Bethlehem Steel Wants
To Be Real Good Dog

Washington, April A. Before the
house naval committee today, Rcpresen.
tatives of the Bethlehem Steel company
made final effort to prevent recon
mendation of the government armor
plate bill being voted,
President Grace promised that, if the
United States sohuld be involved in
war or threatened with war, his plant
would furnish products at "any price
the government chooses to pay" He
further asserted his factories would run
"a hours day, if necessary, to supply
federal requirements for armor plate.
A promise to manufacture armor plate
indefinitely at any price the trade com.
mission might fix was likewise made.
Grace said he made the offers as a
matter of patriotism, and also with a
view to saving $7,0OO,OO0 which had
been invested. The plant had previous.
ly offered armor plate at 1895 a ton
for a period of five years. It is doubt
ful whether these overtures will pre-
vent government competition.

ENGLAND INTERFERES
WITH PARCEL POST
Iniimates 1t viii Continue To
Do So Despite American
Objections y
By Robert ]. Bender.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, April A dearth of
definite information about recent Ger
man submarine activities, which threat
ened to bring about a diplomatic rup.
ture between America and the kaiser.
was faced by the cabinet when it met
today.
Affidavits from American witnesses
were expected shortly. Secretary Lans-
ing reported he had unofficial advices
that survivors of the steamer Manches-
ter Engineer sinking claimed they saw
a periscope. Information with regard
to the wrecking of the steamer Eagle
Point made Lansing believe it advisable
for Ambassador Gcrar0 to inquire il
formally concerning it.
The cabinet members had not receded
from their position that no step woul6
be too drastic if it were proved that
German submarines attacked the chan.
mel steamer Sussex, the liner English
man and other vessels which carried
Americans. They feel however, that a
complete settlement Of the whole dues
tiOn in accordance with American de
mands may prevent an open break with
Germany.
The cabinet was expected to consider
its next step in the negotiations wifi
Great Britain growing out of English
seizure of United States mails. Lans
ing presented the British government ,.
denial that treaty rights had been vio.
lated. This statement emphasize
Great Britain's intention to continnc
opening American parcel post packages

ALL NATIONS KNOW
OUR SECRET CODE
American Foreign Ministers
Protest Against Its
Further Use

(By Carl w, Ackerman, United Pres,
Staff Correspondent.)
Berlin, April Ambassadors Ger
ard and Penfield and Minister Van
Dyke at The Hague have joined in a
protest to the state department against
the continued use of the present Amer
lean diplomatic code. The state de
partment at Washington, replying to a
recent United Press dispatch from Ber
lin stating that the United States secret
code was known to several of the Euro
pean belligerents, insisted that secret
dispatches could still be sent.
That is what the department al
ways says" said an American officia,
today, fully in touch with the situation
" You'll find the code will not be
changed until it is too late.
1t was learned today that an Ameri
can code book was stolen from an at
tache Of the American minister to the
Balkans shortly before the outbreak OF
the war. Secret service men tried fol
weeks to trace it before the loss wa,
communicated to Washington. 1t is moi
known what belligerent possesses thi.
volume, but the American ENJOYS are
convinced that every important Euro
pean power can read not only the di
plomatic but the naval secret code.
About seven months ago, an officia
mail pouch, carrying a highly impor
tant secret to the navy department
from an observer in Germany wa.
opened after it left London. The secre,
report was unsealed and when Il
reached Washington showed mucl
handling. In many of the foreign en-
bassies and legations, English, French
German and other foreign attache,
have acted as American code experts
1t is quite possible that several men whc
have handled tne American diplomat,
code are now in the employ of Euro
pean governments.

City Council Accepts Gift, But
No Transfer VIII Be Made
For Some Time

The gift of the fifty acre tract
known as Bush S Pasture to the city
of Salem as a city park was accepted
by the city council last night and it is
freely estima ted that Salem will in
time have one of the largest and most
beautiful city parks of any town in the
Willamette valley. The gift was made
by A. n Bush, who wishes the tract of
land to remain intact as memorial to
the late Asahel Bush and the offer was
made by Attorney George G. Bingham
| in behalf of tide Bush estate. The
actual transfer of the property will not
be made, however, during the lifetime
of Miss Sally Bush but since the city
council voted to accept the gift of the
park, a survey will be made of the
property boundaries and a cOnveylnce
prepared for acceptance and delivery.
A scenic winding boulevard will
skirt the park from Mission street at
a point about the east end of the pres
ent stone wall, which bounds the Bush
premises, and extending southerly and
following the nill. The remainder of
the tract lying east of the boulevard is
to be the park proper.
BY the specifications the tract is to
remain in the condition it is at present

of way to be condemned across the
land, and also that no franchises shall
be granted for railways on streets or
alleys laid out on the uncOnveyed por.

time of Miss Bush This is not intend.
ed to prevent franchise being granted
on Mission street paralleling the street
or paralleling the boundaries of the
tract outside the park, but is to include
the park and boulevard.
As stated in the offer made the city

the tract of land intact east of the pro
posed boulevard as one compact body
and during the lifetime of Miss Bush

TOLAND 100000 GERMAN
VETERANS IN TWO WEEKS
Would Make Main Attack at
Boston and Another at
Chesapeake Bay
(By Wilbur s. Forrest, United Press
Staff Correspondent.)

London, April "A European power,
Invading the United States, would
strike simultaneously at the unfortified
shores of Chesapeake bay and at Bos-
ton, according to Major c. Darnley
Stuart.Stephens in an article in the
Pictorial
The major says that the German staff
already has worked out such a plan.
Though his article may appear far
fetched, it presents an interesting de-
scriptiOn of what would happen should
Germany, or any other strong Euro
pean nation, decide to invade America
"Fifty per cent of the German mer-
camille marine is in Hamburg and Bre-
men, said Major Stuart Stephens. "In
10 days this flotilla could land 100000
German veterans on the New England
coast line. So efficient is the general
staff organization that these liners
would return in another month with a
like number
"The German striking point would
be at Boston, which would, of course,
be captured from the land side and the
defenders of which, paltry in them
, selves, would be devoid Of even the
presence of such garrison as could
maintain more than couple of days
resistance.
A minor operation would be con-
Quoted simultaneously at Chesapeake
bay, where there are even now no for
tifications. Then would follow the
holding of line extending from Lake
Erie to Chesapeake bay, both flanks
protected by water and behind it the
sea. Also between the natural ram
parts occupied by the invader and the
sea coast are practically all the Ameri-
can arsenals, nine-tenths of the steel
works, the munitions factories of Con-
necticut and the ship building yards.
This, then the vital region for the
equipment and maintenance of the ma
tiOn $ defense, would lie in the enemy IS
rear. The whole Of the republic, save
the all-important section behind the enc
mics lines could live comfortably with
plenty Of food, clothes and movies
wherewith to remove the tedum of
time, but the American colossus would
be without shells, without guns and
without the material for their produc-
ton Years would elapse before
America could under those conditions,
scientifically equip sufficient army to
warrant an assault on the invaders
position on the Alleghenies
The end Of the invasion, the major
said, would be that America "wonld
have to shell out her liquid finance,
