British-American Conferees Bend to Work of Speeding Up Program; Lioyd George Details Allies' Needs. . London. Nov. 21. (U. P.) England look anxloualy for the day when America's "first million men" shall be In Franc and when America's first 0,000,000 tons of shipping shall sail the seas bringing more men, more munitions, more supplies In the com' men cause against autocracy. The hope of an early realization of i these plana, as expressed by Premier Lloyd George In his speech opening the British-American war conference, was re-echoed throughout England to day. It served again to emphasize the British public's realization of the vast impetus which America will give to. the allied war machine and to the Americans here, at least, it also served an a reminder of the gigantic task to which the United States has set itself. Conferees Are at Work "With Lloyd George's speech opening the conference, the representatives of the two governments bent to work to speed up the realization of the premier's .hopes an aspirations. Foremost under discussion was the British plea for acceleration for Amer ica's mobilization of fighting men at the front. From Lloyd Oeofge's words It was evident England- hopes for all peed in this mobilization. "Like Britain, the premtee said, "the united States Is a pacific power and sne. mereiore. nas nau to build up a war organization from the start. "In doing so she can learn from many mistakes which Britain made. . Two of the most urgent matters today are man rower at the fronts and shlDDlner. .'The collapse of Russia and the recent reverses of Iytly make It even more im peratlve than before that the United Ktat.es should send as many troops as possible across the Atlantic as- early as possible. I am anxious to know how soon the first million men can be ex pected in France." The premier detailed the allies' needs in airplanes, food and supplies and reit erated the necessity for closest ooopera tlon in the war. . was based upon a check made upon the empty cars en the line of the Spokane. Portland ' Seattle railway by the Willamette Valley lumbermen's association. W. D. Skinner, traf fla tnannnr for tile Spokane, Portland ft Seattle, say t tb check upon which this order was based does not present the facts In a fair light to our company. We have asked for an Investigation. In the meantime we are acting In strict one. dlence to the order. In all Us activi ties the Spokane. Portland & Seattle company is following the flag. We will exert every effort In the support of the government and obey cheerfully any-order from the committee on car service." Japanese Line Will Aid Allies With Ships Nippon - Tsztn Kalsna to Place Gener- ens Amount of Cargo jgpaee at Dis posal of ;u. 8. for War Purposes. Tokio, NoV. 3. (U. P.) (By njaU.) With the object of rendering more sub- stantlaj shipping aid to the allies, the j Nippon Tusen Kaisha, Japan's foremost shipping company, with 103 vessels ag- I gregatlng 480,000 tons at Its command. has decided to plact at America's dis posal" a generous amount of cargo space. These boats will be of help to all the allies, but especially will they be used in carrying big shipments of war supplies from New York to Vladivostok. .It Is believed here that this move Is the result of negotiations between Toklo and Washington on the question of the United States steel embargo and increased Japanese participation in the war. "America wants the aid of about 150,000 tons of Japanese shipping, say reports here. To satisfy this request 19 Nippon Yusen Kaisha vessels, each of 7500 tons, will be rerouted to ply between Yokohama and London, via Panama, touching New York and Vladi vostok. With a view of rendering fur thor aid, the company Is considering sending its passenger liners, now sail ing between Yokohama and Seattle., to Vladivostok on the return trip to Japan.

U. 8, Blay Rush Troops Washington. Nov. 21,-(1. N. S.) The prospect of much larger numbers of troops being sent to t-.urope loomed up today following the call of Lloyd George for every man the United States can land in France. Army officials said that the men are available and that the only problem is shipping. Naval au thorities on both sides of the Atlantic, backed by Lloyd George's statement that five submarines were sent down last Saturday and the ldwer number of sink ings by them, believe the submarine menace is rapidly diminishing. Army men point out that, if it is true the submarine has not to be reckoned with to the extent it has been, it 'will soon be possible to transport troops' much more rapidly. The present situa tion makes it necessary for the con voyed transports to proceed to Europe at one third the speed possible. If these ships can be sent across faster, soldiers now ready -could be placed In the trenches In a very short time. Attempt to Turn Is Fatal to Three Girls Pleasanton, Cal., Nov. 20. (I. N. S.)

A. Biggs, district attorney for Harney county, who has written to Attorney General Brown for" an opinion on the law. As In several other Instances which have come to light, the last legislature passed two bills amending the same section, relating to coyote bounties. One is chapter 263 and the other chapter 153.

Petro grad is not Russia,- and we should not judge her by happenings there. Three million Russians are showing their true blue faith and honest loyalty ' in the cause of democracy1 and world freedom by sticking to their posts in the trenches against 2,500,000 Germans, who other wise would be free to be thrown against the allies on, the western front. The fanatical Bolshevikl and Maximalists, the tools of pro-Germanism, will .be hnfrd soon as traitous. Backed' by the true sentiments or the country ana tne loyal-troops, Premier Kerensky and the provisional government soon will be back in P9wer.- - Russia Will sever Be a Slacker The painters of this picture were two Russians and an American army officer, A. J. sack, director or tne itussian information bureau at New York city Lieutenant Commander Basil Hwoskln- sky, of the Russian Imperial guard, and Major Stanley Washburn who for three years was with the Russian armies on detached duty from the United States army. Their paint was from the can or experience; of what they have actually seen, and In "a clear, plain, unimpas sloned way they revealed a story of Russia, startling In -its details. - but ringing true in Its sincerity. Mr. SacK, tne Iirsi opeaaer, openeu his address- with a, categorical assur ance that free. Russia, democratic Rus sia, will never be a slacker in the glor ious fight for liberty and democracy. "The reports from Petrograd appear gloomy," he admitted, "but I want to caution you that the are one-sided because the Maximalists are still in control. of the wires." Continuing, he said: "The Idea of a separate peace la un bearable to the Russian mind. We will share the burden of this war with our allies till the end and we will do It not only for sentimental reasons, not omy because our consciences cannot allow us to desert our brothers-ln-arras . In the fieht for liberty and democracy tout be cause there is a' vast army In Russia numbering 95 per cent of the population who will never make peace wiin uer many. Will Put Treachery to Rout Rv this 9a per cent I mean the or ganlsed forces of the Russian demo rracv. They will be united for the final battle with the dark Maximalist forces and will put an end to the treacherous activities m petrograd. Th worklnemen of Russia will fol low, not Lenlne and not Trotsky, but such Socialist leaders as Tseretelll and Ovosdlev, who support this war as a war for democracy. The peasants of Russsia will follow the voices of such leaders as Kerensky and Brescnicovs kaya, the grandmother of the Russian revolution, and Avksertiev. "With Petrograd in possession of the Maximalists, we may expect that a na tional government, a new provisional government, will be established in some other city of Russia. But it must be emphasized that the Maximalists. In their pro-German activities, do rot have any, following, even among the laboring classes. The Petrograd coun cil nf workmen's and soldiers delega tions, which is now undertlje Influence of the Bolshevikl, does not represent the entire working class of Russia, as Petrograd dees not represent all Rus sia. ."I personally like- the last advices from Petrograd. Maximaiism has oeen an Internal disease In Russia since tse revolution, but has worked in an un derhanded way. Awfal Sacrifice Has Been Made "Now that it is on the surface Ve soldiers fought the Germans with bare hands, with unheard-of courag. under standing that even, un4er the gujQance of the esar they, fighting on the side of the allies, were fighting the battle for liberty and democracy In Europe. This and only this kept up the spirit of our army, the glorious army, which, by turning its anna against the Germans and. pro-Germans in Petrograd, accom plished in March, 191T, the greatest rev olution In the history of mankind. "Russia now asks that the Bolshevikl be left to her to settle and she will settle with these groups of traitors soon. If you will trust in Russia and will ren der her at this critical moment all the material and moral support she needs, X predict that our army, reorganised, will actually participate In the allied opera tions next spring." ' Conditions at Treat rietared Faying tribute after tribute to the Russian soldier, uttering faith in the eventual outcome of Russia's troubles and citing Incidents in her great trials to back up his statements, Major wasn burh rave a wonderful recital of actual conditions on the Russian front during three years of the war. . He declared the part the Russians have slaved in the war has saved Eu rope from the Hun. He asserceo me moral fibre, spiritual and physical cour- r, nt tn Russian soldier are unim peachable, frequently reminding his hearers that he had actually seen what he spoke of. Malor Washburn told or tne rtussian drive toward East Prussia, wnien caused the kaiser to draw great num? bers of troops from the western, front when It seemed 'that Paris would fall. He pointed out a similar Incident when Calais was saved, saying mai n ioo 16 German army corps to drive tne Russians back to Warsaw. He declared that had England or France been put out of the war in 1915, we would now be f lsrhtlner Germany alone and would not have the opportunity or suDscrioing to Liberty bonds. "We would be sub scribing to a .120.000,000,000 Indemnity fund." he asserted, "because we es poused the cause of France and Eng land." Major Sounds Warning An idea of the vasU German intrigue that has, had Russia In Its grip was shown .'in the statement that "it has been estimated 140,000 Germans are vorking in Russia and that in three months they spent f)50.0OO,00O in propa ganda." . The major warned his hearers that It was everyone's Individual war and as serted that it is UP to everyone to see that there is a united nation. If Rus sia goes ouf of the war, he said, not more than 20 ir cent of our army will return. Keeping Russia in the war Is of vital Interest, and to do this, we must back our government in supporting her. This, asserted the major, must be come a national poney. Anyone try ing to break down the government or to check Its work In any way should be treated as an individual enemy, he add ed with emphasis- By a rising vote at the conclusion of the meeting, a resolution was adopted" giving hearty approval of America s support in behalf of Russia Jn this war. W. It- Gsdvanl. who has been a res ident of Portland more than 10 years, having come here from Russsia, gave the address of welcome. He spoke In the Russian language. This, was a great surprise to the Russian members of the party, as nothing had been said about It previously. KING GEORG BUSY E IS AS ANY VORKINGMAN IN UNITED .
