TTTO STJXPAT OREGOXTAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 17, 1915. FRANCE CONTINUES TO PILE UP GOLD English Budget Meanwhile Re stores Sympathy and Con fidence of Allies. ECONOMY IS PRACTICED Early Waste Is Eliminated, as Na tions Settle Down to Realities of Long War System of Saving Is Organized. BT CAROLTN WILSON. fCopyrisht by the Chicago Tribune. Pub lished by arraugemenL) PARI3, Sept. 22. The gold continues to pour into the coffers or the Manque de France. It now amounts to over 800,000.000 francs, and this addition to the national reserve makes a fnnd of Just about $1,000,000,000 in gold held by the government. But when one reads the figures of statistically Inclined gentlemen who compute to minutes and seconds the cost of the war one realizes that there Is need for every sou. I sometimes won der how the little countries, not direct ly concerned with the war, such as Holland and Switzerland, stand the in creased expense, and if they couldn't make up their debt by extra taxation, rather like England's, on those manu facturers and merchants who are so largely profiting by the war. In an address of President Motta, of Switzerland, the other day, he an nounced that up to the first of Septem ber the cost of mobilization alone had been 240.000,000 francs. "If the war continues another ten months." he said, the expenses will reach 400.000,000 francs. At the end of three years Switzerland will have a deficit which will necessitate beside a war tax and augmentation of postal and telephone taxes the creation of -new finincial re sources, such as the monopoly of to bacco." The new English budget seems to have Induced a general crisis of econ omy. The French papers are enthusi astic in their praise of the McKenna treatment of the question, and they in their turn demand a similar taxation of income and reduction of the profits of war manufacturers. From the tone of the newsDaoers. as well as from the remarks of personal friends. I thlnkj that this explanation of the jsngn.sn as to the amount of money spent at home and furnished by them to the allies, and their inflexible resolve to give to the last penny, has done more than anything since the beginning of this lack of perfect understanding between the two nations to restore sympathy and conflder.ee. Warships Economize In Salutes. A little economy that lias just been decided on by the heads of the allied navies is the cessation of salutes given by warships to the land or ships of any of the allied powers. The various min isters of the marine think that there is a much better use for the powder ex pended in these barren salvos. Neutrals will still receive a salute if it happens to be convenient and does not interfere In any way with the operations of war. Another economy Is the return and sale of wounded autobuses. Last year, when the streets were cleared in three hours of the thousands of husky, noisy buses which plied every corner of Paris, no one ever thought to see them come limping home, scarred and marked and shot through. Last week they were amassed at Noisy le Sec, a big Junction for military merchandise, nnd were slowly moved into Paris. Those that could run were towing their crippled companions. It was at first thought wiser to leave these patched and repatched buses lying by the roadsldo in the northern countries, but an economical mind de cided that many of them unfit for service on the rough roads could still be mendd enoujrh to serve in small towns. So next Saturday 766 of them will go on sale at the auction rooms at a min'mum prio of $40 apiece. Mechanics! Belncr Reorganised. Autobuses aren't the only things com ing back from the front. There has been a complete organization of th lists of men in trades who are serving, at the front and also a list of the pro fessions of men now serving in fac tories and state employment. In some cases the results of the investigation have been amusing. For instance. on list of 25 names which recently came into the bands of M. Albert Thomas, head of munitions, in connection with employes of a certain factory in the pouth. contained four lawyers, one as sistant Judse. a Mayor of La Vendee, a retired prefect, a city clerk, a con troller of taxes, an examiner of weights and measures, seven landlords, some other professions vaguely defined, and exactly two men of the real mechanical profession. With the rectification of this state of things and with the mechanicians and engineers who are being recalled from the trenches are also coming pharma cists to replace the volunteers In this section of the Red Cross. A British ordnance worker who conies flown to Paris occasionally to dispose by contract of some of the useless Junk t the front gave me some interesting details on the new economy in the army. Formerly there was. so much criticism about waste with the British, you heard so many talcs of fur coats thrown away, whole uniforms tore off and left to be picked un, by peasants, saddles tossed to one side of the road, that I was glad to hear of the organ lied system of saving. Nothing Goes to Waste. This man tells me that there is abso lutely nothing that goes to waste. Everything is sorted into different parts In various sheds." he said, "and the smallest pile and the smallest shed Is that which contains the really use less rubbish. One shed has shoes plies and piles of them half .worn, wholly worn, soleless. perhaps. They are matched ns to pairs, repatched. hob nails put in them, painted with castor oil. and are as good as new. "Or In another place you see a stack of sacks piled np to the ceiling, full of buttons which have come off the really wornout uniforms. These are going back to the factories at home. But no uniform is thrown away until it Is In rags. It can 1: cleaned, washed and disinfected at least five times, and then mended by the women we have espe cially for it Even when quite done for that khaki Isn't thrown away. After It Is cleaned. If It is quite in rags, we send it home and it fetches $150 a ton. "Our oil cans, for instance, have holes pounded in them and we use them as brasiers in the trenches during the Winter and Jolly warm they are. too. We are. now getting peasants to darn up old horse rugs, and they are as good as new under those patient fingers. Every little piece of leather Is saved: all rings and tips of iron. Old cartridge cases are melted down for use. O. it's a system up there, and they can't accuse us of waste now." Whitman Class K loot ion Held. WHITMAN COLLEGE. Walla Walla, Wash.. Oct. 16 t Special.)

CONQUEREOBELGIAN STILL RETAINS WIT Will Irwin Tells Incidents Such as Are Occurring Every Day in Country. JAIL SENTENCE PENALTY German Fails to Understand Real Humor, Says Author Butcher "ruts One Over" on Kaiser's Officer Who Taunts Him. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Oct 16. That the Belgian re tains his sense of humor, notwithstand ing his country has fallen into Ger man hands, was established amply by Will Irwin, the war correspondent, in a talk hemade at Washington. He maintains that the Belgian, when it comes to wit and humor, can make rings around his German conquerer, f?d. on,y reco"rse of tire German is 16 throw the Belgian in Jail. "Some weeks after the battle of the Marne, said Mr. Irwin, "when the Ger mans were in control of a large part of Belgium, a group of German officers were standing in front of headquar ters. They saw coming towards them, m the middle of the street, a flock of Belgian street gamins, playing soldier. Each boy had a wooden gun or a wooden sword, and as they came near, the offjeers observed that each make believe soldier wore an old derby, and protruding through the top of each f?y was a carrot, in imitation of the spike on the German helmets. The boys marched up. four abreast, doing the goose-step, and halted in front of the officers. No word was spoken, but when the commander saw the eyes of the officers were on his command he turned to them, and with extended sword, shouted: 'Attention. Shoulder arms. On to Paris!' Instantly the com pany marched backward." Another Incident Typical. Mr. Irwin also" related an incident that orrnrpeil In . i ,, - " i iuc enmiier Belgian towns, immediately after its . i, j l 1 1 u uerm&ns. i ne Burgo master was sitting in his office, await- iner riAvelnnm.4 a . . . " " ....... t t ... hiicq In siaiKea a German officer, arrayed In all his Z vi '. minus none or tne dignity befitting a representative of the con querors.. Without a word he strode over to the Burgomaster's desk, threw back his cape, reached to his holster and grabbed his automatic revolver and slammed it down on the Burgomaster's desk the emblem of his authority. The Burgomaster, a little fellow, was no more prolix than his German visitor. Promptly rising to the full dignity of his five feet two, he rompously threw back his coat, reached for his vest pocket, and. mocking the gestures of the German officer, slammed down on his desk his fountain pen. That poor Burgomaster was dumped into Jail for punishment. In Brussels, some time after the Ger man occupation, a German officer went Into a butcher shop and thought to chide the native proprietor. "Well, my friend," said he. "how do you like being a German?" Batcher Takes Offense. ,!'r.an? n2' a German," haughtily re plied the butcher. w01V .bU. yOU are'" said the officer. We intend to make you all Germans." I am not a German and cannot be made one," held out the Belgian. "Well you'll come around to it in time, answered the German, "and ..11 you set used to Jt you'll like it " Oh. very well." assented the butcher, a. twinkle in his eye. "Let's suppose I am a German and we're Germans to V Sr.- NoW' 8Peakln friend to friend. Mr. Officer, that was a hell of a licking we got off the Falkland Islands, wasn't Cobb Forgets "Surrender." The fa'ious experience of Will Irwin Irvin Ccbb. Arno Doscr and Joe Pat terson, who "went to war in a taxi cab, has been told by all the par ticipants many times, and no story so much delights their hearers. There was one incident in that memorable af fair, however, that Irvin Cobb does not relate. It will be recalled that the four correspondents, finding them selves surrounded by Germans on every hand, concluded it was the part of wis dom to surrender, but they passed an entire afternoon in a fruitless effort to find the proper officer to whom they could surrender. Finally, at night, as they were conferring on a street corner they observed a party of German offi cers entering a restaurant. They con cluded they would surrender to them as they appeared to be the right sort of fellows. They explained their status and their desire to surrender and place them selves at the mercy of the German au thorities. Finally the officer inquired how they got there. "In a taxicab " re plied Irwin. "In a taxicab?" questioned the unbelieving officer. "How could you get to the front in a taxicab'" They then related their experiences of the never-to-be-forgotten ride, and the officer roared with laughter at their experiences. "Where is your taxicab now?" asked the officer, when the merriment had died down. Just then Cobb, who had taken little part in the conversation, broke in say ing: "It's out there on the hill eating its head off."

SEATTLE LAWYER TAKEN GEORGE P. ItOSSM AV ARRESTED ON SERIOUS CHARGE. ' Man, Caught on Pna-et Stand, Vsder Indictment Here. Caarctd With Obtaining; Money Falsely. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 16. (Special.) George P. Rossman. a. prominent Se attle lawyer, was arrested here today charged with being involved with a questionable Canadian land company. George P. Rossman, under arrest in Seattle for alleged fraud In connection with Canadian land locating, has an indictment pending against him in Portland in which he is charged with obtaining money by false pretenses. When this was returned, however, he was in Washington, and Governor Lister refused to order his extradi tion, Rossman first came to the attention of District Attorney Evans when sev eral persons to whom he had sold half interests in land - locating offices which failed to materialize, complained that they had been bilked. Tho evi dence against him In this connection, though, was not such that he could be prosecuted successfully, as his manip ulations had been handled cleverly. Later the District Attorney's office got him on a bad check charge. The amount waa small and he agreed to settle, saying he had a Job in Wiscon sin waiting for him and would go to that state. Instead of doing this, how ever, he sold some furniture from an office which he had in Portland and was Indicted, as a result, on a charge of obtaining money by false pretenses, the contention of the state being that the furniture did not belong to him. Rossman, according to Deputy Dis trict Attorney Collier, sjold half shares In a string of land-locating offices which were to be established in all the important towns of the Willamette Valley. His method was to guarantee monthly salaries to the purchasers. EXTENSION WORK IS BIG STATE rrXIVERSIT OFFERS NEW COURSES I.V BUSINESS.
