diplomats, and he was at the presi-
dents elbow whenever that person
age needed him.
No one has ever doubted that he
was part Of the machinery which ad-
vised the president what to do and
what not to do, but at the present
time it has become more evident than
ever that he is even more than part
of the great machine of state. He is
the power behind the president.
Colonel House fits on in his own
phantom manner, taking neither
praise nor condemnation seriously
yet playing his own part in the
manipulation of the ship of state.
In the resent serious situation it
was Colonel House whom the presi-
dent first called; on him evidently
one for a minute has any idea that
the quiet Texan will falter in doing
what he considers best for the nation
at large. If he is the power that
steers the ship of state it is evident
that the course will be steered ac-
cording to knowledge and not hear
say. Colonel House is unique figure
in the life of the country, and when
the history of these times of stress is
written he will undoubtedly be recog-
nized as a very important figure.

County Parent-Teachers' Association
Objects to Compulsory Measure.

Military training in the high
schools was formally opposed by the
Thurston County Paren,-Teachers'
association at it's meeting at the
high school last Saturday. on the
ground that it would develop a war
spirit among the youth OF the state
and that it would not reach the class
of boys who needed physical training.
The association also favored
amending the anti-cigarette law SO
that a minor who informs officers
of the dealer who sold him cigar
cites would not be punished. During
the afternoon a musical program was

kindergarten by Rev. H. S. Temple

coanty were represented.

PROOF THAT GERMANS

That the machinery of the big
Hamburg-American liner Saxonia,
now interned at Eagle Harbor. near
Seattle, was disabled and the ship put
out of commission under cover of
darkness February s. on secret orders
of DR.. Emil Ohrt, former imperial
German consul at Seattle, has been
definitely learned by federal officials
from Captain Franz Heller, master of
the vessel, according to the Seattle
Times.
Disclosure of the Saxonia plot,
which resulted in the arrest and de-
tention Of Captain Heller, and IL Of
fiis crew in Seattle, follows close on
the heels of discovery of a huge in
ternational conspiracy alleged to have
been instituted by the Berlin govern
ment to render useless interned Ger
man vessels expected to fall into the
hands of the United States in the
event of war between the two ma
tions.
Testifying in the federal court at
Boston the other day, Captain Charles
A. Polack swore under oath that an
official of the German embassy at
Boston Ordered the engines and ma
chinery of the crack North German
Lloyd Atlantic liner Kronprinzessen
Cecelie disabled when diplomatic re-
lations' between Germany and the
United States seemed at the breaking
point.
Captain Polack said the work Of
destruction was done on January 81
and February / to prevent the use Of
the fast liner by the United States
government in tht event Of hostilities
with Germany.
AS result of the testimony Of Cap
tain Polack, Federal Judge Morton
ordered the owners Of the vessel to
furnish 100000 bonds to guarantee
that no further damage would be
done to the liner and that the damage
already done its machinery would be
repaired.

LAWRENCE VICTIM
OF POLITICAL FEUD
CHARGE MADE By FRIENDS IN
OPEN LETTER AFTER HIS
ACQCITTAL.

That an old political feud in the
Republican party of this state was
back of the recent indictment and
trial of John c. Lawrence, former
state railroad commissioner, with
four other officers of the Northwest
ern General Trading company of Spo-
kane, is the charge preferred by Sen
ator Poindexter to department of JUS
tice officials at the national capital.
and by various prominent friends of
Lawrence in an open letter to the
public, issued this week.
Mr.. Lawrence was acquitted last
week by jury in the federal court
at Spokane, after a lengthy trial,
though the four others indicted with
him were convicted. Senator Poin-
dexter has asked Attorney General
Gregory to investigate and in a letter
to that official points out, as does the
open letter, that NJ. e. Hay, jr., son
of the former governor. was foreman
of the jury which indicted Lawrence,
and declares that the indictment was
manifestly due to the political ami
mus of a member of the jury.
Signers of Open Letter.
The open letter is signed by L. c..
Grow, ex-president of the Farmers
Union. Master c. B. Kegley of the
Washington State Grange; Amir Nc
Curtain, executive secretary of the
Farmers Union; James Hays, presi-
dent of the Farmers Union; H. j.
Herman, a member of it's executive
president; J. P. Hill, T. O. Mansfield,
a director of the Farmers Union;
Geo. P. Larsen, secretary of the Spo-
kane County Pomona Grange, and l..
H. Jennings, a member of the state
executive committee of the Farmers
Union from 1912 to 1915. The let
ter reads:
ITO the Public:
Nov that Honorable John c. Law
renee has been acquitted, his friends
need no further assurance of his in
nocence. But the wide publicity
given to his indictment and the mani
testify unfair and misleading state
ments published concerning his con-
nection with the Northwestern Gen.
eral Trading Company, ELECTS this
voluntary statement from officers and
members Of the Farmers Union and
Grange responsible for endorsement
of the Trading Company which
brought on an antagonism culminat-
ing in the indictment.
Political Conspiracy.
"Mr. Lawrence's conduct was at all
times honorable and upright in every
respect. There was no attempt at de-
ception He has always been worthy
the fullest confidence imposed in him.
His integrity and public spirit are
above question. The rankest injus-
tice has been done him in what we
believe to be political conspiracy.
The public generally should know
that q son of former Governor M. e.
Hay, while home on q vacation from
an Eastern school, was foreman of
the grand jury which brought the in
dictment.

BANKER'SDEATHDISCLOSES
SHORTAGE OF 100000
President of Chemical National Bank
of New York Said To Have
Been Embezzler.
tBy Associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Comptroll-
er williams issued a statement last
night asserting investigation had dis
closed that the late ]. B. Martindale,
president of the Chemical National
bank of New York who died in July,
1917 was an embezzler and forger to
the extent of about 100000. The
amount was taken, the comptroller
announced, from the account Of a
wealthy depositor and the bank has
arranged to make good the entire
sum. Capital and surplus Of the
bank Mr.. Williams said were not
impaired in the slightest degree by
the alleged operations OF Martindale.
The statement follows:
investigations recently made show
that ]. B. Martindale, the late presi-
dent of the Chemical National bank
of New York city who died in July
1917 was an embezZler and forger to
the extent of about 100000. He had
been president of the bank since
December, 1910 and prior to that had
been for number of years it's vice
president.
"The loss will not impair in the
slightest degree the capital and sur
plus of the Chemical bank which
amounts at this time to $10,OO0,00O.
but will be charged out of its "un-
divided profits" which at the present
time amount to over $l,500,000 after
charging of the 100000.

CORN GROWERS
Have CHANCE TO
AID THE STATE
Much of Years Acreage
Will Not Mature-Must
Work For 1913 Crop

North Dakota farmers who are
successful in maturing this seasons
corn crop will be able TO render a
big service to the state by conserv-
ing their seed for next season.
That word comes today from the
extension department OF the North
Dakota Agricultural college. in the
following statement:
The corn in many North Dakota
fields will not become mature enough
for seed. This will mean that these
farmers will have to start over again
with corn. Considerable time will be
saved IL the start is made with
North Dakota grown seed, rather
than with seed from further south.
This means q big opportunity to
those farmers who are fortunate en-
ough to have corn mature. The
more seed they save the larger will
be the acreage that can be planted
with North Dakota grown seed next
spring. There is very little seed corn
carried over, so the price will
likely be high. This is a case where
one can do a good service for ones
fellowmen. and at the same time be
well paid for II.
