business men of Portland. Bankers,

than half an hour on the floor of the
Armory, said Colonel Hlbbard.

boats more powerfully armed tfcaa
ever before.
That Germany has recently re
called her U-boats Is Indicated by
news dispatches by the lower sink
Ing rate and partially confirmed
by official advices.
This may mean. In naval men's
judgment, that Germany is not
only putting bigger gnns aboard
her craft, bat also she may be
preparing to launch further big
submarine cruisers, replacing some
of the smaller' type.
If Germany Is doing these things,
a new era of naral warfare Is at
hand which will mean spectacular
battles.

F. C. Knapp, president of the Penin
sula Lumber company of Portland, in
testifying at the senate ship investiga
tion Friday, said the fear of the shipping
board officials that the timber supply i
will fall on the Pacific Coast is entirely
unfounded. He said the supply Is prac
tically unlimited. -
What is. needed, he added, is open
announcement of a fixed wooden ship
program, whereupon capital ' will feel
free to Invest.- Government aid for
logging roads would "come handy." he
said, but It Is not a necessity.
"The "hip output would be greatly
increased," said Knapp, "If new con
tracts were awarded under a. stable
policy, but the price of ships should be
increased to permit an amortisation of
investment. Knapp said he would
approve of the government stabilizing
the price of ships and the price of labor
under plans -for the construction of
ships of every type that can be built.

matter has progressed cannot be learned.
The west coast lumbermen say there is
no objection to a country wide eight

While the New York World call Fuel Commissioner Garfield's conservation order the
'greatest disaster that has befallen the. United States in this war," and other journals are equally
emphatic in condemning it, many other American newspapers view the action with tolerance,
as being a necessary war measure, the Boston Herald declaring that "we should not criticize
military orders, no matter how needlessly sweeping they seem, and in the same spirit we ap
proach these provisions for the conservation of our resources.
'The port of New York is part of the battle-line," says Public Service Commissioner Whit
ney of New York, in The Times, "and the people should realize this as clearly as if the battle
line lay in the Connecticut Valley. The coal situation is exceedingly critical and it is no time
for public officials to rock the boat."
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 26th, public opinion, as reflected in the news
paper press from all sections of the country, is presented in the leading article dealing with Com
missioner Garfield's drastic coal conservation order.
All phases of the subject are dwelt upon in this article, and a careful reading of it will
make clear to the American people just why this order was necessary, how it will be carried
out, and what its probable effects will be.
Other topics of pressing interest in this number of "The Digest" are:
British Labor's Appeal to the German People
"Peoples of Central Europe," British Labor Entreats, "Do Not Let Yovrf Gorernments Drive the
