SILENT ON GREAT WAR
One Man's Opinion on Out
come as Good as That of
Another, He Says,
OPPORTUNITIES ARE SEEN
SumU, la Particular, ! Bald to Bi I
TUld Worthy of Cultivation by
mrlcta Mrtfcturr.
The outcome of the European war
Is any mati'a gutna and the opinion of
one is as Rood aa that of another.
8o saya Samuel Hill, who has Just
returned from a trip around the
world.' Mr. Hill declined to express
his personal opinion. According to
hla best information, Germany had
harvested a good crop, was well sup
plied with food and waa still capable
of strenuous action.
As to battlefields, Mr. Hill aaw
none. The only suggestion of actual
combat he witnessed was the appear
ance of two submarines In the North
eea while crossing from Sweden to
England.
Felt Trifle Indisposed.
"It waa the only lime on the whole
trip," said Mr. Hill, "that 1 felt the.
leant bit Indisposed."
Mr. Hill left Portland June 13 In
pursuance of his appointment as hon
orary consul general of Belgium for
Oregon, Washington and Idaho to
inquire into reported conditions of
Belgium refugees in Japan and Rus
sia. He sailed for Yokohama on the
Empress of Russia from Vancouver,
B. C, June 15. On his arrival in Ja
pan he found that the Belgian ref
ugees were supporting themselves
, and not In need of assistance.
From Yokohama, Mr. Hill proceeded
to Tsuruga and thenice to Vladivos
tok. Great Changes la Japan.
Speaking of Japan, Mr. Hill said: "I
found great changes had taken place
within tlic last two vears."
' Mr. Hill makes light of the threat
ened "Vfellow Peril," suylng that the
Japnese everywhere ure friendly to
Americans. While In Japan he was
the guest of Baron Kondo, R. Masu
Jlma and Baron Huzuki. He also had
a long conference with Baron Kato,
the premier of Japan.
Mr. Hill had known these men
many years and hud great pleasure In
renewing old friendships. He noticed
quite; a large tourist travel through
out Japan. Many Americans shut out
of Europe by the war were making
purchases.
Service to Japan Good.
"Travel conditions between this con
tinent and Japan," Mr. Hill said, "are
of the best character and the service
surpasses anything to be found else
where on the high seas."
. From Tsuruga Mr. Hill traveled on
ene' of Hha boats of the Russian Vol
unteer fleet. At Vladivostok he was
received by the governor-general of
the province of Prlmorsk, or Amur.
From there lie went direct to Petro
grad, where he met his old friend,
avid K. Francis, the distinguished
citlxen of Missouri, and one of its
former governors who successfully
directed the St. l,ouis exposition. Mr.
Francis is now the American ambas
sador at Petrograd and according to
Mr. Hill, Is doing more than any other
man . to promote friendly relations
with Russia.
Prloea Triple la Petrograd,
Of conditions in Petrograd Mr. Hill
aid: "Prices have Increased about
three times and the city is full of
refugees from eastern Europe and
western Asia."
Returning by way of Finland. Lap
land, Sweden, Norway, England and
France. Mr. Hill had an excellent
opportunity to Judge of conditions,
having friends and acquaintances in
all these countries.
"Sweden Is distinctly pro-German."
said he. "Norway Is distinctly pro
Ally." In London Mr. Hill found condition
much changed since he was there las:
May.. The two liveliest cities he
found anywhere were Petrograd and
New York. There was also great ac
tivity In Stockholm, owing to the
large number of Germans there.
Glad to Gat Horn.
Mr. Hill said he was glad to get
back 1o the United States and that
lie had found no country in the world
like the Pacific coast.
"It was like a breath of heaven,"
said Mr. Hill, "to have the overland
train of about 11 cars stop at Mult
nomah falls and be told that five
minutes would be allowed for pas
'nengers to get out and view the
cenery."
From the porter of his sleeping
rar Mr. Hilil derived much valuable
.Information regarding the construc-
' tlon of the Columbia river highway.
European Xoads Neglected.
Owing to the war, the European
roads were being- neglected because
of lack of men to maintain them. Mr.
Hill said, and they are getting in bad
hape. A great deal of reconstruction
work will be necessary after the war
to restore them. One of the greatest
lessons of the war, he continued, is
.the necessity of good roads for mili
tary operations. Their value in facil
. Hating rapidity of movement and con
centration of troops and munitions he
declared incalculable.
"We should profit by this lesson,"
aid he, "and In our program of na
tional defense at once begin the con
struction of a highway along our
toast line for military and commer
cial purposes. Suppose, In case of
war, our fleet was at the Panama
canal and started to repel an attack
on the Oregon or Washington coast.
A fleet could sail from Japan, for In
stance, and reach our coast one day
ahead of our fleet."
' Sees Opportunities in Bnasla.
Aftr the war Is over there will be
a great opportunity for the develop
ment of commercial relations with
P.ussla, In Mr. Hill's opinion, and in
this development the Pacific north
west should share. "Russia and the
United States have the two -greatest
areas of food land in the world. It
-seems strange that we have neglected
the development of our relations with
Ttussia. Siberia Is a vast, undevel
oped empire. Portland should be
-awake to the opportunities there; Ship
lines should be established and a trade
built up."
H Mr. Hill left for Seattle last night.
