TRACTS LET
EAST; PORTLAND
HOPES TO GET SHARE
Lumber for Shipbuilding Goes
to $40 Here and '$41 -per
Thousand in Seattle Yards
FOOL MAY BE FORMED
Central Body Proposed to Take Con.
tracts and Sublet Work to
Smaller Buildsxs.
Contracts: for wooden steamers are
now being made at "Washington, ac
cording to late advices received by the
Chamber of Commerce.
Those firms which are on the
ground, substantial financially and
ready for Immediate work, are receiv
ing contracts.
It is confidently expected that sev
eral of the local firms will get work
under this plan, as the McEachern
.Ship company. Peninsula Shipbuilding
company, -Coast Shipbuilding company
and" Standlfer-Clarkson Shipbuilding
company are" represented at Washing
ton and anxious to get work.
This with the announcement that
shipbuilding lumber had advanced to
140 a thousand here and $41 a thou
sand at 8eattle were the principal fea
tures of the day's Lews.
As things stand now the Columbia
river rrtills are furnishing the bulk of
the long timbers and selected planking
that is going into the snips or tne fa
cific coast.
North Paclflo lumbermen have been
unable to agree on a price for the gov.
ernment on shipbuilding lumber as re
quested by the government, but it Is
believed that before the week Is out a
scale averaging about Ml will be
agreed on.
Meanwhile an effort Is being made
to organize the small yard owners of
the river with the idea of having a
central and financially responsible
, body tak'e contracts for a fleet of
steamers for the government and sub
let them to email builders.
The move is progressing steadily and
will, it is believed, be successful.

weak kidneys, and if the kidney ac
tion is distressingly disordered, there
should lie no doubt that the kidneys
need help.
Don't neglect yourself. There may
be danger of dropsy, gravel stone in
the kidney, or Bright's disease. You
can't afford to give up. Trv to avoid

14 KILLED AND MANY
ED IN WRECK ON
Train Carrying Carranza
Soldiers Leaves Rails Near
Queretaro, Is Report,
Laredo, Texas, May 9. (I. N. S.)
Details of the wreck of a military
train near Queretaro, Mexico, In which
14 persons were killed and more than
100 others were Injured, were brought
hero today by passengers arriving on
the first train to reach the border
since last Saturday. Seven Carranza '
soldiers, four women and three chil
dren, were killed in the wreck, the ar
rivals said.
The passenger train carrying a
number of women and children, in ad
dition to 600 Carranza soldiers, left
Queretaro Sunday. The entire train
was derailed a short distance north
of there and beneath thxi wreckage ol
the -nearly demolished cars more than
200 soldiers were pinned. Many of the
injured soldiers were so badly maimed
that passengers declared additional
deaths were certain to have resulted.
Some estimated the probable death
list as high as 75.
The dead and injured were removed
to Queretaro and the track, torn up
for a distance of half a mile, was re
paired to permit the passage of the
train which arrived here mere than
three days late. The wreck, it was
said, was caused by spreading rails.

Amsterdam, May 9. (TJ. P. Specu
lation as to what Imperial Chancellor
von Bethmann-Hollwcg may have to
say about Germany's war aims in his
forthcoming speech is resulting In
widespread demand for "less secret
diplomacy" In Germany's administra
tion, according to German newspapers
received here today.
A copy of the Vosslche Zeitung, Just
received, bitterly assails lack of com
plete frankness by the German gov
ernmental autocracy now and In the
pa."t, declaring:
"Every statesman must really make
an effort to clarify their desires In
their own minds and then stand for
their demands against foreign diplo
macy." The editorial referred to "a misty
atmosphere" in the foreign office.
The conservative newspaper Koel
nische Zeitung combats the plea for
complete frankness in foreign affairs
by insisting that if a bargainer de
sired to negotiate he would not "shout
his terms in the market place."
The Socialist organ Vorwaerts re
news its demands for a statement by
Hollweg outlining Germany's war
aims, particularly replying to Russia's
recent announcement.

FOR FEAR
Til THRIFT IS
TO BRING HARD TIMES
Director Gifford of Defense
Council Points Out How
Prosperity Will Result,
MORE JOBS WILL BE OPEN
-,
Ztess Money, He Bays. Will Be Spent
for Unnecessary Things, out Far
Mors for HeoesBitles.
Washington. May f. (U. P.)
There Is no ground for fear that
wartime thrift will bring hard times."
said Director w. S. Gifford of the
council of national defense. In a state
ment to the country thrqugh the
United Press today.
"Wartime thrift merely means read
justment, not the cessation of expend!
tures. ; The whole country- is organ
ized on a peace basis. It must be re
adjusted to a war basis. It will mean
less money will be spent for unneces
sary things. But far more money will
be spent for necessities.
-tany Jobs Will Be Open.
"Some unnecessary lines of indus
try may be discontinued. But for
every ; man that may be thrown out
of work through the discontinuance of
the manufacture of a luxury, many
Jobs will be open.
"Wartime thrift means the diversion
of all the nation's efforts toward
things necessary for maintaining the
nation's life and winning the war. In
the readjustment some few may suf
fer temporary loss, but the vast ma
Jority will profit materially and mor
ally. :
"If a man should lose his Job as a
salesman of some non-vital luxury, he
will have scores of opportunities for
useful, patriotic labor. The full man
power of the country will be needed.
and. in fact, it is already ' recognized1
that women may be called upon to
help. .
- Hard-Times Cry Unpatriotic
"To talk of men being out of work
permanently through the cessation of
buying in lines of luxuries or unneces-
saries Is absurd. If they lose their
positions in these lines, they can be
more profitably employed more prof
itably for themselves and their coun
try.
"For men in certain lines of indus
try, at such a time as this, to raise
the cry of possible hard times, is
display of unpatriotic thoughtlessness.
It requires only a second of seriou
thought to reveal the truth that the
Industrial strength of the nation will
be strained Instead of being relaxed
In addition, the enormous demand for
labor on the farms would absorb any
possible excess.
Thrift Heeeselty XTot Verso-al,
"Shipbuilding work alone will re
quire so much labor that the possl
billty of discontinuing much of the
structural building operations In the
country is at hand.
The removal of 1,000,000 or more
men from tne rusiness lite or. me
country obviously means more work
for those behind the army. The gov
ernment and the allies will be spend
lng billions in the production of war
materials, which reach practically
every branch of Industry.
"So, as a matter of fact, the ne
cessity for thrift is not for purposes
of Individual saving and the cessation
of spending, but literally In order that
the demand may be reduced to the 11 m
its of possible supply."

Eczema Is Conquered!
Greasy salve and ointments should
not be applied If good clear skin is
wanted. From any druggist for 25c or
$1.00 for extra large size, get a loltl

effectively removes eczema, qslckly
stops Itching, and heals skin troubles,
also bores, burns, wounds and chafing.
It penetrates, cleanses and soothes.
Zemo is a clean, dependable and inex

Try it, as we believe nothing you have
ever used Is as effective sid satisfying.
