THE MORNING OREGONIAN. TUESDAY. OCTOBER 23. 1917. COLONEL DISQUE ARRIVES been " getting This cannot That is why. departure for Man Wlio Revolutionized Conditions at Jackson Prison Recalled From Command on Eve of Sailing for Foreign Service. Oregon has sufficient spruce to win the war. The Government must have 10.000.000 feet a month, forthwith. The Government has 2.000,000 feet a month, be allowed to continue, on the very eve of his France with his cavalry unit. Colonel Brice P. Disque, one of the most unique and interesting officers in the Armv, was recalled to Washington and com missioned to perform what in many ways is the biggest Job connected with the industrial end of winning the war. With practically unlimited authoritv and virtual carte blanche to "get out the spruce," Colonel Disque reached Portland yesterday morning, arranged for certain preliminary matters con nected with his most important mis sion to the state, left last night for Tacoma on other features of his work and will return here later in the week He will then make a flying trip to "Washington for the purpose of report ing direct to the Secretary of War, the Chief of Staff and the Council of Na tional Defense, when he will come back here to remain until his task is com pleted. Officer's Experience Wide. Colonel Disque has been an officer of the Army for 18 years and has seen service in many countries, including the Philippines, Asia and Europe, and has also had a considerable experience in industrial business, especially in handling men. He believes that men are men and that if one knows how, he can get the work out of them easily. This is no theory with Colonel Disque. He demonstrated it in Jackson Prison, the state penitentiary of Michigan, where he had been superintendent for a year prior to the war. During that year, working -the so-called honor sys tem and treating the prisoners as men, he conducted its affairs so that from the proceeds of the manufacturing end of the administration the state received $185,000 over and above the operating expenses, which included wages to many of the prisoners, in some in stances amounting to as high as $70 a month and their keep. Hundreds of them supported their own families on their prison wages. Peace -MlnMon Rot to Lilting;. "I believe there is good in every man and woman," said Colonel Disque, "and I operated the prison at Jackson upon that principle; results were won derful. It was thought there might be some trouble here in getting men to turn out the spruce necessary to the Government's programme at this time. I do not know why I was chosen to handle this situation, but I do know that it nearly broke my heart when 1 was recalled from going to France. However, when shown the absolute ne cessity of this work and its great im portance, I felt repaid. 1 shall do my best to execute my orders 'get out the spruce.' " Many of the details of the work Colonel Disque has been assigned to execute cannot be published at this time for obvious reasons. Suffice it to say there is nothing more important right now than this particular job. and anything that stands in the way of getting the spruce" is going to have a hard time. Colonel Disque will have offices in the Yeon building, and whatever force is necessary to carry forward the work with rapidity and thoroughness will be at hand soon. "I would like to have the men en gaged in logging operations know that if they are in the draft and will make it known to me at my offices in the Yeon building, I will see that they are released, if they will remain in the luKBlng work," said Colonel Disque. "We want every man to know that the TO REMOVE DANDRUFF Get a small bottle of Danderine at any drugstore for a few cents, pour a little into your hand and rub well into the scalp with the finger tips.

Instructions to all customs collectors throughout the country to admit to entry distilled spirits produced abroad prior to Octo ber 3 last, "either for beverage pur poses or other than beverage purposes, were made public and recalled within the space of a few hours today by the Treasury Department The Issuance of the instructions which were sent out by Assistant Sec retary Kowe last Saturday was based upon an interpretation of the food and revenue laws given by Lawrence Beck' er, solicitor of the Treasury Depart ment, an official of the Department of Justice. Mr. Becker ruled that the revenue law approved October 3 re' pealed provisions of the previously en acted food control law, which flatly prohibited the importation of any dis tilled spirits. Now the question has been placed before the Attorney-Gen eral himself for a decision, and in the meantime the food law prohibition re mains in effect. August Law Bars Imports. That section of the food law, passed August 10, after prohibiting the manu facture of distilled beverages in this country, says: "Nor shall there be lm ported into the United States any dis tilled spirits." Section 301 of the revenue law. passed nearly two months later, pro vides: "That no distilled spirits produced after the passage of this act shall be imported into the United from any for eign country or from the West India Islands recently acquired from Den mark (unless produced from products the growth of such island, and not then into any state or territory or dis trict of the United States in which th manufacture or sale of intoxicatin liquor is prohibited), or from Porto Rico or the Philippine Islands. Re-peal la Questioned. Mr. Becker held that the words "pro duced after the passage of this act in the revenue law, in effect, per mitted the admission to entry of spirits distiled prior to the enactment of the act. Instructions consequently were addressed to all collectors advisin them to permit the importation of dis tilled spirits produced abroad prior to October 3. Today these instructions were re called, high officials of the Depart meat taking the stand that the ques tion was one of such magnitude that Attorney-General Gregory should pass upon it. The effect of the decision of the so licitor would be to make available for importation and consumption here th great store of whisky, cordials, liquors and other distilled beverages produced abroad prior to the enactment of the revenue law. Ban Down 48 Hours. How far Mr. Becker's lnterpretatlo of the law became operative before th recall of instructions is not known.
