Course of Work for Men at Presidio Proves Stren uous at First. Viscount Tells Representatives Friendship Will Rise Su perior to Intrigues. MORE HOPEFULS ARRIVE WORDS OF PEACE CHEERED THE MOKXING OREGONIAN, THUKSDAT, SEPTEMBER 6, 1917. Only About One-Half of Number at Camp Are Slated to Get Is Due Soon. RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP, Presidio, San Francisco, Sept. 5. (Special.) If about one-half of the 48 student officers who came from Portland or one-half of the 131 Orego itians who trekked to 4San Fianclsco latf! in August return without ehoulder straps and with a dejected sort of look about them, the home friends need not feel startled or even mildly surprised. One of the commanding officers in formed his company the other day that tinder present instructions only about 48 men from each company of 110 or 120 men would be commissioned at the close of the three months of intensive training'. Practically 75 per cent of the 1600 students in camp have had military ex perience. Most of them are graduates of Rome National Guard organizations. There are dozens of ex-National Guard Captains and Lieutenants at the camp. About 50 of the regiment attended the first camp and now are receiving their second course of Instruction. In addition to these are 200 or 300 sergeants and corporals from the reg ular Army and it Is no job at all to spot them with their highly bronzed countenances and the military pre cision of their movements. The course of work for the first ten days has been very stringent. Many of the students in training came here soft from offlce work and these men are finding the going very rough and dis couraging. The daily work usually starts at 5:15 with the bugle to doff ajatnas for the morning assembly. Breakfast follows In jigtime, and then the setting-up exercises which Initiate a. full, strenuous day. Occasionally a man Is forced to drop out of line through fatigue, but most of the students stand the gaff in fairly good shape. Lugging a ten-pound gun and a heavy knapsack Isn't conducive to a. cheerful grin, however, when one Isn't hardened to the task. After an other fortnight of the grind the stu dent officers probably will not mind it a bit. ... Another contingent of students en tered the camp today, these having been selected some time ago. The bars now are down and nobody can break in with a hand grenade, according to f'oloni-1 Frederick Sladen. officer in charge. Already the elimination board has been busy. Eight "resignations" have been reported. No alternates are being admitted, however, in place of the men discharged. This will be bad news to the alternates who have been anxiously awaiting, summons. All students caught In the draft prior to admission to the training camp have been required to report to their company commanders. Certificates of suspended action will be forwarded to their respective examining boards. Frank Dudley, well-known Waverley golfer, paid a flying visit to the camp the other day, prior to leaving for "somewhere." Mr. Dudley successfully weathered the course of study .at the Government aviation school at Berke ley and now is ready for the final touches, which may be applied In the East or in England or in France. He knew not whither he was to- go. Another ex-Portland man who en joyed a visit with some of his old friends was Dr. Louis J. Wolfe, now a First Lieutenant in the Navy. Ho is stationed in San Francisco temporarily. Three weeks hence, when the student officers at the Presidio camp are hard ened, the men will be required to dig trenches and live in them. It is prob able that all will be required to stick a week in the trenches so as to get a good idea of what the sensation is like. Grenade and bombthrowing with real grenades and bombs will follow in quick succession. Tho infantrymen have been drilling for more than a week with the rifle and bayonet and the course now has passed, through the manual of arms, school of the squad, platoon and com pany to the school of the battalion. This will give the layman an idea of how fast the pace has been. Some days the students have been assigned 100 pages in the infantry drill regulations alone. And besides this there are in numerable other texts to be explored. The artillery batteries, too. are going ahead at a dizzy pace. Already the boys have learned the nomenclature of the big guns and the rudiments of the duties of cannoneers and squads. . The Smith family Is well represent ed in camp, there being 21 Smiths en rolled on the books. The Joneses come next with 14. Captain Peyton, instructor in one company, took a poll of his company vocations. Lawyers seemed to be in the majority. Twenty-three out of 112 men in tho room were legal lights. There were 10 bookkeepers, four civil engineers, one grocer, two mining. en gineers, one architect, one draftsman, and so on. There wasn't a. minister in the company. Captain Peyton is one of the noted rifle instructors of the Army and he has given his company several valua ble talks on rifle shooting in connec tion with the shooting drills. .. Major Herman J. Koehler, master of sword, arrived Monday to instruct the embryonic officers in calisthenics and bayonet exercises. "He knows more about setting-up exercises than any man in America," said Colonel SLaden. "The Major can put so much "pep' into a company that the men want to drill at double time." Major Koehler was an instructor at West Point during the three years in which Colonel Sladen was commandant. MEAT DEMAND TO BE MET Advisability of Moving Stock to East and South Discussed. WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. Secretary Houston today opened the conference of the United States livestock industries committee, called primarily to dis cuss the advisability of removing breeding stock from the West to the Kast and South, where more rough food is procurable. The committee, comprising 100 cattlemen and stock experts, is going over its plans today with officials of the food administra tion and Department of Agriculture. One of the chief problems confront ing the conference is the necessity of devising means to stimulate increased production to meet the growing meat RUSSIA! PREMIERE DASSEI SE APPEARING AT PANTAGKS.

Viscount Ishii delivered Japan's message of friendship and co-operation to the United States before the House of Representatives today. In company with the other members of the Japa nese mission. He gave a solemn warn ing that enemies of both countries were working to estrange them and expressed his confidence that the friendship of the nations would prevail over the intrigue. Introduced by Speaker Clark, in a few words. Viscount Ishll was received with a great demonstration from the floor and crowded galleries. He said In part: "We come to bring to you the mes sage of our Emperor, which gives you assurance of the comradeship and the co-operation of Japan. Wo are here to say that, with the other allies, we heartily welcome the advent of the United States in the fields of France and elsewhere. "We bring to you assurance of sup port, unselfish, without a motive other than the common force that drives us all today. Treachery Demands Attention. "Yours are vast resources; ours may be small, but we can say to you that the spirit of Japan burns as ardently and will last as long as may be .de manded in this war. "Japan has exerted herself with the spirit of loyalty to her allies, her Em peror and to her homes, following the Ideals of our national life. Like the people of America, those of Japan have remained permanently independent be cause of a real patriotism which, when the occasion demands, never falls. "Treachery from within, indeed, at this hour, calls for our attention. While your soldiers leave their families and their homes to fight on tho blood stained fields of France, we must guard our-landmarks as you will guard yours against treachery that has found hid ing places in our midst and which for the last ten years has sown the seeds of discord between us. "Words of Peace Cheered. "Mr. Speaker and gentlemen of the House of Representatives, we have been climbing a mountain toward the stars by difficult and sometimes devi ous pathways, but near the summit our roads shall join and, together, we shall win into the full sunlight above the clouds." Speaker Clark spoke in part as fol lows in introducing Viscount Ishii: "The Empire of Japan is our Western neighbor. They hold one side of the Pacific and we hold the other, and every right-thinking man in the Em pire of Japan and the Republic of the United States hopes that peace and amity and friendly relations will al ways prevail among these -two great powers." Every remark touching on the friend ly relations of the two countries made by either Speaker Clark or Viscount Ishii precipitated tremendous applause. One reference to continued peace be tween the two nations threw the House into an outburst that lasted several minutes. Centralia Police Judge Dead. CENTRALIA, Wash., Sept. 5. (Spe cial.) G. C.
