DR. B. E. MILLER RETURNS
Campaign to Acquaint Californians
With Steamer Service Urged.
Dr. Byron E. Miller, accompanied by
Mrs. Miller, returned yesterday from
California on the steamer Great North
ern. Dr. Miller had been in California
attending the convention of the Homeo
pathic Medical Society. "Portland
should Inaugurate a campaign to ac
quaint people in California with
steamer service to Portlanu," Dr. Miller
said, "and should also get after the
steamship companies for referring to
the Columbia River entrance as the
Columbia 'bar.' On board the vessel
going down they publish a newspaper,
giving, among other things, distances
from point to point, and in this con
nection speak of the Columbia River
'bar.' They make no mention of the
Golden Gate 'bar,' which Is a bar just
as much as that at the entrance to the
Columbia."

SOME BANKS 'STILL DEAF
( Continued From First Page)
ual purchasers saying that they had
applied for bonds through one or the
other of the banks in the foregoing
list.
But If Oregon Is to have credit for
all Its sales these subscriptions posi
tively must be reported to the Port
land office by noon on Friday.
If Portland is to subscribe its full
quota of $6,000,000 It must raise a to
tal of $2,449,650 by Friday noon, for
the subscriptions to date are only
$3,550,350.
And. If the state outside is to meet
its allotment of $2,500,000 It must dig
up $922,750, as the total up-state sub
criptions now are $1,577,250.
Campulcn to Be Pressed.
The big individual subscriptions of
$250,000 by M. H. Houser and $200,000
by Theodore B. Wilcox on Saturday
served to swell Portland's figures sub
stantlally on Saturday and lent much
encouragement to the local committees.
The hunt for "big game" will con
tlnue this week.
The committee feels confident that
men in the $50,000 class and $100,000
class will come to the front all right,
but they are particularly anxious to
get the $2500 and $5000 fellows who
seem to have been derelict In their
duty up to this time.
Employes of the Meier & Frank Com
1 pany have subscribed an aggregate of
$12,500, the bonds to be purchased
through the company on easy weekly
or monthly Installments.
The Meier & Frank Co-Operatlve As
sociation, composed of employes of the
store, has Invested $1700 of its sur
plus in bonds, too.
Every Employe; Subscribe.
Of the 25 employes in the Portland
branch of Swift & Company, packers,
every one subscribed for a bond. The
individual purchases vary from $50 up
to $750. The company has offered to
carry the subscriptions on the usual
Installment plan. The business will be
handled through one of the Portland
banks.
One of the most attractive offers yet
put forward is that of the P. Lorlllard
Company tobacco dealers. The com
pany gives a 10 per cent bonus to
every employe who subscribes. In
other words if the employe subscribes
for a $100 bond the company makes
him a present of $10; or $5 on a $50
bond. Employes will have the chance
to make the deferred payments on In
stallments of $1 a week. s
Frank W. Camp, secretary of the
Lumbermen's Trust Company, will
speak to employes of the Bilers Muslo
House at 6:30 today and explain the
bond Issue.
At noon tomorrow employes of the
Portland Union Stockyards and the
Union Meat Company and other con
cerns connected with the stockyards
will hear a series of bond talks by A.
L. Mills, president of the First Na
tional Bank; C A. Miller, manager of
the bond canrvpalgn, and others.
ITALIANS LEAVE PRINCE
TOUR BY MISSION WILL BE TAKES
WITHOUT ILL MEMBER.
Marconi Wants to Hasten Close of Visit
Here That He May Resume Work
on Anti-Diver Device.
WASHINGTON. June 10. The Italian
war mission will begin Its delayed tour
of the South and Middle West prob
ably Tuesday, leaving behind Its chief,
the Prince of Udlne. whose sudden ill-
ess a week ago caused the trip to be
postponed. The Prince still Is unable
to travel, but he expects to leave
Washington in time to Join, the party
at Chicago. -
The original itinerary will be fol
lowed, it was announced, the first
stops being at Atlanta and Birming
ham, thence to New Orleans, and up
through the Mississippi Valley to Chi
cago, and thence to New York.
The mission had planned to. remain
here until the Prince had completely
recovered, but It was found this would
mean another week's delay. . Because
f the necessity of an early return to
Italy it was decided to begin the tour
without the Prince.
Gugllelmo Marconi, inventor of wire
less telegraphy and a member of the
mission, was particularly Insistent on
hastening the trip, that he might re
tnrn to Italy to resume work on an
anti-submarine device.
A final conference was held today
with the Italian Ambassador, at which
the remaining details of the mission's
work were discussed and placed in
the hands of the Ambassador for dls
position.
Progress of the War.
A NOTHER day has passed without
Cx. the demoralized Germans along
the Ypres front making an effort to
regain the ground they lost In the
titanic drive of Field Marshal Hairs
forces last Thursday. South of Ypres,
however, the Teutons heavily bom'
barded the British positions.
Aerial activity between the German
and British fliers continued Saturday.
Nine enemy machines were accounted
for by the British, who themselves lost
three.
There has been no fighting along
that part of the line where the French
are facing the Germans rising aDove
the character of small surprise at
tacks. On the Chemin-Des-Dames the
Germans early Sunday morning pene
trated a small salient west of Cereny,
but almost Immediately were driven
out with the loss of men made pris
oner.
In the Austro-Italian theater the
fighting is being done entirely by the
artillery wings of the opposing armies.
There has been no attempt at a re
sumption by the Italians of their great
offensive on the Carso front, aitnougn
It is believed another great battle prob
ably is not far distant.
In Macedonia, especially along the
Vardar River sector, artillery duels are
in progress. ,
The situation at Kronstadt, where
the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers'
delegates Is still defying the provision
al government, remains tense. Appa
rently as its first step in carrying out
Its threat to take resolute action, the
government has recalled various off!
cials from Ivronstadt. A heartening
sign In the crisis there Is the fact that
the fleets is that port Is reliable and
can be depended on to aid the govern
ment.
A movement for the establishment
of a republic in Russia has been joined
by the congress of peasant delegates
of all Russia.
The situation In Spain which re
sulted In the resignation of the min
istry Is still acute. The Marquis Prleto
has declined to retain the Premiership,
and the belief prevails Eduardo Dato,
a former Premier of Conservative lean
ings, will be entrusted with the forma'
tion of a cabinet.
As a result of the recent bombard
ment of Ostend and probably In fear
that another operation of a similar
character might be carried out against
the port, the Germans have removed
all the large ships from the harbor,
which presents a deserted appearance.

IN OF RAILROADS
PLEDGE LOYALTY
Big Four Brotherhoods Declare
Themselves to Be United in
Support of President.
ROOSEVELT TALKS OF WAR
Ex-President Would Have Every
Boy Serve in Hanks and Give
Promotion to Those Who
Show Themselves Fittest.
PHILADELPHIA. June 10. Pledges
of loyalty to the Nation were renewed
by officials of the railroad brother
hoods In addresses at their annual me
morial services here today, at which
Theodore Roosevelt was the chief
speaker. Members of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Order of
Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Fnginemen,
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and
the Order of Railway Telegraphers
from all sections of the East attended
the services.
J. C. McDonald, representing the
trainmen, said the brotherhoods were
a unit in their eagerness to assist the
Government In any way within their
power. "We will gladly suspend any
law of our organization if President
Wilson requests it," he declared, "In
order that all the instrumentalities of
this Nation may be used for the com
mon cause that of universal freedom."
Colonel Roosevelt called upon all
Americans to do their "bit." "Our one
thought during the war," he said.
must be of service. Every man, from
railroad president straight down the
line to trackwalker and gatetender,
has his part to play, and he must play
it if the Nation is to attain its utmost
efficiency."
Colonel Would Disfranchise Slackers.
Colonel Roosevelt scored the "con
scientious objector," only a few of
whom, he said, really were conscien
tious in their objection to military
duty. "A man who won't expose his
body In war, he declared, "would not
be allowed to vote in peace, if I had
my way.
The country's new Army, he asserted.
should be "on the French, the demo
cratic model; not on the Prussian, the
aristocratic model.
"Let every boy in the country serve
In the ranks," he said, "and let the
promotion to officers come to the boy
who shows himself fittest, whether he
is the son of a bricklayer or a banker;
of a brakeman or a railway president.
Let discipline be strict in the perform
ance of duty, obedience instant and
unfaltering; but outBide of service let
it be understood that there is no social
lines of cleavage between the one who
does his full duty in one position and
those who do their full duty In an
other. Doing their full duty that is
the only test."
Need Now Is to "Make Good."
Colonel Roosevelt declared, through
unpreparedness and taking little
thought of the morrow, the people of
the United States have been attribut
ing to their virtues much which they
really owe to the fact tlrat they are on
a new continent separated by two great
oceans from the Old World.
"We have utterly failed to prepare
for the war that has come upon us.
he continued, "and now, with the ut
most energy and good will, but with
a vast expenditure of money and ef
fort, and with Infinite hurry and con
fusion and blundering, we are endeav
oring to make good and at best we
can only partially make good the
damage wrought by our foolish refusal
to look unpleasant facts in the face."
Referring to the Industrial situation,
the former President declared "this is
neither the time nor the place to at
tempt to work out In detail all that
must be done in attempting to solve
the industrial problem."
Foolish Egoist Grilled.
"But," he added. "It is eminently de
sirable to lay down a few broad prin
ciples, because it is eminently desirable
that our people should grow to ac
cept these principles as part of their
fund of steady conviction which deter
mines popular action; and should cool
headedly begin to work out, by study
and above all by cautious experiment,
the methods of reducing the principles
to action."
"We must shun equally the mere
selfish egoist and the mere well
meaning fool," declared Colonel Roose
velt. "We should in every way foster
and aid business; and we must remem
ber that in the Internationalized world
of today the big business unit is in
dispensable. Then, together with this
fostering and encouragement should go
supervision and control so ss to secure
the largest possible measure of equity
In the distribution of the rewards and
profits; and, as far as proves feasible,
a growing measure of property Inter
est in, and directional control over,
the business, by all who work per
manently therein."
