EVEN COOK TURNS GREEN Seasoned Members of the Crew Work Overtime, but Record Is Made Despite Situation. That life on board ship Is not what some of the story books say It 1b, Is the concensus! of opinion of several col ored men of the Orant Smith-Porter Ship company, who accompanied the new wooden Bteamer Moraine, on her Official trial trip Sunday. The colored contingent went along to do their bit as members of the Improvised crew. After the venel reachgd the heaving: bosom of the Pacific and started on her 14-hour run, there was Just one place on this mundane sphere where those colored men wanted to be and that was ashore. Overcome by that feeling of seasickness which usually Is the lot of "landlubbers," the colored men were rendered helpless. Some took to their bunks In the forecastle and others lay prostrate In the coal bunkers, while the ship rolled and pitched in the heavy Ma. The members of the crew who had seafaring experience, had to do double duty. Kven the ship'H cook got sick and the stove In the galley was as cold as the stinging easterly wind. The ship made her run In remarkable fashion, however, according to Captain Pearson, pilot. Everything worked well and the ability of the ship to take care of herself was proved, It Is declared.

The Austro-Hunganan ultimatum to Serbia was dispatched on July 23. 1914. Copenhagen, Nov. 25. The Turkish government, according to a Berlin dis patch, has formally demanded from the German revolutionary government the return of Talaat Pasha and several Turkish generals who fled to Germany. Turkey proposes to punish Talaat Pasha and the generals for the Armenian atrocities. Prussian Leadership Opposed Amsterdam, Nov. 24. Increasing ef forts by the republic of Bavaria to re place Prussia as the leader in the af fairs of Germany are indicated by the latest German advices. Kurt Eisner, the new Bavarian premier, who, as a radical Journalist, throughout the war condemned the militarist policy of Prus sia, has gone to Berlin, according to a Munich dispatch, to demand the resig nation of Baron von der Bussche and those responsible for the war. He will further demand that all these men be placed on trial, the dispatch says. This is the first inkling allowed to go abroad that Von der Bussche and oth ers who held important positions In the imperial government were retained in their offices. Baron von der Bussche, onetime coun sellor of the German embassy in Wash ington and later ead of the American department of the German foreign office, has been under-secretary of state for foreign affairs since the Hertllng re gime. Quick Victory Was Expected -London, Nov. 25. (I. N. S.) The Prus sian general staff reckoned on defeating France within one month In 1914, basing this belief upon France's shortage of rifles, according to a news agency dis patch from Munich today. The Munich Korrespondenz is publishing an official report on the origin of the war, divided as follows : 1. Conditions were deliberately im posed upon Serbia, enforcing a conflict; 2. Berlin gave Vienna a free hand, even risking war with Russia ; 3. The plan was for the kaiser and the German government to be outwardly surprised at Austria's action ; 4. The Prussian general staff, calcu lating on France's shortage of rifles and howitzers, reckoned on the defeat of France In a month. Ex-Kaiser Proving Unpopular New York. Nov. 25. (I. N. S.)

Garfield, fuel administrator, are convinced that he ia under consideration at the White House for the treasury position. The naming of a man for the position of direotor of the nation"s railroads Is so fraught with difficulties that few ob servers are willing to hazard a guess as to who will be offered the place. The names of a number of railroad presi dents have been discussed, but the lean ing of the administration toward ulti mate government ownership is thought to preclude, them as possibilities. It is recognized that the administration of the railroads during the coming two years will play a strong part in the com piling of the brief in support of govern mental ownership. Employes Want McAdoo Chicago. Nov. 25. Railroad em ployes representing the entire west ern system will recommend permanent government control of all railroads.

"We will ask Mr. McAdoo to recon sider his resignation," "Mr. Moore said, "and we intend to appeal to President Wilson to secure adequate compensa tion for Mr. McAdoo in his capacity as director general of railroads. If he In sists on resigning as secretary of the treasury, we will use every effort to persuade him not to abandon the rail road administration." Mr. Moore said railroad men wUl give President Wilson their whole-Hearted support in any effort to prevent the roads from going back to private own ership.

WOODEN SHIP CONTRACTS ARE SUSPENDED (Continued From Taja On) tion regarding the future of the busin ess. These communications stated that the Oregon situation was decidedly un satisfactory now because of the vacant wayB in some yards, the large amount of capital tied up in the plants and the uncertainty of being able to keep the yards running full blast for the year 1919. Answer Comes Indirectly Questions asked of the federal au thorities included the Inquiry whether J or not If the government should let more The answer to these Inquiries was not delivered up to today, and the official word cancelling contracts for govern ment wooden ships, keels for which had not been laid, appears to have defi- nitely answered -the question so far as the government's program is concerned. The Supple & Ballirt yard is now building its eleventh ship, and the keel for the twelfth was to have been start ed within two weeks. The largest wooden ship plant In the Oregon district is the Grant Smith-Porter Ship company of Portland. The plant has launched 25 ships and has made a world record for speed and ef ficiency. Among the other wooden yards hold- When Itching Stops There is one safe, dependable treat ment that relieves itching torture and skin irritation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin. Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon you will find that irritations, pimples, blackheads, eczema, blotches, tingwutia and similar skin troubles will disappear. A little zemo, the penetrating, satis tying liquid, is all that is needed, for it banishes most skin eruptions, makes the skin soft, smooth and healthy. Tha E. W. Kose Co.

The yard had previously com pleted one steamer, and considerable ex pense has been incurred In getting the ways ready for the larger building pro gram. What significance the cancellation or der will have on the proposed 5000-ton ship of the Columbia river type, does not yet appear, officially. The plans for the vessel have been approved anil the working model Is now at the headquar ters of the Emergency Fleet corporation in the Northwestern National bank building. The government has not as yet let any contracts for this particular type of ship. The design had been worked out to employ the heavy fir tim bers peculiar to the Northwest, and ex perts who have examined them are of the opinion that the 5000-ton ship. If glve.i a trial, would prove the salvation of the wooden shipbuilding future of the Pacific coast. The cancelling order came from th boi.rd of trustees of the United States shipping board. Burleson Expected To Order Company To Take Legal Step Salem. Nov.- 25. In view of. a tele- gram sent Saturday night by the public service commission to Postmaster Gen eral Burleson, quoting the section of the Oregon law which applies to the regu lation of telephone rates. Commissioners Buchtel and Corey said today they are expecting a reply from Burleson advls lng the commission that he is ordering the Pacific Telephone &. Telegraph com pany to make proper application to the commission for an Increase In rates. Vrom the tone of the messages we have received from the postmaster gen eral we know he has been misinformed by the telephone company as to the manner In which the company attempted to raise ita rates." said Commissioner Buchtel. "Now that the commission has clearly Informed him of the facts we believe that he will direct the com pany to proceed in a legal way to seek an increase In rates." But if Postmaster General Burleson does not recognize the authority of tho Oregon commission, then It is probable the commission will go Into the federal courts to test the question of jurisdic tion.
