FrodsctloaiOreatly Increased The spruce production division, prior to the termination of Its work, had the satisfaction of knowing it had won a victory In Its way as decisive as the ,jrtumph 'at the front in France. The tremendous demands of America and the allies for aircraft material were more than met ; tha-needs of-the belligerents mora than filled. Shipments reached the total of more than 20,000,000 feet of clear airplane stock in October and the qual ity had been so Improved that orders calling for 30.000,000 feet a month were revamped. The organization of some 30.000 enlisted men and others, aggregat ing about 100.000 men, was built up In about a year. The production of spruce had never exceeded 2.500,000 feet a month before the spruce production division assumed its task and much of the material was unavailable for aircraft because it was not sawed to grain. Pout-War Devetopmeat Waited The aircraft production campaign In Oregon was carried on with remarkable freedom from labor troubles.. The I. W. W. element was eradicated from the camps at the very beginning. The Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen played an Important part in harmoniz ing all differences and producing active cooperation between employers and men. Both employes and employers pledged themselves to the eight hour day. ef- fective during and after the war. ( Should airplane construction commer cially on a vast scale be undertaken following the war. Oregon and Wash ington will be found to possess an or ganisation and equipment more than equal to, all requirements. The cost of the equipment has approximated $10. ' 000,000. The wider and more varied use of airplanes in the transportation of peace is anticipated as a natural eveintuation of" the expert training of thousands of aviators for war flights. Airplane driving has become almost as well controlled as automobile driving. Big- Project Is Closed Down Marshfield. Nov. 13. It waa an" nounced yesterday that the spruce pro ject started at Beaver Hill by the Port land Lumber company, under the direc tipn of the spruce production division of the army; will close down at once. A railroad had been built, a cantonment accommodating 600 men constructed, 20 donkey engines, a plledrlver and a large amount of machinery was on the ground. Nearly 400 men were employed, mostly soldiers. The troops will be withdrawn at once. Bridges had been built and thousands of dollars expended, but the work will stop on account of the war ceasing. The plan was to cut spruce and cedar for airplane stock on an enormous scale. French Officers Believed Armistice Signed Thursday Pat Is. Nov. 13. (U. P.)

The actual sigrrvhg- of the armistice opens the way to that peace congress of" which the world has been talking for the past four years. In that perjod there has been a growing appreciation of the fact that -a -general settlement, comparable in its magnitude to that of Vienna in. 1815, was inevit able, when a t last the time came to liquidate the present Struggle. What has never--been properly per ceived in this country is the magnitude of the task and the obstacles which make it almost ' inevitable that many, many months will elapse before the signatures are written under the de finitive document, the reasons why a I settlement, even within the limits of ' next year, are slight in the extreme.
