CHECKING ENEMY
ALIENS BIG TASK
Chief , of Police Doubts That His
i Men Can Complete Job
in Time Allowed.
That th registration of enemy aliens
li going to be a far Jrger task than
was at flrat anticipated. Is the opinion
of Chief of Pollca Johnson, who stated
' Sunday that while h was making every
plan conceivable to handle the large
number of registrants, he was In doubt
, whether or not they would be taken care
of tn tha time specified by the govern
ment order February 5 to 9 inclusive.
' It la estimated that there Is In the
neighborhood of 2000 enemy, aliens In
the City of Portland. The order requires
.' that the registrant must call for his own
registration blank and fill it out within
; the . time specified. This necessitates
the handling of the men twice. The law
t quires that they must also furnish
'' tour .photographs of themselves, not
smaller than 1x3 Inches In size. In ad
dition the police will take the finger
Prints of every registrant, and this one
featue alone will require considerable
time.
' "Even If we are able to handle one
' registrant every 10 minutes, or 60 every
10 hours.vwe would only be able to reg
' later 300 men In the five days allowed
. by the government order," said Chief
Johnson. "We will do everything we
can to carry out the order, but the way
' 11 appears now, we are going to be
pressed for time to carry on the work
'. Tha registration will be held at police
headquarters on the fourth floor In the
cvmnasium. The work will start on
Tuesday morning. -February 6. and 'will
continue until Saturday night, Febru
ary ...
After the registration Is completed
tha police are then required to look up
the records of those registered and as
certain that their statements are true.
Rev. A. A. Morrison
? Flays the Kaiser
Brandt Raler as Self Constituted Prince
r. of Heaven Who Claims Divine Mis
slon Is Conquering of World.
. German alms and doctrines were
scored Sunday by Kev. A. A. Morrison,
who branded the kaiser as "the self
' constituted prince of heaven ; a tern'
poral king who, in the absence of God
on earth, claims that It Is his divine
- mission to conquer the whole world
' . and make Germanic salvation su
. Dreme."
. . Dr. Morrison said that the triumph
of this kultur would mean decadence
of the rest of the world. He attacked
.;. the "cunning, sophistry and deceit of
tha , kaiser who imagines that those
1 nations which he Is fighting are too
: Ignorant to get along in this world
' uhout the divine guidance of the
Prussian system of militarism."
Fats From the
Kitchen Traded
For Store Soaps
Portland housewives are saving
their aoap fats left from cooking
and exchanging them for soap at
the local grocery stores. In obedi
ence to the request of Food Ad
ministrator W. B. Ayer. A pound
of the unclarified fats has a market
value of one bar of soap. The
leavings from the kitchen are turned
Over to the soap manufacturers
who have agreed to make the ex
change through the grocery stores.
.Hundreds of pounds of fats are
ordinarily thrown Into the gar
bage can and It Is to turn this
waste product Into an article of In
trinsic value that the campaign has
been started In Portland in keeping
with a nation wide conservation
program.
ATTEMPT TO DISRUPT
DAIRYMEN'S LEAGUE
IS CHARGED IN LETTER
Meeting of Organization Is
Called to Meet in Portland
on Next Wednesday,
Charge that a group of Portland milk
distributors are conniving to break up
the Oregon Dairymen's league, that they
may buy milk from the dairymen below
the cost of production, is contained in
a letter addressed to members of the
league Saturday by Its president. Alma
D. Katx.
A general meeting of all dairymen and
butterfat producers is called for aext
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock In tha
Central? library hall to consider tha
situation. " ' r
' Two distributors, tha ' Oregon and
Rlverview dairies, have already been
sued for aa accounting by the league.
Tha call for tha meeting read in part:
Harmony Declared Lacking
"Leagua matters have reached ' the
point now where tha creamery men who
ought to be our friends and work In
harmony, with na, are making, deliberate,
concentrated and united effort to break
up tha league -in tha hope of being able,
in our opinion, to buy our product below
tha cost of production and sell it at the
present prices, thereby injuring the pro
ducer without in any sensa benefiting
tha ultimate consumer.
If we are to permit the creamery men
to place themselves in position to dic
tate the price of milk and butterfat to
tha farmer by dealing with us aa in
dividuals rather than as an association
of producers, then we are to drop back
to tha old conditions that prevailed be
fore this league was organized.
Meeting Is Important
"This meeting Is the most important
, ever called by the league. It is the final
turning point in our affairs. We want
every member to coma and bring his
neighbors who haven't seen tha benefit
yet of league membership, because pro
ducers of milk and butterfat - shipping
to the Portland market aa well aa to
tha condensa ry are vitally interested in
the matters that will come before you.
"Federal food commissions throughout
the United States have Increased the
nrtae of milk, because milk is worth
more than is being paid for it. 'Oregon
dairymen are desirous of protecting the
consumer. Tha Industry must be saved
and the ultimate consumer must not be
forced to pay too high a price.
Slackers Are Held
K On Federal Charge
Charles Iigesse, alias Harry Spencer ;
Harold Gomeringer and Felix Olabarria
were returned from Eastern Oregon Sun
day by Deputy United States Marshal
Pace. They are charged with failing to
respond to the call for examination
when drawn in the draft. They are held
in the county Jail.
RED

AT PILOT ROCK SAYS
STORY IS ERRONEOUS
Mrs. Belts of That Place Del

Acting under the Instructions given by
E. It. AmWon. who said he represented
the Portland chapter of the American
Red Cross. Aronsons company manufac

eight stare to be given to Mrs. Henry

country.
A letter received bv The Journal fi-ww
the Red Cross chapter of Pilot Rock
J-1" n error haa been made and that
asra. Beits or that city haa three sons
and that they are not in the army. The
letter follows:
Aa arucie IDtmrlnr In vniir irr
January 17 relative to the fact that the
roruana chapter A. R. C. was going to
honor Mrs. Belts by having a special
service pin made because, ahe waa the
woman in thla county that had given
the largest number of sons to the service
of her country In defense of right and
jiuuco. requires investigation and cor
I action. In the first nluv h t.
three sons and none of them are In
the service ef their countnr. Th M.t
son Is farming here ; Clyde, the boy who
interview, u around town
waiting for the -draft, and the youngest
y ver much below draft age. and
SI ,attndng school In Pendleton.
The only truth that he told waa hta
own and his mother's name. I am sure
that Mra. Belts fia the position she
has been placed in very much, and In , -justice
to tha Portland chapter would ,
want to have the correction made. i '
"Pilot Rock and surround Ins country'
haa many creditable things on record,
both patriotic and otherwiM. and is
very proud or what ahe has accom
plished along many lines. Amongst
other things there are 7 young men In
the service of their country mostly vol-
unteers. but none of them bear the
names of Belts, and to my knowledge no
mother or father baa given mora than
two sons ; some have given their alt
one and are proud to do it. but we
only want credit and honor where it la
due. Tours sincerely,
