WIND STORM DENIOLISHES
 NEW APARTMENT BUILDING

One of the worst rain and wind storms Of the season visited Cor dova last night and caused sleep CTS in many buildings considerable uneasiness. The storm set in early in the evening and continued thru out the night. About 2:30 o'clock this morning the wind attained its greatest velocity, and blew in the south side of the new apartment house on First street which is being erected by John Strigsve, re sultEng in the collapse of the entire building, and entailing a loss of about $3,OOO to the owner. This is the only serious damage re ported in the town, although a num- Der of chimneys were blown off of buildings.

SOLVING THE LABOR PROBLEM

Quietly, without fuss or feathers the administration at Washington t going about the solution Of the labor problems that have arisen in all parts 9! the country. The latest eyi- dence of the activity of the Presi- dent and his advisors is found in the summoning to Washington of the ship builders. An apparent deadlock between employers aLd their workuen had been reached. N thing short Of test Of strength seemed likely to bring relief. The federal shipping board with its ears to the ground, heard the rumbling and wrsnglings. Builders were ask ed to visit Washington for a con ference. The threatened strike Is In abeyance-and there A every pro s- pect that a peaceful and business like solution of the difficulty will be had. ..,
 There was more noise when the President took similar action few months ago in connection with the threatened railroad strike, but the troubles were adjusted and no strike occurred. Similarly in num- erOus other lines of industry. The need Of the nation at the present moment is Of more importance than the mere question of who shall dictate tns terms of peace-labOr peace. The President stands for getting together and a pulling to- gether-and he is seeing to it that these things are done.

BELGIANS MAKE DARING
 RESCUE UNDER HOT FIRE

Havre,-A tragic aero combat was fought on the afternoon Of September 9, above the Belgian trenches, along the railroad from Nieuport to Dixmunde. A British aeroplane which had been surround ed by five Germans fell east of RamscapelIe, in No Mans Land with 15O yards separating the lines.
 The Germans opened a hot gun fire rn hte British machine, but several men from q Belgian regt- meut, determined to lend aid, crawl ed out in the broad daylight to the aircraft. Both ayiators were found dead. The Belgians brought in one of the bodies and returned few hours later for the other.
 They saw the Germans robbing the dead man, but the Germans fled On the approach of the Belgians. The lapid-fire guns resumed their smelling of the spot where the ma chine lay, but the Belgians never the less succeeded in bringing to their trenches the body of the other Britisher.

SOLDIER INSURANCE

One of the uses to which it is proposed to devote part Of the proceeds of Liberty Loan Bonds is to afford to our soldiers and sail ors life and indemnity insurance and to provide for allowances TO their dependent families while they arc in the ranks. On this point Secretary McAdoo of the Treasury whose plan of insurance for our fighting men was endorsed by President Wilson and is now en- bodied in law pending before Con gress, says:
 Every soldier and sailor who serves his country ill this war VIII earn everything the proposed war insurance bill provides; to be a beneficiary of the proposed law will be badge of honor.
 When We draft a wage earner' we call not only him but the entire family to the flag; the sacrifice en- tailed is not diyisible. The wife and children, the mother, the Tath- CT, are all involved in the sacrifice = they diretly bear the burden or defense. They suffer just as much as the soldier, but in different way, and the nation must generous fly discharge as q proud privilege the duty of maintaining them until the soldiers and sailors return from the war and resume responSi- bility.
 "Ws have drawn the sword to yindicata Americas violated rights to resto:e peace and justice, and tc secure the progress of civilization. We cannot permit our soldiert, while they hold the front to be stabbed in the back by uncertainty as to what is being done i"r their loved ones at -ome. Our to- morrovs are ill their hands-thetTS in ours. The national conscience will not permit American soldiers and their dependents to go unpro- yided with everything that a just, generous and noble people can do to compensate them for the sui ferings and sacrifices they make to serve their country"

WHAT FORT OPERATES ITS
 OWN SHIPS

Judge Burke thinks that as community We should build or pur- Ehase and operate our own ships. What other port does that? Why should any port do it, so long as ships will never fail to go where it is profitable for them to go?
 This business Of putting the pub lie into a shipping enterprse in which private capital will not en- gage, because the conditions are such that 1t will not pay, is like one trying to lift ones self over the fence by tugging at his own footstraps
 The first steps for the develop ment ot this port are steps of pre- psredness. Go after trade, make 1t tributary to this port, make the port facilities what they should be for the reception and dispatch ing of ships and the loading and un- loading of cargo. Mix into the game of railroad politics, not for getting that the use of the river Is the best card in the hand. DO all that We can to encourage the industries that are here, and to bring others that are not here' Tackle every problem and seek to bring about every condition that will make 1t profitable for ships to come to this port, and they will come,
 To insure the shipping future or Portland and the Columbia river re- zion Is 8 great work. It requires

Pruning Shade

when il is young than later when large
limbs must be removed to shape up the

branch by cutting it back to confour

principle that a limb will ordinarily
grow from the bud nearest the cut. II

this limb will continue its lead over
the other branches.
Crossing or rubbing limbs should be

Hope of Peace is Slender.
BY Carl d. Groat.

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Washington, Mar. 14.-The sinking OF
the American ship Algonquin, unwarn
ed, by a submarine, confirmed today
the expressed administration belief that
Germany would carry her ruthlessness
into American shipping, but for the mo.
ment did not alter the general situa-
tion.
Armed ships will venture forth, and
for the time being, at least, will consti-
tute Americas defense against Ger
many's illegal sea methods.
The sinking convinced authorities
that they have nothing to hope for in
the way of modified procedure on Ger
many's part.
The Algonquin sailed from New
York unarmed when the American ship
Rochester started. Her arrival abroad
had never been reported.
The state department had no official
word of the torpedoing up to mid-fore-
noon.
While there was general agreement
that the Algonquin case does not mean
war at present, state department of
fieials regarded the case as extremely
serious, and as tending to show that
Germany is making her acts conform
with her threats.
The general views, however, were ttat
despite the overt character of the case,
this government, for the present is TAX
ing all the steps it can through its ship
armament policy.
Affidavits from members of the crew
of the Norwegian steamer Storstad, cab
led to the state department today, con
firmed previous reports that Germany
utterly disregarded the Belgian relief
flag when she sank the vessel without
warning.
German submarines are pursuing new
tactics-operating at night more than in
the day-aecording to government infor-

paintings along the street be made
from trees of less vigor of growth than
the sappy maple or poplar. A little
study of the excellent specimens in
the capitol grounds will suggest ideal
trees for this purpose The Sycamore or
Oriental Plane tree does well in the
eurbing. Catalpa, English Linden, Mag
nolia acumenata, the Red Towering
Horse Chestnut, Cork Elm or the Noun
tain Ash are well known ornamental
trees for narrow streets. There are so
many from which to select that it is
unnecessary to plant walnut, cherry or
maple common in Salem all Of which

have room to spread and mature
The unsightly growth of moss and
hchens on the trunks and limbs of
shade trees may be prevented by
spraying yearly with winter strength
lime sulphur. If the moss is thick one

move it.

Justice MCCammant Tells of
! Clarke's Taking the

In an interesting discourse at the

story of George Rodgers Clarke and
how through his efforts the country

Justice MacCammant told of how
Clarke conceived the idea of attacking
the British outp0sts at Vineennes and

governor of Virginia and Thomas JEFF

the outbreak of the Revolutionary war

lied in support of the American revo-
luton. 1t was after his several sue
cesses that Clarke had to overcome his
greatest difficulty as the frontier
men in his force wanted to return
home. Mr.. MacCammant related how
Clarke was obliged to sell several
slaves captured, in order to raise
money to pay his man and secure re-
enhstmcntS.
Having lost Vincennes through the
approach of a greatly superior force
from Detroit, Clarke, the following win
marched from Kaskaskia through
flooded country and although his
men hardly half that of the British
garrison at Vineennes, succeeded in
capturing it and sending the British
commander and British soldiers to Vir.

That the vast country between the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers and the
great lakes finally become part of the
United States. was due Mr.. MaeCam-
mant thought, entirely to the efforts
of George Rodgers Clarke, as the Brit
ish made no further effort to conquer
the country after Clarke had for the
second time taken Vincennes.
