Good Homes for Dependent ex-Soldiers Purpose of Projectors of National Organization. SEW YORK, Jan. 1. Disabled war veterans in Boston, Cleveland, Cin cinnati, Baltimore, Milwaukee, De troit, Columbus, O.; San Francisco, Denver, New Orleans and Minneapolis, handicapped for life and unable to more than barely live on the govern ment allowance of $80 a month during their vocational training, have writ ten to the headquarters of the Carry On association here requesting the establishment of Carry-On clubs in the cities named. According to the projectors of the association which provides the wounded soldier with a good home, nourishing food, laundry, dental and medical care, transportation and an allowance for clothes, all for $10 a week, a dependent ex-fighter is thus left with money enougr-h to keep up his war-risk insurance and have some amusement beside. Since last April, when the first experimental club was opened in New York at Thirty-eighth street and Madison avenue, accom modating 40 men and ten extra for meals, its work is said to have shown great possibilities. The organization opened another New York club on Christmas day and the week previous ly one with a capacity for 150 men was opened in Washington. - The enterprise is said to have the approval of the American Legion which is reported raising $50,000 in New Orleans for a "Carry-On" club there. Denver, with 3000 arrested tubercular cases, is alsA reported to be preparing for a club drive. Alto gether there are between 230.000 and 260,000 disabled ex-service men in the United States. The "boys" in the Carry-On club houses do much of the housework and enforce their own regulations. A big sunny living room filled with ex soldiers playing, reading and chatting or singing to the accompaniment of a phonograph or piano is the chief fea ture of the institution. One young ex-fighter said he gained 31 pounds in 30 days as a result of the good food and care he had received. The first club was formed, it was said, because it was shown by carefully compiled statistics that while an invalid young man might be able to live on $80 a month in many parts of the country it was Impossible to do so in a larg 'city. TO OPEN SERVICE TO BASRA "WILL BE ESTABLISHED SOOX. Another Step Taken in Construc tion of "Berlin-to-Bagdijd" Line Desired by. Germans. LONDON, Jan. 1. Train service be tween Basra and Bagdad. Asiatic Tur key, will be estabfished at an early date, it was announced today. Con struction is progressing at the rate of 14 miles a. day. The opening of railway service be tween Basra and Bagdad in Mesopo tamia announced In the foregoing dis patch for the near future, marks an other step in the construction of the German-planned "Berlin to Bagdad" railway, wM'-h cnind prominence during the war by reason of accusa tions that Germany coveted the sys tem as a means of realizing her dream of world dominion. The new section of the road from Bagdad, the former projected eastern terminal, to Basra brings the end of the line within a, few miles of the north shore of the Persian gulf, and can be Reached by vessels which ply in the Shat-el-Arab river, the. con fluence of the Tigris and Kuphrates. Building of this stretch of track re calls the heroic deeds of British and allied soldiers and military engineers, who during the war forced their way northward from the Persian gulf and laid the track while under enemy shell fire and suffering the hardships of the Mesopotamian campaign. POOEM HOLDS PETE GREAT" ROSE TOURNAMENT WITNESSED BY 250,000. CJW'S CABINET UPSET CHANGES ARE MADE BV PRE MIER BORDEN. Two Vacancies Remain to Be Filled. Minister ot Militia and De fense R-eceivcd. OTTAWA, Ont., Jan. 1. A shake-up was made in the dominion cabinet to day by Premier Borden before leaving the capital. The resignation of Major-General Mewburn as minister of militia and defense led to interchanges of several' other portfolios. Two vacancies will be filled on the premier's return. Sir George Foster, senior member of the privy council, will be premier during Mr.. Borden's absence. The premier's departure at the same time that Viscount Grey is leaving the United States for England has led to renewed discussion of the probability of the premier being appointed am bassador to- the United States. Arthur Sifton retired as minister of public works and became secretary of state in place of Martin Burrell, who was appointed minister of cus toms. Pending appointment of a succes sor to General Mewburn, J. A. Calder, minister of immigration and coloniza tion, will be acting minister of mili tia and defense. Dr. J. D.

Many Thousand Blooms Adorn Eloats and Pretty Girls in Pa rade; Foot ball Game Feature, PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 1. January was transformed Into May here today. Myriads of beautiful blooms were spread before the eyes of the thou sands who jammed every foot of avail able street space while Pasadena's annual tournament of roses parade passed in review. It was ' estimated that more than 1,500,000 cut blossoms were used to adorn the many floats, which carried, besides their burden of flowers, hun dreds of pretty girls attired in light draperies and themselves loaded down with fragrant blooms. The city, normally a place of 60,000 to 75,000 population, had grown over night to a metropolis of a quarter of a million or more. Starring early yes terday and continuing today long after the pageant had been staged, every road leading to the city brought its thousands. An almost unbroken line of automobiles extended from Pasadena to Los Angeles and other southern California cities most of the morning. The parade this morning was led by Frank G. Hogan. grand marshal, and five divisions, each divided into many classes, followed. Dr. F. F. Row land, who, with Dr. Charles Frederick Holder, founded the tournament in 1889. rode in the parade with W. L. Leishman, president of the Tourna ment association. Civic officials of many southern California cities, most of which had floats entered, also ap peared in the procession. The football game this afternoon was for 30,069 persons, that being the number of seats at Tournament park. The parade this morning was for everybody who could find a vantage point on streets, .fire escapes, roofs, cornices, windows or elsewhere. EUROPE'S OUTLOOK BLUE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OP 1919 FAR FROM REALIZED. Disillusion, Turmoil and Scarcity . Portion of Many Countries; Brit ain's Prospect Brighter. (Copyright by the New York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON. Jan. 1. (Special Cable.) The last year has falsified for Eu rope all the high expectations, both moral and material, that the world had based on the coming of peace. Instead of contentment there has been disillusion; instead of tranquillity, turmoil; and instead of plenty, scarc ity. Even the memories of the years of war hardly presented a more for bidding retrospect than that of 1919. Beyond question the senate's de lay in the ratification of the treaty has contributed substantially toward intensifying all the ills that have fallen upon Europe in this .disastrous year by giving an example and a li cense to all the' forces hostile to set tlement and favorable to bolshevism, as well as to those friendly to impe rialism and militarism. But while the continent is still seething in the after-throes of war, and the normal conditions of a toler able existence for vast areas are not yet in sight, the outlook in England encourages the hope for better things in 1920. Here the troubles of 1919 have mainly been caused by labor and the new year is being ushered in with the prospect that labor will abandon the strike method and give fair trial to arbitration. Labor has undoubtedly been steadied by evi dence throughout the election con tests of the year, culminating today in an enormous Increase in the labor roll in what has been one of the most consistently Tory constituencies in England, that on the next appeal to the country a labor government is quite within the pale of probability. Whether such a revolution in Eng land's politics will conduce to a bet ter state of things remains to be proved, but the tendency in public feeling is that any government could not be worse than the present one. London is celebrating the advent of the pw year with unprecedented jun keting quite in line with the amazing extravagance displayed at Christmas time. LICENSE PLATES DELAYED Only 35,000 Applications of, 83, 000 Vehicles Received. SALEM. Or., Jan. 1. (Special.) Because of the eleventh-hour rush it will be impossible for the secretary of state to mail all 1920 motor vehicU license plates for which applications have been received "before January 15, according to announcement made here today. A long line of applicants stood be fore the wicket In the secretary of state's office all day Tuesday and Wednesday, and it was not until near ly 11 o'clock last night that the em ployes of the automobile department temporarily- rested from their duties. Of the total of 83,000 motor vehicles registered in Oregon only 35,000 appli cations for licenses have thus far been received. Comparing the number of applications for licenses received up to last night with previous years the demand for the license plates for 1920 shows a marked decrease. German Force Estimated at Million.
