Harley arrived in Port land yesterday on his way to his hon at Astoria, full of gossip about affairs Washington, but chiefly declarin that he believes the war can be wo in the air and that he wants to do hi part toward walloping the Kaiser. In eldt ntally It may be hinted that Mayor Hurley's mission to Washington had to do with the building of airplanes. "The report that Oregon is to receive additional contracts for ISO ships may be taken with some reservation, sal Mayor Harley at the Imperial Hotel yesterday. 'There Isn't anyone wh would like to see 1000 ship contracts come to Oregon any more tnan your humble servant. Get me? But there are some things which can't be done. Government Holds to Policy- People may as well bear this fact in mind, continued the Mayor of Astoria emphasizing his remarks by punctual Ing each point with a Jab of his walk ing stick, "the American Governmen intends having, after the war, th greatest merchant marine In the world. It does not Intend waiving Its stlpula tlon that It may commandeer ships after they have been built on private account or for friendly foreign nation And this Is the milk in the cocoanut. The Government Is determined to com mandeer any wooden ship If It sees fit. No one wants to let a contract for ship and plan on using the vessel an then, when the ship is ready for use, to have the United State take it. Tha is why there are not more contracts for ships being let. Wooden Skips la Demand, I understand on pretty good au thorlty that the British governmen wanted to build wooden ships and th other allies and the Ecandanavian coun tries want many wooden vessels of from 1500 to 2000 tons which can be used for trawlers,, and similar service later. "There Is no question of the demand for wooden ships, and Oregon would have an unlimited number of contracts If tha Government would waive Its right to commandeer. It doesn't taki any effort on the part of a United States Senator or a Congressman to bring contracts to Oregon If the com mandeerlng clause is left out, but the Government will not leave It out. That's flat, and It Is the cold truth. Cosanmaadeer Clause la War. "Last Fall I made an offer to build ships In Oregon, showed the Govern ment the contracts available, and the finances that could ba had, and that all that was needed waa to have the com mandeerlng clause set aside. Would tho Government do It? Not on your life. Had the delegation got busy at the time of the controversy over steel and wooden ships last year they wonld orobablv have saved the situation, but now it is a dead subject at Washing ton. "There are some facts which must be faced, and this commandeering clause la one. bveryone with tump tlon around Washington knows the Government will not switch from its policy, so that when a member of the Senate or the House talks about In ducing the Shipping Board to change this policy It is pure bunk. And, say," continued tho Mayor. I am glad to see a business man out for United States Senator, because what Oregon needs is a business man, and a successful one. About the airplane matter, I'm going to have a lot to say. I'll give the producers and labor the truth, and If they don't want It they can throw it nto the waste basket, X will try to show that the war will be won princi pally in the air, and my main interest today is to 'win the war.'

These hitherto carefully guarded facts were disclosed here by Secretary Daniels in an address at a celebration marking the opening of the third liberty loan campaign. Mr. Daniels said that while he was not at liberty to tell the toll the fleet has taken of German submarines, the nation could "rest assured that our forces have Inflicted telling losses upon the enemy. ... m , . - ,. .... . vr- ' y-yvVTfwc 4 JM1 --w Lend them a hand!

ELECTION PETITION DENIED Circuit Court Rentiers Decision in Action at Oregon City. OREGON CITY, Or, April 6. (Spe cial.) The city win not be compelled to call a special election to amend the charter to provide an appeal from the city to the Circuit Court. This was the ruling of Circuit Judge Campbell in dismissing the writ of mandamus brought by Roy Ott, promi nent union leader and others, against the city fathers and Recorder Ixider.- On February 2, a petition carrying 15 per cent of the legal voters was filed with the Council, demanding that a special election be called to vote upon a charter amendment providing such an appeal. Instead of complying with the peti tioners, the Council tabled tho petition. and Roy Ott, with others, brought mandamus proceedings on the ground that ordinance No. 683, defining initia tive and referendum powers, in the city charter, should be construed as mandatory upon the part of the offi cials. Judge Campbell today held differently. Habeas Corpus Writ Dismissed. After a hearing yesterday.

Dietitians advise a "careful diet." but that is trouble some to most people; phvsicaj culturista advise "certain exercises." which is good if one has both th time and the inclination. Doctors advise diet and exercise and mmdioinm. The question is, shall it be a cathartic or purgative med icine) Or a mild, gentle laxative?
