' i School cares and Joys are secondary to the minds of two pretty little Port land maidens, who are thrilled In an ticipation of the leading part they will I lay tn two important event cf the coming week. They are to be sponsors for two "great big ships." One will be a unit of the fleet of wooden steamers being built for the country of Oeorge Wash ington, and the other will be a unit of a fleet of auxiliary schooners build ing . for. the . country of Marquis do La Fayette. Old Glory, the American ' standard, will fly over the bow of one - and the . trl-c.oUr of France will fly vea the other. J The two little girls selected for this honor are Miss Anne Wentworth, age .12, and Miss Pauline Oenereaux, age 13. First One Launched Tne launcningn are to take place at f the plants of the Supple & Ballin .Shipbuilding corporation and the Foun. ; dation company. Miss Wentworth is " the daughter of Iloyd J. Wentworth. head of the Oregon district of the emergency fleet corporation, and Miss . Genereaux is the daughter of Captain ? Jf. C Oenereaux. representative of the French government at the plant of the Foundation company, which Is building CO auxiliary schooners 'for the '.French government. Misa Oenereaux will have the dlstinc ,; tion of being the sponsor of the first vessel launched at the Foundation com pany, which Is the larrest shipyard in ' the Oregon district. The launching is to take place Wednesday at 1 :30 p. in. f and the vessel Is to he christened Com tnandant Roison. Though first to be launched the Commandant Roison will , be followed soon by others, as nine more i ar building, the yard being equipped With 1 ways, and it Is hoped to launch two every month from now on. As oon as the Commandant Roison vacates the ways another keel will be -laid, g Depesdn on Height of Water The other launching will be Mondav momlng at 11 o'clock. This event is contingent, however, on the state of the river. For the past several days the Water has been too far below the end ' Of the ways to permit the launching. The vessel Is to be christened the Wallowa. Misa Wentworth can exult over the ' honor of being the sponsor of the . fleet built under actual government con . aeventh vessel of Uncle Sam's liberty trac at Portland, for the Wallowa has been preceded by four fleet mates at the plant of the Grant Hmlth-Porter Fhlp company, ' one at the Peninsula 8hlpbullding company, and a full fledged sister at the Supple & Ballin . plant. Thus Is Oregon helping to remove ... the Obstacle lack of ships that lies In the path of victory. LOAN CAMPAIGN IS "LAUNCHED" Northwest Slerl Company Employes ,Are Urged lo Subscribe for Bonds.

C, as it appears today from the top of Washington monument, affording a striking contrast to Washington be fore the war, or Washington, B. C, asyrvin Cobb has called it Washington, March 16. The physical effect of the war on Washington is best Illustrated by the statement that one year ago the visitor to the top of he Washington monument, where the oc companying picture ' was made, would have seen only three of the 15 buildings shown prominently in this photograph. These three are the Pan-American build ing (lower cepter), the D. A. R. hall days, may soon be constructed In great numbers to augment the shipping pro- gram If covernment tests show the type sound tn construction and thoroughly seaworthy, scores of them will be laid down in yards on both the Pacific and the Atlantic. . This was the word from the ship ping board today following the launch ing at San Francisco. Thursday, of the concrete ship "Faith." The government likes the Idea of a GO day construction : the use of materials that don't have to be hauled across the country ; and the fact that ordinary and not skillled labor can be used. But, It wants to know the truth of marine engineers' belief that the concrete vessel cannot stand the incessant poundings of her engines within or of the high seas without and that It will crack under the strain. If the 'Faith" stands the rigorous tests to be given her, shipping . board officials today predicted, keels for large numbers of even larger, 7500 ton con crete ships will be before summer. FEARS SAILORS WILL QUIT Captain Cortzen Orders Vessel Taken lo Middle of Stream. San Francisco, March 16. I. N. S.)

She got away to sea this morning. REBUILT FREIGHTER SOLD Old Sesoslris Is Purchased by French Interests for $1,800,000. , Seattle. March 16. (I. N. S.) The 7000 ton freighter Francis L.

THE HONOLULU RUN Former Unit of Dewey's Famous Fleet Meets Engine Trouble and Sends for Tug. The old cruiser Boston, one of the most historic craft of the navy, which up to a Bhort time ago was used as a training ship for the Oregon Naval Mi litia in the Portland harbor, is still serving wider Old Glory. She has been converted Into a freighter and Is on the Pacific coast-Honolulu run. The Boston Is famous as a unit of Admiral Dewey's fleet in the battle of Manila bay. Telling of a little -trouble the Boston had on her last arrival at Honolulu and mentioning another bit of historic Incident relative to the vessel, the Hono lulu Star-Bulletin of February 26 says: "Wirelessing last night that she would require a tug to bring her In the har bor, the freighter Boston of the federal shipping fleet arrived off port this morning with engine trouble. Something went wrong with the engines while the Boston was 100 miles off port and the engineer was unable to reverse the ma chinery. The tug intrepid was sent out to bring the Boston inside the har bor. "The Boston was formerly the Amer ican gunboat Boston, from which ma rines were landed here during the re bellion against the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893. "Peculiarly, the Boston set out from Seattle the same time as the Sacra mento. The Boston was taken from the mudflats and repaired. Both have developed engine trouble. " "This harbor is getting to be a hos pital,' said one of the waterfront offi cials this morning. "Within a month we have had the Retriever, Coolgardie, Ore gon, Sacramento, Boston all .in port for repairs, not to mention the Likelike. We need greater repair facilities.'

' r- POULSEN TRAILED BY RUM-LADEN PASSAGE Tender Rose Made Pretense of Inspecting Aids to Navigation in Wake of Steamer. It was by practicing a clever bit of camouflage .that customs officials, aboard the tender Rose, now. in the harbor undergoing annual repairs, fol lowed the steam schooner Johan Poul- sen Into port at Astoria two weeks ago and found 2000 bottles of whiskey aboard. The Poulsen was en route from California, the oasis, to Oregon, the desert. . Acting upon a tip from San Fran cisco, the customs officials comman deered the Rose and. ordered her to put to sea. Soon the Poulsen hove in sight and the Rose was ordered to follow in her wake. Fearing that those aboard the Poulsen would suspect that something was up, the Rose "fiddled" along as thejigh she were looking after buoys and othet aids to navigation. When the Poulsen slowed up the Rose would have some important duty to perrorm at a buoy or the like. This game was kept Up until the Poulsen reached the mu nicipal dock at Astoria. Then the Rose slid alongside. The customs officials lost no time in getting aboard and then began the investigation which unearthed the 2000 quarts stowed in nearly every conceivable place in panels iji every cabin. In chain lockers and under benches. A disgruntled sailor gave the tip. He and the captain Kal some difference before the Poulsen sailed from San Francisco. "You better quit," said the captain. "Alright, I'll quit," the sailor replied. He made a beeline for the cus tom house at that, port and. the customs officials there . in turn sent a beeline message to local customs officials. There Is a provision in the law now which provides for the confiscatlon.of a CUSTOMS TENDER ship if over 1200 quarts of liquor are ! acute intestinal trouble. Mr. Levy had found aboard under such circumstances. I gone to Spokane on a business trip. It has to be proven, however, that the He u survived by a wife, Mrs. Cle owners of the vessel are guilty of Illegal mentlne Levy, and a son, Reuben Levy, trarnc. The law holds that a cargo of over 1200 quarts should show on the papers, apparently granting that that much would be considered allowable for use on board. .

I learned that the people of New York are twice as much alive to the situation as are the people Ui the Middle West and that the people "f the Middle West are twice as much aroused as we on the coast. "It is no more than natural in a way, for conservative estimates give Portland only 700 to 800 aliens, but it behooves us all not to take the matter lightly." Will Sow Seeds of Loyalty The object of the congress was to start a trefmendous educational cam paign to "bury alive" the insidious Ger man propaganda that has spread to various parts of the country. Plans for carrying out the campaign will be -directed by the heads of universities and colleges throughout the country. The campaign will be carried out with the idea of sowing the seeds of loyalty in all branches of American life in every portion of the country. The instru ments will be specially prepared pam phlets and literature dealing with vari ous phases of the war and by personal messages from speakers, and the like. "We must all become war fans," said Mr. Dyer. "If Interest Is kept up here, it will keep up with our soldiers In the trenches." German Propaganda I'ar-Flnng One Incident where German propa ganda was carried into a remote and most unlikely and unsuspected quarter was told of by Mr. Dyer. "When I reached Chicago thej were holding a big art exhibition." he said. "Art of all peoples was on display. When if came to awarding honors, it was noticed that a good many went to German pieces of art. Speculation began and It was discovered that there were no less than seven Germans on the board of Judges." Thqmasy Jenkins officiating.
