Secretary John K. Koilock. of the State
Council of Defense, at conclusion of a
heated hearing -under sponsorship of
the state executive committee or the
fourth liberty loan. The purpose is
that this committee may complete In
vestigation of the proposal and present
a recommendation, based on its con
clusions, to the Council of Defense.
The protest hearing before the lib

day convened to consider phases of the
drastic closing resolution. The res

chandise stores at P. M. during the

by drugstores and the business of
restaurants is excepted.
Telegraphic Protests Filed. .
During the day opposition of busi
ness Interests crystallized not only in
the hastily 'called meetings but later
poured forth in a flood of protest to State
and Congressional executives and dele
gations have been named to call upon
Governor Withycombe in person tpday.
. The big conference hearing was held
at 4:30 o'clock in the assembly-room
of the Portland Hotel. Edward Cook
in Rham. chairman of the liberty loan
executive committee, presided, and it
was at his suggestion that the Council
of Defense members present agreed to
the six-day delay in making the resolu
tion effective. It was at the request
of affected business interests and be
cause of the bearing the closing rule
would have on liberty loan subscrip
tions and payments that this body as
sumed the Judicial role.
Conference of the liberty loan exec
utives with representatives of the re
tail interests a,nd of the Council of
Defense was announced for 11 o'clock
today. If the advisory body can com
plete its inquiry it is expected to place
a recommendation in the hands of the
council at once.
Rraolntloa Declared Vnfalr.
W. T. Hume represented " the Anti
Blue Law League of Portland at the
hearing. He drew from Mr. Woodward
the admission that such closing re
strictions as proposed for Oregon are
being tried out in but two or three
states and that they rest on no .law
or Federal power, but merely upon
the will of the people concerned.
"The act rests on no law whatever,"
aid Mr. Woodward. "You can disre
gard it and disobey it as you will."
On this point, however, he had stated
that the Council of Defense would leave
no stone unturned to bring the clos
ing regulation into effect.
At 2 o'clock the Anti-Blue Law
League held a meeting in the Sol Hart
Cigar Company store. Between 50 and
SO retailers representing cigar, con
fectionery, ice cream and grocery lines
and men of political prestige were pres
ent. Reports of the appeals to Gov
ernor Withycombe were given, a pe
tition to him was unanimously signed,
messages to Congressional Representa
tives were framed, a committee to visit
Salem was named, funds were contrib
uted and a meeting to be held in the
green room of the Chamber of Com
merce building at 10 o'clock Uia morn
ing was arranged.
Goverar 1 ricrd to Art.
There was practically unanimous
agreement among the league members,
advised by Mr. Hume and the leaders,
that the o'clock closing restriction,
then expected to become effective to
morrow evening, would be ignored.
Earlier In the day a conference of
cigar, confectionery and billiard par
lor interests had been held at the
Brunawick-Balke-Collender Company's
office.
Protests of the various meetings of
the day may be summarized in a quota
tion from the petition being transmitted
to the Governor, as follows:
"We do earnestly and respectfully
protest against the enforcement of such
order, for the reason that enforcement
of same would be a menace threaten
ing the destruction or the small retail
dialers and untold financial losa and
injury to all wholesale dealers.
"We are at all times cheerfully sup
porting the Government in the enforce
ment of all measures and activities
made necessary by the war. but protest
against a local measure which will in
fhet such widespread business disaster
as to materially Interfere with our
financial support of Government war
activities, and we respectfully solicit
your official aid and Influence to pre
vent the State Council of Defense from
taking any action to enforce or fur

ferred to. We appeal to you to protect
us from threatened ruin."

Mr. Gleason is in splendid condition.

He wears a stripe on his sleeve, indi

end of the war.'
Like practically all the men who

believes the allied armies have the situ,

many. Place a low estimate upon the
fighting qualities of the Germans still

of capture of boys In German uniform
so far as those stories leave the infer

resort to a considerable degree to

with the 26th Aero Squadron, Third

was chauffeur for Lieutenant Quentin
Roosevelt, recently killed in France.
"Lieutenant Roosevelt certainly was
good to me. He is the one who gave
me my chauffeur's rating, too.
"I have been offered a good Job, here
In France after the war, but -I believe
It will be the good old U. S. A. for
me, and the sooner I get back tne Dei

land In Arizona than 100 I- France, pro.
vidlng I had to live on It.
In a letter to his father, W. J. Legg,
of this city. Chauffeur Legs said: "Yes,
Lieutenant Roosevelt was killed and
they found his grave outside of one of
the towns they captured. They (the
Huns) had It marked 'Lieutenant Quen

that. They also built a fence around
the grave.

lots of English walnuts and we gener

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 29. General So
ukhomlinoff. Minister of War in the
Russian Imperial Cabinet from 1909 to
1915, who was reported court-martialed
September 6 and shot the same day, has
succeeded In escaping from Russia after
a most adventurous flight. He was
arrested upon his arrival on Finnish
soil but will be granted his freedom at
a station in Finland where his wife
went after her acquittal on a charge of
high treason.
General Soukhomlinoff was sentenced
to hard labor for life on September 26,
1917, by a Petrograd court, after being
found guilty of high treason, abuse of
confidence and fraud. General Soukho
mlinoft was charged with being respon
sible for the breakdown of the Russian
army while he was in office because he
failed to increase the output of muni
tions and prevented the military de
partment from supplying troops with
guns and shells.
It also was alleged that he had com
municated secret nformation to Ger
man agents and that he and his wife
had accepted bribes from contractors.
The trial developed that all these
charges were true.

"The position of St. Quentin must be

these orders, which added: "The Idea

The German positions, consisting of
old French trenches, -blockhouses and
deep wire entanglements, had been
considerably widened and strengthened
since the enemy retired from the Mont

were as usual machine-gun nests
thickly spread among the ravines and

"Overcoming vigorous resistance the
French captured Urvillers and Cerizy,

prisoners have been counted:
Between the Ailette and Aisne the
French advanced about two kilometers
on both sides of the Chemin Des Dames
and occupied Fargny-Filain and Ostel.
"On the Champagne front the French

as
AMSTERDAM, Sept.-29. Germany,
through the Swiss legation, has sent an
ultimatum to the Government of the
United States that If no satisfactory
answer is forthcoming on October 1 to
the German protest about the use of
shotguns by American soldiers, "reprisals-will
be taken."
A semi-official telegram from Berlin
gives the following additional details
of the note:
"From prisoners captured during a
skirmish between patrols on July 27 a
repeating shotgun was taken. The
prisoners, who belonged to American
Infantry Regiment 307 of the 77th Divi
sion, stated their patrol possessed three
such guns, each loaded with six cart
ridges and each cartridge containing
nine ehots of size 00.
"Another shotgun was captured on
September 11 from the Third Infantry
Regiment of the Fifth American divi
sion.
"The use of such weapons is forbid
den by The Hague convention as caus
ing unnecessary suffering. The Ger
man government protests energetically
and expects from the United States that
steps will be taken immediately to dis
continue the employment of shotguns."
WASHINGTON, Sept 29. The Ger
man protest against the use of shot
guns by American troops has been re
ce: ed at the State Department and an
answer soon will be dispatched.
Shotguns are - used by American
troops, it was said today, only as au
thorized by the accepted rules of war.
They are employed In general police
work and in guarding prisoners, being
more desirable for such work than the
high-powered Army rifle, because the
firing of the latter might result in the
death or injury of persons It was not
intended to hit
Germany's threat of reprisals Is not
causing any anxiety among American
officials. The Americans hold 100 Ger
man prisoners to every ten Americans
in enemy prison camps.
