TIIE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATTXRDAT, OCTOBER 20. 1917. LAST Man Who Put "First" in "Oregon First" Buys $3 000 Worth of Lib erty Bonds of Eve of Depar ture for Washington. George A. White. Adjutant-General of Oregon, left Portland last night under orders from the War Department to report Immediately for active serv ice at "an Atlantic port." While he was reticent about his orders, the in dications are strong that he will soon he sent to France. General White, or Major White, as he ranks in the National Guard Army, had previously been ordered to report at Camp Greene, Charlotte, N, C. as Adjutant-General of the 41st Infantry Division. This is the division in which the Oregon, Washington and other Korthweat troops are included. General's Request Granted. For several months it has been Gen eral White's wish to be relieved of his duties as Adjutant-General of Oregon that he might go to the front in active service. It was at his own request that he was assigned more than a month ago to the 41st Infantry Division, in order to go forward with the troops from bis own state. At that time, however. Governor Withycombe protested so strongly against the War Department's taking him from the state until after the first draft bad been completed that Secre tary of War Baker personally directed that he should remain here until his work in connection with the draft had been completed. The final mobilization of troops called out on the first draft was completed this week. General White's work as Adjutant General of the state is too well known to require much comment. Ho is gen erally given credit for being the man who put the "first" in "Oregon First." Recruiting Record enviable. Not only in the first mobilization of Oregon troops just prior to the out break of the war, the recruiting of the Third Infantry to full war strength be fore even any regular Army regiments had their full quota of men, and the prompt organization and recruiting to titrength of additional National Guard units, has his work put Oregon in the first rank of the states. In addition to all that, he took up the work of organizing the state to take the war census last June, when all men of military age were registered. Oregon again was one of the first states to report that the work was done, and to send in complete figures. Then when the actual work of the draft began, he it was who took per sonal charge of the organization of the draft machinery. Not once did the Mate fail to meet its full quota at the required time. . Crowder Congratulate White. Provost Marshal-General Crowder, t Washington, D. C, in a telegram signed by him in person, officially commended General White and the state for the efficient manner in which the draft has been conducted here. This is not General White's first taste of active service. He has never been a "swivel-chair" Adjutant-General, and when the call came for troops to go to the Mexican border in June, 191t, he went out as Captain of Troop A, cavalry. This organization, under his com mand, remained, on the border for eight months. It became one of the most efficient cavalry units in the whole Army. General White also is a Spanish-American War veteran. When General White returned to Oregon last February he was confront ed with the task of reorganizing the entire National Guard. Colonel Williams Successor. It was a real man's job, but General White did it and did it so quickly and thoroughly and efficiently that in the following month, March of this year, when the call came for National Guard troops, the Third Oregon mobil ized just a few hundred men short of full strength. 5eneral White promptly began a re cruiting campaign, with the result, al ready noted, that the whole regiment was recruited up to full war strength nhead of any Olhtr regiment in the United Stales. Not only that, hut it was armed and equipped. While he is away on active service General White will be on indefinite leave of absence as Adjutant-General. I.ieutiant-Colonel John M. Williams, of Eugene, will take his place as act ing Adjutant-General. Soldier Din S300O Honda. Before his departure for the front yesterday. General White invested $3000, virtually his entire savings, in liberty bonds. General White will stop a couple of days in Washington on business in con nection with clearing up the property returns from the Oregon National Guard to the War Department, extend ing over a period of 20 years. In that .time more than si. 000. 000 in equipment "has been received by the state, but no final property accountings with the War Department have been made. The same is true in regard to most of the states. Major Virgil L. VenaMe, quartermas ter of tl'.e Oregon National Guard, ac companied General White to Washing ton anil, on behalf of tiovernor Withy combe. will assist in checking out these returns and closing up the state's ac counts with the War Department.

The police of Aberdeen and lio quiam are seeking to round up 125 slackers who failed to report before the exemption board when called for examination. Most of these men are foreigners. Andrew Bour, suspected of being a deserter, is being held here pending word from the Adjutant-General's office, "We do rot always appreciate how we are living on top of a volcano, and how. unless we give relief in some way to the pressure underneath, we will be blown off the top." said Dr. Irving TiKhAr. nrofessor of political economy at Yale University and widely known as an authority on economic ana so ciological problems, in the course of an . rirlress on "Causes of Labor Unrest" at the weekly luncheon of the Portland Realty Board at the Benson yesteraay. "if we are to solve the problem of in dustrial unrest, we must understand its causes. "And If we do not apply a scientific remedy." he warned, "we may be sure that ouack remedies will be applied. , Socialism he classed as such a quack remedy, and as one toward which labor is being drawn, largely on account of the too general apathy of employers toward the welfare or tne, man wno works. Dr. Fisher prefaced his address with a brief discussion of the economic aspect of the war and the need for united support of the liovernmem in such matters as the floating of-liberty bonds. Cost of War Ilisrh. "This war is largely an economic war," he explained. "The economic cost Is terrific. The cost of military oDeratlonB must be backed up toy the purchase of bonds by individuals and the acceptance of Individual responsi bility in the war. "I believe that the export of wheat to the allies will be almost as Impor tant in winning this war as the pur chase of liberty bonds." Dr. Fisher said there are four main causes for labor unrest in this country. "The first cause," he explained, "is the hight cost of living, which really means the low purchasing power of t dollar, and which may be cured by i forming the dollar. "Were It true that wages had k. pace with prices, the wage - eat i would not have cause for complaint. As a matter of fact, they have not kept pace. The wages received by the aver age wage-earner have decreased 15 per cent in purchasing power in the last 10 years." Wage Earner Suffers. And the wage-earner, he added, liv ing usually on a scanty margin of safe ty, is the one least able to afford any depreciation in the purchasing power of his money. "The second great cause of industrial unrest in this country," Dr. Fisher pointed out, "is the fact that we have as yet so little social Insurance." A third cause, he said, was alcohol ism, and he remarked: "I need not en large on that, because you men have solved that problem, as I hope some day the individual states of the East, the country as a whole and ultimately the world, will solve it." The fourth cause he did not define in so many words, and he explained that It was a cause that, as yet, only a very few men In the United States had recognized. In summary. It was the failure of the vast majority of employ ers to give the employe an opportunity for self-expression in his work. Dr. Fisher spoke at Reed College yes terday morning on the purchasing power of the dollar. SIX SLACKERS REPORTED Seven More Men Needed to Com plete Umatilla Quota. PENDLETON. Or., Oct. 19. (Special.)
