FLETCHER PROUD
 OF THE U. 5. NAVY
Sons of Revolution Tender Naval Officers With
 Entertainment

New York, May 11.-Pride in the United States navy and confidence that if called upon to vindicate the honor of the ma ton it would uphold the heroic traditions of it's past were voiced at a luncheon rendered today to Admiral Fletcher and the officers of the Atlantic feet-at F'raun- ces tavern by the Sons of the Revolu- ton The occasion was one of many events arranged for the entertainment of the fleet during it's visit here and was followed tonight by reception to the officers at the New York Yacht club.
 The enlisted men. meanwhile were again enjoying to the full the baseball and theatre parties which are a daily fea- ture of the entertainment provided by the citizens committee.
 The guests for the luncheon assembled in the historic room, where George Wash ington parted from his officers and Wash ington, as the first combgkaj bqgkqjjr of the United States navy, was in part the theme of the addresses.
 James M. Beck, former attorney general, the principal speaker, declared that if Washington had been present. he would share with us the pride and gratifica- ton that we all take in the navy of the United States and in the confident ex- pectation that if the time should ever come when that navy would be obliged to vindicate by force the honor ol the United States, every member from the admiral on the bridge to the humblesi stoker in the engine room would unite in passing along as flaming torch to the next generation the noble and heroic tra- ditions of the American navy. Admiral Fletcher voiced the apprecia- Al fA.. Ix welcome rendered them here and dis cussed the training accorded to the en- listed men. He said that the atmosphere under which they grew up was whole some one.
 There was no abatement today in tho throngs of sightseers who visited the wa ter front to view the fleet at anchor ir the river

TALKS ON THRIFT
Becoming an Investor

Thrift when it begins to take root, IS plant of rapid growth. .''-George Wash ington
 The National City bank of Chicago has a "Savings Investment club designed to encourage savings depositors to become investors in bonds. When a depositor has $50 to his credit the bank will lend him $50 at the current rate of interest and he can buy a s10O bond. selecting the bond himself The bank holds the bond as col lateral security for the $50 loan, and the customer continues his savings deposits till he is able to pay the S5O note. Then he can start the process again and buy sec ond bond The plan is sound. It's main advantage to the depositor Is that most Of his sa wings draw bond interest instead of savings bank interest If the income yield of the bond is higher than the interest rate he pays the bank on his $50 note, he makes further profit. If the yield of the bond and the interest on the note are equal. the transaction will reach the same result as if he bought two $50 bonds, one after the other.
 The same plan is conducted by other banks, including the Wisconsin National bank of Milwaukee. The latter insttu- tion offers the same arrangement propor- tionately to savings depositors who wish to buy $500 and 5000 bonds.
 Even if the banks where you are located are not in a position to assist you in just this way you can soon put yourself in position to take advantage of favor able investment opportunities now exist ing.
 A good bond will pay you a steady in- come. It will be good collateral for a loan, or will form nest egg for more bonds Even though you have saved nothing as yet, you can own $100, s2O0 or $5CO bond in 52 weeks.
 Become now regular weekly saver at some bank. Pledge yourself to make 52 weekly deposits of sum you can man. age to set aside. When you have ac- cumulated some capital, choose your bond upon good advice, and then. set about saving for another. and keep it up. It is always better to be lender than a bor- rover certain western city has a city hall built 25 years ago at a cost of about $1 100000. It has now paid out as much in bond interest as the cost of the buildinr and still owes every cent of the principal. Many an individual is handling his own indebtedness in the same foolish way. If you are in that class stop borrowing from others. Stop borrowing from your own future Save your money and become a lender You will be rewarded T. D. MACGREGOR.

New York, May n.-(Special.) l.)-The ren- resentatves of the six nations who uh- dertool1 in cooperation, to perfect neso- tiations by which loan could be mace to China at first of si25,0o0,oo0 and uiti- matelv as much as ssoO GOO COG, and who met at Paris in 1912 are undoubtedly now scru- tinizing the agreement which was at that time made At the head of the council table sat Henry P, Davison, who repre- sented American financiers and American interests. He had some reason for sur mising that some of the representatives
 one at least would be glad if there could be such arrangement as would enable enc or more of the nations to have free hand in China. MT. Davison' was acting not only for men of finance and men of capi- tai in the United States who might make investments, in China, but also, indirectly at least. for the Secretary of State, Phil ander C. Knox It was in fact due to Secretary Knox's appeal that the United States, through MT. Davison and others
 was persuaded to participate in this ne- gotiaton. The chief purpose which ami mated Secretary Knox and with which Mir. Davison was inspired when he met these representatives was, first, to secure agreement that the sovereignty and na- tional integrity of China should not be im- paired, and. second that the open door would be maintained every nation having an equal chance for opportunity to en- gage in trade or in the development of the natural resources or the .perfecting of transportation in China.
 Ii was an a achievement of real diplomacy not yet understood by the American peo- pie by which through the representative of the United States this absolute agree ment was made. It was in accord with the desire of the leaders in the new repub- lie of China. They realized that fnanc- ing involving large amounts of money was necessary in order to enable China to avail herself of her opportunities. In the

United States, China had confidence which was strengthened when the United States returned to China that part of the Boxer indemnity fund which remained unexpend- ed after there had been payment for actual losses
 Although in view of the attitude of the administration of President Wilson which was announced frankly by the state de- partment at the beginning of the new ad- ministration, the United States found it necessary to withdraw from the six-nation association, nevertheless the agreement which was made at the Paris conference was not affected by that wthdrawel. The normal support of the United States will continue to be given to the proposition that Chinese integrity and sovereignty shall not be impaired and that the open door for trade and opportunities shall be maintained
 The Question With China
 Excellent information has been received that within a year and a half, or two years at the most. the Chinese republic will have been well established, her finan- cial and currency system improved and the republic prepared for the great career which her able leaders and others who are not citizen sof China believe to be pos sible The European war may have made some difference so far as preparation is concerned China's markets where Ger many commanded a large trade are no longer open to Germany because at this time the German empire has no foreign trade to speak of So also Great Britain is deprived also of a considerable market in China and various causes have lead

Because Of the Inconvenience, and

the proposition of constructing q perm.
anent approach to the steel bridge,

talked Of. While one hears practically
Q unanimous expression of sentiment in

feeling 10 universal that the county
should bear q portion Of the expense of

that under the circumstances it would

In vieW Of repair and Q possible re-
construction Of the old wooden ap-

had plans Of steel or concrete ap-

of such work will reach q figure of ap-

As early as last Thursday Santa Claus
began to leave joy in the wake of his
visits In Hood River. Working as ser
wants Of the good old saint Of the Yule-
tide season, Mrs. 7. J. Kinnaird, Mrs.
Truman Butler. Mrs. Chss. n. Castner,
Mrs. W. A. Schaffner' and Mrs. William

day afternoon the presents were dis
tributed to needy families, every has
ket containing q fat chicken.
The community Christmas tree. erect
ed at the corner of Third and Oak
streets was wired on Friday by Ernest
Colby, and promptly at fall of darkness
the myriad Of colored electric bulbs
twinkled like fairy lights among the
branches of the 40 foot fir.
Scores of families from the country
remained In town that the children
might have q glimpse of an actual
Santa Claus. Oak and Third streets
were roped Off and it was estimated
that over 1000 people waited, while
the band played and the choruses sang,
for the coming of Wilmer Sieg, who,
riding In the automobile of Judge
Stanton. brought with him basketfuls
and tubfuls of candy and nuts. At the

A feature of Christmas decoration
that will astonish residents of the east
