Signing of Armistice Brings Sigh of
Relief Rather Than Noisy Dem
onstration on Front.
THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 22. 1018.
OREGON BOYS LAUDED
1A

"Instead of srreetln the announce
ment of the signing- of the armistice
with a hilarious demonstration, offi
cers and men of the Fifth Army Di
vision in the Verdun sector literally
heaved a sigh of relief and immedi
ately began to speculate as to the
probable length of time that would be
required to complete peace terms. The
men were exhausted by weeks of hard
fighting, the weather was cold and
disagreeable with a drizzling rain fall
ing, difficulty had been encountered In
bringing up supplies promptly and the
brave fighters were satisfied with the
assurance that hostilities had been -us
pended."
Captain Roy "W. Ritner. State Ben-ator-elect,
of Pendleton, who has Just
returned from spending eight months
la France, where he went at his own
expense as field representative of the
Red Cross, attached to the Fifth Army
Division, gave this report to a. group
of friends at the Imperial Hotel yes
terday. He supplemented his account
of personal experiences In the war
zone with a high tribute to America's
fighting men, whose challenging fear
lessness and unsurpassed bravery, ho
said, marked their conduct either In
open battle or In the air.
War Impressions Are Told
Some vivid Impressions of the war
were brought home by Captain Ritner,
who, on one occasion last July, was
caught In a barrage with a detachment
from hi3 Army division and for more
than an hour was exposed to the shell
fire of the enemy before finding refuge
in trenches. The Fifth Army Division
had an important part in the conclud
ing engagements of the war, rendering
valiant service in the St. Mihiel drive
as well as In the Verdun sector later.
Jts most notable achievement was the
capture of Dun on the Meuse River,
which had been held by the Germans
for four years. The division received
eeven citations for meritorious work.
"But' It was In Paris that the sign
ing of the armistice was appropriately
celebrated," rld Captain Ilitner. "I
did not reach the French capital until
a week following that event and the
demonstration was still In progress.
The French people could not do enough
in expression of their gratitude' for
American, Canadian and Australian
v soldiers who had reached that city
from the trenches.
Allied Hospitals Raided.
"There has been no exaggeration or
misrepresentation In published reports
of German airplane raids at midnight
on Red Cross field hospitals. On sev
eral occasions I was at a field hospital
when the Huns conducted a bombard
ment in the middle of the night. In
one such raid, at 2 A. M., three Amer
ican soldiers were killed and seven
badly injured."
It was not until shortly before he
sailed for home that Captain Ritner
met up with any of the organizations
to which Oregon men were attached.
The Fifth Army Division was composed
entirely of regular Army troops.- Late
in the Fall in the Argonne Forest dis
trict. Captain Ritner met enlisted men
from his home state. They were at
tached to the 91st Division and the
148th Artillery.
La Grande Tnit Landed.
The La Grande hospital unit, reports
Captain Ritner, was Included In the
42nd Rainbow Division which was des
ignated as one of the 10 divisions of the
American Army of Occupation on the
Rhine. To be assigned to this service,
he says, was regarded a high and dis
tinct honor.
In his absence from the state Cap
tain Ritner was nominated and elected
State Senator without opposition from
Umatilla County. He had represented
that county In the House at the 1915
and 1917 sessions. It Is believed Cap
tain Ritner has the distinction of being
the first member of an Oregon Legis
lature to be nominated by his political
party and elected without opposition
either In the primary or the general
election.
Before returning to his home at Pen
dleton Tuesday night. Captain Ritner
expects to visit Salem, when he will
select his desk In the Senate Chamber
for the legislative session which will
bo convened Monday, January 13.

LARGE STOCK OF SUBSTITUTES
FOUND IN NORTHWEST.
to
Merchants and Jobbers Appeal
Government In Effort to Es
cape Freight Charge.
Substitutes, ow hlch housewives have
learned much within the period of food
control, are. now the subject of finan
cial concern to Pacific Northwest deal
ers, due to the sudden restoration of
unrestricted use of white flour. Mill
ers, Jobbers and wholesale dealers In
flour, having stocked up for the esti
mated trade of the Winter season, find
themselves with great quantities of rye,
barley, corn and rice flour for which
the demand has slumped.
D. A. Pattulo, of Balfour, Guthrie &
Co., estimated yesterday that there are
probably from 80,000 to 100,000 barrels
the substitutes in the Pacific North- i
west, on which the holders stand to
pocket a loss averaging more than $1.20
barrel. When permission for the use
of wheat flour without employment of
substitutes was restored by order of
the Food Administration it was recog-
ized that there would be large stocks
of substitutes on hand. Accordingly
the Government agreed to take back
the Burplus at the same price the deal-
r had paid.
Appeals have been made to the Food
Administration for a revision of the
rder to include freight, that the hold
ers may not be penalized for having
patriotically complied with the request
to carry the stock.
There is still a Government embargo
on exporting the substitutes, which pre
cludes finding an outside market, say
the dealers, and local demand has prac-
Ically ceased for everything except the
corn substitutes.

of which stand over 20 feet In height,

Since the trees have taken a growth
they have been covered with scarlet
berries each year. Not only do they
add to the beauty of the place, but
have become profitable. This year Mr.
Brownell has found a big demand for
the holly In the San Francisco mar
kets, and sold considerable last year.
Early in the week he shipped to San
Francisco buyers 1526 pounds, and Fri
day and Saturday of this week shipped
300 more pounds, and still the bushes
