TOILETS LEAGUE
HAS IIS DEFENDERS
Portland Ad Club Hears Spir
ited Debate Over National
. Non-Partisan League.
C. C. CHAPMAN ASSAILANT
9. I. II row n. President of Farmers'
l atoa and Leader of Jloirrmcnt
to Organise Branch In Orriton,
, , IWcnd Organisation.
TVhen C. C. Chpniu quoted some
the recent unpatriotic public ut
terances of A. C. Townley. president
f the National Non-PartJan Uur,
before the Portland Ad Club at It
weekly luncheon at the Benson HotrT
eslrrday. J. I. Brown, president of
the farmer L'nion and one of the
leader of the movement to organise
auch a league in thla state, lost his
temper and accused ilr. Chapman of
deliberately making statements he
knew were not true.
The Incident occurred In conjunc
tion with a Joint debate between Mr.
llrotrn and Mr. Chapman before the
Ad Club, the subject for discussion be
In: "Resolved. That the non-partisan
movement Is desirable for Oregon at
tills time.
Tvwaley Stawlly Deleadod.
Mr. Brown presented the affirmative
side of the argument. He devoted prac
tically all of the time allotted him to
a defense of the charges of disloyalty,
based on unpatriotic statements, which
had been brought strains! Mr. Townley
and Joseph Gilbert, president and secretary-organiser,
respectively, of the
National organization and of which Mr.
Gilbert was found guilty and sentenced
to Jail. He praised Mr. Townley for
his ability as an organiser and leader.
The only reason advanced by Mr. Brown
for organising a Non-Partisan League
In this state was because of the
"vitriolic attack some of the news
papers had made against the move
ment." At the outset Mr. Brown enlightened
his auditors by saying that the move
ment in Oregon was not associated with
the North. Dakota organization and
that when organised It would be an
independent organization. He frankly
admitted that eventually, however, the
body to be formed In thla state In all
probability would co-ordinate its forces
and co-operate with the National or
ganization, headed by Townley and
Gilbert. He professed to see no reason
why the league In thla state should not
submit to the general plan of opera
tion outlined and being followed by
tr.e National Non-Partisan League.
Otaloyalty DUrlalaeed.
"Attempt to discredit the Non-Partisan
League by charging that It la dis
loyal are foolish.' declared Mr. Brown,
'and amount to an Indictment of three
fourths of the voters of North Dakota
who in the last election voted for the
non-partisan candidate for Governor.
"Mr. Townley baa been charged with
advising the farmers not to increase
the production of wheat and otherwise
to refrain from supporting the war.
lie may have said some unwise things;
under circumstances when one was apt
to say thlAKS he should not have said,
but the general tenor of his remarks
always has been of the most patriotic
charai-ter. He has never uttered a
word In whk h he has not always sup
ported President M'tlson In his conduct
of the war. Take the objectionable
remarks he Is alleged to have made
and consider them In connection with
the point he was seeking to emphasize
and you will find that they were not
Objectionable.
C'Marrlptloa of Wealth Advises.
"At the time he msde the remarks
complained of he was seeking to make
the point that since the Government
liJ conscripted men for the military
f'rrea of the country It should also
Lave cuc-enpted the wealth of the
country. Tbe remarks were entirely
expressive of his difference of opinion
wich the President as to the best
sitctbod of financing the war. and in
that he differed honestly with i'rest
ent Wllaen."
Krgardtng the arrest, conviction and
Jail sentence of (Secretary Gilbert, Mr.
JHrown admitted that Gilbert had made
some "rash" statements.
"But he waa not arrested for mak
ing those remarks." continued Mr.
JUrown. "but on the charge of causing
an unlawful assemblage. The 'big In
terests' of the country had for more
than a year been bounding and badger
ing both Gilbert and Townley because
they had reason to fear the success of
the non-partisan movement. I'nder the
circumstances 1 am not surprised that
bota Tewaley and Gilbert may have
sail some things they should not have

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. Secretary

Both the allies and the Oermans. he

By mossed attacks of FhocK troops.
especially drilled and maneuvered for
weeks for the onslaught, secretary d
ker says, in agreement with expert
military opinion abroad, tne German
general staff hopes to smash through.
But the Secretary of War points out
that the German high command must
realize trsax it will encounter tar more
difficult tactical obstacles than any
other attacking army has hitherto encountered.
Apparently the Secretary, with mucn
information at his command wnicii
cannot be given to the public, snares
the opinion of the allied experts mat
the line will withstand any German
shock against it.
Surface Developments Few.
Secretary Baker says:
"While there have been outwardly
no new developments in tne military
situation in the west during the period
under review. It Is apparent that both
the enemy and the allies, after exten
sive preparations which nave oeen
silently and systematically carried on,
are ready for battle.
"The Germans nave recently un
drawn a number of their veteran west
front units from the first-line trenches
and are busily training them in mobile
warfare.
"According to advices, received, the
German general staff hopes that by
massing a large number of these picked
shock battalions which have been in
tensely trained they may deliver a
crushing blow.
"The bulk of the German lorces is
now assembled in tne west. nut a
large number of these units are wholly
untrained in the method of western
front warfare, which differs radically
from that cinducted along other fronts.
Taetiea te Be Different.
"Furthermore, the German higher
command realizes fully that their
forces will meet with far more difll-
cult tactical obstacles than any hitherto
encountered by an attacking army. A
break through waa possible in Russia
only after the morale of the Russians
had been undermined; the same was
true in Italy and we witnessed how
speedily the Italian line waa mended.
"During the week there lias Deen
much activity of a minor character
along the entltre western front.
"In the Italian theater me enemy nas
again assumed an aggressive alti
tude. ...
"The concentration of an Important
body of German cavalry in the vicinity

Germans will find It expedient to ad
vance on Petrograd. It Is difficult to
determine the exact status of affairs
In Southwestern Russia.

cupied by. Turkish detachments. Tre-

Arabs Ce-operate With British.

contingents of Arabs are Joining the
forces of the Sheik of Alecca, who is

"The Arabs have defeats tne Turks
in two encounters, occupied El Maxreh,
southeast of the Dead Sea, and are ad

Many industries In Class 2 would fall
also in Class 3. since a great number of
factories are working: both on war

CONSUMERS IN 4 CLASSES
Households, Ships, Kallroads, Public
TTtllitles and Public Institutions
Will Be First Supplied, Then
Xecessary War Industries.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. A direct
method of preferential coal distribution
to supply first the requirements or con
sumers whose needs are considered nec
essary in winning the war and to cur
tail consumption by the less essential
industries, will be instituted soon by
the Fuel Administration. ' ;
The programme outlined tonight by
Fuel Administrator Garfield calls for
division of all consumers into. -four
classes and for the creation of a prefer
ential board representing the Fuel Ad
ministration, the Army and Navy and
the Shipping Board to pass on the im
portance of consumers' needs.
Class 1, which would get coal first,
would include consumers put In a
preferential list in the Fuel Administra
tion's closing order of January 17. This
list still is receiving preferential treat
ment, but there has been no classifi
cation of other consumers. It Includes
households, shipB, railroads, public
utilities and public institutions.
Class 2 would Include necessary war
industries; class 3, necessary peace in
dustries, and class , the eo-called
makers of luxuries.
There would be no attempt at estab
lishing preferences within any of the
classifications and the duty of the pref
erential board would be to decide be
tween consumers of a given class.
Preferential distribution would be en
forced by orders to operators to supply
consumers according to classification
and by co-operative measures on the
sential Industries has bothered gov
ernment officials since the outbreak of
the war. but thus far the problem has
not been dealt with directly.
The purpose of the new plan will be,
it wan explained tonight, to disturb the
industrial fabric as little as . possible
and many of the industries engaged in
producing materials not considered es
sential will be converted into munition
plants.
Glassware Overproduced.
Taking the glass Industry as an ex
ample. Dr. Garfield said, there had been
a large overproduction of glassware.
The aim will be to restrict the manu
facture of glass strictly to the forms
that are essential. Many articles, such
as vases, will not bs manufactured after
the programme Is in force.
Most of the industries whose products
are not regarded as essential to prose
cution of the war already have agreed
to a voluntary curtailment of their coal
consumption and it is planned to work
in co-operation with them and to pre
vent hardships and unfair discrimina
tion. The preferential board will be chosen
by the heads of the tour aepanniem.
