Senator Thompson todav submitted his minor ity report on the amended Chamber lain Investigation resolution when the senate met. lt said he and Jones "op posed the panrage of the resolution fa amended as little better than the ori ginal and that It Is a mere "dragnet" proportion because wholes:! la ln,uir Red Cross work sent to the North west headquarters from the Umatilla chapter has always been found so per fect In every detail, that hereafter cases sent from this chapter will not be held for Inspection at Seattle but will go from there directly to th hospitals wheresoever needed. France and elsewhere. ' This- fact wo brought out In a report read to the executive committee yesterday by Mrs, A. H- Oo. chairman of the hos pital garments section, who has Just returned from the divisional Institute at Seattle. .

'I found that our. work as hereto fore sent lit was of such quality and so perfect In cut, making and finish, as well as count, bundling, packing, casing and marking", that as a con Be ouence. We are to be Issued "green cards" to W attached on the outside of the cases shipped from here In the future. These cases will then go di rect from our workrooms to the hos pitals wheresoever needed, via Seattle, whether It be to France or elsewhere This Is a compliment to Umatilla County Chapter that I am proud to bring home. And this compliment Is shared by all the various departments of our work. 'All told the visit of our represen tatives to the IHvlnlonal School will prove of untold value to the work of the Hed Ctoks of this county. 'There is one matter r desire to mention, and that Is of the fold J off of garments for hospital use. I v have new Instructions, about this, and will forward them at once, to all the aux iliaries. By this method the garments fit the cases perfectly. There are different measurements of folding for each style of garment, which must be followed faithfully, to keep our record for perfect work. But know ing the workers of this chapter, 1 know they will do this exactly as di rected." KERENSKY COMING v TO AMERICA SAYS FORMER OFFICIAL NEW YORK, May 17.

S, Must Let Millions in War Contracts. 4 (ROBERT BENDER.) WASHINGTON-. May 17. Presi dent Wilson tomorrow will tell the na tion In a New York Red Cross speech, that the nation must prepare for fur ther sacrifices to meet the demands of the gigantic effort now assuming; definite shape in the war government to defeat Teuton designs. He will say America, is preparing for- a mighty stroke before the close of 1919. Mean while 'America, la continually ready for honest peace. ' . With a eriona situation facinr all fronts Germany continues draining forces from conquered people, neces sitating America's vast preparations. Greater . participation necessitates greater sacrifices. Some indication of the size of America's program is found in the fact that the war de partment is calling on the shipping? board to increase the 1919 plans 6 per cent. Director Schwab will make some startling changes in the emer gency fleet corporations personnel Im mediately, also In the administration of certain yards, getting speed and efficiency. Millions of dollars wilt be let In advance contracts for all kinds of (war needs in preparation for the great army expected to be in France before another year. .. A just peace appears Impossible now, without crushing Germany's de termination to hold devastated coun tries, authorities say" ' The Preitidenf left Washington at 10 o'clock today He will confer with Colonel House to night regarding tomorrow's speech.
