Crult, a young Englishman who made his . home with Senator Von der Hellen at Welleu and later attended the agricultural college at Conallls, and last year went across as lieutenant of artillery with the Canadian expe ditionary force. The letter is dited from "France, January 15th" "So you want to know if I have 'been in a battle!" lN'ow, I am in the Canadian corps do you ever read the papers? Anyhow I have been in several shows during tho last year, and In the line constantly with the exception of about a month. I do my own censoring, but I cannot very well put in my own letters things which I would not allow to go thru in another man's can 1? Still 1 suppose It won't hurt to talk in a r general way about things well in the past. So here goes for a fairly typical show, which happenedsomewhere some time. I got orders as P. O. O. at midnight jero being about 6 a. m- that meant a five-mile hike thru the awfullest mud in the world thru country one didn't know to a place one had never heard of, or which very few other people had ever heard of. Anyhow we got there about five next morning in time to stroll thru a few hundred yards of Hun shrap nel barrage. Zero:, hour: in a copse, outside a pill box, glasses to your eyes crash, which does not stop, and she's otr. The roll of tho heavies, somewhat as the tempo of a largo number of big drums the drummers having gone back, then the sharper sound of the field guns just solid sound. If you look back It's Just barely light. The horlzen is simply one flickering flash continues. . Finally you see a line of men your own people on the crest In front A line that sort of melts away oc casionally and wavers backwards and forwards somewhat In front ot it the Inferno of your own rolling bar rageand all the time a crazed chat ter of all the machine guns In the . world. In this case the line was on the crest a dnmnubly long time, but at last it disappears and after a long time the signals go up objectives gained all along the line! Then you take a long drink. We started for homo in the evening and for a solid hour and a half tramped unhappily thru the damnodestH-E barrage 1 have ever bumped Into. We hardly expected to get home but we did Then a long, a very long Scotch, and a little, a very little, soda. 75 CASUALTY LIST i WASHINGTON.

A report on the future finnneinl needs of the allies was presented to the treasury todnv by Osenr T. Crosliy, president nnd Ainerieiin member of the inter allied council on finance and pur chases, on his rclurn from Europe, where he has been since last Septem ber. NAVY TAKES OVER BIG PORTLAND SHIPS PORTLAND, May 8. One of the 8800-ton ships now building at Port land will be taken over direct by the navy. It was announced here to day. The West Indian is the ship chosen and she Is being constructed by the Columbia River Shipbuilding comporallon. She will be used pre sumably for. collier or transport. This Is the first of the new ships built 'iere taken directly by the navy. E There is mystery surrounding the nmiy recruiting office in MetH'onl, which has been closed ever since Serjeant Gustuv Weston, who was in charne, was ordered by telegraph to report to the commander of the recruiting district at Portland, for further orders or assignment. This was nlmut there weeks ntro and Mnce that time no word has been received from Sergeant Wes ton, nor has any one appeared to take charge of the office. As to wither the office will be reopened or not is unknown. Sergeant Wes ton locked the door when he left and the office in the federal 'building lias been locked up ever since. rut :i :s kurvvn that the lack of an army recruiting office in Afed- furtl lias been causing- much incon venience and expense to young men who desire to enlist, and in fact has deterred a number from enlisting. Several have paid their own ex penses to Grants Pass or Portland to enlist. Others who were without funds to do this have been patiently waiting for the office here to re open. The army has a recruiting office at Grant's Pass, mid voung men of Med ford and vicinity to nvid much expense had better enlist there rather than pay their own fare and other expenses lo Portland. E OT Over a hundred P'en In Uncle Sam's fighting uniform who are soon to join the American expedition ary force In France, appear in Norma Talmadge's current elGCt release. "By Hlght of Purchase,'" which will bo shown here at tho Illnlto theater today and tomorrow. Tho picture called for the reproduction of a scene In llero-lund, the great patriotic ba zaar staged recently In the Grand Central Palace In New York City, and the soldiers and sailors of varl ous ranks who look part In it were asked to appear In :.;lss Talmadge's plcturlzation of the spectacle. Their response was generous and aided greatly in tho successful filming of the sceno. With the lights turned on the gaily decorated booths which formed the background for the scene, the studio was bright with khaki, navy blue and gold braid stnsding out against the bright evening dresses of the "extra girls" asd the white uniforms of the Red Cross nurses. Ensign Robert F. Chapman of the Eastern division re cruiting Btntlon was in charge of a number of officers of tho naval re serve who were reinforced by sev eral members of the naval reserve flying corps, and privates and of fl eers of the army were also on band in large numbers. As a background for this military throng, the property- man provided a suitable setting of Bliss torpedo shells, Mitchell-Arm strong cannons and Gatling guns. More than 300 people took part.

President Wilson today Issued a proclamation designating the week beginning May 0 as "Red Cross week," and calling upon the American people to contrib ute generously to the second one hundred million war fund for the American Red Cross ror ilio allevia- tion of suffering among the Amer ican troops in France and their de pendents at home and among' the fighting forces and civilian popula tions of tlio allied countries. The proclamation follows: Prtini dent's Proclamat Inn Inasmuch as tho war fund of 1917, so generously contributed by the American people to the American Red Cross for the administration of relief at home and broad, has been practically exhausted by appropria tions of the welfare of the men In our land and naval forces and for those dependent upon them, and for the yet more urgent necessities of our allies, military and civilian, who have long borne the brunt of war. ' 'And inasmuch as the year of our own participation in the war has brot unprecedented demands upon the pa triotism and liherality of our people, and made evident the necessity of concentrating the work of relief In one main organization which can re spond effectively and universally to the needs of humanity under stress of war, and inasmuch as the duration of the war and the closer and closer cooperation of the American Red Cross with our own army and navy, with the governments of our allies, and with foreign relief organizations, have resulted In the discovery of now opportunities for helpfulness under conditions which translate opportun ity into duty. I ted Cross Is Faithful "And inasmuch as the American Red Cross war council and its com missioners In Europe have faithfully and economically adininlstored the people's trust: "Now therefore, by virtue of my authority as president of the United States and president of the American Rd Cross, I, Woodrow Wilson, do hereby proclaim tho week beginning May 20, 1918, as 'Red Cross week,' during which the people of tho Unit ed States will be called upon again to give generously to the continuation of the Important work of relieving distress, restoring tho waste of war, and assisting in maintaining the mor ale of our troop.; and the troops and peoples of our allies, by this manifes tation of effort and sacrifice on the part of those who, tho not privileged to bear arms, are of one spirit, pur pose, and determination with our warriors. "In witness whereof, I havo here unto set my hand and caused the sent of the United States to bo affixed."

AT ANNIVERSARY OF LUSITANIA SUNG NEW YORK. M ay S . Prussian frightfulness was denounced and the determination of America to wipe it out was emphasized at a Lbsitania memorial mass meeting at Carnegie hall last night, under the auspices of I tho American Defense society, and tho American nights league. Tho (speakers were Theodore Huosevelt and Senator Kobert h. Owen of Okla- homa. Charles S. Falrchild, former secretary of the treasury, presided. Would Ostracize ttm-lie Ostracism from tho markets of the civilized world until they are ready to accede to the principles of inter national law and enter, the family of nations as law-abiding members, was! urged by Senator Owens, as the pen- j alty the world should inflict upon the I Herman, Austrian, Bulgarian nnd Turkish peoples. After reviewing the events leading up to the sinking of tho Lusitania i and the rejoicing thruout Germany j over the crime, he said: j "America probably will havo It,- 000,000 men on the battlo line before! 'the end of 191S, and whatever larger ! number Is necessary will bo forth-1 I coming to establish once more the doctrine implanted by God Himself in the human heart, that justice shall triumph ove Injustice, Inhumanity and terrorism. l!) tared lie;. s Ikmio Thomas Skey hill. Anz.ac soldier, who has been wounded many times and whose sight only recently was partly restored to him, asserted that many of the allied failures were due primarily to lack of preparedness. "This is not only a soldiers war," ho said, "but It Is ulso a civilian's war.' I say to you people of America: Arise, arise, tho foe is at the gate. The crisfH of this war Is approaching. Men, money, munitions are urgently wanted. So for God's sake, pro pa re, prepare, prepare, because- America prepared Is Germany defeated." Colonel Roosevelt was greeted with Both Ends ( Producer and Consumer ) Against The Middle ( The Packer) The consumer wants to pay a low price for meat. The farmer vants to get a high price for cattle. The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it impossible to completely satisfy both. The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be expected of him is that he keep the difference between the two as low as possible. He does this successfully by converting animals into meat and distributing the meat at a minimum of expense, and at a profit too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer. Swift &. Company's 1917 transactions . in Cattle were as follows: Average Per Head Sold meat to Retailer for ... Sold By-products for .... Total Receipts Paid to Cattle Raiser .... Balance (not paid to Cattle Raiser) Paid for labor and expenses at Packing House, Freight on Meat, and Cost of operating Branch distributing houses ... . . Remaining in Packers' hands as returns on investment .... The net profit was $1.29 per head, or about one-fourth cf a cent per pound of beef. By what other method can the difference be tween cattle prices and beef prices be made smaller, and how can the conflicting demands of producer and consumer be better satisfied? 1918 Year Book of interesting and instructive facts sent on request.
