for increasing destroyer forces and in
creases the enlisted strength of the
navy from 10000 to 22S, 5000, the ma
rnes from thirty to fifty thousand.
The marine increase means the train
ed men now scattered in various places
will be collected and sent to France

HUNS ACTS IN EAST
AROUSE WAR SPIRIT
Plunderquest Doing More
Than Anything Else to
Spur U. S. and Allies.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Offi-
cials believe Germany's plunder quest
in the near east is doing more to spur
America and the allies to arousing a
war spirit than anything Germany
has yet undertaken. The capture of
Odessa-the center of a rich grain
country-instead of causing gloom
here, has stirred the war spirit, as did
the downfall of game. little Rumania.
Long extracts from Teuton newspa-
pers just arriving show the Germans
doubt the wisdom of militaristic tao
tics toward Rumania and Russia.
These say Germany's talk of peace by
negotiation compared to her Russian
and Rumanian peace by conquest
terms as 'the terror of terrors' and
all Germans as accomplices in the
great deception The fruit Of Russian
peace is menace of the new future
of te war, according to the Liepzieg-
er Volks Zeitung.

PAYS 5000 FINE FOR
KILLING AN ELK A
YEAR AND HALF AGO
Herman Rosenberg of Pilot
Rock Pleads Guilty; 9th
ers May be Arrested.

Warrants werc issued out of the
justice court at Pilot Rock today for
the arrest of Mayor Levi Eldridge and
George Done, eN-nlayor of that town.
who are charged with being implicated
with Rosenberg in the shooting of the
elk.
A year and half after the COM
mission of the offense, Herman Ros-
enberg. well known Pilot Rock farm
er, yesterday afternoon pleaded guilty
to killing an elk and paid fine of
5000 and costs amounting to $25.5O
1t Is not improbable that two other
we'll known Pilot Rock residents will
be arrested in connection with the
same offense,
Deputy Game Warden Tonkin was
responsible for the bringing of the
delayed case into court. He had
heard some rumors of the killing of
an elk months ago but had not been
able to secure any evidence. How
ever when he discovered the head
and antIers of an elk at the farm of
Henry Rosenberg he started inquiries
which resulted in him driving to the
Herman Rosenberg place. 1T Is said
he arrived there only short time
before others who had come to warn
Rosenberg. The latter. however had
confessed to the unlawful shooting
and came to Pendleton to plead guilty
before Justice of the Peace Parkes.
He had gone on a hunting trip
Oct. 81. 1918, he stated, and, while
the other two members We're fixing
the car, he had taken his rifle and
gone into the woods for a deer. The
elk sprang up and, though he at first
thought it was large buck. he ad-
mitted he knew 1t was an elk when
he shot. He had secured the services
of the others in carrying the carcass
to the car, he said.

FIRES PRO GERMAN
FROM POSITION IN
STATE ROAD CREW

Because he expressed pro-German
inclinations and was likewise affili-
ated with the Bible students, a tran
sitmaTR named Zimmerman. working
with the state highway party at Spray,
was pnceremoniously fired today by
NJ. ~ Bennett, assistant state engi-
neer in charge of the work in eastern
Oregon.
1t appears that the disloyal talk
Of Zimmerman SO incensed one of the
other members of the crew, named
Short, that he fought with him.
Without fully learning the cause of
the trouble the foreman then dis
charged Short. Mr. Benefits order
reverses that ruling and Gusts the
pro-German from the state employ
Young Short has since enlisted in the
army but by action of the assistant
engineer his record is cleared and he
is given a mark of merit for having
resented an apparent act of disloyalty

REQ CROSS CHAIRMAN
DENIES TWO RUMORS
Officials do Not Receive
Salaries and Sweaters are
Still Desired.
To the Public:

To the PuDllc:
My attention has been called to
certain rumors which have gained
circulation throughout the county af-
fecting the work of the Red Cross.
One of the rumors is to the effect that
certain officials of the chapter are re-
oeiving salaries for their services
This rumor is entirely false. The
only salary being paid anyone in the
employ of the chapter is to the jam
itor who cares for the work rooms.
His salary is S5 per month.
Mr., Ritner, the secretary, has been
donating all his time to the work of
the chapter since his his election.
Another rumor which has gained
some headyay is to the effect that no
more sweaters are necessary This ru-
NOR is likewise without foundation,
as up to this time no instructions
have come from headquarters to cease
making sweaters.

BAKER ON STAND
BEFORE CRITICS
Secretary Calm Under Cross Fire of
Questions BY Opponents of His
Conduct of War.

Washington, Jan. H.. - Secretary
Bakers examination today before the
senate military committee was warm
ed up by rapid cross-fire Of ques-
lions by senators of both parties who
did not agree with the generally fa-
vorable view of war preparations de-
picted by Mr.. Bakers statement of
yesterday.
The senators declared his declara-
ton that war supplies were adequate
would mislead the country. Senator
Weeks declared the country should
not be lulled to sleep by a general
statement of facts that don't exist"
Mr.. Baker explained that he meant
to convey only the impression that all
the men ready for the fighting line
were adequately equipped.
Senators Wadsworth and Weeks, Re-
publicans, and Senators Chamberlain
and Hitchcock, Democrats, took the
lead in cross examining the secretary
and at times handled him without
gloves.
