking up Of house
holds upon the return of the sum-
mer-outers. The betterment that is
noted in manufacturing and whole
sale centers is also indicated in an
expension of demands in all sections
of the country. The number of In
terests that continue to show the eff
fects of conservatism are getting
fewer.
In the lumber trade which has not
been favorably affected by the war
in Europe, business shows some i'm
provement, and in some instances il
is reported that a higher price has
been secured on acquisitions, and
there is a prospect Of gradual pick
ing up of business and prices.
Butter-The butter market is fair
ly active, with prices holding as for
merly, at 29@32c for Washington
creamery. Supplies are moderate
and the undertone of the situation
well maintained.
Eggs-The egg market still holds
in rather a demoralized condition
While arrivals of fresh ranch stocks
are light, there has been enough tt
meet the demand up to the presen
time. AS to prices, the figures still
remain at $SQ8.5O wholesale.
Cheese-Market shows no change
Business rather quiet at tic for trip
let's and 19c for cream brick.
Fresh Meats-Following a rathe
demoralized condition in the fresl
meat trade for several weeks, price,
have been declined on pork to LOG
1Ohc, steer beef 9@9hc, cow bee
s@shc, mutton 1O@12c and LAM

Relief From Uncertainty.

Iondon.--A dispatch from Sofia da-
ted September "a gives the semi-offi-
cial statement issued on that day;
"The entry of Bulgaria into state
of armed neutrality is, according to
the view in government circles, eX-
planned by changes which occurred re-
Gently in the political and military sit
uation.
Bulgaria has not the slightest ag-
gressive intention, but is resolved to
be armed to defend her rights. Fol
lowing the example of Holland and
Switzerland, Bulgaria is obliged, in
view of the movement of troops eff
fected by her neighbors and the dan
ger threatening her from the fact OF
the Austro-German offensive against
Serbia to proclaim armed neutrality
while continuing conversations with
the representatives of the two bel
ligerent groups"
Greece Maintains Treaties.
Athens, via London.-King Constan
tine and Premier Venizelos, at a con
ference, have reached complete
agreement in regard to both the steps
already taken by the government ant
the measures which are demanded tt
meet the Balkan situation.
These measures include mainten
ance of Greece's treaty obligations.
Great relief has been caused
throughout Greece by the order call
ing for the mobilization Of the army
The people apparently are glad to ex
change the uncertainties of polite
for the possibility of war. 1t is ger
orally believed in unofficial circle
that struggle eventually betwee
Greece and Bulgaria can not be avoit

Mobilization is now under way, pro
ceeding quietly. The people are b.
wildered, not knowing whittier it ma
lead them.
