Credit is Figiatiog
Liberty's Kattles
Abroad!
There is not enough actual cash in circulation throughout the
. entire world to finance the great struggle for universal lib
erty which is now being waged in Europe. Without the
extension of credit to the nations engaged in warfare civiliza
tion would be trampled into the dust. When the great nations
of the world look upon credit with favor certainly individuals
have every reason to feel the same way towards the system
that enables him to supply the comforts of home, which are
his privilege, and do so at his own convenience.
Let us explain our Credit System to you in detail.

PRINCE GEORGE TO FRONT
Command in (iiTnmn Army Said to
He I"atc of Ciroek Xoblcnian.
ATHENS. Oct. 1. The young Prince
George, of Oreece, who was Crown
Prince until compelled by the allies to
abdicate his functions and leave the
country with his lather. King Con
stantine, has come into notice again
by reports that he has taken a com
mand in the German army.
The Crown Prince is described by
those who knew him as a real boy who
liked sport and adventure much more
than the things his tutors tried to teach
him as future Kinsr. His boy-like na
ture came out not long before the ab
dication, while the game of "questions"
was being played.
When the question. "Who is your fa
vorite author?" was asked most of the
players gave the names of great
authors, but the favorite author of the
Prince was a writer of the most lurid
type of Wild West literature.
When he was asked his favorite
motto he wrote:
"N'ever say die.
Never tell a lie.
Never stick your finger in other peo
ple's pie.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D.. Oct. 12. Her
masculine passenger unchi valrously de
serting her when the motorcycle on
which she was riding caught fire on
North Minnesota avenue, the mysteri
ously veiled woman, whose appearance
in the streets the last few days has
caused considerable comment and spec
ulation, was forced to use a portion of
her already abbreviated canvas skirt in
extinguishing the flames which sprung
up from all parts of the machine. Upon
the arrival of the fire department,
which was called as soon as it was
realized that her gallant efforts in at
tempting to check the devouring ele
ment would be of no avail. th woman
collapsed on tbe pavement.
The motorcycle, which had a side car
with the bathtub effect, was but little
damaged, and the veiled woman upon
resuscitation proceeded on her Journey

British Like German KIsh.
LONDON. Oct. 9. Some good things
come from Germany, and one of them
is the German salmon, which is now be
ing bred on a large scale in the Thames
and has the advantage of being non
migratory. At least it is non-migratory
In its native waters, but it may
change its habit here, as happened
with the English and American brook
trout which were, planted in New Zea
land. In English waters the brook
trout is never migratory, but in Xew
Zealand they rapidly 'developed into
confirmed sea rovers, and have now be
come a fine and healthy race of sea
trout, affording excellent sport and at
taining; unusual size.

OFFICERS' TRAINING CAMP. Pre
sidio, San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 20.
(Special.) Nearly a fortnight
beyond the half-way station, the offi
cer candidates at the training camp
are beginning to speculate about the
probable commissions. Approximately
120 men have been sent home by the
discharge board, leaving about 1340
students still in camp.
Colonel O. W. B. Farr. commandant,
does not know how many commissions
will be authorized. If there are 1200
men still on the payroll at the finish
wire, a very optimistic estimate, and
only 600 commissions are to be handed
out. then the remaining 600 will have
to go home disappointed.
Ergo, camp authorities and students
alike are sort of eager to know the
ultimate decision of the War Depart
ment. Few men have been dismissed from
the second camp for disciplinary causes.
Most of the dismissals have been res
ignations. In the early weeks, many
quit because they couldn't stand the
rigors of camp life. Now many are
turning in resignations because they
have reached the conclusion that -they
are either not physically fit to become
officers or are temperamentally de
ficient to boss a gang of soldiers
around in war times.
The new infantry companies will
have 250 men, including riflemen,
bombers and grenadiers, as against
about 150 under the old regime, so it's
going to be no child's play being Cap
tain or Lieutenant of an infantry unit
in this present war.
- . . .
During the past week the infantry
men have been getting another touch
of trench life. The "dough boys" spent
the first couple of days massaging the
hard clay with picks and shovels in
strenuous efforts to manufacture dug
outs in which" to sleep.
Three days and two nights will com
prise this month's sentence to the
trenches and for November the same
dose has been measured out by the
War Department diagnosticians. In
structors are required to occupy the
trenches along with their commands.
. '
Only one issue of food per day is the
order in effect and some of the boys
are going to be as skinny as rakes be
fore they bid adieu to the "front line"
this trip. This one issue of victuals is
brought up from the rear at night. Just
as is the case in actual warfare on the
other side of the pond. The men are
supposed to eat one-half of the food
immediately, before it cools, and the
other half at their leisure.
Captain M. Clavel and Lieutenant G.
Batal, of the French army, are here
doling out the latest wrinkles in trench
warfare, assisting Colonel Farr and
Lieutenant-Colonel W. M. Morrow, one
of the ablest line officers in the busi
ness. ...
A man who likes to soliloquize ought
to like trench life, for nowadays the
front-line trenches at night are guarded
by only a few watchmen. The rest of.
SfJ"j'i.icorj; C-aat rat-tf Sj-farmer-Q-st-C. SVUn.
the fighting gang are tucked away in
dugouts waiting the word of alarm
from the watchers. The principal du
ties of the watchmen are to look and
listen, using the periscope principally,
but always at some different spot, so
as to protect it against rifle bullets.
Captain Clavel says it is easy to de
tect a gas attack even before the gas
reaches the watchmen. The Huns are
unable to move their large retorts to
the front line without making a noise
like a women's sewing bee. Escaping
gas. too. produces a hissing that gives
early alarm. As soon as the gas alarm
is sounded all men slap on their gas
masks and rush out of the dugouts,
closing the doors with wet blankets.
Nobody is allowed to re-enter the dug
out until they have been thoroughly
cleared of gases by the chemical anti
dotes prescribed by the regulations.
. Robert Fithian. well-known Portland
boy. left a day or two ago for New
York, en route to France. He is a
commissioned officer in the flying
corps. Frank B. Dudley, another Port
land man, is now at San Diego' apply
ing the final touches. He completed his
ground course at the University of
California some weeks ago and had ex
pected to go to. England.
...
Arnold S. Rothwell is now taking a
course of lectures at the University of
California. He expects to return to
Portland within a few weeks.
...
The War Department accepted so
many resignations from officers of the
Missouri and Kansas Xational Guard
after they took their recent examina
tions that it was found necessary to
send a number of men commissioned
at the last Presidio camp to Fort Sill,
Okla.. to officer the Guard units.
But. like many of the vaccinations in
the Army, this scheme didn't "take."
The Missouri and Kansas boys de
manded officers from their own section
and now the Reserve Officers are
wending their way back to American
Lake, wondering what next.
...
Norman Ross. Portland boy who now
has the distinction of being the world's
greatest swimmer, has left for Ameri
can Lake to Join the National Army.
Norman has made application for
transfer to the aviation corps, as he
is ambitious to become a high flyer.
Norman made application some time
ago. but was turned down because he
tipped the beam at 210 pounds. He says
he has taken off 14 pounds and needs
to reduce' only six more to make the
grade. Ross has been attending Stan
ford University.
... r.
A battalion of artillery reached har
bor the other day from the Philip
pines and Colonel Farr. commandant,
got busy immediately and lined up a
couple of new instructors for the artil
lery batteries. The War Department
has been calling so many of the in
struction corps to active duty that
some of the companies and batteries
have been woefully shy of talent.
Three Oregon men are among the in
fantry instructors in camp Philip
Patterson. well-known Multnomah
Club athlete. First Lieutenant in the
United btates Keserve; Captain W. R.
Arens. of Hood River, and Phil Car
roll, of Hood River. An three are mak
ing a tremendous hit as officers and I
instructors. Cantain rrnl 1 9tti.nHii
West Point for three years.
...
They tell a good i-arn on Colonel
W. M. Morrow, chief instructor of the
camp. Colonel Morrow is a man big of
frame and of heart and with a voice
that could drown out a steam calliope'
if he desired to extend his vocal pow-
At the recent rifle practice on the
Fort Barry range Colonel Morrow laid
down on the ground for a few shots at
the 500-yard target. v
"Miss," signalled the man in the pit
at his first shot.
"Remark one," demanded ' Colonel
Morrow of the telephone operator .who
sat close behind the firing posts.
The red flag was waved from the pit
" n " r 1 a. .unifiric miss.
"Miss, nothing," ejaculated the
Colonel. "Here, let me talk to the pits.-
'Hello. this im C.nlnnnl Mnryniv ,n..lrl.v
Tell No. 1 to wake up and mark my tar-:
get again. I know I didn't miss.' "
A mum.nt Int., V. v,Vi(t. rt t r.
waved aloft from the pit indicative of
a bullseye. It is said Colonel Morrow
appreciated the Joke as much as any
body. Colonel Morrow is a brother of Judga
Morrow, of Portland.
...
Student officers are called from the
