America Declared in Most Right
cous 1'iglitlng Combine Ever
Known Secretary Awards
Diplomas to Graduates.
WEST POINT, X. T.. June 12. More
than a million American men will be in
service 'in France in the near future,
declared Secretary of War Baker in an
address today to 137 graduates of the
United States Military Academy.
Supplementing- nls recent announce
ment in Washington that United States
troops "exceeding: 700,000 in umber"
have disembarked on French soil, the
Secretary told the cadets "it is not "un
fair to speculate that we shall shortly
pass the million mark."
General Peyton C. March, chief of
staff, who made commencement day
the occasion of his first offiicial visit
to the academy, said that neither the
menace of raiding German submarines
off the Atlantic Coast nor the territo
rial grains of the enemy on the western
front will affect America's policy of
sending- men to France as fast as shirs
can carry them.
Today's graduation was that of the
class of 1919, whose members were
awarded their diplomas a year ahead of
time, the first since 1817 to attain that
distinction, because of the urgent de
mand in the Army for trained officers.
Destiny Read by Baker.
Secretary Baker, who awarded the
diplomas to the 'graduates, told them
they were destined to have a part in
leading the armies of the Xation to a
victorious peace. "After that," he said,
"as officers of the regular Army, you
will prepare, not for war, but be ready
for another war if anybody wants to
make it." -
Mr. Baker declared that the United
States became a belligerent because
"Germany tried to crush individual hu
man happiness and liberty, which we
call the theory of democracy."
"We have " joined a combination in
which France and Great Britain and
Italy and the United States have as
sembled in France the greatest force
for righteousness the world has ever
seen," he continued. ,
"We see in that combination a sub
mergency of international discord and
of national selfishness.
"I can imagine that when the God
of nations calls the. roll of those who
have been faithful, England will say,
I am here with my ships and my men.
My losses are grievous, but my spirit is
unbroken.'
"Italy answers, too, from th'e Alps to
the Asiago. She says: 'My sons are
here dying and struggling, but holding
the mountain passes against those who
would crush us.'
French Spirit Unbroken.
"And France oh, the beauty and
sublimity , of her response: "I am here,
bleeding at every pore. My country is
partly occupied. The mother earth has
received to itself again hundreds of
thousands of my dead children. But
our heads are high, our determination
is unbroken. They shall not pass.
"And when America answers, does it
not thrill you .to hear: 'We, too have
crossed the danger-infested seas as La
fayette and Kochambeau did long
years since; we have co-ordinated our
workshops and fabricated our materi
als. We are marching, hundreds of
thousands strong, and we shall con
tinue to be there to the end."'

URVEV AND
PAUL H
PAUL HARVEY, one of the two lead
ing men with "the "Upstairs and
Down" cast, which comes to the
Heilig Theater tonight, is a native of
Illinois, having been born :in Sandwich,
a little town 50 miles from Chicago, but'
he is generally referred to as a "West
ener" from the fact that with the ex
ception of two seasons, one with Vir
ginia Harned in "The Woman He Mar
ried," which was his last appearance in
this city at the Heilig Theater in J 911,
and with Margaret Anglin, in "The Di
vine Friend," he has spent 12 of his 14
years upon the stage on the Pacific
Coat. Xot onljwis he proud to be called
a "Westerner," but a "coast defender"
the latter term being applied to stock
people of California, for he is well
known from Seattle to San Diego. In
Sacramento he played 108 consecutive
weeffs as leading man of a stock or
ganization in that city.
Mr. Harvey created the role of "Tom
Cary" in the "Upstairs and Down"
cast when the play had its initial pro
duction in Los Angeles, two years ago
this month, and his performance is said
to be one of the "hits" of the play. Mr.
TRAINS HIT IN TUNNEL
COLLISION TR1.MDAD, WASH,
RESULTS IX XO OXE HCBT.
Six Cars are Demolished and Several
Others Derailed and Main Line Is
Blocked IS Honrs.
WEXATCHEE, Wash., June 12.
(Special.) A head-on collision in the
tunnel, six cars demolished and several
more derailed and not one person killed
or injured, is the story of a wreck
which occurred yesterday at Crater
Tunnel near Trinidad.
With no opportunity to jump ' and
with a smashup of the cars such as
occurred, the fact that everyone got
out safely will continue to remain a
marvel to those who are acquainted
with the circumstances of the wreck.
Local freight No. 694 was going East,
a work train from he East met the
freight head-on. The wreck was so
bad that it tied up the main 'line for
15 hours. The wrecking: train from
Hlllyard and. another from Leaven
worth went to the scene and it was six
o'clock this 'morning before the line
was open.
C. O. Jenks, vice-president of the
road, arrived in his private car at
tached to No. 26, about midnight. E. J.
Gavin, assistant general Western su
perintendent, and R. E. Landis, divi
sion superintendent, were also on hand.
LUTON MAY LOSE JITS
CARS TO BE HALTED IF FLICK
DOES SOT FILE BOND.
Intimation Given That Franchise Held
by Stephen Carver Will Xot
Be Taken Over.
Unless J. M. Flick, operating Jitney
buses between Portland and the former
town of Linnton, files bonds with the
City Treasurer as required by city ordi
nance before 5 o'clock tonight, he will
be forced, to discontinue operation of
cars.
Xotice to this effective was served
on Mr. Flick last night by Jitney Bus
Inspector Gill in behalf of the City
Council. Mr. Flick recently received
the sanction of the City Council to take
over the franchise for the Linnton
route held by Stephen Carver.
Under the" ferms of the ordinance
allowing the transfer, Mr. Flick is al
lowed until June 20 to file acceptance
of the transfer. For the last 30 days
he has been operating 10 or 11 automo
bile buses without depositing bonds
to insure against accidents.
At a meeting of the council yester
day Mr. Flick intimated that he would
not take over the franchise held by
Mr. Carver, but was awaiting the for
mation of the United Motor Bus Asso
ciation so that he might operate his
jitneys under the blanket bond of $10,
000. Some city officials favor urging the
Portland Railway Light & Power Com
pany to install a line to Linnton, by
using the trackage and wires erected
by the former United Railroads.
There - is some talk of asking the
Xorthern Pacific to operate gasoline
cars between Linnton and Portland.
GRAND LODGE CONVENES
THREE-DAY SESSION IS OPENED AT
MASOMC TEMPLE.
Several Hundred Delegates In City to
Attend Sixty-Eighth Annual Com
munication w Being Held.
Testerday forenoon the sixty-eighth
annual communication of ' the grand
lodge Ancient Free and Accepted Ma
sons of Oregon convened at the Masonic
Temple for a busy session of three
days. Several hundred delegates are in
attendance, of whom about 250 had reg
istered up to last evening. The opening
session was devoted to the ceremonies
of opening, the reception of distin
guished Masons present as visitors at
this session of the grand lodge, and the
annual address of Grand Master W. G.
Shellenbarger.
The afternoon session was one of
busy, routine, at which, the reports of
Xsif McDOSALD,
Harvey is looking forward to playing
a new role next season in another
Oliver Morosco production.
Ann MacDonald is another of the
clever artists in the' comedy, the list
further including: Frances Mann. Fran
ces Ring and Charlotte Treadway in the
leading parts. The staging is said to
be excellent and from designs furnished
by Robert McQuinn, the well-known
futurist artist who contributes to Vogue
Magazine.
It is said that Frederic and Fanny
Hatton, the Chicago critics and makers
of plays, have a penchant for voicing
cynicisms and writing scintillating di
alogue. This was proven in their
former successes, "Years of Discre
tion" and in "The Great Lover," but
tt is the concensus of opinion that in
"Upstairs and Down" they have ex
celled themselves. One cannot help
but being amused at the bright and
"pat" lines and the unconventional goings-on
of the idle rich and their ser
vants at a house party which is being
given by a Xew York millionaire and
his wife at their Summer home at one
of Xew York's watering places on Long
Island
the committees were received, memo
rial exercises conducted and the ad
dress of the grand orator was delivered.
Committees were organized at a late
afternoon meeting and at 7 o'clock the
committees reconvened for acting upon
reports and resolutions submitted. At
7:30 P. M. a school of instruction for
masters and wardens of lodges, under
the leadership of Andy Fritz opened
and held a lengthy evening session.
Election of grand lodge officers will
take place at the forenoon session to
morrow and the installation of the new
officers will occur at the closing ses
sion Friday afternoon.
' There were numerous social enter
tainments last evening for visitors and
delegates in attendance at the grand
lodge. Frank J. Miller, Oregon Public
Service Commissioner, who was grand
master in 1915-1916, was host to the
Past Grand Masters' Association and
entertained about 20 of the 25 mem
bers of the organization at dinner at
the Imperial Hotel. Phil Metschan, Sr.,
is one of the veteran members of the
association.

To See This May Mean Happiness for You!
Old Wives for New PEOPLES
By DAVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS Saturday, June 15
Use of Beet Sugar May Be Forced
- on All Institution!! Rise in
Cost of Meats 23.5 Per
Cent on Average.
SALEM, Or, June 12. (Special.).
Bids on supplies for state institutions
for the next eix months were opened
today and apparently many of the in
stitutions will he compelled to face de
ficiencies because of the soaring prices.
With hundreds of bids received and
the time required for tabulation, it is
practically impossible today to deter
mine how much these deficiencies may
be, or even to determine where such
deficiencies will exist, but Increases in
some cases proved an almost stagger
ing blow to institution heads.
Meats Advance 23.3 Per Cent.
For instance; meats showed a gen
eral increase of 23.5 per cent over the
bids six months ago. At the State Hos
pital for the Insane this will mean a
rise in cost of meats alone of 13000 for
the next six months over the past six
months.
The latest bid on cane sugar is $7.59
and'on beet sugar 7.58. as against a
bid of $7.48 last time. So close will the
institutions be pressed that the board
was considering today forcing the use
of beet sugar in all of the Institutions
to save the one cent & pound difference
between that and cane sugar.
Flour, which ranged from $8.85 to
$10.05 for the soft and the hard wheat,
respectively six months ago, will cost
$9.45 and $10.20 for the next six months.
At least that will be the minimum cost,
probably, as a reservation is included
to cover possibilities in the fluctuation
of prices on wheat. In, event wheat
Jumps a cent a bushel. 4V4 cents a bar
rel extra will be charged, and a simi
lar Increase on each barrel will be
made for each cent rise on a bushel.
Rice Offered at SO.SO.
"Rice, which six months ago cost $6.90
will cost the state $9.50. At the State
Hospital alone 10,000 pounds of this
commodity is used, indicating another
heavy increased cost there.
No. bids whatever 'were received on I
bran" and shorts. These commodities
are extremely scarce, it is reported, and
they have been an important adjunct
at some of the institutions.
Sausage, which the last time went
for $15.40, suffered a $1 rise on the
latest bids.
Shoes and general merchandise, such
as clothing, ail soared. It is impos
sible to give figures on these articles, as
the purchases which are made will be
determined later upon the samples sub
mitted and until the purchases are defi
nitely determined upon the prices will
not be known.
Deficiencies Seem Certain.
Superintendent Stciner. of the in
sane hospital, would not state today
whether or not his institution will suf
fer a deficiency from the rise in
prices. He intimated that a deficiency,
or cutting down rations, might be the
alternatives. It is more than likely.
however, that a deficiency will be
faced there. The same condition ex
ists at the other institutions.
The uncertainty of the situation gen
erally for institutions is shown in con
nection with the bid on molasses,
which is used liberally at the institu
tions, particularly at the state hos
pital During the past six months many
thousands of gallons of molasses were,
used at the hospital, but on the last
delivery ' of 3000 gallons asked for, the
low bidder refused to deliver. At the
same time a lower bid was offered
than was received six months ago.
The supposition is that the quality is
poorer or a bid could not be given.
Consequently, whether a bid will be
accepted depends upon an examination
of the quality. It is possible all bids
on molasses may be rejected. This
same may hold true of other articles.
As a result it may be some time before
a definite line can be secured on how
the bids will affect the appropriations
left to carry the institutions through
the last quarter of the blennlum.
Pioneers' Descendants to Meet.

Hackelman. secretary of the Sons and

PORTLAND STEEL

Tanlac Brings Relief. . ,
t-nquestlonably the most-tal ked-of
medicine in the world today is Tanlac.
Its remarkable reconstructive power
have been tested by people from almost
every quarter of the Blobe and In every
case the verdict has been the same.
Another striking instance in connection
with this fact Is evidenced by the state
ment of Alfred Ayllnir. a native-born
Knslishman livinp at 123 Kast Thirtieth
street and employed by the Northwest
Steel Company, who in telling the other
day of his experience with Tanlac said:
"L'p to a few years ago my health
had always been Rood, then I beRan
to suffer from rheumatism all over mv
body. About a year aeo I had an at
tack of la crlppe that left my system
In such awful condition that I was con
stantly takinir cold. The least little
chano-e In the weather would inflame
my rheumatism and aggravate my trou
bles. My joints would swell and be so
sensitive that I could hardly bear th
pressurn of my hand in them. My liver
and kidneys seemed to bo out of order
and worried me constantly, and I had
such terrible pains in my side and back
that I thouRht I had lumbago, and
could hardly move when one of thesw
spells would come on. My appetite
was very poor and I did not relish my
food. I was badly constipated and my
head ached so much It made me nerv
ous. Sometimes when a nervoua head
ache would come on while I was at
work in the steel plant I would feel
like the noise and racket would drive
me distracted and I would go home
at niKht so exhausted that I was al
most ready to collapse.
"I had tried so many kinds of medi
cines without result that I almost de
spaired of finding relief, but when I
read about the Rood Tanlac was di'lntr
others I determined to try it. I boitaii
