Marian Bundeke. Julia Watson and Jo sephine Bliss are the freshmen, Hilde garde Wipperman the sophomore and Eleanor Gaik, Adeline Briggs and Jes sie Megath are the juniors. Clarence Lane of Honolulu, now a student at St. Mary's college, Oakland, Cal., was recently credited with swim ming 50 yards in 24 seconds in varsity competition. The performance is be ing investigated by the I. S. A. author ities and if it develops that all re tirements were complied with it will be accepted as a national collegiate record in place of the 25-second stand ard set a short while ago by Edwin Binney of Yale. . It has been learned that plans are on ffot to send a team of American girl swimmers to the Olympic water carnival of 1320 and the news is de cidedly pleasing, for recent events have shown rather conclusively that, as a group, our mermaids now lead the world. Two sectional records were shattered NTEfiES EU by representatives of the Milwaukee A. C. at a meet held a few days ago in the 76-foot home pool. Miss Helen Thofnsen wqn the Central- A. A. U. 100 yard breast stroke championship for women in 1 minute 32 1-5 seconds, clip ping the former district standard by the big margin of 13 1-5 seconds, and Arthur Thomsen lowered the state rec ord for 500-yard free style swimming to 6 minutes 56 4-5 seconds. , If scores mean anything i fancy diving Patsy Young of Cleveland will have to be reckoned with hereafter in national competition. He won the springboard camplonshlp of the Alle gheny Mountain A. A. U. last week with a total of 121 points and his seems to place him among the country's best. m a I The New York Women's Swimming association has developed a young mermaid of truly sensational ability in Miss Ethelda Bleibtrey, the 16-year-old girl who captured the national 500 yard championship for women a week ago at Brighton Beach. N. Y. Her vic tory was the more amazing in that she competed in the 150-yard back stroke national title race the previous day in Pittsburg and swam virtually a dead heat with the winner. Miss Ruth Smith of Columbus, in the world's record time of 2 minutes 17 2-5 seconds. The famous little twin mermaids of Columbus, Ohio, Ruth and Eleanor Smith, now respective world's record ists at back and breast stroke swim ming, have been invited to engage in match races with eastern girl rivals. If they accept, as hoped, Ruth will meet at the backstroke Ethelda Bleibtrey and Eleanor will swim the breast stroke against Mabel Arklie of Phila delphia, the national champion. Experts feel confident that both contests will result in further cuts in the interna tional standards.- B00MJN TRADE PREDICTED Financier Says Much Hangs on Ex tension of Credit. BUFFALO. Predicting the greatest boom in foreign commerce this country has ever seen when American exporters see fit to make liberal extensions of credit, Vicente Gonzales, speaking as the representative of the Mercantile bank of the Americas warned business men attending the importers and ex porters board meeting here, that they must not wait for the peace conference to settle the exchange problems, but must strike now before Europe recov ers from its paralysis. "The foreign buyers are holding off to see American exporters undsell. themselves in the strenuous competi tion which was expected to follow the war," declared Mr. Gonzales, who said that the foreigner must be convinced that prices will not tumble. Mr. Gon zales in emphasizing the importance of extending credit in developing business abroad at .this time, warned business interests of the dangers of contstrlct ing trade in general. "The wider distribution of wealth In foreign countries," said Mr. Ganzales, "must precede any great development in our export business. Much of the prosperity abroad is due to rise in raw materials concentrated in the hands of a few. The people, except in few cases, have not benefited by such high prices. When this has taken place and when American exporters have seen fit to make liberal extensions of credit, I pre dict the greatest boom in foreign com cerce that this co'untry has ever seen. "We all know that during the war al most all stocks of foreign merchandise have been more or less consumed. Dif ficulties in procuring credit and trans portation, export restrictions, shortage of some manufacturers and disturb ances of exchange have prevented the people of all countries from importing enough goods for actual consumption, and almost all merchants have been clearing up their stocks of goods sal able and unsalable at very satisfactory prices. "They should be, therefore, today in a splendid position to buy again. In fact. I believe they are. But they have been paying fancy prices war prices, and they expected that almost at once the excess price would be eliminated and that they could buy much cheaper. "Precaution or natural commercial instinct warned them to keep away for a while. They all knew that Europe, in spite of. statements to the contrary, could not supply any quantity of manu factured goods fo'r some time. They also knew that ships could not be re leased at once for peace time trade. And it was not on our European com petitors that they counted at all. "They expected that American ex porters could understand themselves and that the best policy was to wait. They are still waiting because the fall in prices has not shown its teeth, and has become effective only on very few articles." ROAL RESERVES BLOCKED Adequate Supplies In Alaska Assured Several Years. ANCHORAGE. Alaska. Sufficient coal reserve deposits have been blocked out at the mine operated by the Alaska engineering commission at Eska. 58 miles northeast of here, to insure the commission an adequate fuel supply for several years. Burner S. Smith, in charge of the commission's coal de partment, reports. The output, he says, is sufficient to afford not only ample supply of fuel for construction and operation of the government railroad, but also a surplus large enough to pro tect against interrupted traffic and mine accidents. Six different beds of coal or varying thickness are under exploration at Eska. The roomand pillar method of mining has been adopted as mast suit able to conditions encountered. Kaclng Swindlers Hold.

MAYOR 'ASKS CONDITIONS Senator McXary, in fight to Savo Vessel From Scrap Heap, to Con fer With Xrtjt Official. BATTLESHIP OREGOV MAY BE HAD FOR ASKIXG. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Washington, May 2. A request either from the state of Oregon or the city of Portland asking that the battleship Oregon be turned over to the state or city to be maintained as a permanent victory ehip will be considered favorably by the navy depart ment. Acting Secretary of the Navy Franklin . Roosevelt said today. He said that, despite previous assurances tha the ship would not be dismantled, it, had been found necessary to take her out of commission for lack of suffi cient personnel to keep her in service. The announcement of a decision to put the ship out of commis sion yesterday was a reversal of a public statement given out by the navy department on Wednesday. Assignment of the historic battleship Oregon to the Oregon naval militia as a training ship in Portland harbor will be strongly urged by Mayor Baker upon Acting Secretary Roosevelt of the navy. Mayor Baker yesterday sent a telegram asking the conditions under which the navy department would place the fa mous battleship In Portland harbor. The telegram addressed to Mr. Roose velt read: "Understand you have announced that U. S. R Oregon will be placed in Portland harbor provided certain con ditions are met. Will you kindly ad vise in, of these conditions?" The dispatching of the telegram fol lowed a report of a statement purport ed to have been made yesterday by Mr. Roosevelt to the effect that the Oregon would be placed in Portland's harbor provided either the state of Oregon or the city 0t Portland would maintain the vessel. Educational Need Asserted. The city council yesterday concurred in a resolution adopted by the senate and house of representatives In the last legislative assembly, petitioning the assignment of the, Oregon as train ing ship for the Oregon naval militia. George S. Shepherd, commander of the militia, appeared before the council and cited the benefits of securing the ship as a training ship for the militia. Such a plan, he said, would not alone bring the famous craft to the harbor permanently but would also furnish proper facilities for the education and training of Oregon men. Senator McNary, who is making an active fight to save the Oregon from the scrap heap the designation made several days ago. by Secretary Roose velt ror the Oregon will have a con ference with Mr. Roosevelt this morn ing on the final disposition of the ship. according to a message received by Mayor Baker yesterday. Training School Possible. Mayor Baker yesterday telephoned to Governor Olcott asking for informa tion concerning an appropriation of $10,000 made by the last legislature for the Oregon naval militia. Governor Olcott will transmit a mes sage to Mr. Roosevelt this morning, giving him fuli details on the money available which can be used in the maintenance of the Oregon, according to assurance received yesterday by Lieutenant Jones, executive officer of the Oregon naval militia. The Oregon, If assigned to the naval militia, will serve more than a mere curiosity, according to Lieutenant Jones. The ship can be used as a train ing school for the shipping board navi gation classes, and also would afford opportunity to establish a marine en gineering school, doing away with the necessity of sending Portland students lo Pusct sound for education. Resolution I Adopted. The resolution passed by the legisla ture and concurred in yesterday by the city council follows: Whereas. Oregon has been foremost of the states In providing her quota of vol unteers for the war and in supplying; her allotment of liberty loans, and in the fore front at the first call for every patriotic and humane work: her sons have rendered distinguished service on the field of bat tle or In whatever capacity they have been permitted to serve; she has contributed to the navy over POO of her trained naval mili tia, ana nas trained ana supplied the mer chant marine with others ot her naval forces at a time ot need: and Whereas. Every cltlen of Oregon hss a spoclal pride and interest In the United States battleship Oregon and earnestly de sires that she be more decidedly identlflmd with the slates as an Inspiration to the crowing population, and as a means of de veloping the instinct for tho sea, and the traditions of our navy and country; now, therefore, be it Resolved, By the aenate, the housa of representatives concurring, that the state of Oregon, through its legislative assembly, does, hereby most earnestly urge and pe tition the navy department of the United States to loan to the state of Oregon the V. 3. S. Oregon as a training ship tor the use of the Oregon naval militia. The council of the city of Portland, In regular session assembled, concurs and strongly advocates that the above petition be granted and that the mayor be authorised to negotiate with the proper authorities in said matter.

RAIL SHIPMENTS INCREASE Statistics Asked With View of 3Ioy ing Traffic More Cheaply Be tween Coast Points. OUEGOMAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. With a view to aacprtaining what proportion of the freight trafflo movingr between the two coasts could be more advantageously transported by "water. Senator McNary of Orejron called on the Interstate Commerce com mission for statistics on the amount of transcontinental shipments by water and rail In the period preceding the war with Germany. . This information sought with a view to making a campaign for a hiprhcr use of the Columbia river In the move ment of freight from coast to coast, on the theory that a merchant marine adequate to handle all the traffic that can be moved more cheaply by water from one roast to another would Rive a better outlet for Pacific coast products and make it possible to compete with the east on many commodities now shut out of the east by prohibitive railroad rates. nail Shipments Are Heavy. He received in a reply a letter from Clyde B. Aitchlson. chairman of the Interstate Commerce commission, which says: The staistics which yon seek In re -arard to the total movement of freight from the Pacific coast to the Atlantic seaboard by rail and by water and also the total movement from the At lantic seaboard to the Pacific coast by rail and water, during the period prior to our entrance into the war has never been fully compiled so far as my Information extends. "You probably are aware of the fact that in the fall of 191 when the great slids took ploce in the Panama canal it was impossible for the boats to use that waterway for some months and during those months the extraordinary prices which were offered for the transportation of freight between the eastern coast of the United States and the European countries had the effect of attracting nearly all of the boats theretofore engaged in coastwise traf fic between the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts away from this service. Regular Boats Lacking. "When the canal was again ready for operation there were no regular boats moving between the twoboasts of the United States. There have been sporadic movements from time te time of cargo laden vessels from west to east and from east to west, but it may be fairly said that since the first of January, 1916, the great bulk of the traffic between the two coasts has moved by rail. This should be taken into account in connection with the following statementr "During the months of January, April, July and October, 1916, the ton jiage originating on and east of the "Missouri river or east of trans continental group V and moving to Pacific coast ports and Intermediate territory was as follows: To Pacific coast ports, domestic, 506, 730 tons. C1P m OPENS TO RIVER ROUTE W'.V?.i . L w, It JO export, 240,191 tons; to points in the states of New Mexico. Colorado, Utah, Arixona, Nevada, Montana. Idaho. Wyo mnig, and to nonterminal points in California, Oregon and Washington, 998,104 tons. AVeatbonad Tftasatr Grows. "The movement therefore to the coast, domestic and export, for these four months amounting to 746,921 tons. Upon the assumption that these four months were representative months of the year 1916. it might fairly be expected that the total movement of westbound tonnage from all territory east of the Missouri river to the Pacific coast terminals would in a year amount to approximately 2.240.763 tons. What percentage of this tonnage originated at or near the Atlantic seaboard I have no means of telling. "Prom exhibits filed in our rate hear ings by the steamship companies and by the Southern Pacific company it was shown that the total tonnage moved by the American-Hawaiian Steamship company. Luckenbach Steamship company and Atlantic and Pacific Steamship company for the year ending June 30. 1915, from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific coast was 724.394 tons. This docs not Include all of the water movement. "The Panama Canal commission re ports the total tonnage moving from the Atlantic to the Pacific for the period from August 15. 1914. when the canal was opened, to June 30. 1915, as 951.04 4 tons. This as you tea is not a year's business but 1014 months. It could fairly be 'expected from this showing that a compilation of a year's business would ehow a movement by water from the Atlantic to the Pacific of upwards of 1.000,000 tons. W(rr Carsroes Iarrrair. "Since we have seen that the total shipments form all territory east of the Missouri river to the Pacific coast points for the year 1916 was approx imately 2,240,763 tons and this includes shipments originating not only on the Atlantic seaboard but In all the great country intervening between the At. lantlcseaboard and the Missouri river. It is clear that very much less than 2.000.000 of tona of this freight origi nated at or near the Atlantic seaboard, and my personal Impression Is that not greatly more than half of this traffic could have originated at or near the Atlantic seaboard and that the con clusion to be drawn from the operation of boats during the year following the opening of the Panama canal and their conveyance of approximately 1,000,000 tons of freight from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast Is that during that period the great bulk of the freight originat ing at or near the Atlantic seaboard and moving to the Pacific coast cities must have moved by water. "The Panama Canal commission also reports the movement during the period beginning August 15, 1914. and ending June 30, 1915, from the Pacific Coast to the Atlautic by water of 895,614 tons. How much moved by rail I am not Informed. Tonsjagre Is Samsjaisurtaed. "The steamships of the American Hawaiian Steamship company during the period from August 15. 1914. to June 3. 1915. carried the following ton nage from the Atlantic coast to Los Angeles and San Diego 8S.391 tons; to San Francisco 237.059 tons: to Portland 56.949 tons: to Puget .sound 95,94 tons; to the Hawaiian islands 50.736 tons. The total tonnage which moved by water from the Atlantic to the Pacific during the year following the opening of the Panama canal waa little more than double the amount In anv prior year." BALTIC TRADE DESIRED Scandinavian Interests Trying to Secure Control. NEW YORK. Reference has been made heretofore to the attempts about to be made by Scandinavian interests to secure control of the Baltic trade through the establishment of free ports. They Win You On Quality! Your enjoyment of Camels will be very great be cause their refreshing flavor and fragrance and mellowness is so enticingly different. You never tasted such a cigarette! Bite is eliminated and there is a cheerful absence of any unpleasant cigaretty aftertaste or any unpleasant cigaretty odor! Camels are made of an expert blend of choice Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos and are smooth and mild, but have that desirable full-body and certainly hand out satisfaction in generous measure. They are good all the way through and may be smoked liberally without tiring your taste. You will prefer this Camel blend to either kind of tobacco smoked Give Camels the stiffest tryout, then compare them with any cigarette in the world at any price for satisfaction. iVb matter you smoke Camels they will not tire your, taste! R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY Winston-Salem, N. C uiBskjiiMislw Sweden has been active in this connec tion. Malmo has already a free port and the necessary legislation to give this status to Stockholm, the capital, and to Gothenborg, has already been enacted. Warehouses are being con structed and raw materials of every description may be landed duty free and stored for re-shipment. The Sweiiif-h commercial interests which arc laying the plans for the expected development Pont out that they know the particular needs of the Baltic peoples, that they have the necessary credit information, and could, moreover, by virtue of their location, trade more advantageously. They expect, apparently, to buy their merchandise here on cash or on short credits and assume the risk of the trade. London has heard that representa tives of tho Swedish government are proposing the negotiation of a loan in the United States in excess of 100.000. 000 crowns (more than S25.0OO.OOO at normal exchange). A strong demand la reported from the southern part of Sweden for textiles, clothes, hosiery, cotton 'and woolen suitings, dyes and chemicals, rubber goods, electric Installation materials, radiators, pumps, boilers, sanitary fix tures and office utensils. It is inter esting to note that a government com mission is at present studying the im port tariff of Sweden, with the idea of downward revision. Some demand for free trade has been heard. Co-operation between the three Scandinavian countries In the whole tariff problem la proposed. BRITISH TO REGAIN TRADE Lines to South America- Re-established After War Cease. NEW YORK. The success of the solution reached by the various parties to the British industrial dispute is be ing reflected In the news which is now coming from the other side concerning business conditions In general. While the cost of production is admittedly higher. British, trade Interests seem to be able to go ahead with their old vigor, and to be In a fair way to re establish themselves in the markets which were so predominantly theirs in the pre-war period. There seems little doubt, fo. instance, that they will re gain a large part of their South Ameri can trade, and indeed that such recov ery Is well under way. British lines to Fouth America were re-established as soon as the cessation of hostilities made such diversion possible. Export restrictions of almost every kind were removed in quick order, and the re-ex. port business Immediately began to come again Into its own. Parliament is considering a bill to prevent the "dump ing" of foreign goods, and plans for binding the colonies and overseas pos sessions closer are being considered and discussed. The British, moreover, have shown a commendable desire to learn from whoever had the ability to teach, and American selling methods In Cuba have been held, up as a model for traders who would operate in Latin America. All the difficulties, of course, are not out of the way. But it would teem, from the information at hand, that with the most pressing problem suc cessfully solved, the business men and financiers of Great Britain had found the courage to go ahead in a fine spirit of optimism, and to lay their plans and make their decisions on the scale that the situation made necessary. TURKISH TRADE REOPENS New Era Dawning for the Balkans and in the Levant. NEW YORK. The American cham ber of commerce for the levant, closed throughout the war. has been reopened, and an, appeal has been issued by its president that business men Interested in the development of American trade In the Balkans and in the levant asso ciate themselves with it for the new era which is dawning. Because theso straight! quality, flavor, how liberallv . : STEMS lands arc for the large part freed from the onus of Turkish mUrulc, authori ties believe that their future is almost limitless. American trade In the le vant was not inconsiderable before the war. To what extent it will be de veloped in the future depends upon the Initiative shown by American business. Charles Wallace Collins. . in a recent article, said that the chief factor would be the willingness of Americans to In vest their money in levantine develop ment. He pointed out the belief of Germans in the futuer of tho country, and their willingness to go to war for the domination of tho near east. He proposes that Americans go into the country, furnish the directing force and the money for the building of rail roads, trolley lines, telegraph, tele phone. Irrigation and reclamation proj ects, power plants, industrial plants, water works and the like. The Invest ment, he pointed out. would not only pay an interest, but would give them the direction and control over the op eration of the Investments, including the purchasing of materials and sup plies In the American market. Nor would the demand thus created be lim ited to industrial supplies, but would extend to all those goods needed in a rapidly developing community ,as the productivity of the land increased. For the present, the unstable condi tion of Turkish currency makes trad ing witii Constantinople difficult, but improvement Is looked for. FIELD S MADE ON SPOT Printing and Lithographing Plant Carried on 5-Ton Trurk. PARIS. The 29th Engineers or the American Expeditionary forco are con ducting some interesting experiments in map making and reproducing in the field. With a five-ton truck as a print ing and lithographic establishment they have succeeded in turning out 10,000 copies of field maps an hour. The French and British are taking a keen interest in the American outfit as they have used a railway train for such work and their best output has been about 300 copies an hour. Fur thermore a railway train is limited in operation to available tracgake while there virtually is no limitation to the mobility of the truck. Artificial Limbs Made in Belgrade. HELfSRADE. The numerous crip pled soldiers of Serbia are to be pro vided with American-made artificial limbs, according to an arrangement made by the American Red Cross mis sion to the Balkans.
