The man on sentry duty on that
section of the huge unfinished wharf
was in a bad humor. He was in a very
bad humor. If a stray cat or dog
had appeared on the wharf at that
moment he would probably have kicked
it. As it was a woman in the khaki
uniform of a war correspondent the
sentry contented himself with roaring
a challenge that brought her up stand
ing. Having produced her pass he
flood .'aside with a scowl, shouldered
the rifle which had been pointed at
her most menacingly, and made a ges
ture with his head which meant, "Well,
then, move on."
But the correspondent I was the
correspondent did not move on. I
stopped and said mildly: "You don't
seem to be enjoying yourself today.
"What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" he repeated
furiously. "Every darn thing is the
matter. What did I leave my business
for, what did I leave my wife and
kids for? Why, to come over here and
right the boche. And what am I do
ing? Roustabout work on a blasted
line' of docks, miles away from the
front. Been here five months in this
hcle, working like a subway digger.
People Were Pioneers.
"Look at the town back there where
we no for a bit of amusement when
the' day's over. Worse than any slum
back home. Talk about the horrors
of the trenches. I'd swap the mud we
live in for any trench. Talk about
Fritz's poison gas. When the wind's
right the tumes from that picric acid
factory up the river blow down and
choke the lungs out of us."
"Do you get these spells often?" I
asked. Whereupon he grinned a little
and relaxed his scowl. I asked him
where he lived and he named a thriving
town in Western Kansas. He had a
real estate business in town, but his
folks still lived tm the big farm which
his father had proved up 30 years ago.
It was a fine place, yielding a big in
come, enough to keep the old people in
comfort for the rest of their lives, and
to support his young family while he
was at the war.
I came from the prairies myself, and
I could just see that farm and the old
folks who had gone out to Kansas in
their lusty youth to take up Govern
ment land. They had built a sod house,
turned up the tough prairie grass.
Ploughed and sowed and cultivated un
der the burning sun, performed ter
rible labor to get their first meager
corn crops.
They had fought drought and grass
hoppers, lived through blizzards and
cyclones, endured poverty and priva
tions untold. They were pioneers. Of
such is the greatness and the virtue of
our America.
1 sat down on a nail keg and talked
their backs beside the road. And a
fine, husky, happy lot they were, too.
Nothing in their university careers
ever did fir them what this rough job
of pioneering was doing.
There was ojie man there who had
put in a magnificent water system in
his home town. When he went to
France the newspapers gave him a
great sendoff, described his work, and
said that no doubt he would be called
on to take charge of the water system
in one of the large French cities. When
I met him he was acting as water boy
to a railroad tie-carrying squad.
The engineers in this part of France
publish a monthly magazine called
"The Spiker." They love to get hold of
these newspaper notices and to publish
them with comments. From- a San
Francisco paper, they gleaned that
"Willie , the cotillion leader of
last season's youngest set, leaves for
France shortly with the Blankth Engi
neers to take charge, it is understood,
of the construction of a telephone sys
tem contemplated by the Government
to facilitate the hauling of troops to
the front."
The comment records that the erst
while cotillion leader Private ,
is now on the business end of a No. 2
shovel.
Engineers Call Tkemselves "P. G.'s."
Well, what of it? The shovel work
has to be done just as the prairie sod
has to be turned. The men growl about
it sometimes, but mostly they grin.
They chalk "P. G." on the backs of
their jumpers, the same letters appear
ing in white on the vivid green uni
forms of the German captives at work
in many camps.
They mean Prisonnier de Guerre, war
prisoner, and when the weather is cold
and rainy and letters from home are
delayed, and spirits sink, you can hard
ly blame the men for feeling at times
a" little like prisoners. They had ex
pected excitement and, perhaps, eome
glory, and hard work and isolation is
their lot.
But what they are doing, tedious
enough day by day, is in the aggregate
splendid and invaluable to the success
of our Army. The like of it was neve
done before by any army in the world.
When the Germans see it, as they will
some day through their newspapers,
they will be aghast at the hugeness of
it.
They had sneered at the idea of the
Americans sending a large army to
France. How could they send an army?
An army can't swim, nor can it fly, and
the Americans had no ships. Even if
they found ships and sent men enough,
how could they feed, clothe and equip
them? How could they keep up their
supplies?
The Americans could and did jjerform
all these miracles because they had in
them the blood of pioneers, of men and
women whom no difficulties could
afrright, no obstacles turn back. Our
soldiers have proved themselves in
countless army camps abroad to be
worthy sons of the breed.
I remember one big aviation camp
which was built in a few months out of
short lengths of boards because the
colonel and his staff couldn't get any
better lumber. They were told that
they couldn't buy any lumber at all,
that there was none available in that
part of France. But they did get It
and they built the camp. The men
lived in tents during the coldest weeks
of winter with icy winds blowing over
the barren piain JM aviatlon camps
are built on big plains.
Conduct of Americana Epic.
In spite of .the cold, the men had no
stoves furnished them. No doubt stoves
were contemplated, but they did not
reach camp. But you can't freeze pio
neers. Those boys just went to work
and built stoves, built them out of
mud, brick and stones and biscuit tins
and any other old junk they could find
lying around. They made stovepipes
out of tfn cans, and they kept warm.
I met and talked with a half dozen
of those engineers who were caught
in that German counter drive near
Cambrai last November. The men, it
will be remembered, were engaged In
peaceful labor behind the British front
linking up railroad communications
and forwarding supplies needed by the
English soldiers farther up the line
No one supposed that the engineers
were in any danger, and the squads
wnnout guns or revolvers.

Americana Pioneering; in France.
They had crossed the plains in rough
wagons, daring weather, starvation
thirst, hostile Indians. They had lev
eled forests; they had built homes with
no tools but axes and handsaws. They
had farmed arid lands. They had lived
in caves and dugouts. They had raised
corn that some years they had been
forced to burn for fuel because there
was no market for it. But they lived,
and won out, and built homes for their
children.
And now, once more the Americans
are pioneering. They are pioneering in
France. They are building an army
and doing it, as their fathers before
them, from the ground up. "If you
were not building these miles of docks
and warehouses, if we didn't have hun
dreds of thousands of men constructing
ice plants, storage warehouses, rail
roads, barracks, bakeries, hangars, hos
pitals, how would the men in the
trenches get food and ammunition and
clothes and medical supplies and every
thing else they have to have before
they can win the war?" I put it to
him straight, and he turned an uncom
fortable pink.
"Of course, you are right," he said.
"But we have to blow off once in a
while. You see we didn't know any
thing about it before we came. We
drew our numbers in the draft, and
most of us were mighty glad of it. We
had the time of our lives in training
camp, and we thought we were going
right into the big show.
"We thought the engineers would
be right up at the front building rail
roads for the artillery. Instead of that
we are kept down here, hundreds of
miles from the fighting, doing the kind
of hard labor some of us have money
enough to hire done at home."

Home Guard Object to Leaving
Home Points Governor Is
Withholding: Action.
SALEM. Or., May 28. (Special.)
Following a conference here between
Governor Withycombe, Adutant-Generat
Williams and Maor Deich, of the State
Military Police, the Governor has in
structed the two officers to go over
with the general staff the question of
segregation of military departments in
the state as outlined at'the recent war
conference in Portland and to submit
a report as to the probable effect and
feasibility of dividing the departments.
The quetsion of particular interest is
as to whether or not the Home Guard
companies should remain as an Integral
part of the regular military organiza
tion, or as a part of the militia, coming
directly under the control of the Adjutant-General's
office, or whether the
guard should be directly under the
control of the Governor himself with
out relation to the AdJutant-GeneraL
"Shnntlna" Objected To.
Many members of the Home Guard
companies are business and profes
sional men and they have made ob
jection to being part of a military or
ganization that is mobile in its nature
and apt to be shunted from place to
place, while they are willing to go the
limit for home defense.
So far the Governor is inclined to be
favorable to the contention made by
these members, and believes that there
is considerable merit in it. He de
clines to taker any actual step in that
direction, however, until he receives a
complete report as to the effect of the
move prepared by competent military
authorities.
While reports have been circulated to
the effect that the effort being made
to divorce the Home Guard companies
from the control of the Adjutant-General's
office is a slap at Adjutant-eGn-eral
Williams, the executive is inclined
to scout these reports as without foun
dation. He said today that he thinks
there is no effort being made to se
cure the "scalp" of the Adjutant
General. Tax to Raise S82S,0O0.
It is understood that Governor
Withycombe is considering the ad
visability of asking the Legislature to
provide that the 1250,000 deficiency ap
propriation made by the Emergency
Board for the State Military Police be
paid out of the $918,000 which is to
be raised under the 1-mill emergency
war tax bill, in event that bill is made
a law by the people.
The war tax bill is proposed by the
State Council of Defense and in pro
posing it the council has taken the
ground that the money so raised should
cover all military exigencies arising
during the course of the war. It is un
derstood that the council will agree
that if it is passed the Legislature will
not be asked to pass any appropriations
whatsoever for military purposes.
With this end in view It is consid
ered likely that the (250,000 emergency
appropriation deficiency will be han
dled out of that fund and take that
burden from the Legislature, which
may be somewhat hampered in its ap
propriations by the 6 per cent limita
tion amendment. If this is done the
deficiency appropriations so far made,
as far as the Legislature is concerned,
would be cut down to a little over
$50,000.
Military Fsad Will Grow. "
The war tax measure, if it passes,
may raise considerably over 9928.000
the second year after its passage, pro
viding the war continues. With the
addition of the great shipyards and
war industries, the assessed valuation
of the state no doubt will increase
wonderfully in another year, and in
event it does, the amount to be raised
under the tax will probably be in ex
cess of $1,000,000 a year. When it is
considered that heretofore military ex
penditures have not exceeded $200,000
for a biennium. at the outside, this ac
count for any one year would be
greatly in excess of anything hereto
fore attempted in the state.
The money would go toward caring
for the Home Guards. State Militia,
State Police, State Council of Defense
and the allied war labors to come up.

Captain Says, and Experts
Who Studied Stresses Ilold
Steamer Success.
A PACIFIC PORT. May 28. 'She
acted Just like any other vessel," was
the way Captain R. E. ConnelU com
manding the steamer Faith, the larg
est concrete ship in the world, com
mented upon the vessel's behavior dur
ing her trial voyage from another Pa

rived today.
"W had some very rough weather
and some very good weather, and the
Faith ' certainly stood the test." con
tinued the captain. "She responded
readily to her helm throughout the
voyage."
A detailed story of the voyage, mark
ing an epoch in maritime history, will
be told In the official report made by
the experts of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, who made the voyage in
the new type of craft.
The following statement was issued
by F. R. McMillan and H. S. Loeffler.
research engineers of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, and C. C. Brush, of
the United States Lighthouse Service,
official observers for the fleet . cor
poration :
"Continuous stress records at various
parts of the ship were taken by means
of recording strain guages designed
especially for this purpose. The seas
encountered were very heavy and gave
a good opportunity to study the action
of the reinforced concrete hull under
conditions ordinarily expected in serv
ice. In our opinion, the trip was very
successful and the indications are all
very favorable toward, the success of
concrete ships."
Those who made the voyage seemed
unanimously of the opinion that the
test conditions were almost ideal, and
the Faith had been given a good "shak
ing down." Storm succeeded calm, and
the craft battled her way ' through
stiff gales and heavy seas always "be
having nicely," according to. the report.
Sometimes the head winds slowed
her down to four miles an hour, but
always she kept forging ahead. Early
this morning she entered the straits
leading to the local harbor, and at 3
P. M. was warped into a local dock.
