WASHINGTON GETS NIBBLE
Only Small Machines and Those
Reeded for Training on Pacific
Coast to Be Built In West.
Engine Is Big Factor.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
ington, Nov. 16. Although the Govern
ment, with funds recently, appropriated
by Congress, Is to build 25,000 airplanes
for Army and Navy use, it will place
very few airplane contracts on the Pa-
ciiic uoast ana most 01 tnose m no
HWUlueU C l J dlUUlllia ianviis-a. ....... -.
there Is a decided change of policy. The
Northwest, which is to produce the
spruce for all these planes, is to be
largely shut out of the airplane-building
Industry. It can furnish the raw
material,, but that material will be
worked up in Eastern factories, rang
ing from'Michigan to the Atlantic sea
board. Already many contracts have been
placed with Eastern factories; a very
few have been awarded or promised to
California plants and one firm in Seat
tle has Government contracts for air
planes. None has been given to Ore
gon firms, although several have been
actively seeking contracts and have
given assurance of their ability to
make good.
California Early on Job.
There is a reason, and an old reason,
why California is going to get the
cream of the airplane business that is
allotted to the Pacific Coast. No
sooner had it been determined that
Congress would make a big appropria
tion for aeronautics than factories in
California, capable of building air
planes, submitted offers to the Gov
ernment and also appealed to the Sen
ators and Representatives from that
state to help them get contracts.
Californians in Congress have learned
another thing: that a personal call at a
Government office in Washington gets
results, while any sort of letter-writing
appeal to the same departments
and the same officials gets nothing but
a polite acknowledgment or, at best,
empty promises.
California Senators and Representa
tives began to frequent the offices of
the Aircraft Board before the $640,000.
000 had been authorized, and long be
fore the Aircraft Board knew what It
was going to do, before it knew what
type of airplanes it would build or how
many of them. It knew, in no unmis
takable way, that there were many
plants in California which could turn
out airplanes and it knew that those
plants had active and Influential friends
in Congress.
Engine Building Factor.
There is another thing of impor
tance. The engine Is an Important fac
tor in the airplane; at just one point
- gines being manufactured at the pres
fnt time, and that is in California. For
that matter, there is no knowledge that
any other factory on the Pacific Coast
at least no factory outside of Cali
fornia has been making any particular
enort to get contracts to ouiia tnese
Engines, and, so far. the one factory
has a monopoly of this business on the
Pacific Coast.
While it is true, as stated, that the
Government will build a. number of
airplanes on the Pacific Coast, It is the
purpose to build there the smaller
types of planes, training planes. The
battleplanes will be built In the East
and mainly at lactones that have long
been building airplanes of smaller
types. Furthermore, It -is the desire
and the intention of the Aircraft Board
to build only airplane frames on the
Pacific Coast,, save where planes are
to be built for use at aviation stations
on that coast.
But there will De a, call for a con
siderable number of airplanes for
training purposes on the Pacific Coast,
lor the government has already an
aviation base at San Diego and the
California delegation Is going to get a
second base for their state this Win
ter; there also is prospect that another
aviation training field may bo located
in the state of Washington.

Though they gain no military advantage and. in fact, only heighten the re
sentment of their enemies, the Germans still carry on their series of air
murders of women and little children. In one of the latest raids on London
the Zeppelins indiscriminately strewed incendiary bombs over the British me
tropolis, resulting In the great military gain of killing many women and
children.
One of the bombs dropped by the raiders hit a house in which lived the
widow and her seven children shown In this British official photograph. The
seven youngsters were killed outright and their mother was seriously hurt.
Another woman, who lived with them, was killed and her little son terribly
injured.

'The steady downward curve since
April shows that we hold and for the

The rise in merchant shipbuilding at

Great Britain In Xo Danger of Be
ing Starved Out Work of Build
lng American Destroyers
Not to Be Halted.
WASHINGTON, Not. 16. American
naval experts, it was made plain today,
do not agree with the view that the
lull in submarine activities indicates
a collapse of the U-boat campaign, or
that anti-submarine measures have
proved wholly effective. They agree
that progress is being made against
the menace, but prefer to postpone
Judgment on whether the U-boat has
been eliminated as a factor until the
theory has been more thoroughly
tested. Meanwhile the American Navy
will continue its preparations to deal
with the menace.
It was said officially at the Navy
Department today that there was noth
ing to forecast the possibility of a very
heavy toll of ships next week, or at any
subsequent period and that varying
results from week to week still were
expected.
Secretary Daniels authorized this
statement:
"The submarine menace bsts not
proved the decisive factor in the war
that the Germans predicted it would
be. It has done great harm, which
should not be underestimated and still
Is a menace. A. purpose was to starve
England by August and this, of course,
it has failed to do."
The situation is this, as Navy offi
cials see it:
The effort of the U-boat campaign
to starve out Great Britain by Fall of
this year has failed. Winter is here
and Great Britain has not been starved
into submission and is in no immediate
danger of being starved. The subma
rines still continue, however, a grave
menace to vitally necessary sea travel.
and every effort to increase protection
against them must be made.
Such protection is being Increased
every month. Additional destroyers are
coming into action and building of
great fleet of new American destroyers
is proceeding rapidly. Various devices
for detecting U-boats are being made
more effective and Instruments for
their destruction are being Improved.
The convoying system is working out
well and will become increasingly effi
cient as new destroyers and other craft
are added.
Northwest Lumbermen Ignored.
Executive Secretary Dodson, of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, has
taken up with the West Coast Lumber
Manufacturing Association the ques
tlon of Northwest representation on the
new lumber committee of the National
Council of Defense. No members from
Oregon or Washington are Included in
the new committe;, announced from
Washington Thursday. It was said. In
explanation, that the three former
members had taken little interest in
the work of the committee. Mr. Dod
son believes they were left off the com
mittee by agreement of the association,
but he has written to Tacoma for in
formation, and if the association feels
there should be members from this sec
tion, will do what he can to assist.

DIVER NOT YET DEFEATED
First Lord of British Admiralty Still
Sees Danger.
LONDON, Nov. 16. In reply to
question in the House of Commons to
day. Sir Eric Geddes. First Lord of the
Admiralty, said:
The good returns on tonnage sinking
by enemy submarines last week, and
indeed the comi aratively favorable re
suit of the last two months, ought not
to be taken as Indicating that the sub
marine menace is a thing of the past or
defeated.
Sir Eric recalled his recent speech in
the House of Commons In which he said
the enemy's attack on British trade
was being held, but had not been de
feated; that the Germans were build
ing submarines faster than the British
were destroying them, but that with
improved methods he looked for the
eventual defeat of this menace. He
also reminded his hearers he had said
mercantile marine tonnage was not
being maintained against the depreda
tions of submarines.
"I see no reason in what has bap
pened since, or in the favorable results
of the last week," he continued, "to
qualify or -modify in any way what
have said as publicly as possible, that
the calls upon the merchant shipping of
the world for waging war are so great
that nothing should be left unsaid or
undone which will bring home to the
people of this and allied countries that
economy in everything which is sea
borne is a direct and vital concern in
the successful prosecution of the war
that shipyards are short of men, and
that all labor which can br saved from
unnecessary work and diverted to the
Oregon Troops' Newspaper
Arrives From Trenches.
Copy of "The SpHcer.' With J. Wll
lard Shaver, Formerly of The Ore
Konlan Staff, aw Sporting Editor,
Heachea Portland.
THE SPIKER, the first newspaper to
be published by American troops in
France, has reached Portland. It is an
ight-page publication and is sponsored
by the Eighteenth Regiment, Railway
Engineers. On the staff are several fa
miliar names, one of which Is J. W.
Shaver, formerly a member of The Ore-
goma reportorial staff, who Is sporting
editor. Other members of the staff are
Jack Burroughs and H. W. Ross, edi-
ors; John Washburn, F". E. Short. A. G.
Marsh and L. C. Churchman, reporters;
Patsy Carroll and Louis E. Breton, art-
sts; B. W. Hellings, photographer; T.
W. Palmer, business manager; J. J.
Cassidy, circulation manager, and T. M.
Murray, assistant circulation manager.
The Spiker sells for rutlf a franc, or
about 10 cents. It is filled with per
sonal and general news, with a season-
ng of high-minded fiction and not a
few jokes and quips.
The Spiker has no definite date of
publication,, apparently, "coming out"
whenever there is need for it and the
let-up in action admits. The copy that
reached O. A. Walker, of the Portland
Press Club, yesterday, came from his
brother, O. W. Walker, who is a mem
ber of Company F. Since the regiment
was organized five editions have been
published with the one sent to Portland,
which appeared October 23.
That the Eighteenth is seeing some
active work Is indicated In an explana
tory paragraph calling attention to the
fact that one edition of the Spiker will
never see the light of day, so to speak.
The regiment was ordered to move be
tween the time the printer received the
copy and that when the paper was off
the press.
A list of donts for Sammies" in
Paris is an interesting contribution.
Here are a few: "Don't purchase any
thing without first asking the price.
Don't forget, when you order a drink
in a cafe, that the price should be
marked on the saucer on which the
drink is served. Don't engage rooms in
a hotel without first asking the price.
and don't think that your hot bath is
gratis. Don't accept outside rates for
the pounds or dollars. Don't ask advice
from touts or strangers if you can
help it."
The weekly French lesson throws
sidelight on the camp jests, as for the
current issue the lesson was:
"Vous peche," meaning "you peach,'
and "Vous pecher," meaning 'you nut."
The lesson concluded with a warning
for the boys to be careful.
The issue tells of the Eighteenth En.
glneers winning a baseball game from
the base hospital unit in France on
September 9. The score was 9 to 0. In
the Eighteenth lineup were Alensing,
Argebright,-Murphy, Swind, King, Roo
ney. C. Parkins. M. Leonard, M. Cann
and Gruber. The hospital lineup was
Roundy, Lynch. Bean. Ealker, Bertles.
Clancy, McMorrow, Clark, Baker and
Mahoney. Strickland and Captain Sher
rell were umpires . and John Burke,
scorer.

PRESIDIO. Tex.. Nov. 16. A column

20 miles above OJinaga today. It was

American cavalry patrols, watching its
movements. The coiumn was believed

Colonel Trillo. Villa's secretary, de
nied today that Jose Tnez Salaxar, well
known as a leader of forces opposing
the present Mexican government, was
killed at Nogales ranch. Chihuahua, as
reported several months ago. Colonel
Trillo asserted Salazar was in the Casas
Grandes district a month ago.
New Revolution Planned.
Francisco Villa's mysterious disap
pearance following the battle of Parral
last August was explained today by
Captain Jose Jaurretta, of Villa's gen
eral staff, who declared he had accom
panied Villa on a aooo-mlle trip from
Parral through Durango, Zacat?cas. fci-n
Luis Potosl and other Mexican sines
to confer with chiefs regarding a new
revolutionary movement.
Two Americans crossed the Rio
Grande from OJinaga, Mexico, captured
bv Villa at 2 o'clock this morning.
When stopped by a deputy sheriff they
covered him with a revolver and ois
appeared. They are believed to ha
been the two American desertere who
served the federal machine guns during
the fighting for the posscsblon of
Ojinaga and who were reported to have
been killed.
A scouting party was sent out early
today to locate them. It was believed
here they had been in hiding near OJl
naga since the surrender of the federal
forces there.
A strong guard was on duty here all
night, but nothing was reported from
fords or trails. A Mexican resident of
Presidio reported last night he had seen
five men digging graves on the Mexican
side of the river, presumably to bury
those who fell In the battle. The Met
lean said he saw this burial party And
a Mexican federal soldier hiding behind
some mesquite bushes, drag him to the
open, shoot him and throw his body
into one of the open graves on top of
bodies already in it.
Villa Men Have Money.
All the Villa officers here have plenty
of money, mostly crisp new American
currency and Mexican gold pieces.
EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 16. The request
of Villa forces at Ojinaga. the Mexican
town opposite the American border
port of Presidio, Tex., for the reopt4ing
of that port has been referred to
Washington. This was announced today
by the office of the Collector of Cus
toms for this border district. The re
quest, made soon after Villa forces
captured Ojinaga yesterday, waa for
warded here last night.
Rebels Short of food.
At the Mexican consulate-general
here today it was said that Villa's
purpose in taking OJinaga was to re
plenish his food supply and dispose o
1.000,000 pesos in silver bullion which
his men had gathered in loot during
the last few months.
Consul-General Seguin, while pro
fessing to be without official advices
on the subject, said General Francisco
Murgula would undoubtedly dispatch
strong force from Chihuahua City to
attack the rebels from the rear and
thus make Ojinaga untenable to the
Villa followers.
A party of Americans including
number of El Paso city firemen was
fired upon today by armed Mexican
while hunting on an island in the Rio
Grande near tabem, Tex., 3o mile
southeast of here. Jeff Glaves, capta
of fire station No. 5 in El Paso, was
shot through both legs.
Forty Shots Fired.
There were 10 Americans in the
party, according to the story they told
afterward. They were hunting on the
island when the Mexicans appeared

came when the Mexicans opened fire.
J. M. Harris, an El Paso lawyer, eald
he Judged 40 shots were fired at him.
He was not wounded. He said the
Mexicans appeared to be soldiers, all of
whom wore red bands upon their arms.
Harris said the Americans did not re
turn the fire. They rescued Glaves
from where he was lying wounded in
the water. In the fighting Jesse Mani-
gold, one of the party, was overpowered
and robbed of money and part of his
clothing, it was said.
The party managed to make its way
to a cavalry patrol camp and the sol
diers made, a rush for the island, but
the Mexicans dispersed into Mexico,
firing as they ran. The Island is Amer
ican territory. Glaves was brought to
Fort Bliss base hospital.
A third company of Infantry and a
motorcycle company- are to be sent to
the Big Bend district at once, it was
announced by' military headquarters

try were dispatched to Marfa last night
