OUTPUT SUDDENLY HALTED
Emergency Call for Help Comes as
Result of Explosion at Big
Plant Last Week.
Again Oregon is appealed to by the
National Government to respond to an
emergency call. Shell-loaders for mu
nitions factories are wanted at once.
Because of the explosion last Friday in
the plant at Perth Amboy, N. J., there
is a decided reduction in the output of
ammunition for Pershing's men, and
each state is asked by Nathan A. Smith,
assistant director-general of the United
States Employment Service, to furnish
men needed to offset the loss of the
biggest shell -loading plant in the
United States.
Secretary Kollock, of the State Coun
cil of Defense, received notice from
Washington yesterday that Oregon
would be asked to furnish its quota of
munitions workers for factories in
other parts or the country. The num
ber expected of this state probably will
be known today. Secretary ICollock is
sued bulletins . yesterday to county
councils, and when the allotment is
made at Washington Oregon's quota
will be apportioned among the counties.
Labor Shortage Serious.
In his call for workers, Mr. Smith
Bays work in small munitions plants
is badly hampered because of shortage!
of labor, and it is estimated that 139,
000 unskilled men are needed at once.
"The only way to make god the
loss in shells," he says, "and keep j
Pershing's men going is to fill this
labor siiortage at once. In view of
these facts, a reallocation of total
labor demands among the states will
be made at once. The requirements
in you n state will tax your efforts.
They can be filled only by getting
men from non-essential community
labor."
Immediate Relief Urgent.
Frankjin K. Lane, chairman of the
field division, Council of National De
fense, yesterday sent the following
telegram to Secretary Ivollock:
"A stock of high explosive shells im
peratively needed in France has been
destroyed and the flow of these sup
plies has been retarded, not only for
the present moment but for months to
come, unless immediate relief is pro
vided. This loss must be made up
at once by putting additional bur
dens on all other American munition
plants. Within the next 48 hours the
number of men to be supplied from
your state will be wired by the United
States Employment Service.
"Please issue necessary notices to
your state, county and community
councils of defense to put their entire
Influence behind the employment serv
ice in this emergency. This call for
men must be met. The work is dan
gerous, but that will not deter anyone,
for it is unthinkable that any man in
this country should hold back from do
ing work which the women of England
and France are doing."

Germany's Giving Way Must Be Un
conditional, as Magnitude of
Crimes Deserves.
Americanism as keen and bright as
bared blade was the kind that Major
Herbert A. Brandon, late of the United
States Engineers, in foreign service,
presented to the members' council of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce,
in his address at yesterday's luncheon.
From first to last Major Brandon
urged the winning of the war, warning
against the pitfalls of such peace as
Germany may offer at this time, and
declaring for a surrender as uncon
ditional as the magnitude of her crimes
deserves.
"To secure this end." said Major
Brandon, "we must work with full
unity of purpose. -Geographical lines
and local sentiment must be forgotten.
There nrust be no Korth nor South, no
East nor West, nor creed nor caste, no
partisan politics nor petty profiteer
ing!"
During his service In France, from
which he was invalided home. Major
Brandon paid special attention to trac
ing down and authenticating many
reports of German atrocities. The in
cidents of beastialty related jester
day brought shudders to his hearers.
I would tear this uniform from
me." asserted Major Brandon, "were
the soldiers of the United States guil
ty of one thousandth part of
tura or Austrian design. They be
lieve there can be no peace until the
Tricolor of France, the Union Jack
of Great Britain and the Stars and
Stripes of our glorious country, with
the banners of the other allies, float
triumphant over the ramparts of Ber
lin!
"There- can be no peace until the
Kaiser and his criminal clique are
buried in oblivion. Then, and then
only, will the world be made safe for
democracy, the honor of. our women
be secured, and the lives of our chil
dren be safeguarded!"
Major Roos. commanding at the
Army training school at Benson Poly
technic, spoke on the import and mag
nitude of the specialized mechanical
training being given to the soldier
students.

Deputy Constable Holds Would-Be
Suicide by Heels In Air Un
til Assistance Comes.
Mrs. Betta Taug Rollia. aged 27.
made a frantic effort to leap from the
window of Constable Petersen's office,
on th third floor of the Courthouse.
yesterday just as Deputy Constable I
Watklnds was getting ready to take
her to the County Jail under a statu
tory charge filed by her divorced hus
band. H. O. Taug.
Only the quick action of the deputy
constble saved the woman from fall
ing to the cement courtyard nearly SO
feet below. Watklnds caught her by
the heel of her shoe and held her sus
pended in the air until other deputies
came and helped him drag the woman
back to safety.
Mrs. Rollia and her husband. Sam
Rollia, a Serb, were both arrested on
complaint of the woman's divorced
husband, who charges the couple with
living together without being legally
married. Taug and his wife were di
vorced in Portland three months ago.
The woman married Rollia at Tacoma
three weeks ago. Because she failed
to wait the statutory Bix months before
re-marrying, the ex-husband deter
mined to have her prosecuted.
Rollia and wife are held at the Coun
ty Jail pending a District Court hear
ing. The woman's 5-year-old boy is
being cared for by the Juvenile Court.
