Joseph Patterson, formerly of the re portorial . staff of The Oregonian, but now with the American Field Ambu lance service at the front in France, ha3 written a letter describing the conditions at the front line trenches where he has been serving of late. The letter de scribes not only the now celebrated "curtain of fire" (tir de barrage), but also personal encounters between enemy air fighters which Mr. Patter son witnessed. In other particulars ? Mr. Patterson's let ter teems with in terest because of Joseph Pattemon. taU Jn which fae describes life at the French front and Incidents of life In or near "No Man's Land." He wrote: "You doubtless have read many ref erences and descriptions of the most terrifying Invention, or better, new method of modern warfare, the 'tir de barrage' (curtain of fire). It is the grandest display of nocturnal illu mination possible to imagine, and has rare beauty. The other night I wit nessed one from a hill which was about half a mile to one side of the direct fire, apd absolutely safe. Boche Attack Described. "Some Boche soldiers left their trenches with hand grenades and cross ed No Man's Land and threw their bombs, which signified a Boche attack was on. "The French replied with rapid-fire guns from the front trench, and tele phone alarms started the artillery. Perhaps 10,000 cannon replied. They had all the ranges and they threw a curtain of fire behind the charging Germans and before the German front trench one curtain to prevent the Ger mans being reinforced. Then, from two to 15 miles back, large-caliber French cannon shelled the German trenches and batteries. The big shells whistled high over my head. Every where was a deafening, sharp roar; the cannon discharging made flashes like lightning; the shells exploding looked like balls of fire; the observers shot thousands of Roman candles, red, white, blue, yellow and green, straight up to signal to the gunners quicker than a telephone would work. The Germans replied with a cannonade, and used sim ilar colored signals from their trenches. New fuse and star shells to add new lights were fired by the thousands. Battle Declared "Beautiful. "I saw two colored signal walls, a wall of balls of fire and innumerable flashes, like 10,000 lightning and thun der storms, minus the rain and cloudy Blcy, at once. For 30 minutes this con tinued and cost several million dollars. From where I sat It was great. I didn't know there could be so much noise and terror, or that such a terrifying thing could be beautiful; it was inspiring. Later I went down, for the wounded, but not a shot was fired each had had enough. It was just midnight when I heard that old familiar sound the moans of the dying. "Most singular of all was the fact that a wire-repairer, a soldier who came into No Man's Land at night to mend the barbed-wire entanglements and sleeps or does as he wants back of the lines In daytime, had invited me to accompany him to the front trench on a sight-seeing trip that night. As Stull Holt, of New Tork, and I were on duty alone at th Post de 'Accours that night x couian t go. it l had. I would have been In that charged trench. The wire- cutter never returned. A young sur f?eon had gone and I hauled him back mortally wounded an hour later. Air Battles Viewed. "Today I am tired and restless. The most costly thing in war is success. If your battery, your regiment or In fantry. or anything, is especially effect lve, me enemy masses tor revenge against it. "In six days I have watched three Koche aeroplanes, one with three men in it and two with one man in each, defeated in air-fights and brought to the ground. One of the Boche aviators lives, being only slightly wounded. The others sleep on. Last night I watched a defeated plane descend to the ground nearby. One of the men threw out one of the two rapid-fire guns into a marsh as it came down. That was too obvious explosive bullets in magazine, no time to reload, and explosive bullets found In gun or on person mean a firing squad. But It was unnecessary. One fell to the ground from the up-turned plane from a height of about 30 feet, lie was dead, of course. I looked up at the other. He was horribly mangled. I opened his coat and read his name on his shirt. That was the third success in a small area In a short time suc cess, the Danger Mark. Many Bombs Dropped. "Later, about 10 o'clock, I heard 10 frightful crashes, and bombs weighing about 200 pounds each and containing the highest explosives known, were dropped about in the hope of getting a nearby anti-aircraft battery, soldiers in their quarters, buildings, everything in rever.se. One bomb probably would knock The Oregonian building into dust. "Later more fleets of airships came, and more bombs, each hour or so until nearing daylight. In nervous despera tion I ran to the anti-aircraft battery In pajamas, overcoat, shoes, helmet and with a gas mask. There stood Cap tain , similarly dressed, except for a helmet, on duty with his crew while watching his searchlight playing on the sky. The light is within th range, but not too close, for it might give the bombers the battery's lo cation. Of course, numerous rapid fire guns on tripods kept shooting at the aeroplanes, which are usually about a mile high. Most remarkable was Stull Holt, who sleeps on a cot next to mine he nevex woke up! I'd like to have his conscience. I simply had to go to the battery to keep my min employed. The other fellows did like wise, or else Just sat and waited "Where were the French aeroplanes In the Boche territory ding the sam tning, or in xne air looking zor Boche. That's war. "Aeroplanes are large, and seat on two or three men. They attain different speeds up to 125 miles an hour.

Nearly 500 men, women and children entire families were present In large numbers former residents of Douglas County now living In Portland enjoyed a perfect day of rest and recreation in Peninsula Park yesterday on the oc casion of the annual picnic and business session of the Douglas County Association of Portland. While the parents and older members chatted and visited, renewing acquaintances and talked over old times, the children took advantage of the playgrounds and went in for all the sportsof the season. At 11 o'clock a business session was held, followed by a basket luncheon from 12 to 2. This was one of the most enjoyable features .of the day. ' From 2 until 5 P. M., there were musical and literary numbers and an address by George M. Brown, Attorney General of Oregon and honorary member of the organization, on Douglas County, Its history and soma remin iscences. At the business session, the follow Ing officers were elected: President. J. C. Johnson; secretary. Lon L. Parker: first vice-president, C. Louis Barzee; second vice-president, I. D.

Both sides the Ger mans once occupied this territory have wonderfully scaled maps, and the photographs made by aeroplane ob servers are enlarged and set to scale then it Is easy to know where to shoot. "Some cannon shoot so far that the observers at the front line have time to telephone an alarm to a town say 20 miles in the rear, after the gun is fired, so that the residents may hustle into their dugouts, if very quick be fore the shell arrives. Large stetho scopes with quadrants In them tell the location of the planes at night. These are some not nearly all of the mod ern war Inventions. Aeroplanes carry wireless and are also signaled to by lights. If the Boche are using wire less code the French send music over theirs to 'ball them up." Fighting Best at Night. Another strange thing is the fact that night Is a good time psycholog ical! for the French. Inertia Is the wors thing for a soldier, as it gives him .ne to get homesick and brood over hardship. Danger and excitement awaken a fighting spirit of revenge in him. He naturally wants to get even; so it goes. Gruesome surprises are worse than anything. An ambulance man some time ago was carrying an empty stretcher in a "sap" to a trench. It was pretty dark. Suddenly he felt his ankle gripped, and looking down he saw the eyes of a dead man staring up at him. The man's stiff hand and arm lay so that the hand caught the ambulancier's ankle just for an Instant; but wasn't that enough? 'Now this is enough for one letter. I have not exaggerated one detail and have omitted the 'what happened.' You can, I hope, realize why I am glad to get The oregonian ana let my mind rift back to my friends in peaceful Oregon, washed by the clean water of the Pacific Ocean.

A for est fire which four weeks ago swept timber land in this vicinity, leaped frem smouldering embers into flame again today. With renewed vigor it burned on a seven-mile front, destroy- ng, it is reported, the plant of the Coast Counties Gas & Electric Company at Mill and Big Creeks, a number of houses and valuab.e timber. Despite the efforts of nearly 100 fighters, the fire, fanned by a high wind, was ap proaching the summit of Ben Lomond Mountain and threatening the Summer resorts of Ben Lomond and Brookdale. The fire covered today an area of 28 square miles. Tennyson's Poem Is Theme. Tennyson's poem "Crossing the Bar," and its message of faith in the immor tality of the human soul, was the theme of the evening sermon preached, yester day by the Rev. J. H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. In the course of his sermon Dr. Boyd made an mpressive reading of the poem, and at the close of the sermon it was sung in duet by Mrs. Leah Plusser Hathaway and Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller. Dr. Dammasch, at Fort Riley, Kan., Writes Regarding Camp Life. Ralph Sharkey and Frank Van Dorn Going to France. Dr. Ferdinand H. Dammasch, of Port land, coroner of Multnomah county, is one of seven Oregon doctors at the Medical Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Fort Riley, Kan. The Govern ment is sending nearly all civilian doc tors who enter the Army, egardless of their previous experience, to a training camp for a stiff course of training be fore commissioning them for active service. Doctors from Oregon at the camp, besides Dr. Dammasch, include Dr. W. Carlton Smith, of Salem; Dr. V. R. Ab raham, of Hood River; Dr. Frank Van Dorn, of Seaside; Dr. Ralph L. Shar key, of Portland; Dr. ieo W. Chilton, of Canyon City and Dr. A. T. Blach ley, of Portland. Of these. Dr. Sharkey and Dr. Van Dorn have been selected to go to France at once. In a letter to The Winged M Bulletin, the publication of the Multnomah Am ateur Athletic Club, of which he is a member. Dr. Dammasch writes of the camp as follows: "The half way period of our training camp for medical officers was reached July 14. They keep us going- here from early morning to late at night. The physical and mental effort would be strenuous in our temperate climate. but the heat and high degree of hu midity here make it almost unbearable at times. Believe me, my little old bunk looks good to me at night, and I do sure hate to part with it at 6 A. M. Yesterday afternoon we had our first big surprise. Company No. 1 was lined up. " 'All men wishing foreign service at once will report to the camp command er Immediately,' was the order. "Of 96 men n our company, 43 vol unteered. Of these, two were chosen Oregon heads the list with two; Cali fornia 1, Washington 1, Montana 1 Iowa 1, Oklahoma 1, Maryland 1, Kan sas 1. "The two Oregon men are Ralph Sharkey, of Portland, and Frank Van Dorn. of Seaside. The exact day of their leaving is not known, but will be within two weeks. Not even a leave of absence will they get before going. "About 350 medicos are here now, with 150 more due tomorrow. The camp will run six months in all, and 1,000 men will be trained."

A record crowd attended the closing performances. Friday afternoon "Nigger" George, one T0MAINE IS NOT CAUSE Sergeant Joseph Leo Died From Hemorrhage of Brain. GRAND ISLAND. Neb.. July 22. Major L. B. Sturdevant, of the Medical Corps of the Nebraska Federal Guard last night conducted an autopsy over the body of - Sergeant Joseph Leo, of Company M, Fifth Nebraska Regiment, and found that death resulted from hemorrhage of the bralr with slight traces of Indigestion. No traces of ptomaine poisoning, which at first was thought to have caused the death of Sergeant Leo, was found. Sergeant Leo became seriously 111 Friday morning and death occurred during the night. He had taken supper Thursday night at a restaurant with other members of Company M, and when his Illness was said to be pto maine poisoning, rumors were circu lated that other members of the Guard also were suffering from poison. No confirmation i f the reports that others were ill could be obtained from Guard officials tonight. Leo lived at Merna, Neb. Freight rates between the Paclflo Coast and the Orient are expected to go higher within the next few weeks. Shippers who have any considerable volume of cargo destined to Oriental ports are making haste to get their business under way before the increase goes into effect. Increasing cargo pressure and the shortage in ocean tonnage are given as the probable reasons for the pro posed advance. While the exact rate of increase has not been determined. It is likely to be substantial, say well in formed shipping men. Asiatic Tramp Steamers Come. Freight is moving In both directions in ever increasing volume, although the westbound movement is easier than the eastbound. This is said to be due to the presence during the last few weeks of a number of tramps on the Coast. While the principal advance Is due in the eastbound rates It Is probable the westbound rates will take a sharp jump at the same time. Custom house reports at Seattle and San Francisco reveal that an lncreas ng volume of merchandise and other goods are coming into the United States every month from Japan. Such commodities as crockery and steel tools that formerly were bought in great bulk in Germany and Austria now are coming from the Orient. Japanese Manufacturers Ambitions. Japanese manufacturers are exceed ingly active in their ambition to re place German competitors In the mar kets of the United States. It is prob able, therefore, that when the war Is over the German manufacturers will have to dislodge the Oriental goods be fore they can- regain their trade among American business men. In addition to the merchandise traf fic the movement of freight Into the Pacific Coast ports of the United States includes heavy consignments of rub ber, bean oil and other commodities largely used for military purposes. As soon as the great fleets of steel and wooden vessels now being built on the Pacific Coast are ready for serv ice the pressure for space may be somewhat relieved and the rates may sink somewhat, but shippers expect no material reduction until after the war SHIPBUILDER IS COMING LOGGING CAMPS ARE IDLE Employes of Guerrier Mill, East of Napavlne, on Strike. CENTRALIA, Wash., July 22. (Spe cial.) The employes of the Guerrier mill, several miles east of Napavine, went out on strike yesterday. Half the logging camps of Lewis county are now Idle as a result of the strike. Nine more I. W. W.'s were arrested yesterday by Sheriff Berry on charges of stealing rides on freight trains, mak ing over 20 arrested during the past week. Those taken Into custody yes terday gave their names as George Conar, F. L. Curray. Fred Luch, Phillip Flnklesteln, B. Miller, Laurence Mur ray, A. L. LeBarker and Val Smith. MOOSE AID BUILDING FUND Xearly 4 00 0 People Attend Picnic at Crystal Lake Park. Turning their fifth annual picnic into a means of raising funds for the pro posed new Moose building, the Loyal Order of Moose put in a delightful and profitable day at Crystal Lake Park yesterday.
