CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma. Oct. 9.
"William McAdoo, Secretary of the
Treasury of the United States, carried
a. ir.essaRe from the Government of the
United States to 30,000 men of the Na
tional Army at Camp Lewis today. It
was the first review of a great body
of the men of the new Liberty Army.
"It's wonderful, tiiis army of men,"
Secretary McAdoo observed, looking
out across the parade ground at the
mass formation. "It makes a man's
heart beat faster and love his country
more. You've done a great work here.
General," he said, patting Major-Gen-eral
H; A. Greene, commandant, on the
bark, "a wonderful work."
"It's because I had the material,
that's all," General Greene rejoined
modestly.
"But they needed direction," Secre
tary McAdoo said.
The distinguished visitor was taken
to the '-camp by General Greene and
directly to the parade grounds, where
30,000 members of the new National
Army had been drawn in close forma
tion about a reviewing stand. With
them were Governor Lister and mem
bers of the general staff. As they
approached the stand. General Greene
Introduced Secretary McAdoo to Briga-
dier-Generals Foltz, Styer and Burr,
who were awaiting their arrival, and
the entire party took their places.
Infturnnce Law Kxplaincd.
In "urging the men of the National
Army to .subscribe for liberty bonds,
Mr. McAdoo said:
"Arrangements have been made with
the banks to loan money to men with
which to buy bonds. We are not ask
ing you men to buy bonds, but are
advising those of you who can. to pro
vide for your future welfare. I wish
to call your attention to the soldiers'
and sailors' insurance bill which Con
gress has just passed by unanimous
vote. This measure was approved by
the President and I had the honor to
present it to Congress."
The measure, he said, provides that
dependent wives and children shall
not be dependent on the charity of the
people of their community or relatives.
Under this act each married soldier or
sailor is obliged to Fet aside one-half
of his pay, which in the case of a
private amounts to ?15 a month, and
the Government will give the wife an
additional $15. In families where there
are two children, for instance, it
amounts to $32.50.
Legislation In Lauded.
"Never has there been no humani
tarian or just a measure passed by a
legislative body." Mr. McAdoo said. "In
case of death the Government will pro
vide for the wife as long as she re
mains unmarried and her children until
they reach the age of 18. Men who
are disabled will receive pay for life.
The Government is taking the most
advanced step for the benefit of sol
diers in the history of the world.
"When you men were called into
service, no insurance company in the
world would insure you at less than
a prohibitive rate, so your country de
cided to insure you. All men who
want to take out insurance must make
applicataion within four months after
entering the Army. You may take out
from $1000 to $10,000 and your pre
miums will run from $6.50 to $S per
$1000. The Government wants every
man here to take out $10,000 for those
whom he loves. Why should any sol
dier be a pensioner?"

If Too Fat Get
More Fresh Air
Eat All You Need, Including
' Candy Reduce Your
Weight Here's the Secret
Lack of fresh air, it is said, weakens
the oxygen-carrying power of the
blood, the liver, becomes sluggish, fat
accumulates and the action of many
of the vital organs is hindered thereby
The heart action becomes weak, work
Is an effort and the beauty of the fie
ure is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is un
healthy, and if nature is not assisted
in throwing it off a serious case of
obesity may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too stout take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become a joke and your health ruined
through carrying' around a burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend some time daily in the open
air; breathe deeply, and get from any
druggist a'small box of oil of korein
capsules; take one after ach meal
and one before retiring at night. Also
follow the simple directions that come
with the box.
A testing supply of oil of korein
capsules, with interesting ook, will be
mailed freo (in plain envelope) if you
write to Korein Company, 118 East
28th St.. 336 N.. New York. N. Y.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keen ud the treatment until you are
down to normal. Oil of korein is abso
lutely harmless, is pleasant to take,
and helps the digestion.
To those who realize that over-etout-ness
imperils health in numerous ways.
In addition to constant mental and
physical discomfort, this :uggestion to
try a efmple, harmless, reliable means
of probable speedy relief " should be
most welcome. Adv.

STRIKE IS SCORED
"Now No Time to Cavil Over
Unionism," Says Governor.
PLEA MADE FOR ACTION
Executive in Salem Address De
clares Shipbuilders Should Ac
cept Wage and Xot Block
Democracy's Movement.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 9.
Governor Withy combe in
-(Special.)
an address
delivered at a labor meeting held in
Willamette University chapel tonight
roundly scored striking shipbuilders of
the Pacific' Northwest, declaring "it is
no time to cavil over a petty question
of unionism or nonunionism."
"There should be no division, no dif
ference of opinion in this country now,"
he declared. "We should stand as a
solid body of red-blooded American
citizens, backing the Government and
the President.
"I had prayed that during my ad
ministration there would be no indus
trial strife, and I had hoped that in
this crisis, above . all times, that no
such strife would develop. This-Gov
ernment is in the most terrible peril
In its history, and its very foundation
depends upon the outcome of this con
test.
"Yet I see 7000 men in our own state
refusing to work simply to stand, up
for a principle which I have no hesi
tancy in declaring I believe is wrong.
I am opposed to the closed shop at this
time. I think every workingman
should put forth his supreme effort for
his Government.
"Now, of all times, is no time to cavil.
The laboring man should take his
wage (and it is a good wage) and he
should not stand up to block the great
movement that will lead the world to
democracy.
"I have been condemned for calling
out troops to Astoria, but men are per
ishing in the trenches for the need of
ships, and a large foreign element has
come into that city and this state to
tie up the shipyards, to hamper the
Government and to intimidate honest
labor. We must stand together now
and work with the last ounce of blood
in us and not cavil over the petty dif
ference between unionism and non
unionism." State Printer Lawrence, who pre
sided at . the meeting, said that the
American Federation, of Labor is stand
ing firmly behind the Government, that
it does not countenance strikes at this
time.
"I want you to feel," he declared,
"that organized labor as a whole is
full of red-blooded American citizens
who desire peace and democracy, but
not at the price of honor."
Postmaster Huckestein. of Salem,
also spoke and roundly condemned the
I. W. W. movement, asserting that this
organization is foreign to and detri
mental to organized labor. ' .
"No men regret the labor troubles on
the Coast more than the heads of or
ganized labor," he said.
The meeting was held to further the
interests of a new organization called
the American "Alliance for Labor and
Democracy, and a large number of peo
ple signed the pledge of such organi
zation. , .
ASTORIA STRIKE NEAR END

send armies. We cannot get supplies
in Europe.
"See the urgent necessity of action
quick, decisive, smashing, action at
once. The attitude of your ship car
penters and shipworkers in striking,
perhaps, is costing the lives of thou
sands and thousands of soldiers.
"We make this appeal to your free
dom, to your sense of fairness and your
manhood, for should the United States
not win this war, the privileges, ideals
and American standards may be lost.
You pi of it and live through these great
privileges of Americanism, and you
should work to maintain them."
While no formal action was taken
by the strikers, as the-meeting -was
an open one, tho general sentiment
among them appeared to be favorable
to accepting . the proposition. The
union will hold a meeting tomorrow
afternoon, when the question of settle
ment will be voted on.
STRIKE REMAIXS UNCHANGED
Portland Situation Depends Upon
Action of Federal Board, Relief.
With the San Francisco shipbuilders'
strike adjusted and 30.000 union men
returned to work; with the Seattle
situation partially settled and the Fed
eral labor adjustment board endeavor
ing to conclude industrial peace there;
with the Astoria tie-up virtually broken
by a patriotic appeal from Colonel
Dentler, Portland apparently stood still
yesterday, no effort having been made
so far as is known, to end the diffi
culties and get the workmen back to
the shops.
. While it was believed that the execu
tice committee of the Metal Trades
Council here would announce a mass
ated, it did not do so. A meeting the
regular daily one was held, but at its
close the members explained that no
such action had been taken.
Employers, represented in the Co
lumbia River Shipbuilders' Association,
held a meeting last night at the Mult
nomah Hotel, but issued no public
statement.
As to the union end of the situation,
there is a strong belief here that the
Portland leaders are getting into close
touch with the members of the Labor
Adjustment Board, headed by V. Ever
ett Macy, now holding sessions in Seat
tle. In fact, it is rumored that some
of the higher officers have been in per
sonal contact with the situation at
Seattle and it is believed here that
much depends upon the outcome of the
sessions there.
The last of the series of conferences
between the committees of employers
and representatives of the strikers, held
in the offices of G. Y. Harry, a Federal
mediator, adjourned with the employ
ers recommending to the union men
that they call a. mass meeting, lay the
facts before their affiliated membership
and then permit a secret ballot. It is
believed by many conversant with the
situation that the vote would be to
resume work.
Members of the Federal Adjustment
Board are directed by President Wilson,
personally, to investigate conditions on
the Pacific Coast.
The members of the board are: V. Ev
erett Macy, chairman; A. J. Berres and
Louis A. Coolidge, with Professor
Henry R. Seager as secretary. Others
in the party include W. J. Fahy, secre
tary to Mr. Coolidge; William Black
man, expert for the Emergency Fleet
I Corporation; F. S. Curtis, representing
the Navy Department: Judire John Rr-
ton Payne, general counsel for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation; W. J.

and folks' are again using it to keep
their hair a good, even color, which is
quite sensible, as we are living in an
age when a youthful appearance is of
the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though,- we don't have the
troublesome task of gathering the sage
and" the-mussy mixing at home. All
drugstores sell the ready-to-use prod
uct, improved by the addition of otner
ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" for about 60 cents
a bottle. It is very popular because no
body can discover it has been applied.
Simply moisten your comb or a soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears,, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound, is that, besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after a few applications,
it also produces that soft luster and
appearance of abundance which is so
attractive. This ready-to-use prepara
tion is a delightful toilet requisite for
those who desire a more youthful ap
pearance. It is not intended for the
cure, mitigation cr prevention of dis

New England has been called upon
to raise a minimum of 1300,000 000.
Thus far she has raised $35,546 000
Unreported subscriptions, it is esti
mated, will swell the total to $40,000,-
New York, including the New York
Federal Reserve District, has been set
down for a minimum of $900,000,000.
Tonight's total of actual subscriptions
was $250,874,600.
The Philadelphia reserve district-is
down in the official treasury appor
tionment for a minimum of $250,000,
000 and "expected" amount of $415,
000,000. Her actual subscriptions to
date are estimated at $50,000,000.
The Chicago district has a minimum
apportionment of $420,000,000 and an
expected amount of $700,000,000. Up to
last Saturday $25,000,000 had been sub
scribed and $25,000,000 more pledged.
These four districts are expected bv
the Treasury to take a minimum of
$1,870,000,000 in bonds. They have
taken thus far an estimated total of
$390,000,000. This is $1,4S0,000,000 less
than the lowest sum expected of them
for the entire campaign. It is $220,
000,000 less than one-third of the min
imum (one-third of the campaign hav
ing passed) and to make up their mini
mum it will be necessary for them to
subscribe at the rate of $92,000,000 a
day, or nearly twice as much as they
have been subscribing for daily to date.
Officials of the Treasury Department
are pressing every reserve bank to
speed up the campaign and get sub
scriptions early. New York is vir
tually the only reserve district within
hailing distance of the daily -average
which should have been maintained.
Among these is Minneapolis, where
accurate figures hardly will be avail
able before next Monday; St. Louis,
wnere managers ot the campaign
would not estimate the amount of sub
scriptions; Atlanta, where solicitors
have been instructed to send in their
first figures tomorrow, and Dallas,
