 With the jingo press of the nation constantly hammering this and other equally absurd rot into our heads, it is small wonder that we look upon every thing Japan does with suspicion and dstrust of her motives.
 Yet in spite of all this, one cannot but see in the evident inclination of Japan to escape entrance into the European struggle as somewhat deeper reason than a mere matter of ships and money. If Japan has not the money tO finance an army expedition to Europe there is hardly a doubt in the world that what she lacks will be provided by others.

TEXT OF NEW LAW REQUESTING
 ASSESSMENT WORK

A letter from Delegate Chas Sulzer to the Secretary of the Nome Chamber of Commerce. rcccWcd today, contains the text of thc recent congressional enactment abolishng the annual per formancc of assessment work on min ing claims for the years 1917-191S. The resolution reads as follows:
 (S. J. RES 7S)
 Joint resolution to suspend the re- qurcmcnts of annual assessment work on mining claims during the years 1917 and 1918.
 Ecsolvcd. etc, That in order that labor may be mos: effectively used in r.ising and producer those things needed in the prosecution of the pres eut war with Germany, that the pro- visions of section 2324 of .hc Revised statutes of the United States which requires on each mining claim located, ana Qllill 't Il'tNtHt llttS ''''lA 4'-''''N' therefore, not less than s10O worth of labor 10 be performed or Improvements to be made during each year, be, and the same is hereby, suspended durinG the years 1917 and 1918: Provided, That every claimant of any such min8 ing claims in order to obtain the bcnc- fits of this resolution shall file or cause to be filed in the office where the location notice or certificate is re- corded on or before December 3l, of each of the years 1917 and 1918, no- uce of his desire to hold said miRiney .olam under this resolution; Provided iurtLcr, That this resolution shall no. apply to oil placer locations or claims.

the world-Germany not excepted. The addition of the Japanese to the ranks of the entente nations would re- 1 suit in tremendous increase in the allied strength and would be a serious blow to the Germans The Japanese have long since proved their mcttle as fighters and no one who remembers their deeds in the Russo-Japanese war will dccry the statement that they might prove the deciding iphucncc in the European struggle
 In view of the immense military value of the Japanese forces, one can hardly believe that the allies would al- low a mere matter of money to stand in the way of bringing them to Europe And. although Japan has suffered some war losses in the line of ships the ton mage situation would not appear to he an msumountahlc bar to sending her troops to assist in conqnering the common enemy.
 In spite of her ship losses. Japan has great fleet of merchant ships in the Pacific trade. including some fthc largest now unoat. In addition she ha, large transport fleet and d war navy which ranks among the leading naval establishments of the world
 Now that the great British naval armada has been reduced to such rela- uvcly small proportions, it is more than probable that Japan possesses the greatest navy. including all classes of ocean going ships of any individual nation in the world.
 with such ship rcsouccs at her com mand is womb seem that she would be able to provide carriage for at least
 7, portion of her troops if necessary monetary assistancc is provided.
 \s remarked before there may be moro practical grounds for Baron Chis1na's statement than appears at th.~ distance. but in view of her ob- vious reluctance toward entering the war. save when it paid her well as in the cosc of Kiao- Chau for instance, one can hardly escape the conviction that Japan is saving herself for more profitable enterprises than joining in the European conflict The undcrly- ing reason may be that she k disin- cnned to lose the immense commercial
 trade acquired through the withdrawal
 of large portion of her competitors since the commencement of the war , era. or again il may be that she mere " desires 10 stay out of the war until l it is clearly seen that there is no other | alternative than to enter. Or it may hc as We suggested al the start. that
 Jaran has an ultcrior object in wishing l to retain her military strength intact
 while the rest of the nations are grad ually weakening themselves in the cf-
 fort to conquer the universal foe. N-
 lowing for every contingency, the idea
 still will not down that Japan is stall
 ing for some reason known only To her ] self

Bisbee, Ariz., Sept. 14.-A. s. EN-
brec, leader, and chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the deported r.
W. w. with thirty-two other members
of the organization who were deported,
arrived here today at noon.
Embree was promptly arrested
charged with melting a riot here on
July IL (the day before the deporta-
%tions), and lodged in the county Jail.
Orville Wright, one of the arrivals,
who is 26 years old and has been called

he belonged to the |. w. W.. and as
serted his willingness to enter the
army. Sheriff Wheeler congratulated
him on his Americanism, and said that
he will be permitted to remain here.
All the other arrivals are said to be
unmarried, and to own no property
here. They were ordered to leave by

TO THE DEFICIENCY BILL
Fitzgerald Warns Country
That All Classes Must Paw
Wars Tolls

Washington, Sept. 14.-Over $4,000
000,00 was added to the urgent def
cheney bill when the house began work
on it today. Instead of $4$,S SO, 900,
600, the measure will carry close to
1878, 900 900, 900. All extra expenditures
are for unexpected war purposes, .
Chairman Fitzgerald of the house APP
preparations committee said.
Opening debate on the urgent def
cheney bill, Fitzgerald said that be-
lore the year is over, it would be nee
essary to eonseript so per cent of prof
its and sixty per cent of big incomes.
No man has as yet, he declared, an adj
equate conception of the tremendous
financial problem the nation faces. No
classes of people and no form of wealth
will escape paying its war toll, he said.
Fitzgerald declared emphatically
against the proposed congressional com
mittee on the conduct of the war.
Fitzgerald cited French and English
examples of the necessity of entrust-
ing the conduct of the war to a limit
ed number of persons, saying:
"The war expenditures committee
would be al espionage committee, a
meddling committee and an interfering
committee"

10 believe that the time will come
when we shall be known as the

The war has had a tremendous

have learned, through this expe-
rience, to place a much higher
value on thrift than ever was the
case before. We have seen that
prohigacy has no place in that
stern order of things that exists i'll

crisis. We see that our ucces in
the present emergency depends, to
a considerable extent, or the per-

In the matter of food, for one
thing, the rigid necessities of the
situation have compelled us to
eliminate waste. And we have
found that we can do this without
inconvenience. In fact. we shall
all be bette off If we are more
careful Of our food. It is said that

Market Strengthens
But Price Change Small

New York, Sept. 1.-THE New York
Sun financial review today said:
Considerable strength was impaired to
the general list in today's stock mar
ket by operations of the short interests
to cover their accounts for the week
end recess, Transactions were wholly of
professional Inspiration. ASIDE from the
buying to make good borrowed stocks,
there was practically no initiative.
What little buying on the part of the
banking interests and other there has
been in evidence in recent sessions was
conspicuous by its absence today. Of
fers were not plentiful at prevailing
10 wlevels and the result was that prices
in many cases had to be bid up quite
sharply in order to call out the needed
supply. The turnover was materially be-
low that of Yesterday and Wednesday.
Sentiment was fairly cheerful.
The copper shares proved to be the
most consistently strong of any in tho
list. Gains of l IL to 2 IA points were
made in the group.

GRAND SURY IND|CTS
BRADLEY FOR MURDER
Is For Second Degree
Not a True Bill Against
George Faber

Second degree murder is the charge
placed against A. E. Bradley, of near
Turner, who shot and instantly killed
Fred Moore with a shotgun a few
weeks ago, according to the report of
the grand jury to Judge Kelly this
morning. His trial has been set for
Friday, September 81.
Bradley shot Moore when he found
him taking oats from his field one
night late in August. There is said to
have been bad blood between the men
and when Bradley found Moore in act
of taking the oats he fired, the charge
striking Moore full in the breast. He
died instantly and Bradley jumped on
a horse and rode post haste to the
penitentiary where he gave himself up
to the authorities. lie was turned
over to the sheriff.
The grand jury returned tho follow
ing indictments n addition to the one
against Bradley:
State of Oregon against William Bin
go, charged win assault with u deadly
weapon; trial set for Thursday, sep
TENDER 20.
State of Oregon against Wayne Ar
gensinger, charged with exploding
dynamite in the Santian river contrary
to the laws of the state. He pleaded
guilty and was fined $50 or a term in
Jail. The fine was made the minimum
on account of the fact that it was his
first offense. There have been others
dynamiting the streams and the fish

bill wal found in regard to the aceus-
sation of polygamy and illicit co-habi-
tation with the woman who was with

Bold Bad Burglars
Broke Into Store, Also
Robbed Meat Market

The nerve Of some people IS children!
Last night somebody broke into A.
Daue & Sons grocery store on South
Commercial street and after going
through it and taking what they want
ed. stood outside the back door and
ate green onions.
just before this, this same person
tore the price tags from a pair of trou-
sers he had taken from the store and
donned the trousers. Besides this he,
or they took one pair of shoes, eight
or a dozen assorted pocket knives, six
pair of socks, six packages Of Camel
cigarettes, and one Ingersoll watch.
The burglars entered by breaking
the hook and staple that held the back
door. The break vas between seven
o'clock last night and six o. clock this
morning. The police officers are work
ing on the ease.
Hungry after this strenuous work,
it is believed this same man, or men,
started for the railroad and came by
Hunt Meat Market on Twelfth street
which was entered by breaking the pad
lock on the front door. They took ten
or fifteen pounds OF sausages, bologna
and weinies.
This morning Officer Lucas took a
run out by the s. p. station and ex-
plored the contiguous territory, which
is usually inhabited by passing parties
of hoboes. He investigated certain rem
devious and found evidences of where
sausages had been cooked and weinies
toasted. He found no trace of the men,
however. He is of the opinion that the
burglaries were done by hoboes.

ing, as a nation, and our health will
be better as a result of this econ
omy in the matter of food.
But this is only a small point
compared to the greater benefits
that will come to us as a result OF
learning lessons of thrift in the Bit
ter school of war, and we shall be
equipped as never before to enter
the arena of international business.
Today, the great nations of the
world are fighting battles of steel
and fire. In the era which shall
come with the dawn of universal
peace, it will be a worldwide con-
quest of gold and silver. 1t will be
the period of rehabilitation and re-
adjustment.
The great business men Of
America today are thinking in
worldwide terms. They are study
ing the of trade that reach
to the far corners of the globe,
and in this intense rivalry, each
nation will succeed only in proper
ton to the individual efficiency OF
its citizens. And individual eff
cheney is founded on thrift.
Thrift begets moral stamina and
strength of character. 1t is the
surrender of personal pleasures tor
future profit. 1t is the exercise Of
will, the development of character,
the daily practice of sensible liv-
ing.
There is no danger that during
the period of the war, with the
stern necessities of military condi-
tions imposed upon us, we will re-
lapse into that condition of ma
tional thriftlessness which was
ours before the conflict. But let
us, in the present instance, learn
our lessons of thrift SO well that
when peace shall come. we shall
have q full realization of the value
of this great virtue Let us profit
TO the fullest extent from these
~lessc- we are learnins from this
