RED
SUPPLY
SEATTLE
SHIP FROM
TO FRANCE
Portland Chapter Will Rush
Three Carloads of Supplies
To Puget Sound.
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.

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

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

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.

THE Multnomah chapter. Daughters of
the American Revolution, held an
interesting meeting at the home of Mrs.
Charles - Gauld. The members present
voted to purchase another Liberty bond,
beside helping in restoration work in
France. Attention of the members waa
called to the drive for dish clothes
for. -the Oregon regiment, and to the
sale of yarns in the large stores.
Mrs. Phillips told' of a recent visit
to the pofit hospital at .Vancouver bar
racks. She was shown every part of
the buildings, the kitchen, store rooms
and wards. She found everything
clean and well ordered, the patients
well fed and well cared for and quan
tities of all necessary supplies on hand.
This was true of the isolation wards
as well as the general hospital. ' It
was urged that each member give this
report wide publicity, as rumors to the
contrary are alarming and quite un
founded. The chapter listened to a
most convincing address by Miss Grace
Parker of New York, telling in a
spirited way of the sacrifices and
loyalty of , our British sisters. Miss
Parker urged upon us the duty of
war work, of each doing our whole
bit, which means all we have, and
doing It every day and all the time as
the men who wear uniforms for us are
doing. Miss Parker closed with an
appeal for greater spirituality a con
tinuing prayer from each of us for
the success of the armies in France.
