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."

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

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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

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
