"0U GIVE, WE SERVE"
SLOGAN OF NEXT DRIVE
"You give, we serve." This is the
motto adopted by the committee in
charge of the drive for f 25,000 In the
state of Oregon outside of Portland,
which will be conducted by the Salva
tion Army beginning September 15.
The Salvationists are living up to
their reputation of serving those less
fortunate than themselves by send
ing their best workers together with
thousands of dollars to minister to
the 'physical and spiritual needs of the
tired, homesick, sick and wounded
boys In the trenches and now Oregon
is to be given an opportunity to give
to this noble work.
In commending the work of this
organization Secretary of War Bak
er says: "We are very glad to ob
serve that the Salvation Army is
lending its powerful and in many
ways unique aid in the general co
operation of the community at large
with the military activities of the
com n try. This co-operation is a new
thing in the world's history and the
war department welcomes and is
grateful for such help as you and
your association can give."
RYE PASTURE IS USED
TO HELP HAY SHORTAGE
OORVALLIS, Or., Aug. 19. Rye
for fall 'pasture to relieve the hay
shortage is being planted by many
Lane county farmers. Those who
tried It last year report to N. S.
Robb, county agricultural agent,
that they are enthusiastic over the
results obtained. A much larger
planting is expected this year.
"Rye seeded in, September can be
pastured all fall," says Mr. Robb.
Is the best supplemental feed for
dairy cows. Cattle, sheep and hogs
feed upon it. It Is so good that most
of the rye grown in Lane county last
fall was used up for pasture with
tlie result that the amount harvest
ed! is not more than a fourth of the
quantity needed this fall."
Rye for pasture has not been
grown so extensively as it should
be, thinks Mr. Robb, who has ar
ranged supply and demand lists and
will bring enough extra seed from
Portland to fill all farmer orders.

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19. Provost
Marshal General Crowder has issued
a call on 18 states for 5,709 white
draft registrants with grammar
school education who are fp for che
general service. These regisrants
will be sent to special schools for
obtaining a training tho government
desires them to accept. Northwest
ern states are not included in the
citll. Secretary of War Baker declar
ed In a statement to the house mili
tary committee today that mo gen
eral exemption of married men, sim
ply because of their married status,
was contemplated by the war depart
ment In preparing the proposed ex
tension of the draft ages. Baker
said that his previous utterances on
the subject had been misconstrued.
Any married man, according to the
war department, who is not the fath
er of children and engaged In sup
porting a family or employed In some
useful occupation, should fight.
Consideration of the man power
bill will be aken up in the senate
next Thursday. The secretary of war
stated today that he would not ob
ject to the provision making a sep
arate clasB of boys between 'the ages
of 18 and 19 yeara, and to defer call
ing them, as far as practicable un
til after all others In class one have
been exhausted. Baker said, in refer
ence to the age limit, "that there is
a sentiment in this conimltteo again.it
calling men as young as 18.unlo3s it
becomes absolutely necessary. I think
the sentiment of the country Is to get
all the men necessary-"
Provost Marshal General Crowder
stated that he plans to call 2,000,000
men by next June. General March
alleged in his statement to the com
mittee that tho country will need ev
ery man in class one between the ages
of 18 and 45 to bring the national
army up to the strength required.
- General March also stated that the
war department plans to send 62,000
men to France every month for the
present, btut that it Is hoped to In
crease this number very largely next
spring. The United States army, 'on
August 1, numbered 3,012,112 men.
Probably about half of this total are
In France. It Is understood that the
war department expects to have an
army of 5,000,000 men In France to
prosecute the drive ion Berlin, and
this force will be Bent across just as
raptdly as possible.

The Most Difficult Feat of its Kiud

Dute Should Not Be Con
fused WlU i August 24.
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 19. (Spe
cial to The News.) So important Is
the haste In registering all men who
will be affected by the new draft law
soon to be passed by congress, which
probably will extend the draft pro
visions to include men from 18 to 20,
and from 32 to 45 Inclusive, that lo
cal borrun are completing ah pre
parations now to conduct tlie regis
tration. The date of the new regis
tration day for these men cannot be
foretold definitely until congress ac
tually enacts the law. But It will In
all probability be before September
15. Consequently, for their own pro
tection, all men within the ages men-1
Honed should keep very carefully
posted) through the newspapers in re
gard to the date of the registration
day. This is necessary because there
will be no time to give long notice be
forehand. Registration day probably
will follow very closely the passage
of the bill, because of the urgent
need for more men to keen filled the
ranks of class 1.
No ex cni sea will be accepted for
failure to register. Even ignorance
I of the date of registration day will
not be accepted. As the penalty for
failure to register will be very se
vere, It is doubly imperative on every
man affected to protect himself by
learning the date as soon as it Js an
nounced. Registration will be con
ducted by local draft boards. These
boards are now imperatively In need!
of volunteer registrars to assist them
in the work of registration. This
registration will be the most difficult
feat of its kind ever attempted by any
nation, for it is estimated 'that the
number of men who will register in
on day will be close to 13,000,000.
In the meantime, this registration
day for men of 18 to 20 and 32 to 45
years, inclusive, bIiouI not be confus
ed with the registration day to be
held Saturday, August 24, for the
registration of men who have become
21 years old since last June 5.
CARS BLOCKED STREET
TOR JUST EVEN HOUR
Through some blunder in connec
tion with orders Issued to trainmen
Winchester street was blocked to
traffic just an even hourr .Saturday
night, and those whov got. by either
crawled over or 'under tho "empties"
that were left on the &pur crossing
the street in North Roseburg. From
about 10:15 to 11:15 a train of sev
eral cattle cars confronted all pedes
trians andi vehicles on Winchester
street. All attempts to get the cars
moved out of the way sooner went for
naught, and the only thing that could
be done was to wait, and this quito a
good many did, although they were
not altogether patient about the de
lay. There was no way of easily
getting oiut of town -or Into town
from the north during the hour, as
rains had made unpaved streets bad
going for autos and other vehicles,
so travellers gloomily waited for tho
trainmen to come and move tho ob
struction. After appeals had been
successively .made to the railway of
fices, the chief of police and the dis
patcher's office, a switch engine fin
ally went over and cleared the track
at the, Winchester street crossing.

TOKIO, Aug. 19. Newspapers
throughout Japan ore today prohibit
ed by the government from printing
reportB of the rice riots. The minis
try alleges that the disorders arc
abating. It Is becoming the general
belief that the rice situation lias be
come a political issue. ,
TOKIO,' Aug. 18. Troops have
been called out in nearly every 1m-
portunt city in Japan. Even the
naval station at Mulauru Is affected
by the unrest. Toklo is tonight oc
cupied! by heavy detachments of -o-
lice and infantry. The newspapers
are forbidden to publish news of any
kind relative to the rice riots.
LONDON, Aug. 18. A dispatch to
tho exchange Telegraph from Tien
Tain dated Friday says:
"The Japanese rice riots are prov
ing the worst outbreak against the
constituted authority witnessed in
many years. The rioters are resort
ing to acta of extreme violence, such
as tlie use of dynamite and Incen--dlarlsm."
TOKIO, Aug. 14. Tho newspaper
comment here seems to indicate that
the food riotB throughout the coun
try are an expression of growing so
cial unrest among the people and to
reriect the belief that the empire is
advancing toward a social crisis. The
riots are spreading; involving tho
poor and the middle classes.
It Is remarked- that the uprisings
are often antl-onpltallstic, mobs de
stroying the property and voicing
anger at evidences of luxury. Geisha
girls have been stoned in the streets
and the houses of the rich have been
assailed. The war has Increased the
luxuries of the rich and the misery of
he- poor, as insufUcIent wages are
paid. The riots are the first of the
kind to occur since Japan was opened
to western -civilization.
Disorders broke onit In 'Toklo on
Tuesday night. A crowd of 6000
which was prevented from congregat
ing In the park marched to the Glnza,
tie great retail thoroughfare of tho
city, where -they stoned and damaged
200 stores and restaurants, raided
rice depots and unsuccessfully at
tacked the ministry of the Interior.
Ninety arrests were made and 20
policemen were Injured.
OSAKA, Aug. 14. Mobs today pil
laged grocery, drygoods stores and
rood depots, and set fire to theatres,
and other buildings. The military
forces called out, were attacked.
Street railways have suspended op
erations at night and the governor
has forbidden the people to be on the
streets after dark. At Malzura, where
2000 workmen from tho naval arsen
al joined the populace in sacking the
rice stores, many persons were In
jured in the light with the police.
. W. W. SAY THEY
HAD A FAIR TRIAL
CHICAGO, Aug. 18. There Is no
complaint by the Industrial Work
ers of the World that they did not
receive absolutely fair treatment in
their trial. This was made clear to
day by William D. (Big Bill) Hay
wood hlmseir. He expressed him
seir as satisfied that Judge Landls
had given everyone of the 100 de
fendants a. square ,ld'cal, and isald
this was the opinion of all the con
victed men, without one dissenting
voice.
"I have no fault to find with Judge
Landis, and pone of the rest of ub
have," said Haywood at the county
jail. !'He was fair to us, absolutely
square throughout the whole trial.
His instructions wer-3 fair, I thought,
and certainly he treated ub excellent
ly while tho trial was in progress.
"Everything possible that could be
done for us during the trial was
done. This is shown by Judge Lan
dis letting about 70 of us out on
our own recognizance. I am glad
that none ot us violated the confi
dence he reposed) In us, but that all
of ma were on hand for the final
day.
"I think If the Jury had followed
the Instructions there would have
been a different story. -1 hope the
next steps will be taken quickly. If
our motion for a new trial is denied,
we shall, of course, appeal,
"We are still good I. W. W., all
of us. rivery one Is loyal to the or
ganization. We look upon our con
viction us merely an incident In the
history of the I. W. V. In reality we
regard tho organisation bb only born
yesterduy, and are sure It will flour
ish." r
CounBel for the convicted .men de
clined to say anything ln advance of
Judge LandlB' determination of the
mattor of a new trial. They expect
the day for the argument of this, to
be fixed this week. They all agreed
that Judge Landis had treated them
fairly. ,
The prisoners are In two groups
at the county Jan. Forty-two of
them are in the new section, on the
fifth floor. I'lrty-olght are In the
"old Jail. ' on the first floor. Today
not being a visiting day at the jail,
no members of the families of the

William Chance, their - "outside
agent," however, brought them about
160 'parcels in an automobile. These
