by the strikers as they sped by In
streetcars, each guarded by two police
on the front and rear platform. At one
point a number of strikers rushed a
streetcar and Jerked the trolley off the
wire, but the hluecoats aboard the car
and in the street kept order until the
car was again started.

cealed about his clothing. He was
taken into custody, charged with car

could not produce registration cards.
The trio of alleged slackers are Allen

Police Captain Moore first received
Intimation that the striking shipyard
workers would concentrate their ef

frcm the night reliefs, went to the as

pretation from the State Superintend
ent and Commissioner of .abor.

SILVER. DOLLARS SCARCE
Dollar Bills Also Short Enough to
Worry Army Paymaster.
CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma. Wash., Oct.
15. (Special.) Scarcity of silver dol
lars and currency of like demonination
in Pacific Coast banks is worrying the
paymaster's department . as to how to
pay the men being discharged. Not
less than $75,000 in silver dollars or
bills is needed for "the October muster.
The reason assigned is that with
silver quoted around 884 cents an
ounce and a dollar containing 90 cents
worth of silver, many persons are
hoarding their money to melt into
bullion when the price of silver tops
the amount in the standard coin.

PETROGRAD, Oct. 15. German bat

fenses of Petrograd at the entrance to
the Gulf of Riga.
Fighting for the possession of Oesel
Island continues. Arensburg, Its capi
tal city, has been occupied by the
enemy.
Naval and air forces are energetic

and are attacking the north and the
south of the island. The south squad

and trawlers attempted to force the
entrance to Irbe channel. Its further
movements into the Gulf of Riga are
covered by Russian long-range artil
lery from the island of Oesel.
Naval Battle Takes Place.
The northern group of German war
ships dispatched a squadron of torpedo
boats between the islands of Oesel and
Dago which pressed back Russian pa
trol boats In the direction of the Moon
sund. Russian naval forces, reinforc
ing the patrol boats, accepted battle
and the enemy retired.
A third group of enemy warships.
consisting . of cruisers and torpedo
boats, approached the southwestern
coast of the Island of Oesel and bom

submarines were observed several times
at different places in the Baltic.
Exodus From Petrograd Increases.
The exodus from Petrograd. which
has been noticeable since the fall of
Riga, has greatly increased. Since Sat
urday the ticket offices' have been be
sieged, many persons offering large
premiums for tickets. The situation is
aggravated by rumors which are
branded officially as unfounded, that
passenger traffic will be stopped short
ly, in view of the expected evacuation
by the government.
No extensive evacuation is looked
for, as no immediate danger threatens
the capital. The new front is still 300
miles distant, and roads are impass
able. It 's not believed a landing in
Finland will be attempted, owing to
the scarcity of supplies there, and to
the fAct that provisioning would be
rendered difficult, with Winter ap
proaching, by the sea's freezing.

PATRIOTIC ARDOR ABOUNDS
John IT. Stevenson, Orator, and 3. I.
Etherldge, Investment Specialist,
in Tour Financed by Eric V.
. Hauler, Using His Motor.
The "million-dollar special" is flash
ing across Central Oregon" like a
meteor, leaving a golden trail of liberty
bonda'in its wake.
Advices received yesterday at liberty
loan headquarters from John H. Stev
enson and John Etherldge, who are
orators of the motoring dash financed
by Eric V. Hauser, of the Hotel. Mult
nomah, assert that wayside and town
meetings are marked by the utmost en
thusiasm, and that subscriptions are
tumbling in at every halt.
Bead la Readied.
Iast night the motoring special wai
at Bend, where the speakers addressed
a large gathering on the liberty loan
issue. As at all previous stops, tha
brief, whirlwind talks delivered by Mr.
Stevenson and Mr. Etherldge carried
the audience before them. Both pre
dict that the total of the Central Ore
gon trip will form no small part of Ore
gon's quota, and the objective of the
drive has been fixed at $1,000,000.
The trip has been replete with inci
dents. At Iiufur, where they received
applications Saturday amounting to
$ 6250. one Wasco County farmer smiled
good-bye to his dream of a new auto
mobile as he subscribed for a $500
bond. - 'There goes my new car," he
commented.
Rancher signs for ftOOo.
Conrad L. Hauser is ashep.p rancher
at Bake liven. He heard the speakers
at a wayside stop, revolved their re
marks, and drove posthaste to The
Dalles. The First National Bank was
closed, but he Insisted that' Max Vogt,
the president, reopen it.' Whereupon
the rancher gave his subscription for a
11000 liberty bond.
Citizens of Maupin, which has a pop
ulation of 150, had backed their patri
otism with $7000 in bonds, when the
big yellow car rolled into town. Yet
they subscribed an additional $3000 in
the short time that the campaigners,
spent among them..
L. A. Newell, a garage man of Ma
dras, came forth to sell gasoline to the
special, with a $4 transaction in pros-,
pect.
Garaa;e Owner "Victim.'"
"Have you a liberty bond?" queried
one of the party.
The garage man shook his head.
"Well, you can't sell any gasoline to
us," he was told.
Mr. Newell Jaughed as he made his
subscription, and assured the solicitors
that the purchase was of such signifi
cance he felt no uneasiness about the
loss of gasoline profits.
At a mass meeting In the streets of
Maupin Sunday morning $12,000 worth
of liberty bonds were taken. at the close
of speeches by Mr. Stevenson and Mr.
Etheridge. At Madras, that afternoon,
$1900 was subscribed.
Bankers Giving Aid.
"Bankers in all towns so far visited
by the flier are offering the most en
couraging opportunity for the people
to buy liberty bonds," reads a telegram
received., at headquarters.
"Their offer is to carry any bond
buyer for any reasonable time; the
money to be advanced by the.banks and
repaid by the subscriber in installments
of $5 or $10 a month, the banks charg
ing 4 per cent interest on the money
advanced. This is the same rate the
Government charges on the deferred
payments, and thus the subscriber loses
nothing, the bank makes nothing, and
Uncle Sam gets money for his war
chest."
Ovation Given Speakers.
The speeches made by the campaign
ers are vigorous and pointed. Says Mr.
Stevenson, to ringing applause:
"When the best young blood of Amer
ica is moving across 3000 miles of
death-baited water to fight for the con
tinuation of American Independence and
for the very right of the world to be
free, can you and I, who risk -no death
and run no danger, do less toward the
supreme demand of this unexampled
crisis than to see that the country does
not fail here at home? If they are will
ing to die for the Ideals of American
and world democracy, can we stand by
and withhold the simple assistance of '
loaning our surplus money to the Gov
ernment?" Mr. Etberldge's task is to at forth
the security and advantages of the in
vestment. Here is a typical extract
from one of his speeches, which are
delivered following Mr. Stevenson's ap
peal :
"The bonds are the best kind of an
investment and the safest security in"
the country. The smaller denomina
tions will pass in trade as legal ten
der, like larger currency bills."
Tomorrow the . "million-dollar spe
cial" will be at Klamath Falls: on
