Where u. S. and British Colonies Agree

No steps have been taken by the
British dominions 10 present the pro-
posal 10 the State department This
is partly due 10 the brief tenure OF
the present administration. The only
exchanges have been with Republican
senators known To be in close sym
pathy with the Harding administra-
ton.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. chair
man OF the senate foreign relations
committee and Republican leader of
the senate. in a speech several weeks
ago in Philadelphia. made one brief
reference to the japanese problem.
The paragraph suggested a union of
the British dOminionS with the United
States in dealing with japanese lmmi-
grafton and land ownership. n copy Of
which Mr.. Ledge laid found its way
into the British embassy here in an as
toniShingly short time. Because of the
AnSlo-Japanese alliance there was
nothing official which the embassy
could do.
But a high official Of the govern
ment of Australia did not feel So ham
pereG. Moreover. he knew well that
the feeling in New Zealand and Cana
da was precisely similar TO that in Aus
tralia and the United States. So he
wrote TO Mr.. Lodge commencing the
suggestion of a league of English
speaking nations whose boundaries
touch the Pacific.
Mr.. Lodge has since consulted many
of his colleagues and approval of his
idea has been very general.

Death Penalty for Bank Robbers.

Members of the legislative commit
tee Of the Indiana Bankers assOcia-
ton unanimously voted to seek the
passage of a bill by the legislature,
providing for the death penalty or life
Imprisonment for persons convicted of
robbing banks through the use of ex-
plOsives. The bankers of Indiana are
thoroughly aroused as result of the
widespread crime wave and we feel
that an unusually drastic law would
do much TO deter many criminals. "

Bankers association, said. 1--WE feel

Two More Representatives

Two counties, Marion and Lake,
are entitled to one additional repre-
sentative. Although several counties
showed increases in male inhabitants
of voting age. the increases were not
sufficient to entitle them To an addi-
tiOnal representative. In these cases.
IL is possible TO join two or more coun-
ties In legislative districts and thus
give greater representation. This loss
probably will not cause any decrease
In the county's representation.

Woman Member on Seven Committees

Mrs. Julia ID. Nelson, the first wOm-
an to sit in the assembly, was appoint
ed by Speaker Mcclure TO serve as n
member of seven committees. Mrs.
Nelson was not made chairman of any
committee and this action is under
stood to meet with her wishes. She
has maintained a policy of conserva-
tism since entering on her duties as a
state legislator and does not wish TO be
thrust forward. Among them is the
committee on benevolent and scientific
institutions, which will consider meas

Ast0rians
Defeated By
Senators l2-4

Through weakness in their
pitching staff the Astoria CONT
nentals were defeated yesterday
by the Salem Senators. While the
first frame of the game ended
with three to nothing in favor of
the visitors, the final score was
~ to 4.
While the visitors obtained
more hits off "Biddy" Bishop,
who occupied the box for Salem,
the moundsmen for Astoria al
lowed eight men to take bases on
balls and at particular moments
when there were three men on
bases. Two neat home runs were
obtained by Houston and Cook OF
Astoria, but neither ruffled the
exterior OF the Salemites.
Salem started scoring in the
second inning, when Hayes stole
home on Astoria's attempt to
catch Irwin stealing second. In
the Hurry that followed, Irwin
did a neat step to third and hit
the home trail on a single of
Bishops.
In the sixth inning when five
scores were run in by Salem,
Reinhart scored on a dead ball
hit by Hayes striking the leg of
the umpire, Hayes taking first.
Edwards walked, Irwin doubled
and Nelson. who had hit after
Reinhart, with Hayes, scored.
Miller fouled ont. Holmes singled
to right field, Edwards and Irwin
scoring.
The remaining scores were
made In the following inning
with little difficulty for, with
the change in batteries. the Sa-
lemites had no trouble in getting
on the ball and riding to glory.

Submarines

Thirty More Undersea
Craft Will Be Added
To Present Fleet Now
In Operation
By T. N. Standifer

Washington, Aug. /. - Amer
ica's submarine fleet is to be as
powerful and efficient as that of
any nation in the world.
Eighty first-class sea pam
thers" are now in operation, and
the navy department is planning
the addition Of thirty S-boats, the
latest and most improved type Of
under-the-surface fighter.
When these new craft are re-
ceived and prepared for active
work, we will have a good subma-
rine fleet" Secretary of the Navy
DENLY said today.
Persistent 'rumors have pre-
vailed recently in congress and in
naval circles that the subsea fleet
of the American navy was ION the
bum," but Secretary Denby's g.
NAL of these stories and his ex.
pressed desire to make the navy s
U-boat flotilla formidable arm
OF the nations first-line of defense
has quieted some of the most ag-
gressive Of those who have at
tackled the departments policy
and building program.
Plans for greater development
OF submarines were among the
features of the recent discussion il
congress of the navy appropriation
bill for the next fiscal year, and
much of the criticism leveled al
the navy departments subsea pol
icy and the alleged poor condisk
OF the subhersible n ct wa
brought to a head in a resolutio
introduced in the senate by Sena
tor King, of Utah, directing an IN.
vestigation of American subma-
rines by the senate naval affairs
committee. No action has been
taken on the resolution since its
introduction, and it is regarded
as unlikely that the proposed in
vestigation will be conducted.
One of the latest rumOrs con
cerning the condition OF the sub
marine fleet had it that number
of U-boats weretied up at the Pan
anna canal and that they were of
no use except as junk.
Secretary DENLY declared that
certain divisions operating in trop.
ical waters have encountered diff
ficulties due to the climatic action
on engines and gear and that ex-
periments are now being conduct
ed To eradicate these troubles.
A flotilla of the latest type of
submarines made their way recent
ly to the Pacific and are now op-
Grating in those waters.
High officials Of the navy de-
partment' dismiss most of these
rumors as propaganda and go
right along with their work of de-
veloping the undersea flotilla.

hunting is becoming gradually
less difficult. Hunters for fine
whiskey, wines and other liquors
also are becoming more discrimi-
mating.
Plentiful liquor supplies in the
large centers are said by prohibi-
ton officers to be due to an un-
precedented inflow of rare brands
of intoxicants from abroad.
imported liquors of Scotch,
Irish, English and French manu-
facture are pouring into the Uni
ted States through the poorly
guarded gateways on the coasts
and borders.
Dry-law chiefs, cutting down.
their already small staffs of
agents, because OF depleted funds
allotted for the remainder Of the
fiscal year by congress, merely
gasp and confess they are power
less to stop the importations.
Bootleg centers, finding it cas-
ier to obtain the foreign liquors
and in much greater quantities
than the old familiar brands Of
American make, are quoting at
trartive prices for their wares.
Officials are advised that whis-
key, brought in over the Canadian
and Mexican borders, is finding
it's way quickly into the larger
consuming cities, and the methods
of transporting the supplies are
seldom baked by dry officers.
Handlers of wet" products, Of
ficials admit, are growing more ac-
customed to the haunts of the dry
law agents and are having NO
trouble in that quarter.

Post Office
IsDue
Extravaganza of After.
War Period Will Be
Curtailed Without
Efficiency Loss

Washington, Aug. Postwar
readjustment at the larger post
offices throughout the country is
to begin at once, according to de-
tailed instructions that have been
sent to about 10000 postmasters
by the postoffice department.
These instructions called attention
to the acute financial condition OF
the country and to the urgency OF
meeting the desire Of the president
for economy in public expenditures
as far as possible in the postal SER
vice.
While aiming at extravagant
and expensive methods which
crept in during and Immediately
after the war, positive Instructions
have been given to postmasters to
keep constantly In mind that the
service must not be curtailed or
impaired.
Plans for the reduction In ex-
penditures at post offices, which
will amount to approximately $5,-
100000 out OF the 5000, 900 to
be saved In postal expenditures
for the current fiscal year, have
been under way for several
months. Careful comparisons of
expenditures with the receipts and
business transacted have been
made. Business and receipts at
many offices doubled and trebled
incident to the war, and clerical
and carrier forces were increased
accordingly, including extraordi-
nary expenditures for auxiliary
and substitute service, az well as
for overtime. The general survey
of postal conditions shows that,
while this emergency has long
since passed, and with population
and business greatly lessened at
many Of these larger offices, there
are few that have made any ap-
preciable curtailment In expendi-
lures or voluntarily surrendered
any clerks or carriers. On the
other hand, the general survey
shows, expenditures for auxiliary
help have continued unstinted,
overtime has apparently been un-
necessarily epIoyed, and repeated
requests have been made for addi-
tional clerks and carriers.
Postmasters are asked to con-
slider the revision OF schedules OF
clerks and carriers; the shifting OF
forces from one section to another,
according to the volume Of work,
and to arrange the work OF the
office so as to avoid the necessity
for overtime work, as well as toI
carefully scrutinize all miscellane-
GUS expenses OF their offices.
Public participation In this ef-
fort to save at post offices is sug-
gested by use of mail receptacles
at residences and business houses.
Early mailing. facing Of mail, use
OF precanceled stamps and simple
routing OF mail by heavy users of
the mail are urged as an aid to
economy, as well as in the quick
despatch OF mail
