OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1918. Pace 8 ARMY AND NAVY HAVE E R PARIS, Sept. 2. Some Idea of the rapid growth of Y. M, C. A. activ ities in France may be gained from an Inspection of figures regarding the lumber of huts now in operation. The American section, which works entirely with the United States army and navy has in round numbers, 650 huts open. This includes all points of contact whether in specially construct ed buildings, of which the Association has erected about 125, in rented build ings, tents and d.igouts, in short, all points of contact in which the Red Triangle is serving the fighting men. The Foyer du Soldat, which is tha Y. M. C. A. branch operating with the French army, has an even larger number of huts, about 630 at latest ac counts. The Foyer has established 831 in the course of its existence, but has lost many through enemy gunfire or the necessity of yielding ground at various points. The number in opera tion Is constantly fluctuating. Almost all of the foyers are substantial build ings equipped with refreshment stand writing room, amusement facilities, etc. Dont Swallow Nuts Fruit Pits Wanted Children Must Help CORVALLIS, Ore., Aug.

ON JUNE 30 NEXT1M IPYARD Li War Call Him From Farm REGISTRANTS ARE TO T T WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. The Sheppard compromise amendment for National prohibition on June 30, 1919, and continuing until the American Army is demobilized was adopted late todav by the Senate without a roll call. Amendments of Senator Fhelan to exteud until June 30, 1920, the effect ive date for prohibition on wine and beer and also on wlna alone were overwhelmingly rejected by the Sen ate. Another amendment by Senator Phelan to permit six months' extra time for sale of wine also was re jected viva voce. Four-fifths of the country Is now dry, Senator Sheppard said, so that In reality this provision only affects a small part of the country. He said President Wilson was in sympathy with the measure and believed at least a year should be allowed before put ting it Into effect. Vigorously opposing the compromise. Senator Phelan, of California, said it would cause great financial loss to California wine interests. He urged another year of time for the wine industry. Citing daily rations of wine issued to French and Italian soldiers and their valor and hardihood, Senator Phelan said: '1 submit wine is a cardinal neces sity for winning the war. And if you are giving argument for steadfastness and courage I must submit the use of boer by the German people." NEWBl'RG. N. Y Sept. 2. Slack ers In American shipyards who loaf individually, and unions of shipbuild ers which limit the output of ships were denounced by Theodore Roose velt today tu an address preceding the launching of a ship at the Newburgh yards. A slacker in our shipyards is as shameful a creature as a coward in the army In Prance, and a good work er in the shipyards stands honorably forward like a good soldier in the army. I hav come to Newburgh largely because my inquiries have convinced me that here there has been no organised limitation of output and practically no loafing. I am con vineed that, generally speaking, there is a tine spirit of patritolsm In ship building labor in all parts of the coun try. Yet it has been alleged that tn cer tain yards men have loafed Individ ually and that In certain yards unions have actually limited the output so as to limit the number of rivets driven In a day, or the number of days that they work, or In other ways to pre vent the development of our utmost speed. Such men are traitors to the country. "If I had my way, I would take any such man and any man who aided or abetted him, put him in the army At once and send him across the water to do the hardest work In the most dangerous position and I would not give him a rifle until he had learned the spirit of patriotism. On the other hand, you whom I am .convinced rep resent the enormous majority of the shipyard workers, you who are doing your utmost night and day. week in and week out, stand on the honor roll of American citizenship as second only to our troops in France, and I honor you." YAKIMA, Wash., Sept. 2. As a re sult of an altercation over the mat ter of the rating of a Yakima married man in the draft, Mrs. C. A, Varney, former clerk of the local exemption board, says 6he wras forcibly ejected from the office of Sheriff W. P. Murphy, Saturday afternoon, and is asking County Prosecutor Oscar Schu mann to issue a warrant to arrest the sheriff on the charge of assault. In the meantime the irate husband of the woman visited the sheriffff's of fice, called him out and bystanders slapped his face. The men struggled until separated by friends. Mrs. Varney, a candidate for the legislature, was recently forced to resign her position through the re quest of Murphy. Prosecutor Schumanii is making an Inquiry into the facts but Is inclined to the belief that they do not Justify prosecution.

Nothing has been permanently or definitely decided, General March made it clear. The tentative plan pro vides, however, that after drafting the 18-year-olds, large numbers will be specially selected for technical train ing at schools and colleges. This does not mean that they will be exempted from military service even temporally, Central March said. "When their time comes they will be called Just as though they had not been selected for speciul training.' Practically all American units that have been brigaded with the French and the British have been withdrawn and placed under command of General Pershing, General Peyton. C. March, chief-of-staff, told members of the sen ate military affairs committee today. While General March did not ad vance any reasons for this move, Jt was regarded as significant by mem bers of the committee and one which may presage important developments.

Dirktor general McAdoo today announced that rentals paid to railroads for the first eight months of the year amounted to approximately $050,000 000; refuting the allegation that the omission of any railroad corporation to settle its debts or claims against it is due to the failure of the government to pay up. "The fact is," says the director gen eral, "that the equivalent of the stand ard rentals already very largely has been paid to every railroad In the United States under government control." In many cases the director general YIELDED GROUND IN BATTLES WITH HUNS LONDON, Sept. 2.

Yergen place at Meridian, about two miles from town, 80 acres of which were sold to Joseph Bonn recently for something over $8000. force under the direction of Marshal Foch General Pershing now has a million trained men capable of being thrown Into battle, General March said. This would indicate that there are now overseas about a half million men whose training has not yet been com pleted. The "pushing back" movement will be continued, In the belief of General March. It is in this kind of fighting that the great American army has been especially trained, ho declared great emphasis having been placed on individual marksmanship and "hand to hand" combats.

S WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 Labor day was observed today throughout the United States. President Wilson, a Labor day message, laid great stress on the part that labor had In the winning of the war, saying in part: "Every tool in every essential in dustry Is a weapon and a weapon wielded for the same purpose that any army rifle is wielded." Director General McAdoo issued an order that railroad employes be per mitted to participate in celebration of the day where essential operations would not be hampered. Director General Schwab, of the Emergency Fleet corporation, in a cablegram to the American troops in France, gave these forces assurance that everything possible was being done by that Industry. President Gompers, of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, now abroad, in a message to the American people pledged the fullest support of organ ized labor to the cause ot the republic. Slackis No Slacker 01dBill Shake O. K. Nothing In a N a m e WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 2. Old Bill Shakespeare was right. There's nothing in a name. All of which Is a prelude to the announcement that while a man may be a Slack, is does not follow that he's a slacker. And as evidence of the fact that a recom mendation list which recently arrived at headquarters of the United States Marin Corps, bears the name of Pres ton Leo Slack, a private in the Mar ine Coma, calllnir attention to his bravery under fire. Slack Is commended for being "not able in his remarkable courage and fidelity to duty as a ltaslon agent In the operations against the enemy in the Bols de Belleau." Private Slack enlisted in the U. S. Marines, May 29, 1917, at Boston, Mass. He is a son of Yilllam P. Slack, of Shedford Center, Vermont. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3. (Special Correspondence.) Without a dissent ing voice, the Senate Military Affulra Committee having a majority ot Its membership composed of Democrats, ,i,w iiir.il un Aukusi 22 that th air craft program had fallen down tn ev ery important partlculuh, and that this deplorauio result Is chiefly due to mis takes In selecting tho men first placed tn charge. It is one more Instance of the evil results that flow from the tendency of this administration to place a premium on Inexperience. Briefly summed up, tha Committee found that a substantial purt of the original aircraft appropriation of $010,- 000.000 had been wasted, we had not at that date a single American-made plane of attack on tho battle front, we bad not a single American-made heavy bombing plane upon the battle front, wo have not developed and put in quantity production a successful fighting plane. "Wo failed at the be ginning of the war." says the report, "to adopt the common-sense course of reproducing the most approved types of European machines In as great numbers as possible This should have been carried on coincident with the production ot the Liberty motor. This sound policy has very recently, bat af ter a lamentable lupso of time, been adopted." It Is not waste of money that meets severest criticism, but waste of lives and the delay of the war with con sequent indirect and continuous waste of life on every battlefront. Inntcud of speeding production of machines known to be scrvtcablo, the adminis tration began experiments as though there were no end of time to get ready, and as though the war were three mil lion miles away Instead of merely three thousand, as Secretary llaker expressed It. Without sufficient tcHts, the Bristol machine was put In quant ity production, only to be condemned and put In storage after 1200 had beon manufactured at a cost of t! 000,000 and the sacrifice of numerous lives. An oral order wns given for the man ufacturing of 3000 Spads, a machine of the highest type, but after work had commenced tho order was cancell ed because It was believed the ma chine could not be operated with a Liberty motor. Later, a new contract was made for tho same machine. We have finally seemed to get satisfactory results from the Do Haviland, but the committee considers that still an experiment. The whole humiliating story shows the inability of the administration to understand the value of experience, and emphasizes to grave mistakes made by the President more than a year ago when he used the lower of his office to defeat the Weeks-Madden measure creating a Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War. That measure was Introduced In both Sen ate and House on April 9, 1917, three duys after America entered the war It proposed a committee composed of the ablest men In both "parties In both Houses of Congress to confer with the executive departments and the President In order to coordinate ory. The powerful opposition of the President prevented any action what ever until July 21, when Senator Weeks offered the provision as an amendment to the Food Control bill. The merits of the proposal wore so generally appreciated In the Senate that after Senator Weeks had accept ed an amendment offered by Senntor Owen, It was adopted by a vote of 53 to 31. The Influence of the Presldont with the Democrats In the House was too great, however, and the provision was eliminated In conference because of their objection. In August, 1918, the Senate Military Affaris Committee exposed mistakes that could have been avoided In Au gust, 1917, but for the persistence of the President in rejoctlng the offer of Congress to give his administration tho direct aid of Its ablest members, In August, 1918, we had sent only 18 American built planes over the Gor man lines, where we, should have had 18,000. But for the delay In our air craft program, German planes would have been driven from the air long ago and our army would be fighting in comparative safety against a blinded foe. DEATH SENTENCES WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. Guaran teed prices for No. 1 northern spring wheat were set by President Wilson today, the prices in all Instances be ing the same ns those fixed for the 1818 crop. The president announced however, that next spring he would appoint a commlsslou of disinterested persons with a view to making any change that may be Justified by the Increase In cost ot labor and farm equipment. The commission will secure -the facts by using the three-year pre war average prices of wheut, of labor and supply cents as a basis, and from this Information the president will deter mine whether there should bo an In crease In price' above the present level, and If so, what advance, lu order to maintain for the f tinner a good re turn. Should it then appear that an lncreaso Is deserved over the present guarantee, however, It will bo applied only to those who have by next har vest already marketed tholr 191S wheat, tho president points out.
