THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1918.
BIG PORTLAND-BOUND
STEAMSHIP LINE NOW
! RIG COAST AGENTS
Fritz Olson Incorporates New
Agency at San Francisco
to Handle Line.
TO VISIT PORTLAND SOON
Oeorge W. McWear, rormer Arnt, on
Blacklist of the British
Admiralty.
Ban Francisco. Oct. 19. (P. N. 8.)
The Norway-Pacific line agency filed
article of Incorporation here today to
handle the new steamship line which
la to be established between San Fran
cisco, Portland and lprweglan ports by
Fred Olson, Norwegian shipping king.
In the formation of the new agency
the local shipping world believes It
sees another of the multitudinous ef
fects of the new world wide British,
boycott. George W. McNear and Son,
the only local firm on the blacklist,
.had the Norway-Pacific line agency
here when an effort was made to es
tablish the service before the war la
1914. Olson then sent two or three
hips out here and these were han-
died by McNear.
It was presumed that the local firm
would handle the ships near until the
new agency was established. Along
the waterfront the theory now Is that
McNear had to surrender the busi
ness because of the taint his associa
tion would put upon It in the minds
of the British admiralty. Coal could
be refused at Brttlrfh porta, the ships
could be stopped In the North sea
and many other things done to ej
barrasa the owners.
The new agency la capitalised for
$25,000. The incorporators are Frits
8. Olson, son of Kred Olson, T. A.
Thatcher and William B. Acton.
Olson will leave here shortly for
Portland to establish an agency for
the line In that port also.
SHIPBUILDING DEALS ON?
Hardy and Knapp Confer With
Norwegian Capitalists.
Seattle, Wash., Oct. 19. (P. N. S.)
The presence here today of prominent
hip building men has given rise to
the rumor along the waterfront that
a big deal Is pending. William H. Todd,
president of the Todd ship yards cor
poration of New York, holding com
pany of the Seattle Construction and
Dry Dock company, is at the same ho
tel with L. Harboe Jensen, brother of
Peter Jensen, steamship operator of
Chrlstlania, Norway, and Louis Han
vig and Svord Jacobson, also of Nor
wa. Jensen and Hanvlg are said to be in
the market for wooden vessels. They
are believed to have had a lasting con
ference with F. C. Knapp of Portland,
Who represents a shipbuilding plant at
Bt. Johns, Or.
Also the presence of Henry T. Bul
len, shipbuilder of Victoria, and
George E. Hardy, also a shipbuilder of
Portland, aid the rumor.
MeCulloch Completes Cruise.
Port Townsend, Wash., Oct. 19. (P.
N. S.) The United States coast guard
cutter MeCulloch, aTter cruising 14,000
miles in five months in Alaskan wa
ters, is here today, at the end of her
journey. Captain H. M. Broadbent,
commander of the cutter fleet In the
Bering- sea, fume down on the MeCul
loch. The MeCulloch will leave soon
with a large amount of ship chandlery,
which has been accumulating for
delivery at San Kranclsco.
Auxiliary Plant Opens.
San Francisco, Oct. 19. Another
auxiliary plant to the shipbuilding in
dustries around San Francisco was
opened today. The George W. Kneass
company has completed an addition to
'Its shipyards for the, building of life
boats. Orders already have been re
oelved for 250 of the small craft from
the Union Iron Works and other large
shipyards. Kneass fias special patents

Norfolk, Va., Oct. 19. (U. ,P.) A
German submarine, possibly the U-53,
has been sunk off Nantucket, accord
ing to a message the British steamer
North Pacific claims to have received.
The North Pacific is taking on bunker
coal here today.
.Although she arrived here Monday
night from New Orleans, the North
Pacific did not report receiving the
message from what was said to be a
British cruiser until today. The mes
sage read:
"German submarine sunk east Nan
tucket." Officers of the North Pacific said
the cruiser was lying off this coast.
A London cable to the United Press
a few days ago said a sudden reduc
tion in Insurance rates on Transatlan
tic shipping by Lloyd's had areused
speculation as to whether the U-53
bad been sunk, captured or had re
turned to a German port. It being be
lieved that the reduction was ordered
because Lloyd's has received "inside
information."
To Search for Derelict.
Washington, Oct.' 19. (U. P.) The
Coast Guard Cutter Tampa has been
ordered from Charleston, S. C, to hunt
the derelict American schooner Dunn.
The coast guard service said today
this is the only vessel out on a search
and denied reports that a sunken sub
marine Is sought. '

cording to an Amsterdam dispatch
which quotes the Volks Zeitung, of
Cologne, as follows.
"German submarines will operate In
the future in the western Atlantic.
They will visit the well known ship
ping routes around the eastern point
of Nantucket Island and sink British
merchantmen after giving the crews
opportunity to save themselves."
Officials Discredit Story.
Washington, Oct.' 19. (U. P.) Re
ports that a German submarine pre
sumably the U-53 has been sunk off
Nantucket, were generally discredited
by navy officials this afternoon and
also discounted by British embassy of'
flclals.
No naval station along the Atlantic
coast picked up the alleged wireless
message mentioning such a sinking re
ported by officers of the British
steamer North Paclflo at Norfolk. It
was pointed out here that the captain
of the North Pacific was not men

story.
NEW YORK EVENING
POST HAS DEFINITELY
ABANDONED HUGHES
(Continued From Fag One.)
his campaign may now be regarded as
fixed. He can hardly make an essen
tial change In It before election.
"There Is no likelihood that any
thing will cause him to swerve from
It before November 7. Isolated flashes
of fire may come from him more fre
quently; but the main tenor of his
speaking will doubtless remain what It
has been. We need wait no longer to
pass Judgment on the character and
effect of his campaign for the presi
dency. "That It has been a woeful disap
pointment to his friends and admirers,
there can be no manner of doubt.
The evidence leaps Into one's face. On
all sides you discover the depression
which the Hughes speeches have
caused.
Xughes Ken Arc Dejected.
"On every side dejected Hughes "men
are to be encountered. They are going
to vote for him, most of them, but
they will do it without a particle of
enthusiasm. They nave not been
stirred or thrilled. More than that,
their intellectual expectation and crav
ing have not been met.
"The Hughes failure is, Indeed,
something like a calamity. We feel
Intellectually poorer. It is as If
props had been knocked from under
us. In no one can this reeling of
surprise and almost dismay be
stronger than in the Evening Post.
It Is not necessary to say what hopes
we pinned to Mr. Hughes. If others
are cast down by the result, we are
mora so. All that is left is sorrow
fully to speculate about the causes of
the great disappointment.
. Uses Hammer Only to "Knock."
"Carlyle's question might be put to
him: 'Hast thou only a torch to de
stroy? Hast thou no hammer with
which to bulldT Mr. Hughes has a
hammer, but he uses it only to
'knock every Democratic act or fail
ure to act.
"The sure consequence has been to
weary the country. People can't fore
ever be harking back to past blun
ders. They want to hear something
of future efforts. And in the whole
matter of passionate appeal, as of a
man with high vision of what is to be,
Mr. Hughes has come painfully short
He has been shooting squirts of vitriol
at the Democratic administration. He
has not freely poured out wine for
those whom he Invites to sit at his
table.
Has Xift Country Cold.
"Whatever may be the true reading
of the riddle of Hughes in this cam
paign, the effect of his course Is
known of all men. He may have of
fended nobody, but he has won nobody.
He has left the country cold. Thou
sands who were ready to be drawn to
him axe left halting between two opin
ions. Most of the votes cast for him
will be without seal or vivid anticipa
tion. The whole Is an extraordinary
thing, quite unforeseeable. The cam
paign In general cannot be said to
have been stimulating; Mr. Hughes'
part in it has been a positive de
pressant," A Spanish physician has developed

Oregon High Schools
Need Male Teachers
Sean of School of Education at State
University Says Jema&d la State
Greater Than the Supply.
University of Oregon, Eugene, Or,
Oct. 19. There are not enough qual
ified men going into high school teach
ing In Oregon to fill the demand. This
is. the opinion of Dr. H. D. Sheldon,
dean of the school of education at the
university, in spite of the fact that a
survey he has Just completed shows
twice as large a proportion of univer
sity men that intend to become teach
ers as there was five years ago.
The survey, covering the three upper
classes at the University of Oregon,
shows 67 men and 173 women who in
tend to teach.
GREK TROOPS TAKE
CHARGE IN
AND PRESERVE
King Constantine Appeals
Friends to Avert Riots
Country's Capital City,
to
in
Athens. Oct. 18. (Delayed.) (U.
P.) Greek troops are in complete con
trol of the situation here today, anti
ally mobs are being dispersed and for
the time being the possibilities of a
serious clash between civilians and
French marines seem to have been
averted.
The anti-ally leaders, however, are
continuing their attempts to organize
demonstrations and the crisis is by no
means past. It is understood that
King Constantine, following confer
ences with the British and French
ministers, sent' personal appeals to the
most prominent of his supoprters, urg
ing them not to stir up the Athens
crowds to acts of violence.
After his conference with the British
minister. King Constantine appeared
disposed to meet all the demands of
the allies, though no authorized state
ment has been issued. Vice Admiral
DuFournot, commander of the allied
fleet, declared after a conference with
the Greek premier and foreign minister
that he was hopeful that the situation
would improve.
The most severe military measures
are now in force to prevent trouble.
The collapse of reports that a
United States fleet was aproaching
Piraeus to intervene disheartened the
civilians and has helped restore order.
Newspaper extras were circulated
about the city by the anti-ally leaders,
reporting that American warships
would arrive within a few hours to see
that Greek neutrality was not violated
by the allies. These reports greatly
encouraged the mobs, thousands of
Greeks actually believing that they
would soon b Joined by American ma
rines. "It is with Joy that we hear of the
approaching arrival of the great Amer
ican fleet," said one of the newspapers
circulated by the royall3ts. "It brings
relief in the midst of our torments.
America resents the sorrows of the
Greek people and doubtless will pro
claim her reproof in a voice that will
resound across the sea."
The crowd that visited the American
legation to present an appeal for
American Intervention, learned that
tbese reports were Ill-founded and the
news spread quickly throughout
Athens.
The cabinet met today and, it Is re
ported, drafted a protest to the allies
against the arrest of Greek members
of the Reservest league by French
marines last night. A crowd of Re
servist leaguers hissed a patrol of
marines who dispersed them at the
point of the bayonet. Greek troops wit
nessed the arrest but did not interfere.
Serbians Occupy Brod.
Paris, Oct. 19. (I. N. S.) To light
en the steadily increasing pressure
against their flanks, the Bulgarians
launched a strong attack in the Lake
Dolran sector, today's statement from
the French war office on Balkan oper
ations said.
The attack was repulsed by the
troops holding the allied center.
Serbian forces have crossed the
Tcherna river southeast of Monastir,
the statement added, occupying Brod.
Train Leaves Track;
Engine Crew Killed
Manitowoc, 'Wis., Oct 1. (U. P.)
Train number 111, Milwaukee to Ash
land, on the Northwestern railroad,
was wrecked here early today and the
firemen and engineer killed when the
train Jumped the track and plunged
into a ditch. None of the passen
gers Was killed. Railroad men said
the wreck was caused by train wreck
ers. The motive is not known.
It was the fifth attempt in the last
five years to wreck the train. The
dead are:
Robert Fitzgerald, BO, engineer, Mil
waukee, scalded, and head crushed.
Albert Peschain, 30, fireman, Green
Bay.
The switch had been thrown and
the red danger light had been turned
around so as to show only the green
light. The engineer thought he had a
clear road and went ahead.

She came to Portland from France in
1878 and established herself in busi

great pride in her handiwork. The
steam laundries ultimately made- great
inroads on her business, but she re
tired with a small competence. Madam
Goffin was 76 years of age at the
time of her death and is survived by
a daughter, Mrs. Rose Terramorse of

To Put on Flesh

Most people eat from four to six
pounds of good, solid, fat-making food

is the nature of the individual. It
isn't nature's way at all.
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers of asstmflstion are de
