RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM

and British troops have been landed
at Saloniki. a Gerek port so miles
south OF the Bulgarian frontier. and
bulgarian troops. which have been on
the move for days. have been massed
in great numbers along the Servian
border.
Form the central powers side have
come amplified reports of the great
weight of men and metal being piled
up preparatory to a blow against Ser
via from that side as the first step in
what the popular imagination is ac-
cepted as fact-German determine
ton to smash through the corner of
Servia and link up with Bulgaria. ere
citing a new battle front from the Aus
trian border TO Constantinople.
Delayed cables told OF the landing
OF the allied troops at Saloniki. With
these reports arrived comments from
the Athens papers. the gist Of which
was that the appearance Of French and
British soldiers in Greece at a time
when Greece was still outwardly neu-
trail should cause no excitement, In
tha THEIR mission was, as one of the
Athens papers expressed IL. ito defend
the railway against Bulgarian aggres-
sion and give help to Servia, the ally
OF Greece"
The Greek minister at London re-
fused to comment on the report that
the Hellenic government considered
the landing OF the allied troops a vio-
lation of neutrality and had formally
protested to Great Britain and France
Retake Redoubts.
In the west the Germans have per
sisted in their driving counter attacks
against the British until thty have re-
taken most OF the Hohenzollern re-
doubts. This is admitted by Field
Marshal French's latest report, but IL
is not claimed specifically by the Ger
mans themselves. possibly becaust OF
the fact that the loss OF this strong
hold was never conceded by Berlin.
That asphyxiating gas was used by
the British in their recent offensive is
the charge circulated by Berlin. The
British war office has made no state
ment regarding the truth or falsity OF
this. The German claim that the Brit
ish lost $4,000 and the French 10000
men in the recent fighting also is with
out denial so far.

than 40 miles an hour. In size they
will equal the largest American
ureadnaughts now building and far eX-
coed any now afioat
The armament has not been decided
upon. but it probably will be equal on
greater than that of present day dread
naughts. IL Is understood that some
officers believe each ship should carry
twelve II inch. so calibre rifles, but il
is possible that a lesser number of
guns may be mounted, or that the
new 16 inch rifle. the largest naval
guns yet developed, may be used. In
that case probably only six or eight
big guns would be mounted.
All Estimates Considered.
All the items or the forthcoming
navy estimates were considered at to-
days conference. Secretary Daniels
declined TO disclose other details of
plans. He intimated. however. that a
building program for the submarine
fiotilla would be urged that would
make possible an inner line of defense
along both coasts. to be maintained by
submersibles operating from bases es-
tablished at necessary intervals on
both the Atlantic and Pacific shore
lines. The secretary said that recent
IL when submarines were at the height
OF their activity in the European war
the pendulum OF public opinion had
swung too far in favor of submarines,
and that the tendency now would be
10 swing IL too far the other way.
The navy plans, he declared. would not
make either error. He added that the
value OF submersibles for defense OF
the wide reaches Of coast line on both
shores could hardly be overestimated.
Battle cruisers have not been rec
commended by the general board of
the navy except once, some years ago.
Recent maneuvers. IL is said. have
brought out sharply the need Of both
swift scouts and fighting ships. It is
regarded as improbable that the esti-
mates this year will include recon-
mendations for any considerable num-
Der Of scouting craft aside from the
cruiser destroyers which have been
included in appropriation bills for sew
eral years. For the present, II Is
thought the cruiser destroyers can fill
the places OF specially designed scouts.
although later many high-speed light
er cruisers will be sought to round out
the navy.

CALLED EARLY TO
PREPARE DEFENSE

WASHINGTON. July 27.-secretary
of War Garrison has called into con.
ference Assistant Secretary Breck-
enridge. General Scott and General
Bliss to go over tentative drafts Of
an army reorganization plan which
he expects to submit to the president
upon the latter's return to Washing
ton. Despite Garrison's protest here
is no hurry up" progam Of national
defense in view, there are indications
that the war department is losing no
time. Persistent rumors that an ex-
ira session of congress will be called
are unverified, but 1t is believed the
president desires congress to con-
vene about October first in order to
get an ealy start at working out de-
fense problems.
Such plans may be dropped if the
situation reaches a point
where the calling of an extra session
causing a misunderstanding abroad,
might defeat diplomacy and add to the
danger. Garrison denied he knows
of the existence of a secret formult
which an army officer is quoted as
saving "will surprise the Germans ?"

retary.

ECHO, Ore. Suly 27.-An lntesest-

last week on the old James Taylor
place about one and one half miles
above Echo, being a four and one
half pound solid iron cannon ball,
three and one-fourth inches in d.
ameter.
In early days Fort Henrietta stood
just across the Umatilla river from
where the town of Echo stands. The
old fort was equipt with two brass
cannon which were thrown into the
we'll and the well filled up at the time
the well was abandoned by the whites
in 1857, to keep them from falling
into the hands of the Indians.
A short time afterwards the In
dians burned the fort but they did
not recover the cannon and they are
generally supposed to still be at the
bottom of the old well The exact To-
cation of which no one now knows.
1t is highly probable that this can
non ball was at one time fired from
one of the old cannon.
