Spirited all-day debate of the ques tion In the Stnate, In which Important revelations of the Nation's military program were made, followed the mil itary committee conference. The Sena-e adjourned until tomor row In the midst of discussion with a vote not In Immediate prospect, but with Administration leaders confident of ultimate defeat of the proposal. To morrow the fittht la to be wsumed with a Una. vote expected before the end of the week. Before the Senate reconvened to day, Senator Raker, General March and Provost Marshal General Crowder, who went to the capltol at the request of mmlrv of the military committee, spent nearly three hours behlud clos ed doors with the committee. The Secretary and Chief of Start said legislation to change the age limits should be deferred for 60 or 90 days, aa enough men for the existing Army program are available, and a new and enlarged Army program Is now being prepared for submission to Congress within a few months. Clackamas county la fast on the trail of W. 8. S. victory. Hardly , had the assignment of quotas for the dis tricts been made by County Chairman J. K. Calavan, until the reports of "over the top, and still going strong" commenced to come In from a dozen different points. ' Not In any previous patriotic drive tor funds has the enthusiasm been so keen-. With the monster rally here last Saturday as a starter for the campaign, the leaders In the 135 dis tricts throughout the country have hammered away each day since with all tne fevor at their command. No let up has been allowed, the house to houre canvassing has been faithfully carted on and the pledges of the pop ulation taken down. Tho response has been hearty. No side-stepping of the Issue has been reported by the die tr'r.t . committeemen. Every single resident Is coming along in fine shape and the National War Savings Day celebration on June 28, will be the occasion for a general thanksgiving upon the successful culmination of one of the largest Issues for funds ever authorized by the government. Among the districts that have re ported their quotas subscribed In the War Savings Stamp campaign are Advancer Currlnvllle, Baxter, Fir Grove, Harlow, Kelso, Stone, Sandy, Rock Creek, and Holcomb.

At this time the entire population of the county will be expected to convene at the var ious school houses throughout the county, where they will be addressed by speakers on the Issue at hand, and where the final roll call of subscribers to the "baby bonds" will bo held. Since the history of the nation there has been no meotlng such as Is scheduled by proclamation of our President for that date.

The Public Service Commission today Issued two orders, affecting the Portland & Oregon City Railroad Company. In one, on com plaint of the citizens of Mllwaukle, and others the commission requires the company to comply with their publish ed schedules In the operation of trains, and also orders them to desist from filling gas tanks on gasoline cars while there are passengers aboard the car. This practice la held as dan gerous to the traveling public. The order also requires the railway com pany to establish and maintain com fortable and adequate station facilit ies for Its patrons. Crosslnns were ordered on the road way, which Includes an overhead crossing at the Bprlngwater county road. The County Court of Clackamas County objected to this crossing, on the grounds that It would Interfere with the operation of their rock crush er and quarry, but the commission brushed this objection aside, declar ing that It Is a question to be ad- Justed only In the proper state courts. Four grade crossings were also order ed placed, one at the William Mom power place, at Pinner's Mill, at Viola, and one at another point on tha coun ty road. E The exemption board of the Clack amas county selective service depart ment has received another call for 89 clasa one reglstranta to entrain for Camp la wis, about the 22nd of July. The Clackamas county draft officials by but a few days, will require nearly all of the available class one men In the county, In the estimation of the clerk of the board, and It may be that some of the ship yard workers will be called to complete the list. There are now approximately a hundred of the Clackamas county claaa one men em ployed In the ship yards, thereby re ceiving deferred classification. They will be subject to call, however, be fore the class two men are called. Orders have also been received here by the board for the mailing of the questionnaires to the 192 class one men who registered on June 5. This list will be available for call In about two months, in the opinion of the ex emption board, but just what per centage will be utilized cannot be determined until the return' of the questionnaires.

PORTLAND COUPLE TO WED A marriage license was issued here yesterday to Alon Kennedy, 27, of 1103 Hawthorne Street, Portland, and Miss Helen Rosa, 18, of the same address, mm 1 G CROWDS The draft increment of 83 class one men got away for Camp Lewis on good time yesterday morning when they departed on the 8:40 Southern Pacific. With the expectlon of 4 men, all of the list showed up Sunday afternoon for Inspection,' and after assembling on the court house lawn for review before the draft officials, they were released until train time. Sunday night at the Electric hotel, an informal banquet was held under the auspices of the Commercial club In honor of the boys, at which time speakers made short talks on the pres ent day situation. Among the speak ers were W. T. Mllllken, John W. Loder, and O. D. Eby. The boys were the guests of the Commercial club while in the city, and were entitled to the privileges of the club rooms and billiard parlor. There were a num ber of the men 'unable to return to their homes for the last night with relatives and friends, and they were glad to take advantage of the hospital ity of the city on the ocasslon of their entrance into the National Army. At train time yesterday, a huge crowd was out to bid the contingent fare-well, and they were speeded on their way to American Lake with the well wishes of hundreds of citizens ringing in their ears. Among the num ber were several young men from Oegon City the majority, however, coming from the rural districts. OF Organized and ' unorganized labor met in the long threatened battle on the streets of Oregon City late Satur day afternoon and for half an hour fought with tooth and toe-nail to their hearts' content Heads were cracked, noses broken and blood flew in aU directions. It was a glorious occasion for those who met their personal enemies In the thick crowd of hundreds lammed around the east end of the Suspension bridge and on Main and Seventh Streets. And when those filled with the blood lust could find no one against whom they had a little or big grudge, any likely looking opponent was - picked. One man, not of either faction, was jump ed on and emerged with his tact beat en into a pulp. The fight waa scheduled for five o' clock and it was, pulled off promptly on time. The striking mill workers, most of whom work In the ship yards In Portland, came In a body. They brought Kelly Loe, of the Labor Press and a representative of the Portland! News, as special press correspondents, j Oregon City was not backward in arrangements for the fray. It had been rumored about for several days that the fight was to occur. Hundreds of people were on hand at the appointed time and the un-organized mill work ers were at the bridge at five o'clock ready to meet their opponents. For half an hour the hundreds of specta tors had battle thrills seldom experi enced in this day" of law and order. The forces were well set prior to the battle. The Invading strikers lin ed up on either side of the east ap proach of the Suspension bridge awaiting the arrival of non-union mill workers from the mills in West Linn. They had been In line only a short time when a massed formation of men started across the bridge from the West Linn side. B. T. McBain, mill manager sauntered unconcernedly in the lead, a few feet behind him came G. W. Moriarlty and behind them a big mass of mill workers, filing the bridge from railing to railing. The air was surcharged with battle. Manager McBain passed through the lines of strikers before hostilities be gan. Bystanders assert that hisses di rected at him precipitated the fight. Moriarlty, of the non-union mill work ers is credited with being the star preformer and it is said he was every where in the fight and before the fight was stopped whipped at least eight men. Moriarlty asserts he is an ex marine of the United States, and an Irishman. The Oregon City police was entire ly unable to cope with the situation. No extra police had been sworn in to stop the scheduled tray and al though It raged for half an hour in the center of the city, none were sworn in to handle the disgracing spectacle. Traffic across, the Suspen sion bridge and along Main Street was blocked for that length of time. There were a number of little in teresting side-lights to the fight. One woman, with a baby in her arms, was seen in the midst of the crowd, urg ing her favorites to "give It to 'em." Men would emerge from the thicket of humans with blood streaming from their faces, mill around in a dazed condition until they collected their senses and then break back into the crowd, looking for the ones respons ible for their temporary defeat. The names of a few of the most strenuous fighters were taken by the police and deputy sheriffs but no one was 'jugged." After gorging themselves with the battle spectacle, the onlook ers dispersed and the officials were able to perpetuate a temporary truce, at least, between the battle-scared workers. IIAI1L HEN 10 LEAVE END OF WEEK Saturday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, has been set for the hour of assemb ling here of the eight clans one regls tranta, who leave at midnight Satur day for the special two months' course of mechanics at the California School of Mechanical Arts, at San Francisco.

The names of the 89 men, who are drafted to answer a call on July 22 will not be released by the local selective service Officials until the departure of the in crement of July 5, as it cannot be aa tertained in advance Just how many at the alternates may be required to fill the quota.

The Importance of the American ad vance in Bellieu wood is not indicated by the amount of territory captured aa that only amounts approximately to 500 square yards. The new positions of the Americans, however, dominate the ridge beyond, so that they now bold the apperhand.

The Germans also are told that submarines have sunk between 40 and 50 ships in Long Island Sound. - - . i Another German officer, arrogant and sarcastic, remarked f "We are Jnst starting with the Am ericans. We are going to wipe out whole divisions as if they were com panies.1 The German privates were less ar rogant and apparently were glad they were captured. One declared that the Germans were surprised at the Ameri cans, who appeared so young, but fought like devils, when they got started. Another declared: "The war will soon be ended!
