THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST IT, 1918. DE MUD PLANE WAR TEST STANDS Liberty Motor Vindicated Reconnaissance Flight l Over Enemy Lines. BAKER TELLS OF SUCCESS Eighteen American-Built Machines Take Part In Important Op eration and Return 4 . "Without Loss. TVASHINGTOX. Auc. . 16. General Pershing today advised the War D partment that early in August a com' plete squadron of 18 Do Haviland four airplanes, built in the L'nUed States and equipped with Liberty motors, sue cessfully carried out the first recon naissanee flight of American-built mi chines behind the German lines. They returned without loss. In maklnr this announcement. Secre tary Baker said that Brigadier-General Foolois. of the American air service. led the expedition. Secretary Baker said he had no othe Information regarding; the flight except that Lieutenant Blair Thaw was on th trip. The Secretary withheld the time and place. i The annonncement was considered by officers as settlnir at rest rumors that the De Haviland machines were not a success and also as showing: that the liberty motors have now prpved themselves In actual war conditions. The flight undoubtedly was a scout lac trip. QaaarJry Prod act lea Gnna. No recent figures on the production f the De Haviland fours are available and Secretary Baker would not sane tlon their discussion. The production of the 1000th machine at the plant of the Dayton-W right Company was re eently celebrated and since then an other great plant has come into quan tlty production. It Is assumed the squadron mentioned today is now regularly operating at the front, which means that a large number of reserve machined are on hand. There was much discussion of the De Haviland ftours recently due to criti cal reports from the aviation service abroad on the machines first .received. Investigation here showed the specific complaint were minor In character. The history of the production of the De Haviland four, which is a British design. Is regarded as a tribute to American engineering skill, as it was put into production on plans largely worked out from a model plana sent from England. The model was Intended only to get the plants going; and keep them going until the later model, the De Haviland nine, should be ready. Plans for this model were greatly delayed In England and the four was taken up to prevent delay In production here. New Design lasproTeateat. Many of the criticisms of the Da Hav iland fours. It is understood, are met la the design of the De Haviland nine. The nines do not represent anynota ble change from the fours, the later nodel being a refinement of the earlier machines. Both are two-seated, high speed day bombers, equipped either to fight, bomb or scout under conditions that require high speed and easy ma neuvering qualities. The type was -adopted as a compro mise between these varying fields of military aircraft in order to provide an efficient machine for general use to be supplemented by heavier. slower, weight-carrying night bombers and by the swift single-seated combat ma chines used to protect observing and tombing planes from enemy raiders. STORAGE ROOM SHORT CAR SCAJtCITT ALSO FACES IDAHO FARMERS. erieaa Ceaaitleaa la Crop SKaatlea Be Placce! Before Federal Represeatatlves. BOISE. Idaho, Aug. (Special.) When Max Houser, vice-president of the Grain Corporation, holds a confer ence her Monday night with the State Council of Defense and R. F. Bicknell. Federal food administrator, he will have laid before him soma startling facts In connection with the crop situa tion within Idaho. This situation could not be more seri ous as viewed by the State Council. There ara not only insufficient cars with which to move the crop, but the storage facilities are entirely Inade qutae to properly safeguard the grain. It Is estimated the yield Is at least one thfrd greater than the yield of 1917. . It will also be shown that some ar rangement abould be made to see that the grower is paid In cash when he de livers his grain at the Government figures and to guard against speculation- on his crop. Instead of requiring htm to wait an Indefinite period for the amount due him. In some sections dealers ara already cutting the Gov ernment prices, it Is contended, and these facts will be called to the at tention of Mr. Houser. This Is a Joint conference for the Food Administrators of Idaho, Wash ington and Oregon, and general food, storage and crop problems will be dis cussed. The entire conference will be occupied In attempting to solve them. The State Council has asked to pre sent facts governing the (rain and storage situation. ALLIED ADVANCE TOLD HUE THOUSAND TROOPS ENGAGED IX SIBERIA OPERATIONS. the troops marched along the Arch angel-Vologda railway with orders to halt at Trusanovskaya, 70 -miles south of Archangel. "The flotilla was first fired upon from both river banks near Kakutskaya and a half mile further on encountered a barricade of sunken boats, which im peded further progress. Hera the- troops were compelled to land to await fresh orders. "Nor did the land troops reach their goal. They encountered their first re eistance by the Soviet troops at the point where the Log River. Intersects the railway.. The entente forces halted here. This movement seemed a feint, and the main operation apparently Is on the Dvina River. "Monday night there arrived at So lorabolsk, near Archangel, four trans ports, from which an American con tingent waa transferred directly to barges In the mouth of the river with out touching at Archangel. "Admiral Kemp (British) on Mondsy KEEPING VOIR PLEDGE. W. S. S. Buy your stamps early. Those you purchase are evidence that you are keeping your pledge. You also pledged yourself to economize during the war. The Government is requesting that you do not buy articles not nec essary for your health and effi ciency.

CIVIL WAR NURSE RECALLS OLD DAYS Alice Carey Risley Tells of Car ing for Blue-Clad Boys Back in '62. WORN PASSES TELL STORY JITNEY SERVICE ASSAILED PROFITEERING AT KXPEXSE SOLDIERS ALLEGED. - OF Drivers Notified fcy Authorities to Raa More Early Cars to Vaaeoover Low Rate. Profiteering at the expense of sol diers stationed at Vancouver Barracks by jitney drivers running machines be tween Vancouver and Portland was the subject of an investigation by the mill tary police and military authorities yesterday. Aa a result of the lnvestl gation approximately 20 Jitney drivers convened in session yesterday and promised the authorities that they would comply with the request of the military authorities for better service for the soldiers stationed at the Bar racks. Men without special leave and passes ara expected to report to the Barracks by 11 o'clock the same night. The fare charged by the jitney drlv- rs running between Vancouver and Portland is 25 cents up until 11 o'clock. After that time the price is 60 cents per person. The Jitneys are supposed to leave Broadway and Washington at close intervals up until 11 o'clock, to permit the soldiers to reach the Bar racks on time. The Vancouver car that leaves Portland at 10:10 o'clock does not arrive at Vanoouver until 11:05 and as a, result of the profiteering adopted by the Jitney drivers many sol diers have been late to arrive at the Barracks at night and have spent a night in the guardhouse. It Is alleged by the military police t the Barracks that the Jitney drivers would not appear at the stand between 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock, when the men wished to return, but promptly at 11 'clock a string of about 20 jitneys would line up to take the soldiers back to the Barracks at 60 cents each. The authorities have served notice on the Jitneys to run the Jitneys at close Intervals of time up until 11 o'clock so as to enable the soldiers to return to the Barracks on time. Unless the profiteering evil Is abated. say military authorities, the Jitneys be tween Portland and Vancouver may be taken over by the Government so that the soldiers can receive a square deal.

Gray-Haired Woman Describes Vlv Idly Her Escape Following; Order That 'o One Could Enter or Leave New Orleans. Out of the time when God-given Judgment served in the stead of the theory of asepsis and when the care of tender hands was practically the only known therepeutle for wounds and the diseases of war, Mrs. Alice Carey Risley, president of the Civil War Nurses Association, who arrived yesterday from Jefferson City, Mo. holds no brief for the costumed figure of today who will be responsible for the khaki men in France. "Where would we have been back in 62 if three years training- had been required of our girls before they could enter the hospitals?" she asked. There were no such things as trained nurses. We women came in from our homes and we did as the doctors told us to do. With all this training I can't see that the girls of today are doing much more and that doesn't require much more than good common sense."

NO ORDER 0NAUT0S MADE Dealers Told Curtailment of Produc tion Not Decided Upon. WASHINGTON. Aug. 1. Automobile dealers meeting with the War Indus tries Board today were told that no definite order curtailing motor-car pro duction had yet been Issued. The deal era agreed, however, to assist in devis ing ways and' meana o stop the un necessary use of passenger cars. head around the pillars of the Multno mah Hotel lobby In search of the fa miliar faces of old comrades whom she had known and nursed in the dark days of the old war. Work la Hospitals Told. 1 don't know where they get the Idea that we nuraes are old women and want to be put off in a. quiet place," she said. "It's all a mistake. We come all this way to see the boys. We be long to the other women's organiza tions, but it Isn't that we come for. We want to talk, over the war with the comrades. Wo fought the Civil War right alongside of them and our inter est Is Just as keen in it as theirs." Though frail and white-haired with the years that have passed since she was a 16-year-old girl in the hospitals of New Orleans, following its capture by General Butler, Mrs. Risley is as sprightly and as lithe as she must have been a half century ago. In a little worn memoranda book she carries the names of the "boys" she nursed be tween '62 and '65. The little book is worn threadbare, but the names are still legible, and after many of them is the terse legend, "dead, and the date. I have brought this book with me to the encampments for the past 30 years." said Mrs. Risley. "It refreshes my memory and helps me attach the names to the faces. Quite often I meet some of the boys we nursed, many of whom we cared for, my mother and I, right In our own home." Worn Passes Tell Story. with the little book she carries a batch of worn passes which were issued to her In regular army form by the head surgeons of the New Orleans hos pitala, allowing her "to coma and go any time of the day or night." Few stories of fiction or actual ex perience can exceed the thrilling ad ventures of Mrs. Risley and her brave young mother, who, at the time of the capture of 'New Orleans by the Union forces, were living in one of the bayou towns of Louisiana which were still in the hands of the Confederacy. Of New England blood, they became ob jects of hate and derision at the out break of the war. Her father waa forced to leave the town and escaped, feeling that his wife and child would come to no harm from the people who had been his neighbors. Twice Mrs. Risley saw with her own eyes mobs gathered to hang her mother and It was .then that the two women planned their escape into the Union lines. Dick Taylor and his Texas troops had come to New Iberia and had issued orders that no one could pass through the lines without a pass. General Butler had issued orders that no one could come In or out of New Orleans without a pass. The time came when they were forced to run both picket lines. Sensational Escape Described. Two attempts were made to escape on a river boat, but both times a mob gathered to klU "the Yankee spy." Fin ally they were smuggled Into Brashear City, only to find that Dick Taylor had sent a troop of cavalry to capture them. They fled on to the next town, to be herded back to Brashear City. They hid under an old wharf in the darkness, and finally boarded a skiff in the bay, where they stayed for two days with only a piece or two of Jerked beef for food. They managed to drift up the Missis sippi River and were fed here and there by the negroes from the plantations they passed. One afternoon they were ordered to halt by a Union picket on the shore and after some persuasion they were admitted through the Union lines and from there found their way to New Orleans, where they rejoined the father. Old Veterans Are Passins;. From then until the end of the war both women gave their whole time and energy to the sickened soldiers' Gun shot wounds held little terror for them compared with the fearful fevers which knew no staying and which ravaged the whole Southern country. Falthfullj the little girl, who at times cared for 100 men in a ward by herself, tended the wounded of her north country and to her they can never grow old. ."There are fewer of them every year," she said last night, "but they still remember the old days. Somehow these khaki soldiers around here un derfoot only seem like cadets. The only soldiers I ever knew were the ones in the blue."
