BRITISH BARK MEATH
HAS BEEN TORPEDOED.

Washington, Mar 29.-Between
the lines OF what at first appeared
to be conflicting state department
cablegram. naval men today patched
out the story OF how German sub
marine torpedoed the British bark
Meath, took her captain hostage and
then herself was captured by Brit
ish ship. A message from Consul
Frost at Queenstown said the cap
tain had been taken prisoner and
also advised later that he was landed
at Queenstown the following day.
What at first seemed to be con-
flicting statement, however. convinc-
ed navy men that the English had
bagged the Z boat and freed the
lcaptain.
Frost's message reads:

steam power. 1890 tons, bound

GERMAN SOCIALISTS
MAKING DEMANDS

London, Mar. a9.--German I'M
perial Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg may strive to stave on a
growing sentiment for democratixing
OF Germany today by a new peace
proffer. At the very least he is ex-
pected to announce sweeping reforms
in Germany's governmental struc-
ture, permitting more active par
ticipation by the people, according
to rumors here.
Dispatches today indicated the
most intense interest in Berlin in the
speech which the chancellor was
scheduled to deliver to the reichstag
this afternoon.
For the first time German social
lists have united in formidable de-
mands which the government ap-
parently realizes have the backing OF
a large part OF the people. These
demands are aimed at the very foun-
dations Of the present governmental
system and have been accelerated
greatly by full realization OF the
overthrow OF autocracy in Russia.
Herr Scheidmann. socialist. who
has heretofore supported the gov.
ernment's policy, was said to have
warned the chancellor that the dem.
locratizing OF Germany must start al
once. Dispatches from Berlin even
hinted that the socialists are demand
ling immediate institution OF a con
lstitutional monarchy like England
claiming that Germany Is the onl,
autocratic government now left alive
and In order to maintain the friend
ship in future years Of the rest o.
the worlds democracies, she mus

ENCOURAGING INDUSTRY

There ia chance for the boys
and girls Of Josephine county to make
pocket full Of money this summer
in the offer of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
company. Any good active youngster
can grow an acre OF sugar beets by
his own labor, and perhaps draw
down one OF the prizes offered. And
the prize is not the only inducement
to the making OF the offer. An acre
in the Rogue valley last year pro-
duced 2S tons OF beets. That would
put $196 in the bank for the boy
who does all the work himself. But
suppose he falls short OF the record.
and only gets half as much tonnage,
he has still made a pretty good re-
turn for the effort required Then,
too. he might by the use OF fertilizer
and water and diligence, produce a
crop such as Mr.. Campbell told us
had been produced in Nebraska by
the highest type OF culture. or Al
tons per acre And the Rogue val
ley can do II II any country e4a. =
crop OF Al tons mean s2S7 next oc-
tober. That OF itself would be some
prize. Two acres OF sugar beets,
properly culticated upon good soil.
will put a boy through college.

U-B0AT RUNS INTO MENAGERlE

ably Will Doubt.

London.-A naturalist correspond
ent narrateS queer war adventure
he had with & menageric recently.
Elephants parrots. monkeys. Il pair of
ieopardS and some antclopeS were
slowed on big steamship which two
torpedoes luckily missed. But the ves-
sci had gun, and II went off. So. as
it weres did the menagerie. You may
not believe MI this naturalist says,
any more than the tales of AZ angler
or golfer. you may refuse to accept
the showers of eggs from the fright
ened parrots, or that the leopardS
changed their spots which are now Of
a decidedly paier hue. But from his
amused horror about 1t there is no
doubt that the menagerie went mad,
and that--though the ships gunner
may deny ii as a CAUSE.-THE German
U-boat disappeared. The elephants
trumpetcd, and kept ii up and the big
cats. monkeys and parrots made a
noise like fends coming up for the
crowp prince"
