Berlin, via London-F Following the
speech of historical Importance made
in the reichstag Friday by Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, DR.. Peter
SPAIN, leader of the Center party, and
Frederick Ebert, leader Of the Social
lists, endeavored to expand upon the
chancellor's declarations concerning
Begium and the relations between
Germany and the United States.
DIR. SPAIN said America had shown
that her sympathies favored England.
DR.. Ebert said neutral rights must be
respected conscientiously and that I'M
restricted use of the torpedo must be
opposed with the utmost sharpness"
Taking up the American question,
DR.. SPAIN said:
"The press, people and the govern
ment of America have shown by their
conduct that their sympathies and bus
mess interests favor England and not
Germany. America has become q reg
ular arsenal and base of supplies on
Rc SCdlC LUZ OuI Suctulcos
"The American government has
bound itself where we are concerned
to the formal letter of the law and has
employed regularly a more generous
Interpretation of the regulations Of
neutrality only in favor of the states
hostile to us. Much has been permit
ted there which, if done by us, would
have been used in America to provoke
an outbreak of hatred against US.
DIR. SPAIN referred to the prolonged
negotiations with he United States in
regard to the submarine question, say
ing in that connection:
Americans of German descent have
indeed endeavored to create a senti-
ment for our view, unfortunately with
out success. 1t is incomprehensible in
view of the sound business instinct of
Americans, that the interests con-
cerned in legitimate export trade con-
tinually bow to British encroachments
on maritime rights. The hopes placed
in the American congress in this re-
gard have been disappointed.
Herr Ebert said he welcomed the
enunciation by the chancellor Of
more definite peace program, but de-
clared he had no expectation of any
response from the governments at
London, Paris and Petrograd, although
it was evident the inclination for
peace was increasing among the peo-
Piles.
Therefore" he continued. Ger
many must continue the war for de-
fense of the fatherland, and the Social
lists, who, as representatives Of the
working classes, would be chief suffer-
ers from the project in the throttling
of German trade and industry, must
continue to support the government
resolutely."

First Train Enters MarshfieId.

Eugene and Marshfield was inaugural

Wednesday with one train each way
daily.
Postmaster E. l.. Campbell, an
nounced that mail service over the new
railroad also began on that day. This
mail service has been brought about as
the result of an exception by the Post
Office department which, it is said,
rarely enters into a contract with a
railroad to carry mail before its actual
completion.
The letter mail has been going by
stage from Roseburg to Marshfield,
from Drain to Gardiner and from Eu-
gene to Florence; the second-class
mail has been going by boat from
Portland to Marshfield.
There was no celebration in connec-
tion with the completion of the rail
road at either end of the line. Such
an event on an elaborate scale is being
planned for a date in July, when the
Umpqua bridge will be completed.

Torreon, Mex.-Canuto Reyes, at
the head of considerable number OF
bandits, passed the Durango railroad
Sunday near Pedricena, going north.
1t is supposed that his object is to join
Villa, who, according to latest reports,
is somewhere midway between Tor
reon and Parral.
A large number of bandits are re-
ported by arrivals from the north to
be operating in the Sierra Mojada.
The Sierra Mojada is 120 miles north
Of Torreon and an equal distance west
of Parral. 1t is one Of the widest and
most desolate spots in Mexico. There
is good deal of speculation here as to
the possibility that Villa and Canuto
Reyes are planning to concentrate
their forces in this sierra.
II they do, any troops coming from
the direction of Parral would have to
cross the terrible Mapini desert, a
burning waste stretching 100 miles
north and south and from 80 to 60
miles broad. 1t is spot that is dread

Business Boom Reaches Retailers.

Chicago-As spring approaches and
the period for more active outdoor
operations it at hand, the business sit
uation is being featured by an inten-
sity of activity exceeding even that
of the boom months just past.
The effects of full employment and
rising wages are seen in the excellent
reports on the retail trade which come
from all sections of the country. There
is large distribution of merchandise
and retailers, instead of buying for
immediate wants only, are endeavor-
ing to stock up for some time to come.
This always is the case when the turn
has been completely made, and the
effect is to overwhelm jobbers and
wholesalers and stimulate prices
unduly.

Newly Discovered Serum Is Used
Successfully in Drowning Gases

Baltimore, Md.-Physicians at the
Johns Hopkins hospital invented some
time ago device to restore to life
those apparently dead from drowning.
1t proved successful on animals that
could be put under treatment immedi-
ately after the accident.
With the idea Of restoring life
some time after the accident, physi-
clans began to search for desired
serum.
However, in most of the cases there
have been after effects, such as high
blood pressure or hardening of the ar
teries.
According to the physicians, if the
serum can be injected into the person
even several hours after the accident,
it will restore life. In one case on an
animal the serum was injected four
hours after drowning" and the ami
NAL was brought back to life, although
it died later from high blood pressure.

others trying to make their escape
afoot. They went singly and in small
parties, all firing at the American
troops as they fed. None took aim,
the ranchmen said, and as a result
none of the bullets found a khaki-clad
