HUNS QUARREL|NC
OVER P|E-CUTT|NG
WHILE WAR RACES

FRENCH FRONT.-In nearly
every newspaper printed in Ger
many at the present moment there
is presented some kind of a scheme
for the solution of the question of
Alsace-Lorraine. Wha. the Ger
mans cannot understand is the fact
virtually every real Abstain anC
Lorrain rejects in totally any
scheme for joining his native lard
either to the Ger nan empire or ary
of its component federal states
The latest method of disposing
of the two provinces discussed in
the German Imperial Parliament.
proposes their division between
Prussia and Bavaria, Lorraine to
be taken by the former and Alsace
by the latter. This proposition, not
only is rejected by the inhabitants
of the provinces themselves, but has
aroused protests from several of
the German states, and especially
from Wuerttemburg. Consequently
for the time being it has been al
lowed to drop in favor of two other
schemes, both unsatisfactory to
some of the German parties.
The first of them looks to the
formation of an independent state
of Alsace-Lorraine under the rule
of a duke, while the second formu-
lates the foundation of a republic
of Alsace-Lorraine attached to the
German empire. Both of them have
been widely discussed but without
bringing about any conclusion, and
should either of them be accented
by the Germans, it is believed the
people of the two provinces would
have nothing to do with it.
AS the correspondent of The
Associated Press has found in dis
cusslng the matter with the Alsa-
tlans and Lorrains of all classes, the
only desire of these people is to be
reunited to France, with which thew
nave remained, in spite of the Ger
man annexation, closely allied in
all their ideas and in all their son,s

of their conversations the words
uttered by President Wilson. .

llshed in the interest of ALL" 49,.

card he wrote and left, giving hi:
name as w. L. Carson and his home
Hood River. While some of the ladies
had taken sandwiches and coffee to
their train, these two young aviators
wanted to see where we had made
them"
The visit of young Carson reminded
Miss Robertson of a trip to Oregon
and she ended her letter with the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
lone glorious May morning in 1892
long train of people going to the
general Presbyterian convention at
Portland stopped for breakfast at
Hood River. We were met by most
gracious women who showered us with
lovely flowers and were so cordial and
hospitable that the breakfast hour
seemed very short. Though all these
years the memory of that wonderful
morning at Hood River has been an
Inspiration, and perhaps more than
any one thing has made me realize
how, to a weary traveller the meeting
of people-not promoters but friends,
cheers one on the way. Results, as
shown in the letters we receive from
soldier guests, prove the success of
our work, and so want to send greet
ings and all good wishes to the Hood
River Chapter.

clear under the bridge, whether the
sun glorifies the mountains SHOWS and
whether the May flowers are still of
as wondrous beauty. | have always
dreamed of going to Hood River to
stop some time.

McCULLACH RETURNS FROM TEXAS
Optimism Prevails at the Houston Fruit
Shippers Convention Experience
Ga Cold Train RecOunted

Except for Texas, which has been
hit for the past year by one of the
worst dry spells in history, representa-
tives from every part of the United
States at the recent annual convention
of the Western Fruit Jobbers' Associa-
tion at Houston, Tex, report fine busi-
ness conditions, . says C. W. McCul-
lagb, who returned Friday from the
convention.
Mr.. McCullagh says that the general
demand for firm, high class apple
stocks is good and that all concerns
expect to clean up their business with
dispatch, now that the freight embar-
goes have been lifted.
No one at the convention, howev-
err" says Mr.. McCullagh, "can give
any hope for exports of apples as long
as the war lasts. Even though the en-
barge is lifted, trans Atlantic freight
rates will be prohibitive. We were
told that the rate per barrel on apples
would now reach between $lo and SIG,
whereas formerly the trade considered
rs cents per barrel as exorbitant. The
normal rate was 80 cents"
Mr.. McCullagh, who shipped his
automobile to Los Angeles that he
might motor through to San Francisco
on the return trip and study the Cali
fornia evaporating plants, says that all
surplus stocks of apples in the Watson
vile district are now being dried. He
says that he is we'll pleased with the
sales of apples made by his concern in
the south the past season.
Mr.. McCullagh says that the cold
weather of southern Texas was almost
unbearable. The train on which he
and w. B. Dickerson, who is pending
the winter in Los Angeles and who ac-
companied the sales manager to the
convention, were returning from Hous-
ton was caught in nOrther near Ell
Paso.
'"The water in the Pullmans froze, +"
says, Mr.. McCullagh, "ahd the passen-
gers suffered severely. Beginning to
feel the chill after | had retired, |
arose and put on my underclothes.
Then | followed with my socks, and
finally my other clothes and overcoat.
Mr.. Dickerson fortunately found the
upper berth of his section unoccupied.
First he appropriated the blankets and
then the mattress. Despite his precau-
tion he caught severe cold.

between Second street and Hood river.
The high embankment on the south
side of the street has been used as a
dumping ground for several years.
The club proposes to have all unsightly
rubbish removed by the time the new
artistic concrete bridge, to be con-
structed this summer jointly by the
county and the State Highway Com
mission, is completed.
The civic committee was also in.
structed to make efforts to find loca-
tion for a suitable automobile camp
ground.
The club, acting on the report that
the association contemplated relin-
gushing its property, has adopted a
resolution urging the Hood River Base
ball Association to retain its park on
the Heights. In case the property is
lost and passes into the hands of pri-
vate owners, who use it for buildings,
Hood River will be without an athletic
field. To save the property the owners
may, if necessary, plant it to straw
berries for a few years, thus earning
funds to pay off Indebtedness.
The club has voiced protest to the
city council against permitting con-
tractors engaged in excavations for
new buildings, to litter the paved
streets of the business section with
mud.
The Monday evening meeting was
presided over for the first time by the
new president, 0. p. Dabney.

The last suspense of Hood River rel.

evening of last week, was made to

tiently awaited definite news. The
battalions of the Goth Engineers aboard
the vessel were recruited largely from
the Pacific coast states.
The Tuscania was manned by
British crew and was being conveyed
by British destroyers. 1t is thought
that the U-boat, which is reported to
have emerged and opened fire on life
boats, was attacked by British destroy
ers and sunk by depth bomb. The
comparatively small loss of life is con-
sidered miraculous. The sea was calm,
however, and the boat remained afioat
for about two hours. The soldiers, al
though they have been trained for only
short time, were calm. The British
destroyers rushed to the rescue of the
men aboard the stricken boat, the

conversant and informed with a gen.
eral knowledge of affairs at home and
abroad, and with his father as a close
companion and chum, he has filled
his life with interest as best he could.
III almost since b%aby-hood, it was
wonderful how bright and clear his
brain was to the end.
Funeral services were held from the
home on Tuesday afternoon, with
the Rev. Simpson, of Croswell, Off
ciating clergyman.
Beautiful music was rendered by a
quartette composed of Mrs. Coch-
rane, Mrs. Rub, Mes rs. Schum and

Interment wa made in Elmwood
cemetery and IT,, sr.ye was covered
with a profusion / lovely flowers.

ity is expressed for Mr.. and Mrs.
