Mr. Craham. who had charge of getting Alaska's share of the paper from Seattle to Alaska, telegraphed that the certificates would have to be in Seattle by S o'clock last night, and this made the proposed stops along the route impossible. Hand hac Contains 3iotes. Fared by the necessity of speeding up his schedule, already a fast one, Mr. Smith gave up plans to stop at Roseburg and other Oregon towns and came right through from Redding to Portland, alighting only a few min utes at Eugeno for gas and oil. The $ ;t 50, ooo worth of certificates he sent to Portland from Redding by express are to be distributed throughout the northwest by express during the com ln t week. The federal director alighted in Port land from the clouds with his yellow handbag in his hand. In it was con tained the $50,000 worth of new gov prnnient notes in denominations of $100 and $1000.

Ktheridge, director of sales for liberty loans in this state, drove the automobile which carried Mr, Smith and his valuable cargo from the Kast moreland field, where the airplane had alighted, to Linnton, and made the trip through the city as rapidly as the law allowed. The "Vogler Boy," one of the fastest motorboata on the river, was waiting at Linnton with F. W. Vogler at the wheel. The trip down the Wil lamette to the Columbia and thence to Kalama was made in short time. At the wharf at Kalama was waiting the au tomobile in which the notes were to be carried on the last lap of their journey to Seattle. K. E. Edmund, accounting officer for the liberty loan committee in Oregon, had charge of arrangements for this position of the trip. raperfi to It Ruhed. What vessel would be waiting to take the certificates to Alaska at 8 o'clock last night. Mr. Smith did not know. His part of the work would be successfully completed, he paid yester day, if the certificates reached the hands of Mr. Graham at Seattle before S o'clock last night. Mr. Graham is in charge of the transportation of the gov ernment notes to Alaska. Lieutenant Xeubig, who was with the army fliers in Portland at the time of The Rose Festival and later flew to Cal ifornia with Milton R.

In the race to carry the federal bank director to Seattle In the alloted time. Lieutenant Neubig drove his plane at a rate yesterday which broke all pre vious records for the trip. When Mr Smith stepped from the airplane and into a waiting automobile it was just 12 o'clock, and the trip from Mather field. 535 miles, had been accomplished in just ?'2o minutes of actual flying time, an average of approximately 100 miles an hour. "The first I knew of the trip was when I received word from aerial head quarters yesterday morning that I was to fly to Portland that afternoon,, eaid Lieutenant Neubig yesterday. "I tuned up a machine and flew the 75 miles from Mather field to San Francisco, where I picked up Mr. Smith and the yellow bag which contained $50,000 worth of government notes. My engine was r.ot running well, so we flew back to Mather field and changed planes. Jt was just 0 1. M. when we left -Mather i ield on our way north." With savings Redding Reached In. 90 Minutes. Paul Findlay, retail merchandiser of The trip to Redding, where a stop the California Fruit Growers Ex was made for the night, was made in change, will address Portland grocers minutes, the distance being 163 J and merchants at the meeting of the miles.

The trip to Portland consumed 65 minutes. The trip was made under almost ideal cir cumstances, according to Lieutenant Neubig, the air being warm and at mospheric conditions helpful. A high altitude was maintained t li rough out, the Siskiyou mountains being crossed at 1.000 fet-t and Mount Shasta being skirted at 14.000 feet. A graphic account of the forest fires raging in the vicinity of Grants Pass was given by the army flier, who told of feeling the heat from the flames at O'U'O feet above the tree tops. Forest Klre Heat Felt. "Between Roseburg and Grants Pass the entire mountain forest teemed in flames.' said Lieutenant Neubig. "We could scnrcely see the ground for the smoke th:i t was billowed below us. Occasionally we could see flames burst ing clear above the tree tops. We could feel the heat and smell the smoke pluinly even at our higli altitude. I would estimate that at least 2500 acres of timber land were in flames between Roseburg and Grants Pass. A tribute to Mr. Smith's gameness as a flyer was given by Lieutenant Neubig. who declared the federal direc tor stood the long trip wonderfully I - . " - t i I .

Hand Kept on Valuables, The yellow traveling bag containing the $50,000 of government savings certificates never left Mr. Smith's hand during the entire trip, declared Lieu tenant Neubig. 'I never saw Mr. Smith's hand off the bag during the entire trip," he said. "If we had taken a tumble and plunged into the tree tops I'll guarantee that when the debris was cleared away you would have found Mr. Smith with the handle of the bag still f i rmly grasped in his hand. He never let go of it even when we were 14,000 feet above ground." The plane is much larger than those used here during the festival, and is equi pped with a motor of three times the horse power. The De Haviland has a 45-horse power Libert y motor and a wing span of 45 feet. The machines here for the festival had but 150-horse power motors. The plane will remain at Eastmore land field until about 4 o'clock this afternoon, when Lieutenant Neubig expects to start back to Mather field. Sergeant Walter Reed arrived last night from Mather field by train and will make the t:ii back with the pilot. It is planned to go from here to Eu gene this evening, stop there for the night and to complete the journey to morrow. No exhibition flights will be made today, Lieutenant Neubig said, as it will take nearly the whole day until time of departure to tune the motor up for the trip back.

LAD, HEED 6, IS DH1E0 MAX M. FROST WADES INTO DEtP WATER IX-COLUMBIA. Boy AVanders From. Ticnlc Party With Companions, Who Bring Assistance Too Late. Max M. Frost, six years old, was drowned at Columbia beach at 5:30 P. M. yesterday as a result of wading into deep water. The little boy Is the son of Mrs. George Kincaid of Astoria, and lived with Mrs. Graco Leabo on rural route No. 6, out of .Portland. With Mrs. Leabo and members of a picnic party, the lad had gone to the beach. With two other little boys lie had gone to the lower end of the beach near the trestle of the Portland, Rail way, Light &. Power company. Pre ceding the other boys, according to their recital, ho went into deeper water as they were following the shore line, and his clothes becoming watersoaked he was unable to get to shore. It was probably 40 minutes after he went down that the body was recovered, only about 10 feet from shore. The pulmotor of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company was used in an effort to resuscitate life, but tho at tempt was unsuccessful. The place where the tragedy oc curred is fully half a mile from the main part of the resort and is seldom frequented "by bathers. It is at the extreme western end toward the in terstate bridge. There are six life guards at tha beach, but the men of the picnic party were so alarmed, that, instead of seeking the expert swim mers, they hunted Joseph M. Rieg, the manager. On this account much d lay was occasioned. More than 150 bathers formed a chain out into the water, once the rescue party had ar rived on the scene, but searching: was found unnecessary, as the body was floating on the surface almost at the shore, despite the fact that the two little boys had reported that ft had sunk . Until the pulmotor was brought the life guards worked over the body, to no avail. At 7:15 all hopes of saving the child were given up and the coro ner was sent for. This Is the second drowning that h occurred at the beach this season, the other resulting from heart failure. The boy's mother evidently was un able to care for her son and have him with her, so he had been living at Mrs. Leabo's borne. Mrs. Kincaid has been notified of the accident.

A large staff of experts is pushing work on Germany's preliminary plans for the restoration of devastated north ern France and Belgium. Theea plans will be submitted to the allies. At the same time the work of organization is being pushed so that if the allies ac cept Germany's ten tat I ve proposals, wholly or in part, the restoration of the devastated d istrlcts can be bgun immediately. Under this ambitious scheme the ex perts who have it in hand declare that Germany will have no trouble in rais ing quickly an army of 600.000 high grade laborers for atonement service in France and Belgium and could re cruit 1,000.000 volunteer German work men if necesFary. Plan II aa I n ion Support. The basic idea, which has the whole souled support of the German labor unions, is to. make the restoration job purely a state enterprise, elimlnat ing all private profiteering in furnishing labor and material. The tentative scheme bars anything like slave labor, peonage or the drafting of workmen. Germany's restoration experts argue that the best results will.be attainable only by free, union labor receiving union wages and working union hours under a high standard of living condi tions. Accordingly Germany will be covered with a network of state em ployment bureaus wh ich will sek to, attract only tho highest grades of labor of all classes for service in France and Belgium. This will be done by offer- ng the highest wages and special in ducements such as free clothing and equipment, the promise of the same good rations or even better as are received by Germany's volunteer army, and free housing in attractive eanitarj barracks. . Railroad TriDiporti Organised. Plans have already been prepared for concentrating the recruited laborers at central depots, where they will be fitted out. From these de-pots railroad ransports which are already organized will hurry them to devastated France nd Belgium. The scheme further calls for the ex penditure of o.000,00 marks for building 500 model barrack villages In northern France and Belgium. Each village will house 1000 laborers and will have a recreation hous. a fire-en gine house, a library, a children's play ground, garden plots and all other mod ern improvements. The sperif ications call for ten rooms to a house, with only two laborers to room. Each house will contain a clubroom. a bathroom and will be heated by steam, as the experts figure that the maximum amount of work can only be got out of happy, consented workmen. Each village will also contain cer tain apartment barracks for workmen who choose to bring their families with them. The plans further call for narrow-gauge railways to link up the laborers' villages. Social lata See Opportunity. German socialists and labor leaders see in the obligatory restoration of Belgium and France a great opportu nity of convincing the world of the new Germany's good faith and Inci dentally of helping to get It back into the world's good graces by tackling the'huge task of reconstruction in the right spirit and making a good job of It. One labor leader said to me: "We are anxious to show the world what we can do to atone for the sins of the old regime by doing a monumental piece of kultur work of which we may be Justly proud." DANGER IN ORIENT SEEN Educator Fears Work of Peace Mak ers Will Be in Vain. SAN FRANCISCO. July 20. '1 fear that within two decades the whole work of the peace conference will have to be done over again, unless It is at tended to now," declared Dr. Charles K. Edmunds, one of the most noted Amer ican explorers and educators in China, in protesting the award of Shantung to Japan in an address here today be fore the commercial club. "The Chinese-Japanese situation Is a duplicate of the recent situation in Eu rope, with a militaristic Prussian party in control and the populace in favor of democratic larty. It must be our concern to fasten to and aid the right party in the future. "The situation is the remnant of the whole international attitude toward China, not of Japan only. Japan only takes her cue from other powers which showed her In the . past how they treated China. China looks to the United States for help. We should in the orient apply the same principles of righteousness a we appliel in Europe." DENTIST IS HELD SLAVER Massachusetts Man Arrested In I-os Angeles; Girl Freed. LOS ANGELES. July 20.
