The tug had a great gap torn In her hull by one of the Saxonta's propellers and sank almost instantly. The sinking of the tug was one of the most dramatic marine accidents that - ever occurred here. The cheers which a moment before had been echoing back and forth from transport to dock were hushed as from the stern of the great vessel came the sound of rending steel and wood. Coafaaloa Quickly Eased. The Saxonla's decks, filled to the rait with returning troops, was the scene of the greatest confusion, but only for an instant. Thrn quick-thinking fighting men put their thoughts into action. Rope were thrown overboard and five seamen pulled from the Hudson. Meanwhile the naval tug Crawford, also engaged in warping the Saxonia into her dock, saved three more lives. Police, working from the pier, rescued another three, and a rowboat, hastily put out from the shore, brought the total of those saved to 14. The Free hold was less Ulan three minutes In sinking.

Jieuj brc S . tferpic ' r ThsY WxjLz Be One hundred and fifty firms using fabric dyes, including dyers and Jobbers and wholesalers of cloths, represent gin the bulk of the textile Industry in hte I'nlted States, having petitioned President Wilson to cause the adoption In this country of the license system, now In vogue in Great Britain and France, which would prohibit definitely the entry of German dyes into the United States. If this scheme is adopted It, with the Chemican Foundation, which controls the German patents, would assure the success or an aii-Atnerican aye m- lndustry. In the opinion of Joseph H. Choate, Jr.. In charge of the bureau of Invest! gation of the Allen Property Custodian's office, this .move Is rcmarkaDie oc cause it is asked by an Industry which thereby would pay more for dyes. In making the announcement yesterday and giving out the list of firms advocat ing the project, Mr. Choate explained the situation f J follows: "The German dye trust Is dependent on export trade because only a small part of German dyes are consumed at home. This has been responsible for the German price cutting in former years. In their petition to the presi dent the dye consumers argue that a protective tariff would be futile. "The Chemical Foundation, fostered by the alien property custodian's office now holds all the confisticated German patents for dye making and these will be distributed equitably among Amer ican dye making concerns. President Wilson is said to favor the scheme. The license system would be decided by a commission composed equally of dye makers and dye con sumers. The petition of the dye con sumers reads as follows: "The undersigned, representing vari ous branches of the textile industry, respectfully submit that in their opinion an independent, self-sustain Ing American dye manufacturing in dustry is a national necessity; that such a dyeindustry cannot be estab lished unless competition from German factories, including those in occupied territory, be cut off for a period of years: that no tariff will furnish pro tection against the enormous resources and unscrupulus methods of the Ger man trust fighting to regain its for eign market, and that only a licensing plan like the British, excluding all for eign dyes reasonably obtainable in the United States, will save the new in dustry. We respectfully urge that immediate steps be taken to procure. both In the peace treaty and in legisla tion, the measures necessary to es tablish such such a plan. 'We advocate this not merely be cause a domestic dye industry is es sential to the independence of the American textile industry and man ufacture generally, but chiefly be cause we believe that only through an established dye industry can the nation secure the progress in chemistry to the arts, and above-all in curative , LOVERS PILLAGE FLOWERS Spring Evenings and Full Moon In crease Complaints to Police. ,Dcnlals of the truth of the old adage that "all the world loves a lover," are piling up at police headquarters since the spring evenings and the full moon have tempted the swains and their girls forth in force. Householders all over the city com plain about the tendency of the love lorn to decorate their sweethearts with flowers pillaged from gardens close to the sidewalk. Police believe that the converse of the proverb will apply in Portland unless the young men adopt less predacious methods of courtship.

Eleven planes in mimic aerial battle, dipping-, whirling, glancing far above Portland, will be the spectacular sight reserved for Monday afternoon, the opening day of the victory loan drive. Arrangements were completed yester day when Major Kenneth Marr, ad vanoe representative, visited the city The flying circus will arrive in the city at 6:30 Monday morning and will spend the entire day here. Lieutenant Colonel William Thaw, noted com mander of the Lafayette escadrille. is in charge of the pa-tty. every member of which is credited with the destruc tion of enemy planes in battle. During the aerial exhibition, 120 pounds of vie tory-loan literature will be dropped from the planes by passengers. Eleven machines will take the air, including two German fokkers. The flying circus will rise- at 1:30 Monday afternoon from the field at Mock's Bottom, a short distance south of the O.-W. R. & N. company's Pen- nsula tunnel. Five Curtiss planes, in battle formation, will fly over the city, scattering the loan literature. During the flight the Curtiss planes will be attacked by the two German fokkers. At the height of the sham battle, with the planes maneuvering as in actual battle, four other planes will soar upward and undertake the rescue of the Curtiss machines, driving away the fokkers. Barrel rolls, spins, loops, Immelman turns, and all the gallant trickery of the air will be shown in the mimic attack and rescue. Hundreds of applications to fly as passengers have been received by Mil' ton R. Klepper, chairman of the avia tion committee. Owing to the obvious mpossibility of granting them, all have been rejected, and it is now an nounced that the passenger list will be restricted to members of the press and to victory loan officials, with a few flights offered as rewards for large loan subscriptions. Major Marr will not remain to par ticipate in the flying circus. He is himself credited with the demolition of three Hun planes and has been awarded the croix de guerre and nu merous other decorations. MeMinnville. to Form Company. McMlXNVILLE. Or., April 17.

When winter time would come I would get to feeling badly and would have to lay off from work at times. My work seemed so hard that I just couldn't do it and I would get tired very easily and never felt rested from my night's sleep and I'd have to lay down for ten or fifteen minutes often during the day to get strength to get through with my work at all. 'I was troubled a lot with my kid neys and was bothered with constipa tion and just felt run-down all tne time and my shoulders used to get stiff every once in a while and I had just about lost all hope that there was anything that would do me any good. 'Then I began to hear a lot about Tanlac and how it had hel'jed so many people that had been suffering from a run-down condition, so I made up my mind to try it and see if it would fit my case. I began to pick up from the very first bottle and now after four bottles I feel just like a differ ent person. I sleep better now and, I get up in the morning feeling fine, and I enjoy doing my work and th only rest I take during the day is about twenty or .thirty" minutes after dinner. My kidneys don't bother me now and I am not troubled with con stipation any more; in fact, I Just feel fine in every way. I have gained ten pounds in weight.
