So we gave her up and went to the
smoking room, where we found the
Kaiser's dentist. Rumor ran around the
ship that he had come out of Germany
on a special passport signed by the
Kmperor. and further rumors main
tained that he had had nine visits from
his majesty wlthia the last few months.
Allied passengers walked up and down
the deck saying queer things about the
doctor. They speculated upon Just what
action they would have taken in similar
circumstances. A mild, religious youth
burst out with sudden fury that the
dentist had missed the greet oppor
tunity for which ho had preyed every
night a chance at the Kaiser. "I
think he waa a dirty coward." he cried.
"It would hava been an easy Just to let
hi hand slip ..."
There was an Interesting group
around the table at which we were In
vited to sit down. Two Americana, one
a keen, practical Consul-Genersl from
one of th neutral countries, a General
of the United States Army, a Kussian
Prince still wearing his title, a San
Francisco newspaper woman, xoyslf
... and the Kaiser's dentt.it.
All Speeataflaa Alike.
We fell Into a discussion of food
speculation in Russia. Somebody said

Katser's dentist.

said, when ba drove about Berlin In his 1

"Doctor. ssld one or the men, 1

The doctor flushed a little and an-
awered etowlv. perhr out of profes-

police were coming. We hid the ham
nd the porter told the police that the
man had gone to tbe top floor. W e
lived on the second. While they were
up there the man escaped."
"How did the police find he was In
the building?"
"There was a flower shop right across
the street. Two girls who worked
there saw the man come In with the
bundle and reported It. to "ie police.
and It was mighty mean of them, he
added, "because we had often bought
things In thrir shop."

"After that we were regular cue
tomers of this man. until he suddenly
disappeared. I had been wondering
what had become of him, when one day
I wss called to the telephone. '1 under

"Anyway, at 1 a wagon drew up
with two soldiers and a huge sack
containing the flour. Because they
were in uniform no one paid the slight
est attention to them. The funny part
wss that they weren't really soldiers,
but that they wore uniforms over their
clothes. It was part of the game.
"After they were gone a girl called
and presented a bill. There was no

the bill and distributed the flour from

The preacher with a thousand laughs.
Dr. J. Whltcomb Brougher, of the Tem
ple Baptist Church, formerly of the
White Temple, of Portland, was back
once mora In his old pulpit last night,
and In addition to the many hearty.
almost riotous laughs he Inspired he
gave to the vast audience assembled
some stirring messages of patriotism,
some sound advice and much food for
thought as he lectured to them from the
topic. "Simon Says Wig Wag."
The well-beloved, sparkling, beam
ing, soul-stlrrlng Brougher waa all
there, but there was added to him last
night an additional charm as he ap
pealed to the patriotism and pride of
his fellow Americans to do their part
in me winning of tbe big world war.
Aatecracy Must Die.
"The games of chance of our child
hood symbolise - the games of a
turer age," said Dr. Brougher. "I
our childhood we played a game called
'Simon Says Wig-Wag' and In it we
were all supposed to obey Simon. If
we didn't there was a penalty. In
this country we want to be free of
autocrats. No people will be abso
.utely free to choose for themselves
till' they have killed autocracy and the
miitarism or the Kaiser.
"In this country now it Is absolutely
necessary for us to accept the dictates
of our Uncle Simon In order to destroy
the militarism of Germany and make
possible the highest development of
free people In all the nations on earth.
Tonight, therefore. I am speaking of
our Government and its necessities in
the present world conflict."
And a lot of serious, sound, at times
intensely solemn, statements followed,
but ever and anon came one of those
ide-splltting Brougheresques that set
the whole temple auditorium ringing
with laughter and re-echoing with ap
plause.
raited Spirit Needed.
"What we need is people In th's
country' with so much backbone and
true American spirit that all the word
Kaiser Bill can get from here will be,
'W'e are united and one in thought and
purpose and we're going to lick you.
Bill.' "
Reminds ma or the darkey driving
along the country road." and Brougher
smiled blandly. "First that darkey
whipped off a daisy blossom and then
he .whipped up and killed a bumble bee
and then he saw two hornets on the
top of a hornet's nest and the white
man with him asked, 'Why. Sambo,
can't you get them with your whip?
And the darkey answered. 'Boss. I
could get 'em but. boss, them fellows
inside am organised.'
"The Kaiser Is up against us and we
are organized and we're not going to
stop till we get him." Cheers greeted
thin and other similar statements of
defiance of Kaiserdom.
Kaiser Devil's Competitor.
"We hope to keep on till we put the
Kaiser below." declared Dr. Brougher,
"and when he's there he will be making
trouble for the Devil. I think then
Satan will say 'What are you doing
here. WUhelm? Tou don't belong here
walking around as if you owned the
place.' And Bill will say 'I think I do,
Satan, because the American soldiers
gave it me.' "
Dr. Brougher made a strong attack
on the liquor traffic which he declared
should be stopped. "It's not Justice to
refuse to let the soldier boy drink," he
said, "and make It possible for the
folks at home to get booze. Save the
money and buy liberty bonds. Cut out
luxuries and things not necessary and
give the money to Uncle Sam so we can
win this war.
"Hooverize. economize and then liber
alize by giving what you save to tbe
cause of righteousness," was the sum
ming up.

Assistant United States Attorney
Rankin yesterday advised H". B. Van-
Duzer. director of the Fir' Production
Board for jtnls state, that the Govern
ment Is empowered to enforce the price
for fir logs as fixed by the price-fix
ing committee of the Board of War
Industries on March 19, 1918. At that
time the following prices were, fixed by
that board: . $19 per 1000 for No. 1
logs, $15.50 for No. 2 and $10 for No. 3.
This Information 'was given in re
sponse to a commission from Mr. Van
Duzer, who reported that one Columbia
River logging company had refused to
deliver Its logs to the Government at
the price fixed by the price-fixing
board. Other loggers Mr. VanDuzer
said, were threatening to withhold
their product from the Government.
These loggers complain that the price
of $19 per 1000 for the best logs is not
enough and they feel they can obtain
a better figure by holding their output.
Mr. Rankin ascertained, following an
investigation, that the Government has
not only the authority to compel the
delivery of logs needed for Govern
ment uses at the prices that have been
fixed but,' in case loggers refuse to
turn their logs over to the Govern
ment at these figures, it can com
mandeer all such logging camps and
appropriate the logs.
Sir. Rankin also calls to the atten
tion of hesitating loggers the fact that
failure on their part to respond to the
Government's needs at the prices that
have been established by the -Government
for the logs, makes them liable
upon conviction, to not more than five
years imprisonment and not more
than $5000 fine.
