ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
CAUSED DARKNESS
OBSERVERS AT BAKER, OREGON,
REPORT HAVING OBTAINED
GOOD RESULTS.

Baker Ore, June 8.-The predicted
eclipse of the sun found scientists
ready for ii here. Glasses were train
ed to study and photograph the suns
corona and spectrum. Definite con-
clusions drawn from these observa-
tions will be available only after
comparison of results obtained and
deductions as to their significance.
The observations were declared to
be successful, a slight cloudiness be-
ing the only drawback.
The expected results Of plunging
the world into darkness as Of night
were observed.
Birds sought their nests and chick
ems went to roost. A gloom as deep
as that at ten o'clock at night en-
veloped the fayorIte strip of coun-
try at the moment of total eclipse.
Electric lights were turned on in
doors and street cars and autOmo-
biles had their headlights burning.
Within a few minutes after the total
eclipse daylight rapidly returned.
Those devoting their time to the
study of the corona were amply re-
paid for the color of the glow of the
inner circle with it's moving multi
colored shafts of light 1t was of
maximum sun spot type with the
glowing and pulsating light nearly
equally diffused about the sun sur
face whose prominences also were
plainly visible
Those watching for effects on ma
ture were also reported for crescent

planned shadow bands were observed

tory was successful 1t is expected
that the photographs made will tend
to solve the problems as to solar at

AMERICAN ARMY CAUSES
GERMANY MUCH CONCERN
Continue the Policy of 6eIittlelne the
Value Of American Aid for the Ben
eft Of the German People and at
Same Time See More Trouble for
Germany.

Amsterdam, June S-News of the
German U-boat operations on the
American coast receives page head
lines in the latest German news
papers. The press takes the occasion
once more to launch it's trades
against the United States and its
president, and to endeavor to find
some offset for the assembIying of
American hosts in France.
Despite the abuse by the German
paperse of Premier Clemenceau fer
the inspiration to France, he finds
that the coming of the Americans,
their arrival is evidently viewed with
anything but equanimity in Germany.
The Cologne Gazette concludes a
violent diatribe against America
thus:
1T Is therefore only right and fair
that we, too, make use OF our war
means and show the friends of hu-
manity in their homeland what war
looks like and what it means. Our
U-boats first visited the American
coasts for legitimate peaceful com
merce. The North Americans may
how feel the fist of the war lord.
They need not be surprised. He
who sows the wind reaps the whirl-
wind even when he hits on the side
Of the great herring pond where he
is under the delusion that he is safe
from the storm"
The Cologne Volks Zeitung talks
about those who are prosecuting a
war against our wives and
children having revealed to them off
their own coasts the seriousness of
war, when the new strategy Of our
U-boat war which technically is be-
coming increasingly perfected, is also
directed against the other shore OF
the Atlantic ocean.
This in view of the character of
our American opponent evokes on all
sides the liveliest satisfaction amors
the German people"
Still following the policy OF belit-
tling the value of American aid for
the benefit of the German people the
correspondent OF the Tages Zeitung
devotes the whole of his latest dis
patch from headquarters TO a scorn-
full depreciation of the part played by
the Americans against the German
offensive
''We do not underestimate the
American or any other enemy, for we
know that we have to overcome
everyone at the cost of German blood
In order to attain peace and free
development of German strength. But
when we read what the Paris and
London press has hitherto achieved
In glorification of American military
help and when we see what has come
out of this in one of the entente's
most fateful hours, we are after a
great victory which has taken us
over all the American batteries, am
