THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, ' THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1920 T General Barnett Wrecks Pair of Traditions. CORPS SPIRIT PRAISED Commandant ot Soldier - Sailors Proves Self on Time Although 3 9 Minutes Late. Hey, buddies'. The marines did not win the war. "Tis true there has "been some sort of an idea that they did a few of them and 'tis also true that the ma rines as a whole have not acted bo as to dispel this impression, but It isn't so. At least, not quite so. Major-General George Barnett. who. S commander of all the American marines, ought to know, said yester day definitely that the marines did "not win the war. "So, you doughboys, you needn't feel o blue about it any more. But the general broke oil marine traditions to smithereens yesterday. Whisper it old "Father Time," as the marines call him was 39 minutes and 22 seconds late for an engage ment. Won't that be told in Guam, on the Potomac, in Haiti, Santa Domingo, China, the canal zgne and everywhere over the globe where those "few marines" are gathered with glee and something akin to amazement? And when the general really failed to appear on schedule, his aide. Lieu tenant Charles L. Murray, glanced at a clock and murmured in an awed tone. Clock Errs, Says) Aide. ."The general is never late. The clock must be wrong." The general finally did appear. He said that he had been at his appoint ment on the dot, but that his chauf feur had assured him that another place was meant, and being ignorant of Portland, he had then driven there. "No. sir," said the general, "marine traditions of absolute punctuality are intact. I was on time." So, with the general's alibi, we'll let it go at that. Now as to that war stuff. "'""Those 8000 marines played in won derful luck, but luck would have been .worth nothing if they had not had brains to back it up. Not a marine aot to France unless he was wearing at least a marksmen's medal. The sit uation was there. They seized it and the world knows the story. Coolness Awes Krcnch. "A Frenchman told me that in the heart of a hot advance he watched some of our marines cold-bloodedly "adjusting their sights, while the aver- age Frenchman was satisfied so long as he was shooting somewhere in me direction of the enemy under such conditions. ! "But what thrills me is that an - American woman was in the advance - lines nursing Frenchmen. Sudisi . she head youthful voices joyfully yell ; ing 'Over There.' She -ild not know an American soldier was in France. ; The French wcr allinB back in dis- - order. Paris was endangered. Then that woman saw the marines coming over the hill." The general is inspecting marine - recruiting stations, but the spirit of the marines has kept everything in - apple-pie order, he indicated. " "You know the spirit of the ma ' rines," General Barnatt went on. "A new recruit had been in the service a week. Another had been there a day. The second did something or other. The first recruit went up to him. t " 'Hey,' he said sternly, "We don't do that in the marines.' Office Open to ''Bui'k." 1 "We have an esprit de corps. My office, for instance, is open readily at :." any hours of the day to any enlisted 7 man just as much as to any com---' mander -of a regiment." "But the marines seem to have a knack for publicity," suggested the interviewer. . "There are several reasons. The - first is that the first tradition of the marines is politeness. A woman met " me -on the streets today. " I just wanted to speak to you, " for my son was in the marines she - said. "Now she knew she was welcome snd I was delighted to meet her. Her HE HAD SUFFERED FOR THIRTY YEARS Telephone Man Says Tanlac Has Now Completely Overcome His Indigestion. 'Although it has been two years now since Tanlac straightened me up 1 am st ill feeling fine," said O. W. Grigg, 4929 Sixty-second street south east. Portland. Or., an employe of the Pacific Telephone company." "When 1 began taking Tanlac I had been bothered with stomach trouble off and on for 30 years, which had gradually grown worse until I was in a mighty bad shape, but by the time 1 had taken only three bottles of this wonderful medicine all my troubles were gone and I had gained IS pounds in weight. I could not eat a single Oiling without its hurting me. After livery meal my food would just He in my stomach undigested, turn sour and ferment, causing me to bloat up with IS a. a until I was as tight as a drum. My heart palpitated so badly and acted so queerly at times I became frightened for fear I had heart trouble. My liver was all out of order, 1 suffered with severe headaches and often became so dizzy I could hardly stand up. I lost a great deal in weight, felt tired and wornout al the time, had little life or energy left and was so weak 1 could barely get around. "I tried just about everything for my troubles I could hear off, but up' until I got hold of Tanlac had failed to find anything to help me. Well, sir, after 1 had finished my first bot tle of Tanlac my stomach was in such good shape I could eat just anything 1 wanted without having a particle of trouble afterward and it has never bothered me from that day to this. In a short while my liver became active, the headaches stopped and 1 never became dizzy any more. That tired, wornout feeling left me, I felt good and full of energy all the time -and my work was actually a pleasure '. U me. As 1 said before this was two years ago when Tanlac rid me of my troubles, and I am still enjoying the best of health. I think Tanlac is the most wonderful medicine on. earth, and I am always glad of the oppor tunity to recommend it." Tanlac Is sold in Portland by the Owl Drug Store. Adv. I son's marine traditions had warned "Then we train marines in publicity. The newspapers are good to us and we try. to help them out in return. Why 100 army officers the other day wanted to go through our publicity training school f.o that the regular army could imbibe some of our ideas. But modesty, polrffeness and efficiency are the keynota of the marines." General la Modest. The general was modest enough, but the enlisted marines in attend ance could almost be heard to say: "What on earth does that chap want to bother the general when he is ready to go on the highway?" General Barnett paid a. tribute to the marines from the northwest. He said . the marines were recruiting1 to their new strength of 27,000. General Barnett has a jolly kind of laugh, a happy kind of smile. He does not brag, but he assumes that the fame of the marines is so well recog nized that it really is not possible to paint the lily, as it were. He believes in the marines He is a marine. General Barnett left Portland last night for Seattle. He Is accompanied by Brigadier-General Charles L. Mc Cawley, the quartermaster of the ma rine corps'. Lieutenant Murray, his aide; Mrs. Barnett and Miss Lucia Chase of Waterbury, Conn. Mrs. Barnett was formerly Mrs. Basil Gordon, one of the far-famed beautiful women of Baltimore, and is now a leader in Washington society.

ULTIMATUM IS DELIVERED Caterers Insist Upon Demand for Sew Wage Schedule Being Withdrawn Promptly. Developments of the restaurant situation yesterday were: Under no circumstances will the cooks of Portland violate their afjree- ment and strike. Their - contract la their bond. This was the statement of C. T. Frederick, secretary of the cooks' and assistants' union. An ultimatum was formally de livered to union headquarters by F. W. Beach, secretary of the caterers' association, that the caterers at pres ent operating under union conditions were willing so to continue; but that the waere schedule must be with drawn not later than noon Friday, and that if it is not withdrawn by that date the union houses will oper ate under open shop conditions. 'And the answer must be yes or no; we cannot arbitrate , the question, said Mr. Beach to the union leaders. Unions to Frame Answer. Union leaders will meet today to consider their answer. 1 A record attendance of members of the caterers' association met at the Chamber of Commerce and the entire wage schedule was considered. Mem bers of the association declared that they could not possibly pay the in creased wage demands and Mr. Beach was instructed to call upon the unions and deliver the ultimatum. Prior to that time Mr. Frederick, Harley Johnson, representing the international union, and R. R. Hatch, chairman of the joint board of the unions involved, had declared they had up to that time received no an swer from the caterers or their association. Shortly after the union meeting had disbanded, Mr. Beach called at union headquarters. "I want to say to you," said Mr. Frederick, "that the cooks' union Is composed of American citizens; we own homes and property. We are on record with a contract that de clares there shall be no stoppage of work pending arbitration, and the cooks' union does not and will not strike while Its present contract is in force. This contract does not ex pire until June 1, 1921." Contract Still In Effect. Mr. Frederick read to a news paperman the clause in the contract in effect between the union house restaurateurs, comprising the larger number of restaurants, and the union, which says! This agreement shall be in full fores and effect from June 1, 1919, and ques tions arising between the unions and th proprietors of the undersigned, regarding wage scales for the second year from date hereof, shall be subject to arbitration; and be It further agreed that all ques tions arising that are not in conflict with the constitution snd laws of the Motel and Restaurant Employes' International al liance and Bartenders' International etague of America, shall be settled by arbitration, provided same cannot be settled by the parties interested, and In no case shall there be a stoppage of work pending such arbitration. "'The last thing in the world we would do," said Mr. Frederick, "would be to injure Portland and the Shrine convention. The matter was taken up at this time because June 1 marks the end of the first year of the contract, and we feel that we were simply opening negotiations which would lead to a consideration of the entire question. We are will ing to submit the entire matter to arbitration and consider that under the terms of the contracts the cater ers will feel the same way about it. "But please remember, we don't break contracts." Marine Xoies.
