ALLIED WAR SHOW
FULL OF INTEREST
More Than 2000 Death-Dealing
Implements Exhibited
by U. S. Government.
TRENCH SYSTEM IS UNIQUE
Monster British Armored Tank, War
Airships of Many Makes, Enor
mous Mines, Sea Bombs and
Divers Among Collection.
RAN FRANCISCO, July 7. More than
2000 war trophies, a great exhibit of
implements used in the world war,
were seen here today in the opening
of the Allied War Exposition under
auspices of the United States Govern
ment Direct from the battle zones, these
trophies are -shown here for the first
time in North America. War's most
terrible death implements from the
sky, from the field and trenches and
from under the sea are shown. A
monster British armored tank, war air
ships of many makes, great sea bombs,
enormous mines and portions of cap
tured submarines, field pieces and
howitzers make up a bewildering col
lection of weapons of offense and de
fense. There are in all 2246 trophies- in
American, English, Canadian, French,
Italian and Belgian sections.
In another part of the exposition a
small cross-section of the battle front
is reproduced. Each afternoon Ameri
can soldiers and jaekies, with British
soldiers manning the tank, engage in
mimic battle in which machine guns
and artillery are used with spectacular
effect, the shells and bullets being dis
charged into an embankment.
French System Unique.
A complete trench system has been
constructed under direction of officers
from the battle zone, in which, actual
conditions of the front lines are shown.
The working outfits of war relief or
ganizations, including the Red Cross
and Y. M. C. A., have a place in the ex
position. After two weeks in San Francisco,
the exposition will probably be held in
Los Angeles and later in Denver, Kan
sas City, Chicago and cities farther
east.
77 BODIES ARE RECOVERED
1'ccleral Agents Investigate Sinking
of Steamer Columbia.
PEORIA. 111., July 7. Seventy-seven
bodies had been recovered tonight
from the wreckage of the steamer Co
lumbia. Earl R. Barnewoolt, diver, to
day said there were fully 25 more
bodies pinned within the wreckage of
the excursion steamer.
An investigation of the sinking is
under way. United States inspectors
were at the scene of the tragedy and
questioned survivors. They also sum
moned members of the crew, whom
they questioned separately. The na
ture of the investigation was not dis
closed. WIRE STRIKE CALLED OFF
(Continued From First Pag-e.)
all but five were Democrats. Thla is
the first time that bo large a number
of Democrats has manifested & dis
position to kick over the traces..
The rebellious move failed because
Democratic Leader Kitchin in. tbe
House refused to allow the passage of
the yenate recess resolution. The re
calcitrant Democratic, Senators were
left therefore in the position of par
ticipants in an unsuccessful revolu
tion. Anticipating' punishment by the
White House for their temerity they
are busy explaining today. Many of
them unload the blame upon Senator
Martin, the majority leader, contend
ing that he concealed Mr. Wilson'
desire that the Senate should remain
on the job and represented the Presi
dnt as not opposed to a recess.
The meeting of telegraphers was
held, as announced, last night, at the
I. O. U. T. Hall. At this session Mr.
Kelly instructed all who had been in
Htrumental in spreading notification of
the strike to pass out news of its
postponement.
Secretary K. J. Stack, of the Oregon
State Federation of Labor, told of the
interest at the National session of the
American Federation of Labor in the
cause of the telegraphers. He assured
those at the meeting that the parent
organization will give full support to
the keymen in their fight against the
Western Union.
President Otto R. Hartwig, f the
Ft ate federation, deprecated attempts
of Western Union heads to foster an
organization among its employes
which is not definitely linked up with
organized labor. The whole movement
was characterized as one of pure
camouflage," destined to result in
nothing worth while.
LOCAL OFFICE GIVEX XOTICE
Postponement Viewed as Forecast
ing Government Control.
Official notification that the telegra
pher's strike against the Western Union
is not to be put into effect this morn
ing was received late yesterday by
James K. Kelly, organizer and president
of the local branch of the Commercial
Telegrapher's Union.
The message from President S. J.
Konenkamp to Mr. Kelly stated that
the strike call is temporarily revoked in
deference to request of Secretary of
Labor Wilson. It asked that all teleg
raphers be instructed to report for
work as usual today. Mr. Kelly stated
that he immediately began carrying out
this part of the injunction.
The hour of the strike in Portland
was set lor 4 o'clock this morning.
Loral keymen and employes of the
telegrph companies see in postpone
ment of the strike at Secretary Wilson's
request a definite forecast that Presi
dent Wilson expects to win in his move
to take over the telegraph and tele
phono lirtps.

TANK FLEET WINS VICTORY
Allied Leviathans Obliterate Nests
of Machine Guns and Grind Gun
ners Into Earth; German In
fantry Bolts at Sight.
WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, July 7. (By the Associated
Press.) No further attempt by the
Germans to re-take the ground wrest
ed from them Thursday by the Aus
tralian and American attacks has been
reported.
The Australians Friday night again
drove forward just south, of Vaire
wood and jammed the Germans back
some 400 yards more along a front of
2000 yards.
Crews Oronnd Into Kartsu
Details now are available concern
ing the work of the fleet of tanks last
Thursday. Officers say this was one
of the most economical assaults ever
undertaken on the British front, be
cause the tanks mopped up machine
gun posts and strong points in ad
vance. Whole machine gun crews were
literally ground into the earth.
One group "destroyed or captured
more than 30 machine guns and brought
about surrender of at least 200 Ger
mans. Many Germans were slain by
these great engines.
Taken as a whole the infantry sur
rendered or bolted on the approach.
The German machine gunners, how
ever, fought to the last in many in
stances. Path Cleared for Infantry.
Numerous times the Australian and
American infantrymen co-operated
with tank crews and gave them the
direction from which machine gun fire
was coming. In every case the tank
was able to deal with the rapid firers
and thus allow the infantry to ad
vance. One tank, which was 200 yards in
front of the allied infantry, destroyed
a nest of six German machine guns by
running over it after the gun crews re
fused to surrender. Another tank
crushed rapid firers, but another ma
chine gun continued firing at a dis
tance of five or six yards. This gun,
in turn, was run over and destroyed,
together with its crew.
At one point a tank moved against
a mound which seemed a likely place
for a machine gun. No sign of the
enemy was to be seen at first, but
after the tank had circled the mound
once, about 40 Germans came out of a

Hall, Hartford, Conn.
Harry L. Depp enlisted in Company
C, Third Oregon, in June. 1917. At the
time of his enlistment he was super
intendent of production in the machine
shop of the Willamette Iron & Steel
Works, living with his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. John E. Depp, 334 Glenn ave
nue. He sailed for service overseas in
December, and spent Christmas day on
a transport en route to England.
A, telegram from the War Depart
ment was received by the father Fri
day evening conveying the informa
tion that Harry had been severely
wounded June 3. It is possible that
this was an error in transmission, and
Mr. Depp has asked for a verification.
The last letter received was dated
June 3, when he was well and wrote
cheerfully. He was then assigned to
the Third Motor Battalion. First Regi
ment ammunition train.
Harry L. Depp was born in Pennsyl
vania and came to Portland with his
parents in 1908. He began work soon
thereafter and attended night school
at the T. M. C. A., qualifying himself
for the work which he afterwards
took up in the machine shop. He cele
brated his 24th birthday in France,
April 18. John E. Depp, his father, is
a carpenter and is at present working
at the Northwest Steel Company with
Contractor Wakefield.

camouflaged trench and ran toward
the allied infantry to surrender.
During the consolidation of the new
lines the tanks patroled the front for
nearly half an hour for protection.
On one sector, where snipers in a corn
field were making things uncom
fortable for the men at work on the
defenses, a tank advanced across No
Man's Land and fired several shells
into the corn. With the explosions,
many of the enemy jumped up in vari
ous parts of the field and all were
killed by the fire from the tank.
Several officers have said since the
battle that the prospects for victory
never seemed so bright as now. The
latest work of the tanks has really
opened their eyes to the possibilities
of causing the Germans heavy defeats,
with slight casualties to the attacking
infantry.
RiSH SITUATION STIRS
MIL ROOSEVELT ASKED TO HELP IN
RECRUITING DRIVE.
"Send Me a Word of Encouragement,"
Is Part of Message Sent to Ei
President by Colonel Lynch.
DUBLIN, July 7. (By the Associated
Press.) Colonel Arthur Lynch, Nation
alist member of Parliament, who re
cently accepted a commission to assist
in the recruiting campaign of Ireland,
has sent an appeal to Theodore Roose
velt for co-operation. In the course
of the communication Colonel Lynch
says:
"Send me a word of encouragement
or, better still, come yourself and help
me win the young men of Ireland to
the allies' cause. There are grave and
deep difficulties, lamentable stories of
cheated hopes, unrecognized rights and
hatreds for wrongs inflicted in the
past. But one feature throws these
matters into the proper perspective, the
fact that the Germans are thundering
at the gates of Paris, are hammering
at the channel ports.
, "If they win it will be needless to
make plans for Ireland or dream dreams
of liberty. Potsdam will take care of
Erin.
"When the Stars and Stripes was
raised over the cause; when Old Glory
had blown out her folds, the emblem
of liberty, a sign of protection to mil
lions of Irishmen, I had hoped that
opposition to the allies would close.
But ancient wrongs and present re
sentment proved too strong."
OYSTER BAY. "july 7. When in
formed tonight by the Associated
Press of Colonel Lynch's appeal to him
for assistance in the recruiting cam
paign in ' Ireland, Colonel Roosevelt
displayed deep interest in the pro
posal. He said, however, that he could
make no formal comment until he had
received personally the message from
Colonel Lynch.

Plunge Into Affray and

SNIPERS ARE CLEANED OUT
Sergeant and Three Privates Enter
Dark Dugout and Capture
16 Boehes Daring of
Americans Noted.
(By the Associated Press.)
WITH. THE BRITISH ARMY IN
FRANCE, July 7. The correspondent
slept on the ground last night among
the troops of one star company of
Americans who played l prominent
part in Thursday's great show. Here
is a story told by one of the officers:
"The Americans went into the line
after a hard march. The Fritzes un
doubtedly had no inkling that the at
tack was to be made. At midnight
Wednesday we were sent forward to lie
out, ready for an advance at 3:10
o'clock Thursday morning.
"Many of our boys were tired when
tfiey reached the positions and despite
the fact that they were just embarking
on the biggest adventure of their lives
a leap into the unknown they threw
themselves on the ground and slept
soundly. It was an encouraging sign
to us, for it meant that the men were
not jumpy. They never did show any
sign of nerves, as a matter of fact.
Australian Officers Cool.
"For us officers there was no sleep.
"We had to admire the coolness of
the Australian officers, who told stories
and laughed as if nothing was going
to happen, though we Americans knew
that shortly before the kick-off the
gunners would put down a barrage
which would be the signal for all hands
on the job.
"A few minutes before the barrage
was due the allied artillery opened with
a harassing fire and we American of
ficers were out among our men hotfoot
to keep them steady, fearing they
might mistake it for the barrage.
"Then came the barrage and we
never dreamed there could be such gun
fire. It was tremendous. The gun
ners certainly did wonderful. The. in
fantry started to advance. My men
were headed for Hamel village and our
first trouble was encountered in a
broad belt of barbed wire in front of
Boche forward lines of defenses. The
tanks had opened the way through
most of this, but in spots some of our
men were held up for a little.
Corporal Caujrht In Wires.
"I saw a funny thing here. One of
my corporals, who had been a guard
officer in a penitentiary and has a
reputation for being a hard customer
in a fight, got hung up in the wire.
As he had no cutters he sat down and
started pulling the stuff out of bis
legs, barb by barb.
"A Boche got a machine on him and
was making things hot, but the cor
poral kept on pulling the wire, mean
time roaring curses at the Huns.
- " 'Frajrie a. trick Ilka this on a white
man, will you? Let me out of here
and I'll show you.
"He got out and what he did to the
Boche was a plenty.
"About this time a German shell ex
ploded near us and two of my men
went hurtling through the air. I
thought sure they were killed, but in
a minute I heard one call to his pal:
Hey, John, are you dead?"
"From down among the churned up
ground came the response: 'No, are
you?'
Allied Fire la Fatal.
"We got through the barbed wire
very well and reached the Boche front
line trenches. They were thinly held
and we cleared them out with bombs
and rifles, on the jump. We hardly
stopped here at all, but passed over
toward the village.
"You understand that when I speak
of 'we' I am talking about the Yan
kees and the Australians, for we were
only helping in the show.
"The support trenches, which had
dug-outs, were more strongly held,
but we cut our way through without
much difficulty. A lot of Huns were
being killed or captured by this time.
From the direction of Hamel the Ger
man machine guns and rifles were
working hard and there was plenty of
stuff coming our way.
Dugouts Filled With Bodies.
"When we reached Hamel we found
a lot of dugouts filled with Bodies
and their snipers up trees with ma
chine guns. We cleaned them all out
systematically.
"One of our sergeants, with an
American private and an Australian
came upon a dugout containing four
German officers and some men. The
officers started to come up and one of
them pulled a revolver. The sergeant
shot him through the head and two of
the other officers who started to fight
were killed. The rest surrendered.
"In another dugout one of our ser
geants and three privates captured 16
Germans.
"Just to the left of Hamel an Aus
tralian corporal and two privates
cleared out another dugout containing
numerous Germans.
Final Objective Kenched.
"We worked around the Vafre and
Hamel woods, which had been pretty
well cleared of the Boche by gunfire.
Just In front of Vaire wood one of our
boys, whom we called 'Scotty had a
great experience. He came to a dug
out filled with Boches, who had been
left behind the American advance. He
naturally thought some of our men
were there and went down. It was
dark, so he called to his supposed pals.
The answer was a crack on the head.
"He knew then they were not Yan
kees and opened fire with his rifle in
the blackness. Finally, a Boche began
to yell 'kamerad.' When the fight was
over it was found that he had killed
five . Germans and he took nine pris
oners. "We got through to our final objec
tives all right and carried out the con
solidation without much interference
from the Boche, who did not recup
erate quickly."

French Women May Look to Amer

Dr. Esther Clayson Lovejoy. recently
returned from France, where she
worked with the Red Cross, told a ca
pacity congregation at the East Side
Christian Church last night that the
French women were delighted to find
the American men such fine specimens
of manhood, because they realize that
with the heavy toll of Frenchmen tak
en by the war, the French women
would seek husbands in the American
soldiers now In France.
"And another thing. I found the
French women and girls studiously
engaged in learning English in order
to become better acquainted with the
American men." said Dr. Lovejoy. "And
they are splendid women, who will
make splendid wives."
The address was one of the most in

return and followed a. patriotic day at
the church, where a war savings
stamp society has been organized 100

"PROVED A FINE
INVESTMENT"
SHE DECLARES
Mrs. Brown Wants Everyone to
Know About Good Tanlac
Is Doing.
"Well. I have bought four bottles of
Tanlac now and it has proven to be a
splendid investment for me," said Mrs.
Clara Brown, residing at 200 East 19th.
street, while in the Owl Drug Com
pany's store recently.
"About five years ago." ebe con
tinued, "my appetite began to fall me
and I have been gradually going down
hill ever since. During the past year
my condition became considerably
worse. My food did not seem to assimi
late properly and did me little or no
good. During the past six months,
especially. I lost a great deal in weight,
nothing tasted good to me, and I had
gotten to where I had no energy. My
nerves were so torn up that some
nights I could hardly sleep at all. I
felt tired all the time and Just had to
drag myself around. I was constipated
all the time, often had headache and
to see my health going to pieces eo
rapidly alarmed me. None of the many
medicines I tried seemed to do me any
good and I became discouraged and de
spondent, as it looked like nothing
could help me.
"I made up my mind from what I
read about Tanlac and from the good
results my son-in-law and his father
had gotten from it, that it was what
I needed, too. and I have not been dis
appointed. It has done me a world of
good already and I am just so glad to
see how perfectly my health is being
restored that I feel like telling every
body what is doing it. My appetite is
fine, what I eat tastes good, and the
fact that I have gained several pounds
in weight shows how well my food
agrees with me. I am so much strong
er and more energetic that I can do
my work without tiring like I did. By
using the Tanlac Tablets every few
days I am relieved of constipation and
I don't ever have any more headaches.
I am nothing like as nervous as I used
to be. I sleep good and am beginning
to feel like myself again."
There are thousands of people who
complain of being nervous and run
down. They are not sick exactly, but
feel tired ovrt and good for nothing
most of the time. They need some
thing to build them up and throw off
the symptoms of this weakened, de
bilitated condition.
The system, besides being purified
by Tanlac, is toned up and invigorated,
as the medicine, aside from assisting
the blood, reinvigorates the constitu
tion, overcoming, as it seems to quickly
do. nervousness. Indigestion, non
assimilation of the food, headache,
backache, kidney derangements, gen
eral debility and many other com
plaints that are eo common to the
thousands of half-eick, depressed men
and women.

GET NEW KIDNEYS!
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when
they fail in their work of filtering out
and throwing off the poisons developed
in the system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or
stiffness in the lower part of the back;
highly colored urine; loss of appetite;
Indigestion ; irritation, or even stone in
the bladder. These symptoms indicate
a condition that may lead to that
dreaded and fatal malady, Bright's dis
ease, for which there is said to be no
cure.
You can almost certainly find imme
diate relief in GOLD MEDAL Haarlem
Oil Capsules. For more than 200 years
