regulations provide; When given their
choice many newcomers prefer the tents
to the barracks. The same Is true of a
part of the permannent garrison. There
Is no question of their warmth. The
correspondent visited several on one of
the coldest nights Brest has experienced
this winter. , j
Thla describes the condition the aver
age" tralnload of soldiers find, but oc
casionally the failure of transports to
arrive on time, resulting in crowding,
causing emergency utilisation of un
floored tents. In such cases the perma
nent troops turn out and collect duck
boards from storehouses with which tem
porary "floors are made.
Good Food Served the Hen
" Before the big dock kitchen was com
pleted the kitchen crews also used to
turn out and get up meals for the new
comers, no matter what the hour.
The tented areas are well drained, re
gardless Of the rain. The newcomers
-are. Warm and dry their first night.
The next morning they are given a
breakfast of braized beef, cornmeal
mush, bread and Jam or syrup and
coffee. They are given a bath which is
designed to remove any vermin, aha
leave all their clothes behind, receiving
a complete new outfit. Then they move

bread and coffee. This is one day's
typical menu for men and officers alike.
The menu varies among the kitchens
and. from day to day.
Wash Own Mess Kit
- The result Is that there is keen com
petition for the prize riven the kitchen
judged to be serving - the men best a
week's leave every month. Sometimes,
as a consequence, the men got hot cakes
and doughnuts for breakfast, pie for
dinner, etc
The amount of food allowed to each
man la unlimited. He can repeat the
whole dinner if he desires. Feeding is
done on an exact schedule b)F which it
is impossible for a man to spend more
than 80 minutes going and coming be
tween the barracks and kitchen, usually
about 20 minutes. This would seem to
dispose of the 4dea that the men stand
for hours in the rain waiting to eat.
It has been seriously charged' that the
men are compelled to wash their own
mess kits. This is true. They have to
do it in the field, often with cold water
and no soap. But in Brest the washing
consists of dumping the-refuse in gar
bage cans, then dipping the aluminum
plates, "cups- and spoons in big tanks
of constantly boiling water, from which
they,merge not only clean but sterilized
and dry almost as soon as they strike
the air.
Sinn Feiners Are
Active Again in
The Emerald Isle
Dublin, Feb. 21. (tf. P.) Sinn Feiners
were reported today to neve resumed
activity throughout Ireland. A con
gress composed of delegates from Sinn
Fein clubs from all parts of the coun
try was said to be meeting secretly here.
At a meeting of the Sinn Fein execu
tive council in the Mansion house yes
terday the following message was read
from Professor Edward D Valera :
"My message to the Irish people Is
that I have escaped from Lincoln to do
the country's work. I am doing It"
Government authorities raided the

Wire Operators to
' Consider National
Ban on Employers
A request to place the Western Union
leiegrapn company on tne unfair list
was made of the Central Labor council
Thursday night by the; Commercial
Telegraphers' union of Portland. The
matter was given, some explanation on
the floor, and the sentiment appeared
to be that because of the (alleged treat
ment given employes the bah should be
made nationwide. The matter will be
taken up by the executive board before
the request la, actually complied with.
The claim is made that the postmaster
general - permits gross discriminations
against union men to be continued by
the managers of the system and encour
ages the victimizing of union teleg
raphers by his policies.

Victoria and Vancouver -and other
British Columbia Rotarians arrived in
Portland winus their wee drappie and
nursing a grouch at Seattle, according
to that Infallible authority, Oeneral
Rumor.
As the story goes when they reached
the acre confines of the Queen City,
they were met by minions of the law.
Never men cut a throat or- scuttled a
ship in a more genteel fashion than
these persons ransacked the baggage
and clothing of the visiting brethren
from over the border.
The minions got very tittle for their
pains, for most of the canny Britishers
had been through Seattle before and
escaped, albeit poorer, wiser and badly
singed. 1
when the Britishers took their Seat-
tie brother Rotarians to task here In
Portland and asked them, even granting
that it was an exhibition of fellow feel
ing, if it was Seattle's Idea of true
hospitality, it is raid that the Seattle
delegates hastened, with that loyalty
which, right or wrong,! known as
Seattle Spirit," to defend the conduct
of their home city, saying
There is no suspicion among the Se-
atUeites that any of the British Rotar-
Ir.ns would try to evade the American
corn juice laws or the statutes of the
sovereign state of Washington, but that
there exists the same shortage of Joy
water in Seattle that there does In Port
land."

of class War In the old country stirred'
up here, with the result that the doctrine
has even spread among our own people.
If we could shut the gates of immigra

we could .soon put ah end to this belief
in class war.
"There is some conflict of interest in
this country over the matter Of division
of profits ; but here, as in other matters.
we have the communal interest in seeing
fair play, and the American spirit of
keeping agreements. We want to Bolve

on a coercive basis.

"Conflict between employers and em

Called labor leaders of the struggle be
tween capital and labor is not founded
on fact because the classes are so broad

extent that there can be no real class

American society, The pubUd schoof

"The real struggle that labor leaders
are trying to stir up is between the em
ployer group and the employe group.
Capital represents in many cases as
many as 100,000 persons in one business,
and many of these persons are laborers
themselves. Nearly everyone, further
more, is a capitalist We all have ft

business, and as such "we are a con

industry, and a capitalist, i

"We must control the agitators who
lead uneducated persons to believe that
they are oppressed, because they are the
enemies of the people to whom tney
speak. Democracy has the power to pro
tect itself, and it must do so. The best
method of control is absolutely fair
treatment of the worklngman so that
he has no fundamental grievance. Then
he will be the best resistance we cart
create to the half mad preachers of
revolutions.
"The rise of democracy means the
rise of the man at the bottom, and if
the man at the bottom overthrows
democracy, he will be overthrowing his
own best means to advancement. If he
throws away this instrument, where is
he? There must be a reward for in
terest and zeal or the system will fail."
"As a body of liberal Kotarians," Dr.
Suzzallo concluded, "believing in service
more than in self; as an organized lib
eral group of American opinion, I ask
your support in this thing to begin tta
great campaign of economic education
that shall be true to the facts and
American ' m aspiration ; and to make
our methods of settling disputes true to
the ancient sanctities; principles of civ
ilization, discussion, conflict with de
corum, fair decision and fair compro
mise, with law and Order supreme, and
judicial procedure taking the place of
coercive conflict."
At the conclusion of his address, which
was interrupted frequently with ap
plause, the -entire audience stood, ap
plauding and cheerfng.
Urges Advertising of Northwest '
Following Dr. Suzzallo's address,
Frank Branch Riley, Portland attorney,
kept the audience" in an uproar while he
put over, under cover of his sparkling
wit, an urgent appeal to the people of
the Northwest to take Up the matter of
advertising their scenery. With victory
in the hands of the allies, with the
international boundary between the
United States and Canada almost wiped
out by the community of effort, and
with "the Y. M. C. A. selling more cig
arettes than any other concern in the
world," he said, "we could now turn our
attention to developing Our own coun
try.", . : i
He rambled aldbg on various subjects,
complimenting the idea of the League of
Nations among other things. He closed
with an appeal to the Rotarians to get
out and advertise the Northwest coun
try and bring people in here to build
it up.
