WINTER WORK IMPORTANT
Commanding Officer Confidently

That American airplanes are moving
France-ward in trainload lota, not
dinky carload lots, is a thrilling: dis
closure in an ordr Issued by Brlgadier
Ceneral Brice P. Disque to officers and
mm of the Spruce Production Division,
which he commands.
After cuing- the fact that American
aviators destroyed more than 100 Ger
man planes and II balloons the last
three days of September. General
Disque lauds the efforts of hla men
and calls for continued co-operation
during the unpleasant weather approaching-
MOBthlr Frsdaetloa ao.0OO.0O0 Feet.
General Disaue's message is ad-
dressy to the Loyal Leclon of Loggers
and Lumbermen, operators and em
ployes. and the officers and men of his
division, and is as follows:
General Pershing has Just reported
that American aviators destroyed more
than 100 German airplanes and 21 bal
loons tn the three days ending Octo
ber 1.
"The Director of Aircraft Production
has Just announced that Liberty motors
have now reached quantity production
and American airplanes are moving In
trainload lots for service in France.
"Your loyal, unselfish and determined
effort has supplied the spruce and fir
to make these two announcements pos
sible. Tou know now that what you
have been doing Is beginning to show.
Tour part in fighting this war must
now be apparent to all.
"It Is Just one year since we hegan
our drive for spruce and aircraft fir.
In that year we have increased the
monthly production from l.sno.000 feet
to almost :.000.000 feet. We have so
Improved the quality of the material
shipped that although constantly in
creasing their programme, our allies
have been able to modify their require
ments. Great Daty Pointed Oat.
We have started something: we
have set the pace and made possible
an allied air fleet that was never be
fore considered possible factories in
America. France. England and Italy are
manned to capacity building better air
planes than Germany ever thought of:
our flying schools are turning out
thousands of aviators who will use our
machines in a manner that will be to
your liking.
"It is now our great duty to main
tain and increase the flow of spruce
and fir throughout the coming Winter.
It is the big Job and will call for the
best that is In all of us because we
must not permit production to fall off
during the coming months. What we
do now will have a decisive effect In
the final drive which will start next
Spring.
"I confidently look to the one great
Industry which has gone through the
past year without labor disturbance or
profiteering to grit Us teeth and drive
on with even greater co-operation and
determination than ever before.
-To the officers and men of this
division I look for a continuation ot
what has been unsurpassed patriotic
.rvioe in which the reward is not
Croix de Guerre and medals of honor.
but tho applause of your own con
science because of duty well done."

BENT PROFITEERS FOUND
VANCOUVER COMniTEE MAKES
CAREFUL- INVESTIGATION".
Some Landlords IVxIared to Be Mak
ing as High as 200 Per Cent
on Money Invested.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct 1. (Spe
cial.) Rent profiteers in Vancouver
have been found by the "profiteer com
mittee" appointed by the Government
to make an investigation, which has
been working hard at this for the past
several days.
The committee Is composed of J. B.
Atkinson. A. L. Miller and E. V. Coates.
They have found In several cases that
rents have been boosted to a grossly
excessive level, where people were mak
ing as high as 200 per cent proiit on
the amount of money invested.
A case cited was that of a man who
paid $14 a month rent for a certain
house, the owner living In some other
part of the country. This man sublets
this building and draws 1100 per month
rent. It is true he furnishes a small
amount of cheap furniture, water, light
and wood; but his profit was held to be
entirely too much.
Another case was where an owner
was getting $104 for two small houses
for which $10 a month would have been
fair rent before the present condition
arose. From iitt to zu a monm jor
a single room seems to be charged in
many cases and Is considered Dy many
landlords as not too high.

Mrs. Henry P. Davison, of New York,
National chairman of the woman's com
mittee of the United War Work cam
paign, visited Portland yesterday for
the purpose of uniting women of the
city in the campaign for $170,000,000
which will b made next month by
united war activities, including the Y.
M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the Jewish
Welfare Board, National Catholic War
Council and Knights of Columbus, f ar
Camp Community Service and the Amer
ican Library Association.
Through the recent orders of Mayor
Baker prohibiting any large gather
ings it was impossible to assemble rep
resentatives of all women's organiza
tions at one time as originally planned,
and as a resultMrs. Davison addressed
three small groups who gathered at the
homes of Mrs. Helen Ladd Corbett. Mrs.
J. C. Costello and Mrs. Julius Louisson.
At each meeting she gave the women
assembled a short history of the de
velopment of the woman's committee
and outlined the many avenues along
which the work of the women in the
second line of defense is reaching the
women near the front.
Work Among: Women Told.
"I bring a message from the women
at the front to the women behind the
lines." said Mrs. Davison yesterday.
"This message is an appeal for more
in the line of reactional work among
the women who are replacing men in
the war industries.
Only a few weeks ago an appeal was
made to the Y. W. C. A. by Chairman
Fosdick, of the War Camp Community
Service, for relief on the grave situa
tion now confronting Washington, D.
C. Over 60 per cent of the girls em
ployed In Government work are leaving
the Capital weekly because of the poor
husing conditions and tne lacK of recre
ational advantage. To relieve this situ
ation through the Government would
mean to put the matter before Congress
and face a delay that would be dis
astrous at this moment. Thus the ap
peal has come direct to the Y. W. C. A.
and the entire responsibility in the mat
ter is turned over to us.
Girls aTeed Recreational Centers.
While we have every interest for
the comfort of the boys at the front
at heart, we feel that we must divide
our attentions with the girls who are
volunteering for this splendid service.
All plans are in operation for the com
fort of the men. So far as feasible
recreational . comforts are provided
them up to the very front line trenches.
With our girls it is a different mat
ter. They have been thrust into muni
tion factories which have sprung up in
isolated districts and they find them
selves with only the rudest comforts
and nothing to vary the monotony of
the terrific strain of the work. As fast
as we can we are relieving this situa
tion with recreation centers, places
often of rude construction but contain
ing a bright spot with a piano and a
trained worked to inspire amusement
at the end of the day.
In the midst of this work for our
own grils we have answered the call
to help the women of France.
The French government reported
that not only was there a change in
the work and the morale of the women
but also in that of the men. The poilus
took on a fresh spirit the moment they
learned their women were being cared
for."
Mrs. Davison left New York October
and expects to complete her tour of
the United States before November 1.
She left last evening for Seattle.
