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 J Howard ? M.

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." Scott does not choose his words in criticizing women of America for wear ng high-heeled shoes and costly gar. ments while their sisters in France are wearing whatever they can get. New pose the whole thing, as he believed 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 available nearly every hour of the day or even ing at one of our 2 Restaurants i Imperial Manager. tr their total earnings, for their vacation being in excess of J250.

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 gaged in the electrical business, and he expects to leave for that place this morning.

The board decided to meet again next Friday, and Secretary Olcott was instructed to send a special request to Speaker Stanfield to be present so that deficiency measures could b taken care of. .

Adv. ployes composing the council was called especially for consideration of the wage problem of the lumber industry. Special advances were made in number of cases, where certain groups were held entitled to more. The big factor precluding wage in creases on a larger scale, it is said, was the decision of the price-fixing com' mission in holding general lumber prices at present figures, or actually reducing them, as was the case with certain grades. It was the general sentiment of those sitting in the coun cil that lumber operators of the North west were not given the consideration at Washington that their cost records merited for them.

Every Portland, automobilist can do his share in stamping out the Influenza epidemic. 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 ists to give part of the mornings or 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 of the day. 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 against the disease they are helping others to fight and Portland motorists can render service in that particular.
