the Lomza region.
In spite of the bolshevik successes,
military experts of the Anglo-French
mission in Poland were reported op
timistic, becaube of the stiffening in
the resistance of the Polish northern
army.
The expert's chief difficulty was
the position of the Polish fourth army,

leading from one front to the other,
the bridge caught fire. The three
remaining cars were delayed, but suc

MARK COXVEXIIOX END.
Veterans Again Advance on 'Enemy
Trenches,' Using Spectacular
Devices in 'Fighting.'
SEASIDE, Or., Aug. 1. (Special.)
Hundreds of legionnaires gathered at
Seaside today for the concluding en
tertainment features of the second
annual convention, wnich closed its
business session in Astoria last nighr.
The most elaborate and spectacular
fireworks display ever held here was
the Battle of the Argonne, in which
60 world-war veterans of Clatsop
post in Astoria participated. About
2500 , persons witnessed the spectac
ular .exhibition, which was directed
by Louis J. Witt of Elmar J. Noble
post of Seattle, a war veteran, who
was wounded in the Argonne, and
Harry J. Katey of Clatsop post.
Through the dense unaergrowtn oi
Cartwright Dark the veterans ad-1
vanced on enemy trences, "mopping
up" as they went and using all varie
ties of offensive weapons, including
machine guns, grenades, rifles and
trench mortars. Various lights flared
and star shells revealed the battle
field in their peculiar white glare.
Even a tank participated, a tank
which in everyday life was a farm
tractor.
A concert by the Fifth Oregon band
and daylight fireworks preceded the
battle scene. It .was followed by fire
works including rockets, wheels,
bombs and elaborate set pieces em
bodying the American Legion em
blem, the bombardment of Zeebrugge
Mole and the allied flags. t
The ex-service men left Astoria at
9 o'clock this morning on their special
train for Seaside. At noon they had
a clam chowder feast given by the
residents of Seaside under the direc
tion of the Breakwater association
and the Women's club. E. N. Hurd,
mayor of Seaside, was in charge of
the arrangements and was assisted by
C. M. Evans and S. Snyder.
Dedication of a tablet of bronze,
bearing the names of 45 Seaside vet
erans who died in the world war. was
held in the morning in front of the
city hall. The tablet is on a pillar of
the hall.
A baseball game was played in the
afternoon between the Astoria Cen
tennials and Portland Cendors. The
special train left for Portland at 11
o'clock tonight.
creased freight rates would lead no
where if the boost simply resulted in
the curtailment of shipments.
"As far as lumber shipments are
concerned the commission expects the
carriers to fix the rates on eastern
shipments so as not to disturb the
equilibrium of the traffic. The per
centage of increase granted on rates
to eastern points is not arbitrary. In
my opinion adjustment will follow im
mediately after the increase is in ef
fect and the most equitable differen
tial will be established."
As far as export shipments from
the east via Portland are concerned
the carriers will see to it that this
trade is not diverted to water routes,
in the opinion of Mr. Teal. While ex
isting differentials on export ship
ments may not be retained in the
same ratio, he said, an equitable ar
rangement probably will be reached
immediately whereby this traffic will
not suffer.

RISE HELD T
PORTLAND SHIPPERS TAKE
OPTIMISTIC VIEWPOINT.
Freight Rate Increase Not Neces
sarily or Bad Effect, Say
Transportation Men.
Portland shippers and transport
tion men are speculating, as to the
probable effect of the billion and
half dollar increase .in freight rates
recently granted to the railroads by
the interstate commerce commission.
While information regarding the ap
portionment of the increase is not yet
complete, the general attitude is ap
parently one of optimism.
J. N. Teal, who appeared before the
interstate commerce commission at its
hearing at Washington as attorney
for the Portland Traffic and Trans
portation association and the West
Coast Lumbermen's association, be
lieves that the proposed increase,
while it would necessarily constitute
a disturbing element in shipping prob
lems at first, would probably be as
similated 'very shortly without seri
ous effects to shipping in general and
to lumber shipments in particular.
In my opinion the present inirease
ia more or less of an emergency
measure granted to afford immediate
relief to the carriers." said Mr. Teal.
It is intended. I believe, that the pres
ent order will be supplemented with
further orders from the commission
which will tend to facilitate the ap
plication of the increase. The rail
roads themselves will probably use
every effort to equalize the burden so
that the Increase will affect shipments
as little as possible.
"Naturally, the commission did not
Intend that the Increase should Inter

are equally as anxious to meet the
situation from the same angle, since
the welfare of the railroads and of the
producers go hand In hand. The in-

Veteran Railway Treasurer Dies.
ST. PAUL. Minn.. Aug. 1. Charles
A. Clark, treasurer of the Northern
Pacific railroad since 1897. died of
pneumonia today at a hospital where
he had undergone an operation for

to the Northern Pacific In 1S82 he
had been connected with the Denver
& Rio Grande.
Tremendous possibilities exist for
Pacific coast trade expansion into the
British Malay peninsula, an expan
sion which Portland and Oregon
manufacturers can participate in if
they will, according to George L.
Logan, of the American consulate
general at Singapore.
Mr. Logan, who has been stationed
for the last two years as consul at
Penang. Straits settlements, arrived
ir Portland yesterday and is stop
ping at the Multnomah hotel. He will
speak today before the members
forum of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce and will also establish
his exhibit in the bureau of foreign
commerce in the Oregon building.
This exhibit will be displayed for
several days, with Mr. Logan in at
tendance to issue data to business
men who are interested in trade re
lations with the Malay peninsula.
Mack Travel Done In Far Bait.
Mr. Logan has had 12 years' ex
perience in the far east, has traveled
extensively in those countries, and
has a wide knowledge of their trade
possibilities, products, requirements
and customs. His articles on foreign
trade problems in the orient have
been widely published in the United
States and republished Dy the foreign
press.
Although Mr. Logan's home is just
United States, at present his family
resides in Berkeley, Cal., where he
will go within a few days.
On his way home on leave. Mr.
Logan visited Indo-China, the Philip
pines. China and Japan. He has
brought with him a considerable ex
hibit of the products of the Malay
peninsula and a large amount of data
that should be useful to Portland
merchants and manufacturers inter
ested in that trade territory, several
of whom have been in correspondence
with his consulate.
Products Are Discussed-
The Malay peninsula, which looks
ery small on our school maps," said
Mr. Logan, "Is the world's chief
source of supply for rubber and tin
and a large producer of copra, tapi
oca, patchouli, gums, pepper and
spices. The most important ports are
Singapore and Penang. where the
United States government maintains
onsulates, but Kuala Lumpur ana
poh are important and up-to-date
commercial cities.
British and Chinese commercial in
terests predominate, although there
has been recently a considerable in
crease in American investments and
enterprises. More than 50 American
concerns have branches or offices in
Singapore.
'A large part of the tin and rubber
is exported to the United States and
entered at Pacific ports for shipment
to the east coast, which suggests the
thought that manufacturers requiring
uch products ought to find the Pa
cific coast a suitable location for their
factories, in view of your wonderful
climate and other natural advantages
and the fact that a large proportion
of their finished products goes to ori
ental markets.
Factory Plana Are Afoot.
"It is encouraging to know that
plans are developing and being car
ried out for the establishment of
such factories, which will have far-
reaching effects in increasing the
importance of our western ports and
their respective territories. We have
been too long a one-sided country,
regardless of the fact that whatever
enhances the prosperity of one sec
tion benefits all.
I was glad to read that local en
terprise has developed plans for the
establishment of a large vegetable oil
mill at Linnton. Although great
quantities of copra are produced on
the Malay peninsula, the vegetable
oil industry is in its infancy there
and the copra is exported almost en-
entirely to European markets.
Speaking of the market for Ameri
can goods in his district, Mr. Logan
said: "Practically all foodstuffs are
imported, mainly from the United
States and Australia. Canned fruits,
fish, vegetables and milk are bought
principally in the American market
and Pacific coast products in those
lines have a large sale there. Some
business is beginning to develop
Oregon pine lumber, and there ought
to be a demand for portable houses,
railway ties and other timbers if they
can be made immune to the ravages
of white ants. A large area of jungle
land is being brought under rubber
cultivation, and a considerable mar
ket has sprung up since the war re
strictions on such development were
removed for tractors, portable saw
mill outfits, drag saws, stump pullers
and other equipment suitable to such
work.
Many Autoa Are American.
"There are more than 3000 miles
of first-class highway on the penin
sula and approximately 12,000 motor
cars, mostly American, are in use.
The agent for a certain American
car told me that he is more than
2000 cars behind on his deliveries.
Motor trucks are coming into gen
eral use and with motor buses and
jitneys are competing with the rail
ways for freight and passenger traf
fic There is a large demand for
American cotton goods and a limited
call for woolens. Construction work
of all kinds, private and govern
mental, was practically suspended
during the war but is now being re
sumed vigorously, and there is a
good demand for building materials
of all kinds. Several estates have
light railway service for handling
their products and it is probable that
business can be- developed in that
line.
"The number of cargo-carrying ves
sels flying the American flag has
greatly increased in those waters
and they are welcome visitors at
many ports. There is till a lack of
sufficient passenger-carrying vessels
and in many instances merchants who
would have come to the United States
via the Pacific on business missions
have been compelled to go to or
through Europe instead.
Shipping; Increase la Laaded.
"1 was glad to read recently that
several passenger-carrying vessels of
the shipping board fleet will be
placed in those waters in . the near
future, sailing from Pacific ports.
"Were I competent to do . so, it
would not he appropriate for me to
discuss questions of political policy,
especially at this time, but as Amer
icans we are all Interested in: Ex

Where Troops May Be Housed;
. 8 0,00 Soldiers in Isle.
DUBLIN. July 31. Fears that the
Irish situation majr burst into a gen
eral conflagration at any moment
are expressed here. There is virtu
ally no civil law south of the Boyne
river except that administerft by re
publican courts, but it is pointed out
that each day finds the balance be
tween military and revolutionary
rule more equal.
It is estimated there are between
60.000 and 80,000 British soldiers in
Ireland and they are being rein
forced daily. As a result there are
more frequent and more stubborn
battles between troops and repub
lican volunteers, who for a time had
things much their own way. There
have also been more arrests for car
rying arms and seditious literature.
Reprisals by policemen and soldiers
on villages suspected of harboring
men responsible for attacks against
the armed forces are expected here.
In the meantime the Sinn Feiners
have virtually cleared the country
of barracks. They are now turning
their attention to country houses
where military forces might be
housed. '

POPE RAPS COMMUNISM
Evil Conditions in World Are De
plored in Letter.
ROME. July 31. Evil conditions
confronting the world are outlined
in a letter issued to the church by
Pope Benedict today. The letter's
purpose is to proclaim the fifteenth
anniversary of the decree by which
St. Joseph was named patron of the
universal church and in it the pontiff
urges the Catholic world to celebrate
for a whole year from December.
"When the end of the war came,"
says the letter, "the minds of men
were exasperated by the length and
bitterness of the conflict and aggra
vated by famine on one side and ac
cumulated riches in the hands of a
few on the other. The' war brought
about two evils diminution of con
jugal fidelity and dimunition of re
spect for constituted authority. Li
centious habits followed, even among
young women, and there arose the
fatal doctrine of communism with
the absolute destruction of dutiful
relations between nations and be
tween fathers and children. Terrible
consequences have already been experienced."
