Must Count America !

A dispatch from Copenhagen says:
Capt Won Salzmann, military critic
Of the Berlin Vossische Zeitung, de-
votes two columns to the military in
fiuence of America on the war, in
which he says it will be necessary to
reckon If the struggle lasts until
1913. He states the powerful infiu-
ence of American Intervention on
Germany's opponents and on neu-
trails Is already evident and that the
effects must not be underestimated.
Capt. Won Salzmanu says that in
regard to quality the American SOL
diers will not attain the standards Of
brilliance characterizing the French
and German armies, or their talent in
leadership, finessee in execution and
quickness Of decision, but that
Americas military contribution, like
Great Britain's will find expression
in numbers and mechanical applica-
tion Of brute power. Americas num-
bers, he writes, are counted upon by
the entente In respect of men, artil-
lery and particularly aviators. In
corporated in divisional units with
British and French troops, as Capt.
Won Salzmann expects the American
forces to be, he says they will be wor-
thy opponents.
Nevertheless the Americans will
not affect the result on the Western
front, he writes, because Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg says the sub
marine will force decision before
they become decisive factor.

This choice romantic sentiment, ut
tered by Charles ". Embody, wealthy
Portland timberman, while asleep and
overheard by Mrs. Embody, whose
first name is Lillian, caused him to be
divorced today.
She charged that he was over atten-
tive to her niece, Helen Clark, Of
Washington, Indiana. Mrs. Embody al.

wrongfully jealous of Dr. Felix Leng-
field of San Francisco, who, she says,
is ga friend of her family, old, blind
and infirm. Embody, in turn, declar-
ed in his answer and cross complaint
that DR.. Lengfeld is "one of the fore
most chemists on the Pacific coast and
reputed to be worth S50,000."
Embody withdrew his answer and
cross complaint yesterday and the di-
vorce degree was signed. Alimony of
$3.50 a month, a one third interest in
timber holdings valued at more than
$l25,000 and $4,000 attorney fees were
asked by Mrs. EmbOdy originally, but
these demands were waived as a prop
erty settlement was reached out of
court. The terms of the agreement are
not of public record, but her attorneys
say they are highly pleased. Among
the property she is known to receive

100 CARLOADS WHEAT
TO Be SHIPPED DAILY
Northwest VIII Keep This
Shipment Up for Two
Months

Portland, Or, April 17.--One hun
.dred carloads of wheat day for the
next two months will be rushed from
the three northwest states to the At
lantic seaboard for shipment to the al
lies. Railroads, cooperating with the
shippers at the suggestion, it is said,
of the American and British govern
ments, will give the grain shipments
the right of way across the continent
Ten hf1hon bushels are held in north
west warehouses awaiting shipment to
England and France, accordisg to au-
Ithoritative estimates. The average ear
holds 1400 bushels. When shipment
start on the 100 cars day schedule,
wheat win be moved at the rate of
10000 bushels a day. 1t will require
.u days to transport the wheat across
the continent Northwest wheat is said
to bring $3.50 today delivered on the
Atlantic seaboard.
Water shipments of grain from north
Pacific ports this year have been un-
usually light, and the car shortage has
prevented any extensive movement of
grain by rail. As a result the northwest
still has a large amount of wheat on
hand, and it is this stock which in nor
NAL times is sent to Europe by water
