MEETING HELD ON MONDAY Proposal of Operators Which Has Purpose of Speeding .Spruce r and Fir Production Accepted. A compact of cooperation that Is ex pected to harmonize workingmen and employer in the lumber Industry of the Northwest, not only during; the war but afterward, was entered Into by the worklnrmen at the meeting of 1500 dele Kates representing: the 75.000 members of the coast division of the Loyal Legion of Logger" and Lumbermen, at The Au ditorium Monday. The agreement proposed by the lum ber operators as a means of speeding up 'spruce and fir production was ac cepted In Its Important features by the men. Colonel Brlce P. Dlsque, commander of the spruce production division, was railed upon to serve as sole arbitrator. Ha had been asked to assume that re lation to the work by the lumber op erators. Confidence In Dlsqae The climax of the session was the spontaneous adoption by the men of a resolution In appreciation of the genius in organisation displayed by Colonel Dlsque and unanimously testifying to their confidence In him. - Specially engaged trolley cars car ried the delegates to the spruce cut-up plant In Vancouver this morning. The men who loir the spruce were shown with what "painstaking care every piece that wllll serve as a wing beam or stay brace for an airplane Is being sawed so that It will be absolutely straight In grain and free of every defect.' The resolutions constituting the agree ment to which the workingmen sub scribed were as follows : Resolutions of Agreement 1. We agree to article No. 2 In bul letin No. S, relative to the basic eight hour day and the perpetuation of same both now and after the war. 2. We request a maximum and mini mum scale of wages. X Every man working In the campsj or miiis, we Donev. snouia Decome a member of the Loyal Legion. 4. We request Colonel Dlsque to act as sole arbltrato- and agree to abide by his decision on k.11 labor questions that may , arise while he, is occupying his present position. 6. Whereas, the Loyal Legion of loggers and Lumbermen Is one of the most patriotic labor organisations In ine worm, ne u resojvea inat we, as members, pledge ourselves to our utmost to ssslst the government In winning tne war and crushing the kaiser, and . Be It resolved, that a . vote of . thanks be tendered to the Rev. Dr. Boyd for his opportune remarks : also to Colonel Dlsque and his coworkers and to the city of Portland for the courteous reception extended to us.

N. a) Nation wide strike of telegraphers is threatened asraln today, according to memMn of the Commercial Telegraphers' union, fol lowing continued discnarge ot operat ors "who wear the button" by the West era Union Telegraph company. S. J. Konenkamp, president of the union, said that he had heard from various cities where discharges had been made and that Wednesday is the day set by the local, men to walk out, if redress is not made. Mors than 1000 men are affected so far. he said, by the refusal the company to recognize the right to organize. At a meeting of local telegraphers yesterday, resolutions, protesting against the action of the Western Union wers adopted and wired to Mr. Burleson. Every effort. Mr. Konenkamp asserted, is made by the union officials to obtain justice and at the same time prevent a strike. A conference between Postmaster-general Burleson and Mr. Konenkamp Is set for Wednesday, and it is probable no action on the part of the men will be taken, pending that conference. RETREAT ON LONG LINE HINTED AT BY BERLJfJ (Continued From Pic On.) however, that the- following letter from soldier in the Marne operations to a friend newly arrived at the British front from Germany gives a fair Idea of the sentiment of a large part of the army: "You should be a thick thinker, W now shirk all we can, for ws are only fighting now for the bigwigs. At the Mania wo did not get very far. Our regiment was nearly wiped out. "War is becoming the greatest mas sacre that ever was. What is going to happen I don't know. Germany Is slow ly crumbling to pieces." There is evidence that desperate ef forts are in progress to coerce Austria to help the Germans in Prance with neutral labor and help from Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey. Russia is being solicited, in order to free German work men for military duty, but with all this help can the Germans construct a real offensive? Prisoners frankly hay they do not believe the Germans can continue an offensive movement. It is too soon to start throwing our hats into the air or to collect beta, but with ordinary caution ajid redoubled ef forts, particularly in America, from where the allied reserves are pouring, the fifth year of the. war ought to see its nnish. There is gunfire In certain areas, oar ticularly In the Givenchy region, north of the La Bassee canal, where German ar tillery is active, probably covering iunner retirement. rnousands or gas sneus were thrown Into St. Venant Mon day and the Tpres. Fletre and Hinges sectors, ana tne back areas were shelled. British patrols continue extremely busy. Likewise, British artillery is har assing German communications every where. This front appears to be in creasingly uncomfortable for the Boches, prisoners declaring numerous positions have been rendered untenable. The weather continues showery, adding to their discomfort. Abovt) Some of selectives from local boards leaving The Auditorium where breakfast was served, to Union sta tion, where entrainment was made for Camp Fremont. Below "Checked through to Berlin." There were goodbyes and tears and prayers that made the farewell break fast tendered by the city of Portland to the 250 draft men who started today for Camp Fremont more than usually impressive. It was- impressive because among' tne 250 were some of the "new class" of draft registrants lads who have come of age since June, 1917. Six tables placed on the stage seated the entire contingent, together with representatives of the local draft boards who accompanied them. . Arrangements for a dinner to have been given Monday night had already, been made when instruction came from the local boards to postpone the .dem onstration because of the necessity ef 'reexamining the men, and it was too late to change the menu. Hence pie and all the other "flxlngs" : for a big dinner werfl-served in the early hour of the morning. With Gladys Morgan Farmer at the organ, playlnr "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp," the inductees marched upon the stage, according to local boards, and arranged themselves at the tables. Invocation was pronounced by Dr. W. J. Beaven, after which the men fell to. ; Acting Mayor Blgelow presided and gave a short talk, wishing the boys Godspeed. Talks were made by Marshall N. Dana roona and panic sowers, according to German press dispatches received here from Copenhagen. TABLELAND BETWEEN VESLE AND AISNE IS POUNDED (Coa tinned From Fu.

North of Montdldler the French made a successful attack against the German lines near Branches and crossed the Avre river. The Germans attempted a surprise at tack below Montdldler, but were thrown back with losses, leaving some prison ers in the hands ef the French. The text of the official statement follows : "We progressed as far as the Avre river between Br aches and MorlseL "A surprise attack by the enemy southeast of Montdldler resulted in our taking some prisoners. "On the Vesle river (Aisne-Maroe front), our advanced elements maintain their positions on the right (northern) bank of the river, despite enemy re sistance." Marae-Veale Front, Aur. 5 (Night) (I.

Is in hiding In the country between Hlllsboro and Scappoose, Warden Murphy today issued a warning to all persons living in that vicinity to be on the lookout for the convict, and. If he is seen, to Im mediately notify the penitentiary au thorities. Warden Murphy and two guards went to Gaston yesterday In response to a repojt that Thompson had been seen In that neighborhood. They returned short ly before noon today without obtaining any definite trace of the outlaw. He has received another report that Thomp son was seen in the vicinity of Scap poose by a man who knows him by sight. This report was to the effect that Thompson Is armed, and. If he Is, the warden expressed the belief that Thompson will stop at no lengths to avoid capture. ALL AMERICAN FLYERS LIVE UP TO EMBLEM full retreat toward the Alsne has forced them to abandon positions along the Avre and Ancre rivers and near Gi venchy.' The Teuton hordes are face to face with three rock-bottom facts : First, the German summer campaign, so far. Is a complete failure ; second, their reserves are badly used up: third, they are equaled, If not outnumbered, by eager forces, which are being In creased weekly by tens of thousands of absolutely fit Americans, who are fidg eting with Impatience to ' get at the Germans. Von Hlndenburg and Von Ludendorff. the German leaders, have only one card left to play, and It is a card of. doubt ful value. It consists of a complete re arrangement of the western front, suit ing it to the altered conditions by short ening the line and adopting a defensive strategy behind rivers and other natu ral barriers.. Hopelessness Invades Hnn Army This plan, would Involve the selection of one spot where the remnants of the armies from everywhere would be col lected to try for a decision. This bid for victory, If made, must have the devil's luck, plus all possible aid from the German Gott. plus a large element of the miraculous. Without these con ditions, this bid must fall, after which the last spark of Germany's hopes is gone forever. Over the wreck of what was once the world s greatest offensive army hovers today the oppressive shadow of defeat. Prisoners admit there Is a spirit of hopelessness In the German camp, wnicn is gradually spreaaing to all parts of the army. I have not spoken or pessimistic let ters from Germans to their homes, be cause I believed they did not represent the general feeling. I am convinced. Prince Deplores Pessimism London, Aug. 6. (I, N.

(U. P.) Raiding op- rations In Flanders and enemy artillery activity on both the Flanders and Plc- ardy fronts were reported by Field Marshal Haig today. "An attempt by the enemy yesterday to capture one of our posts northwest of Merris was repulsed by our counter attack." the statement said. "We cap tured a few prisoners and machine guns last night In the Nleppe forest sector. "Hostile artillery has been acUve with gas shells north of Vlllers-Breton- neux ad has shown activity also about Bucquoy and north of Bethune." Americans Silence. Hun Guns With the American Army on the 1 AN EASY WAY TO GET RID OF WIND AND SUNBURN (CoBtlmwd from Fc On) did have the say as to whether we would fight or. not. We always have had to carry out the hat-ln-the-rlng Idea and go after them. "Song" Campbell First Aee " T)oug Campbell added the fin ishing touch to the hat-ln-the-rlng emblem when he got his fifth Hun and became the first ail-American trained ace. "Somewhere he scared up a paint brush and painted a little black cross in the ring around the hat for each German he had brought down. They were regular German crosses. Just like the ones you see on German planes just before you let them have It. "You want to look at Doug's col lection of crosses. He started them in one end of the ring and made them real small. Therer are now seven of them In the ring, but they stretch barely a quarter of the way across the ring-. That Is Doug's quiet way of showing his confidence in getting a lot of Boches before the war is over. Doug wants to have room for all the crosses neces sary across the ring, and he's made thera small. Patting Crosses la the Blags "The rest of the boys are now putting crosses in the rings as soon as they land Germans, and we're getting quite a collection of black iron crosses In the glmper squadron. "For holes made by the Germans in our. planes we also make crosses, provided the holes are of large, enough, size. Some of the smaller ones are too common, but the large ones can be patched wlthV a big cross. "Not a few . of the glmpers put other pictures on the planes by way of inspiration. - I think the best stunt was that of a glmper who pasted Howard Chandler Christy's war poster of the Liberty girl on the lower wing of the machine, where he could, always see It. The poster has the words 'Buy Liberty bonds or fight for her; which will you dot , "As the gtmper explained to us, it Inspired htm to fight " 1 see a Boche up there, then al ways look at the girl wing,' he said. 'It says buy bonds or : fight. I haven't any money and couldn't buy a bond up there If I wanted to, so there's nothing to do but fight. That's the way the Sir 1 Inspires me.' "We have been out here long enough to know that the glmpers will live up to the hat-ln-the-rlng Idea, and they never run away from a fight. The Idea was a happy one and it has a lot to do with the mo rale of the squadron.
