eral agents and the New York polieel
have began an investigation which
promises to lead to the most far
reaching exposures yet effected OF the
activities of the German secret SER
vice system in this country.
Excepting for one man whom
agents of the department of justice are
now trailing, the authorities believe
they have apprehended all the men
actually engaged in the execution Of
the plot-men who instigated and fl
nanced the work of planting bombs on
ships leaving this port with cargoes
for the allies. The officials are con-
vinced that the men in custody are
merely tools in the hands of othef
men. whose identity is strongly sus-
pected.
Four of the men in custody have ad.
mitted under questioningg facts seri-
ously duplicating Capt. Fritz Won Pa

naval attache. and Capt, Sternburg. a
German officer who escaped in female

Bonding Advocates Charge Big
Farmers With Undue Activity

Editor East oregonian;
We ask space to answer the many
and various communications, state
ments and misstatements of Senator
c. A. Barrett, w. w. Harrah, Farmers
Grain Union and others, who are OPP
posing the bond issue for good roads.
Mr.. Barrett and Mr.. Harrah are
opposing the bond issue for the simple
season that they are like the little boy
who If he could not be captain would
not play,
In fact, the entire argument of the
opposition to the bond issue may be
swept away with this one statement;
That the millionaire farmers are op-
posing 1t because 1t does not build q
road in front of their individual
farms. They are selfish, and unless
they can receive the whole benefit
they are going to oppose any move
ment for progress and improvement
whereby the county as a whole receiv-
es benefit in a. greater portion than
they do individually.
The statement justly applies that
these millionaire farmers do not want
to spend any money for good roads
but want to save their money so as to
buy their neighbor out and make
granaries out of school houses.
In all this vast farming section
where so strenuous opposition to the
bond issue arises, school houses are
lew and far between. In fact 1t is a
manless land. The owners and oper-
ators live in the cities and farm from
the curb stones. They want no de-
velopment because it would cut down
their holdings and reduce their enor-
nous incomes.
These same gentlemen who are nov
opposing the bond issue, perslstently
state that they have been for years
and still are in favor of good roads
hut during all the years that this ele'
ment has been in control Of the good
roads association they have not done
one thing. They have not even i'm
proved the dirt roads. All they have
done has been to hold meetings. make

gon' theater last evening when the
curtain rolled up on the opening O.
"A Night in Bohemia" the musical
farce comedy presented by Pendleton
Lodge No. 2ss, b. P. o. e., under the
direction. of Rufus X. Love. It was
ia capacity audience and the audience
enjoyed itsself to capacity, for, what
with songs, dances. comedy and cos
tunes, the Elks had prepared bill
that was a fill.
Without hitch or bobble to mar and
with some numbers OF exceptional
merit, the musical play, spiced with
specialties kept the several hundred
people entertained every minute from
the pretty opening drill by fifty little
school girls to the good night finale
which came amid a rainbow shower Of
uncurling serpentine.
Give S. Cheshire was cast in the
role OF Edmund Keene, the retired
actor and Bohemian, whose declining
years are saddened by separation from
his former haunts and friends. His
was q serious part thar called for real
acting and Mr.. Cheshire acquitted
himself with high honors.
Mrs Charles Bond as Dolly Mobiles,
the sunshine OF Keene's villa, and
Bert Jerard as Tommy Jiggs, the
breezy boy from. New York. made a
pair Of vivifiers who bore easily the
responsibility OF giving the show a
good start. Their song and dance, "a
Little Love, a Little Kiss Goes Long,
Long Way" was one Of the cleverest
acts Of the evening.
Comedy aplenty was furnished by
Jack Gibson as officer Callahan and
Bob Fletcher as Dusty Rhodes. Both
were well madeup ana carried out
their different parts admirably, sing
ing. dancing and carrying on rapid
fire dialogues, in which local takeoffs
were frequent, in way that kept the
audience in laughter as long as they
were on the stage.

good laughs both in his song. Il Was

WASHINGTON, April 25.-officials
sounded a warning today against over
confidence in the pending submarine
issue negotiations The hope of a
favorable settlement is tempered by
Germany's difficulty in convincing its
people OF the justice of Wilson's de-

wishes to avoid a break. 1t is believ-
ed that submarines already have been

that Germany Is ready to make some
concessions, Whether the assurances
are acceptable to the president Will
remain unknown until the present
campaign Is halted. It is believed
that the German position will be
known shortly.
Before going to Princeton to cast
his vote, the president requested that
important news from Gerard be for

turns to Washington Ionight and con-
