BALTIMORE, Md - The German
submarine liner Deutschland Wednes-
day was cleared by her commander,
Captain Paul Koenig, for Bremen or
any other port in Garmany," At any
hour now the vessel may start down
Chesapeake bay, prepared to make a
dash for the open sea through the Vir-
ginia capes and the guard of allied
warships off the three-mile limit.
Secrecy surrounds the plans of Cap
tain Koenig After obtaining his clear

said in reply to questions asked for
the benefit of the Maryland Pilots as

departure was indefinite. Wednesday
night he made no arrangements for

you ask about universal compul-
sorry military service. l think that it
is wrong. l do believe in a gymnas-
tic training for everybody, including
the physical drill of the soldier, but
not with arms, not with anything that
would suggest war with or hatred for
our neighbors, but this gymnastic ex-
ercise could be given in such way that
it would not only build up the bodies
of those taking it, but would be of
substantial value if needed for de-
tense. l believe in that kind of physi-
cal training but not in compulsory
military training as such.

Monroe doctrine would have on the
relations of this country abroad. Nor
can l answer your question in regard
to the extent to which economic causes
enter into the war abroad. But l am
convinced that the tendency here to-
ward militarism is mistake. l know
of no better illustration of my idea
than the one that l gave you first, that
you have no walls around your houses
and you get along with your neighbors,
but you are adopting a policy that
will lead to the building of walls"

SHADE ON MARKET
Best POrkers Are a Dime Higher
While Others Are Steady Sheep
Steady and Cattle Lower.

About 600 head of hogs were here to
open the trading Friday, says the
Portland Live Stock Reporter of Mon
day. Everything sold early as there
was a keen demand. One choice load
sold at 500, 10 cents over the previ-
Gus days top. Market closed strong
Saturday with only a few loads from
the valley here The heavy runs seem
to have abated, at least for a while.
Last week only $500 head were re-

est weeks receipts, of the year. To-
day $500 head were received. The mar
ket opened briskly and all offerings
went on a to 10-cent higher basis.
Quality of today's hogs as a rule is
good Tops sold at 1910, which was
also the bulk price. Several loads of
prime heavy hogs were here and sold
early for the top, 1910. Pig trade was
nominal. Bulk of pigs went at $3.50,
with some sales reaching as high as
$7.75 and $500.
About 100 head of cattle were here
Friday from valley points. All was
OF medium and fair quality and bulk
was taken by feeders. There was
nothing in Saturday outside of few
dairy maids" Last week total re-
ceipts were one of the heaviest ever
received here Over 5000 head were
received against 100 the week pre-
vious. Today's market opened with
about 900 unlOaded. The market was

BUILDING PLANS
Necessary Money Is Pledged to
Insure Modern Structure
BUILDING COMMITTEE APPOINTED
AND GIVEN FULL AUTHORITY.
Old Building VIII Be Used As Annex
to New, and Separated From 1t BY
Movable Screen.

At the completion of canvess dur
ing which the pledges for the neces-

Methodists at a meeting Monday night
finally determined to proceed with
their plans for the construction of a
new church and appointed building
committee to carry out the program.
The members of the committee are
Rev. G. L. Bent, H. E. Rounds, A. Est
ling, Charles H. Hushaw, d. Moffatt,
r, l.. Ashton and F. Lee Johnson. 1t is
expected that the contract will be let
within few days.
The two lots on Shoshone street adj
joining the present church building,
have been purchased and the new
structure will be extended on them. 1t
is planned to utilize the present
church building, by taking out the
west wall and inserting a screen be-
tween it and the new building, so that
the present auditorium can be added to
the new one when occasion demands.
The new building will be of the
most modern type.

Twin Falls dropped her game to Ru-

from the previous game played in
Twin Falls in which the locals romped
away with the game to 0, but the
east enders had little difficulty in
landing on Harris deliveries in the
first frame and before the umpire had
called the three outs, Rupert had the
game nicely tucked away with three
TALES. Twin Falls frightened after
this inning but the setback was too
great and the local boys couldn't re-
cover. Twin Falls made her lone
score in the fifth. Frambach pitched q
good game for Rupert, while another
feature of the game was the long hit
by Watson over the left field fence
good for a two-bagger If the hit had
been good for five more feet it would
have been a home run. The batteries
were: Twin Falls, Hart and Butler
Rupert, Frambach and Hansen.

thorized to pass upon it.
Secretary Bakers arrival had been
awaited all day with intense interest be-
cause OF the report preceding him that he

President had been spending a great deal
of time and care.

draft. Answering questions OF the re-
porters. Secretary Baker said:
1T is true that l have brought the
Presidents platform suggestions. or
course. l shall not give them out or dis
cuss them until the committee receives
them. I have only one typewriter copy

from the President to the committee, so
confidential that even put It under my
pillow when I went TO bed last night on
the train"
Government ownership of telegraph and
telephone lines and woman suffrage are
two of the sixteen planks which Samuel
GOmpers and a committee representing
the American Federation of Labor have
brought here and are to urge on the
resolutions committee. All the Gompers'
planks are generalization. which. among
other things. call for the betterment OF
the condition OF the laboring classes as
the fundamental step in national pre-
paredness.
A strong plank calling for the restric-
ton Of immigration is another demand

more consideration from the Democrats
than it ever has before. There are many
here who think IT is going to be more
of an issue in the campaign than has
been generally expected

party going any further than the Repub-
licans did. They approved formally of
women voting, but declared it to be a
State question
With the arrival of the antis. led by
Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, OF New York,
the suffrage battle lines have been drawn
and the resolutions committee has its
work cut out for it.
