(3y The Associated Press) Paris, June 20. The American nrmy and navy Young Men's Christian associa tion is making extensive plans to lodk after large forces of American soldiers and sailors as they arrive in France. A meeting was held at the American embassy today at which the proposals were outlined. William Graves Sharp, the American ambassador, was named as honorary president of tho association and James J. Harbour, active president, Already large lorccB are at work at the four American baseB which cannot be de slgnatcd becuuse of military reasons. Ten large buildings have been ordered at cost of 00,000 francs. Pending the com pletion of the buildings tents have been temporarily erected and local buildings rented. One large saloon has been bought out and transformed into flourishing V. M. C. A. quarters. It was ready when the first American sailors landed and they were greeted with the Stars and Stripes and a large sign reading, "Amcri can Y. M. C. A. Come in." Here the men wrote letters, got their money changed and read American newspapers and magazines. The American sailor and soldiers are showing the greatest interest in the dis tlnctively American features of the Y. M. C. A. headquarters, such as soda water fountains, shoe shining parlors, chewing gum and peanuts. The organizers by Americanizing the centers are assuring substantial results in keeping the sailors and soldiers from the streetB and cafes, FOR ARMY, FAVORED President of Aero Club Says 25,000 Aviators Equal Army of 1,000,000 men. Crowd Is Angered by Display Made by Women Sentinels at White. House Gates. Washington, June 20. Tho sufraglst ontlnele brought another banner to the White House gates today and another crowd tore it down. Today's wrecking of tho baucr was done with more delibera tion than was tho case yesterday. The police did not interfere. The 'nscriptlon on the banner today was tho same ns on tho one displayed yesterday, accusing President Wilson und Kllhu Boot of "deceiving Itussla" in say ing the United stales 1b n democracy and pleading with tho Russian mission to de mand the enfranchisement of women in the United States. Tho bnnner was in front of tho White Houbo gates only for a few minutes and tho crowd thai collected was not large. A man pnsslng in an nutomnlillo about tho timo tho sentinols brought it from their headquarters, stopped his car, walked over, tore part of it off and re sumed his journey, refusing to give his name. A few minutes later after the crowd bad grown n little and after a few shouts of "traitors," a man who gave his nnmo as George It. Montgomery, of Richmond, Vn walkfcd over and tore tho remainder of tho bnnner from Its frame. After tho last shred of canvass had been removed, tho police dispersed the crowd. Miss Lucy Hums, of Now York, and Miss Catherine Morey, of lloston, held the banner. No attempt was made to touch them, cither by the police or tho crowd. (By Th4 Associated Press) Washington, June 21. A billion dol lars probably would be required to put 100,000 American airplanes and 10,000 to 20,000 aviators into the war, Allan lthnwley, president of the Aero club of America, today told a sub-committee of the house military affairs' committee. He declured 25,000 aviators could do more toward ending the war than 1,000,000 ad ditional soldiers. He endorsed the hill to establish a separate department of aero nautics. What might remain of the 100,000 airplanes when peace is restored could he utilized for commercial puropses, be said. A French government commission now is ranking plans for such ubc Mr. Hawley predicted that the day of trans-Atlantic air ll.ics win at hand. "We are now manufacturing air eruis- ers capable of crossing the Atlantic and have both the pilots and the instruments needed for piloting them," he said.

The "command of death," which is the official title of the women's regiment raised by the twice wounded girl officer, Vera Buitchkareff, will be reviewed today by Minister of War Kerensky. The regiment will have its first public parade on Sunday and will leave iu a fortnight for the front, proba bly for the Minsk sector. Tho Associated Press correspondent, who visited the barracks in Torgvaya street, found posted at the gate a little blue-eyed sentry in a soldier's khaki blouse, short breeches, green forage cap, ordinary woman's black stockings and neat shoes. The sentry was Marya Kkrydluff, daughter of Admiral Skrydloff, former' couimuider of the Baltic fleet, and minister of marine. Inside there were four large dormitories, the beds without bedding and strewn with heavy soldiers' overconts. In the courtyard 300 girls were at drill, mostly between 18 and 25 years of age, of good physique and many of them pretty. They wore their hair short or had their heads entirely shaved. They were drilling under the in struction of a male sergeant of the Volyn sky regiment and marched to an exag gerated goofec step. Comander .lieutenant Buitchkareff ex plained that most of the recruits were from the higher educational academies pr secondary schools with a few peasants, factory girls and servants. Some mar ried women were accepted, but none who had children. The girl commander said: "We apply the rigid system of disci-, pline of the ire-revolution army, reject ing the new principle of soldier self-government. Having no time to inure the girls gradually to hardships we impose a Spartan regime from the first. They sleep on boards without bedclothes, thus immediately eliminating the weak. The smallest breach of discipline was punish ed by expulsion in disgrace.' "The ordinary soldier's food is furnish ed by the guards' equipage corps. We rise at 4 and drill daily from 7 to 11 and again from 1 to 0. The girls carry the cavalry carbine, which is five pounds lighter than the regular army rifle. On our first parade 1 requested any girl whose motives were frivolous to step out. Only one did ao, but later many who were unable to stand the privations left. "We are fully official and are already entered on the list of regiments. Uni forms and supplies are received from the ministry of war. to which we render ac count and present reports. Yesterday the commander of the Petrograd military dis trict reviewed us and expresed his satis faction. I am convinced that we will ex- cell the male fighters." Asked as to the attitude of the mnle army, (Jommanoer liiiitcbKareif said that only the Volynsky regiment, which led the Petrograd revolution, was really fa vorable. The regimental clerk is Madame Bar bara Rukovishikoff, editor of the weekly Woman and Economy and author of some admirable stories. She said that Mme. Kerensky intended to join the regiment, not as a soldier, but as a Sister of Mercy. IS Oregon Supreme Court Sus tains Eugene Jurist in Rose burg Bank Case. The Oregon supreme court handed down a decision Tuesday upholding the decision of Judge G. F. Skipworth, of Eugene, iu the case of Marks vs. the First National bank of Roseburg. This action wns brought by Mr. Marks to recover $4700.82, which he alleged was due as bnlance on deposits made by him self and asslgued him for collection. It developed in the case that the money was placed In deposit in the First National bank, and that it was drawn out and loaned by T. It. Sheridan, previous to the consolidation with the Douglns National bank. The plaintiff who was represent ed by John T. Long and George Jones, alleged that Mr. Sheridan's action was without his knowledge and consent and that he had never ratified the action. It was claimed by the plaintiff that he had demanded payment of the balances and that the money had never been forth coming. The bank maintained that the .loans were made by Mr. Sheridan with the con sent of the plaintiff and that the bank could not be held liable for the amount charged. Attorney O. P. Coshow repre seuted the defendant and the opinion of the judge in favor of the bank was sus tained by the supreme court. The cases against the First National bank have attracted a great deal of at tention throughout the state, ns many new legal points arc involved in their settlement.

Eugene Pure Milk and Cream Co., Schmidt Brut., mis Oak St., Phone To. tf Bbowanda, the choice of th. .nioker. That there is a great future for straw berry raising in Lane county is the opin ion of P. M. Davis, manager of the Eu gene Fruit company. Mr. Davis this year has shipped over 1,000 cases of Eugene strawberries to Seattle and could have shipped many more had they been avail able. He also shipped about 2500 crates to the Portlnnd market. In speaking of shipping berries Mr. Davis stated that one of the neceosary things in connection with huildiug up a shipping market is the proper grading and condition of fruit. Strawberries for shipment must be picked much greener than for local use or they will not stand shippiug and arrive at their destination in good condition. They must ulso be graded much more closely than for local use. All ill-shapen berries must be cull ed out and the berries in each crate must be of approximately the same size. Mr. Davis expresses tin, hlif l... that there must he some organization or tirm handling the berries, so that there will be no flooding of the local market with a product which cannot be absorbed at a price which is remunerative to the grower. When there is no concerted plan of marketing, nnd no arrnngements for finding an output for the crop made prior to marketing time it results in growers bringing berries to the stores or city market which are too ripe to ship and which they are compelled to peddle from house to house at low rates. As the lowest prices one day is always taken as the opening price the next, this results in loss to tho local grower, when he might have got a good price by arrang ing before for the sale of his berries to some shipper or through an association, nnd then bringing them in in good ship ping condition.

Trumbull, Port land, Asks Public Service Commission to Act as if Reg ulating Light Charges. Salem, Or., June 21. Mrs. Millie It. Trumbull of Portland, representing the women's division of tbe state council for defense, was here yesterday to ask the public service commission to regulate the size of n loaf of bread and the price of fish in this state. "I am a member of a committee ap pointed to look into these things," said Mrs. Trumbull. "I have found that 10 cent loaves of bread weigh all the way from 10 to 18 ounces. We want the pub lic Bcrvice commission to establish a standard weight for a lonf of bread to correspond to the price of flour. As the price of flour fluctuates, the weight of the loaf of bread may fluctuate with it, but it should be standardized." Mrs. Trumbull says the prices of fish, such as salmon and halibut, have Boar ed beyond alt reasonable bounds, and steps should be taken to regulate them. She thinks the public service commis sion should be able to regulate them the same ns they regulate the prices of light and telephones. TheIo. to Mot.-. .... tWIDEMANNc k.PAT Mi it.
