MOSCOW YOUTH is
EXPERT MARKSMAN
Raymond A. Yates, Recruit With
United States Marine Corps, Gets
Marked Attention From Officials
For His Feats at Gunnery

In an official bulletin issued by
headquarters, United States Marine
Corps, Washington, appears the name
of Raymond A. Yates, of this place, as
having qualified as marksman in
that most interesting branch of the
government service.
Raymond, who is a son of Mrs.
Flora Yates of Moscow, enlisted in
the United States Marine Corps at its
North Yakima, Wn., recruiting sta
tion on May "a, 1915, and is now serv-
ing at the marine barracks, navy
yard, Mare Island, near San Fran
cisco, California, awaiting transfer to
expeditionary duty, where he will
have many interesting experiences and
adventures, or to cruising battle
ship which will visit strange lands and
give the Moscow boy an excellent op-
portunity to see the world.
Considering the fact that Yates is
scarcely more than recruit, his per-
formance in gunnery is considered by
marine corps officials as little short
of marvellous, and they expect him to
break many craftsmanship records
before his enlistment expires. Yates
was formerly employed at Davids.

unofficial information about plans of
the new Mexican uprising reported to
be maturing in the United States. 1t
is declared that the conspiracy has

plotters include many Scientificos and
few Villastas. The headquarters are

whether the threatened revolution is
connected with the reported blowing up
of the battleship Kentucky at Vera

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-England
must pledge her word that her liners
will not fire upon German submarine
before Germany will instruct her
commanders not to attack armed mer-
chantmen without warning. This is
declared to be Germanys counter pro-
posal answering Americas objection
to the Teuton decree. This was the
announcement after a twenty-minute
conference between Ambassador
Bernstorff and Secretary Lansing.
Germany and America have agreed up
On the settlement for the Lusitania af-
fair except that America considers
that future submarine questions must
be settled. 1t is understood that Sec
retary Lansing insisted upon adher-
ence to the previously proclaimed
American stand for the right of mer-
chantmen to arm for defensive pur-
poses. Before meeting the American
terms, Ambassador Bernstorff must
ask advice from Berlin. The Austrian
decree announced today is similar to
Germany's.

Sudden Thaw Causes Sudden Rise in

Heavy Ice

High water in Paradise Creek, re-
sulting from the recent rains and
warm weather, threatened local
bridges yesterday, and flooded parts
of the fairgrounds and railroad yards.
During the afternoon yesterday and
the early part of today, city employees
broke up ice jams above the Sixth
street bridge with iron bars and dyna-
mite to prevent the destruction of the
bridge.
The flow of water completely filled
the arch of the partially completed
concrete bridge near the Northern Pa
cific station, and flowed around both
ends of the bridge, doing consider
able damage.
