DUTCH SHIPS TAKE
Five Leave American Ports; Food
Situation in The Nether
lands Is Relieved.
Washington. Nov. 21. (I. X. S.)
Five large Dutch steamships, loaded
with cargoes of flour, hsve left Ameri
can ports to relieve the food shortage
in The .Netherlands, it wss announced
jthls afternoon by the wsr trade board.
The ships are the OJebres. Sirrah,
Jssoa. Cornells and Amsterdyk. They
left Holland under authorisation of the
war- trade board.
' The shipment of this flour supply is
one of the first steps in line with the
recently; announced policy of the United
States government In feeding the coun
tries whose food supplies have been ex
hausted by the war.
Holland, Known to be in critical
straits as regards food, has now been
enabled to make a second Increase in
the bread rations to Its peoples, this
time to 300 grams per day, or more
than 4H pounds per week, the war trade
board announced. Help from the United
States and associated governments has
made this possible..
The ships that left with the flour sup
ply were part of the Dutch tonnage
requisitioned in American ports by the
' United ; States. The war trade board
. nnvuncra inn in return tor mi use oi
these ships to haul food, the Dutch gov
ernment Is to release an equivalent
mount, of tonnage to ply In western
Atlantic trade, as the five released ships
would have been used.
The sollapse of the German sub
marine blockade of Holland has en
abled The Netherlands government to
dispatch a large quantity of tonnage
from Holland.

Petain Deserves

EW YORK, Nov. 21. By
ready held by froch and
merely performed a duty
have been to awaken surprise and even criticism in the whole
world. The defender of Verdun unquestionably earned the right
to the dislintion already ibestowed upon the victors of the first
and the second Marne. Foch, Joffre and Petain are. clearly the
prominent French soldiers of this war, and no other nation can
claim for any three of its generals ecfual glory.
Before Verdun, Petain had earned
reputation for his offensive in Cham
pagne in 1915. Mis was the first con
siderable victory of the allies after thi
initiative had passed to them. It had
only local results and was In no sense
decisive, but it yielded more than 25.000
prisoners, more than 100 guns and
brought the first real sense of victory
to Paris and to London.
Terdaa Was Great Test
Before Champagne. Petain had been
remarked as a rising officer a scholar
and teacher, like Foch, who had been
able In practice to employ his princi
ples successfully. But Verdun was the

Salem. Nov. --SI. Governor . .Wlthy
combe announced today that he will ap
point Robert1- LY Stevens, former sheriff
of if ultnomah county;, as- warden t the
state penitentiary, ;to take effect about
the first of the year. To ' do this tha
chief executive will request Warden
Charles A. Murphy to resign.
In the four years that Wlthycombe
has been governor there have' been four
wardens at the penitentiary. Stevens
will make the fifth to take a fling at
managing that institution during the
present administration.
The reason assigned by the governor
for the discharge of Murphy is extrava
gance in management of tbe prison. The
cost of maintaining the penitentiary has
been mounting, and-the governor, says
he attributes some of it to unnecessary
leaks which a competent manager would
plug up.
A contributing factor to Murphy'a dis
charge, no aouoi, is ine irouDie wnicn p
Vina oxlKtiul hetween the warden - and
Parole Officer Joe Keller. Similar, trou
ble led to the discharge of Warden Law
son and Warden. John Mtn to. However.
the governor aaj"a the mounting' cost of
the prison is the'only reason. .
"I have high regard for Warden Mur
phy as a man," said Governor Withy
combe today. "He is clean. and has good
intentions, but there is something lack
ing at the institution. The expense has
been piling. up in a manner which I do
not think is warranted.
"The greatest leak fs in the commis
sary department. Convicts - have . too
much leeway there. They take things
out and scatter them among themselves.
There Is a lack of close discipline over
convicts in that department.
"I have known Mr. Stevens for over
20 years. He is a shrewd, keen business
man, and that is what I want at the
prison. I think he can take hold of that
Institution and put it on an efficient,
business basis."
Mr. Stevens is now in New York,
where he' has lived the .last few years,
but he Js expected to return1 to .Oregon
In time to take the new position by the
first of the year.

Investment of approximately 10,000,

The governments of Great Britain,
