Chateau-Tblerrjr July 38 Sends
Portland Boy Back to C S.
With a French Croix de Guerre as
aouvenir of hla Army service in France,
Howard Scott, son of Mr. and Mrs.
C. Scott. Ml fcast Twelfth street, ar
rived in Fortiand yesterday and is the
first Portland boy to exhibit the highly
prized war decoration here. Scott went
through the fight in Belleau Wood.
near Chateau Thierry. In which h
was gassed and snell-shocked July 28.
He came here by easy stages from th
Naval Hospital at North Fork. Va and
delivered a number of liberty loan ad'
dresses en route.
Scott is a native of Portland, having
been born near the site of The Ore
gonian building in IS S3. He enlisted in
the Navy at Astoria a year ago and
after being on transport convoy duty
for a time was assigned to shore duty
In France. He declares that the war
is far from ended, and that the Ger
mans are retiring and looting invaded
territory as they go. only to make
stand when they reach their own de-
tenses.
Th Years' Work Ahead.
"There will be two years work ahead
of us before we get to Berlin." Scott
aid yesterday, "unless something un
usual happens. The Germans are not
fighting now: they are retreating,
realizing the futility of holding invad
ed territory, but are taking everything
with them. When they reach their own
strong defenses, they will make a de
termined stand.
"Aeroplanes must prove the salva
tion of the allies. When the Americans
went into action last Spring, they had
do protection in the air, while the Ger
man machines were soaring aloft and
pouring down their deadly hail of ma
chine gun bullets. It seemed that
verything the Germans had was su
perior to war weapons used by the
allies. At the present time, however,
the allies are shooting 10 shells to the
Germans' one. and some of the same
poisonous gas used by the Huns now
is being sent back to them with the
compliments of the Americans.
River, Hot Odds. Halts Germans.
"At the battle of the Marne. while
the Germans were halted, it was not
by any overwhelming odds. Jf the
Germans could have secured a bridge
across the stream, there would have
been a different story to tell. The
Fifth and Sixth Regiments of the
marines participated in this engage
ment, and some of those wounded in
that battle have been making liberty
loan speeches during the present cam
paign. There are some 100.000 naval
men on short duty over there now;
some of the big guns have been re
moved from battleships and are being
used in artillery barrages; they are
being used in the bombardment of the
lletx fortress.
"It was at 3 o'clock In the morning
of July 2S that I received my wounds,"
(said Scott, referring to his own experi
ences. "We were stationed near Chateau
Thierry, at. the farthest point of the
German advance toward Paris about
48 miles from that city. Sniping was
going on in the partially evacuated
town, the shots coming from the tower
of a brick church. Men were sent up

would have perished, for I was 18
hours without medical attention."
The young man declares that one rea
son for the open warfare as carried on
by the Americans is the awful condi
tions existing in the trenches, under
which the dead of former battles have
been buried. Water that forms pools
during a heavy rain is so poisonous
that it causes great sores, while vermin
add to the f rightfulness of life in th
renches.
Hell Is Heaven Beside France.
Boys of 25 and 26 years who have
gone through severe campaigns are
gray and wrinkled, Scott says, and
added that what Sherman said about
war does not apply, for "Hell is heaven
beside France."
American boys have adopted the
logan, "Hell, heaven or home for
Christmas," and measure their wounds
only by their probability of getting th
njured man back to the states. He
pays a glowing tribute to the Salva-
ion Army lasses, whom he refers to
as the "only women In Europe who
can make doughnuts like mother used
make, and refers to their appear
nee near the front line trenches
as seeming "like angels from, heaven."

Multnomah Cpper House Member Is
Held "Responsible for Crime
Against State of Oregon."
SALEM, Or., Oct,. 21. (Special.)
"Unpatriotic" and "responsible for a
crime against the state of Oregon
were charges hurled by Governor
Withycombe against State Senator
Gus Moser, of Portland, today at a
meeting of the Emergency Board, after
Moser's vote had proved responsible
for killing a $37,000 deficiency appro
priation asked by President Kerr, of
the Oregon Agricultural College, fori
money to carry on work In connection
with the military activities of the col
lege, v
"It is unfortunate when five promi
nent men of the state reject an appro
priation for a purpose which will aid
the Government in winning the war,
declared Governor Withycombe after
the reeniest had been rejected. "It is
unpatriotic, a crime against the state
of Oregon, and I put the blame directly
on you, benator Moser, declared the
Governor.
' Senator Moser Retorts.
"You put the Military Police onto us
with the same kind of representations
and now you have made a political ma
chine of it," was Moser's retort.
I deny that," shot back the execu
tlve. "The Council of Defense asked us
for the Military Police and I had never
heard of it until the State Council
asked for it. I deny that political use
has been made of it. If we had had our
shipyards burned, our wheatfields
burned, our industries destroyed, we all
would have wondered why such an or
ganization as the Military Police had
not been established. The Military Po
lice has saved our industries and I am
proud of it. Your talk is cheap petti
foggery and demagogy a case of sour
grapes because you were unable to win
the Governorship."
President Kerr s request for financial
aid was for extraordinary expenses in
connection with the training of more
than 1000 students at the college, as
required by the United States Govern
ment.
Moser Has Another Tilt. I
Moser had a tilt with State Treasurer
Kay, also, when Moser offered an
amendment to cut the appropriation
down to 115,000. Kay declared that if
the principle was correct the entire
amount should be voted, although he
believed the Government was ex
pending money unnecessarily. But since
this was a move for the development
of the military service he would favor it.
Moser stated he was inclined to op

Wonnded Americans Bayonetted. .
German "frightfulness"' was wit
nessed by Scott, who told of wounded
mericans being bayonetted as they
ere helpless on the battlefield. The
se of the saw bayonet by the Huns
characterized as one of the most
brutal practices of the war. and de
lared the Germans were getting i
taste of their own medicine in later
months of the fighting. Large num
bers of German-Americans are among
those reported to have surrendered in
thf last few months, but the native
residents of Germany will fight to
the last.
Spanish influenza was rampant In
the German trenches three years ago.
Scott says, and hundreds were ill at
I the Virginia hospital, where, he was
stationed for a time. For that reason,
he asked permission to come home,
and arrived in Portland on the wed
ding anniversary of his parents and
on his fathen's birthday.
Scott's wife and one child live in
Astoria, where he formerly was en

he expects to leave for that place this

Every Portland, automobilist can do

Forty soldiers from Vancouver Bar
racks volunteered last Saturday even
ing to act as orderlies and assistants
at the Auditorium hospital. These men
work for eight hours at a time among
the patients and are susceptible to the
disease unless they are kept well and
strong. Fresh air, according to the
doctors, is the surest way of keeping
up their resisting power.
Those in charge of the Auditorium
hospital are calling for Portland motor

afternoons in an effort to keep well
the boys who have volunteered to. help
in the wards. The soldiers work in
shifts', so there is always a number of
men who could go motoring at any hour

jPrecautions will be taken to prevent
soldiers transmitting germs to others.
During his work in the hospital the
soldier is completely enveloped in an
apron, mask and cap which protect his
clothing, face and hair. Stirays and dis
infectants also are used before he is
permitted to leave the hospital.
The soldiers working in the Audito
rium are receiving no additional pay
for their services. The work is hard.
Last night there were but two soldiers
to act as orderlies and assis two
nurses in a ward with 50 patients.
Fresh air is their greatest protection

others to fight and Portland motorists
can render service in that particular.
