VOUCHERS FOR ARMY PURPOSES War Department Unable to Secure More Supplies on Credit; Offer Declined. Washington. March 27. (U. P. The federal reserve board, it was learned today, has ordered all federal reserve banks to cash all United States army quartermaster's vouchers held by gov ernment creditors, pending additional appropriations by congress. In a further announcement, the fed eral reserve board, it was also learned, has informed all member banks of the federal reserve system that the gov ernment will stand behind them and rediscount any vouchers at current 15 day discount rates. The action was taken when the war department faced inability to obtain further supplies on credit. Secretary of War Baker conferred with Secretary of the Treasury Mc Adoo and heads of the federal reserve board previous to the announcement. The arrangement places the whole power of the reserve system behind the war department until such time as the department, through congres sional action, can take charge of the situation without fear of financial em-1 barrassment. Coincidentally, it became known to day that the offer of J. P. Morgan & Co. to advance $1,000,000 without in terest, for payment of government creditors, was made with the Morgan company's knowledge of the situation. That offer has not been accepted, and need not be, in view of the federal reserve board's action. California Is:Well Prepared for War . Sacramento, Cal., March 27. (P. N. S.)

Walmsley, rormar moalty Operator of Detroit, Bfloh., Axrwrted on Warrant Xsvaed In That Tlae. Claude A, Walmsley, chemical sales man, until recently a realty operator in Delrolt, Mich., was arrested by Detectives Leonard and La Salle Mon day night when he called to get- an accumulation of mail at a hotel. Walmsley was taken on a warrant from Detroit, charging the larceny of $5000. Superintendent of Police Mar quarrit at Tietroit has been notified that Walmsley will waive extradition. Walmsley, who Is 35 years old, said the arrest was the result of a realty deal put through by himself and asso ciates last September in Detroit. The trouble arose over the sale of an apartment house, and Walmsley said the disagreement was over the trans fer of funds. He said he did not flee from Detroit becauso of tear of prosecution, but came west to accept an agency for a chemical product made in Kansas City. With his wife and 13-year-old son, he has been living in an apartment. They came to Portland a week ago. An officer left Detroit this morning for Portland, according to a message received by Captain of Detectives Baty. The request from Detroit asked that all funds In Walmsley's possession be retained as evidence, but he had only $8 in cash, besides $100 in travelers' checks and a $75 personal check..

PENITENTIARY OF THE FUTURE MIXTURE OF Capt. Murphy, Warden o State Institution, Predicts Change in Years to Come, "The penitentiary of the future will be a mixture of school, church, med ical school, psychological laboratory, mechanical workshop and diversified farm. A few very strong cells will always be necessary, but In the ma jority of cases only the unarmed guards will be required, mental and moral control taking the place of dun geons and bars." This prophecy was made by Cap tain Charles A. Murphy, warden of the state penitentiary, at the annual meet ing of the Oregon Prisoners Aid so ciety, Monday night, in Central li brary. His subject was "Penitentiar ies of the Past and Future," and em braced a rebuke on the present at- ftributed shamefulness of penitentiary conditions. Attitude of the Public" was the theme of T. J. Hazleton. who told of educational work that must be accom plished with the public mind in order that a better understanding will pre- , vail with reference to criminology. Mrs. Mnnie Darst, superintendent of the girls' training school, advocated more scientific methods for the pre vention of delinquency in the adoles cent. The adoption of the feeble-minded commitment law and sterilization law for the prevention of crime was urged by George A. Thacher. Mrs. Harriet H. Heller's excellent talk in the afternoon on "Care of de pendent Girls" showed how the ex pression of the emotions of girls through music and recreation was es sential to their proper development into lives of security and happiness.

Jim Bow was about 54 years old and conducted the New Tork restaurant at 12 North Sixth street. He was a member of the- Hop Sing tong. but pre viously had been a member of the Bow Leongs. now opposite factions in the war, and he has always been a marked man in local tong altercations. Every tong war shooting was a warning for Jim Bow to go under cover, for he was the first one thought of when gunmen began making plans for a festival. Twice Jim Bow has been stabbed by hatchetmen of oppo sition tongs, the last time In 1914. At that time he was said to be a member of no tong. and the members of the tong at fault considered this by mak ing him a present of $700 as indem nity, ss He had been living at the Muller hotel altout four weeks under tho name of Stevens.

CALL TO ARMS AIMED AT ALL TRUE PATRIOTS (Onntinuod Prom Pace One.) and has the approval of the president and the administration, who must put it into effect. "Men must be found for the regular army and navy, and for the National Guard, if we are to insure the defense of this nation. We seem to be facing wsr at the present time, but although we may escape war. there is the-future to look to after the war In Europe is brought to a close. "America cannot afford to he de fenseless or impotent. We must not be in the position of being forced to call upon other nations for aid but be able to stand on our own feet. If trouble should ever beset us. 'No matter if a million men wear flags on their coat lapels or hang the national emblem over their doors, these exhibitions of patriotism will avail nothing if these men are not trained to do their share in the na tional defense. Jaoglments Ar Added. Since the national defense act was passed In June we have made a start Some seven regiments of infantry and two of cavalry have been added to th regular army and the navy seems to be getting an enthusiastic response to its call for sufficient men to man the fighting craft of ttie nation. "Now comes the call for the na tional guard. It must be answered, It, with the army and navy, comprise the instrumentalities for training the nation in the art of defense. They are the only instrumentalities of defense authorised by law Other organlxa Hons cannot legally take part in war according to the law of nations and Americans must be trained in thes branches if they are to be trained at all. "The army, the navy, the national guard are great schools. Every fa cility is provided by the government for training purposes. Patriotic as may be the members of a volunteer or civilian organization they are not able to pet the training provided through the legal channels. "In Boston, for example. If you could go to Harvard to complete your education, would you be content with a Chautauqua as good as it might b in its way? Country 7 aces Crisis. "This proposition holds good with military training for th defense of the nation. This country faces a serl ous and grave condition, and It is the duty of her citizens to assist in meet ing 1; and to aid lawfully constituted authorities in their task. "This Armory in Portland, for exam pie. Is a great plant provided by the government for the training of men in th National Guard. Every facil ity Is provided. Isn't It better that men he trained here than In volunteer camps? ."The Third Oregon needs men, and It is the first duty of the people of Oregon to fill its ranks. "Some men are too young and some too old. end others physically Inca pable of the work, but they, and espe cially employers, should make It pos sible for those In their employ to do their share. Big Problem Ziooms. "Some. I know, have talked much of the potential military strength of the United States and of the ease with which ati'irmy could be ralaed. But those 200 business men, professional men and newspaper men- who served for four weeks in the first training camp, held by General Leonard Wood at Plattsburg, N. T., know better. They know that an army for the defense of the nation cannot be raised over night." .Colonel Dentler, as chief of staff of the Sixteenth division, is charged with the task of building up the National Guard in the states of Oregon, Wash ington, California, Montana, Idaho and Utah. He is a graduate of West Point, the army service school, army 'war col lege and is an authority on the na tional defense. After a conference with J. D. Far rell, president of the O-W. R. A N. Co., Monday, he talked to the heads of the company's departments, and received assurance that employes of that road who respond to the call will not lose their positions.. Colonel Dentler ha prepared a state ment to be made by employers to em ployes on the subject of the national defense, which he feels should be ex tended in the present situation by patriotic concerns to their men. The text follows: NOW! When our country Is facing the early . probability of war. averr able-bodied young- man, between thJ ages or. la ana snouia o in train ing to serve his country, by Joining the national guard or the naval militia, or the regular army or navy.

Therefor thok citizens who take upon themselves the difficult and dangerous task of per forming the military duty of the coun try, are thereby performing that duty for all who do not so serve their coun try. Therefore, We, citizens of Oregon nnd ot, the United States, do hereby pledge ourselves, and we do guarantee into each and every one of our em ployes who serves his country by en listment in the National Guard or th the Naval Militia that he shall not D7 leaser of such service be placed in ,-eopardy of the loss of his Job.
