PROTESTS ARE URGENT 'Discrimination Against Oregon and Washington Lumber Producer Declared to Be Clearly Appar ent in Conclusions Kcaclied. Lumbermen of the Pacific Northwest are not surprised at the Insistence of Secretary of Labor Wilson for an eight- hour day for the logging camp and lumber mills of Oregon and Washlng- . ton. In view of the formal statement he submitted to the lumber manufacturers "at Seattle December II. on the oeea . ston of the visit of Secretary Wilson and the Federal Mediation Commission to the Pacific Coast. In that statement, which has hereto fore not been printed. Secretary Wtl- - son made It plain that he would not only Insist on the shorfr day for the lumber Industry of the Pacific North west, but would also recommend to the President the formulation of a policy . by which lumber purchased by the Government for war purposes would be bought only from mills operating on baste eight-hour day. The principal reason ascribed for the proposed action is that all of the other rest Industries In the Pacific North west are operatlnc on an eight-hour - wrrkday basis, with the result that a " scarcity of labor prevail... handicapping the lumber mills in securing sufliclent help. This chance Is denied by the lumbermen, who assert that even In the shipbuilding center-: In the Pacific Northwest the lumber mills are having; no trouble In securing; plenty of help, la fact, are running to rapacity and In many Instances are obliged dally to turn applicants away.

That Is to show his comrades of other faiths that ha is made of the right stuff, and to con vince them by his living; and conduct that he is worthy of their respect." The Jewish Board for Welfare Work, aid the speaker, has no Intention of erecting; a building; of Its own In any of the cantonments, because there is no need of any such building;. The Y. M. C. A..

Caaapalgm to Roaao Moslems Against All Christians ia Cenatry Ceaeelved la Berlin. Part and parcel of the Prussian de sign was the plan to Inflame the fol lowers of Mohammed to a "holy war" against all Christians within the Turk Ish domains a war of complete ex termination. This was th testimony given last night by Mrs. R. 8. M. Emrlrh. for many yeara a Christian worker In Turkey, who spoke at the Auditorium as a preliminary to the state-wide drive for Armenian and Syrian relief to open nevt week. That Germany willed such, a war. In order that the Christian races might be exterminated throughout Mesopo tamia, and her programme of control be complete, was brought home to Mrs. Emrlch when a (ierman. In Turkey, brought her a Berlin paper, printed In English. "It waa printed In English, though published In Germany, because so many of the young Turks had been educated at our Christian universities," said Mrs. Kmrlch. "This la what I read: 'Moslems, the time haa coma for you to band your selves together against the Infidel English. French and Russians! Now ia the time for the Moslem power to retrain Ita old dominion.'" The holy war, that was to be ruth lessly thorough, and that did manifest Itself In the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Armenians and Syrians, was. said Mrs. Emrlch. "merely a mili tary project conceived In Berlin, exe cuted In Constantinople, to dispose of i. too. 000 of the alien races of the Turk ish empire, who stood In tbs way of the Kaiser's plan."
