German Press Opposes
Polish Annexation

COPENHAGEN, Nov. - The pro-
posed settlement OF the Eastern prob
lem By annexng Po.and to Austria
hungary and Courland and LlthuanIa
TO Germany has few friends in Ger
many, ASIDE from the proponents OF
the idea.
Virtually the entire press opposes IT,
The Conservative and Nationalist
organs are against il, because they fear
the effect OF such step upon their
own anti-Polsh policy in regard to the
Polish provinces Of Prussia. The Lib
eral and Socialist newspapers are IN
dignant at the attempt TO decide
question involving the whole future OF
Germany behind the back Of the
Reichstag, and also resent the efforts
to overturn the anti-anneXation peace
policy set forth in the Rcichstag reso-
luton.
The Socialist organ "Vorwarts," of
Berlin, declares that this adoption Of
an annexationist policy in the most
lrretrievable form puts in the shade
The crisis regarding the CHARACTERISTIC
and all other developments of the day.
It reminds the government that the
Hapsburg monarchy, two parts Of
which are absolutely non-German,
while in the third the German element
has a hard struggle to retain its in
fuence, may at no distant time become
a military danger to Germany.
The "Kreuz-Zeitung" reminds the au-
thorities of the repeated promises to
leave definite settlements until the end
Of the war.

Mediterranean Losses Are
Omitted, Germany
Declares
Britain Denies Charge
Admiralty Says English Navy
Would Welcome Battle
With German Fleet

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 9.-The German
Admiralty has issued a statement in
reply to the speech made recently in
the House of Commons by Sir Eric
Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty.
In reference to the losses of British
ships, the statement asks why Sir Eric
omitted sinkings in the Mediterranean,
and contends that, allowing for this
omission and for the assumabie fact
that Sir Eric gave net tonnage while
Germany gives gross tonnage, The Brit
iSh and German figures nearly CORE
spond. In regard to the losses of sub
marines. the statement says:
"Sir Eric Geddes attempted with in
adequate means TO reduce the German
success by half and spondingly to
increase submarine losses. With oc-
casional fluctuations which are in
evitable in connection. with this new
method of warfare, the submarine war
goes unswervingly forward and be-
comes more effective every day. De-
spite all British official attempts at de-
NAL it assuredly will attain the goal
aimed at"
The statement refers at length to Sir
Eric's explanation of why the British
fleet did not enter the Baltic. 1t taunts
the British with remaining safely be-
hind mine and net defences, and says
it was fear of being beaten by the Ger
man high seas fleet when it emerged
from the Great Belt that induced the
British grand fleet not to go to Rus
sia's aid.

told they took no prisoners and showed
the utmost cruelty to any Germans

COUNTY EXPECTS

County authorities, who say they

State Highway Commission. declare
that they look for early work of paw

River county that were graded in 1915

the county.

county court ..realize that bits of this
old road are, comparatively speaking,
in rather bad condition for tourist
traffic. But we are doing our best to
make it passable. Under existing con-
ditions, with the state making ready
to begin as soon as possible in opening
the new routes, the State Highway
Commission, of course, cannot expend
any money in maintaining the old road.

MANILA PEOPLE
HEAR OF VALLEY

The people of Manila have heard of
the Hood River valley through a letter
written to the Philippines Free Press
by c. B. Compton, Of Dee Flat. Mr..
Compton was formerly with the Daily
Bulletin and Cablenews-American. The
letter will probably result in number
of Manila people coming to the Apple
Valley.
The article, illustrated with Hood
River views, opens with the following
note to the editor of the Free Press:

traditionally insistent call of the East
so fascinatingly described by Kipling
