SURVEY IS MADE IN EAST Chairman of Oregon Public Service Commission Reports Cnprece dented Traffic, With Rails ; BALElf, Or.. Nov. 16. (Special.) The values of railroad securities are falling with such rapidity as to be a source of great alarm to hankers in the East, is the statement of Frank J. Miller, chairman of the Public Service Commission, who just returned from a Eeveral weeks trip in the Eastern Etates. "Bankers particularly feel decided apprehension over the result of the application of the carriers for an in crease in rates," said Mr. Miller. "The feeling: of some of the financial in stitutions 13 decidedly bitter over the tlecision of the Interstate Commerce Commission in the first rate cases, as they believe that the Commission did not meet the issues squarely, nor treat the carriers altogether fairly. Carriers Are to Blame. "The result, however, has been large ly the fault of the carriers them selves. They failed to make a show ing upon which the Commission could base an affirmative finding for them and 1 was present at a hearing at which the carriers attempted to.proent their latest demand for increases. "The demand was nothing more nor less than an application, on the part of the carriers for the commission to point cut to the roads what they could ask for with the hope of obtaining it. The chairman of the commission told them frankly that the commission could not prejudge the case and that it was the cuty of the carriers to present their demands and to make a showing to up hold such presentation. "It is generally believed that the rail roads are entitled to some consideration and that the commission will grant it. RoadH Need llepair. "People In the West have no idea of he situation on the Eastern roads. The deferred maintenance condition of those roads is unprecedented In the history of railroading in the United States. They are entering the Winter with rough roadbeds, high rail joints, rotten ties and poor equipment. Some of the roadbeds I passed over on what are supposed to be high-class railroads are worse than the AVestern roadbeds after l heavy Winter's use, and they are just now entering the Winter. "The traffic is so congested that on all the trains upon which I traveled through the greater part of the East, but one was on time, and that on a little local line. Passenger trains are sidetrackedf or freight trains and must bide, their time. Every consideration is laid aside for Government freight. Fuel lias precedence over every shipment ex cept munitions and supplies for Gov ernment service. And Government fuel for Government supply factories has precedence over all other fuel. Kant Very lroKperous. "Factories are springing up over night through the East and unexam pled prosperity is on every hand, but the railroads are crowded to the limit. Factories are burning 25 per cent more fuel than ever before. Fuel for per sonal needs is practically Impossible to obtain. Relatives of mine whom I vis ited in Ohio, and who ordered fuel last June, were compelled to go to bed when I was there to keep warm. "The railroads are experiencing par ticular difficulties in the East for lack of terminal and storage facilities. In the West we are confronted with trans portation problems because of lack of cars. But in the East, in the great cen ters of transportation it Is practically impossible to get terminal sites, and their cost is almost prohibitive. "All the factros which confront the railroads of the East indicate that some relief must be afforded them and as near as I could detremine the Interstate Commerce Commission is in the mood to furnish them eome relief when they present the proper kind of application with the proper kind of showing." Erie Lifts Terminal Charged. Mr. Miller explained that one ac complishment of his in the East justi fied the expenditure for the entire trip, and that was obtaining the assurance from the Erie Kallroad that it would not attempt to enforce a terminal charge of from $22.50 to ?25 a car on fruit from the West. The reason given by the railroad for assessing the charge, Mr. Miller said, was because of the fact that carload shipments re ceived by the road include sometimes 50 or 100 smaller shipments from as many shippers, and these have to be segregated on the docks and at the transfer. Mr. Miller said that he passed a day jgoing over the docks and tranfers of the company in New York before wait ing upon the company's officials, and ascertained that at the most the cost so Imposed would not exceed from J4 to 56 per car, and the road has prac tically guaranteed that If it imposes such a charge next year it will be no greater than those amounts. empires to instruct their military au thorities operating west of the Isonzo to follow the rules of international law in respecting the lives and property of civilians and in the protection of women and children, the clergy, hospitals, churches, bishop's palaces and presby teries. The Pontiff also has ordered the Papal nuncios at Munich and Vienna, if necessary, to appeal personally and directly to Emperor William and Em peror Charles to obtain the fulfillment of his wishes. ROME, Xov. 16. All along the moun tain front from Asiago to the Piave River, the attacks of the Austro-Ger-man forces which are seeking to crush in the Italian line, have been repulsed, it is announced officially. All the posi tions attacked have remained in the hands of the Italians. Venice Almost Empty. One the Venetian plains artillery battles of intense severity across the iPave River are in progress. BERLIN, Nov. 16. The town of Cls mon, on the Northern Italian front, has been captured, the War Office an nounces. Near the Adriatic, on the western bank of the piave, Hungarian troops advanced and captured 1000 Italians. VENICE, Thursday, Nov. IS. (By the Associated Press.) Venice is now almost empty, the population having been reduced from the usual 160,000 to 20,000. Despite the proximity of the enemy lines at the mouth of the Piave River and the unsuccessful efforts the Austro-Germans have made to take the long triangle between the mouths of the Piave and Sile rivers, the remnant of the population is calm. City Appears Denerted. The city may not be defended In case of an attack, in order t ospare the monuments and art treasures. The Mayor of Venice, who is a descendant of the Ioges and a chamberlain to the Queen of Italy, announced today that he would remain at his post. The outward appearance of the city is very desolate, much like when the Austrians made their last descent upon it, more than F0 years ago. All the main hotels, cafes and factories and the jewelry and glass shops patronized by tourists are closed. The Hotel Royal tanielt on the Grand Canal remains partly open and two well-known cafes on the Piazza of t. Mark, the Florian and Quadri, are still open. There is nothing open along the Eido. Kobles Remain In Venice. The city authorities are furnishing trains and ships to take away any of the remaining population who wish to go. The best-known centers, such as the Rialto bridge, St. Mark's square and the square where the gondolas are hired, are now deserted except by a few stragglers. There are five shops open and they are selling goods at any pric to save them from passing into the hands of the enemy. There has been much activity outside the lagoon and yesterday several guns bombarded the enemy positions at the mouth of the Piave River. Some foreign, consuls remain, but most others residing here temporarily have gone. All the palaces along the Grand Canal are closed and the occu pants have departed, though a few noble families and. some descendants of the Doges remain with the firm pur pose of not abandoning the c4ty under any circumstances. All the government offices have been removed outside the city, but the government prefect. Count Clola, remains at his post. 7 -BUSINESS -MEN ARE CONSCRIPTED No Pleas for Exemption Heard, No Excuses Accepted and No Recompense Promised.

Morrison, Near First St. Seven Portland business and pro fessional men were conscripted yes terday and ordered to report for im mediate duty. They were the first Portland men to be drafted. t any claims for exemption were made they were disallowed arbitrarily by local board No. 10. Some of the men have large families, but it made no difference. No pleas for exemption were neara, no excuses were accepted; no recom pense was promised. This novel method or conscription is said to be the first of its kind attempted since the selective draft act became a law, but it worked and worked like a charm. It was the advanced method adopted by John B. Kaster, clerk of local exemption board No. 10, to secure volunteers to assist in the heavy pre liminary work of assembling and ar ranging all data of war registrants pre paratory to the calling of the second draft shortly after the first of the year. With other local boards throughout the country, the PortLand local boards this week received instructions from the War Department to begin at once to classify all registered men as to their occupations and family alliances as shown by their rirst registration cards. Plan of Conscription Workn. In order that this work might be done promptly Mr. Piaster, of Local Board No. 10. hit upon the plan of conscripting a number of residents of his district to assist in the work. For this work he selected the following men: Charles C Scott, 1799 Dwight street; J. M. Hart, 661 Lombard street: W. P. Jouno, 674 Gerard street: Harry B. Rey nolds. 1689 Portsmouth; Dr. Charles W. McKenna, 1678 Van Houten: T. L. Dille, 1771 Druid, and T. P. Keeney. 443 Farra gut street. Each of these men received the rol owlng order to report for immediate service: Sir You are called to render imme diate service to Local Board No. 10, city of Portland, state of Oregon, by aiding said board in compiling certain data from its records to be used by the War Department at the earliest possible date. The work requires quick action and special manipulation of different parts of the records. You are hereby commanded 'to appear at the Ports mouth School on Thursday, November 15, 1917, at 7:30 P. M. sharp, for the purpose of aiding your country in this hour of peril. Excuses cannot be ac cepted. The service is a patriotic one and must be rendered gratuitously." o Slacker in Llxt. In fairness to the "conscripts" it must be said of them that there was not a slacker in the list, said Mr. Easter yesterday. Every one of the selected men reported for duty Thurs day evening at the appointed hour and place. They went about their work with a will, glad to render what serv ice they could do. They were at work again last evening, and will continue to assist the board until they are granted permanent exemptions. All of the 11 local boards in Multno mah County are hard at work assem bling the necessary data to have it in readiness before the questionnaires are sent out to all registrants. Much of this work is being done by volunteers; in fact, none of the boards has met with any difficulty in securing patri otic people to aid' them in the work. For the most part, these data refer to the occupations of conscripts, there being 30 separate divisions in the new occupational code of the newly arafted war regulations. Many of the boards lready have completed this work while others expect to have it completed early this coming- week. The other two members of this pro gressive exemption board rso. 10. who resort to 'conscription that their work may be completed promptly are KUiott Williston, chairman, and Dr. W. J. un strap, examining physician. for war work as organized by the T. M. C. A. of the United States. PhsBOKrapli la Glvea. One young man of the city yesterday donated & phonograph and supply of records, a gift which the leaders count as effective as cash since talking: ma chines are made a part of the equip ment of every T. M. C. A. hut. lTivate Karl G. Hannah, of the Cana dian expeditionary forces, spoke at the street-corner gatherings in Portland yesterday, having returned from a rapid-fire tour over much of the west ern part of the state. Private Hannah was several times wounded with shrap nel and sustained a bullet wound at the front. He speaks from experience of the deep appreciation the fighting men hold for the V. M. C. A-'s efforts lu providing comforts for them. Yesterday the clergymen of the city held an enthusiastic conference at the Y. M. C. A. building and mapped final plans for co-operation In the drive. More than two dozen able speakers will carry the message of the cause to weekly assemblages of clubs and labor unions today. Speakers at the rally around the big clock at noon will in clude Mayor George Baker. Superin tendent of Schools L. R.

(Special.) With nearly every business man in the city donating his time to the Y. M. C. A. drive, the indications are that Cottage Grove s apportionment is going to be raised without trouble. More than half has been subscribed and many of the country districts have not reported. Noble sacrifices were made by two women who put in many hard hours to earn the little they have. One gave $3 and the other $5. and both said they wished they could give more. A live campaign is being carried on In the schools, and school children are taking every possible means to earn their bit for the soldier boys.
