OPPOSING LEADERS m HOUSE
FIGHT FOR NATIONAL DffHlN

Washington, D. C. = Speaker Clark
and Republican Leader Mann fought
side by side in the house Monday for
adequate National defense. With
party lines obliterated, most of the
members followed their leaders and
two navy measures passed without a
dissenting vote. One, to provide for
adding 800 midshipmen to the entering
class at Annapolis next July, passed
173 to 0, and the other, to equip navy
yards for construction of battleshipe
Nos AS and A, passed withoutsrollcall.
Mr.. Mann tried to put the anti-pre-

responses.

measures aroused wide interest. Ru-

Coast Hop Prices Take
lump in London Market

Portland = More interest is being
shown in the hop market than at any
time since the recent deals were COM
pleted by the Oregon Hopgrowers' as
sociation. Prices have not been ad-
vanced, but the market is on very
steady foundation.
The sharp advance in the London
market, cabled the first of the week,
of 10 shillings hundredweight, equal
to about 1t cents a pound on Pacific,
confirms advices lately received of the
strengthening of the market abroad,
due to reduction of English stocks.
Local exporters report no increase in
orders from the other side, but antici-
pate an improved demand.

Holland holds Java and her other
outlying possessions, and maintains an
important overseas trade, with navy
OF very moderate dimensions that
ranks perhaps twelfth among the ma
lions. She has some submarines, and
will increase the number of her de-
stroyers and smaller protective craft.
She has also an efficient army, based
upon the principle Of CONSUMPTION or
compulsory service. The ordinary
field force of the Netherlands army
amounts to about 10000 men, while
in the various reserves there are per-
haps 100000 more. Holland has six
million people, as against our one
hundred million, and is not warlike
or militarized nation. But she could
put 100000 men into active service
more readily than we could mobilize
one-fourth as many, using our national
guard and other possible sources Of
supply. If we were as well prepared
relatively as Switzerland or Holland
to defend our homes,-while continu-
ing to stand with them, as we now do,
for the principles of justice, honor and
civilization in the world,-we should
have at least six million men trained
and equipped for military duty.-From

Apple Shipment Made.

Hood River, Or.-The first shipment
of Hood River apples since Monday,
January 81, left here this week. Will
mer Sieg, sales manager of the Apple
Growers association, said he has been
unable to fill orders because of the
snow. With the weather breaking
every effort to clean up the stock will
be made.
Reports from growers in all parts of
the valley intimate no damage from
the thawing of the snow.
Local officials, however, have no en-
enlargement as to exports of fruit for
the coming season or for heavy sales
of late export apples. The Fruit and
Vegetable Producers and Distributors
joint committee, a London organiza-
tion, is now engaged in a gigantic
campaign to educate English people t.
use only homegrown vegetables snc
fruits. The local association has re
ceived from London a circular letter,
issued by the organization, which
says:
"This committee has obtained ths
support and cooperation of many kin
bred associations keenly interested il
the growth and distribution of British
fruits and vegetables, and the join
committee is now actively engaged il
advocating an increased consumption
of these products.

Teutons to Treat Armed Merchant
Ships as War Vessels and Sink
Them Without Warning.

Washington, d. C.-Diplomatic ne
gotiations of various character soon
will confront the United States as the
result Of the expected intention of the
German and Austrian governments to
treat armed merchant ships Of the en-
tente allies as war vessels after Feb
ruary 20.
Apparently it is certain that any
attempt by the United States to
change the present rule permitting the
use of American ports by merchant
ships armed for defensive purposes
would be met by strong protest
Correspondence also is likely to follow
if the United States assumes a posi-
ton which comedies with that Of Ger
many and Austria regarding the right
Of submarineN to sink armed ships
without warning.
On the other hand, the United States
itself may take the initiative should
the entente allies impose virtual
boycott on American ports in the
event that this government decides
that armed merchant ships entering
<1AAACA A(8A W akOAo a. . oAAAt VI " ~ @>4t1
therefore subject to internment-
The view of at least some of the
representatives of the entente allies
here is that any change made in the
rule bearing on submarine warfare
during the war would be an unneutral
act. The governments are represented
as not being prepared to admit that
there has been any change in the con-
ditions of naval warfare which would
warrant characterizing- merchant ships
armed for defensive purposes as war
ships.
In Teutonic quarters, however, it il
commended that merchant ships armec
for defensive purposes are really
armed for resistance and that mer
chant ships have no right to resist
Moreover, it is contended by Germany
that it is impossible to adhere to th'
principle of warning merchant ships
as, should they be armed, a single
shell of small caliber could sink an.
submarine.
American officials seem inclined II
the view that the contentious of tn
German and Austrian governments ar
well founded, and from several quar-
tiers came the information that tn
United States might warn its national
to remain off merchant ships that ar
armed. This, it was said in German
quarters, was precisely what the Ger
man and Austrian governments hav
been aiming to achieve.
The possibility of the entente allie
putting into effect a practical boycott
of American ports was widely dis
cussed in official circles The allie
may permit only sufficient number o
their unarmed ships to enter American
ports to take away merchandise ant
goods consigned to themselves.
was admitted in high official quarter
that should such plan be put int
effect action might be taken.

What an Automobile Buyer Looks For

F. w. vogler. president of the North
says that the fundamentals on which
cars are purchased by the majority Of
buyers who have analysed the situa-
lection, are based on four things that
this class OF purchaser insists on.
The first question asked is how long
has this model been on the market.
Experience has taught the careful
buyer that first year model. regard

ing.
When transmission is located on the
rear axle, experience has taught the
buyer that this is good thing to avoid
because Of the shocks it must get over
ordinary and rough roads.
A third point of vital Importance in
the experienced buyers mind is the
size and stability Of the manufacturer.
The experienced buyer wants a car
that is backed by the personal respon-
sibility of some one Individual who is
not under the constant fear that IL
dividends are not Of a given amount
at the end OF the season the position
will be open for another man.
Service is the fourth demand Of the
customer who has been through the
mill. He must know from personal
observation for his own satisfaction
that repair parts are kept at the dis
tributing point OF course the finan-
cial and moral standing OF the dealer
selling the car is of equal Importance.

The proper spray fairly applied at the

Commercial lead arsenate paste

should be given, the first in the spring

This Is to poison the beetles that have

The second and most important spray
should be applied about three weeks

be taken to get this second spray OF
