0. M. CLARK BACK
BRITAIN DEFENDS
MAIL CENSORSHIP
FROM LATIN STATES
; r u - -
South America Eager to Trade
With United States, if
Goods Are Delivered.
SHIPS ARE SERIOUS NEED
Family and Friends of Chamber of
Commerce President Vie Wirti
Keporter for Attention
of Traveler.
"Soutn America. Is ready enough to
trade with us, wants to do so the very
worst way, in fact, but there is one
great 'big obstacle lack of ships. Un
til we get the ships, we can't get the
trade we should get because there is
no way at present to deliver orders
after we receive them."
In between the greetings of his en
thusiastic family, O. M. Clark, president-elect
of the Portland Chamberpot
Commerce, thus summed up the conclu
sions of a tour of nearly three and a
half months through South America as
a student of trade conditions, as he
stepped off a train from the East at
the North Bank Station last night.
Mr. Clark paused long enough to
smack a huge kiss on the lips of a
clamoring youngster.
"yes. they want to trade with us,"
he continued. "They have no place else
to trade. We have the articles they
lied. Why, dc you know "
Another child demanded tribute, and
got it. And then down the station in
mass formation charged more relatives
and f-iends. They engulfed Mr. Clark.
Wife Smiles Reproval.
"This is rather an unsatisfactory
time for an interview." smiled Mr.
Clark's wife. "He has been away since
the latter part of last March."
However, Mr. Clark emerged momen
tarily from the storm. "As I was say
ing," he went on, unruffled, "I could
have come back with, my pockets
stuffed with orders, my valises bulg
ing and my trunk running over with
them.
"But how could I take them? All I
could say was: 'W want to sell you
the machinery and the lumber and the
other things you need, but you will
have to send up your own ships and
get them. We have no ships and we
can't get any.'
"Well, they have no ships either,
and th.:y can't get any. England has
the ships and keeps them all busy on
her own business. We are doing a
larger business now with the South
American states than before the war.
but we are doing only a small part of
the business we could do.
"Moreover," continued Mr. Clark, as
he walked, "we must have ships if we
are to keep the business we have got,
to say nothing of getting a permanent
share of the trade normally done with
Europe. You can have no idea how
hard it is to get transportation be
tween here and South America, and
vice versa.
Credit Not Stumbllng-Bloek.
"Why. it is difficult to get even pas
seger transportation. I had to wait at
La Plata, in Argentina, quite a while
before I could get a passage to New
York, and then I had to take'a British
Heamer bound for Liverpool that went
by way of New York to land passen
gers there.
"Credit is not the stumbling-block
just now in the establishment of strong
trade relations with the South Ameri
can states. Of course, all that must be
adjusted later, for the South Ameri
cans are accustomed to doing business
cn a credit basis, but nobody is quib
bling at present about paying- cash
when that is the only way to obtain
things they must have, and which are
not to be had even then on account of
lack of transportation.
"Well. I have traveled 22,000 miles
since leaving Portland last March."
was Mr. Clark's reply, as the auto gave
vent to warning chugs. "I have visit
ed Peru. Chile. Ecuador. Bolivia. Brazil,
Paraguay and Argentina, and perhaps
a few other places. The people were
not only friendly, but cordial and hos
pitable to the last degree and intense
ly interested in the strengthening of
trade relations with the United States.
"I shall make a full report to the
Chamber of Commerce in a short time."
Mr. Clark went to South America as
a member of an official committee sent
out under the auspices of the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United States
and the Federal Treasury Department.
A report will be marie to Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo.

Willingness to Explain In Detail Is
Asserted Many Complaints Are
Declared Dae to Causes
Not TTnder Control.
LONDON. July 24. The Foreign Of
fice has published the text of the note
handed to the American Ambassador
replying to certain American com
plaints against the British censorship
of mails. The reply is confined to the
few specific allegations made In the
recent American note. It is said that
the formal answer to the general
arguments advanced by the Washing
ton Government is still under consid
eration by the entente allied govern
ments and will receive reply in due
course.
The two principal cases referred to
in the present memorandum are those
of the S. Macniff Horticultural Com
pany, of New York, and the Standard
Underground Cable Company, of Pitts
burg. The Macniff company com
plained of the loss of perishable goods
owing to the detention by the censor
of shipping documents relating thereto.
Special Mall Baa; Provided.
The British government says that as
soon as the matter was brought to its
attention it arranged to have a spe
cial mail bag for shipping papers which
would be Immediately censored, so that
no delay would occur.
In the case of the cable company, it
Is said that the government of the
United States appeared to insinuate
that the delay in the mail of the cable
company was directly connected with
the fact "that a British competitor had
obtained a contract for which that
company had been tendering."
"His Majesty's government," the
note continues, "is astonished that
such an insinuation should be made,
especially at the complaint from the
cable company which appeared not to
have been seriously damaged.
Charge Declared Not Proven.
The memorandum goes on to sbow
n considerable detail that tenders for
contracts must have passed between
the United States and Norway on a
date prior to that upon which the cen
sorship of Scandinavian mails began.
After detailing other cases, .the note
continues:
"The specific complaints do not sup
port the general charge against the ef
ficiency of the British censorship. His
Majesty's government will always be
ready to explain In detail the working
of the censorship, as there is nothing
regarding it which they wish to con
ceal. Many complaints when examined
proved to arise from badly directed
letters, the Irregular sailing of neutral
mail boats, and other causes entirely
outside the control of His Majesty's
government, and are often due to the
action of enemies."
Majestic.
"A Matrimonial Martyr" is another
one of those magnificent hand-colored
Pathe productions which made their
debut with the screening of "The Be
loved Vagabond." However, this Ma
jestic Theater offering, while an al
luring drama because of its appeal to
lovers of nature. Is rich in unique situ
ations, has a story which entertains
and amuses, and also a star. Ruth Ro
land, who possesses magnetic quali
ties. Miss Roland plays a dual part in this
play, which gives an opportunity for
some clever double photography, lend
ing special conviction to scenes where
she appears in conflict with herself.
She first us presented as Erma Des
mond, a happy young country girl. She
goes to the city to visit a friend. Phyl
lis, and later, to earn a living, be
comes companion to Mrs. Stanley, a so
ciety woman. Miss Roland also plays
the role of Mrs. Stanley, a harsh vola
tile virago, who forces her husband to
leave home.
Mrs. Stanley decides to go to Reno to
get a divorce, leaving Miss Desmond
to Impersonate her. The sweet dis
position of the new mistress mystifies
the servants and when Phyllis arrives
at the same time as a friend of Mrs.
Stanley's there is considerable con
fusion a to her real identity.
Stanley returns and falls in love with
his wife, a feeling that Erma recipro
cates. The girl's uncle dies, leaving
her a small fortune, and Erma is forced
to introduce Phyllis as Miss Desmond.
Things are hopelessly complicated until
word arrives from Reno that Mrs. Stan
ley has secured a divorce. Then every
thing is quickly straightened out.
A Vim comedy, "The Connecting
Bath," with Harry Meyers and Rose

form the photodramatic offering at
the T. &-D. Theater for the week. Gail
Kane. Billle Burke. Carlyle Blackwell,
and Muriel Ostricho are the quartet
of stars in the three productions.
The bill is a particularly well-bal
anced one. for while "Paying the PTlce"
is a decidedly strong drama, involving
a woman who discovers that she has
married the wrong man. "Sally in Our
Alley." which smacks of the old-time
song of that name, is a light and fan
tastic story, presenting entertainment
wWch will appeal particularly, to chil
dren. Billie Burke a detective anctics
in "The Fugitive Witness" are both
interesting and entertaining, and at
the end the many who are following
"Gloria's Romance" are delighted to
learn that Gloria at last has discov
ered that her dead lover, whom she
believes is the epitome of manly vir
tues, .is not the hero of her escapade
with the Seminole Indians in Florida.
"Paying the Price" is a story of army
and navy life, with a torpedo boat and
torpedoes forming interesting material
for a tale whicn excites.
"Sally in Our Alley" is wholesome
and pleasantly romantic. Murial Os
triche is a winsome Sally McGill. while
Blackwell is his usual self In the role
of Prince Charming of the photoplay.
The storv of the girl of the slums who
finally escapes the obvious lot of her
people through a marriage with a so-
ciety man. is an excellent foil for
"Paying the Price."
Heilig.
Grandma had money, but she was
blessed with such a sweet disposition
that ehe couldn't help letting her old
maidish daughter rule the roost and
think she was the millionaire. That's
the story that is told at the Heilig in
"A Night Out" starring May Robson.
The farce is wholly laughable and keen
but there is enough real story and plot
to keep the interest a high pitch and
that's why "A Night Out" will probably
be classed as one of the most success
ful comedy films that has been shown
in Portland during the past year.
The story runs that after a rigid
life with a stem husband. Grandmum
decides to be a butterfly. She adores
her handsome grandsons and joins
them in their many exploits. But the
prim daughter objects to any worldly
pleasure for her mother and her sons.
There's a romance of the sons and
two dashing and attractive sisters in
terwoven. The deacon Js a quaint
character who as president of the pur
ity league accepts bribes from the
keeper of a notorious tavern.
A lot of funny things happen in
the tavern and somehow they finally
convince the deacon that, grandmother
had the money all the time, so he with
draws his proposal to the widow and
is rejected by grandmother. The lively
climax comes after a wild "Night Out"
and the ending is a happy farce.

MORTALITY" AS THEME.

Influence ef Each Individual
Will Rave on Ftitare.
"The Immortality of this world." that
Is, the influence which each individual
will have upon the future, was em
phasized by Rev. F. G. Davles. pastor
of the Grace Baptist Church, of Spo
kane, Wash.. In his address delivered
at the White Temple yesterday morning.
"Let us so live," said the minister,
"that we will not curse, but rather
bless the future."
Dr. Davies mentioned some of-the
great names in history, showing how
they still live in the spirit of the pres
ent and wield an influence even
greater than those now living;.
"Who speaks to -America today?" he
asked. "You say Roosevelt, Wilson.
But if you want to get the highest,
truest American spirit it is rather
Washington. Lincoln. e listen to the
dead."
Dr. Davles declared that Queen Eliz
abeth still wields a scepter in England
and that Gladstone still gets hold of
the heart of the British. He also em
phasized the Influence of Blsmark on
the German people, of Mohammed upon
his followers, and of Christ.
Dr. Davies also argued for the Im
mortality of man from the standpoint
of reality as well as memory. As
proof of this he emphasized the belief
in immortality which has been held by
all races of men in all times.
"Would God make man with this be
lief in the future life, and this ability
to enjoy it, and then dash his hopes?"
he asked.
