FLOUR EXPORTATION
STEADILY INCREASES
Record Year -for Portland

Al-
832,074 BARRELS SHIPPED
Exports During Firl Four Months
Surpass Half of Totml for
Year 118.
Portland already tn 1919 has exported
I3i. 074 barrels of (lour, which is more
than half of the total (or 1918. and
htppera forecast that it the tonnage
situation Is reasonably tree (or the rest
of the year 1919 wiil so down as the
record (lour pertod (or Portland.
As records now stand 191 leads all
years since the beginning- of flour ex
portation at Portland, the combined
shipments having reached 1.568. ITS bar
rels that were valued at 91S.649.18s.
For the first quarter of 1919 there bad
been shipped 751. Q74 barrels, valued at
7.j:.S:i. and so far this month one
cargo, that aboard the SOO-ton steamer
Went Togus. has been dispatched, and
that amounted to 78.009 barrels.
The best showing on flour exports
previous to 1?1S was made during the
19Oi-07 cereal season, when the com
bined shipments were 1.257.205 barrels.
It was estimated a few days ago that
at least five of the big steel ships
would be assigned for May loading of
flour. June will be the last month on
grinding old-crop wheat, it Is said, yet
it is believed there will no change in
the disposition of the product during
the new-crop period.
The steel shipbuilding programme
promises to end in Portland the latter
part of the year, unless the government
places contracts for more vessels of
larger types, such as Is being consid
ered only contingent on congress ap
propriating the money. It is not im
probable tonnage being built at San
Francisco will find Its way here to load
flour, but that tonnage on Puget sound
will be utilised for shipments originat
ing here. There Is yet hope that some
of the wooden steamers will become
flour carriers, but if It Is finally deter
mined to use them they will no doubt
be loaded after the new cereal year
opens In Julr.
"WOOD HfLLS TO BE UOCHED
Four Ship to Go Into Water During
Next 13 Days.
In the next IS days at least four
wooden hulls are to be launched In the
Oregon district. One of the first will
be the 4500-ton hull Peva. which the
Supple-Bailtn Shipbuilding corporation
has finished at its East Oak street
plant. She Is to leave the ways Tues
day. The Onteoro Is ready at the
Astoria plant of the Wilson Shipbuild

nubile docks will open for the construe
tion of a wharf extension of 300 feet to
pier No. 1 and the construction of the
1500-foot wharf lor pier J.o. z at tne

There was talk at the time of the
forfeiture of Mr. Wakefield's certified

The commission is hurrying plant

the covered section of pier No. 1 nnd
they will be ready in a few days. The

JAPANESE CABLE IS URGED
Better Relations Between Kations
Would Result.
TOKfO. Wednesday. April 23. (By
the Associated Press.) Construction
of a new cable line across the Pacific
to insure better communication be
tween Japan and the United States
was urged by speakers at a dinner
given tonight by the American Japan
ese society. Many American visitors
were guests, including William Potter
of Philadelphia, former American min
ister to Italy; Robert N. Lynch and
Wallace M. Alexander of San Fran
cisco, and Emil Scholz of New York.
Viscount Kaneo urged that there
should be another cable by way of the
Aleutian islands to insure quick com
munication and to remove the possibil
ity of misunderstandings and nullify
the efforts of sensational newspapers
and mischief makers to disrupt the cor
dial relations between Japan and
America.
Mr. Potter said he could assure the
Japanese that America had no selfish
desires as a result of the war and only
seeks the co-operation of Japan to pre
vent future wars and insure the hap
piness of future generations.
Mr. Alexander recommended that an
other cable be built to connect Japan
and the United States. He suggested
that It might be possible to send Amer
ican students to Japanese universities.
American Ambassador Morris . urged
patience, reservation of (judgment and
confidence in the allied delegates in
Paris, whose aim is to create a final
and just peace.

the red guard.
They are Colonels Straubwasser,
Langloss and Baron von Zoller, who
led brigades during; the war; Major
Paraquin, who joined the majority so
cialists after the revolution and led
the revolutionary student body of
Munich university; Captain Zwehl, a
Bavarian cavalry officer, and the
Prince of Wied.
The adherence of these men to the
spartacan ranks is first indication that
persons other than the lowest classes
were participating in the uprising
against law and order.
Spartacans under their command have
fortified the Krupp works at Freimann
north of Munich and attacked the gov
ernment troops near Pfaffenhofen
with a loss of several killed and 50
men made prisoner.
The red guard newspaper is appear
ing regularly in Munich with reports
from the front. These resemble the
old regime German war reports and
are said to tell of victories and often
mention battles which are declared by
the loyal government forces to have
occurred only in the imagination of
their authors.
The fate of the hostages in Munich
is still a matter of doubht. The spar
tacans are said to have determined to
shoot one hostage every 12 hours until
the Hoffmann government releases the
red leader, Braig, who has been im
prisoned.
The communists now are rorging
Bavarian money and paying for their
of Munich brings tales of increasing
terrorism and horror.
Volunteer militia is forming rapidly
in Swabia and Bamberg, upper Bavaria.
Hundreds of soldier students and many
older men are volunteering. The com
munists are trying to send ' the bour
geosie to northern Bavaria rather than
starve them. Red guard troops are
given daily training. Plundering is increasing.
