Members Of Willamette chapter Red
Cross who took so much pains in meet
ing to elect a nominating committee
which was to name officers for the Red
Cross the coming year, have found their
work all for nothing. And so has the
committee that nominated officers. This
mix-up in affairs is due to the fact that
headquarters in Seattle had adopted
some new rules regarding the election
of officers, but had not notified Will
lamette chapter. Now that the new rulec
have been announced, all nominations
for officers for the coming year are
withdrawn. According to the new pro-
cedure a board of directors will be
chosen consisting Of 21. Then this board
win select an executive committee of
five and this last committee appoint
the officers for thee oming year.

NERVOUS OVER AMERICA.
German Papers Question Wisdom oil
Giving This Country Ground
for War.

Amsterdam, April S.-Nearly all the
German newspapers received here con-
tain long articles devoted to the ami
versary of the entry of the United
States into the war. Many journals
indulge in speculation regarding the
wisdom of dragging America into the
conflict against Germany, and some
come to the conclusions that it was
unwise to array the United Statcs
against the fathcrland.
The Taeglische Rundschau says
Germany lost her last chance to keep
the United States out when she "failed
to prevent President Wilson's re-elcc-
ton because of his anti-German Lean
mgs.'
"But," says the newspaper, "it is
well to remember that Mr.. Wilson will
soon come forward with another peace
proposition"
The Krcuzzeitung says:
"The U-boat was useful preteXs
for America to enter the war and VIC
supplied it. 1t enabled President Will
son effectually to conceal his true war
motives. We thoroughly misread
American sentiment"
The Berliner Tageblatt refuses to
believe American help can bring viz
tory to the entente. Continuing, it
says:
"America's economic assistance
now has passed its zenith. The seiz-
ures of German, Austro-Hungarian,
Dutch and Swedish shipping aggrc-
eating 100000 tons constituted the
cntcnt's last reserves, which, in three
months, probably will be disposed of
by our U-boats. Then the entente
will be faced with the final question
whether new construction can keep
pace with the losses by Uboats."
The Wciserzeitung says America
has fallen short of the ententc's OK
pectations and cannot fulfill them.

Replies to King George.

London, April S.-Replying to
greetings on the occasion Of the an
niversary of the entry of the United
States into the war, President Wilson
has telcgraphed the following mes
sage to King George:
Permit me to express my warm
qualification. Your generous message
has been received and | assure you It
is with the greatest satisfaction that
the people Of the United States find
themselves side by side in this final
war for free self-governmcnt with
such stcadfast and indomitable asso-
ciates.
"Permit me also to assure your Ma
jesty that we shall continue to do
everything possible to put the whole
force of the United States into this
great struggle"

TRADE WORRIES GERMANS.
Loss of Merchant Marine by War
Seen as Handicap in Future.


London, April s. = The Birming-
ham Daily Post says if statements
in Hamburg newspapers are reliable,
the prospects of German shlpowners
after the war arc very uncertain. 1t
is considered probable that for some
years they will have difficulty in
again obtaining a foothold in sew
eral important trades which they at
one time almost monopolized. This
is quite apart from any restrictions
adopted by the allied governments.
Albert BALM, director general of
the Hamburg-Ameriean Steamship
Line, who, it is believed, did his ut
most to prevent the war, knowing
the magnitude of the commercial in
tercsts at stake, takes very pessi-
mistic view of the future.
Commenting on the same subject,
the London correspondent of the
Liverpool Daily Post says that the
German mercantile marine, which
aggregated 3,O72,993 tons when the
war began, has been depleted to the
extent of nearly 100000 tons.
b According to ARTICLES in. Hamburgs
and Bremen newspa pers, there can be
no doubt that Germany views with
much apprehension the shipbuildins
progress made IN other countries.

BOMBARDING PARIS.
Report of Ten Killed by Bursting of
Big Gun Confirmed.

Paris, April S.-The bombarding Of
the Paris district by the long-range
German gun continued yesterday.
There were no casualties.
The report that one of these guns
exploded is confirmed from absolutely
reliable sources. This occurred March
25, lieutenant and nine men being
killed.
Amsterdam, April Sit was Prof.
Rausenbcrger, an artillerist, manager
of the Krupp works and builder of the
famous 42-centimeter gun, who
planned the giant long-rangc gun, ac-
cording to the correspondent at Frank
fort of the Nieuwc Rotterdamschc
Courant. The professor witnessed the
first bombardment of Paris with the
gun.
Washington, April S.-Prof. Fritz
Rausenbergcr, in an interview print
ed in the Berlincr Tageblatt in Feb
ruary, 1916, declared that artillery so
large and powerful that 1t would b."
possible to lombard England from the
continent would be the certain product
of the near future. The codircctor Of
the Krupp works declared the day of
fiat trajectory pieces was passed and
that mortars and vertical shooting ar
tillery would be in increasing demand.
This, he said, was because the nature
of modern warfare had almost done
away with the necessity Of shooting
horizontally, it be possible to reach
horizontal trench lines only by shots
from cannon shooting vertically.
Modern artillery, Notwithstanding
it's possibilities either in effectiveness
or in carrying power. The cannon Of
the future, he believed, would be able
to penetrate the strongest fortified
shelters and nullify "England's SHIN
mcring ocean armament, the old proud
wall which for centuries has protect
cd ii from the continent"
