HAWAII'S ALLOTMENT CUT
Fairly Seasoned State Troops Suf
ficient to Form 12 Infantry Di
visions France Is Asked to
Remove Tobacco Duty.
WASHINGTON, June 29. Reports
from Major-General Perilling: on the
landing of American troops in France
still were lacking tonight and the per
sonal accounts of newspaper corre
spondents of the scenes at the French
port again were held up to wait on the
official information, and Army offi
cials maintained complete silence as to
the expedition.
Marine corps officers were eager to
learn whether the regiment of sea sol
diers under Colonel Doyen, which
formed part of the initial force, was
first to land. The marines generally
are proud of their record of being first
in the field and are hopeful that it has
been sustained in the first dispatch
of American forces to fight in the Old
World.
Preparation of the great forces that
are to support those already dis
patched are moving: steadily ahead both
in the Army and Navy. Announce
ment today that when the National
Guard is drafted Into Federal service
and mobilized it will be sent at once
to the divisional training camp sites
in the Southeastern, Southern and
Western departments was another step
on the road. It will eliminate some
delay In making ready the state troops
for the front.
State Guards May Consolidate.
There has been speculation but no
authoritative announcement aa to the
use to be made of the National Guard.
The existing units and those new ones
that are ready for Federal inspection
and recognition comprise the skeleton
of IS infantry divisions. Under pres
ent distribution by states there would
not be more than four or five divisions
complete enough to serve that name.
It seems likely that redistribution and
consolidation of the forces must be un
dertaken soon after they pass into the
Federal service under the draft clause
of the National defense act. Probably
12 or more complete infantry divisions
eo'ild then be organized.
At full war strength the existing
regiments would represent a total force
of probably 350.000 men. Of that num
ber at least one-third are fairly well
seasoned troops, who already have had
six or eight months of intensive In
struction and active service on the
border.
Supplies Are Lacking.
Additional training for numerous
guard artillery units soon will be in
progress also at the various officers'
training camps. At least a battalion
of Held artillery has been- ordered to
each camp in order that the artillery
officer candidates for the National
Army have the means of learning the
things they must later teach the new
forces. The greatest problem that
faces the War Department is to find
supplies for the , steadily increasing
number of National Guardsmen who
move to their mobilization camps some
time in July or August.
State officials have been notified
that it is Impossible to fill requisitions
for new equipment that have been
pouring in. The first force to be made
ready must be the regular Army, ex
panded to 300.000. The officers' train
ing camps, where 50,000 men are under
arms, also have absorbed an enormous
quantity of reserve equipment.
The Government, it was learned to
day, already Is taking steps to look
after the comforts of the troops in
France in addition to its regular mili
tary preparations. The State Depart
ment has asked that the French duty
on tobacco be remitted for supplies
sent to the American forces there.
Great Britain secured a similar agree
ment at the outbreak of the war. as
the high French duties, if imposed on
soldiers' luxuries, would have been
almost prohibitive.
Hawaii's Allotment Cut.
The action Is Important, as the time
aoon will come when the relatives and
friends of men at the front will want
to send over such dainties as shipping
space will allow. A precedent for with
drawal of the import tax on these Will
have been established.
An odd situation has arisen in con
nection with one part of the National
Guard. The militia bureau has been
forced to recommend that the allot
ment of Hawaii under the National de
fense act be materially reduced. Un
der the bill the islands would furnish
four regiments of infantry, four com
panies of coast artillery, one troop of
cavalry, one company of engineers and
one signal company. It has been rec
ommended that two regiments of in
fantry and three coast artillery com
panies be stricken from this list. The
islands have a population, exclusive of
aliens, of about 125,000. Under the
original plan 10,000 would be required
for the National Guard, which is too
large a proportion to be obtained under
any circumstances.
"DRY SQUAD" POLICE OUT
Mayor Gill, of Seattle, Discharges
Five ;' Sergeant Will Fight.
SEATTLE, Wash.. June 29. Mayor
Gill today discharged five members of
the police "dry" squad, whose chief.
Sergeant Victor Putnam, was removed
from the force yesterday because he
set a trap for Michael Powers, police
inspector, and accused him of taking a
bribe. Powers was acquitted on trial.
Putnam had previously contradicted
Mr. Gill point blank In the Billingsley
graft trial last Spring.
Putnam says he will fight aganlst
removal. He expected to be removed,
he said, but went through with the
case at the request of Prosecuting At
torney Lundin. - .

Following the Council session Commissioner-elect
John M. Mann, who
takes charge of the Health Bureau to
morrow, announced that Dr. M. B. Mar
cellus, now In service with the Third
Oregon, is to be retailed as City Health
Officer and Dr. Li. J. Wolf, now in
service with the Oregon Naval Militia,
is to -be retained as First Assistant

Jobs Held for Physicians.
The positions which Dr. Marcellus
and Dr. Wolf gave up to go into the
service will be held for them until they
return. The other men will serve until
that time or, in other words, until the
end of the war.
All of these appointments, which will
be made official at the first meeting
of the new Council Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, dispose of all the prin
cipal positions in the service except
that of Chief of Police. That appoint
ment is up to Mayor-elect Baker, who
will make his decision public probably
next week. His selection is said to
rest between N. F. Johnson, director of
the Public Employment Bureau, a man
in whom Mr. Baker has great confi
dence, and Chief of Police Clark.
Barbur Reported for GUI.
The special executive session of the
new Council yesterday was called un
expectedly to dispose of the questions
which have been bothering the new
Council members ever since election.
The session was attended by Mayor
elect Baker and Commissioners-elect
Barbur. Kellaher and. Mann, and Com
missioner Blgelow.
For Auditor it is said the vote found
Mr. Barbur and Mr. Kellaher favoring
James Gill, deputy city auditor, and
Mayor-elect Baker and Mr. Mann and
Commissioner Bigelow favoring Mr.
Funk.
Blgelotr Elected President.
Mr. Barbur is to have charge of the
Public Works Department and had the
principal voice In the question of City
Engineer. He selected Mr. Laurgaard.
It is said two votes, those of Mr. Baker
and Mr. Bigelow. were for Mr. Dater,
who holds the position now.
For Municipal Judge, it is said the
vote was Baker. Mann and Barbur for
Mr. Rossman and Bigelow and Kellaher
for Judge Steveason. On the question
of president of the City Council, Mr.
Mann moved that Commissioner Bige
low be named, and this was adopted by
unanimous vote. Mr. Bigelow is the
only holdover Commissioner and Is
senior in point of service to any other
member of the Council.
City Hall Is Surprised.
When news of what had happened
began to seep about the City Hall there
was much excitement and astonish
ment. Inasmuch as some of the "wise
ones" had "doped" the prospects out
differently. It had been considered
certain that Mr. Gill would be ap
pointed Auditor and Mr. Dater would
be retained as Engineer. Also, there
was considerable surprise over the se
lection of Mr. Rossman.
Commissioner Mann, in announcing
his appointments, said the selection of
both Dr. Parrish and Dr. Abele was in
accordance with recommendations of
the City and County Medical Associa
tion and in accordance with long lists
of letters from physicians and others
indorsing both men. Dr. Abele former
ly was a school inspector and since the
departure of Dr. Marcellus and Dr.
Wolf has been Acting Health Officer.
Mr. Mann announced that in retain
ing Dr.. Marcellus and Dr. Wolf as the
regular appointees he has taken into
consideration the question of patriot
ism, which should mark the activities
of every branch of the city service, as
well as every branch of the county,
state and Federal service and all pri
vate employers.
"I feel," said Mr. Mann, "that the
city should set an example in. patriot
ism and follow that example right
Sr
down the line, and I hope the same
spirit will prevail throughout the in
stitutions, governmental and other
wise, throughout the state. In the
policy along this line I have consulted
with Mayor-elect Baker and he is in
full accord.
"There was considerable complaint
when the soldier boys returned from
the Mexican border last Fall and last
Spring because some of their employ
ers had not held their positions for
them. This Is a condition that should
not be and will not be as long as 1
bave any power in the matter I stand
absolutely for going the limit for every
man who has joined the colors."
Dr. Parrish has been a resident and
practicing physician in Portland since
1909. During his time he has won
many friends, as was evident from the
number of letters of recommendation
sent to Mavor-elect Baker and Commissioner-elect
Mann, including the in
dorsement of the City and County Med
ical Society.
Health Work Extensive.
He is a graduate of the Washington
University of St. Louis with the class
of 1894. In that year he entered the
health department of St. Louis and re
mained there for four years, serving In
various capacities, including assistant
in the City Hospital, assistant in the
female hospital, assistant superintend
ent in the female hospital, one year in
dispensary service and six months in
County Poor Farm work.
During 1904 and 190a he was in the
clinics of Berlin and Freiberg. He came
to Portland in 1909. and in 1912 went
East and took a six months' post
graduate course. He was born in St.
Louis April 27. 1872.
The new appointments In the heaitn
bureau will be followed by a number of
changes in subordinate positions.
Three Asked to Resign.
The first action along this line came
yesterday morning, when resignations
were asked from Mrs. Hattie Turner,
chief clerk: Albert F. Bernard, milk
Inspector, and A, B. Baines, sanitary
inspector.
Mr. Rossman. who will become Mu
nicipal Judge, has been a resident of
Portland and has been In law practice
here for seven and one-half years. He
s a graduate of the Whitworth Col
lege, in Tacoma. and the University of

at 375 Twelfth street. Ever since com
ing to Portland he has been a member
of the law firm of Wilson, Neal & Ross
man. with offices in the Chamber of
Commerce building.
Mr. Rossman primarily was the
choice of Mayor-elect Baker. Since
udr. Rossman entered the race for the
position. Mr. Baker and others of the
Council have been showered with letters
of indorsement from lawyers and
others.
Judge Stevenson Named In 1913.
John H. Stevenson, who will retire
as Municipal Judge, was appointed by
Mayor Albee in 1913 and has served
continuously, except for one year, when
he left the position and was replaced
by Arthur Langguth. Judge Stevenson
returned to the bench when Judge
Langguth resigned several months ago.

was educated In Wisconsin, having
been graduated from the LaCrosse
High School and the University of
Wisconsin from the civil engineering
course, including sanitary and hy
draulic engineering. He came West in
1903, and has been employed continu
ously in Oregon and Washington on
development work since that time. He
came to Portland in 1905, and during
1905 and 1906 was an employe In the
Reclamation Service. In 1906 he was
sent to Northern Washington on the
construction of the Okanogan project,
upon the completion of which he re
turned to Portland.

islature. This is his only political ex
perience. 'He was project engineer of
the Tumalo project at a salary of $4200
a year. He is a director in the Ore
gon Society of Engineers and presi
dent of the Northwestern Society of
Highway Engineers.
Raee for Commissioner Left.
Prior to the last city election. .Mr.
Laurgaard announced his candidacy for
City Commissioner, but withdrew from
the race because of a technicality in
the matter of residence, the city char
ter requiring three years' continuous
residence and Mr. Laurgaard having
changed his voting place while te
was engaged in Government work.
Philip H. Dater was taken from-the
United States Forestry Service by City
Commissioner Dieck and appointed to
the position of city engineer. He has
held that position during Mr. Dieck's
administration.

GOAL TO BE ASKED
Senator McNary Takes Up
Case in Behalf of Northwest.
LOWER PRICE GIVEN EAST
Oregon Congressman Will Request
Council of National Defense to
Give Same Consideration to
States of West Coast.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 29 On receipt of advices
from the Portland Chamber of Com
merce to the effect that the fuel situa
tion In the Pacific Northwest had be
come acute and that some factories
may have to shut down, for lack of
coal. Senator McNary made inquiry to
day and found that the problem of coal
distribution is being worked out by
the Council of National Defense in co
operation with Secretary Lane.
He was unable to obtain an appoint
ment today with either Secretary Laneor
the head of the coal committee, but will
endeavor tomorrow to reach both of
these and urged that the same con
sideration be. given the Northwest as
has heretofore been shown the Middle
West.
Thus far the Council has concen
trated its efforts entirely to insuring
an adequate coal supply for the Atlan
tic seaboard and the Chicago Mid-West
territory, where its efforts have already
resulted In greatly increasing the
supply of coal and greatly reducing
prices.
Senator McNary will insist that the
Oregon country is entitled to equal at
tention from the Council and will ask
that Immediate steps be taken to see
that fuel is shipped as needed to the
Northwest.
The Senator proposes also to talk
with Secretary Lane about the" possi
bility of making Alaskan coal available
for the North Pacific markets.

GUARD TO GO SOUTH
Troops to Start as Soon as
Federal Service Begins.
AUGUST 5 POSSIBLE DATE
One Operation Covering Entire Force
to Eliminate Question or In
equalities of Rank of Offi
cers Being Considered.
" WASHINGTON, June 29. National
Guard regiments will be sent forward
to their divisional mobilization camps
in the South immediately after they
have been drafted into the Federal
service. Heretofore It had been ex
pected that because of lack of tenti
it might be necessary to keep many
regiments at .their home armories oi
state mobilization points for an in
definite period.
The exact date of the application of
the draft to the Guard is still under
discussion. Present orders are that the
divisions of the Eastern section of the
country be drafted July 15. the Central
section July 25. and the Western sec
tion August 5.
It has been pointed out, however,
that inequalities in relative rank among
National Guard officers would result
from this three Increment plan, and the
War Department is debating the ad
visability of postponing the application
of the draft until August 5 and cover
ing the entire Guard at that time in
one operation.
JAPAN'S COURSE TOLD
POLICY TOWARD CHKA ONE OF
NON-ISTEnFEHEX'Ca
Minister of War Announces Intention
of Asking Authority to Increase
Army Divisions.
TOKIO, June 29. In debate in the
Diet, yesterday, "Yukio Ozaki. leader of
the constitutional party, charged that
the government, while declaring its
policy in China was one of non-interference,
was in practice supporting the
Chinese Northerners, or the party of
militarism. At all events, he declared,
the Chinese Southerners so believed. If
the belief was unfounded, he Insisted,
Japan should take steps to remove the
misconception held by the Southerners,
which also was held abroad.
In replying. Premier Terauchl de
clared that Japan was steadily adhering
to her decision for non-interference,
and was merely encouraging and guid
ing China. He did not believe, he said,
that China's entrance into the war
would have an immediate and direct
beneficial effect upon Japan and her
allies, but he thought it would prove
beneficial in the future.
Lleutenant-General Oshlma, the Min
ister of War, announced that he pos
sibly would ask authority to increase
the number of army divisions beyond
the present 25.
Vice-Admiral Kato, the Minister or
Marine, announced it had been decided
to arm future battleships with 12 14
inch, or eight 16-inch guns.
