We did not stare at each other longer

LOp Ear, struggling with the second

This made me ashamed and spurred
me to valOr. I grabbed the remaining
puppy by the tail. He got his teeth
into me once, and then got him by
the nape of the neck. LOp Ear and L
sat down and held the puppies up and
looked at them and laughed.
They were snarling and yelping and

In the submarine controversy between
the United States and Germany with

mined to take no action which might

tons few of the more ardeat advo-
Gates Of legislation 10 keep Americans
of armed ships continued their activ-
tiles. and ex-Secretary Bryan's sup
port for them was shown in the form
Of telegram. but even most Of them
admitted there was no propect Of i'm
mediate action
So far as the administration is
concerned, il was said authoritatively
that while any agitation Of the issue
Just now was undesirable. there was
no disposition TO oppose a vote on the
pending armed-ship resolutions II their
sponsors tried to force one.
IL was declared that reports from
the capitol during the day showed con-
clnsively that the senate and the house
would stand behind President Wilson
In his refusal to permit any abridge-
ment OF the rights of American eiti-
sens on the seas, as outlined in his let
ter 20 Senator Stone.
The President reiterated his state
ments in that letter TO Speaker Clark,
Majority Leader Kitchin and Repre-
sentative Flood, chairman Of the house
foreign affairs committee, early in the
day when they called at the White
House to tell Of the situation on their
side Of the capitol and hear the execu-
tivess views.
There was plain speaking both by
President Wilson and his callers. Mr..
Wilson said plainly that his efforts to
keep the country at peace were likely
10 be hindered by impressions sent
abroad by congress. and the congress-
men were equally frank in giving
notice that strong sentiment existed
at the capitol against risking the pos
sibility Of war by permitting Ameri-
cans to travel on armed belligerent
ships, whatever might be their rights
under international law.
Although wholly different reports
came from other sources during the
day, Speaker Clark declared he be
lieved q resolution to warn citizens of
armed vessels would carry in the house
by two to one IL it reached a vote.
The house delegation went back to
the capitol with word that the Presi-
dent stood unalterably by his position.
There the situation rests, and while
there probably viii be many more con-
ferences and possibly some speeches.
the generally accepted opinion is that
no further serious effort to bring about
action viii be made, unless develop
ments occur to make q rupture Of re-
Iations with Germany imminent

mandate denouncing Tai 40, in which
admission is made that the revolu-

Information received in Pekin from

Yunnanese, who descended on the city
of Suifu and captured it, numbered
about 10, 900. The government gar
rison at Suifu numbered about 1000,
but these troops left for the north sew
eral days before the arrival of the
Yunnanese and consequently there was
no resistance to the entrance of the
latter. The fleeing government forces

marine campaign which is expected to
begin Wednesday. There is general
belief that the campaign will mark
the entrance into the war Of several Of
the newer and extended types Of sub
marines, probably with greatly en-
larged radius Of action and greater
offensive power. During the past
month Germany captured or sank 50
vessels, of which five were neutrals,
two Italians, four Belgians. one

Wool Growers Find Good
Market by Shipping to Portland

Portland--With wool contracting for
the 1916 clip just starting in the East
ern counties, the last remnant Of tho
1915 clip Ii being sold here. The
Portland Wool Warehouse company has
not over 40, 900 pounds In its ware
house on Municipal Dock No. ], and
that is all the wool that 10 left In Port
land.
The bulk Of these wools were
sold at from 2i cents to 22t cents for
fine and 26 to 80 cents for coarse wool,
according to condition and shrinkage.
"The prices realized" /" said w. l..
Grove, manager Of the company, "are
from 3 cents to cents better than
were offered In the country for the
same wools. The growers arc more
than satisfied with their experiment
of sending their woods here TO be mar
keted, and 1t Is safe to say q much
larger quantity will be cent here dur
ing the coming season.
I'VE have sold wool TO about ~ diff
ferent customers, dozen Of whom
never operated In this section before.
We have had inquiries from q dozen
other big Eastern mills, and although
we did not close deals with them We
are looking forward TO their trade In
new wools.
"0ur object is TO improve the condi-
tion Of the woolgrowers and put
them all on an equal basis. BY avail
ing himself Of cheap money, which he
could never do before, the grower 10
enabled to hold bis wool until he is
ready to sell. All the wool consigned
here Is sold only with the approval Of
the growers, II 10 different when the
wool is consigned to the East, for II
then gets beyond the owners control. "

Immediately to port.
High seas were running and the
captain, realizing that great damage
had been done TO the after part OF his
vessel, tried to run her aground, but
the engine room was swamped and the
ship became unmanageable.
The plight Of the vessel was OBJ
served and dozens Of craft went at full
speed to her rescue. 1t was one Of
these, the Epmress Of Fort William.
Of 21S1 tons, that sank.
Boat after boat and seven RATS were
sent away, but several persons leaped
into the water and were picked up by
surrounding craft. II was at first
thought that all had been saved, but
later bodies were washed ashore and
their number was gradually added to
during the day.
Owing to the fact that Dover is un-
der strict military law, 1t was possi-
BILE to obtain only meager details from
those rescued. The captian said that
both passengers and crew behaved
splendidly.
The passengers were for the most
part British officials in the Indian
service, the most prominent being

court. They were returning to serv-
ice in the East.
