Crosfield ofl-Moro was read, announc
ing that EVerm Jr county had already
oversubscribed Its quota.
PARISIANS SOUGHT COVER
"The best! time to see Paris," con
tinned Dr. "Wheeler, "was during a Ger-'
man air raid. Then the Americans had
the -whole city to themselves. Huge
signs marked 'Arbris, 100.' indicated
the retreat 'of-aJl the natives, for just
as soon as ithe 'red devil' fire wagons
ran madly (through - the streets pro
claiming, with! a clanging of bells and
screaming of 4sirens, that the raid was
on, all the Parisians crowded into the
safety cellars marked with signs, and
distributed al over the city.
"But the Americans came out In full
force. You cduld find them along the
banks of the eelne, or the gardens rof
the -Turneries, or the Champs Elysses.
out In the open where, the most could
be Seen. As a defense, the French
would free hundreds of unplloted sau
sage balloons,, meshed together with
wire entanglements, . and would play
hundreds of powerful searchlights
through the sky, cutting back and
forth.
AJfTI-AIItCBAHT GUNS BUSY
"As soon as an enemy, craft was lo
cated by the searchlights, the anti-alr-eraft
guns would open up and either
bring down the -machine or force it up
so high that it Nvas impossible to take
definite aim.
'Salvation Array hut work is not a
new thing. The. first hut work was
done during the Jslege of Klmberly, in
the Boer war, wQien there were many
helpless refugees ; not cared for by the
other orpanixatioraa and associations do
ing relief work. Shortly after the be
ginning of the groat war, four lassies
were sent to Brussels, where they re
mained until after Uhe German invasion.
To escape to the Fnench border, for they
were virtually prisoners, it was neces
sary to. "use disguises. On the French
front they opened up the first war
hut. This was four years ago last Au
gust This first huit- has been enlarged
four times, and them doubled. On one
day, by actual count, 6000 soldiers
were served, and thus was an average
day's work.
BARRAGE SOT FLASHED
""The great doughnsut barrage had no
place in the original plans of the Sal
vation Afmjv It was an accident, that
came about like this : A unit of newly
arrived lassies found themselves with
no supplies and a regriment of hungry
doughboys.' In an effort to find some
thing to feed them on they discovered
the amazing affinity biertween American
youth and doughnuts and, procuring a
supply of flour, sugar and lard from
the commissary, started the job of fill
ing 2,000,000 hungry boys with dough
nuts." "Another work of the Salvation Army
was the hotel service. These hotels for
soldiers extended all the way from
Baccarat. Le Harve and JParls, to South
ampton. Liverpool and London. Then
there was the hospital service, which
supplied whole truck loads of oranges,
raisins -and fruits, of all kinds for the
wounded.

Stunts Are Safety; Measure
Flying is. in the popular belief, a
very hazardous game, and a. good avia
tor, many people think, a daredevil ad
venturer taking his life in his hands
at each ascension -with a fascination
for. or sublime disregard of danger
truly wonderful to the earth-bound
mind. But the true aviator doing credit
to his vocation is tae contrary of thia,
according to Lieutenant Colonel Wat
eon, who visited Portland recently iii
command of the squadron of army planes
that did honor to this year's Rose Fes
tival. It was in CoUwtfi Watson's air
plane that Governor 01cm made his
trip last week to California.
The worthiest spirit of a good avia
tor fn- these days. Colonel Watson
states, is displayed not fn recklessness
of danger, but tn its avoidance.' An ac
cldent is not merely a. misfortune, it is a
fault that could, at least in most cases,
have been avoided. Men of Colonel Wat
son's type are ardent believers ia s
safe and lane future for the art of
flying and the United States govern
ment fs doing much, by regulating and
by encouraging to further this end.
, This is wen instanced by the recent
passage ot the Atlantic ocean by sea
planes adequately guarded by warships,
as distinguished from the heroic exploit
of the itwtK British ; aviators who, -unaided
and alone, pressed their way
through the fog and sleet from New
foundland to Ireland at continuous and
imminent , dancer to their lives.

' The theory oC . Colonel. Watson and
other aviators is that firing can only

and commercial value to peaceful com
munities ,by making - It safe.,, : Every

Instance irr point, for the usual so-called
"stunts" are in reality no such thing.
They are ' the practice of certain ma
neuvers necessary to efficient flying and
are intended to Insure safety, not to
defy dangar. For it seems that under
bad air conditions, or In stormy weather

over or thrown on end at any time, and
the pilots must be trained by constant

In describing his trip up from Cali
fornia, Colonel Watson laid much stress
upon the dangers of the . journey- across
the mountains in Southern Oregon.- Giv
en a good machine, properly cared for,
he says, an experienced pilot runs no
risk in the air so leng as his machine
keeps running. , Nothing will happen to
the plane as it is constructed now, but
the ; engine may fail at any moment.
When this happens he must make
landing and to land in safety when
running at as much as 70 miles an
; hour, is a dangerous task unless a proper
landing place can be found. During the
passage of his squadron over the heav
ily timbered mountainous country south
of us, while on their way to visit the
Bpse Festival, the failure of an engine
meant the death of the pilot, since no
proper landing would have been possi
ble, where good landings could be made
no such danger existed. 4
WAKT LAKD15G FIELDS
For this reason aviators are calling
for "air highways," that is to say.
chain of landing fields across rough
country. In other states progressive
communities are supplying themselves
with suitable landing fields because they
realize that unless this is done the air
machines will not come their way. This
is one of the respects in which the air
plane differs from the automobile. The
automobile travels bad roads and as
the traffic increases, better roads . are
provided, but the airplana will only' go
where its necessities have been already
supplied. So If the Pacific Northwest
wants the mail service, the express serv
ice or the passenger service through the
air that the modern states are now seek
ing, the one great danger of flying,
and that, paradoxically, is landing, must
first be removed.
Asked for more details, the colonel
said that an average plane flying at
10,eOA feet, if engine trouble ensued,
could plane to a distance of about seven
miles, and that about 3000 feet of level
surface is needed to make a safe land
ing. Unobstructed land is required, as
smooth and level as circumstances wTTl
permit, with a shed for shelter, with
gas. Oil and & few tools.
With landing fields at suitable dis
tances Oregon may keep pace with her
sister states, but their absence will re
sult in none of these advantages that
the rapid air service is expected to
bring: to progressive communities, f

Volume Is fppeal to American
People for Consideration
' of Claim of Latins.
, By Clyde A. Beats
"Rear's Great . War and Her National Atplra-
uam."
Italy's "Great War and Her Na
tional Aspirations" is a particularly
interesting book from the point of view
of a study of national prejudices.; It
is an appeal to the American people fot
a consideration of Italy's claims to for
mer Italian territory. To one used to
thinking, of the Germans as the leading
usurper of the rights of small 'nations
and as . inventors of denationalising
schemes for captured peoples, the book
is surprising because it pictures Austria
Hungary as the worst employer of such
practices.
The book Is a presentation of Italy
ciaims to that territory under Austrian
control -which is affectionately known
by the Italians as the "Irredenta," 3This
territory, which includes .that part of
tne country along, the Adriatic sea and
up to tne Alps, 'called the: Trentinot
Julian, Flume and Dalmatia, Is said to
e a stragetic essential. In Italy's, de
fense against Invasion from the north
ana east, v ; ,
The. claim for these parts of the Ii-
redenta is basecT on. the statement that
they; originally belonged ' to Italy,. , that
they were taken away unjustly and that
the population of these parts comprises
mostly, Italians.. who every .now and
again show their love for their mother
country in atrempts' to replace the.teri-
ntory under . Italian controL The book
also describes Italy's part fn the great
war, explaining the . many difficulties
encountered, beginning with the decision
not to, fight the war on the side .of
Austria and Germany.
PROOFS ARE OPFEEED ' .
Numerous proof are offered to sub
stantiate the statements. In support of
Italy's claim. The opening chapter Is
by H. kelson Gay4 ; apparently to: give
the book an unbiased atmosphere, the
other chapters being by Italian writers;
It Is entitled - "The Curse of Austrian
Domination, in Italy Down to U66, and
as would appear from. Its name, is a
bitter indictment of the Austrian nature
and practices with, respect to' the prov
inces taken from Italy.
Other chapters deal with the Latin na
ture of "the provinces after these vears
of domination. As proof o$ the originafl
j.iauan laenuty or tne provinces is tne
citation of traces of early Italian art
still to be found. Another is baaed on
the sporadic outbreaks of Italian senti
ment In the people of the Irredenta as
illustrated by the act of Captain Nasario
Sauro, a native of Capodistria, a city
oa -the Adriatic in the territory held by
.Austria ; ana situated just south of
Trieste. According to the' story he be
came an Italian naval officer,' led a
great many raiding parties into Austria
from the coast and was finally cap-,
tured and hanged. His dying words are
quoted as being, "Death to Austria.
Long live Italy." Numerous Instances
such as these tend to prove that the
prevailing sentiment is-still Italian In
spite of the long Austrian control. -

The book is Interesting and la worth

Italy's stand as to the apportionment
of conquered territory. It's style Is

by the six-day week, they said. " The

APPEAL MADE FOR USHERS ;
John F. Logan, representing the Lib
erty theatre, appealed in favor, of per
mitting women ushers to work after
p. m., saying the. women are paid above
the minimum wage, are not required to
work the maximum number of hours and
are safeguarded in every way. The 6
o'clock rule for theatres would mean the
end of the profession for women ushers
in Oregon, he said, and more than one
hundred now employed . would have to
seek other positions.

PERSHING EATS WITH MEN

When Their Commander Dines
Where Romans Once Sported.
. How about the doughboys who are
yet in France?
.Many, are in France awaiting trans
portation - home and they are being fur
nished with as much amusement as pos
sible to keep the time from hsnglng on
their hands. , Will IL Warren, ' former
Portland ' newspaperman, who Is now
with, the; T. M. C. A.' In France, writes
of their, fun and also of a visit from
General Pershing as follows:' ;
"Testerday General Pershing and hfs
staff visited Le Mans and at noon were
driven up to the big Y.; cafeteria on the
Jacobin Garden grounds, famed in his
tory as a place where the Romans used
to sport about on their festive journey-
ings In these parts. It was there that I
got my first glimpse of the general. He
looks much younger and milder than
many of his pictures and is, of course;
every Inch the soldier.
"Hundreds of doughboys, officers and
Y. secretaries, seated at the tables.
jumped to their feet when he was an
nounced, but Pershing at once called in
kindly voice: Be seated, men.' Then
everyone seemed at ease once more and
the general finished his inspection.
- ."It was Indeed fine to have this- op
portunity to see the commander-of our
forces, especially at such close range.
I have never seen a handsomer-or more
kindly expressive man.
"I bumped into two Portland boys the
other day. Jock Colman, a well known
Scotch singer of our home city, and J.
