C ntral Nations Depending on TT. S. Supply Austria and Bulgaria in Serious Plight. NEW YORK, Aug. 9. Dr. Alonzo Taylor, professor of chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania, chairman of surveys of the American relief ad ministration, returned today on board the steamship Patria after eight moths' work in Germany, Austria, Hun gary, Koumania and Serbia. "There are millions of people in Eu rope who have no food." he said, "and who look to the United States to supply it. Growing of crops abroad is cur tailed pending territorial adjustments. Governments will not spend millions of dollars for farm implements, even if they can obtain them, to be used on land that may shortly be given to a neighboring nation. Millions In Chao. "There are nearly one hundred mil lions of people in central Europe," said Dr. Taylor. "The armistice left these in political chaos, divided into j new states, struggling: with Inexperi enced governments, their transporta tion disorganized, with scarcity of coal, great depreciation of currency, acute struggles between labor and capital, and'-over all the pall of war fatigue. "The problem of food was the imme diate problem. If they could be carried into the new harvest this would afford time in part for their governments to become stabilized, their communications to be restored, their railroads reorgan ized, their supplies of fuel established. This would give six months for the study of their problem of currency and for the establishment of industry in order that interstate commerce might be resumed. "The great defect in Central Europe today, indeed, in Europe as a whole, is the failure of production." Considering the central European countries individually. Dr. Taylor said: Conditions Are Summarized. "Poland is in a fairly hopeful situ ation, despite the great scarcity of work animals. Finland and the East Baltic states are in a condition of chaos. Czecho-Slovakia is in very good con dition, American foodstuffs tlone ena bling the peopla to carry on until the present harvest. Ho u mania also has been carried on by American and Brit ish food stuffs. The kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes is harvesting a good crop, which will give them an ex portable surplus. "Austria is in very bad shape, and in Hungary the peasants sent food to Budapest only under compulsion. The city is being fed by the American re lief administration. "Bulgaria has remained outside of the field of relief, politically, economically and in every other way. CEMENT FACTORY IS BUSY SEVEN" CARLOADS SHIPPED DAILY FROM OSWEGO. CHAMBER ASKS FDR PROOF EVIDENCE SEEDED THAT CITY CAX l"SE MORE SHIPS." Shippers Told That They Must Show Space Will Be Taken ir There Are Vessels Available. 60 00 Barrels Sent hy Water to St. Johns to Be Used on Terminal. 5 7 Employed at Factory. OSWEGO. Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) The big Portland cement plant on the west bank of the Willamette river is in full operation manufacturing the famous Oregon building product. The capacity of the plant is 1100 bsrrels, or 4400 sacks, daily, requiring the services of 55 men and two women. One woman operates the machine which ties the empty bags. The quarries are located at Dallas, in Polk county, where cement rock is obtained, and at Roseburg, where lime iB procured. Eighty or more men are employed at the two Quarries. Eight carloads or raw material are unloaded at the Oswego factory daily, while between seven and ten carloads of the finished product are shipped out. the latter representing anywhere from 175 to 310 barrels, or 30 to 60 tons to each car. The company's freight bill paid to the Southern Pacific company for July totaled $10,416.80. Six thousand barrels are being sert by water to St. Johns to be used in finishing the terminal. MAYORS TO CONFER AUG. 19 Means of Combating High Cost of Living to lie Discussed. August 19 is the tentative date set for a conference of mayors of Port land, Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma for the purpose of discussing ways and means of combating the increased cost of living. Seattle has been named as the meeting place, although definite plans have not yet been decided upon according to Mayor Baker. A general conference of mayors from all parts of the coast, as first planned was found to be inadvisable, because of the visit of President Wilson and the Pacific fleet to cities in California during the latter part of the month However, a conference including the mayors of California cities is planned later for the discussion of the same subject. STUDENTS WORK IN WOODS Practical Forestry Learned by Party From Idaho University MOSCOW, Idaho, Aug. 9.

Coon is associated with a private lum ber concern for the summer as adviser in lodging operations, and Dean Miller and Dr. Henry Schmitz are in charge of reconnoisance work on state lands. The students are scattered through out the state in various positions. BIG WHEAT TRACT IS SOLD Hair Section in Umatilla Brings R. J. Campbell $180 an Acre. PEN'DLETON, Or., Aug. 9. (Special.) Announcement of the sale of a half section of wheat land by It. J. Camp bell to Mum Karstens for a price of $180 an acre, the new owner to take possession September 15, was made to day. The land is between Middle and North Cold springs, and comprises some of the best wheat land in the county. Commenting on. the latest action of the shipping board In determining to proceed with the allocation of new steel tonnage to Pacific coast ports to be operated on certain trade routes, also that additional assignments will le made to exporters of the coast on a showing being made as to cargo, W. D. B. Dodson, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, declares the gateway has been opened to Portland to obtain more vessels for permanent operation. Ships for continuous line service are to be allocated as rapidly as deliveries are made by the builders .and the as signment of other vessels, such as to exporters proving they are in position to handle the business, will be made after proposals are filed by them with C. D. Kennedy, Portland agent for the division of operation. Mr. Dodson's views on the prospects are set forth as follows: "This invitation from the shipping board for a definite offer of business will presumably gather the data upon which the final allocation of ships for Pacific trade is to be made, pending final sale of government ships to pri vate interests. Great Showing Is Vital. ! "It is of the highest importance that Portland make a great showing. We do not accept the proposal of only four ships for a trans-Pacific business, as has been suggested following confer ences to date. We know that a much greater business can be done here, but in order to prove our case, there must be every possible fact presented. "There is no way to get the facta except for every shipper, export or im port, to come forward with the most definite possible showing. This show ing the Chamber of Commerce invites immediately. "In preparing the facts it will be necessary to deal in the most con crete terms that may be employed of a port deprived of general cargo ships for a few years. Despite this handicap, due to war conditions affecting ship ping, Portland will be able to prove that we can employ profitably here a large fleet of steamers. Portland Gets Too Few. "We cannot accept the tenative allo cations printed in press dispatches from San Francisco, indicating that for the Oriental service we will get but four ships, when the other great ports of the Pacific are getting many times this number. We have proved that when ships are available, we can get cargo. We can prove further that with more ships, we can get more cargo. 'In view of the superb showing Port- and has made in ship construction uring the war, the great productive interland behind us, the rail connec- 10ns with the port and many other d vantages our demand for a greater umber of ships than is indicated in he tenative allocations must be ranted. 'To do this right, all shippers inust oin. The chamber invites immediate nd energetic action in presenting these facts." HE SUFFERED FOR TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS Charles Sly at Last Found Entire Relief From Troubles; Praises Tanlac. "I had been In poor health for twenty-eight years, and had made every effort to find a medicine that would give me some relief, but my troubles were never overcome until I got hold of Tanlac." said Charles Sly. a well known employe of the McGoldrick Lum ber company, who lives at 05605 North .Si SJreetl sPkane. a few days ago. 'I have had stomach trouble ever since I was ten or twelve years old." he continued, -and as I grew older this trouble just seemed to get worse all the time, and when 1 commenced taking Tanlac I was just about down and out so far as health and strength goes. I could hardly retain anything I ate and would be badly bloated up with gas for hours after meals. I finally got to where a glass of milk with an egg In it was about the only thing I could re tain on my stomach. I was very nerv ous and never got a good nlghfs sleep arid lost so much In weight that I -was almost nothing but skin and bones. oumeumes my legs would ana couldn't walk go to sleep Kt&n until T . uuuea iaem ana started up a little cir culation. "Well, Tanlac came alnns. thi. .n4 I thought I might as well try it,' and by the time I had finished mv first bottle I was feeling like a different man entirely. I just stuck to. Tanlac then, and now I am as well and strong as I ever was in my life. I have gained a lot In weight and have gotten back my strength and can do as much work in a day as any man. I have been do ing a double shift for some time now, and It doesn't hurt me at all. My nerves are steady and I sleep like a rock every night. I never had such an appetite, and eat Just anything I want without suffering afterward. In fact. T rfnn-t remember ever feeling better in every --j i.imj i uuw uo.

Traffic and New Site Is Sought. The Liberty temple, which has served as the headquarters for every big war drive and all war and post-war activi ties, is to be moved from its present lo cation. The temple is now used as headquarters for the American Legion, and a committee of this organization is seeking a new site for the building.
