Malleterre "Finish the job by a thunder-stroke." President Wilson and Iioyd George, on the other hand, seem to have taken the position that military measures, however effective against the Bblshevik armies, would prove worse than useless against Bolshevism itself which might break out with in creased strength in the rear of an allied military cordon. There is much divergent opinion on the proposal to recognize Lenine which the Wash ington Post characterizes as "one of the most sinister developments of these strange times" adding that the American people "are at war with Bolshevism and will not compromise with the enemy for any reason whatever."

West Clmna Is Launclicd at North west Sfcel 4 5 Days After Laying of Keel. Not content with a new launching record of having an SSOO-ton hull In the water 45 working days after laying lh keel, which Is a new mark for the Oregon district, men of the Northwest Steel company's force have planned to lay a new keel on the same ways In 30 minutes this morning. The start is to be at 8 o'clock. As the laying of keel has been virtually a full day's work in the past, the brawny sons of the shipyard opine that to complete the task in half an hour will prompt some of their competitiors to "assume a sitting posture and observe the feat.' It was the West Chana that was the record ship. Poised on the ways yes terday afternoon, waiting the release of the "trigger" to start her toward the harbor, the vessel was the object of thousands of eyes. High on her stern was fastened a siitn reading, "Portland's record, S. S. West Chana. keel laid February 13, launched April 11 la days of 16 hours." Mrs. George la. Baker, wife of Port land's mayor, was selected to christen the vessel. The sponsor carried a huge bouquet of American Beauty roses tied with a wide green ribbon. After at tatning the platform and being made the subject of pictures for a battery of cameras. Mrs. Baker was coached by Mayor Baker and others on the best method of breaking a bottle on the bow. But Mrs. Baker christened the auxil iary schooner Nancy September 14, 1918. at the Foundation company's plant, and when the West Chana exhibited the first life yesterday the christener swung the ribbon-bedecked bottle with such force that it was shattnred, eo a large circle of foaming v.-ine was visi ble on, the gray side of the ship. And the West Chana seemed to re gard it as necessary she outstrip her sisters In heading riverward. Her glide was graceful and not too fast, while the stage of water, the gauge registering 9.S feet above zero, permit ted her to move from the ways to deep water without the slightest tar, which so often indicates the ship is clear of the berth. Congratulations were showered on Mrs. Baker and a genuine surprise was her lot when she entered the office of W. B. Beebe. vice-president of the corporation, and was presented with a platinum brooch, set with diamonds. Mr. Beebe assured the recipient that the pleasure of the management in finishing a record hull was no greater than In the success of the launching and the enthusiastic manner In which she had broken the bottle as the ship started. And the affair drew the envy or tne boys next door," In the plant of the Columbia River Shipbuilding corpor ation, who have accepted the work on the West Chana as a defl and promise tnat tne ship they are now engaged on will be overboard in 35 days. To lower the northwest's record by ten days is regarded as promising better speed than has yet been attained in the Unit ed States with a ship of the size. SPRCCE FLEET BEING SOLD Government Has Boats Moored Hero Awaiting Buyers. Three of the gasoline fleet operated by the spruce division during the war at different outside harbors, the El sinor, Ollie S. and Carmen, have been disposed of and tne gasoline tug Peter son 20. with the launches Lad v Gray, Bay Queen and Windemuth, are held In South Portland. Another gasoline tow-boat, the Beaver, Is laid up on Willnpa harbor. When all property of the spruce divi sion was offered for sale early in the year no bids on the boats were accepted on the ground they were too low, so tne boats nave been turned over to the sales board of the spruce division for disposal at private sale. There are sev eral scows also to be sold. The government operated the gaso line schooner Roamer also, using her between Portland and different Oregon harbors where spruce camps are locat ed, but she was recently returned to her owners, the Columbia Navigation company. W.ANZTJ- FINISHES TIE CARGO Portland Steamer to Leave Grays Harbor for Atlantic. Word was received from Grays Har bor last night that the wooden steamer Wanzu, sent from Portland by the Co lumbia Pacific Shipping company to load ties for the Atlantic had finished her cargo and would get away shortly. The vessel is said to have aboard 1.500, 000 feet of railroad material and a larger cargo is expected to be loaded next week by the Ashburn, one of the Supple-Ballin ships, which is of 4500 tons deadweight. At least 1,800,000 feet is the estimate for her load. The Columbia Pacific interests were busy yesterday preparing the Ashburn for stores that will be loade today, and she leaves tomorrow for St. Helens, where the first ties go aboard Monday. Additional assignments of wood steam ers for' ties here are looked for shortly.

SEATTLE, April 11. Purchase of three Hamburg-American liners, which have been interned at Hankow. China, during the war by Robert Dollar is un der consideration, according to a cable gram from American Consul-General Thomas Sammons.at Shanghai, given out here by W. B. Henderson, agent of the department of commerce. Should Mr. Dollar be unable to nego tiate the purchase. Consul-General Sam- mnna iiriron that it he taken DD bv Other I Port Counsel Says Commission Has Power to Dredge to Harbor Line Despite Protests. Warrior dredelne the Port of Port land commission undertook last uctoDer and stopped In December, wnen tne winter freshet promised to mteriere, is to be resumed by the dredge Tualatin in about a week. Before the Tualatin had been withdrawn from the project she hal cleared away sediment in front of three-fourths of the docks below the Rroarlwav bridee. above whtcn tne nrV i not to be carried now. The Tualatin was drydocked a few days ago to have the hull cleaned and painted. Her plant had been gone over and It is estimated she will be ready for service Tuesday. As there is a small area Just below the St. Johns bridge to be cleared. John uoyie. superinienaeni. plans to send the Tualatin there. In not more than a week it is believed that sediment can be removed. In returning to the harbor project tne Intention is to commence on the west side at the south end of the Fifteenth street terminal and move up stream. It will be necessary to dump the material on the east side of the harbor and later pick it up and discharge it on snore near the O.-W. R. & N. AlDlna shops. In Hearing- in front of the docks tne dredges have gone within ten feet of the fender piling, wnicn is saia .to do as close as tne worK can saieiy oe carried on without the big cutter at the bottom of the dredge ladder coming in contact with the piling. Erskine Wood of counsel for the Port of Portland gave a decision at Thursday's meeting to the effect the commission had the nower to dredge to the harbor line, regardless of a dock front being located thereon, as it was lor tne owner to pro tect his property. Though he advised that before dredg ing close to a dock the owned be In formed of what was Intended so if it was thought the piling in place was not long enough to sustain the weight of the dock with the material removed in front, they might have opportunity to drive new supports. It has been the custom of the commission for years to obtain the consent of dock owners before dredging to a point that might endanger property. As the Pacific Foundation company has failed to file a bond to undertake dredging In front of Albina dock, where the Port dredge encountered a mass of boulders, the commission has awarded the work to the Pacifio Bridge company, which, will use the dredge Titan there. The boulders will probably be removed In less than 30 days after the task is undertaken. Use of Wooden Ship Asked. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash- Assistant to Manager of Repairs Di vision Here on Tour. On an inspection tour of steel ship yards, A. p. Allen, assistant to the manager of the division of repairs and construction of the shipping board. Is in the city. Mr. Allen visited the steel yard of the G. M. Standifer Construc tion corporation at Vancouver yester day and the steel yards here as well. It has 9een assumed by some that one purpose of Mr. Allen's trip is to ascertain how the yards are progres sing with present contracts with a view to estimating what might be done in the construction of larger steamers, such as the 12,000-ton type, discussed recently. The understanding here is that no move can be made by tne snipping board toward ordering more vessels unless congress makes an appropria tion. Indications so far are that yards are to be given about two ships each. which some builders say would not pay them to accept, in view of changes that must be made in equipment to turn out such steamers. MORGAN & CO. 1VOT CONCERNED Connection With Japanese Steam ship Project Disavowed. NEW YORK, April 11. Japanese cap italists planning the organization of a new steamship corporation to operate ships in the world's important ocean traffic lanes are under a misapprehen sion regarding any connection by J. P. Morean & Co. with the project, it was said here today at the Morgan firm's offices. It was declared on behalf of the nrm that the company was not In any way identified with the steamship plan as outlined in Seattle yesterday by Kotaro Mochizuki, economist and member of the Japanese parliament, who was de clared to be on his way to New York, presumably to interest American capitalists.

Marine Notes. LIghtvessel No. 88 reached the harbor yesterday from Astoria and went to the St. Johns drydock to have the hull cleaned and painted and the stern bearings overhsuled.

As the store of steel stocks Increases faster work is expected. The 20-Inch dredge Portland was hauled across the lower harbor yesterday from the Llnnton dock of the Associated Oil com pany to the slip at the St. Johns municipal terminal, where she will dig Inshore a dis tance of 300 feet so slip No. 1 will have a combined length of 1000 feet, depth of HQ feet and width of 185 feet.
