Sinking Of American Merchant
Ship Declared Error.
BERLIN BLAMES BRITISH PATROL BOATS
American Flag Not Seen Until Tor.
pedo Is Discharged-Regret Is
Expressed for Mistake.

Washington, d. C.-Germany, in
note cabled to the State department
Saturday by Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin, expresses regrets that through
Fan unfortunate accident" German
submarine had torpedoed the American
steamship Gulfight and declared itself
"ready to furnish full recompense for
the damage thereby sustained by
American citizens.
In the same communication the Ger
man foreign office said it had not yet
been possible to clear up fully the case
of the American steamer Cushing, re-
ported attacked by a German aero
plane, and asked that the United
States communicate the information in
its possession concerning this incident.
Blame for the attack of the Gulf
light was placed by the foreign Office
on the proximity of two British patrol
boats and the absence from the
steamers freeboard of the distinctive
markings usually carried by neutral
ships in the war zone. "That the at
tackled steamers carried the American
flag, the note ADDS, was nrst oD-
served at the moment of firing the
shot,"
The Gulfiight was torpedoed in the
English Channel five weeks ago, while
bound from Port Arthur, Tex, for
Rouen, France, with oil. She was
towed to Crows Sound and beached
for repairs. Two seamen were
drowned when the crew took to the
boats Immediately after the attack and
the captain died of heart trouble next
day.
The expressions of regrets and offers
of reparation in the note follow the
principle outlined in the circular re-
Gently sent to neutral nations by Ger
many, disclaiming any intention of at
tacking neutral vessels carrying nom
contraband cargoes.

to put the big guns out Of commission
at Fort Worden and Fort Flagley,
guarding the entrance to Puget Sound,
was made several days ago, it became
known here, and as result all visitors
have been barred from the forts in
this district.
1t is reported that breech blocks Of
four guns were removed and the load
ing mechanism damaged. Officers at
the forts have endeavored to keep the
matter secret.
The discovery followed report that
Fort Worden had been photographed in
details by persons who had surrepti-
tiously entered the grounds. The pho
tographs gave the relative locations of
the big guns and the hidden batteries.
1t is said that the War department,
hearing Of the photographing Of the
forts, sent two secret service men here
to investigate. 1t is reported they
found no trouble in gaining entrance to
the batteries and the subsidiary sta
tions connected with the defenses.
Up to the time of these discoveries
automobiles with sightseers were per-
mitted to visit the elevation where the
batteries are located, but new orders
have been issued forbidding any per-
son to visit the batteries without a
special permit from the commanding
officer, and such permits will be limit
ed, and those who receive them will be
accompanied by guard.

Coos Bay Channel Dries Up.

Marshfeld-T Port of Coos Bay
recently expended several thousand
dollars in opening the canal between
Coos Bay and North Inlet landing and
the job was contracted to be done so
that three feet of water would be as
sured at mean low water. From the
inlet proper to North Inlet landing is a
distance of four miles, and this water
way had been the avenue over which
all the railroad material used in the
Beale Lake and Tenmile region was
routed. The Port Commission ordered
Strengthening of the channel between
the bay and the inlet, mile in dis
tance.
The job had been finished but two
weeks and at low water the newly-dug
channel is dry for distance of 500
feet in the middle of the cutoff. There
is heavy traffic over the route and the
port will order a new amountof dredg-
ing to maintain the desired three feet
at low water, which would give serv-
ice at any stage of time.

ho feature of the evening.
At the business meeting at the
home of Mrs. Winchester yesterday
afternoon. the delegates to the con-
vention were addressed by Miss Lucy
Burns, vice-president and chairman
Of the union. "The head OF any
national ticket" she said, cannot af-
ford to go to the polls with the op-
position Of our million women. 1t
is time for women to stop thinking in
terms Of state and think in terms of
nation, which can be best accomplish
ed by a united demand ON Congress
which will result in the adoption of
the Bristow-Mondell resolution"
Miss Burns said she did not agree
with the National Woman Suffrage
Association, which is supporting the
Palmer-Shaffroth bill "It is extra
ordinary that anybody should have
started this bill for Federal amend
ment." she said.
Mrs. Hilles criticised the national
association for its failure to live up
to its promises that it would be nom
partisan and would try TO defeat at
the polls all the opposition to suf-
frage. The policy of the union. she
said, is TO hold the party in power
responsible for failure to pass favor
able suffrage bills and that they
would give united support to the
party that would recognize them at
the polls.
Mrs. Edna Latimer, national organizer
for the union in Maryland declared tn,
Legislatures of several States fully

sonnel and certain progressive lcgisla

of 1914 completed the twelve months
treatment and that in only one pa
tient had there been observed this
year evidence of a recurrence. None
of the non-pellagra inmates of the
institution, all Of whom also follow
ed the prescribed diet, developed
symptoms of the disease.
Similar results were reported from
the Georgia sanitarium.
In announcing the success of the
treatment the public health service
recommended that the people in com
munities where pellagra is prevalent
increase their diet of animal and
leguminous foods, particularly dur
ing the late winter and spring when
the disease is particularly dangerous
and likely to spread. Ownerships of
milk cows, increase of milk, poul-
try and egg production for home con-
sumption and a reduction in the
diet Of starchy foods is especially
urged.
An exhaustive review of data re-
lating to the diet of workingmen's
families, particularly among the poor
er classes who suffer most from pei
lagra, has been made by the service
in connection with its study of the
disease. This tends to show that the
rise in the cost of food bears directly
upon the increased prevalence OF
pellagra, as it makes it harder FOR
the poor families to obtain general
diet Of healthful foods.

GERMAN COTTON is
SEIZED BY ITALY

New York, oct. 2i.-American cot
ton valued at approximately $4,000
OoO, shipped from the United States
and consigned to Germany, is in
possession of the Italian government
according to Capt. j. w. Bachelor OF
the Liverpool Salvage association,
who arrived here today on the steam
ship Baltic from Liverpool. Captain
Eatchelor said that he recently came
from Italy where he was looking af-
ter this cotton. For several months,
he said, previous to Italy joining
the allies, all cotton consigned to
Germany through Italy was detained.
One of the last preteXts used was
that there was a shortage of cars and
to overcome this Germany sent to
Italy a large consignment of rolling
stock. Italy is in possession of both
cars and cotton.
Captain Bachelor is going to the
Pacific coast to look after ships that
his company is interested in.

EFFECT OF THE WAR
ON BAHAMA ISLANDS

Nassau, Bahama Islands, British
West Indies, Oct. 25.-(Correspond-
ence of the Associated Press -
Though properly part of the British
West Indies, the Bahama islands
have faced problems peculiar to them
selves as a result of the European
war, notably the problem Of provid
ing their own foodstuffs, whereas,
prior to the war, they had relied
almost entirely upon imports.
Unlike the islands to the south, the
Bahamas have neither the soil nor
the climate for the free growth of
tropical fruits, though some, of course,
are grown. The chief product here
has been sponge, and next tc that, of
late years, sisal for fibre. The grow
ing of other products has been small,
population are engaged in the sponge
industry, but there is also this factor,
that the islanders have an exceptional
tendency to buy foreign or imported
food rather than accept the home
grown products, even when the latter
are superior. For instance, women
and children and some of the men
grow sisal for fibre and clean it by
hand, and spend the few cents they
have earned in this laborious under
taking in the purchase of foreign
foodstuffs that pay a duty OF 20 per
cent This tendency has been en-
couraged and made the most of by the
as it increased their trade,
and also by the government, as it gave
so much more revenue.
In view OF these facts, when the
war in Europe began, and the big
sponge export to England was en-
tirely stopped and the fibre industry
was also hit hard, the Bahamas found
themselves in the position of produc-
ing practically nothing that was sale
able, while, on the other hand, the
price of imported food products that
the people had been relying on to
such an extent, rapidly advanced.
The government, in view of the
