TWO DOOMED SILLS
Economy Will Kill Ship Subsidy
and Good faoads.
NO MONEY TO GIVE THEM
Hostile Sentiment Will Be Aided by
Necessity Against Ship Subsidies.
Good Roads Sentiment
Is Growing.
OREGONIAN ,NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, Aug. 15. The intense desire of
the Republican leaders in Congress to
hold down appropriations at the com
ing' session is sure to defeat two pieces
of Important and much discussed leg
islation the ship subsidy bill and a
bill making appropriation for Federal
construction of good roads.
In carrying out their economy plan,
the Republican .loaders will shut off
all but "necessary" legislation.
Kelthor ship subsidy nor good roads
are classed as necessary legislation at
this time. Of course, other things will
operate to prevent the passage of
these two bills, and it is more than
likely that both would be sidetracked,
even if there were no deficit in the
Federal Treasury. But the condition
of the National strong box gives the
opposition the very excuse It needs to
stave off action, and it -will be used to
good effect.
Xo Money for Ship Subsidies.
As far as the ship subsidy bill is con
cerned, it scorns to be farther from
passage than it was two years ago.
No progress could be made with that
bill in the last Congress; so strong
was the sentiment against it that its
friends did not seriously attempt to
force its passage. It was allowed to
die in committee. How the new Con
gress, particularly the new House, will
stand on this question remains to be
developed, but as far as the coming
session is concerned. It makes no dif
ference how the House regards the
proposition: It cannot pass because of
the opposition of the leaders who will
not consent to depleting the Treasury
of many millions to aid shipbuilding
when there Is already a large deficit
to be overcome.
The time may ultimately come when
Congress will pass some form of good
roads bill. That form of legislation
has never been thoroughly discussed
In the Senate or House; no serious or
systematic effort has ever been made
in. ims ever ut-xn iua.ua
of thatv nurport. But
tving sentlnipot in favor
to pass a bill
more is a grow
of such legislation.
"Whenever the subject has bet: men
tioned, objection has Tieen raised tv the
appropriation of Federal funds for this,
object. It has been asserted that good
roads should be built by taxation,
which is to say, by the use of state or
county money. But to this argument
reply is made that Congress has for
years beon,approprlatlng millions upon
millions of dollars for Improving riv
ers and harbors In the Interost of nav
igation, and It Is asserted that it Is
just as proper to build good roads for
the benefit of the farmer as it Is to
improve the waterways of commerce.
Good Roads Bill Some Bay.
Some day this question is going to
spring into prominence: it will become
the leading issue before Congress, and
there will be a battle royal. And it is
more than likely that such a fight will
end in the enactment of some form of
good roads law which will benefit all
the. states of the Union, and perhaps
Insure the expenditure of from $15,000,
000 to $80,000,000 a year on this work.
But that time is not yet; the good
roads fight will not come In the Fifty
ninth Congress; it will" have to be post
poned until the Treasury is better able
to stand the drain. "
Meanwhile tho committees of the
Senate and House are giving consider
able attention to this new problem;
are at work trying to devise the most
practicable and the most equitable
manner of distributing funds for road
construction, though no conolusion has
yet .been reached. Bj' the time Con
gress is ready to seriously deal with
the problem the two committees will
have something tangible to present.
WITH THE FRENCH ARMY
SCENES DURING THE RECENT
WAR SCARE IN PARIS.
Size and Quality of tho Troops An
Organization for Fighting,
Not Parade.
New York Evening Post.
Down the broad boulevard an unusual
sight and sound advance in the red sun
set. There is a military band at the head
of some Infantry regiments; the flag is
proudly displayed; the General and staff
are riding properly in their places.
The soldiers are sunburned and dusty,
but they step off blithely in the Paris
air. All through this war scare they have
been doing the maneuvers at the camp of
Chalons in the east, along with other regi
ments, and now the special railway trains
have brought them back to barracks.
They march conscious of the patriotic eyes
devouring them.
There is silence as the flag passes, but
there is not a Frenchman in the crowd
who does not salute. No outcry is needed.
thero is an electric feeling in the air
that France has pulled herself together.
Perhaps It was for this that the regi
ments had orders to march down the
thronging boulevard, which Emperor
T 1111am has never been allowed to see.
The drums play their part noisily in the
march. There are 25.O00- drums In the
French army, and it has just been decided
that they must go. This has happened
before, and another government may bring
them back. But now It is so many more
soldiers to handle the guns. ""Bettor
the drums than the Lcbel rifles!" grunr
bles General Faure-BIguet, who Is a vet
eran and sentimental. The crowd, still
wondering whether Germany means to
force a war on France, dlscussos this
exea question or the drums. Their dace.
In battle or out of battle. Is now to be
taken by bugles keeping the time of the
march, sounding the charge.
No one really doubts that France will
keep on spinning giddily down the grooves
of change: and Germany, with all her
booming from the sudden bass drums of
her diplomacy, will sooner or later fol
low after. Bedel has said it to Buelow
"Henceforward the workmen will have
something to say to your wars, sir!'
Jaures. whose patriotism has been sus
pected and compared not to his advantage
with the readiness of German Socialists
to fight, now cries: "I never said more
than that!"
An American, evidently a newcomer In
ParJB, stands up on a chair In front of the
cafe and scans critically the soldiers as
they pass. "Runts!" he says, "and what
clothes!" No one understands or takes
notice that he doos not salute the flag.
The Parisian crowd is used to forejgners,
and Roosevelt is as popular as Emperor
"William Is svrprising. No one would
dream that a citizen of the United States
could deride the army of tho sister repub
lic. The American is cocksure and wrong.
These French soldiers are not picked men
for the mllltla rferade .of some Philadel
phia crack regiment- They arc simply
the whole mass of young Frenchmen
good, bad and Indifferent from the
twenty-first year to their twenty-third,
whoever is ablebodied enough to stand
the military service enforced alike on all.
Since the law of li&L there has been no
limit of height for a soldier; up or down,
dwarf or giant, all must serve. Before
that time the limit was only Ave feet one
Inch. With all these efforts to- scoop
every healthy citizen Into the army, the
average height has not yet run down -to
that of Napoleon's Grand Arraee In itsN
last years; and not so long ago It was
above that of the German army meas
ured as a whole.
As to their soldior clothes, French uni
forms have' only three sizes, and the old
hand who gives them out carries his tape
moasure In his eye. The result Is ob
viously not agreeable to Filcs-on-Parade:
but an American song, when fighting was
on. told of the regular army man doing
the work and was not enthusiastic over
the tailor-made soldier. French infantry
men have, however, ventured to complain
of one thing In view of this sudden war
alarm. Shoes in three sizes, fitted by eye,
do give sore feet for the first day's
marches. What If the reserve had had to
be mobilized in new shoes?
On the square by and large, it Is hard
ly fair to make these snap Judgments be
tween memories of spick-and-span pa
rades at home and this universal, rough-and-tumble
working army in France. As
to the average height of the soldiers, the
question really touches the race. And it
Is certain that, with the long periods of
peace and the spread of comfortable liv
ing, the French people were never so tall
as now. not even In their brightest days
of military glory. It is true that armies
were then either enlisted or the choice of
a limited comcrlptlon. Under the second
empire, out of 310,009 young men coming
of age each year, only 72,(00 not one In
four were taken for the five years mili
tary service. From 1836. whon the low
ering Influence of Napoleon's wars had
ceased to operate on the new generations,
thero was a steady rise In the avorage
height of Frenchmen; and the war with
Germany in 1B70 was not enough to stay
this vital movement.
There Is another reason why the
French stature Is working up, and it is
hardly due to changes which the univer
sal military service helps to bring about.
If you take the French provinces, as their
different faces had'lnhaWted them for a
thousand years, there were, broadly
speaking, three zones: that of Normans
and Franks, mainly to the north and
east with tall men and women; that of
the Llgurians and Gascons, medium-sized;
arid the Celts, short, often diminutive,
but the hardiest of all. Nowadays the
sons and daughters of all these come up
to the cities only too easily. As soldiers
the young men make acquaintance with
parts of France the farthest removed
from their own. Many of them stay la
cities, and many, with a constant inter
mingling of races, so that soon all
Frenchmen will be nearly as much alike
as ail Englishmen, and more so than
Americans.
Pew "Women Own Race Horses.
New York Press.
Despite the brave start made by Mrs.
Herman B. Duryea and Mrs. Harry
Payne "Whitney In the way of a racing
stable at the Saratoga track, thero
seems little probability of fashionable
women in this country taking up tho
sport, except for the fancy of the mo
ment. Although at the time the two
young matrons combined to form a
firm name of "Mr. Roslyn" three years
ago, it was said they were in the busi
ness of keeping a racing stable, and
that other prominent women would be
encouraged to take an active Interest
also, nothing came of It. Maybe Mr.
Duryea and Mr. Whitney had some
thing to say about that. Still, the sta
ble of "Mr. Roslyn" was probably tho
most successful of any In the history
of the turf, it never having been,
beaten. The stable consisted of one
horse, which started once, and won.
Of the other women who became prom
inent in the racing world If even for
day "Mr, Jersey," or Lily Langtry,
made her stable known through her
own fame. On the other hand,, prob
ably no ono outside of Chlllicothe, O.,
woud have heard of modest little Miss
Brosman had not she owned Imp, one
of the most famous racehorses of re
cent years. So the Saratoga and East
ern racing season probably will como
and go with the women in the grand
stand and not In the paddock, and with
no repetition of the social flutter once
caused by the "Mr. Roslyn" firm.
A Hotbed for Chickens.
Country Life in America
Last year I raised 500 chickens, hatching
them with hens, taking them away from
the hens and brooding them in an aban
doned hotbed. Did you ever hear of mak
ing a brooder of a hotbed? No? Neither
did I until I tried it last Spring, and I can
truly say that I never raised finer chick
ens than those which passed their early
life in the famous hotbed. I say "fa
mous, for people came from all around
to see it. Thoy came to laugh, but they
remained to say, "Well, I never!"

the anticipated statement was not given
out, and probably none will be. The For
eign Office maintained complete reserve
regarding the proceedings at Portsmouth
and, it is expected. Judged that, while
Russia would be glad to accord a great
measure of publicity to the results of the
deliberations and even dcslros to do so.
Japan's attitude on this point necessitates
the avoidance of any statement or com
ment regarding the organization. To this
end, all the news relating to the Ports
mouth conference has been conveyed to
the Russian public through the medium
of press dispatches.
The Idea Is advanced by several of tho
embassies that an outlot may possibly be
found in a compromise on the two main
points of dispute, If Japan is willing to
give up Sakhalin and receive from Rus
sia, not a general war Indemnity but
payment for any rights that may bo ac
quired by virtue of occupation by the
Japanese troops.
DRAFTING TREATY AS THEY GO
Envoys Make Progress and Wlttc
Decides for Himself.
PORTSMOUTH. N. H., Aug. 15. The
peace conference began two minutes be
fore 10 o'clock. The plenipotentiaries
went to the navy-yard in their motor
cars, but the trip was somewhat plow on
account of drizzling rain, which made the
roads muddy. Ten minute? after their ar
rival at the naval storoo building the ne
gotiators had taken their places in the
conference room and work began.
When the plenipotentiaries again faced
each other this morning the first business
before taking up article 4 was the read
ing and signing of the protocol of yes
terday'p proceedings. Including the draft
of the three articles agreed upon and the
minutes of the discussion. The Associated
Press is now able to state authoritatively
from both sides that the 12 "articles"
now before them constitute the basis of
a prospective "treaty of Washington."
But as tho wording Is subject to revision,
it does not as accepted necessarily estab
lish the final text.
There is what is, regarded as absolute
warrant for the statement that Mr. WItte
is not referring the questions regarding
the various articles to St. Petersburg or
Peterhof. All that has been done thus far
has been in pursuance of his own decis
ions, although he is advising his sovereign
post facto of what is done. But as to
the two main proposition if the time
should ever arrive when, in his judgment,
concessions should be made upon either,
it can be regarded as reasonable that he
would consult the Emperor before com
mitting himself.
In his interviews with the Emperor be
fore he left St. Petersburg he learned and
shared the views- of the ruler that
peace was impossible for Russia upon the
baste of indemnity or cession of territory.
and In all his private and public utter
ances he continues to hold an absolutely
uncompromising attitude upon those
points.
All indications from the Japanese
side show also that Baron Komura Is
equally firm, and that the payment of the
cost of the war and cession of Sakhalin
are conditions sine qua non. When Baron
Komura ascertained from Mr. Wltte's
reply the Russian nonpossumus T3pon
xnese articles, he decided to begin the
consideration of articles seriatim. In order
to have time to communicate with his
government and secure its final word.
Tho suggestion from Vienna of a pos
sible compromise on the question of Sak
halin on the basts of condominium looks
attractive, but It Is hardly regarded as a
practical solution, as a condominium
would almost lnevltaWr lead to trouble.
A little .more than half a century aro
it might be said that condominium al
most existed on the island, the Rus
sians holding the northern and the Jap
anese the southern half, the limitations
or tneir respective Jurisdiction being de-
nnea, out it was an unllvabte condition
and led to the exchange of tho Japanese
dominion or baxballn for the cession of
the Kuriles.

HARD WORK FOR THE ENVOYS
Busy Day and Night and Sending
Many Cablegrams.
PORTSMOUTH. Aug. 15. That mak
ing peace is a strenuous life is illus
trated by the daily programme of work
of the peace envoys and their suites.
Eight sessions of the conference have
been held since the arrival of the mis
sions at Portsmouth, one week ago.
and all but one of these has been long
as to. hours. Outside these sessions
everyone connected with the work has
continuous and taxing occupation, with
but few hours for rest and practically
none ror recreation.
The envoys have breakfast before 3
o'clock; they are In the Navy-yard be
fore 10. and. with the exception of a
brief space for luncheon, served in the
conference building, they stay In ses
sion until evening. After this a dinner
is served at the hotel, and the work of
the evening and night begins.
Last night for M. WItte and Baron
Rosen thero was an outside duty, and
one of almost as great importances as
the peace between Russia and Japan,
namely, the consideration of the ques
tion "of the amelioration tjf iho condi
tion of the Jews in Russia with a del
egation of eminent Hebrews. During
this time the Japanese emissaries were
busily engaged in their quarters m
bringing their records to date in the
preparation of cablegrams and In get
ting ready for the next day.
An idea of the volume of cables
which are dally sent to Europe and
the Far East may be had from the
.statement that on Sunday the cable
department handled $1000 of business,
including dispatches from both the
Russian and Japanese peacemakers
from its headquarters here. Both sides
are keen in the matter of their facilities
for communication. The heavy tare on
the local telephone wires maie it Im
possible for them to get quick service
between the hotel and their confer
ence rooms in the Navy-yard, and com
plaint was made, with the result that
Secretary Pelrce had two direct tele
phone systems Installed between those
points, one for the Russian and one
for the Japanese.
The exclusive use of the Navy-yard,
so far as civilians aro concerned, is
still possessed absolutely by the
members of the peace commission. Yes
terday, in addition to the regular
guard of marines, which from the first
was placed over the naval stores build
ing, a detail of Secret Service men was
added. They surrounded tho building
and kept constant watch throughout
the session.
MONEY . FOR PEACE, NOT AVAR
Jewish Bankers Willing to Help Rus
sia on Conditions.
PORTSMOUTH. -N. ,H., Aug. 15.
The Hebrew delegation, headed by
Jacob H. Schlff. of New York, left tho
Hotel Wcntworth today, saying there
would b a subsequent interview with
M. WItte. They believe tho result of
their talk with M. WItte. and the Inter
view .which Is still to come, cannot but
provo beneficial to their coreligionists
in Russia. They continue to deny most
emphatically that the question of a
loan to Russia was discussed with M.
WItte. Nevertheless, one of them said
to tne Associated Press that he bad no
doubt. If Russia so desired, Jewish
bankers would be glad to loan the
money to Russia if the Jews in Russia
were placed on an equal footing with
other inhabitants of the country. The
representative of another great bank
ing house (not Jewish) said:
"Russia can obtain in America all
tho money she wants to make peace,
but none to make war. Our position I.
the same as that of tho Paris bankers."

GREAT ORGAN
TO BE HEARD
The West's Greatest Pipe
Organ to Be Presented
to the Public.
By a happy coincidence the great Kim
ball pipe organ Installed in beautiful new
Trinity Church is completed just in time
to give the people of Portland an oppor
tunity of hearing It under the'most favor
able circumstances. Mr. Clarence Eddy,
tho world's greatest organist, who Is at
E resent touring the Pacific Coast, has
een secured for the very nrst concert
given upon this magnificent Instrument.
Portland boasts of a number of unusually
line pipe organs, but the drowning
achievement In this kind of Instrument
has unquestionably been reached In the
one In Trinity, which will be heard for
tho first time under the magic hand of
Mr. Eddy.
Mr. Eddy brings with him a soloist of
rare attainments in the person of Mrs.
Grace Morel Dlckmrfn. who before her
engagement as contralto soloist at Rut
ger's Church. New York, was a well
known singer In California. A limited
number of seats for both recitals are
now on sale at Ellers Piano House. The
J. K. Gill Company and Woodard. Clarke
& Co. Price 51 ($1.25 for reserved seats).
Brain
WorKers.
Brain workers suffer from
headache because they over-tax
ancf exhaust the brain nerves.
Tired, irritated, turbulent
brain nerves throb and ache;
this weakens the brain power,
and robs the memory.
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
bring tranquility to the ex
cited nerves and stop the pain.
If not relieved, this nerve
disturbance is frequently ex
tended to the stomach, causing
nausea, vomiting sick head
ache. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
are convenient to take just a
little tablet, that in a few mo
ments relieves the pain; they
leave no disagreeable after
effects, as they contain no
opium, morphine, cocaine or
chloral in any form.
"From personal experience I can
testify that Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
are a most excellent remedy for head
ache and neuralgia. I have been a
great sufferer from both diseases for
the past three years. A friend who
had also suffered from neuralgia
handed me some of the Anti-Pain
Pills. I took them and they gave me
almost Instant relief. Since then I
have a package at home, and another
at the office, and thev never fall to
relieve me." R. V. MEGART.

the medicine and noted a decided im
provement after taking Swamp-Root only
a short time.
I continued Its use and am thankful to
say that I am' entirely cured and strong.
In order to be very sure about this. I had
a doctor examine some of my water to
day and he prononnced it all right and
In splendid condition. '

plete recovery and recommending Swamp
