To Start War Savings Plan In December; Outline Given The wnr-savings plan provided for In tho last bond net, of September 24, 1917, has been formulated and an nounced by tho Treasury Department and goes Into operation on Monday, December 3. The plan puts it easily In reach of nvory Anierlcun citizen lo suvo money and nt tho snmo time aid tho govern ment by supplying it with tho sinews of war. Stamps, which are tho govern ment's certificates of Indebtedness, are to be sold In two denominations thrift stumps, which cost 25 cents each, mid war-savings stamps, which cost from $4.12 to $-1.23 each, accord ing to thn mouth In which they are purchased. With thn first thrift stamp the purchaser Is given a thrift card with spaces for 10 stamps. When 111 thrift stamps hnvo beon purchased and af fixed thn thrift card ran bo exchanged for a wnr-suvlngs stamp by paying tho (llfforeneo between tho $4 tho thrift slumps represent nnd tho cur rent, value of a wnr-savliigs stump, which In December. 1917, nnd Janu ary, 1918, will be $4.12, and there after 1 cent for each succoodlng month during tho year 1918. Willi tho first war-savings stump obtained by purchase or exchaugo tho ownor Is given a war-savings certifi cate containing spaees for 20 .war savings stamps. It tho 20 spaces nro filled during December, 1917, or Jan E TODAY NO MORE EMPTIES FOR BEND, IS ORDER. Diversion I-'rom H.

I'. & 8. by .government orders, I'.end shippers are facing whut It Is fibred may prove tho worst car famine In this history of the city. Local agent 1). Keller yesterday noti fied shippers that all empty carB are ordered out on the Oregon Trunk. How long the orders placing 8. P. & 8. cars al the disposal of the Southern Pacific, will hold good is not definite ly known, out the situation Is deemed so serious that an earnest effort Ib being made to have the instructions for diversion of ears rescinded. The cars furninbed at the expense of the Central Oregon territory, it Is under stood, are to be used on the Southern Pacific for lumber shipping. Mills May Suffer. Agent Keller received his orders in regard lo the Oregon Trunk short age from tlm superintendent's office In Portland, but in regard to any pos sible similar situation on the O.-W. H. & N. he had no Information. He stated, however, that the car supply on the O.-W. has been constantly diminlKliliKg recently. The announce ment was made only last week by S. L. Wiggins. O.-W. travelling freight and passenger agent, that a shortage on his line wag to be expected soon because of government need of cars for shipping of war and camp sup plies. Today there are some 85 cars In the Bend yards, 52 of these having been brought In on tho Oregon Trunk line. At the usual rate of shipping, however, these are due to last only about three days. As the outgoing freight averages 30 carB a day, with Incoming freight about six cars dally, the supply of empties ill, when the present supply Is exhausted, dwindle to 20 per cent of the normal. The lumber mills will suffer chief ly as their average dally shipments constitute at least 25 cars of the out going freight. TWO HIGHWAYMEN ROB DENVER BANK DENVER. Nov. 23 Two highway men at noon entered the Ilalian Aincrlcan bank and. covering the cashier with revolvers, secured $1700 in-cash and escaped. The robbers overlooked $"'000 also on hand. uary, 191 S. the cost to the purchaser will be $4.12 for each stamp, or $82.40 for the full certificate, and on tho 1st day of January, 1923, tho government will redeem the certifi cate at $100, giving the holder a net profit of $17.00 for tho hsc of his money. Although these Investments do not mature until January 1, 1923, pro vision Is made whereby upon 10 days' written notice after January 1, 1918, such certificates will be redeemed by postmasters nt their cost to tho pur chasers plus 1 cent a month on ouch iwnr-saving stnmp on the certificate. The thrift stamps do not hear In terest, hut tho war-snvings stamps bear 4 per cent, compounded quar terly. The certificates will be dated January 2, 191 S, and mature January 1, 1923. Under tho plan an amount as smnll as 25 cents can be invested in a gov ernment security, and as soon as $4 has been thus Invested an Interest hearing certificate of tho United States government can be secured. The stamps nnd certificates can bo obtained from post offices, banks, or trust com pan lea, at most railroad sta tions, stores, factories, and, many oth er public places. Having the ontlre wealth of the United States back of them, and bo lug redeemable us above stated, there is no clangor of any depreciation In value of tho certificates. GAR SR0RIA6 BEGINS Fred A. WoelJJen Is Commissioned First Lieutenant SAN FHANCI3CO, Cal., Nov. 23. Fred A. Woelflen, of Bend, was among those receiving ap pointments as first lieutenants In the Infantry at the gradua tion of the officers reserve train ing school at the Presidio. Many commissions were given first lieutenants, but so far captains are few. Hundreds of the for mer graduated from tho first camp are to be promoted to captaincies, thus creating lieu tenants' vacancies. In picking the officers, the ef ficiency boards reviewed the records mado by the men In camp and took Into considera tion the positions held by them previous to entrance. The rec ommendations received at that time are also considered. AT LOCAL MILL HJIOOKS-SCAXLOX "OMPA.Y IX CKKASKS SIZK OK BUY ROOM AXD ADDS FIVK PLANERS TO PRESENT EQUIPMENT. For the second time since the Brooks-Scanlon plant was put in op eration in April, 1916, it has been i found necessary to Increase the size of the dry shed, and workmen are 'now busy In clearing out stumps and ( cutting down a knoll to make room jfor the extension. The addition will j be built on the west end of the shed j running toward the main entrance to I the yard, and will be 4S feet in ; length. The spur track beside the shed will probably not be lengthened, j For any further increase In dry shed capacity it will probably be necessary to move the office building : from Its site over toward the river. I Another addition made necessary by the amount of business done by the company is the Installation of five planers. These were ordered some time aigo and are now on the jroad. They will be put in aB soon as they arrive here, causing the need :for an extension of the planer shed. I With this new machinery it will be possible to fill orders rapidly and especially to obtain quick car load ing, a condition of great importance in a time of car shortage.

The utilities i valuation should be well over $60, 000. I Tho Increase is due to the Inclusion jfor the first time, of the valuation 'of tho sections west of the river and 'to the great growth of the city since I the building of the mills here.

General Halg switched his attack to the Ypres sec tor last night. It was reported today that the British had advanced slight ly southeast of Ypres. The situation around Cambral remains unchanged.
