Insure, caperton's Authority

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The arrival IN
Brazilian waters Of an American Fa-
cific feet squadron commanded by Ao
miral Caperton reveals that the Amer
lean navy has taken over responsible
ity for the patrol Of that region against
German raiders.
Caperton's rank as an admiral and
feet commander insures his seniority
and therefore his authority over any
other allied craft that may still be en-
gagged in patrol work there.
While navy officials would not dis
close the identity or number OF vessels
in Admiral Caperton's squadron, 1t Is
assumed that they include the cruisers
Of the Pacific fleet, giving the Amer
lean officer a swift and powerful force
for whatever operations he may find
necessary.
1t is generally thought that one OF
the first agreements reached with the
British and French governments pro-
vided that the United States navy
should take over patrol work in At
lantic waters from Newfoundland to
Brazil 1t has not been disclosed
whether the patrol operations of the
American ships extend south of that
point and what arrangements have
been made under which they would be
based at British naval stations or de-
pots in the South Atlantic. Navy off,
Gals decline, for military reasons. to
discuss any details Of the plans.
The government found it necessary
to alter existing law in order to place
Admiral Caperton or an officer Of sim
liar rank in command of the southern
wing Of the patrol line. 1t Is recalled
that some time ago, without giving q
specific explanation, the navy depart
ment obtained from Congress authority
to remove the restriction which allow
ed only three admirals to be appoint
ed, one for the Atlantic feet, one for
the Pacific feet and one for the Asiatic
feet. The law was amended 30 that
the geographical distribution Of the Of
flcers of this rank was eliminated. II
is now understood that the step was
taken so that Admiral Coperton could
be sent to southern Atlantic waters.

Captain Grover Todd of Company

the Southern Pacific that on or be-
fore August the army troops which
have been guarding the railroad
property in Roseburg and Winches-

withdrawn.
Company I, 3rd Oregon Infantry,
which has been in the federal service
for several menths, with headquar-
ters in Medford, has been guarding
the railroad property at these points,
and Colonel Dentler's order means
that with Roseburg and Winchester
left out Captain Todd will have much
less territory to guard and will thus
have more men to guard the remain
ing tunnels, bridges and other South
ern Pacific property between Rose
burg and the other side of the Siski-
yous.

complimented the local appraising
board for their conservatism in their
work and especially their secretary
for his efficient work making out the
applications. About thirty applica-
tions were passed upon by the board
at Spokane and only three technical
errors found. Mr.. Sanford claims
this is the best record yet made by
any secretary.
Mr. Sanford's work will be here
for several days longer, and he in
forms the board that the money will
be available in two or three weeks
after the applications are approved
That means about 100000 will be
distributed through. the local associa-
tion.
Mr.. Rocho, the secretary, advises
all contemplating making applica-
tions to do so at once while Mr.. San
ford is here, which will save consid-
cradle delay.

Third Payment
Due on July 3Oth

The third payment of 20 per cent
on Liberty loan bonds purchased by
insallments is due on July 80. The
payment must be made on or before
that date, according to the Official
statement of terms and conditions of
the sale of Liberty loan bonds made
by Secretary McAdoo at the time
subscriptions were invited.
Whether the bonds were purchased
from the treasury or the federal re-
serve banks or through other banks
or agencies it is important that these
and succeeding installments be paid
promptly.
The action of many employers of
labor In arranging to pay their en-
ployees on July 80 instead of August
in order to enable them to prompt
ly make their payments on Liberty
loan bonds is an excellent and patri-
otic example which no doubt will be
followed by a large number of en-
ployers.

ElkS Give Soldiers
Time Of Their Lives

On Monday night at the Elks Tenn
pie the members of the 1st company
were given the greatest time of their
lives. The Honor Guard girls and
the members of the Red Cross Joined
with the Elks lodge to make 1t an
entertainment never to be forgotten.
1t was an open house and everything
was free to the soldiers to have and
to enjoy. About 500 attended the
entertainment.
E. V. Carter, past exalted ruler of
the Elks, Joseph X. Choate, Jr., and
Captain G. A. Malone made short,
snappy speeches. Games of all kinds
were enjoyed and refreshments were
served later in the evening. Dane
ing then began, which lasted till
about o'clock. Loveland's eight
piece Jass orchestra furnished the
music for the. occasion, and the music
was fine. Everyone had grand
time. but the good time enjoyed by
the Coast Artillery boys will be re-
membered long after they leave dear
old Ashland.
