infallible, requires only little time
to come into full effect and wear the
German submarines out. 1t is a
model Of simplicity. The press has
been liberal in its announcement, of
Marconi's device, but while extending
encouragement to Marconi, it must
not be overlooked that the genius who
perfected one of the most monumental
advances in maritime navigation has
devoted his unremitting consideration
to the menace and this resourceful
American, too, has worked toward the
device along independent lines"
Asserting that the British have bet
ter submarines than the Germans, the
message continues:
"Only little time is needed for, our
preeminent inventive brains to out
strip the pirate professors and by a
method which is simplicity itself we
have already the lift of the U-boat
campaign measured"

Considering Devices.

Washington, May 26.-The naval
consulting board held another meet
ing here today going over suggestion
for anti-submarine devices. No an.
nouncement was made.
Guglielmo Marconi, here with the
Italian war mission, was to have ap-
peared before the board today, but
was i'll. He expects to accept the
boards invitation to address it's next
meeting. Peculiar interest attaches
to the invitation because of published
reports that Signor Marconi has dis
covered an effective way of dealing
with submarines. He has indicated
to American naval officials, however,
that the reports were unauthorized
and his appearance before the board
probably will be in connection with
radio telegraphy or kindred subjects.

Paris asersts officially that each

that vain counter-attacks cost the re-

reads in part:
"The German Government will in
the future prevent all traffic by hos

and in the Mediterranean, including
the road left open for Greece and will
regard hospital ships appearing there
in as war vessels and attack them
immediately"
Germany, the announcement adds,
will allow the transport of the ill and
wounded from Saloniki on Greek rail-
ways to Kalamata harbor and thence
on hospital ships to Gibraltar on the
following conditions:
Firstly. These hospital ships on
the road left open to Greek shipping
must proceed at a rate Of speed pre-
viously reported to the German Gov
ernment.
"Secondly. That. the name of the
vessel and the time Of arrival and
departure be communicated to the
German Government six weeks in ad-
vance.
"Thirdly. That a representative of
the neutral government representing
Germahy's interests in the particular
country in question shall certify be-
fore the departure of the hospital
ship that she carries only the ill,
wounded and nurses and no goods
other than materials for treating
them."

LEVER FOOD BILL
PASSES CONGRESS
Measure to Survey and Conserve the
Resources of the Nation is Step
Nearer Law.

Washington, May 28.-Without a
roll call the Lever bill for food sur
vey was passed by the house today.
The bill allows the secretary of agri-
culture to spend $14,522,O0O for food
survey and stimulation of production.
The senate has yet to pass the meas
ure. Today by vote of 35 to 81 that
body cut down an appropriation of
$4,000, 900 in the Gore-Lever food sur
vey bill for the eradication of diseases
and pests of cattle to 1926, 900. Fur
ther efforts will be made to cut down
other appropriations before the bill
comes up for final vote, probably to-
morrow.
Penalties.
Senator Poindexter's bill providing
three years. Imprisonment for persons
in interstate or foreign commerce at
tempting to corner food or fuel was
reported favorably by the senate ju-
dietary committee this afternoon. An
attempt will be made to tack the bill
to the pending food survey bill.
Two or three weeks is the limit set
by Secretary Houston for taking of
the food census.
Another point emphasized by Secre-
tary Houston was that there seemed
to be popular misconception as to
the cost Of taking the food census.
Half million dollars is the high
water mark, because most of the ma
chinery for making a food survey is
part of the Department of Agricul-
lures organization. In the taking of
the census, postmasters, state food
organizations and other local agencies
will be employed.
Conserve Seed.
The total appropriation asked bv
the Department of Agriculture is
made up Of many items. One of them
as passed in the house bill is S5.778.-
600 for conserving next years seed
supplies. The department is author
lied to purchase seed if necessary and
sell or distribute as circumstances de-
mand. Other big items provide for
fighting plant and animal diseases and
the increased activities of the various
bureaus.
Although Secretary Houston's esti-
! mates of $18,500,000 were cut to SID
$4,000, $2,800,0O0 was contained in
items which would not materially af
feet the work Of the department.
Explaining how the Department of
Agriculture could take food census
so quickly and at such a small cost,
Secretary Houston recalled that the
department has 10000 reporters
who collect the data for the various
crop estimates. These men are locat
ed in every section of the country and
will be one Of the greatest aids in
determining just what food stocks
there are in every section.

MILL AND CAMPS
WILL SOON BE OPERATING

]. B. Miller arrived down from
Portland Wednesday evening
preparatory to getting things in
shape for again operating the
camps. Mr.. G.. e. Putnam has
sold his interests in the mill and
logging properties to Mr.. e. j.
McLane of Kelso, Washington.
Mr.. McLane is president of the
McLane Lumber & Shingle Co.,
and operates mills at Kelso.
1t has been arranged to at
once ship the lumber piled in the
yard and on the docks, paying
all back wages due, out of the
receipts from the sale Of this
lumber.
It is thought that the camps
will be operating within three
weeks, and that the mill will be
cutting inside of month. 1t Is
the intention to put more dom
keys in the woods Immediately,
thus greatly enlarging the out
put of the camps. Mr.. Bade in
formed US recently that he was
thinking seriously of operating
two shifts in the mill.

REPORT FROM LAND SHOW

No doubt the readers of the
Leader, especially those who
sent exhibits, will be glad to hear
from the show. Lincoln County
is well represented in nearly all
of its resources. Special word
was given to bring out the dairy
industry and we made the high
est score of any county in this
line making 10.5 points out Of
a possible 15.. while our next
closest competitor scored 81.
We also scored well on orchard
products making S.S out of a
possible 10. Our total score was
6S.O3 and gave us second prize
while Clatsop got first with a
score of 1888. We should con-
slider this a very good score as
three counties scored below so.
We got into special money four
times as follows: 1st Early Free
man potatoes, w. F. Wakefield.
1st. Gold Coin potatoes, G. w.
Crocker. 1st. Spring Wheat,
James Franks. 2nd Climax
oats, f. T. Radiant.
The idea of a coast county
winning a prize on grain has
caused a great deal of comment
among grain growers.
The manufacturing exhibits
are fine and the musical con-
certs are also good but with the
exception of the fruit, the agri-
cultural exhibit at the State
Fair was better than at this
show.
The crowd is rather small ex-
cept evenings. The free ad-
mission for soldiers brings quite
a good many of them and the
iitney dance every evening helps
to draw a crowd.
The management Is fine and
everyone seems to feel at home.
If you come to Portland before
the show is over, don't fail to
make 1t a visit. The location Is
on Third Street between Cla,
and Market. Open from 100 to
