I am to a huge American camp, and ; it is only when I occasional ly visit a large nearby city that I feel a strangeness. : "Our trip over the Atlantic was practically eventless and was novel only In the fact that It was made under wartime conditions. We ate around like your dog does, with our ears cocked for an alarm, but none came. "Winter i on the Atlantic is usually very rough, but we struck mild weather for the most part, and sometimes were on deck Without wearing coats. "Over here I am in Oregon. The weather is mild, the air is soft and the fields and meadows are green as the open places in our own Willamette val ley. One 'day I was out on a labor detail and our lunch was eaten in a pasture.

The houses are ever so eld. All are of stone, the country enes thatched, while the city buildings have slate roofs. There are floor. Central no fences and scarcely any straight (Adv.) lines.

"One sees many French women in mourning and many crippled soldiers. The spirit is splendid, however, and the people are confident of victory.

AMSTERDAM CITY AOfflORHS FACIN G WAGE RISE PROBLEM Advances for Both Skilled and Unskilled Men Are Said to . Be Contemplated. City officials of Portland are not the only public men confronted with the task of raising money with which to pay dtyj employes a higher wage, for according to United States Consul Frank W. Mahln In The Netherlands, the Amsterdam city authorities are con templating an increase in wages for both skilled and unskilled labor. There 1s complaint that the Increase Is unequal mong different works and trades, but it appears that in practical ly all cases the proposed wages are above those paid for similar work' by i private employers. ' . 1 : The proposed wages for municipal : workers would be 0.83 florin (.ll) an" hour, for unskilled and 0.J7 florin (8.15) for painters, plasterers, smiths, horse shbeis and carpenters. For extra work and kvertime, these wages would be in cread 5 or 10 per cent. In factories and other private indus tries, wages have been advanced In effect from time to time since the war began, by extra allowances of 6, 10 or an even greater per cent, because of the higher cost of living, which arrange ment, leaves the rate of wages un changed, and therefore is supposed to obviate the probable difficulty of re ducing wages when the cheaper time of peace returns. . John Tyler of New York will . be the speaker at a meeting for men at 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon In the Y. M. C. Aj auditorium. He is announced as one of the most picturesque characters and effective speakers traveling today under the auspices of the Y. M. C A. war work council. As a tramp he cir cled the world five times.

A. includes the following features: At 9 a. m., a song service conducted by the "Wideawake" chorus; at 1 o'clock, a concert by the seven-piece orchestra of the Sunnyslde Congregational Christian Endeavor; at 2 p. m a moving picture entertainment. .The usual hour Of the afternoon meeting Is 8 o'clock but It has been postponed oa account of the "Lib erty Sunday" program.
