Blake's Case Puzzles
Military and Secret Service

Portland, Or, June 25.--British and
American army officers, the secret
service ard police puzzled their brains
over the strange case Of T. L. Blake
today.
Blake, who said he was an Anzac
scout and exhibited AZ wounds said to
have been received in fighting for the
.allies on several fronts, has been dup.
ing the public in many American
cities, said army men.
The man has lost an arm and shoul-
der and claims to have been mutilated
by the Germans while prisoner. In
scores of American cities he has
worked for the Red Cross and from all
reports has raised LARGE SIMS of money,
jail of which he refused to touch. He
has been paying his own expenses.
Blake was said to have confessed
today that he left England after he
had swindled the Prudential Life In
surance company while acting as its
agent there. One report said he is
wanted in Vancouver on serious
charge. Blake also admitted he never
took part in the Dardanelles campaign
but stuck to his story of French front
fighting.
The paradoxical Blake was taken
here Saturday after he had retold with
many intimate details the gruesoms
war stories that gained him great sym
pathy, yards of publicity and caused
Red Cross dollars to roll in in many
|cities.

IRRIGATION FOR 1918

For the purpose of trying to make
the irrigation service more satisfac.
tory the city will be divided into two
districts so that each district will get
the full service of the plant upon the
day it irrigates.
The plan is to have the houses which
bear even numbers on the streets irri.
gate only on Monday, Wednesday, Fri.
day and Sunday, and the houses which
bear odd numbers on the streets irri.
gate only on Tuesday, Thursday, Sst-
urday and Sunday. This plan win per.
NIT every house to irrigate four days
out Of each week.
The purpose Of the Water company
in furnishing water for irrigation 10
not to furnish all the water person
can run through the hose in the six
irrigation hours every day, but to furn
ish enough water to keep the lawn in
condition. To use more than enough is
waste. We will pump the usual
amount of water and hope to furnish
it more satisfaetorily"-Salem Water,

accept the measure" said Chamber.
lain. II win give it my support
SChatDr PomeFene demanded why,
in view of the fact that 10,000,0OO
men had registered, it was necessary
; to lower the age limit.
"In my Judgment, it s far better to
change the limits than to 60 into de-
lferred classes and upset industry and
agriculture. America must serve notice
on the world that every man be he is
or As, will be sent if its necessary TO
win this war"
Senator Wadsworth, after advocat-
ling both raising and lowering the
draft ages, declared that the United
states should summon an army big
enough to establish the iron ring
around Germany and Austria and their
allies. He urged that Bulgaria and
| Turkey be included at once among the
enemies Of the United States and as
soon as possible an army be sent into
Italy. He also urged an expedition into
Siberia, declaring he believed the Rus
sian people would welcome the coming
of a disinterested army.
Senator Hitchcock, Nebraska, late to.
day introduced an amendment to the
army bill as substitute for the Fall
amendment. The amendment fixes the
draft at 20 to 40 inclusive, and also
provides that nationals of. allied and
neutral nations who have announced
their intention Of becoming citizens
shall be subject to the draft.
The amendment is regarded as com
promise between the old age limit and
the Fall figures of IS to As.

America Answers the Huns Gas Arguments

rev combinations, l am not permitted
to write.
Take, for instance. mustard gas
which was first used by the Germans
in an attack on Armentieres in Au-
gust of last year. 1t was sent forth
LIQUID that spread over the ground.
where for hours traces of it remained
after the shells had exploded. The
LIQUID evaporated slowly. producing a
heavy gas which filtered downward
and made its way into the cellars
where the people had taken refuge. 1t
had fewer victims among the men
than among the women, because it
penetrated their long hair and re-
mained there. This gas was investi-
gated by the French, and found to be
a mixture of sulphur and chloride.
When the liquid mustard-gas comes
into contact with the skip it causes
terrible burns and when it is breath
ed in 1t seems to set the lungs on fire
and infiame the eyes. 1t has but lit
tie odor, and often its effect is not felt
until several hours after 1t Is inhaled.
This Is due to the fact that the poison
GUS elements arc evolved only when
mixed with moisture. The man gaSsed
may not feel 1t until several hours
after the attack, but at that time he
gets the stomach ache and has flt of
severe vomiting. This Is followed by
inflammation Of the eyes. They be-
come sensitive to the light he invol-
UNFAIRLY weeps and his eyelids swell.
His throat grows sore and he has
bronchitis and laryngitis. His chest
feels tight and he has fits Of cough
ing. When the liquid gas touches the
skin it burns. blisters and scales off.
II the attack is severe the man may
die within few hours after the ap-
pearance Of the symptoms. If 1t is
light he gets well quickly, the propor-
tion Of deaths Of the men afflicted being
only about l per cent. Our soldiers are
warned against this and all other gases,
and are trained to put on their masks at
the first sound Of the alarm. They must
do the same also for their horses or
mules. special masks being on hand for
this purpose.
