THE 3IOR.NI.NGr OKEGOXIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1917. SOLDIER WRITERS STIR UP CENSURE Private Letters to Relatives Published in The Oregonian Anger Colonel May. CENSORSHIP IS POSSIBLE Reorganization's Shifting: Hand Takes Kive Men From Major Mar ccllus' Command; Lieutenant Thrown From Horse. BV WILL G. MAC RAE. WITH THE 162D REGIMENT. CAMP GREENE, CHARLOTTE. X. C. Oct. 8. Going to town from Camp Greene is a luxury. Either that or it's a mighty long- and l ed-dusty walk. Negroes and a few whites are reaping a golden har vest, for they charge 5u cents a round trip. There are a few big truck ma chines making the run to and from camp for 15 cents,- but they are too few to bring the negro with his asthmatic tin Lizzy, or the white man with his ancient and honorable spring-halted machine to considering a reduction in price. Before going too deep into this letter let me put the stamp of official dis approval on the Private Lloyd O. Church and Private Vern I. Marshall letter. The young soldiers were over enthusiastic when they drew their pic ture of what the Charlotte people think of the Oregon soldiers. I will also hold a brief of what they think of the men from Wyoming, but it s hardly likely that any one of them "shot up a dance." Tf they did division headquarters did not hear of it. There is no Army record of such an event, and tf the Wyoming men had attempted anything like that, they would have been court-martialed and severely punished. The young man who wrote the silly rot to his father, while he no doubt has had a serious talk from his Captain, is not, according to Colonel May, who was made thor oughly angry, as much to blame as was the father for giving out the silly letter for publication. Censorship May Come. While it is not given out as coming from an authoritative source, it is understood that the printing of another letter containing such a distortion will result in a censor on all private letters written from the camp. There is talk now of establishing a censorship on all letters that are written, and the Church-Marshall kind of letters will do more to hasten such a censorship than anything. When The Oregonian of October 2 reached camp with the story and the quoted letter from Private Church, it made the second bad break an Oregon soldier has made. The other occasion was something that was written to a local paper and credited to an officer of one of the new Oregon units. Divi sion headquarters took official recogni tion of this and, although the officer made a denial of having written the letter, he was hauled on the carpet. It is not known yet whether official recognition is to be taken of the ChurchjMarshall letter or not, but it is safe to say that the young, soldiers will get a sharp reprimand from their cap tain. The 162d field hospital. Major M. B. Marcellus commanding, is the first Oregon unit to feel the shifting hand of reorganization. Major Marcellus has lost five men, and from the looks of things they are lost to him for good. He received an order requesting him to name a detail of six men, five pri vates and a non-commissioned officer, to be assigned to the 147th machine gun brigade. Those assigned were: First-class Private Kent- R. Wilson, who. upon going to the 167th, will be come a sergeant, and Privates Karl W. Moody. George Milton, Karl C. Goble, Kugene Solomon and Harold Arm etrong. Hoaxes for Families Scarce. Mrs. M. B. Marcellus and Major Mar cellus' mother reached Charlotte Fri day and will stay until the regiment is ordered overseas. Major Marcellus is having the same trouble finding a suit able place for the women folks to live as are the rest of the officers whose families have come here to be near their husbands as long as they can. They are temporarily stopping at the came house where are Lieutenant and Mrs. McAloney. who came with Troop A. until Major Marcellus can find time to do a little house-hunting. Because many of the officers and many of the enlisted men have brought their fam ilies to Charlotte, house or room-hunting is not going to be easy, for all choice locations have been taken. Taking the 10 motorcycle cars and drivers from the Machine Gun Com pany and putting them at division, brigade and regimental headquarters, has shot the company all to pieces. In dications are that those assigned to division headquarters are gone for good. They are apt to be kept on as dispatch bearers. The young soldiers selected for this detail certainly re flect credit, not only on the 162d, but upon the state of Oregon. Captain Kdward J. Kivers started on his judge advocate job today. He will be assisted by Lieutenant Jacob Feld-J man. captam a. v. Clayton, Battery A, is another Oregon soldier sitting on the court-martial board. Lieutenant Spaulddng has a young horse that he is breaking to be a soldier's mount. The second day he " was in camp he had occasion to ride the horse for the first time since the Supply Company arrived. The thou sands of negroes that are working in camp and the hundreds of madly dash ing automobiles was more than the nerves of the colt could stand. Lieu tenant Kpaulding had occasion to visit the lumber yard of the camp to see fl.hout some tent flooring. He man aged to get the colt to the lumber yard, but the horse worked himself into a frenzy while the Lieutenant was making arrangements about the floor ing. As he was about to mount to re turn to camp the shrill blast of an en gine frightened the colt and he bolted, throwing Lieutenant Spaulding vio lently to the ground. The injury- he re ceived is not dangerous. He is able to be about, but he has to hobble on crutches. neadlng Matter Wanted. Major Gilbert complains that none of the home folks have sent reading matter to this new camp and as there are a few of the Oregon soldiers sick and temporarily confined to the hos pital, he wishes they would get busy and send all of the magazines possible to him and he will see they reach the right parties. The War De partment, through the postal officials, has provided a small postal rate for reading matter mailed to soldiers. The people at home should use care in ad dressing all mail, for in the confusion mail is very apt to go astray. It should be addressed thus: In the left-hand corner the sender's return address, then to whom addressed and add. 162d Regi ment, 81 Brigade, 41 Division, Camp Greene, Charlotte. N. C.

Prasil. Company C, Eighteenth Railway Engineers, now serving abroad, who lately received a medal from the Queen of England, tells of his stay among the English in a letter addressed to his sister, Mrs. C. G. Applegate, of this city. H e says: "Yesterday I put in all day going over London. It is sure some village, old-fashioned and solid. Everything is very dull here; every woman you meet is in mourning. The people sure' treat us fine. "I sure have it over the most. Landed, in England Friday and had a per sonal chat with the King and Queen Saturday. Keep your eye on Pathe's Weekly in the movies and you will see me talking to them. Knclosed I send you a clipping out of the Sunday Illustrated Herald, showing me (your tramp) talking to the Queen. That is going some, don't you think so? "You see, we were challenged by the Royal Engineers to a tug-of-war at Aldershot at the military tournament, reviewed by the royal family. I got a game leg from the pull. "After the games the Queen gave us each a silver medal. As soon as I think it safe I will send you mine, so I won't lose it. 1 wouldn't take a farm for it. . "There are quite a few wounded American soldiers in England already. We don't know how many; in fact, we can't find out. There are lots of things we can't write, but after I get home you will know it all. "It seems funny that we are stationed now in barracks dedicated by Kaiser Bill in 1910." YARDS TO BE VIEWED C. R.

I am merely in Portland to acquaint my self with conditions in the wooden as well as the steel shipbuilding plants, so that I may furnish the shipping board with first-hand information concern ing the conditions on the Pacific Coast "Neither am I specifically Interested in the strike situation as it exists, be cause of my unfamiliarlty with the subject. I am anxious, however, to see the men and employers reach an agreement in a short time, so as to speed up the output of ships."

WEED TRACT IS FAVORED Agent Says He Will Leave Immedi ately for AVashlngton, Paris and Rome to Complete His Pro posed Tndertaking. Under the protection of the Vatican flag, 2200 Belgian refugees, to become colonists in Oregon, are to be brought across . from Rotterdam through the submarine zone and by way of the Panama Canal to Portland, according to James Slevin, who has been here several months making arrangements. He will leave tonight for Washington, where, he says, he will confer with President Wilson, later leaving New York for Paris, Rotterdam and Rome. Having contracted for a number of tracts in various sections of Oregon, Mr. Slevin will close up his affairs here today, preparatory to the long Journey, personally to bring back the Belgians, for whom he has been working here, according to his statement last night. "I had been intending some time ago to bring the Belgians here in small lots." said Mr. Slevin, "but have de cided it is best to bring them all to gether, as it will be more economical and better in other ways. "Inasmuch as this work is of a phil anthropic and constructive nature, be ing a broad charity and of benefit to humanity, I have decided to make ar rangements whereby the Vatican flag w'lll be flown on the trip through the submarine zone; no doubt it will be granted. "While in Rome arranging for a safe voyage for the colonists I shall take some more motion pictures of the Vati can, the Pope, etc., and upon my return here arrangements will be made where by Oregon people shall see these pic tures first. In Paris I shall ask my backers to appropriate money for the purchase of 21,500 acres of choice land, known as the Weed tract, 30 miles north of Klamath Falls, as I believe this to be the most practical place for a large colony." WORLD TRADE STUDIED CLASS IX' ECONOMIC GEOGRAJ'HY WILL BE ORGANIZED HERE. Members of Clans Will lie Required to Register an Students of I nl Ttnlly of Oregon.

Their registration cards will admit them to any of the other extension classes now being given in Portland by the university. The work will be conducted in the nature of a seminary and in order to preserve this idea it will be necessary to limit the number of students to probably 30 members. Many tentative applications already have been received, bankers, business men. professional men and other indi viduals interested in the development of import and export trade for the Northwest are eager to join. It is intended to study trade condi tions not in the world at large, but only in those parts of the world whose natural trade relations point in the direction of the Pacific Northwest. Spe cial attention will be given, therefore, to China, Japan, Russia and other Ori ental countries and to the west coast of South America. MAYOR BAKER SPEAKS BEFORE CROWD AT M'MIXXVILLE.

"You have given your boys to the service of the Government, now it is necessary that you help the Govern ment to care for their bodily wants," said Mayor George L. Baker, of Port land, in a patriotic address delivered to a large crowd at the City Park here this afternoon in the interest of the liberty loan. Mr. Baker thrust home the fact that the United Staes is in war with a pow erful and unscrupulous foe and that either a loan at this time or heavy tax ation soon is inevitable. He was fol lowed by R. W. Montague, of Portland, who explained the Investment features of a liberty bond. E. C.

OPTIMISM SERMON TOPIC War Produces Condition of Hysteria, Says Rev. Ward SlacIIenry. A hopeful outlook for the future was offered yesterday by the Rev, Ward W. MacHenry, pastor of the Mount Tabor Presbyterian Church, who preached to a large congregation on "Reasonable Optimism." "Let us not lose faith and hope; the war produces a condition of hysteria because of tremendous emotional strain and extra burdens," said Mr. MacHenry, "but rational optimism leads us in light of history, present conditions and future promise to see, not destruction of civilization, passing of Christianity and failure of democracy, but the sal vation -and cleansing of our civiliza tion from ancient and , intolerable wrongs of autocracy, serfdom and might. This optimism leads us to see the lifting up of Justice and right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happi ness for all men and a new era of Christian conquest and the dawning of a great day of liberty and democ racy for all mankind and a vast step toward permanent peace. "Rational optimism is based on knowledge of life, not ignorance: faith and facts, not cheerful disposition; the stimulus of definite accomplishment through hard work and careful prepa ration and fine vision, not on merely artificial stimuli and finally on life principles and convictions, not on petty or partial failure or success. "Intelligent view of our harbor, Co lumbia River basin, great resources in lumber, farm products, minerals, etc., convince hard-headed, far-seeing busi ness men that Portland has a great future and that optimism makes them big constructive citizens." FINDING IS OPERATIVE BIGHT-HOiR DELAYED, SCHED ULES BEING DRAWX". Wage Increase of About SO Cents a Day. Overtime Provisions Are Effective at Once. The finding of the arbitration board, in the controversy between the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company and its employes, becomes operative this morning, awarding the eight-hour day and an increased wage schedule approximating an advance of 20 cents per day. Although the agreement is presuma bly in effect, by the terms of the agree ment between company and carmen. several days will probably elapse be fore the eight-hour schedule will be in operation, owing to the delay incident to drawing it up. President Griffith, of the company, said last night that the work of draw ing up the schedules is in progress and will be expedited, but that no definite announcement could be made. The wage increase is now in full force, and the eight,-hour day will be in actual effect as soon as the necessary read justment of runs is made. Tentative schedules for the new runs, under the eight-hour day. were said to have been practically completed for several di visions soon after the board returned its ruling. Under the increased wage schedule. carmen in service less than one year will receive 3S cents an hour; more than one year and less than two years, 40 cents an hour; more than two years. 45 cents an hour. Time and a half will be paid for overtime beyond eight and one-half hours. There was no overtime provision in the old schedule, and the wage ranged from 28 to 34 cents. Whether or not the adoption of the eight-hour schedule will necessitate the employment of more men, has not yet been indicated by the company. STRAND RILL IS STRONG SIX BIC ACTS REPRESENTED IX VAUDEVILLE OFFERIXG. Photoplay Is Delightful Story of Two Orphans and Gallant Flsht of Elder to Stay With Sister. Augmenting the vaudeville half of the bill to six big acts, supported by the Butterfly photodrama, "The Girl Who Won Out," the Strand Theater made a new mark with its bill yester day. Stroud and Claire opened the vaude ville with a Mexican operatic burlesque. Margaret Carson, a handsome sing ing comedienne, who has some pretty dresses and knows how to wear them, made a hit with her popular and topical songs and Dale and Carreg had a char acter offering that was very popular. Barrett and Bayne are a duo with a dressy and up-to-date singing act, end ing with a prettily costumed Swiss spe cialty. The De Bell trio, two men and a girl, proved the premier laugh getters, with comedy and harmony singing. Something quite out of the ordinary in contortion work and balancing Is the offering of Davis Allison, the European acrobat who closes the vaudeville bill. Violet McMillan is starred in the photoplay, which is just a sweetheart story of the love of two orphan chil dren and the gallant and winning fight that the elder girl put up to keep from being separated from her baby sister.
