NAVY NOW NEWS PURVEYOR
Telegraph and Cable I4u.es and Gov
ernment Controlled "Wreless All
at Service of Mariners.
NEW YORK, June 3. The establish
ment of a government-controlled bureau
-of shipping Information, through which
maritime Interests of the United States
are advised dally through official
.sources and without cost, of the move
ments of practically all the merchant
ships of the world. Is an outgrowth of
one of the activities of the navy depart
ment during the war.
This bureau, conducted by what is
known as the naval communications
service, was Instituted shortly after
this country entered the conflict. It
was made necessary for the reason that
prior to that time there was no organ
ized branch of the government through
which the movement of ships could be
obtained on short notice. The demands
of the navy and war departments, the
United States shipping board and allied
war Interests required that there be at
hand at all times a carefully revised
record of all ships not alone of their
movements, but details as to their ton
nage, speed, specifications as to build,
etc. .
Under the direction of a naval officer,
with assistants recruited from the ma
rine departments of press associations,
daily and marine publications, etc., the
bureau was established and arrange
ments were at once made for prompt
and reliable dispatches from all parts
of the world concerning ship move
ments. this Bervice embracing not only
the facilities of the telegraph and cable
but the government-controlled wireless
as well.
Value la W Inestimable.
Its value during the war was Ines
timable and, with the coming of peace
and the efforts to build up in this
countr an efficient merchant marine,
the bureau has thrown open to the
public and particularly to the ship
owners, charters, shippers, insurance in
terests and maritime business generally
the facilities of its vast and far-reach
ing service
By means of a card index a question
relating to any ship can be promptly
answered and reliable information as
to her sailing date, estimated time of
arrival at port of destination, location
at sea or in port, can be readily given.
It Is a service which prior to the war
was maintained in a similar manner by
many of the foreign maritime nations
some of them much smaller and having
far less ships than did this country.
"With a large merchant marine, such as
this country apparently desires, the
value of such a service, marine men say
Is unquestioned:
The naval commission service employs
about 250 persons, all In navy uniform
and under direction of Lieutenant-Commander
R. B. Coffman. It issues daily,
and distributes free of cost to more
than 800 shipping firms, newspapers,
government officials, maritime ex
changes, etc., a bulletin of 145 pages
carrying the names of more than 10,000
vessels, each name showing nationality,
tonnage, location or sailing date. Evi
dencing the demand for this informa
tion the circulation of the bulletin is
increasing rapidly. Between the hours
of issue, the bureau keeps ship owners
advised by telephone or radio messages
cent from ships at sea.
Source of Information Many.
The practical sources of information
from which the bulletin acquires its
data are daily reports by telegraph and
cable from naval offices at ports in the
United States and from attaches in
foreign countries; daily reports from
the bureau of operations of the United
States navy and offices of the naval
intelligence bureau; daily reports (ex
cept Sunday) from the British minis
try of shipping; information obtained
from steamship companies and agents;
Associated Press cablegrams; the
Lloyds' daily index; the United States
shipping board; telephonic reports from
lookout stations and guard ships sta
tioned in New York harbor, and from
the army piers of the port of embarka
tion, in Hoboken.
In aditiond to serving the maritime
interests, the naval communication ser
vice, through its vast cable, telegraph
and radio facilities. is handling
practically all the business of the gov
eminent passing through New York.
Another feature of its service, regard
ing which the war-time ban of secrecy
has been but recently lifted, was the
perfecting of an electro-magnetic sig
naling device whereby fog bound ships
may determine their position and be
warned away from dangerous shoals.
These device enables the. listening
operator to determine not ' only the
direction from which the call comes
but the distance, from which it is sent
By means of cross bearings, taken from
different receiving .stations it becomes
but a simple mathematical problem to
determine an exact location, and the
vessel sending the signal is so advised.
For this service alone the marina
Interests desire the department con
tinued.
MEMORIAL TREES PLANTED
Character of Observances of Decora-
tion Day Greatly Changed.
SAN FRANCISCO. Decoration day
exercises throughout California not only
consisted in decorating the graves of
American soldiers and . sailors, but in
planting trees to the memory of the
men whose graves lie on the other side
of the Atlantic
A new note of solemnity was ap
parent, due to the fact that the kins
folk of many of those who had made
the supreme sacrifice in the great war
for civilization were present at many
of the ceremonials held in the cities
and towns of the state.
In Golden Gate park dedication was
made of a large acreage which will be
devoted to a grove forested with Cali
fornia trees, each of which will be
planted in the name of a. Californian
who died, either on the battlefields of
Europe, in hospital or training camp.
This grove will be held as a shrine
to perpetuate the memory of the men
by means of living monuments. John
McLaren, superintendent of the park,
who also was the horticultural expert
in charge of the gardening at the Pan
ama Pacific International exposition in
1915, has undertaken to lay out and
create this "Grove of Heroes."
Speakers at practically alt the cere
monials, after eulogising those who had
given their all to their country, touched
on the duty of the living In the days
of reconstruction and called attention to
their debt to the men who had returned
after fighting for the cause of civiliza
tion.
The great sport of programmees and
entertainments -which have been fea
tures on past occasions were reduced
to mere incidentals of the more solemn
observance of the day.
MARKET ROAD DESIGNATED
Barlow-to-Monltor Highway First to
Be Selected.
OREGON CITY, Or., June . 7. (Spe
cial.) The first road in the state to
be designated as a market road under
the provisions of the market roads tax
bill enacted by the people of Oregon
at the special election last Tuesday is
the highway extending from Barlow on
the Pacific highway to Monitor, on the
Marion-Clackamas boundary, a dis
tance of about 11 miles.
On the day following the passage of
the bill, which will result in an in
crease of about $60,00 annually in the
road funds of Clackamas county, the
court, in response to an appeal of the
people of the Monitor district, desig
nated the road as the Barlow-Monitor
market road.
While on founds will be available
from tho market-roads tax until next
year, the people living along the road
now have definite assurance that their
highway will receive early considera-
ion in a definite way, and that It will
ultimately be Improved.

EAST LOSING BANK POWER
100 Largest National Concerns Sow
In 34 Different Cities.
CHICAGO. Seven of the hundred
largest national banks in the country
are located in Chicago, according to the
reDort of the comptroller of the cur
rency. The midwest , the south ana
the west are snatching the banking
power from the east, the report Indi
cates. '
"An analysis of the national bank re
turns, from the bank call of March 4,
shows that the tendency toward de
centralization and greater distribution
of our banking power keeps .up," the
comptroller of the currency said. "In
the past the big banking institutions
were limited to a comparatively few
cities in a few states. Today our 100
largest national banks are distributed
among 34 different cities In 24 different
states and the District of Columbia.
Forty-nine of the 100 largest banks,
as shown by the reports of March 4,
1919. are located In the New England
and eastern states, while 51 of them
are located In the middle states the
south and the west.
"The location, by cities, of the 100
largest national banks, is as follows
"Chicago, 7; Boston, 6; New York
city, 20; Albany, 2; Buffalo. 1; Roches
ter, IVi Newark. 2; Philadelphia, 8
Pittsburg, 6; Scranton, 1; Baltimore, 2
Washington, 1; Richmond, 2; Atlanta, 1
Birmingham, 1; New Orleans, 1; Louis
ville. 2; Nashville, 1; Cincinnati, 2
Cleveland. 2: Indianapolis. 2; Detroit. 2
Milwaukee, 2; Minneapolis, 2; St. Paul,

3: Denver. 2: Tulsa, Okla., 1; San Fran
clsco, E; Los Angeles, 3; Seattle, 1 and
Portland, Or., 1.
"Of the 100 largest banks 46 have re
sources of over $50,000,000 each, and 21
have assets of over $100,000,000 each.
"The smallest of the 100- largest banks
has resources of about $25,000,000.
"The two bank consolidations recent
ly reported as in progress will probably
add Wisconsin and Missouri to the
states containing national banks hav
ing resources of $100,000,000 or more."

Portland enjoys,"
It was announced by the commission
that Attorney-General Brown will rep
resent the state at all hearings of the
interstate commerce commission to the
end that the readjustment so necessary
to Portland is obtained.

in Relation to Seattle Sched

LIFE COSTLIER FOR POOR
Higher Percentage of Salary Goes

WASHINCTON. The lower your
salary the greater percentage of it
you spend for food and shelter, ac
cording to the latest government cost

Tables compiled by 'labor, depart
ment experts after study of hundreds
of family budgets show the actual cash
outlay for food and rent is greater in
families with the higher incomes, but
in the average family the expenditure
for these necessities does not Increase
as fast as the income.
In Baltimore, for instance, thirteen
families with incomes under $900 aver
aged expenditures of $382.95 for food
and $120.44 for rent. The average was
46.5 per cent of the total income for
food and 14.6 for rent. The amllies
w'-ose Incomes were $2500 or mare,
however, averaged 13.5 per cent less
for food in comparison with total in
come, and 11.5 less for rent.
SALEM, Or.. June 7. (Special.) Un
just discrimination In transportation
costs favoring Seattle and Puget sound
points as against Portland, which, it is
alleged, had been maintained by the
railroads of the northwest for years is
asked to be corrected in a complaint
which the Oregon public service com
mission today forwarded to the Inter
state commerce commission.
The complaint charges that Portland,
with a water-grade haul from the Co
lumbia river basin territory, is dis
criminated against as regards the rates
from this same territory to Puget sound
points. The complaint sets forth the
fact that from the Columbia river basin
to Puget sound the railroads must pass
over the Cascade mountains, and be
cause of the increased cost of transpor
tation to Seattle, It Is alleged Portland
should have a more equable rate.
AdTsstsgra Ar Charged.
In filing the complaint today the
commission announced that J. P. New
ell, consulting engineer, has been mak
ing an investigation for the past year.
and the facts alleged in the brief sent
to the federal commission are based on
the results of his findings.
It is alleged that under present
transportation rates, Puget sound
points not only enjoy a natural and
geographical advantage over Portland
for Alaska shipping, but they likewise
enjoy' an unnatural advantage over
Portland as regards the shipping from
the Columbia river basin as a result
of the rates now in effect.
The complaint asks that a more just
and reasonable differential be allowed
between Portland and the Columbia
river basin as between Seattle and the
Columbia river basin.
Action Baaed oi findings.
The complaint of the public service
commission is not. an Intervention of
other similar complaints filed with the
interstate commerce commission, but
is an original action based on the com
mission's own investigations. It asks,
however, thaf its case be heard in con
junction with tho complaints of the
commission of public docks of Portland
and the Inland Empire Shippers'
league, both of which have filed pro
tests against the present rates.
"The class and commodity rates now
in effect and applicable to traffic be
tween Portland and the Columbia river
basin diminish and restrict the move
ment of such traffic, and Impose on
shippers and consignees both in Port
land and the Columbia river basin un
due, heavy and excessive burdens and
charges for the transportation of the
traffic that does not move," reads the
complaint.
Rate Schedule Attacked.
"Many of the inhabitants and resi
dents of the Columbia river basin are
engaged in agricultural, commercial
and industrial pursuits, and much of
their agricultural products, especially
wheat In vast quantities, is transported
to Pacific ports for domestic and for
eign commerce; and a considerable por
tion of the material and commodities
used by them In their commercial and
industrial enterprises is procured
through Pacific ports. The purpose of
this complaint is to attack all class and
commodity rates between Portland and
the Columbia river basin on competl
tive business, for the purpose of pro
curing a readjustment of the rates to
and from Pacific ports and the Colum
bia river basin, based on the natural
SHIPBUILDING IS LARGE
Lloyds Credit T". S. With 75 Per Cent
of Tonnage Under C6nstruclion.
LONDON. (Correspondence of the
Associated Press.) The United States
was building on March 31 twice as
much shiDDins as was Great Britain.
according to the figures given by
Lloyd's Register for the first three
months of 1919.
The total amount of all shipping
untfer construction on that date in al
lied and neutral countries was given
as 7.796.266 tons. Great Britain's
share of this was 2.254.84S. The United
States was then building 4,185,523 ton
of shiDning.
These figures credit the United
States with 75 per cent of the total
tonnage under construction in allied
or neutral countries outside of Great
Britain, and it is pointed out that the
United States Is now building 28 times
as much as It was in June, 1914. One
London paper saya the effect of so
many newly built ships entering Into
sea-going trade already is being felt.

Famous 133 Reach Beresniki, 200
Miles &onlh of Archangel,
Without Firing Shot.
ARCHANGEL. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) It was largely
due to the "bluff" of a young Russian
naval officer in command of one of the
little allied steamers of the Dvina river
that the original allied expedition up
that river from Archangel was not
wiped out by the bolsheviki in the early
phases of the northern Russia cam
paiprn.
The Dvlna expedition, 133 at rone;,
went poking Its way nonchalantly up
Kthe broad river aboard two or three
funny looking river steamers, on which
field pieces and machine guns had been
mounted. The bolsheviki had taken the)
best boats, Mississippi type of paddle
wheelers, with them in their flight.
The famous 113 reached Beresniki.
early 200 miles south of Archangel, at
he Junction of the Vaga river with the
Uvina, without firing a shot. One night,
all of a sudden, three or four bolahe-
ik side-wheelers mounting big guns
came around a bend in the river and
started trouble. When we fired our
cannon, they fell through the thin
ecks Into the staterooms of our
steamers.
A young Russian naval officer, in
command of one of our little ships with.
is own gun out of action, stood pat.
ith the useless muzzle turned toward
he biggest of the enemy's ships, and
barred the channel while our other
hips retreated.
Then our river expedition got the
lad news that a British monitor, sent
11 the way from the Belgian coast.
was on the way to help them. The
monitor crawled along the sandbars
and got to Beresniki. The colonel in
ommand of the river land forces told
me about it, a few weeks later, when I
went up to his sector of the front. It
was something of a tragedy this first
plsode of the monitor, but the colonel
couldn't help laughing about it.
The monitor steamed up, the colonel
said, "and its captain was rowed over
o my headquarters ship. The navy was
on the job and so. naturally, all was
over. He didn't want to stop a minute.
Where,' he shouted, "Is the enemy
fleet, and which is the way to Kotlass'?
And then the monitor chugged off in
the direction of the Bolshevik chip
round the bend in the river. It 'didn't
find the enemy fleet, and it certainly
was a long way from Kotlass, when a
Bolshevik land battery, masked in the)
woods on the river bank, dropped a big
hell into the monitor, putting it out of
commission and sending it back to
Beresniki."
It was in this episode of the monitor
that a young British naval surgeon,
performed one of the feats of bravery
and self-denial that are continually-
taking place in this war. With one eye
hot out and with blood nearly blind
ing the other, this young surgeon
calmly and successfully attended to tho
monitor's wounded until he fell exhausted.
The apartment at 10 Downing street,
London, where the meetings of the
British cabinet are held, is a solid and
plainly furnished room, fifty feet long
and twenty feet wide, fitted with
double doors, through which no sound
can reach the keenest listening ears.
