II. Knowles of the Twen- ify-thlrd Engineers, formerly of the Multnomah county road -department, to fals wife. 'Yesterday we made a trip up to the front In a truck for souvenirs and we Sure got some.

We found a dugout which had been used as an officers' club -and they ' evidently left la a hurry when the Yanks cams as they left a lot of stuff behind. ,We brought back a good piano and furnishings for a club 'which we fcave for our enlisted men. I guess that's going some when we gather up pianos for souvenirs. "I now have a trunk- full of souvenirs and some are dandles. Among them are two helmets, a -suit of ' body-armour, a : rifle 'and bayonet, a gas mask, a pack, a : trench shovel, a cartridge belt full up, : Some books, an officer's cigar case given blm on his stiver wedding anniversary - and beat of all a phonograph record with two official marches of 'the Ninth ,Xragoon Regiment of Metz composed y the- band master of the regiment.

Henry Russell Talbot, former rector of St. Davids Episcopal church and present chaplain of the jl7th United States engineers, ,in France, possesses magnetism and sympathetic understanding, is asserted by Lucia B. Harrlman. former Portland ' news paper woman, in an article in uie Delineator. Miss Harrlman quotes a story about the Portland divine , from the Oo La La Times, the official pub lication of the engineer unit, known as the "highbrows" of the army. " "The chaplain had been holding serv ices at the base hospital for our men." says the paper. "After the service a man came up to him, and. saluting, Inquired : , ""What Is your religion, chaplain T ""I'm a Christian. At least that's what I try to be,' was the reply. "Oh. hell ; I didn't mean that. I meant what church do you belong to' f " Wel, son, I suppose I'm what you'd call an Episcopalian,' "The soldier looked him over for a minute.

"Then the rest moved on, so I grabbed my stretcher and ran to catch up. Into the village we marched, and away down into the packed cellar of the Red Cross post. I slept crosswise on one- step until early morn. "Real early In the morning Fritz was surprised to find a most hellish shell fire coming over. It sounded like all hell had broken loose in the form of thousands of shells every minute. Still, It was a thrilling hour, and wo knew the big thing had started. After awhile we were called to fall in. Down the hill came the great black tanks, one by one, and crawled right along through the thunder of battle. As we filed up the trail. Frits put a dozen -shells almost against us, and my skin shrunk to about half Its normal size, but he got nobody. "The rest of the day was practically clear sailing, as Heinle had little to use in firing at Mm. The infantry had him on the run. We did not carry stretch ers alone, as lots of prisoners seemed glad to give us a hand fh their way back from the line. Af least, they did so. There were many enemy wounded coming down, too, and all were treated alike.' Our boys treated the prisoners decently, and I'm quite sure that-If I am ever taken prisoner and treated as Recently as I've treated everyone. I shall never kick. I was glad to be of as sistance to the wounded. Our boys gave prisoners drink and food from their own supply. You know. 'If the enemy hunger, feed him,' or something like that. Our squad picked four badly wounded Heinles out .of a machine gun nest, and, after half a day of suffering, we seemed like angels of mercy to them. At last they were out of the war and headed for our hospital. You just can't help but feel for-the wounded. The cas ualtlea on our side were very light. "Over the hills went the Infantry and tanks.

"TO see hundreds of cavalry gallop ing forward to the charge, and also mounted lancers. Is a great "sight. To see artillery galloping down a crowded road, six horses to a gun, swing off the road into position and in two minutes or less do sending shells over to Fritz from right beside where you are stand ing is quite an experience for- certain. 1 have seen quite a number of air llgnts lately, though I have not yet reen a plane brought down directly.

Portland Must Get Share of , Great World Business After War or Lag Behind in Race. ATTORNEYS WILL GIVE AID TO REGISTRANTS IN INDIVIDUAL OFFICES - Local Board No. 1 Clos.es Head quarters as Result of Span ish Influenza. By Marshall If. Pana Expressions of sentiment generally heard about the city Indicate that the proposed $5,000,000 dock bond issu will win a substantial majority at the elec tion next Tuesday, Portland doesn't intend to be left out when the government begins to distrib ute, the operation of the 25,000,000 ton merchant marine with which Jt " will emerge from the war. The reminder from federal authori ties that ports to be usable by the mer chant marine must be equipped with facilities that will assure the quickest possible handling of ships and, cargoes has gotten, with all its significance, deep into the public mind. All Interests Concerned Manufacturers argue reluctant, ac quaintances into voting for the bonds by showing that the water route Is the one best outlet for articles manufac tured from our great, raw, staple pr6d- .ucts and at the name time the one best Inlet for imported raw materials, which are to be transformed by local indus-v! try into finished form. Even the property owners who are so often credited with opposition to public improvements merely to save taxes are chanting among the loudest. "Put the Port in Portland," because, after a few years Of subnormal port activity, they realize how disastrous It would be per manently to separate "Port" and "land." People who want to live here and have jobs and earn wages approve the bond issue as a means of stimulating the In dustry upon which they must live. And expressing like favor in their various ways are the business and professional Interests. , But people are'deallng with the sub ject more intelligently than merely to make a fetich of the phrase, "Develop uie roru The dock bond measure would be de feated, according to all the evidences, if there waa serious fear that local preparation for ship operation would fall behind dock construction. It will be heard in many quarters that business, financial and industrial interests must supplement a strong public port develop ment policy with equally strong pre-ar-rangement to bring actual Increase In trade. While there is no argument that port development must proceed by compre hensive plan, th building of active' water terminal structures is much fa vored. It is averred that public bodies must protect the public against exploita tion at the hands of speculators In the purchase of whatever additional fron tage may be needed. This point Is dwelt upon because It is realized that the- port must get the fullest possible benefit from the money spent In order to, meet the competitive operating costs and service charges of other ports. We want to be able to advertise to the marine world that no port can give better service at lower cost than the port of Portland.

Too Late for Ilecall Salem, Nov. 1. It is too lata to hold a recall election in Coos county against County Commissioner Archie Phillips at the time of the general election next Tuesday, as 10 days' notice must be' given for a recall election. That Is the opinion being given by Attorney Gen eral Brown to District Attorney Hall of Coos count) and affirms the advice the district attorney haLgiven those interested in his county. Support for the ordinance on the city ballot continuing the contract between ttie city and the Oregon Humane society is asked by E. J. Jaeger, a director of the soctty. in a statement issued today: "Every man, woman and child who is a lover of dumb animals." said Mr. Jaeg er, "should consider it his duty and pleasure to vote 'Yes 500" on the ordi nance submitted to the voters by the city council, in which the contract now existing between the city of Portland and the Oregon Humane society will be extended for a period of five years. '6lxty-four of the leading cities ef the United States have long since taken Hhe dog pound out of politics and turned t over to the various humane societies to look after. Portland took a similar progressive action two years ago, the contract expiring this summer. Our mayor, on a recent trip through the east, investigated conditions in other cities where similar contracts are tn - f . force and he. together with former Mayor Albee, unhesitatingly recom mended the making of the contract. The citlsens of Portland by a vote of 11.882 against IL3SS, .voted to grant this con tract two years ago. Under the management of the Hu han ' society , the administration -of the dog pound has been greatly improved. "The humane society has been in ex istence sone 40 years and among Its members are some of the most prom inent citizens of Portland. Its stand Ing is unquestioned. Every dollar re alized from the pound is, 'and must be. spent for humane work within the city limits, and, in addition. ' the society spends for the same work considerable sums contributed by. Its own members. AH officers tof the society serve with out compensation. We ask Portland to support the continuance of this good work." .

PORRANDNANHAD TO QUIT HIS WORK AND STAY AT HOME Takes Tanlac and Is Now Back on Job and Feel ing Fine "I actually believe that If it wasn't for Tanlac I would be down and out to day, instead of being well and strong enough to go back to work again." said Andy Kobek. who is employed ' by the Clark Lumber company and lives at the Couch' hotel. Second and Third streets, Portland, the other day. "My stomach was all out of order for six years." he continued, "and dur ing the past -year my condition became so much worse that. I just had to give up my Job and lay up at home, unable to do a thing. I lost my appetite and could hardly force down a thing. What little I did eat bloated me up with gas; till I felt so miserable I became actually afraid to go to the table, and hardly took enough nourishment to keep me alive. I was badly constipated and suffered from awful headaches. My nerves were all on edge and I was so restless at night that I could hardly sleep and on getting up in the morning I would, feel more tired and fagged out than wfken I went to bed. I fell off In weight and waa getting weaker every day. I lost all my energy and ambition and got down at last to where I could hardly drag myself around. "I tried all sorts of medicines and treatments.' but didn't seem- to get any benefit from anything I took. Hearing so much praise of Tanlac I decided to see -what it would do for me 'and before I had finished my first bottle I could see that I waa gettlnr better, so I kept it up and steadily improved with every dose. I am now on my fourth bottle and have, auch a fine appetite that I en Joy all ' my meals and nothing hurts me at .all. .

In accordance with our desire to do everything that the best interests of the corhmunity might demand to Stamp Out the Spanish Influenza as shown in our whole-hearted co-operation with the recognized agencies and in .other ways we have-decided as a further means of alleviating the situation and hastening the time when normal conditions ma safely be restored that We Will Discontinue Advertising Merchandise for the present and until such time as the danger of the epidemic is surely passed. We con sider that the advertising of .items and prices in however restrained and proper fashion this be done is to some people a suggestion to buy articles with which they might well dispense at this time, although these self-same articles may be essential to other people. . It is proper to state that this determination not to advertise merchandise until an im provement in the influenza outlook has become evident is entirely of our own making, and has not been reached at the instance of the Health Authorities or any one outside of the heads of this business. Business Is a Secondary Consideration With the MEIER & FRANK Store Where the Public Health Is Concerned From the time that the seriousness of the situation became manifest'MElER & FRANK'S has shown an example of co-operation with the National, State, City and Health Authorities that we could wish had been more widely followed or more faithfully observed in spirit by other business concerns. Our patrons have evidenced an admirable spirit of helpfulness and co-operation. We welcome suggestions from them and from the public at large. We reprint some of the things this store is doing to safeguard the shopping public and 2000 loyal MEIER & FRANK employes. We commend them to other institutions in like circumstance to ours: ' Uncarpeted aisles, passageways, stairways, elevators, etc., are cleaned with a strong germicide solution every night. Elevator pits are fumigated nightly, Carpeted aisles and departments are thoroughly gone over with vacuum cleaners every night. Telephone mouthpieces are sterilized daily. The store Is perfectly ventilated and perfectly' heated. Greatly enlarged aisles (tables have been removed from all main thoroughfares) and an abundance of open spaces throughout this great daylight store obviate the slightest tendency to congestion. Our salespeople are now dismissed in relays of three at 5:30 5:45 and 6 P. M. to ease the transit "peak load." We have stood alone in cleaving to the letter as well as the spirit of the adver Using program drawn up for department stores in this emergency we have con fined our daily advertising to half or less than half the space used by us on the corresponding day of last year; we have omitted the publication of special sale offerings; we have restricted our advertising to such merchandise as was approved by the Mayor for publicity purposes. r Use the Telephone ! he Home Phone where possible to order necessi ties. 'There is a Home Phone as well as a Pacific Phone in every one of our 60 odd departments5. We have a very efficient telephone switchboard (Mar. 4600, A-6101) and six of the most capable exchange opera tors. There are 34. trunk lines to serve you and 297 house phones. .
