ARMY 6 NAVY
CRUISERS WOULD
PLAY Main ROLE

Under the caption IF Our Navy
Goes to War;" The Army and Navy
Journal suggests what the navy may
be expected to do in case it is called
into service. On this point 1t says, in
part: ...s.
Just what role the United States
Navy will play in the event of a war
with Germany our navy strategists
have undoubtedly determined ere this.
and all possible advantage will be
taken Of such lessons as have been
learned from the present war. AS to
what our navy can or can not do, how.
ever, there are many interesting Ques-
tons. 1t seems very certain that our
battleships in the event OF war will
get little or no opportunity to show
their qualities at first, and they would
most probably remain safe in a harbor
behind mine fields awaiting an emery
ency demanding their presence on the
high seas. =
so long as the German high sea
fleet is bottled up in its own waters
by the British fleet there seems no
reason to assume that the situation in
this respect Is going TO change, and as
the great main British fleet can more
than take care of the Germans, our
battleships would hardly be called
upon to seek the German fleet, or per-
form patrol duty along our coasts or
on the high seas, and make themselves
food for German submarines.
1T is known that the Germans for
the last two years have been turning
their attention to the construction OF
lighter craft, such as submarines and
seagoing torpedo boat destroyers and
light cruisers of new and improved
types, and less attention has been paid
TO the construction Of big capital ships.
What our navy then will be called
upon to meet in the event of war will
be the submarine menace to our ship
ping at sea and along our coasts. This
work will require. many fast torpedo
boat destroyers and fast submarine
chasers, well armed, for 1t may be
safely assumed the Germans are put
ting guns of a powerful calibre on the
new craft. To protect our commerce
on the high seas win be the role of
cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers.
Some of our submarines, with the
skill and daring for which our officers
and seamen are noted, may make their
mark, and some Of the light ships
would help in patrol work. If convoy
is necessary, it will be done with our
lighter craft. We therefore see no
particular role for the battleship, ex.
cept as a reserve force to meet the
German high sea fleet in case that
fleet ever gains the high seas, or per-
haps In bombarding some naval base,
which seems very unlikely"

GERMAN GEIER TRIED Once To :.
BREAK BLOCKADE IN CUBAN PORT

I speed ahead, the bqgles sounded al
hands TO quarters and in another in
slant the Manning was tearing through
the water at full speed. Steadily she
cTawled up, and as she did so her of
] fiCers could see the strangers hull
4 steadily rise on the horizon. Then the
/ gun sponsors came In view; her FLAG
was showing, but II was now plain
that the vessel ahead was not only a
large cruiser, but Enthusiastically the
Geier. 4 headline in the coast ahead
| compelled the stranger TO haul out
more to sea, and as she did so she
slowed down. then stopped, and slowly
there fluttered to the gaff end the i'm.
perial flag OF Germany
The Manning, without stopping her
great speed, tore under the Geier's
stern, put her helm hard-a-port and
made full round of the German cruis-
er, as much as to say, well, you
didn't get out without being spoken
to-. AS the Manning spun round the
German the officers Of the Geier stood
at salute, which was CURLY acknow.
lodged from the Manning, and then
as the Manning headed back a great
roar Of laughter burst from her men,
for there, coming down in the distance
as fast as they could steam, was every
one OF the eight little American guard
vessels, the fastest not able TO make
more than 10 knots, and not one car
ryfng more than few 6-pound guns,
but they were all determined to be in
that fight if ii was possible to get
there.
Vital to the Blockade
The significance of the Geier's act
lay In the fact that IL she had been
able TO break through the American
Gordon without being spoken to she
could, on arrival at Vera Cruz, where
she put in few days later, have
cabled to Berlin that the American
pretensions TO a blockade before Ha-
vana were unsarranted, and there
fore the alleged blockade was not rec
ognizaDle. II is principle In interna-
tional law that a blockade to be recog,
nized must be effective
The commander Of one of the block
aiding vessels before Havana on the.
above occasion In writing his report Of
the share which his vessel took in the.
war declared that of all the incidents
which came under his notice during
the West Indian campaign Of 1898 the
one which most vividly impressed him
was the sight of the Manning dashing
in at full speed to engage an enemy
which every one believed. and which
was afterwards shown to be true. was
treble the fighting power Of the ship
that obeyed the order to stop her.

the sellers are more cautious about
letting the metal go. In the import.
ant trade circles improved conditions
are reported. While IL Is admitted
that there are practically no inquiries
for last half shipments ii is stated that
the customers are asking for second
quarter metal in larger volume and
complaints have been heard from some
users in this country of their inability
to place orders for 500 tons distributed
over April, May and June. Individual
foreign consumers are in the market
for copper covering the first half of
this year The amounts are not large
but the fact that export buying ap-
pears on the verge of being resumed
has had considerable effect on senti-
ment in the trade and has resulted in
giving more confidence to the sellers.
More optimistic views with regard to
the outlook for the coming months Is
heard at present than at any time in
weeks and IL is significant that some
of the smaller dealers who had been
making the low offers only ten days

A LOSS TO OREGON.
[Moodburn independent }

(Woodburn independently
United States Senator Harry Lane,
who passed away in San Francisco on
May %, was native of Oregon and OF
an esteemed pioneer family of this
state. He was a man of the people
and remained one who was not asham-
ed Of being counted as of the rank and
file. He was a man of strong con-
victions, an advocate of peace, and
was never afraid to stand for what
he thought was right even if it did not
suit the monied or other aristocracy
of the country. There was no hypOc-
risy about him and therefore he did not
make what many consider an ideal
senator He was fighter for and his
sympathy was without question with
the masses, but he was in the wrong
place in the United States Senate to
air any antitrust opinions. Person,
ally Senator Lane was popular
throughout the state, which feels that
it has met with a great loss in his
death.

Marion County Good Roads Committee
The good roads campaign in Marion
county ends tonight with meetings at
Donald and Liberty Hon. Chris Sehu-
bel, ex-representative from Clackamas
county, and Walter L. Tooze. with a
contingent of Woodburn orators and
boosters, will fill the Donald appoint.
ment which promises big turnout of
good roads enthusiasts. Ex-senator 1.
L. Patterson and Geo. F. Rodgers ad.
dress the voters at Liberty and big
outpouring of citizens is assured. Both
of these gentlemen are splendid speak
ers and thoroughly posted ON all the
provisions of the proposed law.
The decision now rests with the vot-
ers of Marion county and the state. On
a correct conclusion depends the pro-
gress and prosperity of all our people.
If you desire good roads now and an
increased business activity in this and
all other cities and towns in Marion
county and more money for rural roads,
you will vote les, No. 314, on the bal
lot next Monday, June 4. Not one cent
additional tax nor one dollar more in
auto license fees will it cost you. The
success of this measure means the paw
ing of the Pacific highway from Aurora
to Jefferson and the employment of
hundreds of working men at good
wages. Tt means $4,000 saved annual
ly for present repairs on the Pacific
highway that will be diverted to the i'm
provement of county roads.
Vote for it and place Oregon along
side of Washington on the north and
/ Go1 -, /
march of development and commercial
activity. Vote for this measure because
4 it is your patriotic duty as a citizen, SC
to do. The United States secretary of
war asks you to build this highway fol
possible military exigeneies of the flu
ture.
What is your answer9 You will by
a favorable vote build for the city
county, state and nation, and add mil

service at your hands. Your state an(

zens to take this action. Senator George
Chamberlain and Governor Withycomb'
earnestly urge the voters to support thi
meritorous measure which is the great
est piece of legislation promulgated dur
ing the entire history of Oregon. Womel
