SOUTH GREATLY FAVORED
Senator Chamberlain Is Military Af
fairs Chairman and Has Influ
ence but No Army Camp Is
Mentioned for Oregon.
OREGONIAX NETS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, June 30. Although Oregon has
met promptly .and generously every
demand made upon her by the Federal
Government sine the declaration of
war. scant recognition has been ex
tended the state thus far. One of the
first states to mobilize its militia, one
of the first to contribute its quota and
more to the regular Army; one ofthe
most generous in over-subscribing to
the liberty loan and Red Cross fund
and in each and every instance ex
ceeding what was asked, Oregon has
had no recognition whatsoever from
the Federal Government in those mat
ters where the Government had some
thing to parcel out.
The records at Washington show
that when there is something to be
given out by the Government, the big
share goes to the South; other official
records show that when the vGovern
me.it, has called for assistance, the
SSouth has been not only slow, but nig
gardly in its response.
Oregon's only share in war business
has been the contracts awarded Ore
gon shipyards for steamers to be built
for the shipping board and the awards
to date have not begun to touch the
capacity of Oregon yards.
Kffort Made for Camp.
One of the first things done by the
Government after the declaration of
war was to make provision for camps
for training the men of the Army and
the National Guard. For this purpose
?- camps were authorized. Not one
of them went to Oregon, yet Senator
Chamberlain is chairman of the mil
itary affairs committee and in a posi
tion to wield great influence with the
"War Department. Washington at first
drew down a double camp, and Cali
fornia one. and another was added to
day by taking one from Washington.
Moreover, it another army is called
under the draft system, the Western
troops will be trained in Washington
and California; none in Oregon.
Of the 32 camps established 21 are
in the South. The explanation of the
War Department is that the Southern
climate in Winter is more equable
than that of the North. But Oregon
has as mild a Winter climate as has
American Lake. It has-a much milder
climate than Massachusetts. New York,
.New Jersey, Maryland, ivncnigan, xm
Vnois, Iowa and Kansas. Yet each of
those states have one camp each.
Summer Climate Mild.
And in Summer the Oregon climate is
much milder than that of Texas, which
has four camps; than Georgia and
South Carolina, which have three
apiece, than Alabama with two. Indeed,
the Oregon climate is on a par with
that of Puget Sound, and the Fuget
tiound camp is said by authorities to
hav a more desirable climate. Winter
and Summer, than any other of the 32
places where Army training camps have
been established. Yet Oregon gets no
Arm v camp.
It is true that Oregon will have ti
chance to bid on furnishing lumber and
supplies for the camps at American
Lake and Linda "Vista, Cal., but the
probabilities are that Tacoma and Se
attle will furnish most of- the lumber
Tor American Lake, and California will
unquestionably furnish most of the
lumber, if not all the lumber,
for the Linda Vista cantonment.
And when it comes to furnishing sjp
iplies to these camps, after the men
ore assembled, the purchasing Quarter
masters are going to buy, as far as
jiossible. in the nearby markets, where
they will not be obliged to wait OR
transportation. This means that Ta
coma and Seattle will furnish most of
the supplies for the encampment at
American Lake that is, supplies that
are purchased locally.
Oregon at Disadvantage.
On some of these contracts there will
be open bidding", but Portland and other
Oregon bidders will have to cut their
price below prices quoted in the Fuget
Sound cities, for in letting contracts,
freight will be figured as part of the
cost.
The big Army encampments are go
ing to produce large business for the
cities near which they are located, and
recognizing that fact, there was strong
pressure on the War Department from
some of the states which landed the
cantonments. The Southern Senators
we-e particularly insistent upon lib
eral recognition, and it was the influ
ence of these Senators that resulted
in the establishment of 21 of the 32
camps in the South. On the other hand,
there was no effort put forth in be
half of Oreson; no demand that a can
tonment be established within the
states, and the War Department, feel
ing no pressure, passed up Oregon and
yielded to the tremendous demands that
came from both Washington and California.

EUROPEAN" "WRITERS SUGGEST
PLAX FOR DISPUTED LANDS.
Palestine, Syria. Sues Canal and Afri

ranged by Enthusiasts.
!ft)NTDON, June 30. Suggestions that
the United States should govern Vari
ous disputed lands as the trustee for
civilization are being advanced by Eu
ropean publicity with increasing fre
quency. The destinies of Palestine,
Syria, and even the Suez Canal have
been thus arranged by enthusiasts.
Joseph Wedgwood, who was on the
staff of General Smuts in East Africa
last year, proposes in an article in The
Nation to give the United States the
largest order yet framed.
All German African colonies, Mr.
Wedgwood says, should be pooled with
the Congo Free State and the Portu
guese colonies by the payment of
100.000,000 to Belgium and 20,000.000
to Portugal. This territory of 4.700.000
square miles should be administered by
an American commission similar to the
Philippine Commission, but nominated
by the guaranteeing powers, with
"equal opportunities for all whites, free
trade and a progressive non-exploiting
land policy up to the best modern pat
tern as exhibited in the Philippines."

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June 30. A
running fight between a British steam
ship and two German submarines which
took place June 8 about 30 miles off the
Italian coast near Genoa, in which the
steamship succeeded in eluding the
U-boats by superior speed, was de
scribed by officers of the ship on ar
rival here today.
The submarines came into sight some
distance astern of the steamer shortly
after she had left the Italian port, one
of the officers said, and Immediately
opened fire with shrapnel from deck
guns and the steamer's deckhouses and
funnel were considerably battered. The
gun crew of the steamer returned the
fire and soon succeeded In making one
of the submersibles withdraw.
The second enemy, after an hour's
chase, gave up to go after a smaller
vessel that appeared in the distance and
soon after a wireless message was
heard telling that a steamer had been
torpedoed and asking for assistance.
LAST CRUST TO WIN WAR
Prussia Said to Be Making Supreme
Efforts to Conserve Food.
LONDON". June 29. According to the
Kreuz Zeitung. of Berlin, of June 26.
Dr. Georg Michaelis, the Prussian food
controller, announced that a military
house-to-house search for foodstuffs
which were impounded by the govern
ment for general use. only resulted in
the addition of about four per cent to
the existing stocks.
The newspaper says the Prussian
Minister of Agriculture has appealed in
the gravest terms to the public, im
ploring that every privation be faced
until victory, which he says will be
won, not by the last bullet, but by the
last crust.
EARLY ATTENTION ASSURED
Berlin Wants Xcw "War Credit. .
BERLIN, via London. June 29. The

Surprise Expressed, as Situation
Not Reported Previously Data
Asked by Monday Morning.
Alaska Product Unavailable.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU", Wash
ington, June 30. Senator McNary to
day started in earnest a fight which be
hopes will put an end to the fuel
shortage in the Northwest and Insure
ample coal for Portland and all Ore
gon. He laid before the coal com
mittee and the railway committee of
the council of National defense the
telegram of the Portland Chamber of
Commerce telling of a threatened fuel
famine throughout the Pacific North
west. Officials of both committees were
surprised at the information and said
they had never before heard of any
coal shortage on the Pacific Coast.
The chairman of the coal committee
requested Senator McNary to procure
Immediately from Oregon as much in
formation as has bearing on the fuel
shortage and to present that informs-.,
tion, if possible Monday mornnig at
which time the coal -committee is to
have a full conference. The Senator
promptly telegraphed the Portland
Chamber of Commerce for all parti
culars it has and if they are received
in time, will place same in the hands
of the coal committee.
Prompt Attention Assured.
He has assurance that the council
of National defense will give the North
west situation prompt attention if the
data are available Monday and will
exert its Influence to secure relief.
The railroad committee while not
advised as to the coal situation in the
Northwest was inclined to believe the
trouble arises there as in the East
largely from the fact that coal cars
are being used by the railroads for
carrying other commodities and that if
the roads .will furnish an adequate
supply of cars there would be no
trouble in getting ample coal to con
sumers. This committee also asked
for any detailed information the Sena
tor can present as to the car situation.
To ascertain whether there is any
immediate prospect of getting Alaskan
coal for Pacific Coast consumption
Senator iacNary called on the Interior
Department and learned that there
have been several recent conferences of
officials who are trying to develop
plans for getting this coal to market.
The Government railroad will be com
pleted to the heart of the Matanuska
field early in October and the depart
ment expects to see coal moved to tide
water early next year.
Regulations Bar Development.
The department could give the
Senator no assurance that Alaska coal
could be put in Pacific Coast markets
before next Spring.
Later on. Senator McNary learned,
from other sources, that there has
been no commercial development of
coal in Alaska under the coal leasing
law passed in 1915, because, he was
told that the department regulations
issued last September contain so many
prohibitive clauses that capital will
not invest. ,
The real development attempted
under the leasing law was undertaken
to furnish coal for the Alaska Railroad
Commission and the lessee, driven to
bankruptcy by the Government re
quirements, sublet his lease to the
ailroad Commission.
With this single exception no coal is
being developed in Alaska.
Senator McNary will look further
into this situation and probably will
recommend to the department that its
regulations be modified so capital may
be induced to develop the field.
40-FOOT CHANNEL FAVORED
Committee Assures McNary of Adop
tion of Amendment.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 30. Senator McJ"ary has
had a hearing before the Senate com
merce committee to present arguments
in support of his amendments to the
river and harbor bill. The amendment
authorizing a survey of the Willam
ette and Columbia below Portland
to develop a 40-foot channel, he was
assured will be adopted.
On the showing made by the Senator
of the co-operation of local interests
and merits of the projects the commit
tee promised to adopt the new Yaquina
project at the next session of Congress.
The Siuslaw project also will be laid
over, because it is not regarded as an
emergency improvement.

LABOR HEARING IS. SECRET
Whether I. W. 'W. Teaches Sedition
Is Subject of Inquiry.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Juna SO
Fruitmen. public officials, workingmen,
employers and members of the Indus
trial Vorkers of the World were wit
nesses today and this evening before
the special committee of the State
Council of Defense that is investigating
labor conditions In the Yakima Valley.
The hearing was behind closed doors,
but It is understood one of the main
subjects of inquiry was whether or not
the I. W. W. teaches sedition, and
whether its propaganda threatens the
harvest in this valley.
Chairman Younger said today labor
was entitled to sufficient increase In
wages to meet changes in the cost of
living, but some of its demands were
plainly unreasonable. Concessions
should be made on both sides, lie said,
and he hoped the golden mean might be
found.
The committee will formulate Its re
