AMERICA'S WILL TO
SAVE GIVES VICTORY
Hoover Sees Success in Vol
untary Measures to In
v crease Food.
WASTE GREATLY REDUCED
Heports From Cities Representing
J.3,000,000 Population Show
Cutting Down of Garbage
by Jf early One-tUlrd.
WASHINGTON. July 2S. America
will win the war, Herbert' Hoover de
clared in a statement tonight, because
of its superior resources and through
the ability of the American people to
organize. The success, already evident,
of the Nation's voluntary food con
servation effort, Mr. Hoover said, points
to a final victory.
"Oermany accomplished less in this
direction in 12 months," said Mr. Hoo
ver, "than our people have In four.
The only need of legislation and au
thority is to curb those who would
profit by this voluntary movement."
Mere than 2.000,000 women, yir. Hoo
ver announced, have enrolled as mem
bers of the food administration and
pledged themselves to follow its direc
tions as to savlr.gr rooet within the
household. Within 60 days, he said,
ir.any more millions will have become
members.
"No one can rightly bo gloomy over
the outcome for the American people in
this war." said .u-r. Hoover. "Success in
this war is a question of resources and
of the will and ability of the people to
reorganize themselves to use them
rightly and to endure. Jlany thinking
Americans and the whole world has
been watching anxiously the last four
months in the fear that democratic
America could not organize to meet
autocratic Germany. Germany has been
confident that it could not be done.
People Conserve l'"ood.
"Contrary proof is immediately at our
floor and our people have already dem
onstrated their ability to mobilize, or
ganize, endure and prepare voluntarily
and efficiently in many directions and
upon a mere word of inspiration, aside
from the remarkable assemblage of our
Army and finances.
"We entered the war four months ago
and it was announced by the President
that one of the great problems of the
war would be food. There has been no
consequential National or local legisla
tion, yet the greatest spontaneous vol
unteer effort ever made in history lias
not provided us with a larger stock of
food supply as a result of patriotic
planting in every quarter, but waste is
being eliminated out of every crack
and cranny of our homes and of our
Industries, and this is being done with
out compulsion of the law, but by spon
taneous effort and self-denial of the
people.
"Our present prospects indicate an
increase of production of cereals by
850.000.000 bushels. Literally millions
of new gardens have been planted or
extended everywhere. We have the
largest supply of vegetables ever in our
history.
Wolf at Europe's Door.
"The wolf is at the door of Europe
and with all these surpluses, our stock
of foodstuffs would still have been too
little for Ihe demand upon us during
the coming year if our people had not
responded to the rail for wise use,
economy and elimination of waste. The
response not only in planting, but also
in conservation has been of such a
spontaneous, magnificent order as to
give us confident optimism in the abil
ity of our people to prepare and to pro
se rve.
"Our American canners will this year
produce about 1,700,000,000 cans of fruit
end vegetables. Our Government and
the allies will require about 200.000,000
of these cans. The returns we have
from various state organizations indi
cate, from the results obtained for the
first half of the season, that the Ameri
can women will preserve this year
200.000.000 Jars and cans of fruit and
vegetables, and will thus supply any
deficiency called for by the, armies. '
Wante Largely LUlmlnnted. .
"The elimination of waste .in. the
country has been most gratifying. The
best index of this saving is in garbage
returns from our large cities. We have
the returns from the month of June
from cities of a population of 15,000,
000 showing a reduction of their gar
bage by 32 per cent under the month
of June last year.'
"Now that we make a broad survey
of the country after four months we
find every state spontaneously Creating
a definite and active food organization
presided over by capable, devoted men
and women who sacrificed every In
terest in this National service. This is
the organization of democracy, and this
is positive proof that upon call of Na
tional duty our people will rise, and
rise over night, to the real defense of
their faith."

WITH THE THIRD (BEAVER)
REGIMENT, OREGON INFAN
TRY. July 28. (Special.) The
week just ended has been one of in
tensified work for the clerical force in
headquarters. Work promptly and well
done is the first name of the Third
Oregon, whether it be learning the big
Job of being a soldier, laying the water
mains for the outside units that are
coming to camp in a few days, army
paper work or reassigning men from
one company to another.
Now that it is settled there is to be
a new assignment of troops, taking the
place of those on detached duty, and
that a battalion is to be left behind
when the Third Oregon goes South to
become a part' of the Forty-first Divi
sion, much paper work has been nec
essary to accomplish this end. Then,
added to this, was the rush of exam
ing the reservists that are daily re
porting back to join their former or
ganizations. Regiment,, Roster In 16I.
As the regiment roster stands today,
it has 1961. The necessary 2002 en
listed men to bring the regiment to a
war footing would have been accom
plished long ago had somebody played
fair. An instance in point. .Sergeants
Bannister. Morse and Ballantyne were
several weeks ago detailed to assist
at the Portland recruiting office to
enlist men for the Third Oregon. Their
records show that they enlisted 50 re
cruits, only eight of which found their
way to the Third. The recruits were
sent to Vancouver Barracks. Just what
hypnotic influence was used to cause
42 of the recruits to join the regulars
is not known.
At that, the two battalions of the'
Third that will soon go to Palo Alto
will be filled, the three companies of
the one battalion that is to be left at
home, temporarily, having vacancies
Sixteen of the reservists reporting yes
terday were sent away last night to
report to their commands.
Work I Cheerfully Done.
This week has given a splendid ex
ample of hard work cheerfully done
In order to make camp ready for the
incomng units, it was necessary to
lay out the camp sites, dig long ditches
for laying water, mains and pull up
no end of stumps to clear ground for
tents. It was necessary to detail
squads of 2! men from each organiza

but iot Rule Contracts.
WASHINGTON. July 2S. Reorganiza
tion of the Government's war purchas
ing system through creation of a war
industries board to supervise buying
and to decide priority of manufacture
and shipment was announced tonight
by tlfe Council of National Defense.
The new board will be the connecting
link between the Government and in
dustry. It will be charged with the
great responsibility for quantity pro
duction, will determine the question of
creating or extending industries de
manded by the war and will pass on
prices to be paid by the Government.
Its membership is as follows:
Frank Scott, of Cleveland. O.. chair
man: Bernard M. Baruch, of New York,
of the Coun'cil's advisory commission;
Hugh Frayne, of New York, represent
ing labor; Robert S. Brookings, a St.
Louis merchant; Robert S. Lovett, of
the Union Pacific system; Lieutenant-
Colonel Palmer E. Pierce, representing
the Army, and Rear-Admiral Frank E.
Fletcher, representing the Navy.
Purchasing; Board Named.
Three members of the board and Her
bert Hoover are designated to consti
tute a Government purchasing com
mission serving under the board's di
rection. The work of the commission
ers will be divided as follows:
Mr. Baruch In charge of raw ma
terial purchases; Mr. Brookings, fin
ished products;-- Mr. Lovett to decide
priority, and Mr. Hoover, food buyer.
Tho general munitions board, of
which Mr. Scott has been chairman, is
merged with the war board, and all
the duties of the munitions board will
be taken over by the new body.
mere w.ll lie no reduction in the
number of existing committees of rep
resentatives of the various industries.
but they no longer will arrange pur
chases and will serve solely as ad
visory bodies, and through the board
will answer direct to the council In-
stend of to the members of tho coun
cil's advisory commission.
Council .Not Altered.
There will be no change in the or
ganization of the council itself, whose
membership Is drawn from the cabi
net, nor in the organization of its ad
visory commission, made up of indus
trial and scientific representatives.
ine cnange in the organization is
expected to still criticism of the old
purchasing system on the grounds that
manufacturers ana producers as mem
bers of the committees have passed on
purchases from their own' plants. Un
der the new plan the war industries
board and its purchasing commission
will approve or disapprove of forms
of contracts. The industries commit
tees and sub-committees will continue
to advise as to quantity production
but will have no voice in the prices to
be paid for Government supplies.
Priority Question Important.
The War and Navy departments will
delegate purchasing powers to their
representatives on the board, who will
sign contracts. Under the law civilian
members of the board are not permit
ted to sxn contracts for these depart
ments and the new arrangement.
wnne it actually gives purchasing pow
ers to the board, obviates the neces
sity for new legislation. There is no
desire to change present statutes, it is
said, because when peace comes the in
tention is to eliminate the board and
go back to the old system of making
purchases.
No announcement was made con
cerning allied buying, but a. plan is
under consideration which provides for
the co-ordination of allied and A.mer-
ican Government purchases.
In naming one member of tho board as
& priority commissioner, the defense
council recognizes that the question of
priority will play an important part in
production of war materials.. Tho board
will decide not only which departments
shall be supplied first, but also will de
cide between private users of material
where one or both users is working on
Government contracts.
Labor was given a representative on
the board at the instance of Samuel
Gompers of the advisory commission.
who pointed out that labor is directly
interested in any changes that war may
bring to industrial establishments.

Judge Anderson Explains That County
Court's Plan Is to Improve High

OREGON CITT. Or.. July 28. (Spe

turely wrought up over the Clackamas
County road situation, is the statement
of County Judge H. S. Anderson, who
says that it has always beeti the in
tention of the court to varry the work
of improving the county roads straight
through to completion as soon as it can
be done.
The law authorizes the State High
wnv Commission to proceed with the
pavins of roads alter the county has
been told which roads are those of first
cho ce, and has graded each to the
spj cif ications furnished by the Com
mission. At the present time the
Clackamas County surveyors are at
work near Aurora, working toward this
city. As soon as the specifications are
completed by the commission and
turned over to the court, work will be
begun on the grading. County cm
ployes will be used on the work, it is
understood.
The contract for paving this strecth
of road south of this city and reach
ing to the Marion County line has been
let by the Commission. Judge Ander
son says that there is little prospect of
the paving work being done in any
thing else but continuous order. Ke
ginning at the Marlon County line, the
Commissioners will have the road

that the Oswego unit shall be the
