RUMoRs CONFUSE GERMANS
Boche Becomes Panic-stricken by
Changing Orders.

london, Oct. 14.-Rumors of arlnis-
tice have created an atmosphere of
bewilderment among the German
troops on the western front. One cor
respondent, with the British forces
in the Cambria sector says the enemy
units seemed to be in state of panic
as a result of a multiplicity of con-
ficting orders.
As an Illustration he tells how Ger
man prisoners blew up the Scha'dt
bridges northeast of Cambria and had
barely finished their work when the
order was given to rebuild all the
BRIDGES. Before they were completed 4
fresh set of pioneers came along and
DESTROYED them.
The same correspondent tells of
transport columns being lost for days
supplies were thus sent adrift ana
supplies were thus sent a drift and

empty stomachs.
! Officers and men among the .p7g,is-
oners have the same appearance Of
absolute generalization.

LARGEST SNOW IN
 MANY YEARS

The largest snow of many years fell yesterday afternoon and last night, and today it measures from 6 to 10 inches deep. Aside from be- ing bad underfoot, it made little difference with the citizens of Mall vern, and business was conducted in the usual manner. The delivery boys had a happy time this morn ing, and school children were en- toying snow balling on their way to and from school. The weather was not too cold to be pleasant, and the gas pressure was very satisfac- tory in all parts of the city. The schools had small attendance. The city mail carriers made the us- ual rounds, but several of the rural carriers were forcedto abandon their trips on account of the high banks of snow on the roads.
 All trains on the Missouri Pacific were snow bound this morning, and running very late. No. 5. passenger run at 1:35: No. 5 mail, at 2:05, and at the hour of going to press No. 4 was marked up for 4 p. m. as was also No. z.

WARD ONE DID WELL
 FOR THE RED CROSS

Ward No. 1, City of Malvern, made a very good showing in Xmas menu bership campaign, although there are a great many names which should be added from this ward, as we consider there is no valid excuse for person living in this ward who has the one dollar and does not become member of this life saving organization. The list will be published tomorrow. Look it over carefully and you can see just who they are.
 However, the report would look bet ter if the names of persons living in this ward, who work at the several mills, were added Their names, ol most of them, will appear in the list secured by Mr. Beatty, Captain of tht industrial plants near Malvern.
 The report, as a whole, is very good and tne credit should go Albert Jerni can, Colburn Miller, John Lindahl H. N Canaday, Misses Peggy Yount and Flora May Bridewell and Mrs. H Berger, and possibly one or two mor' whose names we have not received.
 The report of members received a Miller's drug store was greatly appre ciated-92 in number This shows tn spirit of these 92 who hunted plac to take membership.
 The boys at the front will appre ciate this goodly showing of patriot ism from the citizens of Ward No.1
 Fhe total number of members iron Ward No. 1 was 166, and SIT receiv ed.
 The names will be published tomor row.

HOSPITALS FULLY
EQUIPPED IN FRANCE

A base hospital, several of which
are already in operation overseas,
consists of the people and material
necessary to establish and operate
hospital without asking outside as
sistance except the provision of shell
ter. This usually means deserted
hotel, an empty village, group OF
huts or a number of large and small
tents.
The personnel of one hospital
which is fully organized and waiting
to be sent to France includes "a ply
sicians and surgeons, nearly all OF
whom are now on active duty at can
tonments or hospitals in preparation
for their future work. The nurses
number 65, all having passed rigid
examinations. There are six women
stenographers and bookkeepers. OF
the 1913 enlisted men, 65 are orderlies
or male nurses, and the remaining SS
are clerks, bookkeepers, mechanics
and skilled laborers. The base hos
pital is a little world in itself and
must have cooks, butchers, bakers,
carpenters, engineers, etc.
The equipment for this one unit
cost $4,000.

Exemptions Claimed
In the Revolution

Echoes of the American struggle
for liberty in 1875 have been found
by War Department officials in their
search of the records of Hartford
county, Maryland, in connection with
perfecting title to the new army
proving ground.
A detached document in the clerk S
files dated 1776 sets forth the names
of fifteen citizens of the region who
refused to sign a declaration of inde-
pendence, said to have been among
the first moves in that direction by
the American colonists The reasons
given in refusing to sign present a
vivid picture of the perturbed state
of mind of the colonists. The docu-
ment reads:

Camp Lewis Man
Is Held as Spy

Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Jan. g.
Held as a cog in the German espion-
age machine, Thomas Helmuth Rit-
ter, who until November IL, the date
of his arrest, was regimental SER
geant-major in charge of the dis
tribution of mail and papers in the
division adjutant's office, Camp
Lewis, today awaits the message
from Washington, D. c., that will
tell his fate.
Death before a firing squad as an
enemy spy, Imprisonment or intern
ment for the period of the war at
least as an alien enemy, are possibili-
ties, following conviction in such
cases
Soon after Ritter came to Camp
Lewis, it is said by the military au-
thorities, papers began mysteriously
to disappear, and information of a
confidential nature began to leak
out. AS a result, difficulties of a
grave nature were encountered by
army officials. The officers made an
exhaustive investigation OF several
cases, and the trail in each case ran
back and stopped at the door of the
office in which Ritter was employed,
finally, the military officers say, to
such a narrow point that they are
convinced beyond any possible doubt
that Ritter was the person response
BILE.
In one case but three persons knew
of the information, and these three
have been absolved from completely
in any leak or plot. Ritter, however,
was known to have been at the desk
of one of these three men. No others
were involved. Officers of long serv-
ice were tested and found faithful,
but on November 12, 1917, so certain
were the military authorities that
Ritter was arrested.

HIGH WATER HINDERS
MOVING LIVE STOCK

Market operations at the North
Portland yards have carried COM
paratively small volume of business
for the weeks opening markets, but
general quality of the offerings is
improved over the previous week in
most departments. The Monday cat
tie shipment was medium with sew
eral loads Of high-class steers. The
hog shipment was rather heavy with
two or three loads of extra we'll fin
ished hogs, and the receipts in the
sheep houses were very light and
mostly ordinary offerings. High
water conditions are offering a seri-
GUS handicap to live stock movements
and adding considerable to the grief
of the railroad operators and to the
congestion of freight movements in
general.
