OREGON WEATHER - -I fji.i 4 4 Rain, warmer in east por- tion tonight, Strong south winds in , the Interior; fresh southerly gales on the coast.. H WORLD SHIPPING CONDITIONS G. M. Standifer, owner ol thres shipyards on the Pacific coast and Just returned from an investigation of shipbuilding conditions in Europe, will W oulldliis bhlpe for all the world as soon as the peace con ference concludes its work. The cupboards of Europe are' empty. Only completion of the peace terms - la holding up a' ware of .business de relopment that will exceed anything the world has ever seen. It cannot hut come true. It's shortage, short age everywhere. ' ' :'.-' "There countries have not recov ered from after the war effects. Bus iness Is in a dazed condition, ' Just as the people are. "Our yards compare very favor ably with those of Europe in every respect,- ' In speed we can exceed any yard on the other side. And there is no doubt that we can turn a ship that will size up with any type that can be built there. "The strikes in England are now noMlng up work In the shipyards. The socialist spirit Is felt among the workers, and I am not so sure that Bolshevism has not begun to spread in the radical groups. : "As' I see the situation, now fresh from a trip into the European coun tries, I would say that the first thing for the government to do Is to re lease the shipbuilders from control of the shipping board. "For the ship operator the rates must be reduced and the Seaman's act must be re-written. But these changes will come in due time. What we want right now is an opportun ity to conduct our own business ac cording to the law of supply and de mand." RELICS OF LOST HEROES Carefully stored at pier No. 3 at Hoboken, N. ., according to informa tion from the war department head- "quarters, are scores of tons of per sonal belongings of American sol diers who perished on the battle field or in the hospitals abroad. Mute testimonials of valor, they have been sent to this country, but thus far have gone unclaimed, al though every effort is made by the "effects bureau" to return the things o friends or relatives. '' ' ! When a soldier diet; bis personal effects are collected,' sent to French headquarters ' and shipped to ' thW country. ' Letters are sent at once notifying relatives and requesting in structions about forwarding ' them. Strange' as it may seem, many' of these letters of inquiry are never an swered, though apparently delivered. Others art returned as incorrectly addressed,' the family having moved or the" boy himself having given a wrong' address a thing which ' has happened. In thousands of cases and caused infinite trouble in many- army Best iv. KINNEY & TRUAX GRQCERY Quality First departments since the war started. Most touching of all, perhaps, are the effects of the apparently friend less boy who either had no one to claim his things or who went away in youthful pride or anger, leaving no word by which his people can be traced. . Many of the articles are of little money Talue; yet they would be in finitely precious to grieving hearts. Families that have received no word concerning the personal belongings left by a well-loved lad could at least notify the bureau and oulte possibly get trace of things they "Would cher ish. It would he worth the 'effort and helpful to the men whose aim is to return every possible bit of this pathetic salvage. A GOOD SVGtiE&llON The American Federation of Labor has asked that immigration be for bidden tor at least four years after the close of the war and the signing of peace, on the ground that there are more workers inHbe United States now than can find jobs. Cut if the workers now here refuse - "to work at wages from 100 to S00 per cent greater than European labor ers are getting, it may be necessary to Import foreign laborers to the United States. And Just to avoid "going empty one way" it might be well to load the shipB that go to Europe to bring laborers here, with the foreign radicals now here who refuse to work for the high wages offered. Let the ships carry loads both ways. AN INSULT TO SOLDIERS The assertion that the returning soldiers will rush to the rescue1 ' of the imperiled German beer business is -an Insult which every friend of these brave men will resent. It is a safe asertion that at least 65 per cent of the men and officers of the American army are prohibitionists, and most of the other 35 per cent are sufficiently intelligent to realize the German nature of the business and consequently are by no means enthusiastic about it. ' Anyone who will attend the hear POISON ill. r ' '' We Guarantee These Goods ings ot the senate committee Invest lgatlng the activities ot the brewers and the Germans during and before the war, will realise Just how this propaganda tending to create the impression that the soldiers are all champions of boose started. Ten to one it had a German father and a German mother. ' 1 ' ' ' ' ' SAID 1CE CREAM "BURNED' Think of It, Frencn Kiddles Had to Be I Coaxed to Partake of Strange Delicacy! Striking proof of the well-known tact that extreme heat and extreme cold have the same physical properties was recently furnished by "Juggcr", Crane, the scientist-philosopher of Company B, th engineers, when he fed aome American ice cream to a group i t'rfaoci, .
