AMERICA SLEEPS,
SAYS BERESFORD
British Army Captain Declares
Portland Doesn't Realize
Country Is at War.
MEDALS PROOF OF SERVICE
Captain Resents Assertion of Port
land Salesman That united
States Is Wrong in Lend
ing Money to England.
BY ADDISON BEXXETT.
There has been at the Hotel Seward
for several days a typical English
army officer, one of the retiring sort
who would as soon face a cavalry
charge as an interviewer, a man who
during the 57 years of his life has had
about as many adventures as most
men who cover many magazine and
newspaper pages with tales of their
exploits.
The Captain received a four months
leave of absence on the second day of
August and has spent all of his time
In the United States and Canada, and
will remain here until the last mo
ment that will allow him to be present
at his post of duty near the front in
France on the second of December.
John W. Beresford was born in Lon
don in 1860, and received his education
in that city and Edinburgh, his enlist
ment dating from the ninth of Janu
ary, 1879, his first training as a soldier
being in the Princess Royal Dragoons,
lrlis first active duties in the field were
performed in Egypt, where he went
under command of Sir Garnet Wooles
ley. He took part in the famous battles
of Kersinin and Tealibar. In 1S84, in
practically the same campaign, he
went with Kitchener to the relief of
General Gordon at Khartum, but the
latter was killed in the following Janu
ary before relief reached him. For
valiant services in these campaigns
Captain Beresford received a decora
tion from the Khedive of Egypt.
Served In Boer War,
Next he served In the Boer war of
1S90, under General Colley, but was
soon taken with the fever and invalided
home early in 1S91. Upon his recovery
he rejoined his regiment and served
until his retirement in 1897, when he
returned to London and lived there
with his three sons until the present
war broke out in 1914. The Captain
was married in 1SS1, and three sons
were born of the union; all three en
listed early in the war and two of
them have paid for their devotion with
their lives, having been killed in bat
tles on the Flanders front. The third
son enlisted as soon as he was of
proper age and is now in the trenches
at Ypres, which the Captain pronounces
Yapers, that being the pronunciation
of the troops, if it is not the proper one.
In June, 191, Captain Beresford was
appointed to serve in the commissary
department and has been on active duty
close to the front in France, so close
that the noise of the shells and artil
lery seem so close at times that ap
parently the enemy has broken the
line and Is storming their trenches.
One of the first things the Captain
explained to me was that he had no
kinship with Lord Charles Beresford.
"There are several honorable families in
England by the name of Beresford, the
family of Lord Charles Beresford being
the best known. I belong to another
family and am in no way related to
him. I make this statement because
people are apt to think, if I do not ex
plain, that 1 am endeavoring by con
cealment to secure at least a reported
relationship. I would, of course, be very
proud to claim Lord Charles as of the
eame family, but I cannot do so." That
was the caution the Captain gave me
early in our interview.
War Not Realized Here.
Your people," said the Captain, "do
not realize yet that you are in the war.
It is too far away. The fact has not
come home to you yet. When it does
it will be far easier to sell your war
bonds than it is today. Up in Van
couver, B. C, I saw two men in a small
motor carriage, a sort of toy affair
built for two. These men had recently
returned from the front, where one had
lost one leg and the other both of his
legs. If sights like that could be seen
on the streets of Portland, as perhaps
they will be, you would have no trouble
celling your war bonds."
The Captain has had a splendid visit
in our country. 4I have always wanted
to visit America," he observed, "but
never before saw Just the logical op
portunity. Now I am jolly glad I came,
for I have had a wonderful time. On
all hands I have been treated like a
brother. Your country is beautiful and
prosperity is apparent on every hand.
The first great surprise I had after
leaving New York vas a ride to Chi-

ICE-MINT
A F.AV I SCO VERY STOPS
FALL OFF.
Just a touch or two with Ice-mint
adn your corns nd foot t roubles are
ended It takes the soreness right out,
then the corn or callous shrivels and
lifts off.
No matter what you have tried or
how many times you have been disap

last.
You will never have to cut a corn
dgain or bother with bungling tape or
plasters.
Hard corns, toft corns or corns be
tween the toes just shrivel up and lift
off so easy. It's wonderful. You feel
no pain or soreness when applying Ice
mint or afterwards. It doesn't even
irritate the skin.
Thi.s new discovery made from a
Japanese product is certainly magical
the way it draws out inflammation
from a pair of swollen, burning, aching
feet. Ice-mint imparts such a delight
ful cooling, soothing feeling to the feet
that it just makes you sigh with relief.
It is the real Japanese secret for fine,
healthy little feet. It is greatly appre
ciated by women who wear high-heel
shoes. It absolutely prevents foot odors
and keeps them sweet and comfortable.
It costs little and will give your poor,
tired, suffering, swollen feet the treat
of their lives. Sold and recommnded
by good druggists everywhere. Adv.

I had seen fine trains and had made

a ride like that. Aside from the speed,
the train was as luxurious as one of
the royal trains of the other side."
In the time he has spent in the United
States, something like two months, the
Captain has had but one unpleasant ex
perience, and that happened in Port
land. He entered a store a day or two
ago and the salesman brought' up the
bond question and very frankly told
the Captain that this country had no
business loaning money to his country,
England. "I was very much, .shocked,"
said the Captain to me, "so I merely
answered that if the United States had
got into trouble with Japan, Kngland
would have sent them men and money
to the last man and the last dollar, and
I feel sure I spoke the truth. I do
not in any way blame Portland for this

Portland la Landed.
"But Of all the places I have visited
since coming over I like Portland the
best. Your beautiful buildings, your
fine hotels, where every want and every
wish is anticipated; your splendid home
centers, the lovely dwellings and the
beautiful lawns. "Why, you have a fairy
city. Indeed, I have been so impressed
with Portland that I feel I must come
back after the war and stay with you
a long, long time.
"And we are going to win this war.
There was a doubt until America came
in, but there is no longer any doubt.
And it is going to be won in the air.
Remember what I say this war will be
won in the air. When you get your
$350,000,000 worth of aircraft com
pleted and manned there will be short
work made of the Kaiser's army,
mighty short work. All the German
soldiers want is a chance to quit. Be
fore I left the front, or near-front,
every prisoner brought in, and there
was a steady stream of them, every last
one was glad to be taken or glad to
get a good chance to surrender. I tell
you the rank and file of the armies of
the enemy are just awaiting a good
opportunity to lay down their arms."
Captain Decorated by Queen.
The bar observed on the Captain's
coat in the picture is made up of a
series of ribbons of several colors, but
mostly blue and white, the whole mak
ing what the Captain calls four medals.
The first five on the left, alternately
blue and white, constitute the medal
given for valiant services in -Egypt
This was bestowed by Queen Victoria,
The next is divided into five parts
scarlet, blue, lemon, blue and red. This
was presented by King Edward for
services in South Africa. The third is
of green and white, and was presented
by Queen Alexandra for services In the
Boer war. The last to the right has
two bars, a short one of orange and a
long one of blue. This was given for
valiant services under Kitchener, the
presentation being made by the Khed
ive of 'Egypt.
Captain Beresford visited Camp
Lewis and made a thorough inspection.
He says he has visited nearly all of the
great army camps of Europe, but not
one of them approaches Camp Lewis in
perfection of detail, and he considers
It the finest camp in the world. His
great amazement is that the site was
selected and the camp equipped in so
short a space of time.

TICKETS ARE CALLED IN
Changes Being Made in Schedules
Curtailing Operations on Some
Lines, but Good Accommoda
tion, for Public Is Pledged.
By a revision of schedules and the
curtailing of service on certain lines,
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company is endeavoring to effect the
economies suggested by the Public
Service Commission and meet the deficit
that confronts it with the inauguration
of the eight-hour day and increased
wage schedule.
The granting of the demands of the
carmen, which went into effect Mon
day, increases the operating expenses
of the company $50,000 a month. To
offset this the company will have only
the slightly increased revenue caused
by the elimination of 4V-cent tickets,
by the increased prices of school chil
dren's tickets and by the saving ef
fected in curtailed runs.
By the ticket reform the company
cannot hope to save more than $5000 a
month, as the number of. book tickets,
at 4 2 cents, has always been negligi
ble, while the sale of school tickets is
only a small factor in the business.
Service To Be Kept I" p.
Just what the saving will be in cur
tailed service cannot be ' definitely
stated until the present plans are
thoroughly tested. Ivo marked deteri
oration of service will be forced upon
the public, and it is held scarcely pos
sible that the deficit can be accounted
for by this reform.
The withdrawal of the unlimited
tickets and school children's tickets is
made in accordance with the following
section in a recent order of the Public
Service Commission:
"It is ordered that the Portland Hail
way, Light & Power Company be, and
is hereby, authorized to increase the
rates named by it in its tariff, O. R.
C. No. P. 141, for unlimited tickets and
school children's limited tickets, such
increased rates, however, not to ex
ceed the following: Unlimited tickets,
5 cents each; limited school children's
tickets.- 4 cents each.'
Ontntandlnc Tickets Called In.
The company's announcement of this
ruling, which goes into effect tonight
at midnight, is as follows:
"Inasmuch as the 4 -cent unlimited
and 3 1-3-cent school tickets have been
discontinued by permission of the Pub
lic Service Commission, effective Octo
ber 18, it would be unlawful for us to
accept such tickets now outstanding
for transportation after midnight,
October 1".
"We regret any Inconvenience this
may cause to the public, but will
promptly redeem at purchase price all
outstanding tickets at ticket office,
First and Alder streets, or at Electric
store in the Electric building, Broad
way and Alder street.

COTTAGE GROVE. Or., Oct. 15. (To
the Editor.) As health officer of Cot
tage grove, let me give the following
hints, not only to the good citizens of
Cottage Grove, but to all who may
read:
We are at war with a people who
stop at nothing, no matter how vile.
how uncivilized or barbarous. They will
resort to anything to accomplish their
hellish design to destroy those who
oppose them In their Satanic undertak
ing to enslave the world.
Now, a few words of warning to our
good people: Do you want your neigh
bor, yourself or your family afflicted
with diphtheria, typhoid fever, yellow
fever, cholera, leprosy, syphilis or tu
berculosis? The germ or bacillus which
propagates all or any of the above dis
eases can be distributed to the people
in a make-believe medicine, either a
fluid, powder or ointment, just so it
comes in contact with an abrasion of
the skin or mucous membrane.
This is not intended to oppose legiti
mate business or apply to doctors or
dr0; stores, but is for the good of the
best Nation and the best people on
earth. - ,
Finally, as your friend and health
officer, I would advise that if one of
these packages, boxes or vials of medi
cine is offered you or left at your
house, do not use it without first con
sulting your physician.' Look out for
all forms of treachery and intrigue.
The worst is yet to come.

Rejection of Men Proposed by

SEATTLE, Wash.. Oct. 16. (Special.)
Samuel Hill, Seattle and Portland capi

pointment was confirmed Monday by
unanimous vote of the City Council,
after the Councilmen had divided five
to four over the appointment of eight
or nine special officers in the pay of
the express companies. It is pre
sumed that Mr. Hill desired a badge
of authority that he might enlist with
other citizens in the campaign against
the woman slugger.
Councilman Bolton was one of the
four who voted against the confirma
tion of the express companies' specials.
When the name of Samuel Hill was
read by the clerk. R. H. Thomson
walked over to Bolton's desk and asked
In a stage whisper: "You won't oppose
confirmation of ray friend, will you?"
For reply Councilman Bolton immedi
ately arose, and said:
