TIIE MORNING OHEGONIAN, 3IOXDAT, APKIL 23, 1917. 5 FORMER OPPONENTS 1 Moose and Republican Lead ers Take Stand for Univer sal Military .Training. WAR MOVES SUGGESTED Compulsory Industrial Service of Both Men and Property Also Is Advocated Conservation of Food Is Indorsed. NEW YORK, April 22. Prominent Progressiva and Republican party lead ers Issued a statement here tonight Pledging- their support of the Adminis tration's war plans and urging- the adoption of measures which they said they believe to be "Immediately neces sary." Among- those who signed the state ment were Hiram W. Johnson, Raymond Robins. Harold L. Ickes. William Dra per Lewis, Gifford Pinchot, Miles Poln dexter, Ogden Reid, E. A. Van Valken burg, Chester Rowell and William Allen White. "Believing that our country has en tered the great war rightly, wisely and of necessity; that it is our duty as a g-reat free people to take our part in the defense of liberty, democracy and civilization against the attack of mili tarism, and that our sober purpose is to secure a Just and lasting peace, we support with all our hearts and all our powers the war plan of the Gov ernment, declared by the President in his address to Congress on April 2," the statement said. Necessary Steps Discussed. "We earnestly desire that the war may be brought to a successful, per empt and permanent conclusion; that our allies may receive from us what ever assistance will best sustain them in their vast sacrifices; and that our Nation, playing: its part with honor, courage and effectiveness, may be spared all needless burdens and avoid able loss. "To carry forward the plans of our Government with full success and thereby achieve the ends just named we believe that the following measures are immediately necessary: "1. Universal military service to In sure equality of sacrifice. "2. Universal industrial service of both men and. property in support of the Nation. "3. Official guarantee the Govern ment will buy at stated prices all ag ricultural products offered to encourage the largest possible production. Price Regulation Suggested. "4. Government control of the prices of the necessities of life, including rent, food- and fuel, to stop undue in crease of the cost of living. "5. Federal and state guarantees to the wage earners of America that their rights shall not be lost, so that the sacrifices that are required of them in common with all other citizens dur ing the war shall not continue after peace is restored. "6. Government co-operation to maintain and develop the efficiency of law-abiding- enterprises, thus preserving- the foundations of our commercial prosperity. The tremendous struggle for the markets of the world which will follow the war must not find us un prepared. "7. A graduated Income tax by which an Increasing part of the larger in comes shall be conscripted for public purposes, so that wealth may bear its fair share in the general sacrifice. Limit on Profits Asked. "8. A limit on profits In American and allied government orders and a supertax on excess profits due to war conditions. To lend our allies $3,000, 000,000 and then exact the return of much of it in extortionate profits would be Indefensible. "9. Conservation of grain so far as possible for food purposes. "10. The payment of as much of the cost of the war as can be met out of current revenues. "11. National and state legislation granting women equal political rights with men, thus completing the estab lishing of democracy. "12. The retention and control of all natural resources now held by the Gov ernment so that the foundations of National efficiency and industrial strength may not be impaired. Readjustment Is Forecast. "13. The workers of our country will make heavy sacrifices during the war. With peace will come industrial readjustment. A Government commis sion should be organized now to pre pare for the distribution of unemployed labor after the war and for Govern ment use of surplus labor. With far sighted purpose, we should plan to carry forward into the coming peace the increased industrial power result ing from a reorganization of labor and capital made necessary by the war. "14. From common devotion to serv ice to perpetuate and advance democ racy there should be assurance of com mon benefit so that out of the sacri fices of war America may achieve broader democracy In government, more equable distribution of wealth and greater National efficiency In rais ing the level of the general welfare." RAILROAD LANDS ARE LENT Northern Pacific's Employes to Have 100,000 Acres In Gardens. ST. PAUL, Minn.. April 22. President J. M. Hannaford, of the Northern Pa cific ' Railroad, has signed an order ex tending permission to all employes to cultivate all available lands reserved for use of the operating department, estimated at nearly 100,000 acres, along the 7000 miles of the road's right-of-way. Lands for the purpose will be allotted by superintendents of the different di visions in which they are situated. Any proceeds from the sale of vege tables or grain will go entirely to the employes raising them. ARMY OF HOE RECRUITED Prizes Offered to Christian Endeav- orers for Best Results. BOSTON, April 22. An appeal to all Christian Endeavorers to join the "army of the hoe and spade" which is more needed than the army of sword and rifle. was made by the Rev. Francis E. Clark, president of ' the United Society of Christian Endeavor in a statement today. To encourage interest he has offered prizes to those who get the largest re sults from a piece of ground 20 feet square, and .also to those getting the best results from an acre. League to Enforce Peace Scouted. PHILADELPHIA, April 22. James M. Beck, lormer Assistant Attorney-Gen- AID AD JISTRATIO eral of the United States, addressing the American Academy of Political and So cial Science last night, declared that any league to enforce peace is futile, because any such alliance of nations sooner or later would tend to break up into groups and the result would be worse than a dispute solely between two nations. CENSORS ARE OPPOSED Publishers' Association Says Plan Would Muzzle Press. NEW YORK, April 22. Resolutions declaring- that the censorhip provision of the espionage bill "is an assault upon the very foundation of our free institutions, freedom of thought and freedom of speech" have been adopted by the Publishers' Association of New York City, it was announced tonight.

Mrs. Evaline Collard, who died In this city last Thurs day, was buried Friday in the Camas Cemetery. Mrs. Collard was born in McMInnville, Or., November 20, 1855. She was mar ried in 1877 to W. F. Collard. a son of a well-known pioneer fam ily from the Oswego district. Ten years later the family moved to Camas and have made this place their home since. Besides her husband, four chil dren survive to mourn her loss. These are Fred W. Collard, Lewis L. Collard, Mrs. Grace D. Seotton and Mrs. Bessie Karnath, all res idents of Camas. At McMInnville two brothers James O. Rodgers and Thomas H. Rodgers and one sister Mrs. I. N. Collard are still living. gress from this state are requested to vote against the measure. The resolu tion says: "There exists a voluntary censorship suggested by the Government which newspapers are observing In a most patriotic way. Every self-respecting newspaper expects to co-operate with its Government in refraining from the publication of news that would give aid to the enemy. "Does anyone believe there Is In the United States a single newspaper which would willingly print that which should be concealed? Newspapers that wil fully violate the spirit of censorship and publish prohibited information of military value could be prosecuted- un der the law of treason. "The American people are entitled to a full, free and frank statement of all that occurs whether it be good or bad. They must have confidence that they are getting the truth. There can be no justification for a restriction that abridges the liberties of the press." GERMAN PRETEXT CHARGED British Deny Allegation Relief Ship Marks Are Used as Ruse. LONDON, April 22. "A German wire less message on the 20th of April," says a statement given out by the Brit ish official press bureau, "accuses the French and British governments of employing vessels for attacking sub marines on the ruse of the distinctive arkings carried on the Belgian relief ships. "The allegation is entirely untrue. . . . and evidently is intended as a pretext for torpedoing Belgian relief ships on sight and thus further reduc ing the mercantile tonnage of the world." i I " ' ' It ! v - t - -- II It - " - ? i !

THESE are the days of disappearing soldiers. Mothers, fathers, sweethearts, yes, and those young Portland roses, who, since the Third Oregon was called out, are experiencing- their first heart throb, should not be amazed and wor ried because of the sudden dropping out of sight of their loved ones. Just remember that these are the days of "somewhere," and that "the boys" are now being fathered by their gTeat Uncle Sam. It is known that many of the Oregon troops are far from Port land on land and sea. but military ex pediency precludes their whereabouts being made known. Even if the son and suitor has left suddenly for parts unknown, always bear this in mind: Do not wait for him to write. Get busy with pen and ink (be sure you do not send pictures of picturesque Portland and write on it, "We are hav ing a good time. Wish you were here to enjoy it with us"), and be sure and address your letters to the company to which he belongs and add "In care of Third Oregon Field Headquarters." The efficient headquarters staff will see that the letter reaches its proper destina tion. Letters from home are one of the big things that happen In the life of a soldier in the ranks, . especially at this time and during the long months that are to follow. Parents and friends should also re member 'to send frequent bundles of reading- matter. It will all help to break the monotony of the strenuous work that is before each man who Joined the colors. Troops Shifted ..'Idely. Home folks must get used to their sons disappearing from sight. They must realize, with the War Department moving troops around like checkers, that there is importance attached to what is being done. It need not be surprising that soldiers from Oregon will in time find themselves doing duty on the Atlantic Coast, and that sol diers from the Atlantic states be found on the Pacific Coast. What Is true of the Oregon soldiers is and will be true also of the Oregon Militia, Never was the parade ground In CAVE-IN FLOODS TREADWELL -MINE Three Units of Alaska Prop erty Destroyed by Fill ing of Huge Stopes. ALL THE WORKMEN ESCAPE Sinking of Earth Continues All Day, Forcing Men to Move Belong ings Payroll Will Be Re duced 65 Per Cent. JUNEAU, Alaska. April 22. A sur face cave-in, along a fault into an enormous worked-out stope. which let the waters of Gastineau Channel into lower workings, forced the abandon ment of the Alaska Treadwell, the Alaska United, and the Alaska Mexi can, three of the largest units of the famous Treadwell group of mines, at midnight last night. The inrush of water forced the miners from the workings and drowned a num ber of horses and mules, which were tramming ore in the lower levels. The alarm was given by an engineer who had been watching the general settling of the surface, an all the men were raised to the surface in quick and orderly fashion. P. R. Bradley, general superintendent of the Alaska Treadwell. admitted- Sun day afternoon that the outlook for ever resuming work in the three bis mines is hopeless. Visitor Kept at Distance. All day Sunday thousands of visitors flocked to Treadwell, the community which has grown up about the mines. Guards kept the crowds away from the sinking surface, while residents of the stricken mining community removed their household effects and the miners took their belongings from the mine rooming-houses, several of which are sinking Into the ground. The Alaska Treadwell, which is in corporated with 200. 000 shares at $25 per share, has produced $40,000,000 worth of gold since 1882. of which $16. 000,000 has been paid to stockholders. The Alaska United has paid $12.000-,00O to date, of which $3,000,000 has been paid to stockholders. The Alaska Mex ican has produced $4,000,000, of which $3,500,000 has gone to stockholders. The combined plant and property value is close to $6,000,000. Bulkheads Hold Back Flood. General Manager Bradley had an ticipated trouble and had. taken pre cautions to remove every man speedily from the danger zone. Bulkheads of solid concrete between the flooded properties and the Ready Bullion mine are holding, and It is confidently be lieved that the property is safe and will continue to operate. The misfor tune, however, is one of the greatest in the history of Alaska mining. The pay roll at Treadwell will now be cut about 65 per cent. The flooding of the mines falls hard on Douglas, the city to the north of Treadwell, which is the business and residence section for the big force which has been employea at Treadwell. This community has been one of the most prosperous for its size in Alaska as a result of the steady pay roll. Juneau, across the channel, is also affected in lesser degree, but the ar rangements already being- perfected to employ a large number of the men thrown out of work lq the Alaska. Ju neau, and other mines near here, which have been suffering- from a labor short age, gives the situation a more hope ful aspect. WOOL TO BE CONSERVED England Prohibits Sales to Create Reserve Stock. LONDON. April 22. In view of the heavy military needs and in order to maintain the export of wool as far as possible, the War Office nas decided to take steps to accumulate a consider able reserve of wool In Great Britain, and, therefore, has prohibited all sales of wool or tops until further notice. It has also suspended distribution of wool by the government until after May.. Manufacturers are urged to economize in the use of wool, utilizing substitutes wherever they can for the needs of civilians, thus leaving wool stocks for the government or Tor export. front of the field headquarters of the Third Oregon more .colorful than it was yesterday afternoon Hundreds of automobiles were parired along the street In front of officers' row. , The large velvet-green parade ground was made brilliant by the var.'egated colors of the gowns, hats and cloaks worn by the hundreds of pretty women visitors. There must have- been vver 1000 visitors present when the buele sound ed church calL Major W. S. Gilbert, Chaplain of the Third Oregon, held field services and the Third Regiment band played sacred music Major Gil bert chose for his field theme. "The Fuller Life." He glorified the sol diers' life and said that for many Z those who had joined the colors that they were Just beginning to live, and urged them to live more and to live right. Men Klndlnp: Tkrmwlra. The Chaplain told of having received a letter from the parents of a boy who had Just enlisted, saying that they were just beginning- to realize how much they loved the boy who had gone away. The speaker 'said that the par ents of this boy were not the only ones who were Just waking up to this realization, and finding themselves; that this was true also of the men who had enlisted. They, too, are finding themselves for the first time. He also hazarded a guess that many young men who are still riding around in automo biles are still living in darkness and have not found themselves. If they had found themselves they would have answered the call of the President. After the services the band was to have given a concert, but after guard mount, which was held at the close of the services, the wind had risen so that it was impossible to keep the music on the music racks. At that, the many visitors had the pleasure of seeing Company F go through the maneuvers of g-uard mount. This was the second guard mount held since the Guard was mustered in, the first guard mount having been held Saturday by Com pany E. Captain Libby had his ull company out and they made a splendid showing. Twelve squads marched and counter marched across the parade ground, while the . band played and bugles blared.

NEED OF MEN NOT FELT General Staff Advises Older Men to Find Useful Channels for Patri otism Armory Is Closed to Visitors. Home Guard organizations cannot be accepted by the State of Oregon, In the absence of legal authority to do so. It was announced by the general staff of the Oregon National Guard yesterday, following a meeting when recommen dations of the War Department and legal interpretation of existing law were canvassed. The general staff also announced a more rigid regulation and guard of the various state armories and especially the Multnomah County Armory. Supply of Men Ample. A canvass of the potential military strength, in men, of the United States, has been shown to be ample to meet the combined armies of the world, ac cording to the general staff and the attempt to equip Home Guard units, in the face of the big task of equipping the actual soldiers now entering the field, would seriously handicap the War Department. The action was taken as a means of disposing- at once of the numerous ap plications from all over the state for recognition and equipment Including ammunition of Home Guards. Should any emergency arise In small localities the local and municipal po lice organizations would be expected to handle the situation. In extreme emergencies, troops will be assigned. Before taking the action yesterday, the general staff considered recommen dations and instructions from all de partments, state and national, affected. Armory to Be Closed. The action of the general staff means that the Armory will be closed at re treat. 7 P. M. until reveille at 7 A. M. So many visitors at the Armory, as have recently been allowed, have had an adverse effect upon the discipline, drill and inspection of the troops and seriously disturbed Federal soldiers who are sleeping in the Armory after being on guard duty. The public will also be excluded from the Armory galleries. No civilians will be allowed either in company or squad rooms, hereafter. Members of Veterans" associations, however, will be allowed the use of the Board of Officers' room for the pres ent at least. California Units Under Strength. In acting- on the Home Guard situa tion the general staff, generally replied to the California argument for home guards, by pointing- to the poor show ing of California in recruiting men and mobilizing existing units. Companies were mobilized under strength In many instances, it was pointed out. Adjutant General White, following the meeting, explained the action of the general staff as follows: "There Is splendid patriotic energy in the country, and, at the present time those who desire to be of service will find a more useful field for their work. The potential military strength of the United States, in men, can match the armies of the world. There are and will be more men available, it is likely, than will ever be needed. Congress Worlu on Policy. "Congress has not yet settled its military policy and. the home guar as movement should be deferred until a necessity Is shown to exist and the methods for equipping- them is provid ed when the need' for them is apparent. "The Industrial life must be carried on. Plenty of work exists for all to do. There are enough regularly con stituted' soldiers available to do the soldiering and the authority for rais ing them rests with the War Depart ment. The War Department apparently finds the home guard movement not in keeping with its own programme now. "The troops needed for internal service now are rapidly being- put into condition of training and equipment. This force of regular soldiers rather than being decreased will be increased as the Army and National Guard units are increased. Problems Will Be Met. "A useful channel for the patriotic energy of the country, no doubt, will be provided for patriotic men who ax Price willing to serve now in the home guard. These men will be needed as the re sources and energies of the country are organized and co-ordinated as they will be. The Nation was suddenly precipi tated Into a state of war and Congress must have time to get its bearings. All problems will be met slowly per haps, but surely. "Such plans as Congress works out for utilizing these men who cannot serve in the regular ranks of the or ganized units, will be submitted to those Interested, in due time, either for adoption or rejection. There are many useful ways that the troops now in the field can be helped, as those called away for service have necessar ily had to leave civil attachments un attended to and there will be work in this line for many men. A force of influential citizens will be needed for this work. The Oregon Patriotic Serv ice League already has plans under way for co-operating with the soldier or ganizations. Situation Gone Into Carefully. "The General Staff discussed the sit uation thoroughly before taking ac tion." Those present at the General Staff meeting were: Adjutant-General White, Colonel John L. May, Third Infantry: Colonel Creed C. Hammond, Eugene; Captain Roy R. Knox, Albany: Captain C. F. Hogan, cavalry; Captain Burt V. Clayton, field artillery, representing all branches of the service. Following the meeting the General Staff visited the rifle range at Clackamas. SHIP PLANT SITE LEASED FOUR CRAFT TO BE BUILT AT VANCOUVER YARDS. Bond of $5000 Insures Beginning of Construction Within :tO Days. Cost Will Be 4,0O0,0O0. VANCOTTVEPw. Wash.. April 22. (Spe cial.) Vancouver, at whose dock the first steamer, the Beaver, to ply the Pacific Ocean, was outfitted with pad dle wheels, in 183S. is to have a ship building yard, and the keete of four vessels will be laid at once. A bond of $5000 will be forfeited if work is not started within 30 days. Final papers were signed yesterday by the City Council and the Columbia River Shipbuilding Company, and those who took part for this city feel as though they have done something which will be of more vital Importance to the city than anything else in a de cade. The building of four ships here Is assured and when these are completed, it is probable that there will be as many more to build. The. site is on the north bank of the Columbia River just below the Colum bia River Interstate bridge, and above the North Bank steel drawbridge. To build these bridges cost more than $4,000,000. In addition to having a deep chan nel to the Pacific Ocean, several main line railroads pass through the city and there is a side track which will be available to haul supplies into the very yards and within 100 feet of the ships to be built. A large number of men will be em ployed in building these ships and the vacant houses in the city will be oc cupied at once, and more built, probably. There were several concerns after the levee here for shipbuilding pur poses, but after careful consideration, the lease was given the Columbia Shipbuilding Company. DIVINITY STUDENT ENLISTS Eugene. W. Wohr Joins the Marine Corps as "Christian Daty." LANCASTER, Pa... April 22. Eugene W. Wohr, a divinity student, practic ing what he preaches, has answered the President's call for the co-operation of the clergymen of the country in the fight for democracy and human rights, by enlisting In the United States Marine Corps today. Mr. Wohr told the recruiting officer: "After a long debate with myself, I have come to the conclusion that it is my Christian duty to give up my studies and enlist in our 'first line of defense.'

Fourth and Alder Streets WAR SENSE URGED Proper Behavior in Emergency Plea of Rev. E. H. Pence. G0SSIPERS ARE ASSAILED Clrarch Members Told to Avoid Hys teria, Despondency, and, in Case of Victory, Exultation, but to Hold Fast In Prayer. More assassination has been pro moted by gossip, more happiness blasted and more reputations killed un der the auspices of Gashmu, the patron saint of gossips, than by any other agency, declared Rev. Edward H. Pence, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, yesterday, speaking on "Gash mu, the Unreliable." Mr. Pence commented on the neces sity for censorship of the press be cause a few papers cannot be trusted. "Gashmu appears often under the guise of rumor," declared Mr. Pence, "and when one lie is started another is needed to cover it up or lend plausi bility to it. "Nothing perhaps needs greater dis cretion than this matter of publishing the news without betrayal of any in formation which might be prejudicial to the Nation's aims. "The power of the press is shown in the elevation of David Lloyd George t6 the British Premiership as the most capable man to direct the war. "Whatever may be done bv your Government or whatever turn the war may take I beg of you to beware of you to beware of Sir Gaunt foes by establishing a censorship over news. "No measure before our Federal legislation is more fraught with deli cacy than this, with a clear view to surpress hysteria, provoked by alarm, fed by rumors In press or on the street; despondency for we must be prepared to be brave if the struggle rages on to the close encounter of our navy with Germany's: hatred let us pray God to keep the President's great definite words vividly in our memory that we war not against a people, but against a pitiless, inhuman system: ex ultation when the hour of triumph comes; selfish temptation. "Last of all, let not over-confidence betray us into forgetf ulness to pray. "Let us maintain our American san ity as Individuals and as a people steadied each and all of us to our task; and make Nehemlah's answer to Gash mu that we are too busy at our duties 'to weaken arm or knee for our Na tional tasks.' ' PORTLAND HELD NOISY BARKING DOG AKD LOUD TALKERS ARE COMPLAINED OF. Abatement of Needless Disturbance Suggested As "War Mean a re" to Conserve Efficiency. Perhaps the next step In conserving America's efficiency will be an anti noise campaign. Now when the leaks and wastes are to be stopped in every possible direction, starting with the food question, to help America win the war. it is being suggested that lost motion, lnharmony and other things that tend to inefficiency, if they do not actually result in It, be abated. i'he Oregonian has received a letter of inquiry from a mechanic who works nights, and complains of a neighbor's barking dog that prevents his sleeping during the day time. This certainly Authorized Sales and Service Sold on Easy Terms Complete Stock of Parts THE PACIFIC KISSELKAR BRANCH Broadway at Davis St. means lost efficiency for the man de prived of his sleep. Needless noises that disturb and an noy are heard throughout Portland, it is said. Thoughtless people shout to the annoyanc- of neighbors who want to sleep, when a moderate tone of voice would answer better. Any number of people, it is pointed out, who come to town from the country to live, bring along their conversational habits ac quired in the open country and the pitch of their voice is one intended to carry across a 10-acre field, when, as a matter of fact, they need only a very small portion of the volume used. Neighbors in flats and apartments know the secrets of entire strangers because of this unfortunate habit, and the loud talker is everywhere reviled. If an anti-noise crusade can be found to have a real efficiency basis, and none can doubt that it has, say those who favor it, it will unquestionably find favor during the war period, when every last ounce of efficiency is going to be mobilized to aid the country. ITALIAN WOOER IN JAIL POLICE CALLED BY PRETTY WIDOW, WHO REJECTS ADVANCES. Unsteady Steps of Lover Lead to Search for Liquor, but Loaded Revolver la Found. The amorous tendencies of 67-year-old James Candello led to his arrest at East Forty-second and Lincoln streets late yesterday afternoon. A pretty Italian widow, unable to speak English, and whose name the officers sent to the scene were unable to obtain, was the cause of Candello's trouble. The pretty widow was visited yester day by Candello. She repulsed his at tentions and when he refused to leave the house the police were appealed to. Motorcycle . Patrolmen Gouldstone and Crane hurried to the scene. The officers heard the etory from the small son of the Italian widow. They asked Candello why he did not leave the house when asked to. He said he would go and started to leave. As he went down the steps he reeled noticeably. Officers made a search for liquor, but found none. They arrested. Candello for being drunk and disorder ly and after they had "frisked" htm they discovered he carried a loaded re volver. He was lodged In the City Jail and his bail fixed at $200.

"I am a nurse and suffered from a nervous breakdown. I had no appetite and could not sleep at night, and nothing seemed to help me. By chance I heard of Vlnol, and after taking the first bottle I noticed an improvement, and four bottles made me well and strong, it gave me a hearty appetite, so I can sleep soundly night or day. I consider Vinol a wonderful tonic" Edith R. Forbes, Stamford. Conn. The reason Vlnol Is so successful in overcoming such conditions is because it is a constitutional remedy and goes to the seat of the trouble. It is the greatest strength creator we know due to the beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and glycerophosphates which it contains, all dissolved in a pure medicinal wine. We have seen so many wonderful re coveries like this right here In Port land caused by Vinol, that we feel per fectly safe in offering to return money In every such case where Vinol falls to benefit.
