Hosnital Ships Misused

Berlin, via Sayville wireless, Jan. 81.
Declaring it has proof of misuse Of
hospital ships by the allies, Germany
today gave formal notice that free
passage of hospital ships in certain
zones in the channel would hereafter
be withheld.
1.-THE German government has con
vincing evidence in hand that hostile
hospital ships have frequently been mis-
used for the transportation of ammuni-
ton and troops. ,
"The government has communicated
these proofs to the British and French
governments by diplomatic means and
at the sac time declared that passage
of hospital ships on the military road OF
the hostile armies engaged in France
and Belgium, within the lines of Flam-
borough Head and Terschelling, on the
one hand, and the Thames and Land $
End, on the other hand, win be no more
so treated.
"The hostile powers are free to use
hospital ships for the transportation OF
wounded and sick army members on
wavs outside of this district.
"In case there are further mlsusees
of hospital ships against the law of ma,
tions, barring of other sea routes VIII
be reserved.

Exhibition Aviator viii
Be Employed by Japan

Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. 31.-With Art
Smith, world S foremost exhibition av-
iator, speeding towards San Francisco,
his little mother here today divulged his
plans, and added a hope that the mes
sage calling her to his side for jour-
ney to the Orient might not be long
delayed,
Art expects to sail for Japan about
March l. There he expects to spend
some time with the japanese army fly
ing corps, teaching them to weather the
fitful air currents of their island. He
will also conclude the schedule of
flights that was interrupted when he
fell nearly year ago, breaking his
leg.
Art started for the west coast yester-
day from Chicago.
"Arthur expects TO make all the prin-
cipal Japanese cities" said his proud
mother today.
He hasn't given up his plass for or
ganizing company to manufacture
planes for commercial use, and he ex-
poets in Japan to interest japanese
capital in his plans" she said

brought about, our commercial interests
will suffer irreparable injury.
"We have heretofore pointed out
that the greater portion of this magnif-
iecnt territory, being solely dependent
on your lines for transportation facili-
ties, special efforts should be made 10
care for the business offering.
"We think we are justified in say
ing that in no other portion of the ter
ritory traversed by the Southern Pacific
lines is there such a uniform Offering
of business, or such heavy loading of
equipment or equal volume of traffic
offered at all times Of the year as here
in Oregon.
Commission Helpless.
"This commission has done all in its
power to relieve and mitigate the exist
ing conditions and to impress upon you
the seriousness of them and yet we are
being criticized and held responsible for
things absolutely beyond our control. A
complete and adequate survey of trans
portation requirements, full investiga-
tion of the cutting capacity of mills
served, and fair and equitable distribu-
tion of all equipment and some definite
statement as to the future will alone
satisfy your Oregon customers. In the
light of the past, business men cannot
be expected to invest money in new in
dustries or to maintain those already in
existence and operate them to maxi
mum capacity without positive assur-
ance that future transportation facili-
ties will fully and adequately meet the
demand. Unless immediate and positive
efforts of securing more power and ad-
ditional freight equipment are adopted,
this year will be a duplication of the
very unsatisfactory conditions existing
last year, Will you arrange to prompt
lv meet this need?'

Humors in the blood cause internal

other eruptions. They affect all the
organs and functions, membranes and
