THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTL.AND, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1919. KNOCKOUT BLOW THAT GOT FRITZ WAS GOOD ONE Big Naval Guns, Mounted on Railroad Trucks, Had Part in Sending Huns Reeling Back. PORTLAND BOY WRITES Richard M. Kennedy of Head quarters Company 150th Field Artillery, There at Finish. Richard M. Kennedy of the need co l?ir class of 1920 la anticipating travel in Germany with the army of occupa tion, according to a letter received at Reed recently. lie is attached to Head quarters company, 150th Field artillery, of the Rainbow division. Following are extracts from his letter telling of action shortly before the armistice was signed. "Our artillery in front of Selcheprey from 75's on up to big naval guns mounted on railroad trucks miles beyond, opened up with a prodigious . slam at 1 a. m. and our Infantry went over about daylight. Positions which - had been held for over four years were taken In a few moments, and long be- , fore noou the Germans were back beyond the range of our six inch howitzers. To our division was assigned the capture of Mont Sec and the towns of Essey, Pannes and Beney and we took an enormous number of prisoners. The roads across the old No Man's Land were bo badly cut up by artillery fire that It wa$ two days before we could ; move up. We were then rushed across to the Verdun front where the First army was driving hard in the Argonne. "The woods here were nothing but stretches of naked tree trunks, the un- ' dergrowth of two years, barbed wire entanglements, dugouts and shell holes. Formerly fair-sized towns are stretches ; of weeds, low mounds of rock covered with grass and vines and bare places where once were village streets. "A few days ago some Hun planes came over and laid a few eggs right beside us. The bombs lit with a whang that made my ears ring for hours. And then after the load was dumped the ornery cuss fired a few rounds lis machine gun at some horses tied oh the line and flew off. sBelng bombed Is about the worst experience." ; JuggeH.H.Northup Honored on Birthday Many happy tales of the early days of th legal profession were featured at the luncheon given In honor of Judge H.

While New York harbor boatmen will prob ably refuse to accept the national war labor board's award in their demand for an eight hour day and higher pay, there wfll be no renewal of the harbor strike until President Wilson has had a chance to act. FRANKLIN STATES: 'I WOULDN'T TIE HAIFOFPORRAND' For the Good Tanlac Did Him Had Suffered For Fif teen Years. "I wouldn't take half of Portland for the good Tanlac did me," said G. W. Franklin, 771 Tenino Avenue, a well known citizen of Portland. "For fifteen years I suffered from muscular rheumatism," he continued, "nearly every part of my body seemed to be affected but especially' during the past year X was bothered with the pains and stiffness in my back and shoulders. I finally got so bad off that I could not get up when I was lying on my back except by turning over and bracing my self with my arms while I drew myself up on my knees. Last summer my ap- IMetite went back on me and I didn't eat uutii muro man Eituugn io Keep me alive and even the little I did eat would Sour on my stomach and cause gas to form that would bloat me up. I would have heartburn so bad that I would feel some times like I had swallowed a coal of fire. AH my energy seemed to, leave me and I was so tired and worn out and had such little strength left that for several years I hadn't been able to do but very little work. I took a number of treatments for the rheumatism and tried lots of dif ferent medicines but none of them gave me any permanent relief and I had be come discouraged oyer my case. My daughter had been taking Tanlac for a short time and the good It did her was so plain to be seen that I decided to try it, too. I don't know how it happened but before I had finished the third bot tle of Tanlac I didn't have a pain or an ache in my body, for the first time in fifteen ' years. My appetite has come back to me, I eat three square meals a day and my stomach Is in such ' fine shape that I don't have a bit of trouble digesting anything I eat. For a long time I was afraid that I had some trou ble with my kidneys because my back hurt me so but I am not worried any more about that because myback is as strong as ever it was and my kidneys seem to be in fine shape, now. I sleep like a log every night and get up In the morning- feeling fresh and fine. I tell all ray friends about Tanlac and some of them have taken it .on my advice and have been greatly benefited. Tanlac la old in Portland by The Owl Drug Co. , . iAdv) Eed Cross Aided in Freeing the Yanks From ' Hun Prisons By A. Jt, Becker Special Cible to Th Journal and 0 Chicago Iteiljr Newt. (Cepricbt, 1019. by Chicaco Dally News Co.) Berlin, Germany, Jan. JO. (Delayed.) The American Red Cross has done good work in Germany both during and after the war. W. W. Husband was the onry member of the mission who came to Berlin, and he did great work in get ting American prisoners out of Ger many. However, the mission in Berne, as soon as it found that 2he Americans were mostly out of the German prison camps and were plentifully supplied with food and clothing, abruptly left and I presume under orders, shipped their supplies to France, where of all places they were the least needed. We forgot our allies, the valiant Serbs and Roumanians and: the unfortunate Rus sians. However, it has at last been decided that the American Red Cross should help these miserable wrecks of mankind, neglected in the terrible German camps. Since this decision was taken a new mission has been awaited in Berlin. It is very important that the prisoners should be evacuated as soon as possible to prevent disease and hunger and also because of political reasons. The new American mission seems to have be come lost. America, except for the un selfish and efficient military share in the plans for the evacuation, has done nothing for the Serbs, Roumanians' and Russians. If the British and Danish Red Cross had not come to the rescue, things would have gone badly for our allies. GER AY URGENT NEED OF COTTON AND L WOO STOCKS NOV More Than 95 Per Cent of Cot ton Mills Are Idle and Em ployment Status Is Serious. Bill for Protection Of Water Is Buried Washington. Feb. 28. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) What may be the last chance for pass age at the present session of Represen tative Hawley's bill to cover designated areas of the Oregon and California grant lands into the Oregon and Siuslaw na tional forests for the protection of the water supplies of Corvallis, Dallas and Oregon City, went glimmering upon ob jection being made to consideration of the measure by Representative Stafford of Wisconsin. This is the second time the bill has been checked by refusal of unanimous consent when it was reached on the regulaT call df the calendar. The previous objection was by Foster of Illi nois, who has since relaxed in his oppo sition and had informed Representatives Hawley and Sinnott that he would not renew his objection. By Gordoa Stu (Special Wiralna to the Daily News) (Copyrigltf, lBltt. bj Chicaco Daily Nam Co.) Bremen, Feb. 28. Next to foodstuffs. probably nothing else Is so badly needed in Germany today as cotton and wool. I had a talk with two members of the Bremen cotton exchange, Arnold Fritze and Urban von Cleve, and the following summary of the situation is based on facts and figures given ma "by these men : More than 95 per cent of the cotton mills of Germany, having a total of 14, 000.000 spindles, are idle, and the re mainder are running on short time working up remnants. Even these are practically exhausted. If the mills could be started. I am told that they would furnish employment to more than 1.000, 000 people, half of whom are actual op eratives and others employed one way or another in handling raw materials and finished goods. Cotton workers are a good clasq of people, the political faith of most ot them being majority Socialists with a leaning to the right, and a fair sprink ling of Democrats. Without its cotton trade Bremen is indeed In a bad way, as out of 2.800. 000 bales annually Imported by Germany 'i, 500,000 are handled at this port. The enormous docks and expensive machin ery are now of no use whatever. Von Cleve and Fritze anxiously inquired as to the prospects of receiving cotton from America. They said they understood that 500,000 bales could be spared if the blockade was lifted and the tonnage was available. They told me that the cotton people made enormous profits in the first year of the war, but that since then they had spent all, owing to the complete cutting off of their income and the great in crease in the cost of living. Both my informants have been de voting their time to social and Red Cross work in the last three years. The need of cotton is apparent everywhere. Fab rics can be had only at prices far beyond the reach of the poor, and the demo bilized soldiers are all going about their civilian tasks in uniform because of the impossibility of obtaining other clothes. Big Tie Contract v HeldbyMUl Being Moved to Lebanon Lebanon, Feb. 28. The L. S. Bonney Lumber company, now located near Waterloo, is moving Its mill to a place east of town near a railroad switch put in recently by Seymour Washburn. Mr. Washburn is under contract to furnish 2,000,000 feet of logs and the company expects to operate steadily unless the price of ties gets too low. The logs come from the E. E. Keebler place north of town. Army Officer Takes Up Work at Eugene University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb. 28. Lieutenant Earl Cook, who has been secured by the university as an assist ant to Colonel H. C. Bowen, who has charge of the reserve officers' training corps work on the campus, arrived in Eugene Wednesday and will take up his duties immediately. . Lieutenant Cook comes to Eugene from the University of Idaho, where he assisted in the mili tary work of that institution. He will fill the vacancy made by the departure of Lieutenant E. L. Garrett, an officer in the S. A. T. C' unit here last term, who has gone to Camp Lewis to be dis charged. Two Aged Persons Suffocated in Fire Fond du Lac, Wis., Feb. 28. Two per sons were killed and several injured late tonight when the Catholic Home for the Aged was destroyed by fire. Mary Weinard, 80 years old, and John Mat thews, 75 years ld, the latter a cripple, were suffocated in their rooms. Sister Patricia suffered a fractured arm res cuing an aged man. EXTREMELY SEVERE LOSSES SUFFERED IN NFANTRY BRIGADE Casualties in 1st and 2nd Amer ican Divisions Reached as High as 84 Per Cent, Report. Clemenceau Weeps Over Gift of Poilu Paris. Feb. 28. (U. P.) An unnamed poilu, it was learned today, has sent Premier Clemenceau his Croix de Guerre with the following letter: "You have not been given the Croix de Guerre. Here Is mine bearing only two stars. rVou merit two palms." Clemenceau is reported to have wept i when he read the letter. By Janins B. Wood Special Cable to The Journal and Chicago Daily News. (Copyright. 1919, by Chicago Dally New Co ) Coblenz, Germany, Feb. 23. Compari son of the intensive fighting records of the First and Second divisions of the American expedition collected at their respective headquarters shows an as tonishing closeness in casualties. I am now able to make the comparisons for the first time. The divisions held the tightest spots on the American front, the First division taking, over a sector on January 2 and entering active fight ing in June. The First division included the First infantry brigade, consisting of the Six teenth and Eighteenth regiments ; the Second Infantry brigade, consisting of the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-eighth regiments ; the First artillery brigade, consisting of the Fifty-sixth and Sev enth field artillery regiments ; the First engineer regiment and various other units. The Second division included the Third infantry brigade, consisting of the Fifth and Sixth marine regiments ; the Second artillery brigade, consisting of the Twelfth. Fifteenth and Seventeenth field artillery regiments ; the Second en gineers and various other units. The divisional strength was 29,180 men and officers. The casualties in the First division were 82 per cent and in the Second division, 84 per cent. In comparison with these the Twenty seventh division had losses amounting to 27 per cent and the Eighty-ninth di vision, 24 per cent. Losses were heaviest in the infantry regiments and it seems miraculous that any line officer or man in these divi sions survived through the war. The infantry brigade percentages of casual ties based on a strength 'of 8175 men were : Fourth brigade, 136 per cent ; Second brigade, 125 per cent ; Third bri gade, 121 per cent; First brigade, 115 j per cent. These are unquestionably the highest losses sustained by any of the units of the American forces. In the artillery brigades, with a strength of 5067 men each, the First had a toss ot 2f ' per cent and the Second of 11 per cent. In the engineer regi ments, with a strength of 197 men each, the First had a loss of SO per cent, the Second of 84 per cemV The losses in the miscellaneous units of the First division amounted to 38 per cent and In those of the Second di vision, 12 per cent. Sleet and Rain Continue at HarshfieM Marshfield, Feb. 28. Heavy rains and cold weather here continue with an oc casional half hail storm, making this the worst February weather recorded for many years past. Returning Soldiers Care Nothing About ; Presidential Timber New York. Feb. 28. Soldiers return ing from France have no soldier candi dates for president Fears expressed by politicians that some military hero would take first place in presidential reckonings are being dissipated. In the first place, the boys are not thinking about politics and presidents. They are thinking about discharges, jobs, I extra pay and other concrete things relating to their Immediate status. '; : ' Questions about General Pershing are met with diverse answers. Some hold him responsible for discomforts and minor blunders from which they have suffered. Others say n is enerany popular, and the boys always had faith In him as a result-getter. The British home office has decided to expel ail interned Oermans without exception as they are released from de tention camps. Here Is the Answer To Every.
