PACIFIC SHIPS RELEASED
CANADIAN FLEKT TO ItliSlillKRINS
TO ORlKBiT,
Britain Orders . VrsMPln Out of Armed
Auxiliary Service and Japanese ;
Villi Have Competition.
ORKGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Nov. 10. (Special.) Under or
ders of the British government, the
Canadian Pacific liners Empress of
Japan. Kmpretss of Russia and Empress
of Asia, - which were requisitioned at
the outbreak of the war and converted
into armed transports, were today re
leased from government control and or
dered to Kongkong, where their guns
will be dismounted and they will again
be put in condition for commercial
trade. As soon as ready, these liners
will resume their former run between
Vancouver and Manila. Yokohama and
Hongkong.
Two interpretations are placed on the
British orders one that Great Britain
ioes not want Japan to get full con
trol of the trans-Pacific trade, as it
prepared to do after the withdrawal of
the Pacific Mail steamers, and the other
is that the end of the war may be in
sight, and the British government has
no further use for these vessels as
naval auxiliaries.
No definite explanation can be ob
tained at the British Embassy.
TEST LAND SUIT BEGUN
Northern Pacific Seeks Ruling on
Areas Included in Reserves.
OREGOXIAN N.EWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Nov 10. The Northern Pacific
Railway Company, by injunction pro
ceedings instituted in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia to
day, hopes to obtain a court ruling
which will determine whether the Gov
ernment, by the cvreation of forest and
other reservations, ci n deplete a land
grant and arbitrarily cut down acreage
which was intended to be granted to
the railroad by Congress.
In this test rise the railroad com
pany seeks to compel the revocation of
an order of the Secretary of the Inter
ior, canceling its selection of a small
tract of land near Spokane, which is
included in the Priest River forest re
serve.. This land lies within the in
demnity limits of the Northern Pacftic
grant, but when the railroad company
filed its indemnity selection, that selec
tion was cancelled, because it was in a
forest reserve.
The Northern Pacific contends it con
not fully satisfy its grant unless per
mitted to select lands which are now
included in forest reserves
Title to about 3,000,000 acres depends
upon the decision.

NEWPORT, R. I., Nov. 6. (Special.)
On landing in New York on mv re
turn from France," said Mrs. Nina
Larray Duryea, "what struck me as
amazing was the sight of men on every
win. arms, tegs and eyes intact.
If happiness is the absence of
then America is happy. Throughout
jr..n;e ecnoes tne tap, tap of crutches.
The lame lead the blind; children guard
men who. a short while acrn wi-n
ting forth in splendid vigor to defend
their country; women, bereft of sup
port, their homes in ashes, are glad
to worn at the 'oeuvres" for 20 cents a
day.
Winter is here and France will be
the theater of the most appalling
struggle of civilization against brute
fyce the world has ever seen. The
norrors or trench life in snow and mud
recommence, when death from expo
sure reaps its harvest as well as do the
obus."
Mrs. Duryea. a New York society
woman, was living in France when
the war began, and she set about at
once tne work of aiding the unfor
tunate refugees and wounded sol
diers. With the aid of nnrmi..
Americans she has assisted 6000 of
these. But she .now comes to America
to appeal for more aid to continue the
work.
At the depot 'Les Isoles," where
each night 600 men sleep on their way
iiom convalescent hospitals before re
turning to the front, they lie on straw
on a factory floor with only their
ponderous kits for pillows. Their uni
forms show mended bullet holes. They
wane atiu wan rrom months in the
hospitals, yet each dawn a detachment
marcnes away singing the Mar
seillaise,' many to die.
"We give them Dines, susnenders
medals of the Virgin, laces, socks and
shirts, and. if you could see their pleas
ure, you would hasten to the '10-cenf
store and send me a case of such
treasures. They cost so little and they
mean so much.
"I need socks, the insides of the heels

they fail to relish their meals and" refuse
to eat even the delicacies prepared to
tempt their appetites. They lack am

To compel them to eat is a oravp
mistake, because nutrition is impaired.
