Higher Officers Are Affected.

Many of the high ranking officers
would be affected by the Legislation.
There is a general belief among Of

intention of Congress nor was not the
intention OF the committee to include
officers of the militia within the pro-
visions of this law. and they feel conf
dent that theamendment suggested by

OPPOSES LEGISLATION

Secretary of Manufacturers Associa.
ton Argues Against Provisions
Of the Kenyon Bill.

G. B. Heckel Of Philadelphia, secre-
tary of the Paint Manufacturers Asso-
citation. appeared before the Senate
committee on manufactures today in
opposition to the Kenyon bill to com
with a true statement of ingredients
He insisted that to compel the manu-
facturers to change all the labels on
their paint and state in their labels the
ingredients contained would be a great
hardship to the manufacturers and of
no benefit to the public.
Mr. Heckel. under a running fire of
questions from Senator Reed of Mis-
souri,. chairman Of the committee, sale
cans containing paint made up of the
same ingredients, and yet one can
would contain good paint and the other
poor paint.
Same Formula on Both Labels.
These two cans would have to car
ry the same formula on their labels II
the chemical analysis showed their in
gradients to be the same" said Mr.
Heckel. THE only way for a consumer
to obtain the good paint is to rely
upon the reputation the manufacturer
has for making good paint
you contend. them said Senator
Reed, that it is the same in principle
as if two cooks followed the same
recipe for making a cake and one cake
turned out good and the other was so
hard YOU could knock the boards off
the barn with it."
Mr.. Heckel said that illustrated his
point exactly.
He said that 1t was important that
the manufacturers should know what
they we're buying. however, and dis
cussed the many tests which have been
made by them to establish standards
for turpentine. linseed oil, chrome yell

been quite as great. The fighting last

losses, and at the end of the day the
positions were on the whole the same

The Germans are at the foot Of hill

French poured a singing fire into the

President Wilson and the cabinet met
today without any new Information on
which to act in the submarine issue.
Secretary Lansing reported that he
expected to receive soon a dispatch
from Ambassador Gerard giving the
results of Germany's investigation into
the destruction of the Sussex and other
cases.
Cabinet members agreed that in view
of Germany's disclaimer of RESPONSE

to base action on that case alone, but

collection of evidence regarding an ac-
emulation of other cases

Report Believed on Way.

Germany's note in response to inquiries
Of the United States government regard
ing the destruction of the English steamer
Sussex and other merchant ships with
Americans aboard is assumed to be on
its way to the United States. Unofficial
advices received here indicated that the
communication is in the hands of Am
bassador Gerard, and forecasts Germany's
denial Of responsibility for the attacks.
An announcement of the attitude of the
Washington government is not looked
for until after Fridays cabinet meeting,
when it is expected that the German note
and information sought from other
sources will be at hand. Some definite
step may then be taken, although officials
decline to discuss its nature. A diplo-
matte rupture. however. is not believed to
be imminent.

Wording of the Provision.

That no money appropriated by this
or any other act shall be available for
payment to any person receiving more
than one salary when the combined
amount of said salaries exceeds the sum
of $4,000 per annum. but this shall not
apply to retired officers of the army and
navy whenever they may be elected to
public Office or whenever the President
shall appoint them to- office by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate"
Maj. Cashier has suggested to the
committee that the paragraph he
amended by placing a comma after the
bers of the District militia for service
as such" This would help to keep the
officers in the guard, for, ii is pointed
out, it is plain to see that II the pro-
vision becomes law in its present
form the officers will have to resign or
be retired.

Fighting on Narrow Front.
The German general offensive against
the French fortress of verdun, begun
Sunday over a thirteen-mile front, is
being restricted in the latest fighting
to two-mile front on the west side
Of the River Mouse. Along these $500
yards of trenches the French thus far
not only have succeeded in barring a
further advance of the Teutons on the
west bank of the river. but also in
screening their artillery. which is rak-
ing every German advance on the east
of the river.
The object of the present operations
is the now historical Mort Homme or
Dead Mans hill. which bars the way of
the Germans to further advance west
of the river. The operations began
yesterday, when two German divisions
were launched from Bethincourt and
Haucourt against Hill 304 on the left
of Dead Mans hill. while two divisions
attacked at the same time in the direc-
ton of Hill 295, between Dead Mans
hill and Cumieres.

The letter signed by the labor men
says, in part:
GA circular printed in the Polish
language is being distributed in the
9TH congressional district. It is given
out in the interest Of Niels JUL, can
didate for congress in opposition to
Frank Buchanan.
''In the circular Buchanan is ac-
cused of having voted for a clause
in the Burnett migration bill, de-
signed to exclude Poles coming to
the United States from the old coun-
try. AS amatter of fact, there never
was any such clause in the Burnett
bill and the people who distributed
this circular wiIlfuIy and maliciously
lied.
1.-The American Federation Of La

behind that bill, and when Buchanan
voted-for it he carried out the wishes

Hughes Due in
Oregon This Week

Portland, Ore, Aug. 19.-The re-

making elaborate preparations to
handle an immense throng on the oc-
casion of the forthcoming visit of
Charles L. Hughes, republican can
didate for president, who will speak
in this city on August 16 at p. m.
Mr.. Hughes and his party of twenty
eight, including Mrs. Hughes, will
reach Portland at Z a. m. on the
10th.
The big meeting will be held eth
er at the armory or the ice hippo
drome, at Twentieth and Marshall
streets. The armory will accommo-
date 5000 people and the hippo
drome 10000, and if the latter build
ing can be put in condition soon
enough it probably will be used by
the committee.
Mr.. Hughes schedule calls for
stops in Oregon only at Portland,
Medford, Ashland and Roseburg, but
National Committeeman Williams
and the state committee will make
an effort to have the schedule
changed so as to give Salem, Albany
and Eugene at least a few minutes
each.

There also seems to be an unanim-

feeling between all growers for gem
eral betterment, and the same seems
to be true of all the citizens of both
Medford and Ashland, for nothing
was more marked than the absence
of hostility between the competing
citizens and the competing towns
in fact, when you are in Medford no
citizen has anything but words OF
praise for Ashland, and when you are
in Ashland her citizens will tell you
there is no better town on earth than
Medford-and these two towns are
only thirteen miles apart, Ashland
having a population Of 5000 and
Medford 10000. How different the
condition in some of the lower Will

them captives within the famous cor
raj of the Lithia park, and what is
more to their everlasting credit, COM
pletely tied them with attention and
kept them closely confined until the
ladies had served all with a magnifi-
cent box lunch of choice Ashland

tizing culinary arts that have won
for these ladies the most comforting
spot in the heart of every editor and

that it is in a canyon just south of

utmost, and its work has been supple
mented by the expenditure of almost
$500, 900, voted by the enterprising
citizens of Ashland. There are
gushing springs of effervescent lithia
