Six hundred Japanese were killed by the bolsheviki about eight months ago at Blavletche"nsk. in other sections Seminoffs men and the Japanese are "in cahoots," say the returning doughboys. Great Britain has decided to with draw all her troops from Siberia, as tie is discouraged. The Siberian troops that she trained have sold their rifles to the bolsheviki and re fused to fight. There are now 70,000 Japanese troops in Siberia. j This is some of the information brought back from Vladivostok by the returning Yanks who Dassed i hrough here yesterday. ! OREGONUX NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Dec. 9. Women of the northwest, be on your guard. Mary Garrett Hay will get you if you don't watch out. Miss Hay, short, thick and about 48. with a pretty face and hair al most white, stepped out in the pres ence of a large number of newspaper men gathered at the suite of Chair man Bays of the republican national committee at the new Willard hotel this afternoon and announced that she plans to have a working repub lican women's organization in every state, village and hamlet. As chairman of the women's di vision of the republican national com mittee, she told how a woman's or ganization had been completed in 24 states, which do not include any on the Pacific coast, except California. She said, however, that just as soon as the national committee has closed Jts sessions in this city during the next two days she expects to put her organizers to work in the north west. Active Workers Wanted. "I do not want a paper organiza tion," she said. "I want active women workers who will go out and talk to the women voters and keep on talking and work ing until the polls are closed next November." Miss Hay was filling in a breach caused by Chairman Hays having been called to the telephone. Some of her audience were obviously more curious about thjs woman who was taking such a conspicuous part in a great national political organization than they were in- what she had to say about the campaign. "Where are you from?" inquired someone. "I am from New Tork, but was born In Indiana," she replied, with the same willingness to supply personal as well as political information. Campaign Interests Women. One noticeable feature of this po- lltical gathering where women shared equal prominence with the opposite eel was the absence of cigars and cigarettes in the hands or mouths ot the men who came to listen and learn. It was announced by Miss Hay that Josephine Corliss Preston- of Olympia, Wash., who is vice-president of the women's executive committee of the national republican committee, would not be able to attend the sessions or the dinner given tonight by the worn en's division to the members of the national committee. "I cannot too strongly emphasize the interest in politics evidenced by the women of the country," said Na tional Chairman Will H. Hays by way of supplementing the remarks of Mary Garrett Hay. It is plain the women are taking and are going to take a keen interest in affairs, and espe cially in those affairs that come close to the home. They stand for Ameri canization, for law and order, for the spirit of justice, for economy and eound administration, for reduction of taxes and for effective dealing with the high cost of living. The women are for a budget system." Chicago May Get Convention. It became obvious early in the day that Chicago is practically sure of being chosen as the place for holding the national convention, the St. Louis boosters having even failed, up to a late hour today, to make personal appeals to the national committeemen from the northweetern states who came here with an open mind. Tues day, June 8, looks like the opening day of the convention. Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Cal ifornia are represented in person by their national committeemen, all of whom arrived today. While some of them are known to have decided opinions regarding a presidential candidate when at home, all were in clined toward reticence today. strung mat as memoers or the na tional committee their personal views should be withheld at this time. S. A. Perkins of Washington, who is an ardent Polndexter man when at home, refused to express any prefer ence here, while Ralph Williams of Oregon, having never declared for any particular candidate at home, pre served the same cautious neutrality here. In response to inquiries he said there were three live candidacies be fore the republican voters of Oregon those of Wood. Lowden and Hiram Johnson, and that others are welcome to throw their hats in the ring out vs tnere any time. Rx-Opponrnt Supports Johnson, William II. Crocker of California, former opponent of Senator Hiram W. Johnson, did not mind letting it be known that he is now an earnest sup porter of Senator Johnson, although ne wished to have it understood tha his business here now is not in the interest of any candidate. Ralph Williams of Oregon will rep resent Thomas H. Tongue, chairman of the Oregon state republican com mittee, at the meeting of the National Association of State Republican Chair men Thursday. Ex-Representatlv llliam i.. Humphrey was delegated today to represent Samuel Walker, state chairman of Washington, whil John Thomas, state chairman Idaho, is here in person, as also John W. Hart, Idaho's national com mitteeman. Mr. Williams of Oregon, it becam certain today, will be made a membe of either the executive committee of the national committee or be placed on the committee on arrangements for the national convention. POLE LINE IS OPPOSED PROTEST FILED OX WILLAM ETTE BOULEVARD WORK. B. Yeon Declares Proposed Elec tric Circuit AVouId Deface At tractive City Drive. "Vigorous objection to the erection of poles on which electric wires are to be strung, along Willamette boule vard, is made in a communication addressed to the city council and filed with City Auditor Funk yesterday by J. B. Yeon. According to Mr. Yeon. the North western Electric company is instali- ng an electric circuit to serve the St. Johns district and m so doing has se eded Wilamette boulevard on which to enect the necessary poles. In the letter filed yesterday Mr. Yeon says that a vain effort to cause cessation of the work has been made through the office of the city engineer, and that in the hope that the desecration of this beautiful drive will not be permitted. Attention of the council is called to the fact that Air. Yeon and Simon Benson have obtained considerable holdings of doubtful value for tle single purpose of doing all possible to make Willamette boulevard attractive. Whatever has been necessary for in creasing- the width of the roadway, he says, or straightening curves or any other contingency, has resulted in donation of property by the two men. Mr. Yeon s letter continues, as follows: 'Another important artery, the St. Johns river road to connect with the Willamette boulevard, is now being constructed at an expenditure of $300,000. Added to this, this thorough fare is the important link connecting the St. Johns terminal, the industrial center of the peninsula, with the busi ness section of the city, and notwith standing its economic value, the boulevard is so attractively situated that its disfigurement by the erection of a string of unsightly poles would be very deplorable."

The short course on using the home newspaper to sell farm produce, which will be offered at O. A. C. Farmers' week, De cember 29-January 3, is receiving widespread attention from the farm ers and valuable support by the news papers over the state. "The value of such a course to the farmers cannot be emphasized too strongly," says Homer L. Roberts, formerly a news writer for the Mal heur Enterprise, and now a student in industrial journalism. "The home press offers the quickest and cheapest route to a seasonable market. The newspaper is the farmer's traveling salesman. "I know of a farmer who had a new strain of wheat peculiarly adapted to his locality, which he desired to in troduce to his neighbors. He adver tised and the supply of seed was quickly exhausted. The stockman who raises purebred stock will find that the home paper will. place him in touch with just the buyer with whom he wants to deal." Fruitgrowers will find these ad vertlsine lectures of immense practi cal value. Mr. Roberts predicts. H has seen the plan worked out in the Brogan peach section of Malheur county. The grower advertises his fruit, prices and the time the fruit will be ready, with the result that much of the crop is sold in his own neighborhood. The art of writing' ads that sell, preparing copy for the press and the distinction between reader and dis play advertising are points which will be considered in the course of farm advertising, which will be con ducted by C. J. Mcintosh of the de partment ofindustrlal journalism. Dr. Young to Stay In Albany. ALBANY. Or.. Dec. 9. (Special.) Upon the request of the officers and members of the church. Rev. George J H.
