Williard Hambleton Tells Ro
tary Club of Big Job That
United States Faces,
"There are only two things that will
prevent our war with Germany drag
ging on five or six years or indeter
minately," declared Williard Hamble
ton, late of the Canadian troops at the
front, addressing the Rotary club this
afternoon.
"One of the two will be a revolution
by the civil population of Germany,
That won't come. The other will be
for America to send 1,000,000 men o
the front and smash them. Send de
tachments of 25,000 or 30,000 and they
will be eaten up as fast as they reach
the German lines.
"America Is up against it. We are
fighting an enemy, terrible and lost
to any sense of mercy. ThevGeirmans
to my knowledge have torpedoed five
hospital ships. They drop bombs on
hospital. When we took Vlmy ridge
we found there a chemical laboratory
and plant in which their dead were put
and glycerine later used in explosives
to fire the big guns was distilled from
the bodies. The allies were whipped
up to the battle of Vlmy ridge. We
will have to give our fighting men
and our money and everything else In
order to win, for the brunt of the war
is to fall on America."
Hambleton is a United Stat! citi
zen. He was wounded half a dozen
times. HIb wife, a Red Cross nurae
rared for the wounded in a hospital
more than 60 hours, performing major
operations after the attending physl
cian's had been killed by

There was turmoil in the ranks of
west side bankers today when notifi
cations were received from San Fran
cisco Of the amounts allotted on th?
Liberty bond subscription.
A message containing an A, B, C
schedule on which the big subscrip
tions were to be apportioned came as
a bolt out of the blue shortly after
the banks opened.
At noon a second set Of messages
notified the bankers of the amounts
actually apportioned each institution,
according to the federal reserve bank's
figuring on this A, B, C schedule.
Bttbscrtptioa FlffttrM Zzoaedad
In most instances, the apportion
ments were somewhere, near correct,
according to the local banks' figures;
but in other cases the apportionments
were far wrong, and in several cases
the banks were apportioned more than
they actually had Eubscriptlons for.
For Instance the Ladd & Tilton bank
was allotted $1,253,300, while the com
plete subscriptions, according to their
own bookkeeping, was only $1. 180, 000.
The federal reserve bank's telegram
stated that the bank's total subscrip
tion was $1,811,800. The big total was
indignantly denied in a rost haste re
turn message.
ZltfnrM Are Far Off
The Lumbermen's National bank
was allotted $301,350 on a basis of
$423,800 subscribed. The bank de
clares that Its total subscriptions were
$293,800 and the federal reserve bani
gives it an oversubscription of $130,-
oofc
The United States National. In round
figures, subscribed $2,900,000, and It
was apportioned $1,166,250, nearly
$1,300,000 being lopped off.
The First National, with a subscrip
tion of $2,600,000, had $900,000 cut off,
leaving a balance apportionment of
$1,600,000.
W. A. McTtae, manager of the Bank
of California, said that the federal re
serve bank's figures were bo far off
that he refused to give out the ap
portionment or to discuss the message
received at noon time.
Allotment Cut Heavily
From the report of eight west side
banks of the amounts actually appor
tioned by the government bank, the
total allotment is $5,382,800. In the
readjustment some of this will be cut
out. and it is anticipated that the
amount will be lessened at least $150,
000. It is also possible that in eome
instances the apportionment will be
increased, so that an exact statement
at this time is impossible.
At any rate, the way the big cut Is
beln.g niatie, it looks like Portland's
gross of nearly nine million dollars
will be slashed nearly three million
dollars, leaving the city barely within
its minimum quota of $$,300,000, the
amount sought during the Liberty loan
campaign that ended June 15.
Apportionments aa OWaa
Individual apportionments of the
eight banks were as follows: North

the fund to be derived from motor

way commission, In locating, at the j
request of counties, state highways,
establishing grades, and submitting
specifications for their construction
as required by chapter 237, along with
the operation and maintainance of
State highways already constructed,
will require an outlay for 1917 of $244,-
690, while there la in the State high
way fund as proceeds from the one

This will leave no funds available
for matching -the federal appropriation
without issuing bonds, the court points
out.
"There can be no reasonable doubt
that the sale of state bonds in an
amount sufficient to raise enough
money to meetthat appropriation for
the year specified devolves upon the
defendants," concludes the cpurt.

The banks were preparing- to mail
to San Francisco the first partial pay

were unaDie to readjust the cavment
according to schedule. A few set

partial payment lists will have to go
through In full, and the voluminous
detail of readjustment must come afterwards.
The Northwestern National's fiffnm
according to the schedule, showed that
only $43,000 should be cut off th
original total, but the federal reserve
bank figures cut the list by $83,000.

Failure of those In charge of the
city election campaigns to file state
ments of expenditures will result In
the reporting by City Auditor Barbur
of all law violators to District At
torney Evans. The corrupt practices
act makes it mandatory upon the dis
trict attorney to prosecute the vio
lators, x
Barbur announced this morning that
unless all statements were In his of
fice immediately he would place the
entire matter in the hnnds of tho dis
trict attorney. He, said this would be
done before he resigns' his office Sat
urday. AHhouph the law requires the fil
ing Of statements by those who ex
pended money for or apainst measures
and candidates, only three campaign
expense accounts on the city meas
ures have been filed. Expense accounts
of several candidates have been filed,
however.
Only Three File
The Public Service league, the Fire
men's Two Platoon committee and the
South Portland Improvement associa
tion are the only three organizations
which have filed expense accounts.
The Public Service league backed the
interchange of telephone service meas
ure, the firemen the two platoon meas
ure and the South Portland Improve
ment association the playground
amendment.
Considerable money was expended In
fighting the telephone and the two
platoon measures. b'it no statements
have been filed by the opponents of
the measures.
At least eight measures were on
the city ballot, which were fought or
backed by different organizations, and
in which money was expended. These
were the Amidon and Shepherd char
ters, the Jitney bonding ordinance, the
free streets measure, the two platoon
measure, the Interchange of telephone
service, the trade conspiracy ordinance
and the playground amendment.
AU Know Xiaw How
Auditor Barbur said this morning
that while the law makes it mandatory
upon the campaign managers to file
expense accounts without notice from
his office, he notified all whom he
knew had any part in the campaigns.
"Certainly those we did not get in
touch with know what the law is by
this time," he said. "There Is no ex
cuse for further delays. While there
was some misunderstanding at flfst as
to the provisions of the law, this has
now been straightened out and it is
necessary that its provisions be com
plied with. If the statements are not
filed the law requires me to put the
facts in the hands of the district attorney.
"This I ehall do before the week Is
p. inasmuch aa I resign on Saturday.
It will then be up to the district at
torney to act."
W. C. Dunlway of the South Port-
and Improvement association, which
backed the playground amendment,
filed a statement today showing that
the organization expended $400.87 In
the campaign.
The statement filed by the firemen
showed that they expended $8818.10 In
behalf of the two-platoon measure.
Dr. George O. Alnslee filed a state
ment today showing $S95.01 expended
