8 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, APR Hi 21, 1917. OREGON QUOTA FOR M IS EXCEEDED Commander Blackburn Enlists 810, Instead of 800 Re quired in 20 Days. 500 MORE MEN PROMISED RECRUIT WHO COMPLETES OREGON'S QUOTA IS NAVY'S CAMPAIGN. Campaign to Be Extended to May 5, When Recruiting Officer Ex pects to Have Another Big Force to Man Ships. When Charles E. Blakely. of Prlne ville. Or, took the oath of enlistment at 2:30 o'clock yesterday and was for mally sworn Into the united states i service as a hospital apprentice, sec ond class, by Lieutenant-Commander John. H. Blackburn, U. 3. N.. he made the 800th man to be enlisted in Port land for the Navy since April 1. Thereby Lieutenant - Commander Blackburn fulfilled orders received from the Navy Department last month to enlist 800 men. in the 20 days end ing April 20. For good measure. Commander Black burn made it 810. That was the grand total at 6 o'clock last night, when the rush of recruits for the day was over. Forty men were enlisted for the day. Portland Alone Meets Demand. Portland is the only Navy recruiting station in the whole United States that has filled the quota of men asked by the Navy Department in the time limit set. But the Navy needs more men and still more men, so recruiting here will not abate one whit. Rather, it will pro ceed with increased energy. No young man who hasn't already enlisted need fear that he has applied too late. The Navy recruiting station will continue to be open here for many months to come, and the demand for men will be continually greater. When reports from various recruit ing stations through the country made It plain, a few days ago, that the quota could not be obtained by April 20, the Navy Department sent Lieutenant-Commander Blackburn a telegram announcing an extension of 15 days in the time limit. In which he was to get 800 men. The telegram gave him to Hay 5 instead of to April 20 to enlist them. Five Hundred More Promised. Lieutenant - Commander Blackburn telegraphed back to this effect: "Oregon needs no extension. Oregon can and will make the allotted quota within the time limit. But if you ex tend the period until May 6 I can promise you 500 more men." So now, having enlisted 800 men within the first time limit of only 20 days, the enterprising recruiting offi - cer has taken upon himself the task of enlisting 600 more by May 5. Thp ramoalsrn for the 500 additional men for the Navy begins today. It is going to take work and lots and lots of it to make good in this new recruit ing drive, but Commander Blackburn is confident that the patriotic ' young men of Oregon and Southwestern Washington and Idaho, comprised within his recruiting district, will - respond to this second call just as they did to the first one. Army's Total la 843. The Navy is In great need of recruits now, for some of its ships can- I not be used because there are not j enough trained men in the service to man them. . Congress is expected any - day. to pass a bill that will virtually double the enlisted strength of the Navy and this will require a further drive for men. At the regular Army recruiting headquarters in the Worcester building yesterday 44 men were enlisted, which was considered a mighty good showing for Friday, when enlistments are usual ly lightest, ulany men do not like to enlist on a Friday, or on the 13th of the month. The quota of the Portland Army recruiting office in ordinary times is only 808 men for an entire year. The Portland station has enlisted more men . than that in only 20 days this month. The total yesterday night was 843 recruits since April 1. ROAD CONTRACTS ARE LET 17I,;"'",7 I ''-" in--1 i 'T'"""1 "" ""tr ' 7ammmmmm'm'l' ' .TT"""""""' ..

On CHEHAL1S, Wash., April 20. (Spe cial.) Contracts aggregating $45,417 for building about three miles and three-quarters of cement roads in this county were let by the County Com- Zissioners today. One and three-quarters miles of 16 foot road will extend east from the present terminus near Forest on the Pacific Highway and will cost $23,517. One mile of 8-foot road in the Klaber district will be an extension of two miles already built there, and will cost $8500. One mile of road north of Centralia went to Hendricks & Ward, of Cen tralia, for $13,400. Cement and sand will be furnished by the county at cost. The announcement from Washington that for the present no more commis sions will be granted In the Officers' Reserve Corps until after the training camps is not to be taken as meaning that the Government does not need any more applicants for commissions. This was emphasized yesterday by, Captain Sherman Miles. United States Army, who is detailed In Portland as president of the exartlnlng board for reserve officers in this district. Quite to the contrary, many more ap plicants are desired. The War Depart ment order simply means that for the present, instead of being commissioned, these applicants who pass the necessary examinations will be recommended for the Reserve Officers' training camp, to be held for three months at the Pre sidio, San Francisco, Cal., beginning May 8. Pledge Is Required. Those admitted to the training camp will be required to pledge' that if their work is satisfactory they will accept whatever commission may be offered by the Secretary of War. They do not pledge that they will enlist as privates if they are not accepted after the final examinations. Those applicants who are now taking examinations, and other applicants who have not yet been commissioned, will be notified by the War Department If their qualifications are satisfactory. They will be expected to present them selves at the Presidio for the training camp between May 1 and May 8. "Twenty-five hundred qualified young men are wanted by the War Depart ment to take the training at the Pre sidio camp," said Captain Miles. "The only pledge required of them Is that they will accept any commission offered them by the Secretary of War after they have completed their training. Time for Applications Limited. "I wish especially to emphasize that the period for applications for reserve this afternoon on members of the board of directors of the association. The litigation follows a recent de mand made on the association for a surplus distribution by about 15 grow ers who canceled their contracts and severed their membership with the sales agency prior to March 20 of this year. While tha association denied the de mands on the grolund that rights to a portion of the surplus had been for feited when membership ceased, the orchardists who had severed their con nections with the shipping agency con tend that they are equitably entitled to an accounting in proportion to the as sessments made on tonnage furnished by them to the association. According to the complaint of the plaintiff company, of which H. F. Da vidson, who. for the past two years has been New York and export representa tive of the association, is president, a portion of the surplus fund is to be used in the purchase of the- old Hood River Apple Growers Union proper ties. The court is asked to restrain the association directors from a purchase contract, which it Is alleged would Impair the rights o the plaintiff In sharing in the surplus fund. The com plaint alleges tbat the surplus propor tion of the plaintiff company will reach a sum of approximately $1000.. THIS IS UKRAINIAN DAY CONTRIBUTIONS TO BE RAISED TO RELIEVE WAR StFFERERS.

Portland Committee Points Ont That People Have Been Victims of Both Armies FtghtlnK on Their Lasd. This is Ukrainian day, set aside as such by proclamation of President Wilson, that special efforts might be made to raise funds for the assistance of Ukrainian war sufferers. All over the United States the Ukrainian Alliance of America will exert special activities to obtain money for the relief of their countrymen across the sea. The Portland organization, headed by Michael Farley. 77 East Tarry street, president, and H. L. Peleck, 101 Monroe Btreet, secretary, will do Its part, and subscription lists will be cir culated in the city today. Portland citizens will in that way get an oppor tunity to do their part In the general relief movement. Mr. Peleck announced last night that anyone wishing to con tribute to the cause might communi cate with him on the telephone at Woodlawn 5161. Of the need of the Ukrainians an an nouncement Issued by the Ukrainian Alliance of America says: "Probably no section In all war GRANTS PASS, Or., April 20. (Spe cial.) Joseph Wheaton is a youthful patriot who walked more than 100 miles to enlist in Unci Sam's Army Joe, who. Is not yet 17 years of age, was at Gold Beach, at the mouth of Rogue Rlver, when war was declared against Germany. He had been left an orphan when but a few years old and had been buffeted about for the past ten years. Learning that there-was & recruiting station at Grants Pass, the boy started out on foot to reach this city, coming by way of Crescent City, Cal. At 3 o'clock Wednesday morning Joe stag gered into Patrick's Creek stage sta tlon, nearly famished but still patriotic. He was cared for there got a lift next day into Grants Pass, without a cent and his clothes in rags. He first went to the recruiting office and was sorely disappointed when Cor poral Broderlck told him he could not enlist without the consent of parents or guardian. Joe had neither, and in his distress he hunted up the count officials to find out what he could do. Sheriff Lewis took the lad home with him for the night and next morning the employes about the Courthouse ax hlblted lively interest in Joe's ambition. They helped him secure clean clothing, a bath and a haircut, and Judge Gillette appinted County Clerk Eugene Coburn the legal guardian for the would-be soldier. Then, well fed and with the marks of travel over the mountains washed away, Joe appeared at the recruiting office again, this time accompanied by his legal guardian. Mr. Corburn gave his consent to the enlistment and yes terday Private Joseph .Wheaton, United States Infantry, left for Portland for his uniform and musket. stricken Europe has undergone so ter officers is not closed.

The report waa made to the Mayor by the peace com mittee in person. Mayor Albee last month forced the Chinese tongs to sign a 30 days' peace pact and gave them notice that they must sign up for permanent peace be ef ore the end of the 80 days. That the permanent peace pact will be signed within the 30 days was the statement of the committee yesterday. many more. Haste is essential, how ever, as the training camp begins next month." Captain Miles said that to save time It will be much better if applicants in this district living outside of Portland, instead of writing to him for. informa tion, will present themselves at. once at his office, 507 Worcester building. They should bring with them at least three letters of recommendation as to their ability and good moral character, but can make out their application blank after presenting themselves at Captain Miles' office. ' He will Immediately set a date for them to take the examination. In most cases this will be the next day or sec ond day after they have made their applications, so there will be no tire some waits. Captain W. H. Currier, Coast Artillery Corps, stationed at Vancouver Barracks, who was president of the examining board; has been relieved of that strenu ous duty by Captain Miles, with head quarters in Portland. So applicants shoald present themselves to Captain Miles and not go to Vancouver Bar racks. NAVAL TENDERS WANTED Places Will Be Kept Open for Any Who Enroll Chamber of Com merce Appeal for Use of Stu dents on Farms Referred. The School Board yesterday voted to restore to all teachers, men and women. who enroll In any branch of the Fed eral military or Red Cross service their positions at their conclusion of the service to the country and at the same time came face to face with the fact that the Portland public schools are rapidly losing their men teachers. Two more resignations from men teachers were turned in by Superin tendent Alderman, and he called the Board's attention to the fact that low salaries and the attractions of other lines of business were taking the men teachers much faster than new men teachers w-ere being enrolled. The sit uatlon is viewed with considerable alarm. In caring for the teachers who enlist either in the Army or Navy or the Red Cross service, the Board decided to grant leaves of absence to all who ask it and to' restore their positions imme dlately on their return from the serv ice. A communication recommending that sucn action be taken was presented signed Dy Jessie D. McGregor, presi dent of the Grade Teachers' Associa tlon: George H.

Little and a rleles-nHnr, representing the Oregon Federation of Medical Freedom Clubs, came before me Hoard in an effort to secure free dom from medical Inspection for chil dren whose parents object to such in spection. Requests of approximately 100 parents that their ehildren be ex empt from this Inspection were filed with the Board. Members of the Board exnlalned that they had no jurisdiction in the matter. as it was the city authorities which had put in the law requiring medical in spection, and it was to those same authorities that protests should be made. Mrs. Little Raps Board. Mrs. Little expressed the belief that the Board could obtain -the power to prevent such inspection if it would only assert itself. We will eventually get a School Board that will insist on conducting the schools and to which we can con fide our children." she said. Mrs. Little said that she and those she represented refused to have any thing to do with the Health Board. George L Brooks also protested against the system which required a student to procure a permit to return to school after having been out on ac count of illness or for .some other reason. Representatives of the Irvington Community Park Club, led by Joseph R. Gerber, presldentappeared before the Board in an effort to get some action for enlarging the Kennedy School. Mr. Gerber asked an Investigation and the matter was referred to the committee on schools and grounds. The Board indorsed the plan for em ploying three domestic science teach ers to conduct lessons in canning and drying during the last two weeks of July and all of August of this year. The plan is to give lessons to house wives of the city wno care to attend classes. Play Shed Is Approved. Action was taken approving the con struction of a play shed at the Hud son School.

The club took issue with the move ment to have children stop school and go on farms and onto gardens to work. It Mas not occurred to the Chamber f Commerce," said Mrs. Trumbull, that the food problem would be solved readily by throwing open the great torage plants that are robbing the people. We must get over the idea of commercializing the children. Those who leave high school now will never return and it is not Just that we put the burden of the war upon our chll- ren. 'Let us point out that our children are our biggest asset. We must profit by the example of England, who, after two years, is forced to admit that the cutting down on educational appropria tlon for the war was a mistake and that has now 40 per cent more delln- uent children. In Budapest there are now 3000 registered munition workers in the factories under 12 years of age. Let us consider our children. Women Urged to Farm. Rather than force our children to bear this great war burden, let tne idle -vomen get out and do their share, cease their study clubs and little musical societies for a'time and devote that time to tilling the soil, planting and really grapple with the food situa tion. It will help Immensely and may spare the little children." The club went on record also as ais- couraging any additional night work and longer hours for women.
