President Wilson is said to be

the naval appropriation bill and thus
legalize the Communicating OF the

Indications late today pointed
strongly to a drastic step by the pres
ident as a direct result OF Germany's
latest Haunting Of her submarine
warfare.
1t was believed the step would be
taken before many hours.
Many officials thought that 1t
would place the nation within step
Of actual war.
While the White House. the state
department and the nations war and
navy heads refused to comment "un-

aent's mind is made up.
The National Defense council met
with heads Of all the telegraph and
telephone companies OF the country
to plan mobilization OF communica-
ton systems so as to insure the gov
ernment the most rapid and efficient
service in case OF war.
Theodore N. Vail, OF the American
Telephone & Telegraph company,
headed this delegation.

president is assured OF the country's
support, according to his advisers to-
day.
To back up this claim, scores OF
kilograms have come to the White
House, urging immediate action OF
the most vigorous sort. A majority
of them favor an out-and-out declara-

j DISCUSS COUNTY FAIR


The question of the holding OF {
county fair this year, and the polio,
Of the providing Of permanen
grounds for the county fair, were dis
cussed at the luncheon Of the Cham
ber Of Commerce today. The fact
that the county court had made ne
provision for county fund for this
year was the chief reason for the &C.
ton Of the body in holding that II
was advisable to forego the fair this
year, and 1t will so recommend tC
the county agricultural advisory
board. which had asked for the re.
commentator Of the Chamber. There
was . diversity Of opinion upon the
matter OF obtaining permanent site
for fair. but It was finally voted to
recommend that such q site be pro-
vided. A. s. Coutant. Of the county
fair board. quoted figures from the
records showing that it cost the peo-
pie Of the community last year ap-
proximately $1,000 more because it
had NO permanent place for fair
than II would cost II permanent
grounds were owned. This added ex-
pense was in the rental Of grounds,
the use Of lumber and the putting up
and taking down Of the buildings.
The discussion brought out good
natured battle of words between
Councilman Demaray and DR.. ]. F
Reddy. Mr.. Demaray spoke of the
effort that was being put forwarl
to provide an auditorium for public
use, and intimated that in financing
the proposition It would no doubt fall
to the lot of the good sports" Of
the community to foot the bill. DR..
Reddy advised the building Of an au-
ditorium for public use from publ A,
funds, advocating a bond issue II
necessary that the railroads and other
corporations and nonresident prop-
erty owners should bear part OF the
burden. When Mr. Demaray remark
ed upon the bond issue for the start
ing of the G.. & o. G. railroad. the
doctor stepped right into the front
row, and waxed eloquent as he
pointed out the things that Grants
Pass had purchased with that bond
issue. He said that already a mil
lion dollars OF money had been ex-
pended here in industrial channels
because Grants Pass undertook to
help herself, and he significantly re-
marked that 1T is more than prob
ability that more than two millions
of dollars will be spent because OF
It this present season." There was
no difference upon this, and Council
man Demaray, who had been an ac'
tive worker in the bringing OF the
railroad, acquiesced in all the doc
tor said upon this score.
