Germany's new "home guards" system consists of more than ;i 00,000 men, according to recent est imates made by American army officers. These units are quite iipart from the 200.000 soldiers permit ted by the peace treaty. Information in the hands of the intelligence officers indicates that these guards, which are scattered throughout Germanyare pro ceeding with military preparations. The units are composed of .trained soldiers, who! nevertheless, have pledged themselves to a continued- course of military training considerable more ac tive than that of the national guard in the United States. BASEBALL HURTS CHURCH .Philadelphia Pastor. Itlanies Na tional Pastime for Lost Interest. STONY BROOK. N. Y., Aug 3. Devot ing too much energy to Sunday base ball rather than to things more "import ant is causing thousands of persons in large cities to lose interest in the church. Rev. Alexander McCall of Phil adelphia, yesterday tol the new era conference of the Presbyterian church in the United States. Taeoma Pastor Frenches, " CENTRALIS Aug. 3. (Special.) Ksv. Thomas Gambiil of Tacoma, this morning occupied the pulpit of the Win lock M. K. church. The minister 1s a member of the faculty of the College of Puget Sound. v , .Hippodrome. MRS. 3J6RAN-S three ; charming daughters, i the Moran sisters, every one a beauty and young and talented, top the new bill at the Hip podrome, and the audience was quite enraptured with their act. - Two of the girls might be twins, so alike are they in size and coloring, and the third sister is an Irish beauty, a comedienne who is clever enough to do a single, and who plays a violin, a trombone and the piano, not simultan eously, of course. They sing a bit and play a great deal and all of it is done in a spirited, delightful manner. They all understand music, and their playing shows It. Besides whic-h they dress smartly and make a picture at tractive to look upon. Payton and Hickey, one In the role of an Irish chap. and t'other as Hebraic dash in all done up as fox hunters and argue and agree about every subject imaginable. Their trav estied fox hunt is laughable and their pantomime is excellent. Their comedy exchange is new and sparkling a,nd the audience recalled them a half dozen times. - A clever turn is offered by Milton, who does unusually worth-while rapid fire clay modejing while a well-formed girl Venus poses in interpretative and symbolic postures. .Milton's - work is I naturally : done very quickly, but it is He makes busts of famous men and selects one subject from the audience.. There Is spontaneity and a fresh treat ment in this act which pleases. Paul, Levan and Miller have a capi tal demonstration in athletics set to rip-roaring .comedy. One af the trio. In blackface, is a riot of action. Eddie and Lillian have an Italian specialty in which their best offering is on the steel guitar and piano. The photoplay is of unusual comedy interest with occasional exciting nearly dramatic moments. It Is called "Too Many Crooks' nd is a society play, featuring Hadys Leslie in a diverting role, wherein she is made the victim of a practical joke in order to have a lesson taught her. Strand. SOMEWHERE . the spirit of Bret Harte must register gratification for the picturization of "The Outcasts of Poker Flat," complete as to detail and realistic as to surroundings, shown as the feature yesterday of the Strand theater's f irst-of-the-week bill. True, parts of another Harte tale are woven into the Poker Flat narrative, but only to high-light it and make effective a new and happy ending. Harry Carey assumes the role of "Square Shootin' " Lanyon in the pro logue and epilogue," but has the vital role of John Oakhurst, the gentleman gambler, who sacrificed everything for his foster-son. Lanyon, picturing him self as John Oakhurst, profits by the experiences of Oakhurst and brings the picture to a pleasing termination with out. In any way, changing the text of the classic story. Gloria Hope takes the role of Ruth Watson, feminine lead, and of Sophie Winston, one of the outcasts. The blizzard which marks the climax of the story is a fea ture of the film. On the vaudeville bill appears Ser geant Cedric Lindsey, an overseas serv ice man, who gives a bright and snappy act featuring war stories, new and otherwise, balancing stunts on columns of cigar boxes and acrobatic dancing. Doneke and Raymond are two pret tily costumed maids whose offering consists of vocal and piano numbers. Their youthfuiness and girlishness make a strong appeal. Eddy West tells stories and sings a rapid-fire sort of lingo that earns him the title of lightning entertainer. His peppy personality pleases. Nimble-footed Tom West gives a series of dances in costume. There are also an interesting reel of current events and one of "Topics of the Lay," which is a reel of humorous excerpts taken from various news- GERMAN C0ALIS WANTED Kelief of Acute Shortage In Central .Europe Is Proposed. LONDON', Aug. 3. (By the Associated Press.) Coal will be brought from Ger many this winter to relieve the acute shortage in Central Europe and reduce shipments from the United States if the plan laid before the supreme economic council materializes. The council yes terday stated that a committee will meet with the reparations commission to evolve a plan by which immediate coal production will be attractive to Germany. ' ' ' In the opinfon of the council's mem bers, this would mean a lessening of the reparation strain on Germany through other channels. In order to facilitate the delivery of coal, the coun cil even considered special induce ments of clothing and food to the Ger man miners to get them to work. This plan superseded that of a central Eu rope control, discussed yesterday. TYPHUS TRAIN AIDS 20,000 American Red Cross Busy in Siberia Since February 2. NEW YORK. Aug. 3. The.

(Special.) A resolution dissolving the Pacific Navi gation company, -with headquarters at Astoria, was filed in the corporation de partment here today. The Oaks. ASIDE from a- theme of more than usual' interest, much of the beauty of "The Isle of Bon Bon," in which the Armstrong Folly company opened the week yesterday at The Oaks amuse ment park, is in an elaborate series of dazzling costumes in which the princi pals and the big Winter Garden beauty chorus is gowned. , The costumes are of more than pass ing interest to women patrons of The Oaks, for they display not only artful creation, but. In several cases, the ultra modes. "The Isle of Bon Bon," a musi cal comedy of merit, is woven about the story of the lives of Flanigan and Hogan on the island, where the former i.Asi up 1 1 urn a. snipwreQK to una himself crowned kins: under an edict of. the' late, ruler, with the provision that he marry the former king's sister,' Pandora, within 24 hours. - The story creates a wealth of amus ing circumstances and each is enacted by capable performers. Miss rerqueta Courtney plays the role of Flossie Swift, while Kd Arm strong and Gcorse Relin have he parts of Flanigan and H ogan, ' respectively. Grace Newton enacts the part oO Pan dora, and -Miss Lillian Lewis has an in teresting role as Queen Elaine. Howard Evans is cast as Jack Payne. Unusually tuneful musical numbers mark "The Isle of Bon Bon." and a spectacular electrical finale, in which the Winter Garden chorus see-saws as its members sing a suitable refrain, is a delightful finish. The Armstrong male trio, singing "Wonderful Mother of Mine," is pop ularly received and, in fact, was forced to call upon a? reserve repertoire, so successful was their number. Miss Lewis presented an oriental dance. Howard Evans, Miss Grace Newton and Miss Per-queta Courtney sang solo num bers that were delightful. Columbia Beach. AKROPLAN'IXG seems to be a popu lar, diversion for visitors at Co lumbia beach, started on their first trip before most of -Portland had had its breakfast and later in the dav pros pective passengers were on the waiting list. The machine used by this company, the Oregon Aerial Navigation company, is one of the medium-size Curtiss types and is generally recognized as one of the best suited for passenger-carrying work. j While yesterday was not exactly the kind of a day that ordinarily attracts people to the out-of-doors, the Colum bia shore was dotted with groups that found the weather much more enjoy able than they had expected. While Portland was visited bv occasional showers, the rain clouds evidently could not stand the air from the Interior rush ing down the Columbia gorge. In any event, Sunday out there was warm. The Broadway Novelty orchestra, in the dance pavilion, cave several snopiai selections for the benefit of the crowds on tne ooard walk. This diversion seemed so popular that it probably will repeaiea on Sundays. ine tent city at Columbia beach re ceived an unexpected influx Saturday ana Sunday, practically all visitors oeing irom other states. J. M. Rieg, manager of Columbia beach, has sent letters to auto clubs of the south id north advising them of the fact that they are invited to this island for their Btay in Portland.

OppoHitton that developed within the ranks of the Third Oregon infantry was responsible for the resignation of Colonel May, commander, on Friday, according to a statement issued yester day by that official, who explained that he had been placed on the officers' inactive list by the adjutant-general at his own request. Eventually Colonel May expects to sever all connection with the national guard of Oregon. In his statement Colonel May re views the organization of the Third Oregon, setting- forth the pressure that was brought to bear upon him to take command: of the organization and place it on a wartime basis. He explains that he was the only eligible immediately available as a means of effecting fed eralization of the guard at "once. This fact largely influenced him to consid eration of return to command, .whifti otherwise he would preferably have dodged. Acceptance In Explained. "Organization of the regiment of infantry,' said Colonel May, "was au thorized in September, 1918, when an attempt was made to form the regi ment under the name of the Third Ore gon to perpetuate the Kistory of the unit then on duty in France, and which ha been under federal law discharged from state service. Before authorizing the organization of this regiment and its assuming the name of the Third Oregon infantry, Governor Withycombe exacted a promise from all officers that when they returned from overseas they would resign and give their places to returning officers who might desire to enter the national guard. There was also a promise that enlisted men would be. used to fill vacancies in subaltern grades. "On my arrival in Camp Dix, N. J., I received a telegram that I was the unanimous choice of the men for com mander of the regiment and was asked to return to Portland. In view of the fact that I had the impression that it would be a reorganization of the old Third Oregon, I returned to Portland and took command. I found the regi ment had failed to be federally recog nized on account of several deficiencies, principally ineligibility of officers, and that regimental organization had not been completed, several companies hav ing not been formed. .Adjotant-Grneral Pont Offered. "At this time Governor Olcott ear nestly solicited my services as adjutant-general to reorganize the najtional guard and demobilize the state forces. I was very reXictant to accept , and re peatedly declined, but as the governor stated that it was a patriotic duty that I owed the state of Oregon, and feeling that I owed the state of Oregon my services, if needed, for a short time, I told the governor that if he could obtain permission fro mthe federal manager of railroads for my acceptance of the po sition and an extensfon of my leave of absence. I would assume the duties of the office until such time as I had com pleted the organization and demobiliza tion of state troops, with the under standing ( that the former, adjutant general. Colonel George A. -White, would relieve me on his returrt from France.. Leave of absence was granted me for 60 days. Companies Added to Reprlment. "I completed the organization of the regiment by adding six additional com panies and by the issuance of arma ment and uniforms made the regiment fit for duty as a state force. At this time the militia bureau in Washington suspended organizing the national guard on account of failure of the ap propriations bill to pass congress, and doubt as to what the future policy of congress would be as to the national guard. Then, according to agreement. I resigned "the office of adjutant-general and returned to my duties with the United States railway administra tion. "When I was appointed adjutant general I was relieved from duty from the Third Oregon infantry and placed on the detached officers list as colonel of infantry, with the understanding that when relieved as adjutant-general T would be returned to duty with the Third Oregon. In the meantime I was given to understand that opposition to my return to my command of the regi ment had developed among the officers of the regiment, and under the circum stances decided to eliminate myself from any consideration as to duty with the regiment. Federal Inn pert Ion Held. "Inspection for federal recognition was recently made by an officer de tailed from the western division, and only 10 companies out of the 15 re quired were extended federal recog nition. The colonel, bejng among those found not eligible under the national defense act, as the complete equipping of the Oregon national guard depends upon federal recognition, and I being the 'only officer in Oregon who was qualified under the state and national laws for immediate recognition, was by order of .the adjutant-general placed on duty with the Third Oregon Infantry for the purpose of obtaining federal recognition, and after this had been done, it fas my intention to resign , and allow the vacancy to be filled in the regular way. "Before I had assumed -commandof the regiment I found a very decided opposition within the regiment to- my assuming command, and as I felt that at the best with harmonious conditions existing it would entail a great deal of hard work to place the regiment on the efficient basis that I desired. I did not feel that I could do so without the loyal support of the officers, and therefore informed the adjutant-general that in my opinion it was for the best interests of the service that the order placing me on duty with the regiment be re voiced,' which was done. Connections to Be Severed. - ; "My intention at present is entirely to sever my connection with the na tional guard as I feel that my 30 years of serv)ce with the state forces, during Ahichtme I have participated in three wars and served the state at all times without pay, entities me to retire with the feeling that I rave given the state my share of service. As to my record, I refer to letters published elsewhere in this issue from Brigadier-General W. -.. Scott, rssu'i.r army, who com manded base section No. 2: Brijradier- General Vollrath, who commanded my brigade and the 41st division during m v entire period -of service: from Major-General Robert T.
