GARAGE CLOSING HELD IN DOUBT Federal Fuel Administration Asked to Rale on Oil Company Action PORTLAND Nov. 7. The meth od adopted by the oil Companies of forcing garages to remain cloBed frnm ft n m tn fi n m . and nn .Sun days by refusing to sell gasoline or distillate to the dealer until he first agrees not to sell - during the pre scribed hours, and claiming author ity from the United States Fuel Ad ministration for so doing, has been referred by Fred J. Holmes, federal fuel administrator for Oregon, to M. L. Requa, ' director' of the National oil division of the ruel administra tion at Washington. The state ad ministration will abide by the na tional decision.' "No order or recommendaton for making no sale of oil and gasoline n Sundays and holidays or alter 6 p. m. on other days has been issued by any governmental authority or with any governmental approval," reads a ruling Issued from Washing ton under data of August 1. "The fuel administration has urged that . . . . f 1 1 1 wasieiui' practices in iue use oi uu and gasoline shall be stopped and all reasonable and proper measures of conservation, shall be observed. No limitations, however, - have been placed upon the sale of these pro ducts." ' ' W. O. lleall. assistant counsel of the oil division of he fuel administra tion a Washington, states In a letter to Mr. Holmes dated October 23, that Tin regard to the question of limi tations upon the sale of gasoline, fhe attitude of the fuel administra tion remains the same as on August , Some c? the companies claim to have received instructions from the Pacific coast oil division, but D. H. Folsom, oil director, has asked only for "voluntary cooperation of deal ers." . J. K. Firth, 1 r.. secretary of the Pacific coast war service committee, which some of the oil companies slat have issued orders, uaid in a letter to Mr., Holmes, dated October 25: "This orfice will not issue instruct ions that distributors of rasoline and distillate on the" Pacific coast confine their sales to the hours be tween 6 a. m. and S pm... . .We are asking for the voluntary cooperation of all distributors. ... .We trust you will cooperate with us in asking dis tributors to voluntarily limit their sales to the hours between 6 a. in. and 6 p. m." Nether has the state council of de fense issued any closing orders, but only request for closing, which Is purely voluntary. "I shall" cheerfully cooperate in any measures inaugurated by the givernment," said Mr. Holmes, "but until I am so advised, I shall cot .sanction the 'enforced closing of gar ages by oil companies in the name of the fuel administration."

Our chief rumor was that while lost from our convoy a submarine passed our bows and later caught a mer chant ship; to which all one can say is that when our captain found we were lost he certainly did put on the steam, in spite of the fog. One night a soldier caused a near-panic, being frightened by the fall of a life raft onto the deck, by calling out. "All men on board," when hundreds of doughboys packt the hatchway or the quarters they were in so that no movement either way was possible The submarine had seemed to me from the very beginning so remote as never to enter my consciousness, but running thru the minds of the soldiers every one was sub-thot of fear; so that when met by iur sub chasers and dirigibles there was as it were a great sigh of relief sweep ing the ship from bow to stern. One was made conscious of any hidden rear In himself by the life-preserver that he wore every minute of the journey and by the presence of his clothes that he did not have off for about two weeks. My work as a transport secretary was made so difficult by the con ditions of the converted freighter we were on and by the strict regulations of the military commander that they were more picturesque than actual. A library of 700 books circulated like wildrire and 20 bundles of magazines seemed to have laterally consumed within three days thru much hand ling. Double the number of both could have been used. The soldiers want maps and atlases and gerrafles rind histories and better fiction. I make this last statement in spite of the fact that George Barr Mi'Jc:- eon was In greatest demand.

In France the people find It easy to pour out gratitude, so that there is danger of the American losing his head and thinking that he has himself been fighting ths war the past tour long years and is about to win It. A sig nal corps boy and I were standing before Notre Dame last Sunday when four French boys of from five to eight years ran up calling out. "The Americans, the Americans, our friends." and they graspt our bands and held tightly. We walkt round the cathedral each of us with boy at each hand, the eldest explaining In perfect French and without the slightest embarrassment how the llosch airmen had dropt a bomb in the garden 20 yards behind the ca thedral, and how the men on his street rilled up the hole, so that, un fortunately, he could not show it to us. We walkt and talkt for 20 min utes and then I told the boys that we must leave them; they lined up In a row, each one with great dignity shook hands with us and said. "Ron soJr. messieures." Our hearts were deeply toucht and the French people about us smiled and were glad.
