"'Reggie Stewart describes the pro ' ce and he knows. He was In Port ' land yesterday on his way home to San Jose, Cal., following two years ! spent in training, at the front and In ! hospital. He Is Australian by birth. Ilia left forearm is seared and scarred where a soft-nosed bullet found Its mark at Festurburt and there la a hole in his shoulder. The arm is all right, but the shoulder till troubles. Stewart got his dis charge because of It. I'Two years ago he left Ran Jose for' Victoria, B. where he enlist ed In the Thirteenth battalion. A few months of training and he found him self drilling on Salisbury plain in Jin gland. Meningitis and other epidemic Ills' Sot a time played almost as much havoc as war. Pneumonia -took a num ber of them. At last sufficiently In ured and hardened they went to the continent, first In the trenches at Neuve Chapelle, then at Ypres and finally at Festurburt. )i . :r Attack Comes as Burp rise. Stewart was with the Canadian con tingent In April of last year when the Germans launched their first gas at tack of the war at Ypres. (lie pro nounced it Wipes after the manner of Tommy Atkins.) "It took us completely by surprise," lie aald yesterday. "It was something entirely new, unexpected and terrible Which we did not know how to combat. "I was In the rear at the time and -ao-dld not suffer from the gas. it loomed ahead of our trenches, a great green cloud coming over a hill. The men thought it was the smoke from a fir until It descended among them, r "The Algerians on the line turned and fled In fright after the fumes be gan to work among them. Their offi cers exhorted them to stop but It was Useless. We were even ordered to fir on them to check their rush. German Come en Masse. "Following the asphyxiating gases Came the Germans In u terrific attempt to puncture the line. The Canadian troops bore the brunt of the attack and were fearful losers. Of the 1100 men In my battalion only 250 were left at the battle's close. .V: "In the face of the attack our offi cers urged us to fight to save England. ' It they break through, our colonel told U, the Germans will be free to sweep on.' to Calais. This knowledge spurred Us on and how the Canadians fought is now history. J "With my battalion decimated I waa assigned to the Sixteenth Canadian Scottish after Ypres. Our next sta tion was at Festurburt and here early In the big attack I was wounded." n. Trench life is far from being ideal, according to Stewart. - "For grub you have bully beef and dog" biscuit," he said, and then in an swer to an inquiring look, explained, . -Chicago beef and hardtack." Hot Tea When Obtainable. "Each man takes 48 hours' rations to the trenches and Is served hot tea, "stews and the like from the rear ""when It is feasible to do so. The men coming up with the tea are often : V i : v seek musical education I gMSMaflBN1 Iagj3BEgj3iai """""" mum minimi g v- , xr ' I ySi : J2rjJ- William Simonson (at left) ; Two Portland youths who have musical talent are promised a musical education if they will tret to New York city. They are . William Simonson. formerly of Jefferson high school, and Kenneth Ilollister, formerly of the Lin coln high school. The first named lives at 30 North Seventeenth street, and the latter at 775 Ivon street. The two young men will travel on foot and expect to pay their way with songs and special acts in the local theatres of the towns they visit. The start will be made from the Portland hotel Sun day noon. May 7, and the general route will be up the Columbia highway to Hood River, continuing through the spotted by the Germans, who begin a shell fire among them, and nine times out of ten they have to drop the tea und beat it for cover. "I have seen them pick up the spilled pieces of a stew from the ground after one of these attacks and bring the mess to the trenches. Just the same. It was better to bring It dirt-covered as it was than not to bring it at all. "To be in a trench means to be covered with lice and vermin. They are like hen houses. There is no way of cleaning them and no matter how clean one may be when he enters, his person is soon infested. "When the men go off their spell in a trench they go behind the lines and bathe in wine vats full of hot water, vats large enough to hold 50 men at a tlajae. Clean clothes are issued and all Is well until the next turn at the trenches." American Worses In England. Stewart was in half a dozen Eng lish hospitals before being discharged. There are a number of American nurses caring for wounded there, he reports. "Nothing oould be finer than the treatment given the English soldier in hospital." he said. Indian troops have proven unsuc cessful on the western front, accord ing to Stewart, because of the climate and their inadaptlblllty to trench war fare. "The Sthks and the Ghurkas want to fight close up." he declared. They can t stand potting from a trench. Many of them would stick a knife In their teeth and crawl away into the night toward the German lines never to be seen again." Canada has furnished S02 battalions pf 1100 men each, Stewart declared, and she will follow with conscription if England leads the way. Jomelli Weds Her Business Manager Well-Known Portland Prima Donna and Orrtn Baokrus Married ; Couple Start East Kext Tuesday. When Mme. Jomelli starts for the east next Tuesday, it will be as a bride. When news leaked out yester day that she had wedded her business manager, Orrln Backus, It excited lit tle surprise, however, because rumors had long been rife that such a ro mance was in the air. Mr. Backus admitted yesterday that Mme. Jomelli is now Mrs. Backus, but he would vouchsafe no further de tails as to when or where, Mr. and Mrs. Backus expect to visit several eastern cities, returning to Portland after their trip. The prima donna soprano is' planning, however, to go to New York in the autumn.

The Illrsch - Weiss Manufacturing company has just .been awarded a con tract to furnish 459 tents and 100 can vas flies to the Alaska Engineering commission for the use of employes on the new Alaska railroad.

Opposition Against Viaduct Is Voiced Multnomah Commercial Club Vote Op poses Overhead Crossing Plan by Harrow Margin. Opposition to the plan of building a viaduct across the Oregon Electrlc's tracks at Multnomah station was voiced at the last meeting of the Mult nomah Commercial club. The vote was 20 to 18 against the proposed Improve ment. Advocates of tH"e viaduct argue that the crossing is highly dangerous be cause of the larKe number of trains that pass and because of the cut through which the track passes. The plan is to build the overhead crossing with hardsurfaced approaches. Half the expense would be borne by the rail road company and half by the prop erty owners. Carnie Wrote It.

Ililllllllllll! hoe Store ton & Alder REMEDIAL LOAN HAS E TO ENLARGE SCOPE Association to Fighf'Sharks" Has Prosperous Year, Giv ing Much Aid to Needy, LOANS MOSTLY SMALL Practically Ho Ziosses Have Arisen From Seller Given to Patrons of Semi-FuDlio Institution. Because of need of more room In which to transact its business and meet the public, and as Ben Selling, the president of the association, says, better to wage war on the loan shark, the Portland Remedial Loan associa tion has removed to 394 Stark street, on the north side of the Pittock block. The association began business Feb ruary 1, 1914, and since that time has loaned $179,936 to 6176 patrons, an average loan of $29.14. The highest amount loaned to any one person has been 300, but the association rarely loans up to this amount. The time of payment will vary from one week to two years, the latter class keeping up small monthly payments without "pushing." On May 1 the association had out standing $64,549 in loans, showing that repayments totaling $115,387 have been made The association charges a flat 'I per cent interest per month, which includes services for which other loan ing agencies charge fees and commis sions. Repayments are made by the borrowers on the partial payment ba sis, the interest stopping as the prin cipal of the debt is reduced. The losses to date have been $800, which Is less than 4 of 1 per cent of the total amount loaned. Dividend in July. The company has a capital stock of $100,000. of which $50,000 is paid up. On February 1, 1915, the company paid the stockholders each 6 per cent In terest on the funds they had paid in to the company. It will pay its first regular dividend on July 1. This will equal six per cent on the paid up stock. The stockholders look upon their in terest in the association is a business enterprise and not charity. The com pany will endeavor, during the comihg year, to dispose of the $50,000 addi tional etock. "This institution is primarily a busi ness one," said Mr. Selling, "but it nat urally, through its manager, performs an immense amount of social service which cannot be recorded on the books. It has not only helped many very poor people who have been accommodated with loans on their meager chattels, but it has helped a great many strang ers who have come to the city with household goods and practically no money, to save themselves from be coming public charges. But its prin cipal service In the broad public way is in saving the worthy poor from the iban shark, and it has saved them at least $35,000 in this way. We have enlarged our quarters so the people who want to come tus can be taken care of properly and we shall be glad to loan to worthy persons to the limit of our funds and always keep them busy." Officer of tli Association. The officers of the association are: Ben Selling, president; A. H. Devers and William D. Wheelwright, vice presidents; Wilfrid P. Jones, secretary treasurer. The members of the board of directors Include also J. F. Daly, Ira F. Powers, Jonah B. Wise and Wil liam F. Woodward.

"Photoville has been such a hit in Portland," said Mr. Cohn yesterday, "that it is conclusively shown to be the form of amusement the public de sires good vaudeville and pictures at a modest price. "We had a wonderfully successful opening in Spokane, ushering In Pho toville with three bands, a big parade and a 'display of aerial fireworks. Spokane accorded a most enthusiastic reception."

Rose City Park ji6 New Mode of Living In Northern China Washington, May 6. (I. N. S.) United States Commercial Attache Ar nold, at Peking, has made a discovery. He has found Chinese who do not eat rice nor fish and live in cities with broad streets and comfortable build ings. He has found a country where wheat bread, and beef and mutton, American style, are the chief foods for Yah Sing Wun's and Al Lun Sun's tables. In the provinces of Shansi, Shensl and Kansu, sitting back in the isolated sections of the northwest country, there are thousands of acres of -land planted in wheat, Indian corn, alfalfa, millet and cotton. Although the land has been cultivated for thousands of years, it still produces from 30 to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre. He says that when railroad transportation la built for this section one of the richest regions of China will be opened to for eign markets. Places to House Suffragists Puzzles .Chicago. May 6. (I. N. S.) The serious question of how to house the 50,000 woman suffrage cru saders who are expected to swoop down on Chicago during the na tional Republican convention in June confronts woman suffrage enthusiasts here.

The rail roads, too, wilKbe asked to park a num- I ber of Pullmans tor use of the women.
