AUTOS BRING HARNEY MEN
First of 18 Troop Train From
California Points Scheduled to ""
Pass Through . Portland
I.ate Tonight.
The movement of another contingent
t drafted men to the Federal mobiliza
tion camp at American Lake has be
tun. Iilost of the 2S7 men Orepron is
to furnish on th-iu call, . which iB for
the third installment or the first draft,
were already on their way yesterday.
The first of IS Southern Pacific spe
cial troop trains bringing drafted men
from California points is scheduled to
pa ss through I'ortland late tonifcht. V
The troop movement will continue at
least until October 9 and probably con
siderably longer. 'as most of the states
re not as ready as Oregon with all
the men due on this installment, which
is for 40 per cent of the total Quota.
Hnr Will Not See Portland. -
As was the case- when the second in
stallment of drafted men were moving
to American Lakc several days ago,
only special troop trains coming over
the Southern. Pacific will actually pass
through Portland. Several big trains
over the Union Pacific system from
Utah, Idaho and Eastern Washington
points will pass near Portland. but will
be diverted direct across the Columbia
Kiver railway bridge at Peninsula
J unction.
The troop movement of several days
ago also included 40 per cent of the
total draft quota. A previous ' move
ment took 5 per cent of the draft quo
tas to American Lake, so that when
The present mobilization is completed
S per cent of the total number called
will be mobilized there.
Though no definite Announcement
"has been made as to when the remain
ing 15 per cent will be called to the
colors, it is understood their mobiliza
tion will begin by October 17.
Delay Was ConMiIercil.
One reason why the present move
ment will be considerably prolonged
is the fact that schedules for troop
trains were not ready until just before
the time the men were to be called.
As a result of this it was tentatively
considered for a time by the Provost
Marshal-General at Washington to de
Jay the whole movement seven days.
Orders finally were issued, however,
that those men who were ready in the
various states . should be sent at once,
while the remainder of those called
In this 40 per cent installment should
proceed to the mobilization camp at
the earliest possible moment in small
groups or as individuals..
In the case of Oregon, thanks to the
efficient preparations made by Adjutant-General
.White and carried- put by
the various local exemption boards
through the state, there will be no
delay. The last man of Oregon's' 40
per cent will ber at American Lake
by 1:15 o'clock Friday afternoon, if
trains are on schedule time.'
Oregron Itfru Are All Prompt.'
The men due there at that time as
the rearguard of Oregon's third in
stallment, will include 24 men from
"Malheur "County and a small contin
gent from Klamath County. All men
called from Oregon will have started
"by today, and most of them will have
arrived at American Lake.
Fifteen men from Harney County
are due at American Lake tonight a
whole day later than they had in
tended. The delay was no fault of the
drafted men, as they had to ride by
automobile 150 miles from Burns to
31end to take their -train. They ar
rived in Bond a few minutos after "yes
terday morning's train had pulled out,
but they will all board the train' leav
ing there at 7:15 o'clock this morning.

3. The arrival of the third quota of
18,000 drafted men at Camp Lewis bcr
gins Saturday, with a total of 564 from
Western Washington and Oregon, due
at the cantonment. The same system
of receiving the men that was em
ployed when the second quota of 18.000
arrived, will be used. Jt Is expected
that it will take 10 days for the third
quota to arrive. At the end of that
time there will be between 39.000 and
40,000 drafted men at the camp. The
rest of the draft, approximately, 7000,
will be at the camp by the end of this
month, when, with the other units,
there will be 50,000 men at the Army
post.
Arrivals Thursday will be 1S74. They
will come from Washington and Ore
gon points. Friday's arrivals will be
374S. and Sunday's 3225. Saturday's
arrivals have not been computed sq
far.
Transportation of the soldiers to and
from, Tacoma is one of the big probt
lems that will develop when the full
quota has reached the post. It has been
estimated that fully 45.000 will visit
Tacoma each week and the problem of
handling them has not been worked
out satisfactorily as yet. Ta help out
the situation the Northern Pacific Rail

HYPNOTISM OFTEN TRIED
This Method of Treating Soldiers
Afriicted Is Said to Be No Heal
Cure and Other Means Are
Xow Bcins Adopted.
By the Associated Press.
AMERICAN TIIANIING CAMP IN
FRANCE, Oct. Z. American medical
officers will devote the coming Winter
to a special study of the diseases pecu
liar to the war and war conditions, in
addition to hcir work at the forward
casualty clearing stations on the French
and British fronts.
At the casualty stations they will
get all the experience they desire in
the marvelous war surgery which has
made such raitid strides in the past
three years.
Shock to Be Studied.
One subject to which much atten
tion will be devoted will be that of
"shell shock," which has proved very
troublesome to both the British and
French medical officers. Neurologists
attached to the various American units
will study the problem at French and
British hospitals and afterward will
give lectures to their fellow medical
officers.
There Is no more piteous object in
the world than a man acutely suffer
ing from shell shock. Hypnotism is
being used frequently as a cure for
shell shock, but of late it has come
to be regarded as not a real cure. The
British have found that soldiers suf
fering from shell shock who do not
have hypnotic treatment invariably
get back to . duty quicker than those
who do.
Shell shock often causes deafness,
dumbness and blindness the effect of
the copcussion from an exploding mis
sile nearby. A man may be tossed about
by three or four shells without get
ting hit by a fragment or a splinter,
but the effect of this tossing always
tells on his nervous system. Some of
the worst shell shock cases have been
those where soldiers were burled under
the earth thrown up by huge projec
tiles. Such a burial does not always af
fect the men that way. It is related
that recently when an old British ser
geant was dug out from under a ton or
more of shell debris and asked if he
was hurt, he replied: "No, sir; I guess
not, but I am certainly strong for a
separate peace."
Shock Abaient tn His: Battles.
A remarkable thing about shell shock
cases is that none occur during a big
battle. The reason for this is plain.
In battle the men are buoyed up by
the great excitement and often become
absolutely oblivious to exploding shells
until actually hit. till ell shock comes
when the men are compelled to sit in
trenches for long periods or when
they are out on nerve testing patrol
duty between the fighting lines at
night and a big (lerman missile bursts
unexpectedly over them.
The treatment of shell shock cases
is often closely akin to that for tem
porary Insanity, Various phases of in
sanity will be a very important branch
of medical study this Winter while
the doctors are waiting for the Ameri.
cans to go into the trenches.

AMSTERDAM. Oct. 3. Dr. Bernhard
Uernburg, the ex-German Secretary of

sequel will be. he predicts, that the

Progreaa f the War.
SINCE the middle of last week the
German armies in Flanders daily
have been trying to wrest from the
British the territory taken from them
in the recent big offensive of Field
Marshal Halg.
As on previous days. Crown Prince
Rupprecht, of Bavaria, on Wednesday
unleashed large numbers of his troops
in an attempt to recapture terrain on
the Ypres sector, where the British are
seriously threatening his communica
tion line with Ostend and the subma
rine base at Zeebrugge. Ever watch
ful, the gunners of Haig again wrought
havoc among the attacking waves and
dispersed the Germans with heavy cas
ualties and retained all their positions
intact.
There still is no indication of the
time set by Field Marshal Haig for the
renewal of his effort to press en and
cut Off the Ostend-Lilla Railway, but,
he is steadily keeping up his pound,
lng of the German trenches with his
masses of artillery of all calibers.
Although the German War Office as
serts that in Tuesday's fighting along
the eastern bank of the Meuse in the
Verdun sector the Germans captured a
comparatively long line of French
trenches, the French official communi
cation makes no mention of this nnd
asserts merely that violent artillery
fighting and spirited patrol engage
ments took place.
While British and French airmen
continue their bombing operations
against Germany's submarine base at
Zeebrugge and points of military im
portance behind the lines, the French
aviators are keeping up their attack
on German towns and cities in reprisals
for the shelling by German aircraft of
tlie open town of Bar-Le-Duc. More
than 15,000 pounds of explosives art
reported to have been dropped on num.
erou German settlements, anions them
the famous town of Uaden, famed as a
health resort.
Likewise the Italians are giving the
Austrians little respite from aerial in
curslonE, again having dropped four
tons of projectiles on military objec
tives at Pola, the great Austrian naval
base on the Adriatic, arid bombed other
points of military advantage.
In addition the Italians have repulsed
decisively another Austrian attack on
the western slope of Monte San Gabri
ele, in the Geriaia sector.
Great Hrltain's loss of 13 merchant
vessels through attacks by submarines
and by striking mines last week was
the lowest since Germany started her
unrestricted submarine warfare in Feb
ruary. The embargo placed by Great Britain
on the exportation of all supplies to
Holland and Scandinavia was made on
the insistence of the American Govern
ment, so that its own embargo against
the neutrals, aiming at the cutting off
of shipments of all kinds to Germany,
should pot be nullified-
