Large Acreage Of
Grant Land IJnS0ld

S. W. Williams, special assistant
to the attorney general at Washing
ton, has returned from Washington,
where he appeared before the COM
mittee on public lands in reference
to the Coos Bay wagon road bill,
says the Oregon Journal He will
meet in conference with the various
state and county officials whose Of
ficial position brings them in touch
with the case as soon as such con-
ferences may be secured, in an effort
to make such presentation of facts
and data to the land committee as
will gain its support for the bill now
pending before it.
Mr.. Williams was called to Wash
ington several weeks ago to appear
before the committee on public lands
and outline the position of the De-
partment of Justice in reference to
the Sinnott bill. 1t was at that hear
ing that the opposition to the terms
of the bill arose from different mem
bers of the committee who objected
to the disbursement of 80 per cent of
the net proceeds to the irreducible
school fund and port, road and dis
trict funds of Coos and Douglas
counties.
Mr.. Williams statement to the
committee showed that the original
Coos Bay grant comprised 10000
acres of land, in tract approximate
ly 65 miles long by six wide, extend
ing from Marshfield to Roseburg. Of

apportioned to the reclamation fund,
25 per cent to the irreducible school
fund of Oregon, and 25 per cent to
the two counties of Coos and Douglas
for their road, port and district
funds.
The public lands committee is hesi-
tating concerning the payment of
more than the accrued taxes and pen
alties to the two counties and is
showing a disposition to retain all of
the net proceeds. Mr.. Williams will
cooperate with Attorney General
Brown and the officials of the two
counties and is preparing a showing
in support of the present terms of
the bill by which the school fund and
county funds are to receive so per
cent of the net proceeds or 100000
in round numbers.

ATHLETIC WORK IN
EXPERIENCED HANDS

Athletic work in army camps and
cantonments is in the hands of 80
trained organizers and coaches. They
are civilian aids on the staffs of COM
manding officers, and their salaries
are paid by the government.
Particular attention has been CIV
en- to boxing, as it assists men in
bayonet fighting. A committee of
best-known boxers worked out plans,
and moving pictures to teach boxing
have been made. Baseballs, bats,
basket balls and soccer balls, boxing
gloves and other equipment are sup

government appropriation.

TUSCANIA'S LOSS
PROTECTED BY U. S.

Every American soldier or sailor
lost on the torpedoed transport Tus-
cania was protected by the United
States government insurance and
government compensation. This has
been officially announced by Secre-
tary McAdoo.
Those who had not applied for in
surance were covered by the auto
matte insurance under the law which
is payable to a wife, child or widowed
mother. This automatic insurance
aggregates $4,000, netting $50 a
month for 240 months.
OF those vino had applied for and
obtained insurance many had taken
out the maximum amount of $40, 900,
netting $3.50 month for 24O
months.
There have been various causes for
delay in forwarding checks to the de-
pendents of soldiers and sailors.
The distance of many of the appli-
cants from Washington and the mail
congestion prevailing more or less all
over the country have caused delay
both in the receipt of the applications
by the treasury and the receipt of the
checks by the beneflciaries.
Another cause is that of the checks
sent out-10, 0,000-could not be deliv-
cred because the dependents to
whom the checks were payable had
moved, leaving no forwarding ad-
dresses, or the addresses originally
given were incomplete or erroneous
or so illegibly written that they
could not be properly deciphered.
Nearly half million checks were
mailed out in January and all posi-
BILE expedition is being made to get
all the addresses and other details
correct so that the dependents of the
soldiers and sailors will receive their
allowances promptly and certainly.

WFaAT A GERMAN RULE MEANS
TO A CONQUERED LAND.

AS an example of the deliberate
crushing of Belgian competition, the
case of the most flourishing indus
tries of Belgium before the war, and
German glass manufacturers could
not compete with it in the export
trade. In the words of the head of
the German organization of glass
manufacturers, at became vital to
the German manufacturers of glass
wares that the Belgian manufactur-
ers should be stopped from going to
neutral markets" Accordingly the
German administration in Belgium
was appealed to, and it promulgated
"an order stopping importation, tran
sit, and expectation" of these goods.
Seizure of Belgian trade secrets was
another feature of this typically Ger
man plan.
The extent to which Belgium has
been denuded of its wealth, war ma
terials, machinery, means of trans
port and man power under this ini-
ouitous plan is almost unbelievable.
"All crude materials indispensable
for Belgian industries" reported
Brand Whitlock, our Minister to Bel
gium, as early as August 2, 1915,
''were requisitioned and sent to Ger
many-leather, hides, copper, wool,
flax, etc. Further more, if not the
entire stock, at least the greatest
number possible of machinery parts
were shipped to Germany, to be used,
according to German statements, in
making munitions which Belgian fac
tories had refused to produce" j" Bel
gian draft horses, the best in the
world, were seized and sent to Ger
many to be sold to German farmers.
A long list compiled from the German
official ordinances is given of the ar
ticles ordered seized in Belgium. 1t
comprises some 800 separate items,
listed under such headings as min
erals and metals, chemicals, machin-
cry, food clothing, textiles, house
hold articles, old material, oils and
explosives, metal products for IN
dustrial establishments, medical sup
plies, etc. The articles range from
tungsten steel to ground Stag, from
electric condensers and conductors
to printers slugs and matrices, from
all grains for breadmaking to oat
straw, from bath tubs to stair-carpet
roads and doorknobs, from old rags
to the skins, horns, feet, bones and
carcasses of horses, calves, goats, rab
bits, and dogs. Nothing apparently |
is overlooked or forgotten in this
ruthless robbery of the quivering |
victim. II is German efficiency join
ed to German inscrupulousness and |
disregard of all rights on the part of |
those not able to defend themselves.

SUDDEN DEATH

Before an Insurance company will take
a risk on your life the examining physician
will test your water and report whether
you are good risk. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog, you suffer from
backache, sick-headache, dizzy spells, or
twinges and pains of lumbago, rheuma-
tism and gout, or sleep is disturbed two
or three times a night.
You can readily overcome such con-
ditions, prolong life and drive the uric
acid out of the system by taking Anuric
in tablet form. 1t was the discovery of
DR.. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo,

DEAN REPLIES TO w. J. RiARRIS'
WARNING AND INSTRUCTION
Continued from First Page

in his 1914 campaign for United
States senate, declared in nearly ey-
cry speech he made in Georgia that
he was opposed to and would vote
against this very shipping bill on the
ground that he was opposed to feder-
al ownership of transportation facili~
ties, either by rail or water, and
therefore you knew when you were
advocating his election in Macon that
he was publicly pledged to oppose
this bill.
Another thing you charge Hard
wick with is that he voted against and
openly fought the national prohibi-
ton bill, and yet you knew in 1914
that he had always been an anti-pro-
hibitionist and you also knew that
Clayt Robson, head Of the liquor
trust, was one of his campaign mana
gers, and you three, almost constant
ly in consultation during the three
days of the Macon convention, work
ing hand in hand to secure the nomin-
alton of Hardwick as the loyal adj
ministration candidate.
Now, you come forward proclaim
ing yourself as the only loyal candi-
date and the only one entitled to the
suffrage of the people of Georgia.
When, ask you, can the people Of
Georgia trust you? Can you claim
yourself to be any more loyal than
you claimed Hardwick to be in 1914?
When you say that President Will
son was deceived in believing Hard
wick loyal, say yes, AID that you
should have told him better.
When you say the people Of Geor-
gia made a mistake in electing Hard
wick, the reply is that you are largely
responsible for this mistake.
What about your advice to the
people of Georgia last summer by
public interviews and private letters
scattered over the entire state ad-
vising your home people not to buy
coal when the price was only So per
ton, resulting, as you well know, in
causing the people of Georgia many
of dollars in the greatly in
creased price, besides a fearful a
mount of suffering and sickness, by
acting upon your advice?
Had you thought that if you live a
thousand years and make hundred
dollars each day, that you could not
repay the people of Georgia the loss
caused them by that advice, And
did not the coal trust reap the profit
IF these untold millions? And is the
coal trust and more entitled to profit
OK your assistance than the shipping
trust was to profit by the assistance
If Senator Hardwick.
Another thing our people are an
xious to know, and that is, why as
chairman of the federal trade COM

per year, without any expense, should

$4,000 job for the purpose of en-
,ering an expensive race to the Unit
I'd States senate against your former
side partner, Hardwick, which, if you
succeed, will only pay you $500
Der year?
Now do not understand for one
moment that l am in any way de-
tending Hardwick in any of his posi-
ions. | consider him thoroughly un-
worthy to represent Georgia in the
