NAVY UNFIT, MEYER
~Ex-Secretary of Navy Declares Sci
Force Useless for War.

Ex-Secretary of Navy Declares Sea
Force Useless for War.
New York.-The National Security
League brought it's two-day Peace and
Preparation Conference to a close
with a luncheon in the Hotel Aston at
which more than 1000 men and wo-
men listened with eager attention to
George Won L. Meyer, ex-Secretary of
the Navy, as he announced that the
navy of the United States was utterly
unfit for war with any first class ma
ton. Mr.. Meyer was interrupted
many times by applause, and the
loudest outburst came when he placed
the blame for what he termed the
present d~emoralized state of the navy
%squarely up to the present Secretary.
SIN calling attention to these de-
fects," he said, 81 have not done so
from a desire to criticise the present
head of the navy, although l do be-
lieve that he is responsible for the
demoralized condition of the person
mel and the decreased efficiency of the
navy"
The handclapping that greeted this
remark lasted for nearly half a min
ute.
In advancing his argument for a
greater navy Mr.. Meyer ~contended
that such a step would be the best
safeguard against war. He asserted
that we would have had no war with
Spain in 1908 if we had had four more
ships like the Oregon. With such
a powerful fighting force, he argued,
no nation at that time would have
dared to meet us. Spain would have
yielded without a fight and this coun-
try would have saved $500, 900, 900.
At the end of the speechmaking,
a resolution appealing to President
Wilson "to call to the early attention
of Congress the pressing need of
prompt and efficient action was
unanimously adopted. The resolution
was not as strong as had been ex-
pected in view of the announced pur-
pose of the conference to r if
necessary, a special session of Con-
gress.

NEW BLOW DEALT

U. S. Case Against Cash Regis
ter Company Upset
MAY FAIL TO aEcoNvIcT
Government Officials Dismayed by
Supreme Court Decision-Admit
That New Trial Seems Unlikely.

Washington.-The Federal Govern.
ment"s activity in bringing SUITS I'M
der the Sherman antitrust law re
ceived another serious setback, when
the United States Supreme Court de-
MED the Governments motion for a
writ of certiorari to review the 1udg-
ment and decree of the Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Sixth circuit In
the criminal cases against officials OF
the National Cash Register Company.
The action involves the conviction
of John H. Patterson, president OF the
company, and his associates. The
conviction was obtained by the Gov.
eminent in the Federal Court for the
Southern District of Ohio, but was
set aside by the Circuit Court OF APP
peals.
The Circuit Court ordered the cases
remanded for retrial, but rendered a
decree which, as viewed by Washing
ton officials, practically robs the Gov
eminent of most of the hope OF get
ting a new conviction. The probable
failure of the retrial of the cases was
freely admitted in Government cir
cles and it is doubtful if the cases
ever will be tried again.
The briefs of the Department of
Justice filed before the Supreme
Court practically conceded in advance
that an adverse decision would be
a hard blow to the work of the Gov
eminent in trying to bring about
criminal conviction under the Sher-
man law.
Officials of the Department were
dismayed by the decision. This case,
following so closely on the heels of
the decision favorable to the Steel
Corporation. S and other recent
antitrust decisions against the Gov
eminent, has raised in the minds of
Washington officials serious doubt as
to the future enforcement of the Sher-
man antitrust law along what they
regard as practical lines.

GERMANS BLOCK ARCHANGEL

KAIsER'S TROOPS CROSS THE DNIEsTER RIVER

London.-Germany has begun an
undersea blockade of Archangel, the
only Russian port on the open sea.
The first victim of this new block
ade was the British steamship Arm
dale OF 1888 tons, which has been
sunk by a mine or a submarine in
the White Sea.
Inc Arndale was carrying war sup
plies from England to Archangel, the
port having been free from ice only
since the beginning of June.
With the exception of the NUM-
lions she is able to bring across ST.
IBERIA, Russia is entirely dependent on
Archangel to receive wal supplies fur
nlshed by other countries.
Germany claimed another decided
success along the eastern line.
Northwest of Moscika, in the re-
glon OF Sieniawa, the German re-
port said that along a line extending
e forty-three miles the entire posi-
tons of the Russians were taken and
that 10000 prisoners fell into their
hands.
The Russian official report, how
ever, only mentioned the locality
where this action is said to have taken
place in the paragraph which declared
that the Austro-Germans, after heavy
losses in the region of Mosciska did
not resume the offensive.
On the western front the French
continue their battering tactics
against formidable German positions.
with some assistance from the Bel
gians, who have thrown a battalion
across the User to the east bank,
where, south of the Dixmude railway
bridge, they destroyed a German
blockhouse. They claim that they
have retained this position despite
German counter-attacks.
Berlin claims that the French suf-
fered a severe defeat on the front
north of Souchez, and Paris admits
the loss of German trenches previous
ly captured in that sector.
The full returns of the Greek cleo
lions are not yet available, but the
triumph of V~enizelos, former Premier.
seems certain. The continued illness
OF the Greek king may prevent the
victory of the war party from having
any immediate results.

Paris.-Continued advances by the
Austro-G German forces in Galicia led
to the belief that this great drive
is being pushed so that, with the Rus
slams taken care of, a vigorous often
sive can be pressed against Italy. The
invaders then would dig themselves In
and hold the captured territory, as
they did in Poland, France and Bel
GUM.
This impression is supported by the
fact that $4,000 Austro-Hungarian
troops have been dispatched from
Trent to begin the first assault on the
Italian invaders just inside the
border.
Mosciska, on the line of the railway
between Przemysl and Lemberg, upon
which the efforts of the Austro-Ger-
mans have been centred since the fall
of Przemysl, has been captured, a u
cess which again puts Lemberg in
peril. Mosciska lies about twenty
miles east of Przemysl, and is almost
in a direct line with the Galician CAPT
tai, against which all the energies OF
General Won M~ackensen, the German
commander, are being directed.
All the Russian attacks and coun-
ter-attacks are said to have been re-
pulsed, and gains for the Austro-Ger-
mans north of Przemysl into Bessa-
rabia have been made.
General Won Mackensen has tele-
graphed the German Emperor that he
hopes to capture Lemberg before July
l, according to a dispatch to London
from Amsterdam.
But Notwithstanding this optimistic
view there are still many obstacles in
the way of victory to the Austro-Ger-
man arms in the Przemysl-Lemberg
sector of Galicia, for the Russians hold
strongly fortified positions many
miles in front of Lemberg and will,
in addition, have the advantage of
about, including a chain of lakes and
marshes.
All along the Galician front heavy
fighting is in progress, and the Austro-
Germans, according to their reports,
are still gaining ground everywhere,
with the capture of Russian positions,
men and equipment.
Indications that heavy fighting is
continuing in the region about Arras
are obtained from both the French
and the German official communica-
ton, but these reports are somewhat
at variance.
Berlin asserts that between LEVIN
and Arras an attack in close forma-
ton by the French was put down
with heavy losses, while Paris de-
clares that in the sectors of Lorette
and Melville German infantry attacks
were repulsed and that to the north
of Melville several German lookout
posts were captured.
An admission is made by Berlin
that the Germans have been unsuc-
cessful in their attempts to retake
trenches recently lost by them north
west of Moulin-Sous-Toutvent

TEUToNs CROSS DNlEsTER.

London. - Austro-German armies,
attacking at many points all the way
from the Baltic in the North to the
Observation-Disclosures frontier in the
south, launched a fresh drive against
the Russians. So widespread a move
ment is taken by military observers
to indicate a weakening of the Cars
defensive operations and a temporary
halt in the offensive movement which
seemed likely to accomplish results.
On the Baltic the fortunes OF war
are about equal, each side at various
times holding the advantage.
In Galicia the Germans, having
been checked in their effort to reach
Lemberg from the south, have start
ed an attack on the Russians on the
River San, to the north of Przemysl.
The Austro-German attack on the
Dniester in southeast Galicia has met
with important and favorable results,
for the Russian official report admits
that the enemy crossed the river at
several points. 1t is along this broad
stream that the opposing armies nave
been facing each other in a deadlock
for several days.
The movement in the southeast re-
sembles that which failed further up
the Dniester, at Zurwana, but is OF
a wider scale. The right wing OF the
Austro-G German army is only twenty
miles from the Rumanian frontier,
while it's left wing reaches as far as
Halicz, where many attacks have
been delivered against a b~ridgehead.
simultaneously, the Germans are
proceeding with their attack on the
Russian centre on the River Rawka,
west of Warsaw, where they have al
SO been successful, according to their
report.

Baby Home Asks
Aid Thanksgiving

Portland, Oregon, November |, 1915.
Mr.. Editor and Proprietors:
AS you may know, there is an insti-
tuition in Portland called "The Baby
Home, which was incorporated
twenty-siX years ago and which has
done most excellent work. as we be-
lieve, in the care of babies under three
years of age. This institution is sup
ported in part by the state of Oregon,
but the principal support has come from
the citizens in and about Portland, al
though the inmates of the home are
brought to US from every county in the
state. We receive no pay from the
father or mother who places the child
in the home, as in doing so we would
receive nothing from the state. Some
times they show their appreciation by
making small donations.
The expense of running the home is
about $1,000 per month. There are sixty
babies there, superintendent, seven
or eight day nurses, one night nurse,
one laundryman and the yardman. Our
premises occupy about three acres in
the outer portion of the city just south
of Sunnysidc.
We are not in debt but we have to
raise about $3.50 each month to pro.
vide salaries (the officers of the board
receive no pay, food, heating lighting
and necessary appliances about the
home, costing us last year 1856 per
month for each child. This you may
think is high figure, but we are un.
der state supervision and subject to
state inspection, and the state insists
on the most modern appliances, exper-
fenced nurses, and everything that
tends to the latest system in the care
of babies. AS a result, these little
ones although coming to us poorly
nourished and sometimes of poor par.
entage, soon grow into life and activity
and are adopted out into good homes
where they become excellent citizens.
In the. twenty.siX years of our ex.
istence as baby home we have cared
for more than 400 of these little ones.
Our death rate is the lowest of anv
institution of its kind in the United
States.
The average number in the home is
sixty. The average number received
| SuNh moHth 10 lCn, ana lHp average
number given out either for adoption
or returned to one or both parents is
about the same.
Our desire is to give some sort of
publicity to these facts that the people
throughout the state of Oregon may
know there is such valuable institu
tion in their midst, and that they may
feel and cooperate in the work of ii
At our last meeting it was thought
letter might be addressed to each Of
the more Influential journals of the
state asking that on Thanksgiving
Day we might be given a Shower; not
shower of rain, but a Shower of
small things necessary for the home
such as clothing, food supplies, includ
ing flour, fruits, iellies, etc, or money

prefer to send checks in small amounts
any Of which would be very acceptable
at this time. The home is non-sectar.
