THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, SATTTRDAY. SEPTEMBER 22, 1917. TROOP MOVEMENT" CONTINUES HEAVY Thousands of Soldiers Pass Through City Daily on Way to Camp. MANY TAKE MEALS HERE TVelcome Given All Troopers on Ar rival and Lunch Boxes Are Dis tributed by Red Cross Canteen. More drafted men passed through Portland yesterday en route to the Federal mobilization camp at American Lake. They came from Oregon. Cali fornia. Idaho and Eastern Washington. Including one train that passed through at 12:30 o'clock this morning, there were three special troop trains. The other drafted men came in detach ments on regular trains. One troop special arriving at 7 o'clock ever the Southern Pacific, from Calif-r-rtia. carried more than 600 men. They were marched up to the Multnomah Ho tel for breakfist. and if they fared as well at other points as they did here, traveling to mobilization camp is a round of good things to eat. Luring the day small detachments of men arriving at meal times on rearu lar trains were marched up to the hotel to eat. About 100 men in detachments were served in the course of the day. Drafted men arriving' in detachments or on special trains at other than meal times were not sent to the hotel, but continued their Journey without stop. . Arrangements had been made by the Government to feed them at other points. Surprise for Troopers, For each of these men. however, the Portland branch of the Rod Cross can teen had a pleasant surprise in the form of a special lunch box filled with victuals enough to carry them to the next stop. The lunches were not in tended to take the place of regular meals, but as fillers, so to speak. Bach box contained an individual ap ple pie, two cookies, a cup-cake, piece of cheese, one peach and a handful of candy chews. Fred Strong, head of the Red Cross reception committee for sol diers, was assisted in distributing the boxes at the depot by 16 bank clerks who volunteered their services. Two special trains arriving at 10:30 P. M. and 12:30 o'clock this morning, over the Southern Pacific, did not stop In Portland for dinner. Every man on the two trains, however, received one of the Bed Cross canteen's lunch boxes. The first of these trains brought 479 men. and the next one 662. Still another special troop train passed through Portland at 3 o'clock this morning. It carried 472 more California drafted men. Several more troop trains are sched uled to arrive today. The first, due at 6 o'clock, is already so late that its time of arrival has been changed to 8:30. Another train will arrive about noon, and a third at 7 o'clock P. M. lien on these trains, which are coming over the Southern Pacific, will go to the Multnomah for meals. A programme has been arranged for each meal. The men taking breakfast will hear an invocation by Archbishop Christie. At noon the Rev. John H. Boyd will give the invocation, and Rabbi Jonah B. Wise at 7 o'clock. Boys t Be Welcomed Mayor Baker wijl be there to extend the welcome of the city to the drafted men. A musical programme is to be given, at which Miss Mamie Helen Flynn will sing "The Star-Spangled Banner." The Portland Municipal Band al-so will play. At 7 o'clock Sunday another b.eak fast will be served at the Multnomah to 533 troop arrivals. Again at 7 o'clock Monday and at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday, breakfasts are scheduled for contingents of about 600 men each. J. H.

Drilling Continues Despite Extra Labors. BY WILL G. MACRAE. WITH THE THIRD (BEAVER) REGIMENT OREGON IXFAW TRT. Sept. 21. (Special.) This was the last day for town "farewell ing" meaning that tomorrow and Sun day will be devoted to loading and there will be so passes issued, for all hands will be needed either loading the combat wagons at camp or at the depot putting the equipment on board the cars. If old J. Pluve stays off the Job. It Is probable that the only squad tents which will remain standing will be the company that is to remain at camp part of the First Battalion. The orga nizations which will leave Monday will bivouac and use their "pup" tents. The company to remain at camp with Cap tain Bramsted and his quartermaster sergeant has been designated, but be cause it is not permissible to print a war "Who's Who." the letter number of the company will not be divulged. In all of the excitement of bidding farewell and the Inrush of loading the large amount of equipment necessary for a regiment, the lay person would naturally think there would be a let down in the drilling and carrying out of the weekly schedule. Nothing of the sort has taken place this week. The only ripple on the surface of doing things broke when some of the soldiers hastily entrained and were hurried to Astoria. The only ripple that troop movement caused was the very notice able decrease in the number of com panies that had the appearance of be ing gray ghosts as they appeared and disappeared in the extremely heavy fogs which have characterized each morning of this week. m Company commanders were not slow to take advantage of the heavy fog. For several hours each morning the weather was extremely "dirty." and as this is the kind of weather they fre quently have on the French front, com pany commanders came as near giving the men under them the thrills of real trench storming as could be given without the noise of exploding rifles and cannon. At one spot on the drill ground an Incline of boards has been built to resemble the approach of a trench. Before this incline is reached a series of wire entanglements with plain wire Instead of the barb kind have been erected. Some of the en tanglements are built shoulder high, some waist high and some are cun ningly concealed in the grass so as to RAIN GREETS TROOPS California Conscripts Glad to See "Oregon Mist." LUNCHES GIVEN TO MEN Red Cross Canteen Makes Hit by Distributing Food and Wins Ap preciation of Travelers on Wa y to Cam p Lewis . Raindrops were Just beginning to patter on the tracks when a long: 14 car troop train, carrying: 497 drafted young; men from Los Angeles. River side and Orange County, Cat., stopped at the Bast Side station shortly be fore 11 o'clock last night. The stop had been ordered by the railroad authorities to enable the Port land branch of the Red Cross canteen to distribute lunch boxes to the men. There was a delighted scramble for the lunch boxes, but to some of the Cali- fornians the rain was almost as Inter esting as food. "Rain! Rain! " they said, and readi ng out their hands, let the raindrops wet them. Some of them even tasted it to make sure it was real water. "We don't have much of this down below remarked one of them. "Guess this must be Oregon, all right." Portland won a big place In the hearts of the Californians through the activity of the Red Cross canteen in supplying the box lunches. Their ap preciation did one good to see. "Thanks, awfully," and "This is fine, and "Bully for Portland were some of the expressions heard. Portland Wins Clteers. The men of one car. some leaning out of the windows sleepily, others stand ing outside to get a whffC of fresh air and to stretch themselves, gavi three ringing cheers for Portland. "We certainly do appreciate this said one man, a moving picture actor from one of the Los Angeles studios. There were several young moving pic ture actors in the contingent, and a lot more will be through on the train due early this morning, which will bring drafted men from the Hollywood dis--ict. The box lunches were brought from Red Cross canteen headquarters. Sec ond and Stark streets, in three automo biles by Fred- Strong, Roy Dobfe and Thomas West. They were assisted in distributing them by Henry Isaacs, G. A. Wiederhold. Louis Camplan, Gray Kyle and Lloyd Lawson. Loaches Are Distributed. In the meantime Sim Bennett, Stephen Austin, Joseph Cosgrove, Frank Bates and E. A. Shearer remained at the Union Station, where shortly be fore midnight they passed box lunches around to til more men coming in two special cars from California, attached to train No. 14. The first troop train did not go to the Union Station, but to save time was switched to the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany's tracks at the east end of the Harriman bridge, and thence direct to the Interstate bridge and on its way to American Lake. That was why the ailroad authorities had it stopped at he East Side depot by request of the tied Cross canteen long enough to let the men get their box lunches. MINISTER, 80, HONORED Friends of Rev. Mr. Boncrsox Pay Tribute to Tears of Service. Friends gathered at the Ockley Green Evangelical Church last night to honor Rev. Josiah Bowersox on the SOth anniversary of his birth. Rev. Mr. Bowersox has been a preacher. and an evangelical missionary of Oregon for 47 years. He was born in Union County. Pennsylvania, in 1837. For seven years he preached in dif ferent parts of Pennsylvania, and in 1870 he came to Oregon and settled in Salem. For five years he remained in Salem and then spent a number of years in Albany and orvallis. After that he became a mcm'ier cf the Kvan gelical Conference, traveling' back and forth along the Coast from furthest California parts into the Puget Sound district of Washington. Fourteen years ago he settled In Portland and began preaching la Al catch the toe. ' Taken in the fog and an 8 A. M. light, get-over or through these entanglements requires consider able skill; that is. it requires skill and keen eyesight to avoid very painfully barked shins or body bruises. Getting through the wire is not the only task, the steep grade of the trench must be negotiated. One of the big things the Captain tells his men to avoid is not to be out of breath after arriving at the trenches. It is no place for a "winded" man. This morning while the fog was so thick those at drill put on a little extra steam and things waxed fast and furious and the show was worth watching. Of the four members of Major Mar cellus' regimental hospital staff that took the examination for sergeants in the hospital corps. Jean B. Seabrook. son of a prominent Portland attorney, and Walter E. . White, of McMinville, have received their warrants from the Department of Surgery of the Western Department. While every member of the field hospital is working hard to obtain the necessary 15 recruits be tween now and Sunday night, it is not believed that the full quota'will be en listed until after the regiment arrives at Charlote. N. C. Major Marcellus has received a number of telegrams from different points in the state announc ing that the senders would arrive in camp Saturday for medical examina tion.' There is a Second Lieutenant's union in the Third Oregon. Ask any of the officers from the First Lieutenants up to the head of the regiment. They know all about the initiation into this union and some of them cannot think back over their initiation without sud den attacks of the blind staggers. There has sprung into being another military union that while it may lack a little in pulling real thrillers as Ini tiation stunts, its members can give the new member a touch of high life. The other day Sergeant Probstel, Com pany K, was warranted a sergeant. Company K is a member of the new union. Sergeant Probstel had to be in itiated. The little stunt was done quietly. About an hour after taps, "some boys" entered Sergeant Prob stel's squad . tent there must have been four, for they picked up Sergeant Probstel. straw mattress and all. car ried him out into the company street and deposited him, and let htm sleep out in the fog and the open air until first call in the morning. bina.

CLOSE SUPERVISION OF PRODUCTS ASKED Business Men Urge Fixing of Prices and Priority of Manufacture and Sale. CENTRAL BUYING PROPOSED War Council at Atlantic City Rec ommends Labor Standards Re main TJnchanged and Labor Board Be Named. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. Sept. 21. Government price-flxing of all essen tial products, not only in sales to the Government but to the public as well, was recommended in resolutions adopted today at the closing session of the war convention of American busi ness men. The convention advocated legislative creating of a Government general purchasing department, which, in addition to fixing of prices, would have power to distribute the output of Industries in a manner most necessary to the conduct of the war. Tt is the spirit of American busi ness." said the resolutions, "that how ever fundamental may be the change in the relation -of government to business, the Government should have the power during the war to control prices and the distribution of production for pub lic and private needs to whatever ex tent may be necessary for our great National purpose." The purchasing department proposed would absorb the present war indus tries board and the functions of the direct or of priority. The present power of the Government to control priority of shipment would be ex tended to include authority to direct priority of manufacture, sale and dis tribution. All buying now done by various bureaus of the War and Navy Departments would be centered in the new board. The convention recommended assist ing the Government in making pur chases by the formation of a general committee of industry, representing all branches of business which would aid the purchasing department in distrib uting orders. This committee would handle much of the work now done by committees of the Council of Defense. The attitude of business and labor was defined in resolutions recommend ing that labor standards remain un changed and that a labor adjustment board be named to handle all major disputes. The declaration was made for industry that it indorse a policy of no lockouts or strikes while dif ferences were before the board and labor was urged to take a similar stand.

SMITH EXPLAINS HOPES OF NON-PARTISAN WORKERS. State-Owned Packlos Plants and Ele vators, and State InsnraB.ee, Said to Be Among Alms. Aims of the Non-Partisan League and its relation to the insurance field were outlined by Robert E. Smith, of Rose burg, publisher of the Tax Liberator and a member of the Insurance Federa tion of Oregon, to Portland insurance men at the Oregon Hotel yesterday. He explained that the league is in many respects similar to the old Farm ers' Alliance, which flourished about 25 years ago. Mr. Smith said that the league now has 67,000 members in North akota and a large membership in South Da kota, Minnesota. Montana and Idaho. This Winter the movement will be ex tended to Oregon, Washington and other states, he said. "The work of organization in the Northwest," Mr. Smith declared, "has been delayed by the shortage of com petent organisers. It is said that the league plan for Oregon Includes state owned elevators, state-owned packing plants and warehouses.-state-control of the instrumentalities of marketing, state insurance of all kinds, state guar antee of bank deposits and a measure to limit Interest rates to 6 per cent. The league campaigns in other states have been carried on secretly as long as possible and I believe this method probably will be followed In Oregon ana that tne first move to obtain tangi ble suits will be an effort to con trol the next Legislature by quietly pieaging candidates to tne league pro gramme." lea Pr "19 1 fcl "Hi U 'Ml CANDY Wood-Lark Chocolates, full pound, OQ- In neat carton, special at... 07 C Bishop's Napsack Rations, for the Cfl soldiers at, each. ..................

ALEXIEFF QUITS M. Tcherenusoff, Democrat, New Chief of Staff. CAUSE OF CHANGE UNKNOWN Sew War Minister, Verkovsky, and Xew Chief of Staff, Will Carry Out Policies Determined by Premier Kerensky. PETROGRAD, Sept. 21. General Alexieff has resigned-as chief of the general staff and in his place has been appointed M. Tcheremisoff, whose pred ilections are highly democratic. The appointment of M. Tcheremisoff is the signal for drastic reforms, but -the im mediate motive for a change in the incumbent of the post is not publicly known. One report is that General , Alexieff resigned in order to free the hands of Premier Kerensky, with whom he con sented to take the post on the condi tion that the new cabinet would be a coalition one, and which condition Pre mier Kerensky failed to bring about. Another explanation is that General Alexieff was not in agreement with the Premier regarding the Iatter's plans for clearing out the higher staff and ef fecting a general reorganization, Pre mier Kerensky having insisted on the dismissal of all higher officers guilty even of passive BUpport of General Korniloff or suspected of counter-rev olution intentions. Premier Kerensky's policy will be executed by the new War Minister. Ver kovsky, and the new chief of staff, M. Tcheremisoff. MEN MARCH IN ONUS BATTALIOJT FORMATION MAKES AP PEARANCE AT CAMP LEWIS. ' Arrival of Drafted Men Makes It Pos sible to Give New Officers Their Commands. TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 21. Battalion formation made its first appearance at Camp Lewis today with units of 400 and 600 marching and taking part in set ting up exercises. The almost hourly arrival of trains with loads of recruits ceased to be the center of interest. Officers who heretofore have con fined their attention mainly to "paper work' are now being given their com mands. No complicated maneuvers have been attempted yet, the battalion drills so far consisting mainly in marching In a straight line or in a large circle. One of the leg movements calculated to give greater endurance in marching is a modification of the Ger man goose-step. Arrivals today were from Wyoming, Idaho. California. Oregon. Montana and Utah. Washington troops included 28 from Walla Walla, 80 from Franklin, 107 from Yakima and 36 from Kittitas counties. Instructions received by Major-Gen-eral Greene from the War Department today says that colors, standards and guidons will not be carried into battle in the present war by the United States forces. They will be taken to France, but left well in the rear. Athletics for every man is the slogan Major-General Greene has given out for the recreation camp. It is said 685 athletic teams are already organized and a regimental football team will play a team from the Washington State College in the Tacoma Stadium Octo ber 13. Annapolis Attendance Large.

At the weekly luncheon of the City Club, held yesterday noon at the Hotel Benson, Franklin T. Griffith, presi dent of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, spoke at length on the traffic situation in this city and the request of the street railway employes for increased wages. Mr. Griffith cited figures to show that, under present conditions, the in crease could not be borne by the com pany, and unheld the necessity for an increase to the 6-cent fare, if the re quest is to be granted. He contrasted the splendid service given in Portland with that of othi - cities. Pianist Gives Brilliant Re cital at Heilig. Francia RJchter Arouses Enthusiasm . of Audience. BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. WHEN you hear Francis Richter playing in piano recital it is like walking In a fragrant garden of roses. Human sense is intoxicated. Cold rea son, for once, capitulates. Francis Richter's wonderfully fash ioned piano playing creates a wonder ful mind picture. It takes you into another world, far away from mundane affairs into that of artistry. Mr. Richter, Portland's piano star, gave the first of two piano recitals last night in the Heilig, and won a splendid artistic success, and .the en thusiastic audience, -by its long-continued applause at proper times, signi fied that it was of that opinion. But that audience, although cordial, was not as large as the excellence of the recital warranted, and there were only two or three box parties. This should not be. Mr. Richter is giving two piano re citals at the Heilig to raise funds suffi cient to enable him to try his luck in going to New York City, where he might make his new home. Mr. Richter will give his second re cital at the Heilig this afternoon at 2:30 o clock, and he ought to be greeted by a Large audience of his many Port land friends and admirers. The Richter programme last night consisted of gems from the classics of Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, Franck, Brahms, etc. They were all exauisitelv played, with the power and finish of a master. Franck's "Prelude, Choral et Fugus," was the opening number, and It lived again in new virility. The Gluck-Brahms "Gavotte" and the "Ron do," from a serenade for a string quar tet, by Mozart-Richter, were note'd for pretty delicacy of quiet treatment and real poetic concept of tonal values. The Beethoven sonata "Waldstein" is ever a loved, familiar selection for per formance, and It did not suffer in the least at the hands of Mr. Richter. It was interpreted as a floral pattern of beautiful color and haunting melody. Five familiar studies from Chopin lived In stately, dignified beauty. Mr. Richter's own contributions. "Album Leaf" and "Rondo." are really worth hearing.
