DELAYS HELD INEVITABLE Shipping Short and Storage laci li lies 'ut Sufficient but Improve ment in Situation Expected. OREGON IAN NEWS BL'REAL, Wash ington, March 25. Julius Barnes, presi dent of the grain corporation, -which has charge of all wheat movements under the food administration, in a letter to Senator AlcNary, rays that Pacific coast commercial organizations are unduly exercised over failure to move wheat from that section, partic ularly from Portland. After assigning several reasons for delays in providing the necesnary shipping, he declares that there is no desire to move wheat from Pacific coast ports because there is no place to move it. lie says: The problems that have arisen in providing transport on what may be frankly admitted to be an unnaturally low basts f freipht between the Pa cific and the Atlantic have led. of course, to numberless conferences and negotiation between the grain cor poration and the shipping board. lannranre Prevra Difficulty. "I may candidly claim that we have tried to meet the shipping board's preferences and help solve the prob lems by every possible means, and we have no complaint whatever as to their attitud- in trying to adjust their neees ities to ours. The chief obstacle has been the difficulty of n' 'aining marine insurance on cargoes shipped in mood en vessels and we have continually urge! this on our underwriters, until recently they have agreed to take a limited number of wooden ships' cargoes and these are now being io-ded. On their outcome will depend largely the policy of the underwriters toward additional shipments. In mak ing hhipmcnts in wooden ships at all, wo have assumed an additional cost of insurance and this is only one of the evidences we have given of trying to meet the shipping board problem. "Frankly, I think the commercial or ganizations of the Pacific coast were unduly disturbed over the lack of ship ments, as we are taking care of flour allocations there quite regularly and I think to the full extent that we could f-irly eom-entratc flour purchases in that section as compared with the whole nation looking to us for export trade in flour. Facilities .ot Available. The main emphasis of the com mercial organizations is laid on the large stocks of wheat in Pacific coast ports. As to this wheat, we do not want to move it, have no place to move it. no elevator facilities available on t he Atlantic coast for discharge of bats if we had boats to bring it around and It cannot be moved for some time, at least until the general position of ocean transportation relieves our At lantic seaboard elevators and their fa cilities more largely than has -been possible recently. 1 am sure that we ill be able to overcome patiently with the shipping board any obstacles in the way of taking care of the crop surplus on the Pacific coast.' 156 PRISONERS UNLOCATED Official Records of Americans Cap- Inrcd Do Not Show Fate. WASHINGTON. March 23.

PACIFIC YARDS TO CONTINCE Kdward Hurley Sends Aurluir Mes sage to Representative. OAKLAND. Cal.. March 23. Edward X. Hurley, chairman of the United states shipping board, expects the Pa cific coast to continue shipbuilding on lines as extensive as those of the war times, according to a telegram sent by Hurley to Representative Frederick A. Britten of Chicago, a member of the house naval committee that just con cluded a visit of Inspection. Britten wired Hurley for information of the committee. Shipbuilding Interests." the tele cram added, "must recognise the fact that to be successful they will have to know the true costs of production and make future bids on a flat price per deadweight ton without material and labor guarantees." CLAIMS ARE BEING COMPILED Oregon Builders Await Definite Word Regarding Hulls. Shipbuilders of the Oregon district are already deep in the work of com-, piling claims for extras and bonus waire navments on the original hull contracts, while a party of accountants are visiting each plant in the interest of the salvage and cancellation division of the Emergency Fleet corporation, checking details so that when the mat ter v. final claims is met, which will cover the vessels canceled since fall. nromnt settlement will be possime. In the news from Washington the principal feature Oregon yard manage ments are interested in is about hulls .,. ini, , sr on the ways. The first half of March nine additional cancellations were ordered, and those vessels are about 35 per cent completed.

There have been 91 launchings and about 40 deliveries as completed ships. Vessels vet to be floated number is and unless additional changes are made now, 9 remain to be delivered.

According to figures given at the meeting, there are now 170 wooden fehips for which machinery is not avail able. They will be converted into barges or sailing schooners. It was this surplus of wooden hulls which caused some of the builders to assert that the industry was "cremated" for some time to come.

March 25. On account of the large number of appeals for relief that hiLve been coming in from former sol diers troubled with recurrences of ail ments originally contracted in the serv ice, the acting chief of staff has found It necessary to issue a statement under the head of "hospital treatment for dis charged soldiers." in which he says: "Discharged soldiers are civilians un der the law, and in the matter of hos pital treatment come under the pro visions of paragraph 1459. army regu lations. However, any soldier who has been honorably discharged since Octo ber 6. 1917. for disability incurred in the line of duty, and whose present con dition is a reactivation of that disa bility or as consequent upon it. isen-4 titled to hospital or samtorium care under the provisions of thei war risK insurance act, either in military hos 'pital if there be room for him, or in local civilian institution. "If the case is one of emergency, the chief medical advisor of the bureau of war risk insurance should be informed by telegraph of the case, giving the name, rank and organization from which the man was discharged, the character of the disability and sugges tions as to the treatment needed. The nearest representative of the United States public health service should also be notified, as these officials are authorized to take action in such cases. If there be no representative of the public health service In the vicinity, arrangements wil be made with local physicians or institutions to take tem porary charge of the case."

DIRECTIOXS TO AVIATKIR GARDE.VKRS. Don't cultivate or tramp over the garden when the ground is wet or sticky. Cultivate or hoe between the rows often. This keeps the weeds down and makes fine vegetables. Square up the small beds and keep the paths smooth and clean. This will make your garden neat and attractive. Keep your hoe and other tools clean and bright. A successful gardener has a sharp hoe and a bright spade. Hoe the weeds in the morning and the sun w ill kill the roots. Water in the evening always. A good soaking occasionally Is better than a light sprinkling every day. Extra cultivation will take the place of water if it is scarce. , Water that has stood in a tub or barrel all day is much better for the plants than the cold moun tain water from the hose. BY PEGGT CURTIS. NE WTORK, March 25. Among the arrivals of troops here today was James S. Withycombe, nephew of the late Governor Withycombe, who came in on the Matsonia with the Camp Lewis detachment of the 16th infantry. Mr. Withycombe had not heard from home for seven months, as he has been at the front most of the time, and he got his first news of his uncle's death from The Oregonian correspondent when he inquired about news from home. His joy of arriving home was clouded greatly, because he was deeply grieved about the governor's death. Few of his comrades had any idea of the event and their happiness was not disturbed by enlightenment. During the last few days, in which the Oregon headquarters have been en tirely ready, the room has been filled with soldiers and yesterday the Ore gon headquarters for our service men here was the setting for an unique war incident. Cuthbert Courtney of Grants Pass, who'is a patient at Grand Central debarkation hospital No. 5. had never seen his brother, Bruue Osier, who has just returned from France and is at Camp Upton. They have been separated during their entire lifetime. Yesterday I was able to locate Mr. Osier at Upton and get him on the telephone while Courtney, who was brought from the hospital, was at the headquarters. . The brothers conversed for a few moments and arranged a meeting at the hos pital for today. This evening the boys have parted with the desire of their lives fulfilled. These men who have been through so much aretoo joyous at arriving to admit of news that will cloud one of the greatest days in their lifetime. Faator's Son Arrives. Earl DuBoise, son of Rev. Mr. Du- Boise, pastor of the Church of the Strangers of Portland, was also in the Camp Lewis detachment. He and some comrades have been on practically all the fronts of France and have visited many historic places. In the detachment which has been gathered from all the companies of the regiment are men who have .spent six and seven months at the front, have gone through the Lorraine struggles, Cantigny, Champagne and even into the Argonne, and "were lucky just to be alive," said A. H. Lewis of Portland. There has been some fierce fighting and we have seen a lot of things we'd rather not have seen. We re all tired of war, of France and all of Europe. All we want is home and America." A lieutenant not from Oregon told me that these were some of the pluck iest lads in the army. "It's wonderful what they go through and yet be able to laugh it off." he said. In the Camp Lewis detachment of the 60th infantry, which is at Camp Mills, Hempstead, Long Island, are Ser geants Joseph A. Willford and Benja min L. Bouley, Portland; Alfred Pow ers. Eugene Lysle.

Victorious veterans, heroes of Flanders fields on which Prussian pride w.as broken, 26,000 men of the 27th division came back to Fifth avenue today for their triumphal review. To the thousands who offered all they have to give on liberty's altar, the millions who stayed behind poured out the full measure of their pride. The national guardsmen of yesterday and the civilians of to morrow symbolized today the martial ideals of a red-blooded race. The multitude, which alternately laughted and wept, cheered or stood silent as th erocession passed, knew that a grateful people never paid trib ute to braver men or to crusaders more chivalrous than these citizen-soldiers. who looked death in the face and smiled as they went "over the top" with a song on their lips to smash the Hin denburg line that barrier against which Europe's sturdiest troops had swept in vain. There was no shadow on the hearts of the stalwart marching men save the memory of the 2000 comrades they left sleeping "where poppies bloom." ine clank or hobnailed shoes UDon the pavement spelled an epic in Ameri can history. Never before had a full division of Yankee veterans fresh from European service passed in review in American city. "Fighting Jack" O'Ryan. who led the line, was the only major-general of the national guard who took his men to France and brought them back still their com mander. Never before on this conti nent at. least had so many thousands cheered a military spectacle. Even New York, famed for its crowds, never had mobilized so many men, women and children along a single street. To the city dwellers were added hundreds of thousands who had poured in from every corner of the state; tens of thou sands more had come from other states. The police estimated more than 3.000.000 persons were packed into five miles of Fifth avenue in the sunshine of a perfect day. Stretching along the east side of Central Park from one end to the other was a grandstand two and one-half miles long. 'In it were some 80,000 rela tives of the 27th. The other 15.000 seats were filled with wounded soldiers from the army hospitals, federal offi cials, governors of this and other states, members of the legislature, mayors and official delegations from upstate.

POISON OAK OR IVY NO LONGER TO BE DREADED ANYONE who has ever experienced oak or ivy poisoning will be grate ful to know that this extremely painful and irritating annoyance need not be feared or long remain troublesome. The pain, itching, fever and irritation disappear almost like magic with a few applications of Santiseptic Lotion, and the eruptions and redness of the skin soon follow. Timely use of Santiseptic will even prevent the poisoning in many cases. "Santiseptic Lotion is the greatest remedy on earth for "Poison Oak," " ac cording to Mr. Carl Larson of Canyon ville. Or. "1 have had it in all forms on mv face, arms and body. Nothing g&v.e. me relief, until l .tried S&ntiseji- tic. I would not be without Santiseptic in my home." Mr. Larson's experience is but typical of thousands of others who have had the misfortune to get "Poison Oak." Santiseptic also heals other skin irri tations, euch as sunburn, windburn, chafing, fever and cold sores and in sect bites. It is a remarkable soothinvr and healing lotion. Men use it after shaving and women for the complex ion and for the baby's skin. Santiseptic is easily procured at most drug stores. If your druggist cannot supply it, send fifty cents, with hltf name, to the manufacturers, the Ksben cott Laboratories, Portland, Oregon, for fuU-sizcd, bu.tUts ijosliiaiil. Adv. o
