TIIE MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, APRIL. 7, 1922 2L SHIPS TO OPERATE WHENEVER IT PAYS amashita Kisen Kaisha's Policy Is Announced. VIAY BOOKINGS LACKING 'uture Charters to Be Made Only When Service Is Profitable, Sajs Portland Manager. There probably will not be a Jxteamer assigned at Portland for May oading in the Yamashita Kisen gKaisha service, due to conditions re- BUlting from the rate war on the Pa fcific. Future bookings will be made Innly at rates that will justify opcrat ng vessels, according to an announce ment yesterday Dy G. R. Theiring, Portland manager for A. M. Gillespie, Inc.. agents for the fleet. The newly established "K" line, for which Suzuki & Co. are agents, prob- pbly will not have a steamer in June from Portland, depending on whether or not there is an improvement in the situation, it was said. The California Pacific Steamship fompany will continue to operate its fleet, the schedule calling for at least monthly service, said K. D. Daw son, general manager, as plans were made immediately after the rate war was precipitated to reduce the fleet in keeping with the volume of busi ness offered at acceptable rates. In the event of any material improve ment tonnage held here by the ship- ing board can be returned to com mission on short notice. Profit Declared Necessary. "It is Impossible to operate a line of steamers unless at laast a little money is returned for the effort," said Mr. Theiring. "We are ready to serve shippers at rates that will Justify the service and we will con tinue our connections,, but as far as May is concerned, we may not have a ship unless there is a marked change in rates." The Kureha Maru and Belgium JLaru, both working lumber in the river, will be dispatched the latter part of next week in the Yamashita service and the latter part of April the Japanese steamer Yoshida Maru No. 1, which recently completed a voyage from Vancouver, B. C, to Yokohama, will be along. No addi tional vessels have been reported for later loading. Improvement Is Expected. Of course there is no question In the minds of steamship operators but that the situation will assume a more encouraging aspect before long, when all lines will return to their normal schedules. Some operators are In-1 clined to the view that a change may follow soon after Tuesdays session here of the trans-Pacific steamship operators. The meeting is expected to have stimulating effect, though it is not regarded probable that an ironclad conference will be formed. The ironing out of some features of the prevailing situation, however, are looked for. When notes are compared and the losses in service and returns are made apparent, It is hoped a basis will be reached for the lines getting together." ADMIRAL- LIXE HEAD HERE A. F. Haines Passes Through City on AVay to Seattle. A. F. Haines, general manager of the Admiral line, passed through the city late Wednesday night on his way irom California cities to Seattle. He was at San Francisco when the most recent addition to the Puget sound California service, the steamer Ruth Alexander, re-ched there on her maiden voyage from Seattle. A deal the Admiral line has nego tiated at San Francisco which is in teresting Portlanders is the ac quisition of four motorships from the American International Paint company, the Daylite, Dawnlite, Sun lite and Moonlite. The vessels were originally turned out at Toledo, O., for the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and were all completed in 1916. The American . International Paint company took the vessels over a few months ago. The trade pro posed for them has not been an nounced. The dimensions of each are 3J ii . ieet oeam and 21.2 feet depth of hod. They are of steel. VESSELS' PICTURES WANTED Bureau of Lighthouses Asks for Set of Photographs. To complete a photographic gallery of light vessels in service on the coast of the United States, the bureau of lighthouses has suggested to Robert Warrack, superintendent of the 17th district, that he obtain views of the three vessels on duty off the Oregon and Washington coasts. The idea was advanced as well that some agile newspaper camera-nan might wish to ride the hurricane deck of a tender for a trip to the Columbia river light vessel and snap the ship. During the last few years movie cameramen have "shot" the ship when on the way to Tillamook rock, and pictures have been taken of other features off the entrance, including the light vessel, but Mr. Warrack has none in his collection that he feels would fill the bill, especially as the bureau has asked for pictures with action.

The viewing Is being given by the legion in answer to numerous criti cisms from various sources to the ef fect that the film is unfair to the Germans and that the war scerec de picted are too terribly realistic. The post contends that nothing is shown in the manner of treatment of women and children by the Germans which did not actually occur many times in the world war, and further that the war pictures are gruesome at times only in being true to life. The photo drama is a startling indictment of war and has won great honors wher ever shown for artistry of treatment and gripping interest. War scenes were made in France by soldiers who fought for the re public in. the great war and are said to be more realistic than in "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." This is the first time that "I Ac cuse" has ever been shown in Port land. Abel Gance, French poet and dramatist. Is the author and producer of this photoplay, which he terms his masterpiece.

WHICH OPEXS AT THE TOMORROW. STAR that It disarms criticism. Its appeal human and spiritual at the same time, is capable of moving the most indif ferent audiences. The power of this work lies in its truth. When the scars of the war have disappeared a little, this film will stand, not only from the point of view of literature and dra matic poetry, but even as a great his torical work." " 'I Accuse Is a marvelous produc tion," declares still another critic. "Mr. Gance is a poet, a mystic, and the masterly use he has made of the cin ema allied .to the great art of his actors have made a superb film which, I firmly Delieve, will be considered the greatest production of the times. When the public will have gained a little in perspective the country will speak of nothing else." Screen Gossip.

Captain's First Work on Water' front Here Recalled as Aboard Dredge Chinook. Captain Jack Speier, harbormaste rounds out 15 vears service w-ith th city today as chief of the waterfron department. He came to the river 1 1903 aboard the government dredge Chinook and remained with the craft until 1904, when he was assigned take charge of a federal river patro service, which continued until he was appointed harbormaster. Previous to that time the berth harbormaster represented the entire organization, but on assuming charge Captain Speier began an organlza tion that grew to include a squad o patrolmen as well as launchmen. Th policing of the waterfront expanded until it took in many functions hav lng to do with the coming of ships, even to supplying them with fres water. Last year to Captain Speie were assigned additional duties at the four municipal terminals of th commission of public docks. In look ing back over the period, from years ago when he was the sol figure in the service, to the force today and the duties exacted, he say the most marked Impression is no the responsibilities, but the phenom enal strides Portland has made in her water-borne commerce. SHIPPING IS "LOOKING UP Inquiry on European and Inter' Coastal Business Unusual. It may have been the balmy wea ther or the conviction that at last the portal of spring had opened that impressed steamship operators that conditions were "looking up" yester day, but whatever the cause it was said there was more inquiry during the day on European and intercoastal business, with an apparent reawak ening in trans-Pacific prospects. As to European conditions it was said spot business on cereals would be negotiated on above 40 shillings, with late April or early May offer ings at 37s 6d, and late May book ings at about 35 shillings. In the coast-to-coast sphere the prospect of wool and other seasonable shipments getting under way shortly was dis cussed, while mora lumber and com modities now on the., move were booked.
