According to Mr. I.ang there are very few ourig men remaining .in western Canada, as the majority have answered the call to arms and are now at the front.

NATIONAL GUARD TO HOLD OURNAMENT T 3 PAYS NEXT MONTH Exhibition Will Show Pur poses of Various Branches of Organized Militia, Weather Hulges Favnnont. j Oregon City, Or., Dec. 21. The heavy rainfall during the last e weeks has caused bulges to appear in the new , pavement along Main street, these Ivr- ' dering on the Pelgia.ii blocks of the car , track of the Portland Railway, Light; & Power company and now threaten ' to damage the hard surface. While j employes of the Portland Railway. Light & Power company were repair ing the tracks recently, they were s.ir ressfi'.l In removing some of the bulges by using hot applications and then us ing a weight. C. A. Miller, city engineer, stated on Monday that he attributes the bulges in the pavement to the fact that the foundation of the Belgian blocks ex tends under the pavement about six inches on each side of the car track, j The action of the foundation, coupled i with the moving sand and water be- i neath, while the cars are passing, is believed to cause these flaws. The railway company will make the neces- sary repairs at once, following a plan suggested by Mr. Miller. !

Henry Ford, who conceived the mission of getting the boys out of the trenches by Christmas. Is ill In bed. possibly in a serious condition. Until he recovers, the pcace party will re main at Christiana Meanwhile, public sentiment has veered sharply In favor of the 1 'e troiter. Tliev don't poke fun at him, though newspapers "Joshed" his dele gates 1 today. particularly criticizing Madame Schwimmer, Hungarian Of ( 'd, they said that he is an admirable personal i t y. The Aftenposten accused Madame S- hwimmer of cabling from New York to an Imaginary peace committee in Furope for the purpose of fooling the other delegates. The Tidensteg, a leading paper, called lord "Another Tolstoy,',' but ' declared that he brought only his per- I sonallty which was insufficient to a -complish l is great task. ! "His I'hildilke faith will he remem bered lung after his mission is for gi. tten," observed the Tidensteg. It was learned today that spies have been sent here by the belligerents to ascertain whether an ulterior motive prompted the peace party. , A delegation of Norwegian advo cates of peace is certain to join Ford. Last night CuoO persons attended a ' meeting under the auspices of the Ministers' society. As Lev. Dr. Charles F.

The annual military tournament will be given by the Oregon National Guard at the Armory at S p. in., January 12, 13 and 14. 1UJ6. The organizations participating In i this military exhibition will Include all of the infantry, artillery, cavalry ami the naval militia stationed In Itii city. The program will cover a per iod of two hours of constant changing set nes show ing military life and the work now leing done by toe National Guard and Naval Militia. The Infantry forms the greater part of tile organized militia. Kfflclent infantry must always keep itself in good physical condition, know how to care for Itself In the field; and be able to attack under all conditions borh by fire and with the bayonet. The exhibit Illustrates part of the training necessary to secure efficiency. The artillery with Its fire prepares the way, supports the atttar-k and as sists m the pursuit of the enemy. In retreat It serves as a rallying point for the discomforted troops, and holds ifs place even at the risk of loss of its guns to gain time for them to recover. The cavalry scours the country In front of the arfy to secure Informa tion and prevent surprise by the ene my. In attack It guards the flanks and acts mounted or dismounted as occasion offers. In retreat It delays the hostile advance if necessary to the extent of sacrificing itself. The medical corps is charged with the sanitation of the camp, the care of the sick, and the evacuation of the battle field of its wounded. The coast artillery is charged with the care and use of the fixed and movable, elements of land and coast fortifications. including eub-marlne, mine and torpedo defense. The naval militia mans the men-of-war that patrol the coast to prevent the landing of hostile forces and that meet the hostile naval force to de termine command of the sea. In a var of nations the naval force forms the first line of defense. No exhibition of this character has even been staged In the city of Portland. Exposing the pages of books to sun light occasionally will prevent ohem becoming yellow. Cosmopolitan according to the dictionary, means Belonging to all parts of the world, unre stricted socially, politically or intellectually. According to more than a million clear eyed, keen minded American citizens each month it means ' The greatest collection of good reading that can be bought." Cosmopolitan isn't an accident. It is the kind of magazine that is inevitable when it is the product of men each of whom has to his credit the summit of story-telling, information-giving or picture-making success before he began working for it. The newest acquisition is Owen Johnson author of "The Varmint," "Stover at Yale," "The Salamander." Don't miss the first installment of his latest story The Woman Gives Owen Johnson, by the way, now writes ex clusively for Cosmopolitan.

I Aiitbor and KdJtor.l Christiana, Pec. 21. i I. N. ?.) De spite Mine. Sehvvinirner's efforts to secure an audience for Henry Ford an 1 his party with ftp king, they will not he received and no official recognition of any kind will be accorded them in Norway. I learn that the foreign office and the king resented the published state ments emanating from Ftord headquar ters regarding Norway's attitude. Feeling Is strong here that the mis sion Is a failure, owing to blundering management. I have learned that W. J. Bryan Is purely coming to The Hague. This doubtless accounts for the resolution adopted b- the Ford party opposing Increased armament by America. New Resolution Adopted. The statement opposing Wilson's national defense program almost dis rupted the party, leading delegates having declined their suggestion. Last night a new resolution was adopted declaring the peace pilgrims favored disarmament with a single view to peace. This replaces the former state ment. Norwegian Journalists meeting the Ford party declared that Norway Is cold to present peace plans, but eager for a decisive outcom of the war. Progressive and socialist elements favor peace. Feeling Is strong here for an in crease In the national defense to main tain neutrality. Ford's personality is considered captivating, but the Ford plans are held to be. vague and mainly a matter of boundless faith. Split Made Ford 111. The floating Chautauqua debating pocietles are discussing all the prob lems under the sun. Friction between the newspaper men and Ford has been temporarily removed Ford was con fined to his cabin for a week after the Bryanitian platform split of the dele gates. N The automobile magnate has studied the Wilson preparedness measure and is interested In the transportation problem It Involves. He says he will submit a plan to the president for solving the problem of reducing the stze. of engines more than Half. H-i will elaborate his plan after hl3 peac-i mission Is successful. Mr. Ford is still determined on spending all his fortune In securing peace and disarmament. Official Kecognltion Denied. Last night's meeting here of the University association wa9 Impressive but the press treats the mission light ly, some newspapers ridiculing the plan and criticising Mme. Schwlmmer. I understand the reception In other neutral countries will be similar. No official recognition will be given by neutral governments, fearing mis understandings. Though the mission of the Ford party is Intended to show the fallacy and injustice of secret diplomacy in international affairs and how It leads to war, many connected with the mis sion believe that secret diplomacy among Ford's counsellors is Jeopardiz ing its success, creating friction and rousing antagonism.
