8 THE MORXIXGOREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19. 1918. BARNETT ACCUSED OF ARMY POLITICS Marine Corps Head Is Said to Have Lobbied for Rank of Lieutenant-Genera!. DANIELS DEFENDS OFFICIAL . Efouse Votes Against Creation of Two 3few High Positions Perma nent Increase of Naval Personnel Favored. WASHINGTON. June 18. Permanent increase of thNavy personnel from 87. 000 to 131,485 men was voted today by the House during: consideration of Sen ate amendments, to the SI. 600,000,000 naval appropriation bill, but the pro posal to create the rank of Lieutenant General for the corps staff officers was disapproved, 73 to 44. Spirited debate preceded the rejec tion of the Senate's marine corps amendment. ; Representative Butler, of Pennsylva nia, Republican, whose son is a Colo nel in the corps, said propaganda had been conducted to cause the promo tions, while Representative Keating, of Colorado, Democrat, charged that Major-General Barnett, the corps com mandant, started a campaign for the new law as soon as the naval bill was sent to the Senate, in spite of Secre tary Daniels' known opposition to the amendment. "The amendment, in effect, is to give the rank of Lieutenant-General to a man who never was under fire, so far as the records show," declared Mr. Keating. "There has been a lobby by men directly concerned in this amend ment strong enough to warrant the President to order a court-martial. "It is not the men who are going over the top' in France who are ask ing for this amendment. I am in fa vor of giving the men who are doing the fighting recognition before giving It to these rocking-chair soldiers." General Barnett, who was a specta tor in the House gallery during most o the debate, was defended by Rep resentatives Flood, of Virginia, Dem ocrat, and Britten, of Illinois, and '. Meeker, of Missouri, Republican. Mr. Flood denied that the General had "pleaded with any member of Congress for a measure that would benefit him," while Mr. Britten said the General had not sought personal promotion, but in creased rank for the men under him. Secretary Daniels also came to the defense of General Barnett. In a state ment tonight he said the General "is a very able officer; has been most effi cient in his position as commandant of the corps and served through the Box er trouble and at other places where onlv brave men were to be found." Mr. Daniels added that he had not heard of any propaganda being con ducted by the Marine Corps in support 'of the Senate amendment.

Mr. Jensen, Mrs. Jensen and party motored to Portland via Seattle from Butte, spending a week on a long1 trip he characterizes as a real treat. The film exhibition magnate spent six months in- Portland in 1915, when Jensen & Von Herberg took over the Columbia Theater. Since those days the firm has nearly trebled its theater holdings, including the Liberty of Port land, Oregon's largest motion picture theater; the Coliseum, a magnificent home of the silent drama in Seattle; the Strand, another Seattle house, and the Rialto, a Butte theater which ranks among the finest in the country.

At the first meeting of -the newly formed Motion Picture War Service Association in Los Angeles a fund was started for the purchase of a hos pital of 1000 beds to be presented to the Government by the motion pic ture industry. This will cost about S185.000. D. W. Griffith was elected chairman of the governing board and Mack Sen nett was named treasurer. Others se lected for the board included Lois Weber, Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fair banks, Mary Pickford, William S. Hart and Marguerite Clark. Mary Pickford autographed member ship ticket No. 1 and Dustin Farnum bought it for S2500. Chaplin, not to be outdone by Mr. Famum, bought a membership ticket and paid S2000 for it. Mack Sennett paid $2400 for Clara Kimball Young's autographed ticket. Mr. Griffith bought Mae Murray's for $2500. Sessue Haya kawa gave $2000 for Cecil De. Mille's. Phillips Smalley $2000 for Lois Weber's, Henry McRae, $1000 for Mack Sennett's, Douglas Fairbanks $2500 for Margue rite Clark's, Fannie Ward paid $2500 for Frank Keenan's and Frank turned right around and bought Fannle's for the same price, Harry Sherman paid $2750 for Dustin Farnum's. Altogether some $40,000 was raised in this fashion. Charlie Murray acted as auctioneer. and they say his remarks alone were worth the money. The idea of the war service organi zation originated with the Motion Pic ture-Directors' Association, who of late have devoted all their meetings to the war question and have done much to demonstrate just to what extent the motion picture industry Js behind the United States and her allies . in the present crisis. Oregon has a chapter of the associ ation, of which E. J. Myrick, manager of the Liberty Theater, is chairman. Seven Deadly Sins. Do you like Constance Talmadge? If you do read these words Connie addressed to an interviewer and cata logue yourself: "Tell me, am I queer because I could never marry a man who wore tan but ton shoes, or ate spinach, or carried an umbrella, or had a beard, or said 'I am feeling badly,' or wore a ring on his middle finger, or sang tenor?" "No," the interviewer answered "only that you are very young." Constance is a typical, up-to-date, restless young American girl, according to the visitor. She has a keener sense of humor than her famous sister Nor ma, but does not yt,feel as deeply. Screen Gossip. "There is no funny man in motion pictures today, not even Charlie Chap lin, who has Fred Stone's grotesque command of facial expression. He should be a wonder upon the screen." So writes a critic about the famous star of "Jack o'Lantern," who Is Hollywood to make pictures for Paramount this Summer. "When Fannie Ward admits that she Is 45 or over and has had little pieces of skin cut from her face to smooth away the wrinkles, and that Miss Bo- aad-So is 24 and looks 16, we only, love them the more because they are "Just human'," writes Iona Filmore in Motion Picture Classic. "And so let us pray all together: "From press agent stuff, good Lord deliver us." Eight years ago Norma Talmadge Journeyed from Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn, to the Vltagraph plant in quest of a movie chance. The motion picture Industry holds $10,000,000 in liberty bonds and sales through theaters have totaled $100, 000,000. Mabel Normand went to Washington recently and met Mrs. Woodrow Wil son, Vice-President Marshall and Mrs. Marshall. Mrs. Wilson witnessed a showing of the Normand -picture, "Joan of Plattsburg." The announcement or Conway Tearle's marriage to Adele Rowland of musical comedy fame has Just been made. He is now appearing with Anita Stewart in "The Mind the Faint Girl. Charlie Ray is getting to be the champion auctioneer for the Red Cross. He has made several thousand dollars for the cause by auctioning off differ ent articles for the organization. Roscoe Arbuckle, not having enough to do in writing his own stories, direct ing his own pictures and acting in them, and cutting his film, has elected himself to be an editor and Is now pub lishing a monthly sheet called "Fatty's S. R. O.," whatever that may mean. Enid Markey was borrowed from the Virginia Brissao Stock Company at San Diego, California, for four weeks, to play opposite Elmo Lincoln in the se quel to "Tarzan of the Apes." Cleo Madison is also in the cast. In connection with the recent liberty loan drive it is interesting to note that Hollywood the district In which most of the film folk live-oversubscribed its quota 600 per cent, while the re mainder of Los Angeles barely reached the quota allotted to it by the Govern ment. They say that Mack Sennett has taken up mind reading, so the members of his company are not doing much thinking: at the studio. Charlie -Ray has become. a handball fiend and is a dally fixture on the courts of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Fred Church, who was a member of the Julian Eltinge party when it was afilmlng in Portland, is now with G. M. Anderson, of Broncho Billy fame. Fred was a star in Westerns back in 1910. J. Searle Dawley had his troubles filming Eliza crossing the Delaware far "Uncle Tom's Cabin." A river in Maine was chosen for location as it was Just breaking up, but the ice proved most elusive. When Dawley was ready to shoot the ice was not ready and when the ice was ready the sky was too cloudy. For hours the dogs strained at their leashes and Eliza clutched the child, until finally the sun and ice got together and the scene was shot. ' y Of late Paramount has been hauling Wally Reld around the world. He was out West in "Believe Me. JXantippe," over on the battlefields in "The Fire fly of France," and is now in South America for "Less Than Kin." When he finishes this he will go to the Maine woods to produce "The Source," yet in spite of these trips he has not missed a meal by his own fireside. California is the wizard. Charming Ann Little has accompanied him on all . these Jaunts, and in her spare moments has had time to fix up a new bungalow In Holly wood.

But he's a pirate in one scene only, a vision Bcene where he is pictured by the girl as Calico Jack, who flew the flag of the skull and cross-bones over the seas sur rounding the island in the semi-tropics where the story is laid. Betzwood Films boasts the services of Lady Tsen Mei, a Chinese star, who Is a full-fledged graduate of Columbia Law School.

BY WILL G. MAC RAE. Staff Corrmpondent of The Oresonlan with tha American Amy iu France. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE. May 2l. The American God given gift of a Keen sense of humor developed to the nth power, a keener and, I may as well say ic broader sense of comparative relations, will be the portion of every American soldier who is lucky enough to survive and return home. Out of the great chaotlo mass of tragedy and much comedy, out of all the bad and the good which have de veloped since the United States entered this war. and which are being developed "over here" every day, it is a relief to be able to write that in spite of all the bungling, muddling, fussing and the rest of the annoying things, that Amer ican soldiers, now that they are being fed into the great yawning maw of the war machine "somewhere" on the front, all go forward with smiles on their lips and Joy in their hearts. Christmas Bovea Arrive. And, best of all. they go to do not with hatred in their hearts. Not all of the tragedy Is being en acted on the front. Here it is the 21st of May. Yesterday I was in the regi mental nostoffice when the mail ar rivexl. A truck of letter mall arrived first. In the wake of the gasoline smoke came another Henry piled high with boxes.' some as intact as when they were mailed at home, but for the most part, nearly all in a rather sadly dilap idated condition, and each box or pack age car fully marked: Contents Badly Messed. "Do not open until Christmas." Of course, the boxes were eagerly opened and inspected. The fruit cake. the sweater, the woolen socks and such imDerishable items were Intact, out in most of the boxes was a generous mix ture of woolen goods, chocolate candy, cigarettes. Bull Durham and cookies en masse. Sure the French "kiddles" In this village are feasting these days. Of course, there was used some lan guage of large denominations, but the men were glad to get the packages and boxes, even if they did carry some of the contents around the block and hand them to the first kid they saw. Even in this bit of play there is tragedy mixed with the comedy. The other day the first of the belated Christmas gifts began to arrive. That same day a detachment of the "boys were marching" off to the front. There were three brothers in tne regiment. Two were left behind and the third chosen. The two left behind had many sharp things to say about the droll twist of fate that took one and left two. They were fjjled with envy. About 20 minutes after the detail had left camp, those long overdue Christ mas boxes arrived. There was a large box for the brothers three. It was from home. Nobody in the whole wide world could imitate the handwriting of "mother," whose loving hands had sent it. Of course, there was something for all three. The older of the three boys opened the package. There on the top layer was that part of the contents intended for "the kid" and he was miles away. However, the gifts will reach "the kid," for before he reaches the trenches he will go through another course of training. General Rises From the Ranks. A bit of real comedy happened ear. Her in the week. The General in com mand of the district was making his rounds of inspection when he spied a soldier let us say he had a button of his blouse unbuttoned. The General stopped his car and spoke. General How long have you been in the service? Soldier Seventeen years, sir. General What are buttons for? Soldier To be kept buttoned, sir. General Your face Is familiar. Soldier I. too, have seen you, sir. General When was that. Sergeant? Soldier When you were a Corporal and I was your Sergeant, sir. And he named the company and the regiment. Sure enough this was so, for the Gen eral rose from the ranks, and the Ser geant Is still a Sergeant. It is the world-old story over again. Spring; Brings Scabies. Here In this village, miles behind the line. Spring has come with a Jolt. With it has come also a counter irritant the itch. Noj the seven-year itch! Nothing quite as prolonged. For the want of calling it by its pathological name, the soldiers call it the "French itch," but the Major of the "Pill Bat tery" calls it Just plain scabies. It Is contracted by soldiers who serve in the trenches, and they in turn pick up the germ from the mud. Little pimples cover the body. The eruption i.chs, becomes inflamed and if not driven away by the generous use of hot oaths and sulphur salve, nasty sores rKsulT. So far most of us have had the itch. It Is only those who scratch while they sleep that have had evil results. Lieutenant Paxton. the gas expert. had a distinguished pupil this week- the little French Mayor of this village. His honor has been an Interested spec tator at the spot where the soldiers daily take their gas Instructions. His honor, being satisfied that to go through tha gas chamber "a la Amer ica" would be some stunt, decided he would try the "great adventure." The Mayor, though he is small in physical makeup, is mighty In self esteem. Well, he went through the gas chamber &TM later the whole village was informed. with many a shrug. of the shoulders and wig-wag language of the hands, fingers and arms, of tne sensations the adventure afforded. Several weeks ago now a detachment of soldiers were sent from this station for replacement. The Pacific North west, as well as the Diotrlct of Colum bia, was represented. The point where the detachment detrained was a spot selected just then by the' Germans for bombardment from the air and for three nights the villagers and the sol diers stationed at the village had spent their nights in a lange dugout. When the officer in charge of the detachment arrived at the station, which was within sound of the big guns barking away to the north, he also noticed that some buildings near the depot looked as if some of the Krupps had found a mark. The officer arrived in the evening, and after a search he found the C O. This officer explained that the Boche alnplancs had visited and dropped bombs upon the village for three nights la succession, Ho showed the officer and 40,000 Portlanders Saw mtr V$4 within the past 3 days So, please don't have us apologizing all week because we could not take care of you.

RICE BVR.R.OVGHS ft HI where the dugout was located and said that when the "alert" sounded to get the men below. This Information was conveyed to the men. Were they frightened? Not so. that any one could notice it. All were dead tired and went to their billets early. About 9 o'clock the "alert" did sound. Then began the march to tie dugout, the 'Milage people carrying their bas kets of food and the soldiers their blankets. In the dugout waa an organ, and soon songs and muslo could - be heard above the noise of the explosions of the bombs. IV o Sleep Lost by Americans. Not all of the detachments sought the underground safety. Most of them had never been in an air raid so they scampered to a big field near by and watched , the display. When the Lieu tenant rounded up the men after the Boches had flown away he found his soldiers back in their billets sound asleep. When the officer scolded the men, they said: "We did not return to billets before the whistles of the village blew 'all safe,' and, anyway. Lieutenant, it would be a helufa note if a little thing like a Boche air raid should cheat a lot of American soldiers out of a night's good sleep." Then they began to grumble because it was several hours before the time set for their moving on up to the trenches. This is Just a fair sample of the American soldier. Even the breaking up of regiments has failed to dampen the spirits of the men. There is a universal regret that such a thing Is necessary, but the big complaint one hears these days Is one of envy be cause the other fellow has been chosen to go forward and he is left behind. During these May days of endeavor ing to visit the various units I daily come across former Portlanders. At a Y. M. C. A. hut not far from this village I found Mrs. Mary M. Talbot, wife of a well-known Portland min ister. Mrs. Talbot has been away from Portland for some time. In fact, she and her husband were abroad when the war broke out. Now she is working narci at -tnis American Army camp. wiiie ner nusoand is at another Amerl can baee many miles away. MARINERS ARE PRAISED Cruiser and Transport Force Com mended by Admiral Cleaves. .
