Get a 10-cent box
 Colds-whether in the head or any part of the body-are quickly over come by urging the liver to action and keeping the bowels free of poison. Take Cascarets tonight and you will wake up with a clear head and your cold will be gone. Cascarets work while you sleep: they cleanse and regulate the somaCh, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated waste matter and poison from the bowels.
 Remember the quickest way to get rid of colds Is one or two Cascarets at night to cleanse the system. Get a 10-cent box at any drug store. Don't forget the children. They relish this Candy Cathartic and it is often all that is needed to drive a cold from their little systems.

American Cloud IS Passing

New York-That the difficulties be-

will be settled within fortnight, was
the opinion voiced by Count Won Berns-
torff, the German ambassador, at his
hotel here Thursday shortly after his
return from Washington. Approached
by newspaper man Count Won Berns-
torf said:
Ordinarily, I give only prepared
interviews over my signature. How
ever, I shall now make an exception.
You may say for me that ] am sure
that within fortnight all supposed
difficulties between the United States
and Germany will have been settled
and permanently settled. and the ma
tions will be more friendly than they
ever have been."
Count Won Brentsorff added that he
felt gratified over the outcome of his
conference with Secretary Lansing.
Later the ambassador amplified the
statement, saying:
SIN my opinion everything as re-
CARDS the situation between the Unit
ed States and Germany will be settled
within a fortnight. l do not expect to
have anything more to say with refer
ence to this matter in the next two

OREGON STATE NEWS
Sunday Closing Law Held
Valid by State Supreme Court

Salem-Constitutionality of the Sun.
day closing law was upheld by Jusice
Burnett, of the Supreme court, when
he reversed the decision of Circuit
Judge Morrow in the case of the State
against Leigh E. Nichols, appealed
from Lane county. Nichols was
charged with keeping his cigar store
open Sunday.
That the decision may result in q
more stringent enforcement of the
state law prohibiting the keeping open
on Sunday Of any "store, shop, gro
Gerry, bowling alley, billiard room, or
tippling house or any place Of
amusement" is believed probable by
attorneys and others here who have
studied it. The law exempts from its
provisions theaters, drug stores, doc
tors offices, undertakers, livery stable
keepers. butchers and bakers.
In the attack upon the constitution
ality of the statute, attorney for Mich
OILS contended that it was violating sec
tion 20 of article Of the state constitu-
tion, which declares that mo law shall
be passed granting to any citizen or
class Of citizens, privileges or immuni-
ties which, upon the same terms, shall
not equally belong to all citizens. f"
That the measure also was contrary to
the 14th amendment to the Federal
constitution was alleged.

BIG SYNDICATE WILL FLOAT
ALLIES LOAN, IS REPORT

New York-The proposed mammoth

$500, 900, 900.
The underwriting syndicate, it was
reported, will be the largest of its
kind ever established in the United
States, and probably will be open to
nearly all national banks, trust COM
panies and state banks that may care
to parpticipate.

Arctic Explorer, Long Thought
Lost, Seeks New Lands.
POLAR REGION MYSTERY IS HIS GOAL
Thirteen Of Crew Have Perished in
Polar Hardships Explorations
of New Land to Continue.

Nome, Alasska-Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son, chief Of the Canadian government
exploring and surveying expedition thai
left Victoria in June, 1918, and who
set out afoot over the ice with two
companions from the shore of North.
eastern Alaska in March, 1914, to seek
new lands in uncharted seas, did not go
to his death, as the world had begun to
fear, but found the new land. The
only hardships endured were those of
short rations, he says.
Stefansson is wintering at Banks
Land, where he has a large power
schooner and small one. He plans
to explore this new territory during
the winter, and next summer pene-
trate farther into the region of mys-
terry between Alaska and the North
Pole, where no ship has ever gone.
The power schooner Ruby arrived
from Herschel Island Saturday with
dispatches from Stefansson to his gov
ernment, in which he omits references
to the perils Of the journeys on the ice
and gives space to the scientific re-
suits achieved. He seems to have
been quite unaware Of the anxiety his
long absence aroused.
The southern or Anderson wing of
the expedition is pursuing its scien-
tific work in the Mackenzie delta, and
reports no mishap except the death of
Engineer Dan Blue, of the power boat
Alaska. This is the thirteenth death
among members of the expedition.
Eight men perished on the ice while
trying to reach Wrangell Island, after
the Karluck was crushed. Two died
of scurvy on Wrangell Island. Anoth-
er accidentally shot and killed himself
there. Another in the Macknziee
country went insane while lost and
suicide by shooting.
Captain Cottle, of the Ruby, said
that Stefansson had accomplished the
purpose for which his hazardous jour
ney was undertaken. He discovered a
continuance of the continental shelf
several degrees west of Banks Land,
and his purpose in the near future is
to ascertain the extent of new land he
southwest of Patrick's
Land. This required two perilous
trips northward on the ice.

FRENCH AND ENGLISH WOULD.
BORROW BILLION IN AMERICA

New York--The present plan Of th,
joint Anglo-French financial commits
sion, II was reported Tuesday night, Il
TO borrow 81, 200, 900, 600 In the Unitet
States on straight British and French
government bonds without any col
lateral whatever.
II this vast sum OF money IL OBJ
tained, II was said, IL Is to be spent u
the last cent in the United States In
payment for cotton, wheat and meat
and many commodity shipments, In.
Guiding munitions Of war. 1t will,
therefore, In the opinion Of financial
authorities, be classed as commercial
loan.
Whether the neutrality Of the Unit
cd States would be questioned in case
the bankers financing. the mammoth
loan should accept straight British and
French government notes as their Be-
curity has been given serious consider
alton. II was said that the fnanciers
familiar with the plan had every rea-
son to believe that the Washington ad-
ministration, would not interfere.
The foregoing was the unanimous
opinion Of many Of the scores Of prom
inent bankers from New York and
the chief cities of the country, who
have visited the commission ut It's
headquarters here during the three
days Of it's stay In this city. As to It's
correctness, the members Of the COM
mission declined positively to COM
ment. All that the commission cared
to publish as authoritative was voiced
by Lord Reading, its chairman, who
received newspapermen for the first
time.
"We are not in position to make a
statement at the present time," Lord
Reading said, because we are study
Ing the conditions in New York and
elsewhere in relation to American ex-
change on London and Paris. We have
received a considerable number of per-
sons, prominent bankers and other
gentlemen who are interested in the
Of exchange.
'"The one thing that is striking
about 1t is that everybody is agreed, as
one would expect, in the great import
ance to be attributed to regulating the
exchange 80 as to provide more stable
conditions than has been the case re-
Gently.
'sThe sudden and considerable drop
In the exchange naturally disturbs and
must disturb commercial relations be-
tween the countries the United
States and Great Britain and France
as it makes 1t so difficult to
see ahead what the rate of exchange
will be, and moreover, because natur-
ally it makes such a material differ
snce In the prices to be received by
the American and the prices to be paid
by the Englishman and Frenchman."

Great Iron Industry Center on
Pacific Coast Is Forecast

San Francisco-The future of the
Pacific Coast as an iron and steel pro-
ducing center was pictured as not far
distant by ]. w. Beckman, of San
Francisco, in a paper read before the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers.
There is no reason why the Pacific
Coast, with plenty of high-grade iron
ores, cheap fuel, natural gas, oil and
charcoal, and immense hydro-electrical
power potentialities, should not be a
great iron-producing center of the
world" Mr.. Beckman said.
"All the necessities for extensive
steel manufacturing and allied indus
tries are to be found on the Pacific
Coast in ores suitable for alloys. Un-
usual iron ore deposits are held here,
and the quality of some of the ore can
compete with some Of the best Swed-
ish ores.
''The time is not far distant when
the products of the section will figure
largely on the worlds markets.
