FEDERAL BANKS WILL
CASH U. S. 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.

Chemical Salesman
Accused of Larceny
CUnds A. . 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..

Change in Years to Come,
"The penitentiary of the future will
be a mixture of school, church, med

guards will be required, mental and

"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

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:

We believe that in our country the
duties of citizenship devolve equally
upon all citlsens. 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

into each and every one of our em

the Naval Militia that he shall not D7
