BUENOS AIRES. R. A., June 6.
(Special.) There is perhaps no
place in the world where the
American has not penetrated at some
time or another, and the writer is be
ginning to think that not a small
proportion of those folk who have
scattered themselves around In odd
places of the globe are still talking of
umbrellas, loganberries, red apples
.nd big trees and claiming to have
lived In Oregon. If Portland, Me., and
Portland, England, were admitted to
the eligible list, there- are the makings
of; an excellent Portland club in
Buenos Aires. Every f erw weeks
somebody drifts through and notifies
tbe populace that he is a. webfooter,
ferings news of familiar places and
people, then seeks out a steamship
office and inquires the quickest way
to "get back home."
Professor Dubach Leaves.
Argentina. Is & big and 'beautiful
land of opportunity, but those who
have lived among the fir-clad hills and
veen tho snow-capped mountains
dream ever of the day when they shall
Jtave the flat plains of the eastern
seaboard.
Not less than two days past there
(tiled on the steamer Huron for Mon
tevideo and Rio de Janeiro Professor
XT. G. Dubach of the political science
department of the school of commerce
.t Oregon Agricultural college. He
(tailed direct from New York to Callao,
3Peru, passed about a week in that
untry, went south down the coast of
Caila and finally crossed the Cordil
leras on the Trans-An dine railroad.
The route was blocked at one place
3n the mountains and he went on rid
,.4ngr a mule.
- The trip is purely a vacation one
' but the educator Is making notes for
use In his lectures at the college this
cotninf fall, being especially interest
ed in the racial characteristics of the
Pople and problems of living condi
tions. He left the United States May
and plans to return by September 1.
'Cold 'Weather Encountered.
His journey across the Andes fur
B-ished about the only thrill and that
principally was a cold one, for water
was froxen everywhere and in many
places the train went between walls
of imow higher than the coaches.
Ho found a remarkable similarity
letwen Oregon and the territory
around Mendoia, in the western part
of Argentina, where the climate
eeemed typical of the Willamette val
: ley. He also noticed this same re
semblance in the fruit valley of Val
paraiso and) Santiago, with its fruit
farms, pastures and hay.
"Ingenlero Agronomo" reads the
line aoross the bottom of the calling
card of Roberto N. Justo of Buenos
Aires, andi right "below this are sev
eral more words, "B. S. Oregon Agri
cultural college." Professor Dubach
had not far to search for somebody
he knew.
Roberto Justo, born of Argentine
parentage, spent eight years in the
United States and chose the west in
which to receive his schooling. Four
of them went for preparatory work
at Washington State college, three
were passed at Corvallls and the last
at the University, of California. On
April 15 he retimed to his native land
but brought with him ideas that are
typically those of the Pacific coast.
SnpIIttKV Taken Home.
Futhermore, he has brought some
tning even more substantial than
those schemes of horticultural im
provement that aTe in his head. He
brought with him saplings such as
grape fruit, alligator pears, apricots,
prunes, walnuts and all sorts of figs,
and these he is going to attempt to
adapt to the needs f this country.
Mr. Justo, who is an expert in nor
ticulture, has just completed an ex
tensive tour of the Argentine, makin
a survey of climate and soil condi
tlons before he proceeds to put i
practice the things he learned in the
west.
Oregon Agricultural college is not
the only contributor from the state,
Take, for lnstanoe, the American Ex
press company. A little over a year
ago Miss Bessie B. Baker was fre
quenting the University of Oregon ex
tension school in the library several
nights a week and it became gener
ally known in the Spanish classes that
she was about to put her training
there to advantage. Shortly after
ward she sailed tor Buenos Aires to
become secretary to the general man
ager of the main office of the com
jany for Argentina, bavins nad.traio-
Ing as secretary to the superintendent1
in Portland.
Now Miss Baker endured the new
comer's usual first few months of
boarding house hunts and finally
packed bag and baggage and moved
to a suburb called Belgrano, just one
hour from the center of the city by
street car. She had decided to take
drastic steps in order to learn Spanish
as it is spoken in the Argentine and
this was move No. 1. As a result
she is now heroically shivering in a
cement house with a patio and no
stoves and passing her leisure mo
ments getting to and from the office
on a street car. She now talks like a
native.
On the floor below Miss Baker in
the American Express company's
building is W. L. Gregory, formerly
connected with the business office of
a Portland newspaper. He arrived in
Buenos Aires last October, coming
from New York, whence he had gone
from Oregon. He is now asisstant
to the general auditor for South Amer
ica and likes the Latin countries so
well that when an office is established
n Rio de Janeiro he hopes to be sent
there.
AVIsners Well Known.
Two folks who are well known In
the vicinity of Portland are Mr. and
Mrs. J. Nelson Wisner, who have been
n South America a number of years.
passing the last two of them in this
ity. Mr. Wisner was with the
United States bureau of fisheries in
Oregon and as long as there was the
ositlon of superintendent of hatch
eries, created in 1898, he held that
office. His work with fisheries
brought him to Montevideo seven
years ago for the government of Uru
guay and he later came to Buenos
Aires as manager of the United States
chamber of commerce. More recent
ly he deserted this tor the advertising
business and has expanded his "pub-
llcldad" service until he occupies
nearly an entire floor in one of the
downtown buildings.
Mr. Wisner was a pal of E. E. Bro
die of Oregon City and he has friends
all over Portland. To hear him talk
one would never suppose he had left
there so many years ago, but the
Weekly Oregonian perhaps accounts
for his familiarity with events at
home, as he has a stack of these pa
pers with every mail hoat. One of
the activities he was much interested
n while in Oregon was the Arts and
Crafts society and the art experience
he displayed to advantage there has
served him well in the advertising
business.
Mrs. Wisner will be Temembered as
Miss Pratt of Oregon City, member of
the pioneer Barclay family.
Oregonlans Are Loyal.
inB writer muse not neglect an
other old friend she chanced upon
yesterday, in the onTice of the Asso
ciated Press she heard one of the ed
tors commening upon a little maga
zine he had picked up in another
building and brought to his sanctum
to look over. It proved to be the Mav
issue of the Export and Shipping
journal, tne one which leads off with
a lengthy article about the port of
foruana.
A bit of propaganda here and a bit
there seems to have its effect in the
long run and Oregonians here are
most loyal. Professor Dubach has it
to his credit that an English reporter
on tne isuenos Aires Herald, a very
conservative individual, became very
enthusiastic about the agricultural
college ana devoted two-thirds of
column to telling Argentina about It
The following is quoted from the
article:
"Mr. Dubach stated that he was
taking, advantage of the summer va
cation to study business conditions,
agriculture, economic and governmen
tal conditions in South America in the
interests of the Oregon Agricutural
eoLlege. He left the Unitedi States on
May 11 and hoped to return to New
York by September 1. The people In
the United States, especially In the
western states, were evincing an ever
increasing interest in Latin-America
and for this reason he considered
there was nothing like obtaining first
hand Information and studying the
many strong and weak points of for
eign systems.
New Coarse Planned.
"Trade between the western states
and Latin America had increased con
siderably since the opening of the
Panama canal and in view of this
growing interest Mr. Dubach inti
mated that on his return he intended
next year to institute a Latin-America
course of study at the College. To
day the school has 3700 pupils devoted
mainly to the study of agriculture, en
gineering, commerce, home economics,
pharmacy and forestry. Among these
students were several Americans, in
eluding a young fellow from Buenos
Aires named justo, wno graauaiea
two years ago.
"Interchange of students was im
portant and desirable and the school
had every reason to expect a greater
influx of South American - students
than formerly. Although at the pres
ent time the college was taxed to ca
pacity, they were always glad to re
ceive mem. . i

in his pocket. All that he needs for
entrance is a passport, a clean bill of
health, a mental certificate and a po-,
lice certificate. Argentina does the
rest.
In the big building are 12 dormito
ries scattered through the three floors,
each sleeping room accommodating
272 people. There is a vast dining
hall with marble-topped tables and a
kitchen adjoining filled with steam
cookers that hold 600 litres apiece,
and from each 850 persons may be
served. There are 13 such kettles. On
a busy day as many as five sacks of
potatoes have gone through the pat
ent peeling machine and into' the
meal, the piece de resistance of which
is puchero, a species of stew.
From the store room come sacks of
bread made, by the inmates of the
penitentiary, macaroni and spaghetti,
garbanzas or queer little beans, and,
in place of coffee, the mate herb. In
this way the newcomer is given an
introduction to the food of his new
land immediately upon his arrival.
Motion Pictures Furnished.
At night after dinner the visitors
are treated to motion pictures snow
ing scenes and industries all over the
country. When the man of the house
hold finally obtains- a Job, he and his
family are given free transportation
to their new home and not until their
arrival does the government cease to
care for them.
October. November and December
are the buesist months at the immi
grant hotel, for it is liven that the
influx -from Europe is greatest and
many a time there are 6000 people
.being cared for on a single day. It is
an establishment, where the clientele
always changing, where one day
there is a flood of olive-skinned Ital
ians and the next day a horde of
blond. Germans, where many lan
guages are spoken. In five days per
haps they have all gone on and the
place has filled up from another
steamer. These guests range from
roving street peddlers to folk of fair
ly comfortable circumstances, who
have been forced for the sake of econ
omy to Journey by way of the steerage.
Germans Are Numerous.
This applies especially to the er
man, who. finding his mark of such
scanty value, buys a third-class ticket
and moves to the new world. Possibly
he is a professional man, an engineer,
a professor or a doctor. Mayhap, as
was the case of one steerage passen
ger not long ago, he has brought with
him machinery and possessions of
great value. Customs inspectors have
not yet recovered from their aston
ishment at finding one of these indi
viduals traveling with 7000 kilos of
equipment.
Many immigrants get their first les
sons in cleanliness here, for the hotel
is equipped with baths, laundries and
wash stands a plenty and guests have
no choice about dodging a twice-a-week
shower. Possessed of a vivid

remember high words about brother

cheek. It is true Just as much of the

American relief committee a while
ago, to be examined in regard to hds
evident need for assistance along the
path of life. He couldn't come unuil

facts, and blames it on tbe nations
with which his nation fought.
In America, one travels a week or
more and covers thousands of miles
and at the end of the journey, as
throughout it, one is in a country
where they still speak the same lan
guage, and think the same kind of
thoughts. No passports, nor weary
trips to consular offices, no Identlflca
tion papers, police registration, or any
other, red tape is necessary. But the
same length of travel In this' con
tinent of many nations would neces
sitate eight or ten languages, hours
spent tin line at Consular offices, many
red stamps and great irritation. The
writer was refused entrance to Den
mark, which was not in the war, be
cause his passport did not have the
stamp of the Danish consul in Berlin
which is the capital of a country that
was In the war. This despite the
neatly engraved passport of Charles
Evans Hughes, issued by the state
department and requesting all who
read to "let the bearer pass freely.'

An American was waiting his turn
before the exchange wmaow oi a
European bank.
"Let's see " he said. "What kind of
money do they have in Denmark? Oh,
yes. kroner. Huh. same ining mney
have in Holland and Austria."
For a minute or two he oigestea
this somewhat erroneous remarn.
Then he added, petulantly:
Gosh, but it s a nuisance to travel
in Europe what with their money,
their language and their blamed
passports!"
This remark came to me during a
summer of suffering from these same
grievances, and it put the cornerstone
to a growing arch of incidents col
lected along the way. Two months
before. I sat one evening on the steps
of a little inn in Rheims, chatting
with the proprietress. Among the
opening remarks which always are
addressed to every traveler every
here, she eventually asked:
"And where are you going from
here?"
'To Germany, I replied.
Oh!" she said. Then, baring her
teeth ever so little looking just the
least bit like a dog about to growl,
she' inquired further:
"Is It necessary?
Is it necessary! This woman lived
In France, and to her it seemed not
only unnecessary but more or less In
comprehensible that any one should
want to go into Germany. Perhaps
she had not yet forgotten . the fact
that great beams were at that mo
ment propping up the dining-room
ceiling and that the putty was not at
that moment dry In the patched-up
bullet holes In the walls. So when
she spoke of the country which had
done these things to her, her hu
manity took on the wolf note.
A week later found me in Coblenz
on the Fourth of July. The Ameri
can soldiers, who run the town as
completely as they ever ran any dug
out In the battle fields, were mak
ing merry in the streets with a rous
ing old-time celebration of an Ameri
can Fourth. Skyrockets whizzed and
sputtered up and down the street,
level with the pedestrians' waists,
and extremely potent firecrackers
blew up every few minutes In the
lobby of the hotel nearest the firing
line. This had been going on for 48
hours without intermission, and all
German nerves were stretched to the
breaktng point.
Of a sudden, a double-sized cannon
cracker exploded under the cashier's
desk, and the hotel rocked. When
the smoke had cleared away, the
clerk, something of the old-style
Prussian, wore on his face the set
smile of one who is determined to
smile at any cost.
"Cheer up," said an American, "it
soon will be over."
"Yes," he answered. "We must be
patient. We try to be very patient
with all our visitors.
And there was in his grin as he
spoke exactly the same hint of sav
agery that the woman in Rheims had
shown. What he said was, "We try to
be patient with all our visitors
What lie evidently meant was, "The
devil take you and all other foreign
era."
Another straw. There is in Berlin
an excellent official of the German
foreign office whose job it is to dis
pense information on what the for
eign office Is doing. Naturally, he
has been chosen for his position, be
cause, among other things, he has a
charming manner and a knowledge of
wnat to say, and when to say and
when not to say it. In the course of
a discussion as to why the reichstag
nan lost some two-score votes since
the war because of the loss of terri
tory, he came to the subject of
Schleswig-Holstein.
uenmarK, ne said, "till then a
nice, gentlemanly little country, came
along with its claim for German
land.
Nothing in that remark as vou read
it; but there was a world of meaning
in nis voice as.ne said it. Once again

ana me coblenz porter; even the
trained diplomat couldn't always keep
masked his feelings on the subject of

.'
i wo otner straws followed each
otner in quick succession on a train
up in Mecklenburg. A Belsrian. ntlll
nursing a leg where a German bullet
had shattered it in 1914, summed up
his thoughts on Germany thus:
"The trouble with the Germans is
that they always think themselves
first in everything. They think they

Sooner or later in everv mnvru

will crop out. Imagine an American

Canadians or Mexicans. The French
eye tne uermane askance, the Ger
mans -try to be patient with their
visitors," tne Italians watch th
Austrians, the Poles the Germans, and
each of them stays up late wondering
Jut what the others are about to do
next.
In America, a casual conversatio
with a traveling acquaintance will
run to pontics, weather, baseball,
crops, the market. In Europe, ver
soon after starting, it will run to th
neighboring nations. If then you give
it any encouragement, you are quite
likely to receive a surprising earful
of ancient grudges. A well-informed
and up-to-date man in Frankfort pro
duoea tnis, lor example:
"Least of all we like the French,
tor wnicn we nave good reason. Nex
we put the English. The Americans
we like perhaps best of the three,
even though America did deceive us
seriously about the peace. You talk
about the Lusitania and the subma
rine sinkings, but we talk about the
14 points and we think the score is
even. All of you together have
brought Germany to the condition in
whiich she is today. Who knows when
the next war will be? Perhaps 20
years. It will be more than that, of
course, before Germany can start
one."

AMERICA REARING CHINA
Menace to Britain Seen by Far-
Eastern Correspondent.
LONDON. A solemn warning on
the menace to Britain of the "Amer
icanization of China" is uttered by a
pecial far-eastern correspondent of
the Daily Mail, who recently attended
the 10th anniversary celebration of
the American Indemnity (Tsing Hua)
college In Pekin.
The college was established as a
result of the United States remitting
part of its share of the Boxer indem
nity.
"The boys here are Chinas future
leaders," the correspondent says, and
fter pointing out that they all go to
America after completing their
tudies in Pekin, he continues:
"Educated under the American sys-
em, aware that they owe their schol
arship to American justice, and satu
rated with American sentiment by
five to eight years' residence in the
United States, they will look to
America solely for co-operation in
the troublous years to come. Amer
ica is rearing the China of tomorrow.
Why should not we" (the Brit
ish) he demands, "share an Influence
that we formerly monopolized and
that is now slipping away from us?"
and he goes on
I asked a returned student as we
watched the boys at baseball why
China did not look to England as an
educational field.
Sure we will." he replied, "when
you remit the Boxer indemnity."
The Chinese president of the col
lege put.lt to the correspondent this
way:
"Chinese-American friendship has
become so proverbial that few people
take the, trouble to investigate the
cause of such good international un
derstanding. Any country that
wisnes to captivate the hearts of the
Chinese can do no better than follow
the example set by America."
B. Lenox-Simpson, an englishman
who holds the post of political ad
viser to the Chinese government and
who is at present In London, writes
BY ANITA DE CAMPI.
SOMETIMES a house, like an indi
vidual, has a whole group of un
usual characteristics. When this
happens the result is always interest
ing, and when the characteristics are
pleasAit ones the attractiveness is
quite beyond the power of conven
tional qualities.
In tbe case of this house the un
usual features are pleasant. The con
trast between the brick of the first
story and the light stucco of the sec
ond is one of these. Another is the
fine sunporch at the side, placed so
as to give privacy, and yet let the in
mates command a view'of both street
and garden. Another is the grouping
and treatment of entrances.
The main entrance is at the front
and right-hand side, under a square
hood. Down the side a little ways, un
der another hood of the same kind. Is
the eexvice entrance, and the space
between is -paneled with stucco and
timber. The effect Is not only unex
pected, but charming to a degree.
Climbing the steps under the shel
tering hood, you come to a little re
cessed entryway, which opens on a
vestibule. At the left of this is the
bread opening to the living room, 11
feet by 18. The ample fireplace Is on
the inside long, wall, opposite a fine
group of windows, and at the oppo
site end from the vestibule French
doors open onto the sun porch. This
is 8 feet by 10, with three sides com
posed almost entirely of glass. It is
not only a delightful place in itself.
but greatly increases the apparent
size of the living room.
Between the fireplace and the sun

leading by the stairs that go to the
upper story. The dining room is 11
feet square and lighted from two
sides. No butler's pantry intervenes
between this and the roomy kitchen,
which likewise has cross ventilation.
The sink Is under one window, the
table under another, and there are
two large cabinets. The refrigerator
is in the kitchen, but can be filled
from the service porch. This adds
handlness for the housewife to the
advantage of keeping the Iceman's
tracks out of the house.
The side, or service, entry Is a
small but much-used part of the house.
It leads to the outdoors, to the base
ment, and, by way of a closet, with
hooks for coats and wraps on either
side, to the vestibule and front door.
Also it allows the children, in muddy
weather, to get into the house and
deposit their rubbers without carry-

ing water and mud into the living
room.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of
them larger than is usual in a house
of this size. All three have closets
and cross ventilation. There is like
wise a large bathroom, a linen closet,
and a laundry chute. A low attic over
the house aids in keeping cool in sum
mer and warm In winter.
The house is of frame construction,
with brick veneer on the lower story
and stucco above. If this stucco and
the Inside plaster are laid on metal
lath and the roof covered with as
phalt, asbestos, or metal shingles, the
house will be strongly fire-resistive,
as well as nearly proof against decay.
Seldom, indeed, is so much beauty
and livableness wrapped up in one
package, and that a small one. This
house is only 24 by 29 feet, not count
ing the sun porch. Yet it contains all
that 's required for a comfortable,
easy life for a fair-sized family, put
up in beautiful, convenient and at
tractive form.
Americanization of China is a very
real one.
"Big business." he says, "Is tending
to go more and more to American
firms, because the Chinese believe in
favoring those who favor them," and
he concludes: t
"The helpfulness of America, not
only to young China but also to old
China Is a subject of common con
versation, throughout the immense
Chinese society which fills the far
eastern continent. So far the results
of this have not been felt or under
stood In this country, but unless we
take speedy action, we are destined
to drop during the next 12 months to
third or fourth place in the Chinese
republic, and thereby , affect our
whole standing throughout Asia."
Irrigation Project Begun.
ROME. An immense irrigation
project is under consideration for the
province of Puglle. in south Italy.
It is planned to use the water from
the rivers Fortore and Bifanto to
furnish enough moisture for a
stretch of territory now arid and
practically useless the entire year.
The land aggregates 640,000 acres
and If developed Is expected to grow
wheat, barley, corn and oats. The

Black. 3. 26; king. 18. White. 19. 32: king
2. While to draw: 2-6. 26-31. 32-28, 31-27,
etc. At this point Mr. Pollard plays 18-23.
19-15. 3-7 and wins for black. No draw.
Mr. P. writes that be was recently play
ing Mr. Embleton. mho Is well known
among the checker fraternity of Portland,
and this position came up in one of the
games: Black. 3. 20. 21. 2: kings. 23. 27.
White. 14. 28. 30: kings. 5. 7. 10. Black
to move 23-18 and win. I had the white
side, knew I was in a loss but when
was played by Mr. Embleton I was. greatly
relieved. It makes a magnificent problem
for the fans to work out.
