B. T. Allen, forester of the Western Forestry & -Conservation Association, has evolved a scheme for mobilization of woodsmen of America for war service. Foresters, rangers, patrolmen and the like constitute a body of men with' pe culiar qualifications for service along special lines. It is to the country's in terest that such qualifications be made available in the most effective manner, not dissipated and lost through random and unsystematic enlistment In the wron, arms of the military establish ment. It is both the privilege and the duty of everyone in position to do so to help, if possible, in making an oppor tunity for the very best utilization of their training and experience, and to cripple as little as possible the pro ducers of the raw material for ships. Woodsmen Well Fitted. The nature of their work places the majority of forest organization men ahead of the ordinary civilian in abil ity to care for themselves under ad verse circumstances; to meet condi tions with initiative; to handle men, horses and supplies, and in other ways to give a good account of themselves under war conditions with the mini mum of officering and care such as must be given ordinary recruits. They also know much of the organization and discipline. In addition to these fundamentals most of them have spe cial competence, if not in the accepted work of the soldier, in work no less necessary in military operations, such as mapping and reconnoissance, trail, bridge and telephone building, signal ing, scouting, packing, teaming, auto driving, use of firearms, feeding and transporting men, etc Many also have military experience. With an under-manned army, the sev eral departments and details may eas ily find difficulty in adjusting their re cruiting systematically to the best ad vantage. Men urgently needed by one arm may flock to another less in need. This should be avoided particularly in the case of specially trained men such as woodsmen and the like. Where in one department of defense they might be no more useful than the ordinary city recruit, in another they might be of high immediate value, perhaps" even as officers In some cases. Again it is conceivable that under certain circumstances forest organiza tion men can be most useful where they are, not only in fire prevention, but In guarding unugus, rail unu miegruiju lines and the like, or perhaps for detail or similar work elsewhere without en rollment in any established military arm. Organization Is Important. The Western Forestry and Conserva tion Association feels that while not being desirous either of crippling their protective work or that of the pro ducing industry or of bringing pressure on their men, they should at least af ford those who may wish to volunteer a. means of doing so to best advantage. They may also afford means of reach ing other men who would be interested. Come sort of forest unit will be organ ized and made available to the War Department in a systematic manner. Managing heads of organizations are advised to get in touch with their men as early as possible to learn of those who may be likely to enlist, and clas sify these according to any special qualifications they possess. Each or ganization Bhould know in advance if any of its men contemplate leaving. It might result in any one of the follow ing plans:.

ELECTION COST DOUBLES OMISSION OF WORD "SPECIAL" FROM ,UW IS EIPBXSIVE. Citixens of Portland and Multnomah County Face Added Tax Borden of S10.00O to fSO.OOO. , Unless some means can be devised to avert it, the election officials at the city and state election June 4 will re ceive double pay and the Joint election will cost about $10,000 more than it would ordinarily. Unless County Com missloners and District Attorney Evans can devise means of solving the prob lem, it now looks as if officials will Set double pay if they demand it Omission of the word "special" from the Joint election bill passed by the last Legislature causes the trouble. While the bill was aimed to cover all elections, it fails to mention special elections and therefore the June election, being a special election so far as the state is concerned, it is believed the election officials will have to be paid by both the city and the county. even though they are the same in both elections and the polling places are the same. Within the city are 344 precincts, each with ten election officials, five on the day board and five on the night hoard, or. a total or 3440 officials in all. Each receives $3 a day. Double pay. therefore, would increase the cost of the election to the citizens of Mult nomah County more than $10,000, and should the counting of ballots extend beyond the night following the elec lioj the cost would be increased by as many thousand dollars more.

MYR1GK IS PAROLED Judge Bingham Sentences, Then Frees Assailant. LAWYERS' FEES PAID, TOO BIr. Evans Says nights of Adele Ella, Victim of Unsuccessful As sault, Get First Considera tion in Recommendation. With his face haggard and pal from the mental strain which he has under gone for many days. Edward J. Myrlck yesterday stood with bowed head while Circuit Judge Bingham imposed the statutory sentence of from one to ten years in the penitentiary for his crimi nal attack on Adele Ella, his former cashier, on the night of January 14 last. Myrlck was immediately paroled to L. Leonard Krause, clerk in Depart j ment No. 4 of the Circuit Court, with instructions to report to him monthly. Mr. Myrlck loses his citizenship, which can be restored only by a pardon. Thus closed the final chapter of an unfortunate Incident in the lives of these two young people. Myrlck imme diately left the courtroom with his at torneys. Miss Ella was not present when sentence waa pronounced. Her brother, J. H. Ella, of Hammond. Or., was in attendance, and it was stated that the young woman would be taken back to Hammond by her hrerner. It was stated yesterday that Myrlck not only paid Miss Ella $3200 by way of reparation, but that he was also compelled to pay her attorneys. J. H. Mlddleton and Malcolm Clark, the sura of $800 for a release from a $40,000 damage suit which they had prepared to file In behalf of the young woman. District Attorney Evans consented that Myrlck should be paroled only after a thorough investigation of the affair showed that his attack upon the young woman was not successful and that she had suffered more from fright than from any other cause. His consent to this outcome of the case came at the request of the girl and her family and of other officials Interested in the case. "I think It Is due this young woman to say that while there was a struggle there for an hour or more, the young woman's physical condition now Is due solely to the effects of this struggle," said Mr. Evans. "In view of his making a settlement for her welfare I have felt that the rights of her physical condition and her Individual rights in this particular case might be considered In preference to the rights of the state and the Dublio. "This office has Deen loatn in any kind of a criminal case to consider money settlement. It Is a dangerous practice, but this young woman has been damaged and is entitled to re dress, but in view of the fact that a plea of guilty was entered to tne charge In the indictment and of the further tender of this money settle ment, I recommended that Myrlck be paroled."
