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

the empty cars en the line of the

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.)
An Investigation proved that the ac
cident that caused the death of three
school girls last night was the result
of an attempt to turn a big automobile
around on a narrow road. The dead
girla are Kstber Oxen, 19 ; Wilhemlna
Silva, 17. and Naomi Walion. 17. Their
crushed bodies were found under the
overturned machine at the bottom of a
gulch 25 feet below the road by a pass
ing rancher. A rear , wheel had slipped
over the edge of the road, which winds
in and out among the hills. The ,girla
were on the way to a ranch owned by
the Oxen girl's father near Santa Rita,
where they intended to pass the night
Miss Oxen was driving.

Alleged Fraud in Coyote Scalps
Salem. Or., Nov. 21. Some of the
county clerks in the border counties are
having trouble over the payment of
bounties on coyote scalps, as a strong
suspicion exists that scalps are being
brought into the state from Nevada-so
that the bounty may be collected in Ore-
ron, according to M. 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. The attorney general holds that
Chapter 268 was passed last and there
fore is controlling and that it gives
county clerks broad authority to require
satisfactory proof that coyotes on which
a bounty is claimed have been killed
within this state.

painted before an audience that filled
the White Temple Tuesday night an
audience of Amricans who time and
again, thrilled or deeply touched by the
wonderful recitals of Russia s trials and
tribulations, paid reverence to her honor
by expressing their heart-felt sympathy,
encouragement and approval of what
she has done in the world war by rever
berant applause,
From this picture was drawn : Jet
America have- faith in Russia. 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.
