He tried to cover his excitement, but when the "Hello" came from the other end, he could restrain himself no longer, and fairly shouted into the phone, "la that you, mother, dear?" And far the first time in 18 months of wearying suspense. Mrs. C. P. Son nlchsen of Hood River heard the voic of her only son, who had thoughtfully left the train at The Dalles to tell his mother that he would meet her in less than two hours.

"Thia caused con fusion and some sharp criticism, par ticularly at the rough manner In which policemen attempted to handle the peo ple. Reserved stage seat tickets, given out at the subscription dinner at tha Ben son hotel earlier in the evening to those who had subscribed for the maintenance bf the Northwest organization, proved of no value to tha holder in many cases, when on presentation at the door no later than 8 o'clock the announced hour for opening holders were told the stage seats were all occupied. As one of the reasons for these con ditions it was explained that the execu tive staff at The Auditorium had a two-fold task on its hands, entertaining the returning soldiers at a big dinner and Immediately afterward rearranging the whole interior of the building to prepare for tha peace league conference. The eager crowd broke beyond re straint, occupying all seats, reserved or not, and even overflowing over into the press box so that the newspaper men got their reports by painfully peeking through a door leading to the basement. After a door at the northeast corner of the big structure had stuck eo that it required tha united strength of a man inside and a! man outside to open it to let people out, there were both com plaints and promises that in future such contingencies would be anticipated.

The committee appointed by the mayor consists of Franklin T. Griffith, chairman ; Emery Olmstead. Charles F. Berg, John Clark Burgard and Everett Ames. A Joint session waa held Tuesday morning by this committee and I PL Bailey, chairman, and Charles W. Eng lish, executive secretary, of the Better Business bureau. One of the complaints received by the committee and the bureau is said to be that the organisation is consuming the greater part of the proceeds from con tributions and the sale of tickets for a benefit dance In paying large salaries and that the salary account for Febru ary was scheduled at $950. It is asserted that the men officering the organization make the same appeals to sympathy and generosity us though they were overseas veterans, although as a matter of fact only one of them has seen overseas service. or y-ouf iirrii cQ'Ltn 22 The Great World War made large de mands on America.

Lack of coordination with established erganixatlons of war veterans is suggested-and it 'Is also said that the back ing and indorsement of - local men of known standing and Integrity was not sought by the promoters of the United American War Veterans. Some confusion' as to the exact na ture of the organization has been re ported. The United American War Veterans has been presented In one hearing as being a "national organiza tion with headquarters In New York and with an affiliate branch In Ore gon, unft at another time as being a national organization, but that the Ore gon branch was the "World War Vet erans of Oregon," and that it was not as yet, formally affiliated with the na tional organisation. Inquiry in New York Is said to have brought a telegram that national headquarters of the United American War Veterans had not been located, but It waa suggested that being a new organisation it might not be known to the routine reporting agencies. v -W. L. Reauveau, Pacific division com mander of the United American War Veterans, who recently returned from service at . Camp Lewis, . said ; "Our books are open to any inspection. Our purposes are honorable. We will meet any test. Our ealary account is purely incident to the necessities of initial or ganization work and or standing in the future will be secure.
