ROSES OF EVERY
KIND ON DISPLAY
Greatest Showing of Beauty
Society Has Ever Had Is
"to Benefit Red Cross.
MANY AWARDS ARE MADE
lateness of Season, Instead of Spoil
ing Production, Has Done Much
to Make Flowers More Per
fect, Say Experts.
The only reason you can't find a
blue rose at the annual show of the
Portland Rose Society, which opened
at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday, is
because there "ain't no such animal."
They have got every other shape and
color and variety under the sun in a
display that 'sweeps in a gorgeous
semi-circle of color -through the north
ern half of the big hotel, from the
ballroom to the assembly hall the
greatest display the society has ever
had.
In spite of the splendor of the ex
hibit the attendance was not so great
as was expected yesterday, but the
society hopes for a big. crowd today,
because the receipts are to be turned
over entirely to the Red Cross and
they are anxious to raise as large a
sum as possible. The admission is 10
cents.
The show will open at 9 o'clock this
morning and will continue all day and
into the evening.
There are displays of all kinds from
single blooms to .huge bowls contain
ing 50 or more blooms, and the major
ity of the blossoms are as perfect as
if they had been chiseled out of some
huge and exquisite gems.
The lateness of the season has helped
to make the display better than ever
this year, by bringing out a better
foliage display and producing richer
tints in all colors of the roses.

EXPERTS MUST APPROVE
Representative McArthur Is Advised
Astoria Submarine and Aviation
Base Cannot Be Passed On
Before Next Session.
OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, June 20. The reasons why Con
gress will not act this session on the
recommendation of the Helm Board, In
favor of a submarine and aviation base
near th nouth of the Columbia Biver
is set 1 .h in a letter written to Rep
resentative McArthur by Chairman
Padgett, of the House naval committee.
Mr. McArthur, following the filing of
the Helm Board report, wrote Mr.
Padgett inquiring what prospect there
was for getting an appropriation for
the naval base at this session. The
reply of Mr. Padgett says:
"The reports of the Helm Board are
very voluminous and relate to quite a
number of placea and involve large
expenditures and very extensive en
largements of naval Improvements.
These reports are general in their
recommendations and state that the de
tails must be considered, worked out
and approved by the experts In the dif
ferent positions in the Navy Depart
ment and by the Secretary of the Navy.
There has been as yet no opportunity
for this to be done, and the Secretary
of the Navy Informs me that he does
not expect and will not have oppor
tunity to give these matters proper
consideration and investigation so as to
make a recommendation before the
oeeting of Congress In December next.
The committee on naval affairs has
not had opportunity to consider these
various recommendations with that
care which they demand, nor have they
had opportunity to have hearings and
make the investigation . necessary to a
proper understanding of the necessi
ties and requirements at the various
places, and for these reasons it is not
expected to take up consideration of
the recommendations of the Helm
Board report before the meetiner of
Congress next December.
While I know and appreciate your
interest in these matters, I am sure
that you can and will appreciate the
situation, the propriety and necessity
of the committee giving full investi
gation to these matters."

Juno 20. Two American destroyers
have returned with 80 survivors of two
torpedoed British ships. The . ships
were sunk at the farthest point west
ward in the Atlantic the U-boats have
appeared at since the ruthless cam
paign began, and the response of the
American destroyers to their "S. O. S."
was a run of more than 100 miles.
When the American warships ar
rived on the scene they found the ships
were gone, and for many hours they
groped about in the dark in search of
the survivors. The crew of one of the
sunken ships, 31 in number, were found
in one lifeboat, while 49 survivors from
the second ship were picked up from
two small boats. Four sailors from the
latter ship were killed by the ex
plosion of the torpedo. Admiral Sims
met the destroyers on their return and
complimented the commanders.
Although there are no war-time re
strictions on the sale of liquor In this
port, the saloons are not the rendezvous
of either the Americans or Britishers.
One of the diversions of the Americans
is initiating their British colleagues
into the mysteries of the American
National game.
