, ..William Bailey, English mining en-
ftneer, ha arrived In Portland from
Liverpool and expects to be here ev-
ral wetks. lie has been try much
Intereated in the camDalsn to deepen
; the channel over the Columbia river
bar and furnished to the Port of Co
lumbia committee a ascription of the
Leviathan, the giant dredger used on
Meraey bnr by the Port of Liverpool,
which formed a banla for a petition
"to the United Htate government to
appropriate money for a similar vea
- el at the mouth of the Columbia. The
dredger campaign Will be renewed be-
fore the next congrehs.
Mr. Bullev nav that the rngllsh
have no more doCifot of the victory of I
. the allies In the present war than If
: the iHHueg were ulready settled.
Calmly, quietly, confidently, ne- says,
' Ihe feiigiiHh are proceeding In the bunl-
ness of war, shedding no tears as they
send their bent Hons to the front,
while thone who remain cheerfully
ahoulder the work burden both of the
war and of the absent ones in order
in nn.ininiK th r.mtlnp of buslnetia
and industry. '
"It Is true,' ai1 Mr. Bailey, "that
. the (Jerinatis feel bitter toward the
Kngllsh nvoro than others. The Ger
' muiiM would never have gone Into this
J-war had they thought that Kngland
would c-onie In. Kngland waa supposed
to be on the blink of a civil war with
. Its rister troubles. The German am-
- bunasiior admitted a he left for Ger-
- many that he would return to his own
. ttouulry in dUgraee. 'I advised the
' knlmr that lOnnlun.) could not BO to
war," he eonfessed.' j
; "PerhupH the least popular Kng
a land Just now are the 'little England
; ers' l,loyd-Ieorge and his crowd.
'Kngluud would- have had 2,000,000 men
- under arms and ready to go to the
' front had it not liecn for the 'little
.:. iCnglund,ers' Klogan, 'Peace at any
price.' It take Just such to harm
: the Interests of a country by shouting
nntf ranting In public places and draw
ing their comfortable salaries and
keeping away from the front at the
time of danger."
Shortly before Mr. Bailey left Eng-
land he visited a camp of German sol-
. dlern which was located on an ancient
.. battlefield. He saw the prisoners
come out under guard and load wood
s Into n motor truck. lie particularly
noticed a (Milan bend over and pick up
' a stick of wood.
' VI hapened to drop Into a moving
picture tlVHtre where war pictures
' were sdvertlHed Immediately after 1
had arrived In Portland," he continued.
, i Vhst was my surprise to see this
prisoners' camp flesh upon the screen,
, i to see the prisoners come out under
guard to gather wood and to note this
: same I'hlnn bending over to Dick un
,i. his stick of wood. It seemed to me as
i if through the magic of. the moving
picture a part or Kngland had been
brought along with me."
England Sees Much
; V Suffering of Poor
' Appeal Xs Made for Contributions of
' Clothing for Distribution Among the
Destitute.
"it is dtrrieult for those far away
i to appreciate what is golnj,' on In Kng
land. We have practically a half n
nation on our hands arid 90 per cent of
them are absolutely destitute; they
- have no money and no belongings of
