S.Patrol Kills
Two on Italian
UnderseaBo
Fires by Mistake During
Night Duty; Daniels
Expresses Regret

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Nice- -Adml-
raj Sims cabled the Navy Department
to-day that an American patrol vessel,
on duty at night in the war zone, had
fred on an Italian submarine which
failed to answer recognition signals,
killing one officer and one enliste !
man.
Secretary Daniels at once sent 4
message to the Italian Ministry OF
Marine, expressing his deepest regret
over the unfortunate occurrence and
rendering his and the American navy's
sympathy for the loss of life.
Tonight the Navy Department is
sued this statement, signed By Secre-
tary Daniels:
"The Navy Department has been in
formed by Vice-Admiral Sims that re-
Gently an American patrol vessel, while
on patrol duty at night, encountered
an Italian submarine, and that, when
the latter failed to answer the estab-
lished recognition signals, the patrol
vessel opened fire, which resulted in
the killing of one officer and one en-
listed man before the identity Of the
submarine was established.
"Vice-Admiral Sims is thoroughly in
vestigsting the unfortunate occurrence
and reports will be forwarded later 10
the department.
The Secretary of the Navy, upon
receipt Of the first news, dispatched
the following message to the Italian
Minister of Marine:
"I have learned with deepest regre,
Of the unfortunate occurrence which
resulted in an American patrol vessel
firing, through misunderstanding
upon an Italian submarine. causing the
death Of one officer and one enlisted
man on the latter.
"'As our patrol vessels are in Eu-
ropeen waters primarily for the pur-
pose Of cooperating with the Italian
and other Allied vessels IN our COM
mon cause, the unfortunate encounter
is all the more regrettable. Due to
the recent unusual activity OF enemy
submarines in this region, which have
resulted in the loss OF several vessels.
the patrol had been strictly maintained
and the unfortunate fac. that the
patrol vessel did not obtain the recog-
milton signals resulted in her opening
fire. Please accept on behalf of my
self and the American navy sincere and
heartfelt sympathy for the loss of life
which has resulted.''
While details of the incident still
are unknown here, the fact that an Of
ficer and an enlisted man were killed
indicates that the American gunners
landed shot in the submarines con-
ming tower, the victims being the Of
ficer at the periscope and the blue
Jacket at the wheel

NTASHINGTON. Oct. s.-The sub
w ject of enemy aliens is one
that cannot be mentioned in official
hearing without producing symptoms
of irritation. The situation is baf-
fling. There is but one rational solu-
tion, which is to intern all German
citizens but that is job which the
government is very loath to tackle
Meantime. the fact that enemy aliens
are employed in practically all the
laboratories and factories of the coun-
try, even in hundreds Of plants doing
essential work for the government,
cannot be thought o. without qualms
Of uneasiness.
The feelings OF employers are mixed
and irrational. because 1t is q mixed
and irrational situation. They say,
first. that the enemy aliens in their
plants are safe" or loyal; second
ly. that you could not dispense with
their labor without disrupting indus
trial processes. and, thirdly, that in
any case they are closely watched.
One very large concern, producing
work of the utmost importance for
the government, offers the unique ar
gument that its enemy aliens are less
dangerous where they are than they
would be if they were turned out OF
their jobs and left unmatched

British Shells
Crush Assault
On Ypres Line
Barrage InAicts Severe
Losses on Charging
German Columns

LONDON. Oct. S.-Despite unfavor-
able weather conditions, the battle
front east Of Ypres continues the scene
OF intense activity. To-day's British
official report describes another costly
and futile German counter attack in
force, while Berlin tells Of strong Eng
lish advances, which it says were re-
pulsed.
Undoubtedly, Haig's vast array of ar
tillery is preparing the way for another
sweep forward to clear the foe from
those parts Of the Passchendsele ridge
10 which he still clings. How soon the
infantry attack will come depends on
the weather. The field OF battle is now
a sea Of mud, such as stifed the Somme
offensive last year. The sun shone to-
day, but il will take several days TO put
the ground back into fighting condi-
tion.
The Germans put down heavy bar
rage along many miles of the Flanders
front last night and then rushed to
the assault en- a front Of little over
a quarter Of mile east OF Polygon
Wood, near Reutel. British shells and
machine gun bullets caught the storm
ing hosts and inflicted such severe
losses on them that the attack WAS
quickly beaten back, according to the
official statement, leaving few prison.
ers in English hands.
Ludendora declares English storming
troops were brought up for several
local attacks after a strong drumfre
between Houtholst Wood and the
M.nin Road, the main battle front, but
were kept back in the crater field by
the German barrage.
The German commander also de-
scribes a French advance attempted
near Vauxaillon, at the western ehd
of the Chemin-d des-Dames. According
70 the statement, several French COM
panies advanced, but were repulsed by
the Teuton artillery.
Both sides dwell on the intense artil-
lery fire which continues over most OF
the Western front. Undoubtedly the
Germans are being severely harassed
in the lowlands east of the Passchen-
daele Ridge by the British batteries
nosted on the height just wrenched
from Won Arnim's men. The German
oTc;al statement calls attention to the
violence of the artillery duel on ootn
sides of the Laon-Soissons road.

Progress Of Liberty
Loan Campaign

Figures given out yesterday again
emphasized the need for greatly in
creased energy on the part Of the
Liberty Loan campaigners if the New
York district was to raise its l,500,-
O00, 900 quota in four weeks.
The highest official estimate Of the
total subscribed up to last night
was $3.50, 100000.
If the pace required to meet the
allotment had been maintained
s62 $500 900 a day-the total for the
seven days would have been s437,-
10000.
Thus the subscriptions are $751;
100000 behind.
Formal announcements of new ap-
plications were few yesterday, and
the days total was said to be not
over sl0,000,000.

MAN IN JAIL CHARGED
WITH BURGLARIZING

Sheriff George McDuffee returned
the first of the week from the Rush
creek camp of L. V. Gentry, with
Wm Clark. Clark Is now in the
county Jail, having waived prelimin-
airy examination on a charge of bur-
glarizing one of Gentry's sheep
amps He has been placed under
so bonds to await the coming of
lie grand jury, He has not yet been
| able to secure the bonds.
Clark was victim of suspicion on
the part of Tom Stanliff, one of Mr..
Gcntry's herders and Billy Hill, camp
tender. A large quantitv Of provis-
| ions and gun had h-C.l taken from
Stanliff's camp. Ine pilferer was
trailed distance of IL miles by the
herder and camptender and when
caught, was found to be Clark.
Camptender Hill left at once for
the Ranger station four miles away
to phone to Sheriff McDuffee at
Heppner and Stanliff induced Clark
to go with him back to the sheep
camp to square things up with Mr..
Gentry. Clark went along and it was
only few hours until Mr.. Gentry ar
rived in camp in his automobile, ac-
companied by Sheriff McDuffee and
Mack Gentry. Clark was surprised
but offered no resistance when told
that he was to accompany the sheriff
back to town.
At the present time, Clark is out
on bonds charged with stealing
horses in Grant county. He formerly
lived on the John Day river but dur
ing the past year has not been per-
manently located at any one place.

The type Of pavement figured on in

sitions for paving, in detail, but it
was impracticable to set forth the de-

The committee is of the opinion,
based upon it's investigations, that
Bitulithic pavement is the best pave
ment for this locality, and the cheap
est in the long run.
1t is the opinion Of the committee
that some system should be worked
out whereby percentage of the cost

CHAIRMAN THANKS THE
LOCAL r. G. CHAPTER

The following letter has been re-
ceived from Chairman Dawson of the
National Red Cross War Council
which is self-explanatory.
Washington, d. c., June 80, 1917.
Prs. Phil Cohn,
Heppner. Ore.
Dear Mrs. Cohn:
At the close of the wonderfully
successful campaign for the Red
Cross War Fund | intended, in be-
half of the War Council, to send you
and your associates, a telegram Of
thanks and congratulation Tor your
splendidly effective work. On reflec-
ton, however, l decided in view of
the nationwide extent of our organi-
cation that it would be more econom-
ical, and equally satisfactory, to
write to you instead of telegraphing.
We of the War Council are deeply
grateful TO you, to your colleagues,
to the devoted men and women of To-
cal Red Cross Chapters and Auxil-
iaries, and to every element and in
dividual in your community who aid.
ed by service and contribution.
There is no method by which we
can reach the legion of individuals,
organizations, churches, newspapers
societies, banks, companies and firms
whose united effort has provided this
great fund for humanity, and il
through your press and by other
means you can make public express
sion of our gratitude we shall deeply
appreciate the courtesy. Their Joint
accomplishment has stirred the pride
of every American.
l wish to add my personal thanks
to you, and through you, to all who
contributed to the splendid result.
Very sincerely yours,
H. P. DAWSON,
Chairman, Red Cross War Council
