Hlkfntr through parts of 'France and on through Belgium into Luxemburs with the .army of occupation; has been the lot of Private Wilbur Thacker, who has been in service with the 117th rep' ment. TJ. S. eneineers. He writes hi3 mother, Mrs. G. W. Thacker, of Bux ton, Or., from Luxemburg as follows : We thought the French people treat el ua five but wh n wi.came through Belgjum I never was better treated any where In my life. When we stopped towns at night they took us into thir homes and gave us everything good to eat. The people in Luxemburg seem to be rather nice, but they speak (Jer ma'H. We had started to the German border to do guard duty, but we have been here five days. We heard we were going back to France and another divi sion 'would take our place. Maybe you think there wasn't a happy bunch when they heard the war was ended. I think the first division over here will be the first to be sent home. The 42d division (Rainbow) has done its part and was on the front from February until the fighting ceased. "I got one of those long, slim bayo nets run through my leg just below the knee' writes Donald I 'age; nephew of Miss Grace E. Page of The Dalles, who has been in Northern Russia, where as a member of the band on Dewey's old flagship Olympla he was in a Bkirmish with the Bolshevikl at Archangel. He writes further that they took him out of the hospital sooner than he really should have been discharged, because he was so greatly needed in the baud, and adds: "You see, they figured the band could do more good ashore play ing than the others could do by fighting, end I think we did qiflte a little tn get ting Archangel to put out the Bolshe vik! and live Jike civilized people. The band was mentioned by General Poole, the English general, and the king sent a note of thanks mentioning the work done -by the fine bank of the U. S. S. cruiser Olympia while in Russia." Pa M Among the 68 men who received en plgns' commission at tha naval train ing station at Seattle were a number of Oregon boys, the boys from Portland including S. M. Davis, E. V. Martin, W. A, Strong. II. R. Sellick and J. J. Stahl. also H. A. Frame of Talent, Or., and V. R. Hamel of Salem. Committee Decides $d Investigate the Condition of Labor The reconstruction committee, au thorized by the recent Oregon Recon struction convention, decided at Its meeting for organization In the coun cil chambers Monday afternoon to as certain exactly what Is the labor sit uation. A special committee consisting of A. F. Flegal, Julius L. Meier, W. F. Prler, Drake C. O'Reilly and A. G. . Clark was appointed by the mayor to make a "labor survey." The commit tee also decided to call upon the legis lature to cure .speedily the defect - in : tV hill nnrnnrinllncr 1100 000 for the ' aid of returned soldiers , in order that . the money may be made available.

Seely Hopes that some mistake might have been made in announcing the death of Chester J. Seely by the war department have practically been given up by friends of the" young man. Seely was reported in dispatches from Washington as having been wounded on September 27. Later dispatches an nounced his death on September 30. A dispatch was also received by his family stating that he had died on September 13. Because of these conflicting reports hope has been maintained that there was some mistake. But as no word has been received from the young man for some time, his friends believe the re port announcing his death on Septem ber 30 is true. Seely left Portland last July for Camp Lewis and after but a short period of training was sent east and thence to France, arriving there the latter part of August. Before entering the army last sum mer, Seely was employed by the North west Steel company and previous to that attended the Jefferson high school. Chester J. Seely was 23 years of age and uveas the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Seely, 143 West Liberty street. Casualty List Gives Mother News of the Death of Her Son The official casualty list announce ment of the death of Rexford E. Barto, killed in action," was the first intima tion that his mother, Mrs. Myrtle Barto, 685 Tacoma street, had of his death. The last letter received from Barto was dated September 22 and mentioned that his unit, the Thirty-eighth infan try of the Third division, would prob ably move into action soon. Rexford Barto was employed In the woolen mills at Oregon City for a num ber of years. He served In the National Guard also for a time. He was in Michi gan last spring, where he enlisted in the army. He was stationed first at Camp Custer and July 11, 1918, sailed for France. Mrs. Barto is seeking confirmation of tho report from Washington. Boy's Foot Crushed Under Streetcar .While attempting to board a moving St. Johns car at the Portsmouth station about 3 :40 p. m. Monday, Gelmer Max well, 12 years of age, fell beneath the wheels and suffered a badly crushed foot. He was removed to the Good Sa maritan hospital, where it was found that amputation of the foot may be necessary. The boy. who lived with his parents at 1716 Gloucester street, was on his way to the city, and ran to catch the car which had just started. His hand slipped as he grabbed the handhold. The car was quickly stspped and the injured boy carried to a nearby drug store and thence to the hospital. Plea in Behalf of French Orphan Made "Three Fingered Jack" Godwin, who makes a business of Inducing I. W. W. to surrender their red cards, and Miss Brenda Francklyn of the International committee for the fatherless children of France, were the speakers before the members' forum of the Chamber of Commerce Monday afternoon. Miss Francklyn besought of Portland busi ness men their financial support in car ing for the little children in the oc cupied sections of France, whose fath ers were killed during the great war. Charles F. Berg, chairman of the forum, presided. Mr. Motorist The traffic ordinance makes it un lawful for a vehicle approaching a street intersection from the left to take right of way. At all intersections the ve hicle approaching from the right of another vehicle shall have the right of way.
