soldiers In the ball park at Angel
Island. "Shorty" stated! that it took
just ten ml unites playing and though
he hated to -take the money, it was
forced upon 'himwith many words of
appreciation. He stated also that he
was very much in demand with his
bones, and was mighty glad that he
could be of some help to the boys in
keeping them in good spirits. Be
cause of the fact that he was always
laughing and whistling "Shorty" has
already acquired a new nickname, j
that of "Cheero" and according to

the secondl day after his arrival at

25 CIS. AT ANTLERS
The local branch of the Na-
4 tional Council of Defense has 4
4 decided! that in order to get ev-
erybody to attend the exhibition
of the "Beast of Berlin." to be 4
4 shown at the AntlerB theatre 4
next week, the admission price 4
will be 26 cents . straight 4
through. It was first thought to
charge more, but this seems ill-
4 advised, so Mayor Rice stated
this morning, and the local
council of defense wants every- 4
4 body to see this wonderful pro-
ductlon, so decided the 25 cent
admission would best serve the 4
4 purpose. While it will cost sev-
4 eral hundred- dbllars to bring 4
the picture here, it is believed
that its exhibition will ' give a
vivid glimpse of what America
4 is up against If Prussianlsm
4 should be allowed to win, and 4
4 inspire a greater determination
4 to whip the Germans.

ROSEBURG, DOUGLAS
WELL LAID
I
Every County In the State Ap
preciate Importance ,
of This Work. .
MEN MUST HAVE CARE
Doctors and Nurses of Red Cross
Will Care for Wounded and Sick
Soldiers at tho Front
Money Is Needed.
The second war fund Red Cross
drive for-1100,000,000 will be
launched May 20, and continue until
May 27. Oregon's quota has been Bet
at $600,000. The machinery ihos all
been set in motion, and it now is ex
pected that Oregon will reach the
full quota by the evening of the 21st.
Every county in tho state is alive to
the importance of this drive. Thou
sands of American and allied soldiers
are being wounded every day. Never
before has the coll for help from the
American Red Cross been so urgent
as now. Most all of tho first one
hundred million lias been expended.
Suffering humanity at home and In
L'urope has felt the tender ministry
supplied by the American Red Cross,
but the need Is Just as great as one
year ago, more men are on the bat
tle front, more families of soldiers
must be cared for, more orphan
children will demand our care, more
hospitals must be-built, more, doctors
and nurses must be sent across, more
supplies are needed.
There is just one answer to this
call, and that Is dig deep and iay
every dollar you can. Then just a
little more to show your' Intense in
terest in the boys "over there." The
third liberty loan has been over
subscribed we thought It would be,
but some one says that was an invest
ment. True it was, and a mighty
good one, but this is tho biggest in
vestment of all. - It pays a higher
rate of Interest than liberty bonds,
and pays the interest daily instead
of senil-annually-not In gold, but In
the realization that you have brought
relief to suffering humanity. This Is
especially true as to our American
soldiers and sailor boys who are away
fighting your battle and mine many
of them today suffering from shot
and shell and gas attackB, while we
are privileged! to remain at home and
enjoy the blessings of the good old
U. S. A.
Douglas county boys are on the
battle front today hundreds of theih
are on the way. They are fearless,
brave, willing to suffer, die it need
be. that the land we love may for
ever be (reed from the danger of
Prussianlsm, and America made safe
for future generations. Alongside
these American boys are the British,
the Canadian, the French, the Ital
ian, the Chinese, all fighting for .the
same end, i. e. "Peace on earth, good
will to men."
Wherever 'there Is suffering or
need, either at home or abroad, the
American Red Cross society Is near
by, to lend aid! and bring relief. This
tender ministry can only be contin
ued so long as we supply the funds
with which to carry on the work.
Following is the personnel of the
committee for Douglas county, who
will have charge of the campaign:
Dexter Rice, chairman; A. G. Suth
erlin, manager; J. E. McCHntock,
publicity manager; Rev. C. H. Hilton,
chairman of speakers; H. O. Parge
ter, cashier. The Beveral captains
and lieutenants will be named later.

COUNTY, OREGON. ', .FRIDAY,
Flood Light of Publicity . Is
. TurnecJ on the Activities
of dutzon Borglum. y '
TO BE SILENT PARTNER
Evidence Shows Sculptor Wanted to
Form a Corporation of .His Own
and "Help" the Government -With
Airplane Program.
(By Associated! Press.)
WASHINGTON, May 10. A flood
light of publicity was turned today
on the activities of Qutzon Borglum,
the sculptor, whose duty, it has bec-u
to make a thorough investigation of
the aircraft production in the capac
ity of agent pf President Wilson, and
evidence bi ought to light shows that
Borglum's proclivities as a govern
ment repi .tentative were mainly di
rected to ills own benefit and that he
has been conniving to line his pock
ets at tlie expense of the nation,
while "we should worry" whether
or not tho United States ever shipped
any airplanes over to France.
Letters and statements in the
hands of the department today show
very conclusively that Borglum's
own airplane investigations failed to
stand the test, audi -further, while
acting us the president's agent he
negotiated for the formation of an
aircraft -corporation, In which asso
ciation ho was to be a silent partner.
Borglum's close association - and
friendship with the president was the
means by which he intended to give
his corporation special advantages
and the business was to 'proceed un
der proper management while he re
mained in 1 the back ground and
"shoveled" up' the business, the docu
ments to this effect now being In the
hands of the senators. Hugo Gibson
connected with the British war mis
sion, also negotiated) with Borglum.
as did Kenytffl -Mix, of " the Dodge
Manufacturing Co., of Wisconsin, but
the latter became suspicious of the
operations of the sculptor and with
drew from his proposed scheme.

CLAUDE T
E
Douglas County Lad Tells of
. Life in the United
States Army. :
HE IS NOW IN FRANCE
Young Man Has Scores of Friends
Here Who Will lie Glad to .
Learn of His Pleasant
Surroundings. I
Mr. and Mrs. L. T. Thompson, of
325 W. Washington street, have re
ceived'' a letter from their son,
Clauidle, who Is with the colors over
seas, and the young man writes opti
mistically of the situation there and
army life in general. So far since
landing in Europe he states he .'-as
received 4.1 letters' from Oregon
friends and relatives, or an average
of two every three days. Mr. Thomp
son is a country lad, and this ac
counts for his noticing the stock In
England, and he refers especially to
the Bheep and horses he saw there,
and says they can beat us on those
animals, and continues:
Nothing to do this afternoon, so
will spend the day in answering let
ters. I only received six letters to
day, three yesterday and! three or
four a day or two before that. It
swer from over there. Your last let
sure takes a long time to get an an
ter of February 10 which came today
stated yau had received my letter I
wrote In France, which was the first
I wrote from 'this side. I am certain
you have -received quite a number
from me by this time, as I have wi it-
ten nearly every week.
Took quite a rldo Saturday after
supplies and saw some beautiful
country. Since I have been cooking
I get a chance to go with the truck
for supplies once in a while and can
see quite a bit of country. I certain
ly like my cooking Job,-.- Don't know
when I will be promoted to cook (I
mean when I will start drawing
cook's wages). The captain told me
a few days ago he would make me a
first class - private (which means
J 3. 60 more per month) and pro
mote me to cook as soon as there was
an opportunity. A cook draws tit
per month more than I do now, or
$44 per month. Pretty soft for two
fellows to cook for 150 men and work
one day In three.- I -sure am going
to do my best, to make good,: and
think I can, all right. i ' ,.
We certainly have a dandy bunch
of officers In our squadron ' and the
captain and nious sergeant can't be
beat. They are real men, every
inch of them. They are both pretty
strict, but certainly will give you a
square deal. To say it all in one
sentence, I can say I was never hap
pier in my whole 'life. I only wish
we would go to somo new country, for
I want to see all I can while I am
over hore. j.
Yqu know us much, and maybe
more, when I will be back than I do.
Several of the boys have bets among
themselves that we will be back by
the first of next year. For my part
I would not attempt to say.
The package with the big cake
and cookies which you sent I received
just an hour before we left the V. -3.
It certainly came handy on the way
over, I tell you.
I am sure I have received all the
letters andl packages that you have
sent except the ones returned to you.
Uncle Sam usually sees that the boys
all get their mull, but of course
where we are moved so much it Is
hard to keep "track" of us all the
time. One of the boys got a letter
today that had been forwarded so
much that both sides had been cov
ered with new addresses. 8o you
see we always get our mail even if it
does take a long time. All addresses
should be In ink and the return ad
dress in one corner.

- The republican electorate will have
the opportunity of deciding on Fri
day, May 17, between Charles L. Mc
Nary and Robert N. Stanfleld as their
candidate for the United States sen
ate, says the Sutherlln Sun.
This Is without question the most
Important office the people will be
called upon to fill this coming elec
tion. Oregon today has five lawyers
in the aipper and lower branches of
the national legislature. ' The great
and pressing need in this critical peri
od is for the highest and best type of
business men In our hallB of congress.
Oregon haB been sadly neglocted in
the way of recognition, when one con
siders the splendid and patriotic man
ner in which she has gone over the
Oregon Historical Society L
top first In the "'"""' .....i.
Cross campaigns.
It Is not that we have anything to
say ag'niiist Mr. McNary, but because
we can say nothing for him, in secur
ing for this commonwealth national
-.!. 1!..
recognition through cantonments, avi
ation fields, hospitulB, etc., that we
oppose him.
Robert N, Stanfleld, through his
extensive bUBlnoBs training and ex
perience, seems the ideal man to rep
resent Oregon in the Baauto. Tko big
business of today is the winning of
the war and a big business man
would' contribute much to this end.
The -time has come when Oregon
should be placed on the map in the
national congress.- Bob Stanfleld, so
far as this primary goes, is the one
man who can place her there.
COST TOURIST $18 MILE
-TI
E. R. Brown, at one time owner
of the Oregon City Courier, and who
is making a tour of the southern
part of the state by automobile
with, Harvey G. Starkweather, demo
cratic candidate for governor, arriv
ed in the city lost evening In com
pany with the latter gentleman. Mr.
Brown has some story to tell of the
roads In Pass creek canyon - tfiat
would make a fellow's hair stand
on endl The contractors who rhave
charge of building the road at this
particular section have torn up the
thoroughfare and the late rains have
played havoo with the 'grade, the
ground being so soft at this time that
it Is utterly - impossible to get
through without assistance of some
kind, and automobiles are stalled in
great numbers for a distance of sev
eral miles, while others have turn
ed back and shipped their oars on
south' by rail. The traveler said
there was absolutely no use trying to
make the trip through at this time
without figuring qn getting the as
sistance' of some farmer along the
route to jerk your machine out when
a mud-hole was struck, One big ma
chine got fastened In- the mud yes
terday, according to Mr. Brown, and
the idlrlver was compelled to get a
farmer with his team In order to get
out of the troiuble, for which he paid
$.' -The armei1 advised that' he had
better let him pull the car for about
a mile further down the road as he
was qulto confident that the man
with the auto would be unable to get
through, owing to the dilapidated
condition of the road, and for these
services the rural agent would charge
only $2 additional. "However, the
stranger decldodi he would "hit her
up" alone and get through, but at
the end of the mile it had cost him
just exactly $18 for employing vari
ous people with their horses to get
him out of a dozen or mors tranches.

LONDON, May 10. A SwISs
4 correspondent says that Prof.
Heron, an American living at
Geneva and described as being 4
a friend 'of President Wilson,
was approached with a peace 4
4 proposition from Germany by 4
4 Prof. Qulddo, a close friend of
4 Von Hertllng. It Is proposed
by Germany, according to the
4 peace proffer, to grant self gov-
4 ernment and -political Indopend'- 4
ence to Alsace-Lorraine within
the limits of the German em- 4
4 plre, and to make certain con-
cessions regarding Russia. For 4
4 this offer on the part of Ger-
4 many the allies were to restore 4
all German colonies and to 4
4 agree to no further economic 4
4 war against! Germany. Prof. 4
Heron has denounced the plans
mado by Quldde, saying they 4
wore a "rlgamarole of allusion 4
4 and deceit," stating further 4
4 that the United States would 4
4 continue the fight until Prus- 4

Order is General.
, PORTLAND, Ore., May 10. All
manufacturing concerns using sugar
in their products are to be put upon
a rationing basis, beginning May 16,
under a new food' administration
regulation just announced by Assist
ant Federal Food Administrator W.
K. Newell. After that date no man
ufacturer must buy sugar, nor whole
sale or retail dealers sell sugar to
any manufacturer, without the sur
render of a certificate issued! by the
food administration. ;
: "The object or the new regula
tion," said Mr. Newelt In an inter
view, "is to assure a sufficient sup
ply of sugar for home canners and
'commercial manufacturers- of pre
serves, jams and other foodstuffs re
garded as essential. . Under the re
strictions which become effective May
16, manufacturers of the lesser es
sentials, such as soft drinks and con
fectionery, will be permitted to use
only 80 per cent of last year's re
quirements. - Makers of non-edlble
products will be forced to go entirely
without sugar. The whole distribu
tion of sirgar for manufacturing pur- ;
poses will come under this rationing,
system, which will be carried out
through certificates showing the
amount of sugar each manufacturer
1b entitled! to, these amounts to be fig
ured out from the sworn statement
which each manufacturer must make i
and submit to the food administra
tion.;-; Under this system fictitious.
demands will be eliminated, and ev
ery phase of the manufacturing bfusl
ness has been so carefully consider
ed that Injustice and unfair discrim
ination will be avoided, and the inter
ference with business kept at the
lowest possible minimum consistent
with the essential saving of sugar."-
Included with confectionary and
soft (drlnlta, in the class of "lesser
essentials," audi therefore restricted
to 80 per' cent of their normal re
qulremetns in the use of sugar, are .
condiments, chocolates, candies, bev
erage syrups, fruit syrups, flavoring
extracts, chewing gum, cocoa, sweet
pickles, cereals and invert sugar.

"ThiB regulation will go Into effect
simultaneously all over the country
on May 16." said Mr. Newell, "andi

mtlng the new system, -but all manu
facturers should hold themselves in -readiness
to adjust their business to
the new requirements, which will be
strictly enforced beginning May 15.
I wish to give warning, also, to all
wholesale and retail dealers not to
sell sugar to manufacturing concerns
for 'Btocklng up purposes previous
to May 15, and all manufacturers are
like wise warned against attempts
to 'Block up' for future needs before
that date. The food administration
has adequate facilities for checking
up on Buch cases, and will promptly
know of any attempt to take advan
tage of this preliminary notice."
