THE OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1917. NEW VOCATIONAL BOARD APPOINTED Oregon Will Get Minimum Of $15,000 From Government for First Year's Work. GOVERNOR NAMES FIVE Tersonnel Is C. F. Adams, Mrs. G. V. McMath and E. J. Stack, Port land; J. A. Churchill, Salem; Mrs. Castner, Hood River. SALEM, Or., Nov. 1. (Special.) Governor Withycombe today appointed a. board on vocational education for this state under the Smith-Hughes act, the appointments being the same as on the old board, save that C. F. Adams, of the First .National Bank, of Portland, was selected in- the place of W. B. Ayer, also of Portland. Mr. Ayer's duties as food administrator make it impractica ble for him to serve on the vocational board. The other members are Mrs. George W. McMath, of Portland; Mrs. Charles H. Castner, Hood River; J. A. Churchill, Salem, and E. J, Stack, Port land. The board was named originally by the Governor when it was held by edu cational authorities in Washington that Oregon could come under the pro visions of the act by proclamation of the Governor, regardless of the fact that no legislative provision had been made to meet the Government funda by state funds. The act provides for Federal aid to the state in vocational education, but Congress passed the original act after the Oregon Legislature of 1917 had ad journed. Members of the National Board informed state 'authorities that a proclamation of the Governor would plve this state a status under the act and a right to select a state board, as well as to obtain Federal funds. But Congress, in its emergency de ficiency bill, provided especially for funds for Oregon and other cities which were in a similar position, owing to the fact of their Legisla tures adjourning, and consequently it was necessary to name a new board. Superintendent Churchill was chair man of the old board, but it will de volve on the Board to either re-elect him or to select another chairman. In the proclamation issued by the Gov ernor today the State Treasurer is made custodian of the funds under the act. Oregon Is entitled to a minimum of $15,000 for its first year's work. SEATTLE BOY IS FIRST HEUTESAXT RABDE.V WOUNDED r BY SBRAFNEL LAST SUNDAY. Injured Man Was Member of General ."- Pershing's Expeditionary Forcrd Stationed In France. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov.- 1. (Special.) -iThe first .officer of the American ex peditionary forces to be wounded in France is Lieutenant Devere H. Har. den, of Seattle, son of Mrs. Ella K Harden, 1046 Sixty-sixth avenue South, and brother of Charles H. Harden, vice president of the Steam Supply & Rub ber Company, and Guy Harden, who is better known by his ringr name, "Billie Wright." Word of the wounding of Lieutenant Harden by a piece of shrapnel, was re ceived in Seattle last evening. The wound is not serious, the report said. Lieutenant Harden enlisted in the Rpgular Army in Seattle 14 years ago as a private in the Signal Corps. His faithful service as a telegrapher and wireless operator, while stationed in various parts of the United States, Alaska, and in the Panama Canal Zone, led to his appointment just before de parture for France as First Lieutenant. For the past year Harden has been etationed at Fort Lawton. He was a member of General Pershing's expedi tionary force into Mexico in the Sum mer of 1916. He sailed for France June 21. The Seattle- Lieutenant was wounded October 28, according to the cablegram ent by General Pershing to the War Iepartment. He was struck by a piece of shrapnel in the leg. iTRENCH FEET TROUBLE Casualties of American Force Are ; Xegllglble. ' WITH THE AMERICAN ARMT IN TRANCE, Nov. 1. (By the Associated Press.)

It is these little bodies that carry nourishment to the tissues. They also cause the flow of health In cheeks and lips. When the blood Is deficient In these red corpuscles the person not only be comes pale, but the body Is under nourished, the weight "is usually re duced and as the nerves share In the general starvation some form of nerv ousness follows. When the blood is Improved In quality the tissues are better nourished and all the functions of the body are better performed. When the blood lacks red corpus cles It Is a scientific fact that a course of treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will cause them to increase. This can be demonstrated by a microscropic examination and anyone can prove It by "looking In a mirror, for an Increase In red blood shows quickly In the cheeks and especially in the lining membranes of the eyelids. "Building Up the Blood" Is a book let, full of useful information. Every mother and every growing- girl should have one. It Is sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady. N.

Relief, which is con sidered one of the critical periods, when the enemy, by shelling ap proaches to the positions, may inflict heavy damage, was accomplished suc cessfully. Apparently the enemy was not aware of what was going on. With the men back in billets it now is permitted to mention for the first time -that the casualties were negligi ble. In fact, more men are suffering from "trench feet" than wounds. From a military standpoint the ex perience gained by the Americans is considered of a very high value In the training of contingents which- are yet to arrive on French soil. It was a tired, dirty, wet, mud-caked body of men that returned to the billets. The men had only two clear days while in the trenches. They were mud- from their hats to their shoes. Before any thing else they required a bath, first with gasoline and then water. Today the sun was shining brightly and the returned soldiers spent most of the time sunning themselves and their belongings. Some of the fields in this section of France are covered with blankets, parts of uniforms and equip ment. Clouds of red dust arose in these places when later the owners started to brush. Tonight the returned battalions are clean and ready to go back again. HONOR PAID LAFAYETTE AMERICANS PROMISE THAT IV S, WILL SHOW GRATITUDE.

The delegation of American Congressmen which is tour ing England and France gaining first hand information" regarding the war, today visited the Ficpus Cemetery, where they placed a large wreath on the tomb of Lafayette.

Result of Investigation, Hovever, Will Not Be Given to Council . for Fear of Being Passed on to Men Higher "Up. SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 1. (Special.) U. G. Murphy, acting seoretary of the morals committee , of the Ministerial Association, declared Thursday night that the ministers had evidence regard ing the' vice situation in Seattle which would require a great deal of explana tion from Mayor Gill and Chief of Po lice Beckingham if they were to be absolved of connection, with it. Mr. Murphy declared that the Ministers" Association had been gathering evi dence for submission tp the Prosecuting Attorney's office and the grand Jury and that the association was deter mined not to submit this evidence to the City Council or any committee of the Council. Mr. Murphy declared that the asso ciation had the same reason for not wishing to submit their evidence to the City Council that they understood Gen eral Greene to have that it might get Into the hands of men "high in author ity," who they believe to be involved In the maintenance of vicious condi tions. "Ring" Is Aliened. "Any investigation by the City Coun cil now will becloud the issue," con tinued Mr. Murphy. "We doubt the ability of the Council to conduct an inquiry and we do not see that any good will result. We do not know that there Is any syndicate of vice in the strict sense, but we know that there is close co-operation among the mem bers of three separate groups the at torneys of the vice element, the owners of hotels and the officials who have given encouragement to the forces of immorality. -We do not know that these three groups are leagued together as a syndicate." Mr. Murphy said that the morals committee of the Ministerial Associa tion, of which Rev. Leonard B. Smith, pastor of the First Methodist Epis copal Church, is chairman, would be present at the regular meeting of the City Council Monday afternoon, when R. II. Thompson proposes to introduce a resolution requesting General Greene to submit his evidence of the existence of a vice syndicate in Seattle and to name the "men higher up." said to be leagued with the vicious element. The committee probably will be represented by an attorney, he said. Orders Given to Women. Mr. Murphy declared that one of the women resorters of a cafe near Yesler way had informed him that she had recelve'd instructions from the police that she continue to "work" in the afternoons, but that she was to stay away from the cafes after nightfall. He said the members of his committee had previously wondered why there had been so few women In the cabarets the last two nights. The Thomson resolution to be pre sented to the Council on Monday will represent the advice of the entire leg islative - body. Councilman Thomson having decided to confer with his col league before drawing up the resolu tion. Since General Greene's charges were given publicity there has been a marked absence of disorderly women fromthe streets, and the police, sent out to Investigate cafes Wednesday night, found not one disorderly woman in any of the places visited. The Municipal League and Rotary Club committees appointed to co operate with the Council in determining the responsibility for the vice condi tions, will confer Jointly this week and decide upon some course of action. SUBSEA WARFARE LOSES (Continued From First Panp.) still very formidable we cannot at this stage of the war pick any one Item to deduce therefrom that the war, even any phase of it, is going well or badly." The kaleidoscopic change which goes on In actual warfare, he added, is con tinually occurring in workshops and shipyards. To the uninformed observer it must appear sometimes that there is no method in the madness of those who control these matters. "But." said he, "I would appeal to the country for confidence. There is a method in what we do. "The general situation regarding sub marine warfare can best be demon strated by the following figures: Since the beginning of the war between 40 and 50 per cent of the German subma rines operating in the North Sea, the Atlantic and the Arctic Oceans have been sunk. During the last quarter the enemy has lost as many submarines as during the whole of 1916. "As regards the sinkings of British merchant tonnage by submarines, the German official figures for August are 808.000 tons of all nationalities. They sank a little more than one-third of that amount of British tonnage and a little more than half of all nationali ties. Germans Greatly Exaggerate. "For September their official figures were 679,000 tons. They sank far less than one-third of that amount of Brit ish tonnage and less than one-half of that amount of all nationalities. "The Germans claim our tonnage Is falling so low that there are not enough ships on the sea to enable their submarine commanders to maintain their bag. Let me give you the facts. In April last, the heaviest month of British losses by enemy submarines since the war began, our shipping flowed presumably in satisfactory vol ume for the enemy submarine. In Sep tember last, his last month of sinkings, our overseas sailings of all ships of over 1600 tons were 20 per cent of the number and 30 per cent in tonnage higher than in April. The enemy must, therefore, find another and better ex planation for his lack of success. I can supply It. Submarine Do Hot Return. "The explanation is that the long arm of the British navy reached down into the depths and thus the harvest reaped is poorer and the number of German submarines which do not re turn is Increasing. "Since April, the highest month for British losses, they have steadily de creased and latterly to a marked de gree. September was the most satis factory month) . October was only slightly worse and better by 80 per cent than any ether month einoe unre stricted submarine warfare began. The net reduction in tonnage. Jn the last four months is 0 per cent less than anticipated in the estimate prepared for the Cabinet early in July. Net Losses Given. "The total net reduction since the be ginning of the war from all causes in British tonnage on the official regis ter in ships over 1600 tons is under 2,250,000 tons gross, or 14 per cent, and that after a period when our great armies and their magnificent equip ment received priority and the great growth of our navy was simultaneously achieved, to the detriment of mercan tile shipbuilding. Now that the sub marine is for the present doing less damage and the resources of the coun try are again being devoted to a far greater and an increasing extent to the upbuilding of the mercantile marine I look for net results still more for midable. "Summarized,- the submarine warfare amounts to this: Our defensive meas ures have during the last seven months prove so efficacious that in spite of the increased number of ships passing through the danger zone there has been steady reduction In the dam age done by the enemy submarines. In the meantime we are sinking enemy submarines to an increasing extent. Our offensive measures are improving and will still more improve and multiply. More IT-Boats Building. "But, on the other hand, the Ger mans are building submarines faster than they have hitherto done, and they have- not attained their' maximum strength. It appears to me, therefore, that in the submarine warfare,- as 'else where, it is becoming a test of deter mination and ingenuity tetweenMhe two contending forces. "For the present I have come to the conclusion that the submarine warfare is going well for us. The enemy has done less damage than he hoped and less than we estimated. He has done it with a serious and heavy loss to him self We may be Justified in feeling that his attack on our trade is held and Is being mastered, and we are Justified In looking to the future with courage and determination, confident that he will fail." Germany's! Shipping Halved. "At the outbreak of the war Germany possessed over 5,000,000 tons of ship ping. Today nearly half of it has been sunk or Is in the bands of ourselves or our allies. Sho has a 50 per cent re duction to our 14 per cent. "It is well that the British public should be told what they are up against. We must not consider our selves alone, but the alliance as a whole." He pointed out that while Great Brit ain has plenty of coal for victory, Italy and France have not and it was essential that there should be the greatest possible economy in food and in all imports in order that tonnage should be saved so that it may be di verted to other vital needs of the al liance. He declared: Long War Is in Sight. "We must lay our plans for a long war. I see no signs of its being a short one, and ail, by their economy, can help the navies of the allies defeat the submarine. "The huge army of the United States Is preparing and has to be transported and maintained. The French. Italians and other allies require seaboard help. That help can only be given if the na tion Is prepared strictly and vigorously to curtail its needs, develop home re sources and conserve its present po tential maritime strength." It had been asked whether Great Britain was building merchant tonnage at a sufficient rate to replace the sink ings. The answer, he declared, had been given negatively, but it was un sonnd and inconclusive to taktSrfy one factor of output as against losses to be a vital indication of Great Britain's situation. Britain, he said, now was equipped on a scale never dreamed of before. "May the country not Justly take credit for the fact that In 1917," with our military and munitions effort at the maximum and when the call upon man power has reduced our available resources to a minimum," he continued, "we shall have produced naval and mercantile tonnage practically equal to the best year ever recorded in our his tory. And in 1918 it will certainly be very much greater." Workers Are Counted On. The speaker expressed confidence that the skilled workers would stand by the nation In carrying out the great shipbuilding programme. Just as they had done in the munitions and other needs of the country. "For," he added, "they may rest as sured that the Parliament and the country will not permit any action cal culated to lower the standard of com fort they have won for their families and themselves." Sir Eric said that the four new na tional yards now being built would be ready In six months and continued: "The output of merchant tonnage for the first nine months of 1917 is 123 per cent higher than in the corres ponding period last year and consider ably higher than the total output for the whole of 1913. Standard vessels have been ordered representing nearly one million gross tons. More than half of these are under construction." According to the First Lord, there now are 235 large drydocks in the British Isles where merchantmen can be re paired. He expressed the hope that all these vessels would soon be effectively armed and he paid a tribute to the women employes in the dock yards. in bepteraoer 80 per cent of the to tal vessels sailing the Atlantic were convoyed, and since the convoy sys tem started the total percentage of loss per convoyed vessel through the danger zone was one in 200. United States' Help Acknowledged. "I wish to acknowledge fully the val uable contribution made by the United States Navy In this convoy work since their destroyers Joined us under com mand of Vice-Admiral Sims. "We have had most valuable con sultation with Admiral Mayo and on the occasion of his- visit took coun sel with him as to the role the Amer ican Navy was to play. Wo also took advantage of his visit to have an in ternational naval conference from which we hope much good may re sult." Defending the navy, the First Lord reviewed its accomplishments, declar ing that, unlike the enemy forces, its role was an offensive one. "During a recent month," he con tinued, "the mileage steamed by our battleships, cruisers and destroyers alone amounted to 1,000,000 ship miles in home waters. In addition to this the navy auxiliary forces patrolled more than 6,000.000 miles in the same period and territory. The displacement of the navy is 71 per cent greater than in 1914. when it was 2,400,000 tons. At the outbreak of the war we had 18 mine sweepers and auxiliary patrols. Today there are 3366. The personnel of the fleet before the war was 146,000; today it Is 390,000." In September, he added, the royal naval air service carried out 64 raids behind the enemy lines In Flanders, dropping 2736 bombs. Replying to criticism regarding the recent loss of a Scandinavian convoy In the North Sea, Sir Eric satd had the British Navy been informed of the fact, which it was not, its position was such that l could not have wished a better opportunity of Intercepting the raiders. The Scandinavian convoy system had been going on since April, he added, and this was the first occasion on which any ship had been lost. ,AN ATLANTIC PORT, Nov. 1.

For Catarrhal Deafness and Head Noises Rare In America ihere is much suffering from catarrh and head noises. American people would do well to consider the method employed by the English to combat this In sidious disease.
