to Commissioner Kellancr. "you will

Kellaher Makes ( kanir,
"PMn't your organisations go before

missioner Kellaher. "It did. and that
waa part of the big scheme which haa

-I will say." sld Air. Katirh. "that In

return to the 5-cent fare provided we
can make this possible by eliminating

To you mean to say." asked Mavor
Ttker of Commissioner Kellaher. "that
tuese raanliattons of business men
were in on a gigantic scheme to rob the

"I mean to air." replied Mr. Kella

presume that when an organization

The commissioners voted approval of

.Marion County Kxcee-ls Quota.
SALKM. Or, April 12. fSpeclaL)
Poth Marlon County and the city of
Sal"m went over the top in the liberty
loan drive today. Salem exceeded its
quota of lilt .".CO by 10 and la still
going fuel The county total la not
available, but Chairman Peckebach
the i;9,iino quota Is passed and
a number of districts are still to be
beard from.
"Some people fear the Germans will
break through tha British linea In their
pnesent drive," said Major ronald
Sturrock. of the Both Canadians, in the
course of an address at the luncheon
of the Portland Realty Board yester
day. "Suppose they do break, itT It
will not be for tha first time In this
war.
"In the first battle of Tprea the
British held their lino with only one
man to the yard, and every cook,
bottlewasher and clerk in the whole
army was fighting in that line. too.
Seventeen tlmea the tienmans charged
on them, but the men in that thin
line fired their rifles so fast and ac
curately that 17 times they were
thrown back The Germans broke
through the lino there and didn't
know it.
'Again, at second Tpres. where the
Germans first used gas, they went
through the line again. This time a
few battalions of Canadians behind
the first line threw themselves Into the
breach and fought so furiously that
the Uermans thought they were facing
a whole new army. They had broken
through the line, but what cood did it
do them?
If ana May Break line.
In this last great battle on the
Somme. they broke through the line,
but UritiHh troops fighting rear-guard
actions held them until the line was
connected up again a few miles back.
And so it will be in this drive, if they
do break through. Resolute men will
stop them behind the lines until the
new line is formed.
"The Germans may break the line.
But let me tell you. they will never
get through it in the way they mean
to get through. They will never get
through the heart of our country, and
they will never kill that same heart."
Major Sturrock, In the course of his
address told his hearers they must get
the spirit of the British and French
people to win the war. He said that
before he went to the front he sup
posed the spirit of the Canadians to be
the epitome of the spirit of a people
at war. but when he got to England
he found a spirit of greater sacrifice,
and when he got to France, a still
higher and never-dying spirit.
"You do not realize what this war is,
and even the Canadians do not realize
it yet to the full, magnificently as they
have done." he declared. "But over
there In England and France the war
comes home to them every day, and
they have the spirit that means they
will fight to the last man and the last
cannon and the last dollar to kill the
swinish Hun.
Soldiers Anxloua to Fight.
"There's no such thing as doing your
bit," he said emphatically, in urging
the people of Oregon to subscribe still
greater sums to the third liberty loan.
"There's no such thing as doing your
bit. Tou must do more, do everything
and still keep on doing. The only
men who have done their bit are thoye
who lie buried in Franco. And not
until the Hun is killed, and he must
be killed, can we say and you say that
you have done your bit."
He told how the men back in
"Blighty" (England), suffering from
wounds, long to get back to the fight
ing line after they have recovered.
"That is one of the remarkable
things about this war." he declared.
"France ia just now the dirtiest holo
in the world, but you find men over
there In the trenches, and the man
who has been there once wants to go
back until the business at hand is
done."
Major Sturrock paid a tribute to the
bravery and sclf-sacriflce of the
stretcher bearers. "He is in the heavi
est fire all the time," he said. "Where
tho fighting is hardest, there you will
always find the stretcher bearers
bringing in the wounded. The stretch
er bearer is taking all the medicine
ifeinie is sending over, but he never
falters or holds back. All honor to
these men."
F reach Womem Are Brave.
Another speaker at the luncheon was
Lieutenant Jatnea Warren, of the Brit
ish Poyal Flying Corps, who shot down
siv German planes before a German
"got" him and he was sent back to
"Blighty" to recover, and thence to
the L'nited States to bring the message
of the war to this country.
He. too. spoke of the wonderful spirit
of the French people. He told of one
woman whose husband and three sons
had all been killed. "she was con
vinced." he said, "that the reason she
had been brought into the world was
to bear these three sons for her coun
try, and that the mission of her hus
band had been to fight and give his all

SHIP SAFETY SOUGHT
Board Decides on Bulkhead
Non-Sinkable Plan.
DAMAGE TO BE REDUCED
Belief Expressed That Effectiveness
of L"-Boats May Be Reduced
50 Per Cent; Installation
to Cause No Delay.
WASHINGTON", April II. All Ameri
can merchant vessels will be equipped
immediately with double the number of
bulkheads now carried for protection
against torpedoes and mines.
The Shipping Board approved the
plan today as the most practical of
all the "non-sinkable" schemes and
James C. Stewart, of New York, was
asked to undertake supervision of the
work.
Authority was telegraphed Mr.
Stewart to purchase immediately the
necesssry equipment, including barges
for handling material.
Klgbt Walls to Re Built.
Kight instead of four walls hereafter
ill divide American ships into com
partments, decreasing by 50 per cent
the space which is likely to be flooded
after an external explosion and In
creasing in the same proportion the
chances of the vessel reaching port
instead of going to the bottom.
The bulkheads will be made of four
Inch planks with tongue and groove
and tarred, to make them watertight.
They will be kept rigid by one-inch
steel beams.
Concrete bulkheads were originally
suggested, but the wood and steel con
struction was adopted as being lighter
anJ taking less rocm.
Carajo Space Loss Small.
It is estimated that in 400 ships there
will be a loss of only 6000 tons cargo
space due to the new walls.
No delay in the movement of ships Is
expected to result from the installa
tion of the new safety devices. Mr.
Stewart will be given complete floating
equipment so that the work can be
carried on without interfering with
loading. ,
As food and small freight occupy 85
per cent of the tonnage going to
Europe, the smaller compartments will
not make any material difference in
most ships.
Vessels carrying locomotives and
other heavy equipment may find their
stay in port lengthened, owing to the
necessity for more careful handling of
the big engines.
Bulkheads to Come Out Later.
The new bulkheads will come out
after the war.
The board's decision Is In accord
with the recently announced policy of
investigating and trying every device
that seems to offer a practicable means
of saving tonnage.
Suggestions for Increasing the num
ber of bulkheads have been made
recently In England and other
European countries, but the ship pro
tection committee of the Shipping
Board is the first governmental body to
adopt practical application.
LABOR SUPPLYJS ASSURED
Federal Employment Agency Re
ports Workers Plentiful.
SPOKANE, Wash., April 12. (Spe
cial.) There will be no need to bring
soldiers back from the cantonments to
help with the Spring planting this year
and there will be little, if any, short
age of labor for the harvest in this sec
tion of the Northwest, say Federal offi
cers. The Federal employment agents here
say they are having no difficulty in
supplying farm laborers at $65 a month,
with room and board. Unless conditions
change before the harvest, the labor
supply will be sufficient for the in
creased work then.

What a tribute to the food value of chocolate!
If "men fight like the devil on chocolate" (and
T
we have Brigadier-General Waller's word for it)
those of us who must "carry on" at home can look
to chocolate as a food that will yield the utmost
strength and nutriment in proportion to the cost.
In Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate you get
chocolate at its best. It is a sustaining,
nourishing food an ideal blend of
pure cocoa and finest sugar.
At your 'grocer's in lb., 1 lb. and
3 lb. cans; a tablespoonful one cent's
worth makes aup. , .
