In a desperate attempt to rush Red Cross supplies to France and avoid the congested h astern ports, the American National Red Cross this morning ar ranged for a cargo steamer to leave Seattle shortly, with all holds loaded with Red Cross bandages, knitted goods and hospital materials for France. The steamer will travel via the Pan ama Canal. All chapters in the Northwest were ordered immediately to rash all sup plies direct to the wharves In Seattle, these orders being sent by telegraph. . The Portland chapter will be the larg est contributor to the cargo, having three carloads or material ready. In the past the Portland chapter has been the only chapter In the Northwest to make its consignments direct to the National warehouses at New York, other chapters shipping to division warehouses at Se attle. Whatever they have on hand whether bandages, knitted goods or hospital ma terialschapters will rush to Seattle that they may be inside the holds In less than a week. The action is taken, it is intimated. upon receipt of urgent cablegrams from Major James H. Perkins, Red Cross commissioner to France, and it is con lectured that in the recent offensive larg-e Red Cross supplies were captured The shipment will form the rirst di rect shipment of Red Cross material from the Northwest to France, and is probably the first entire steamer cargo of Red Cross goods ever to go to ranee Owing to the transportation situation in the East and the difficulties of get ting supplies on shipboard at Atlantic ports, it Is conjectured Dy ilea cross officials that there will be a greater tendency to ship from the interior to Pacific coast ports In the future, re versing entirely the usual tendency. m - GREAT SHORTAGE OF CARS REPORTED (Continued from Page One) amounts to about 20 per cent of the entire output of the mills. The other 80 per cent is allowed to pile up at the mills. Spruce bureau of the West Coast Lumbermen's association promised full cooperation with Colonel Dlsque In speeding up the airplane stock output. Portland offices will be opened in or der that the spruce bureau may be in close touch with the government work wnicn is centered at tne Dig leaerai spruce cut-up plant at Vancouver, Wash. Saturday the spruce men will meet with Colonel Disque to discuss grading rules. The following new offi cers of the spruce bureau were elected Howard Jayne of Raymond, Wash. chairman, and A. W. Scott of Seattle, Nell Cooney, Cosmopolis, Wash. ; Tom Watt, Brighton, Southern Oregon dis trict; Roy Wernicke, Coquille, Southern Oregon district ; R. C Angel, Portland, who is manager of the Portland bureau. Shortage Care Bally Lumber mills of the Pacific Northwest seed 650 cars daily to handle the ship timbers for the government and meet the needs of the commercial trade, ac cording to late estimates of lumbermen. The lumber Industry today is rfcceiv lng only 200 cars a day. It is said. Ship timber producers are also facing a- serious question in the " matter of prices. The government baa allowed but $40 a thousand for the ship lumber, Producers claim that it costs them nearly $45 a thousand to produce the CROSS ORDERED lumber. 4 - 't -" - " & is Lr" '-,; " --. Northwest is also a big problem to han dle la evident from statements of the niuimen ana loggers. It is declared that only about 75 per cent of the shingle capacity is closed because of the lack of cars. Spruce loggers are also handicapped because of their inability to move the cedar logs which have to be cut down in getting out the spruce supplies. The logs cannot remain long in the water be cause of the deterioration which would follow. PatroaUe Home Firms Patronage of local manufacturers in the filling of the government's 100,000 order for new freight cars Is urged by some of the representative dealers. It is declared that Western plants have already demonstrated their ability to turn out first-class cars. Orders for box cars for two of the big railroads have already been let to the plant of Twohy Brothers of Port land. That commercial lumber could be shipped to South America in exchange for nitrates and other materials used by the government, la the belief of A. Baxter, manager of the Douglas Fir Exportation and Exploitation company. He urges that some of the government- built ships from the Pacific coast be used for this purpose.
