Tne cnua alo-once had been committed to the HEAD OF THE "Strike or No, Train Men Will Helpjn Case of War,' He Declares, Railway trainmen of Portland are Indignant at the attack made upen their patriotism by the Oregonlan in a recent editorial wnicn alleged mac the railroad employes of the country by contemplating the possibility of a nation-wide strike at this time were In effect threatening to harass the gov ernment in the Mexican crisis through possible inability to Handle troop trains in case of war. "There is no class of men In tin United States more loyal, or truer Americans, than the railroad men of the country," said one of the promi nent officials of the trainmen's or ganization Saturday. "No matter what happens as between the employes and the companies, I am safe in say ing that the men will be always ready and willing to render every aid pos sible to the government in the hand ling of troops and supplies. "At the time of the Vera Cruz oz. cupatlon In 1913, the controversry be tween the railroad men and the com panies over the eight hour day was more acute than at present, and at that time, the chief of the enginemen's order tendered to the use of the government authorities the services of li00 enginemen who were willing and anxiuos to volunteer for service in operaiing engines xor tne govern ment in Mexico. "That does not look like the rail road men are lacking in patriotism. particularly when you stop to think of the certain danger into which an engine crew runs, at the head . of a troop train, in a hostile land. "The other day," the speaker con tinued, "when the government desired four men to operate engines in Mex ico, who were familiar with Mexican roads and the Mexican language, 250 men came forward and asked to be al lowed to serve. "1 have no authority to speak for the national organizations," the speak er concluded, "but I know that In the event of a war, strike or no strike, the American railroad men will be found at their posts of duty helping the gov ernment to the utmost "of their strength and ability in the trans portation of troops, munitions or sup plies, or in any other way possible in support of the government."

Ten days of wet weather following the short dry spell which characterized the middle of June gives promise that July will be a satisfactory month from a fire-protective standpoint. Reports received from northwestern states by the Western Forestry and Conservation association show that during June over 100 fires occurred in slashings and old logging works with out damage to green timbar. Being followed by soaking rains, it Is gener ally conceded that the June fires, al though destroying some logging equip ment, will prove of benefit rather than otherwise, since they eliminated sev eral danger points. Washington had 50 fires during June, all of them being slashing fires. Idaho had few fires during June Oregon reports 60 fires during the short hot spell In June. No loss of green timber was sustained, and only slight loss of logs. Cooperative ar rangements with tne federal govern ment for protection of Oregon and California grant lands are being de layed, pending the passage of the sun dry civil bill which carries the appro priation for this work. Reports from Montana indicate weather conditions similar to those In other northwestern states. Patriotism Defined By Rev. Pettersen Pastor of United Vorweglaa Lutheran Church Urges People to Aid la Working Out Human Destiny. "A patriotism -which would lead men to sacrifice tbeir own selfish interests for the good of the whole nation is In that respect religious." said Rev. Wil- helm Pettersen, pastor of the United! Norwegian I-utheran church. Four teenth and Davis streets, in hla ser mon yesterday morning. "But true partiotlsm Is more than that. It Is also watchful of dangers, and it meets those dangers rather than let things drift." Continuing, Rev. Mr. Pettersen said: "Hero in this country God has not given us such wonderful opportunities and vast resources that we might sink lower, but rather that we should mount higher. We have practically everything that man could want. The question is are we working out a bet ter human destiny here? If not, God's purpose has failed. "We, as people of foreign birth can bring to our new country the best we have, the best Instincts and customs of our race, and thereby aid in the working out of the areat and nohla destiny of this country."

Baby home MEETING IS ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL ARMENIAN RELIEF FUND APPEAL IS Christians Said to Be Suffer ing From Persecutions by the Turks. SELLING STATES CASE Wumbar of Larger Contributions, Have Baas Doubled la Response to Appeal. Armenian Christians are having an hard a time to live as are the Jewi of Russia and Gallcla. Massacre, rapine and plunder on the part of the Turkish Mohammedans have deci mated their numbers and rendered those left half dead from starvation and suffering. Throughout the United States, a movement is on foot to relieve these sufferings which the Turkish govern ment is making no effort to alleviate. Portland has contributed generously, but not sufficiently. Ben Selling, who is treasurer of the relief fund, an nounced today that the Armenians are In eorry plight Indeed, because, llko the Jews in Russia, they have been driven from their homes and occu pations, slaughtered and oppressed. with the eye of continental Europe so busy watching Us own belligerencies that It has no time to look out for humanity outside its own purview. Several days ago Mr Selling sent out a new appeal to the renerosltv at Portland people of large or small means. He pointed out that the need is great, that those who have already contributed should give more, because since their first gifts went forwarJ many Armenians have perished. He urged especially that persons of small means give small sums. In response to the appeal, several of the larger contributors who led the subscription list have duplicated their first subscriptions.
