WASHINGTON. Dec. G.


Immediately upon convening of the
House this afternoon. Chairman Flood
Of the House Committee on Foreign Az
fairs. presented the report of his COM
mittec's resolution for war against Aus
tria- Hungary. Unanimous consent was
granted for consideration of the reso-
luton at noon tomorrow.
The report which the committee au-
thorized Chairman Flood TO draft re-
cites the outrages which Austria-H Hun
gary has committed against the United
states while the Government of the dual
monarchy has profcssed to be at peace
with this Government.
Plots Of Ambassador Dumba to dis
organize and dynamite munitions and
other industrial plants. while he was
still Ambassador to this country, are
emphasized Other plots, involving
Austrian consuls and diplomatic agents,
against American rights, and Austrian
sympathy with ruthless German sub
marine depredatious are also cited as
justification of entry of this country
into war against Austria.
The enactment Of this declaration"
says the report. involves very little re-
adjustment of the affairs between the
United states and Austria Hungary. be-
cause "A state of war which this coun-
try declares to exist actually has been
fact for many months"
Opening debate clearly showed that
e ....,r L I...-- a. ..,ta
and Turkey among the enemies of this
country has not cooled. despite Presi-
dent Wilson's recommendation.
Representative Miller (Minn), advo-
eating immediate adoption of the Aus
trian resolution. urged that Turkey and
Bulgaria I've included. He secuted the
idea that by withholding such action the
United states might wean these coun-
tries from Germany.
CALLS ENvOYS \ MENACE
"rhe presence of the Bulgarian and
Turkish representatives in Washington
is a menace" Miller declared Many
allied diplomats feel this. Information
of our affairs is daily reaching Berlin,
How, ! shall not attempt to say.
"Thc Turkish sultan belongs on the
bosom of the German Kaiser" Miller
shouted. The Turks must live or die
with Germany. ! hope they die with
her
Miller charged that failure of the
United tSates to supply italy with guns
and war materials was delayed for
months because this country was not
at war with Austria, and that much of
the Italian disaster may be charged
against the United States.
I'VE cannot hope to separate Bull
garia and Turkey from Germany and
| Austria except by force of arms" said
Miller We must throw away these in
| tellectual theories and go in whole
heartedy with our allies in common
cause against all of the enemy"
Miller while emphatically demanding
war on Bulgaria and Turkey, declared
| his willingness to await the Presidents
decision. He was repeatedly applauded.
Possible intimation that the Admins
tration's counsel against an immediate
declaration against Bulgaria and Turkey
| is in reality a play for time until Amer
leans in these countries can leave If war
should ultimately be decided advisable,

COUNTRY DOGS

Gervais, Ore, Feb. 16--Editor CAPITAL
Journal: Why tax the farm dogs9 Even
in England where on account of tho
war, they killed dogs to save food for
the babies, they did not molest the
farmers dogs. They have never, since
the beginning of time, been taxed in
Oregon. Why make extra tax instead
of less, for the farmer, and under any
circumstances since the general value
of man s best friend is less than 81 why
tax from $3.50 to $5 greater proportion
ately than the value of horse9 The
value of our dogs is not money value,
it is love. Why tax love that would
IN some cases pay 81 900 before killing
a dog? We do not take kindly to being
forced to pay tax on sensible dogs
ALLOW me to introduce you to cur farm
dogs between Hopmere and Waconday
Mugg is Ben LaFountaine IS dog, quiet,
sensible little fellow, faithful watch
dog; Sharkey and Keno are w. H. Egg
an s dogs. Poor old Sharkey is Scotch
collie and the best trained dog in the
state, his master being professor, de-
serves the merit for training. Come and
see him work; and Keno is rat terrier
of the best kind. Ella NJ Finney's dog,
Seottie, is a Scotch collie, Is months old,
equally as intelligent as Sharkey. He is
fairly idolized and consequently very
proud. He was formerly owned by the
Jones nursery man, of Salem, and pur-
chased for $3.50. Jim Martin Is dog,
Watch, is an Airdale of the best kind.
Lee Martin Is little dog, Rex, is of that
very essential type, rat terrier, Dess
Martin s dog, a sensible bulldog, and
very much appreciated. Miss Hilma El-
NOR Ahlgren has sensible bird dog
named Dan, and we all object to being
taxed for this fine varity of dogs.

CHAPTER cLxIx.

L
In the days that followed Clifford
never once referred to the conversation
we had had before I left home; never
once showed by his manner that there
was anything wrong, altho nervously
waited for him to do so. 1t was per-
haps easier for me that he had insisted
upon removing his trunk to the little
village hotel when he found how full
the house was of Zona Is guests.
Morton Levering was evidently puz-
zled. Clifford had appeared glad to re-
new their acquaintance, and when we
were all together there was absolutely
nothing in his manner to show that we
were anything but the most prossaic
married pair. Taking my cue from
him, / too tried to appear natural, rad
succeeded fairly well when others were
around.
Elsie watched rs closely, too closely
for my comfort, but not even to her
did / say another word. Altho when
she was around / tried to talk more to
Clifford, and occasionally would defer
some small matter to him for her
benefit.
Joyous Days.
The days were SO full that there was
little time for moping or thinking OF
ones self. Then the. evenings were
given over to dancing Mother in

young guests could get the necessary

The bill giving officers the right to search vehicles
other than railroad cars when they have reason to be-

the trouble is that it makes it possible for any officer to
search almost any auto party anywhere if he chooses
