America must set herself for a tremendous struggle if Germany is to be overwhelmed. Hun dreds of thousands of troops must be sent to France. Railroad engineers and supplies must be hurried to Russia. Fuel matt be supplied to Italy. Other wise hope of crushing the great Teuton military machine will dwindle month by month and the war will be indefi nitely -prolonged. This was the message brought the government here today by members of the American commission to Russia, re turning from their long and historic trip. Russia, they report, is safe. She will survive her present difficulties and today is doing more in a military wav to win the war than America, The return of the commission found all government departments, however, ready to respond to the tremendous demands they face. The shipping board's standardized steel ship .program is about to be launched. Designed of a standard 7, 500 ton cargo carrier is complete. Only the cantonments remain to be let. Steel prices await a determination of cost by the federal trade commission. One company has offered to fabricate 20O ships at interior plants and assem ble them at the seaboard at a cost of approximately $200,000,000. While shipping prices are being whipped into ' shape, steps are being taken further to block efforts of big business to gouge the allies. A policy has' been- decided upon to refuse licenses to firms charging more for supplies to the allies than this govern ment deems fair. i Mflftntimfi t.hn Arnte denflrtment re- II j ceived a few insights on internal con j'l I ditions in Austria, Russia and Italy.

They started from La Grande the latter part of last week but their arrival at Clackamas has bee kept a profound secret and no infor mation has come in from friends and relatives interested in the boys, that it is safe to say they are near home and arrived early this week. Rumors that the boys are going through this city on their way south to their camp at Palo Alto have not been confirmed. Shortly Wore the big firs at Schind ler Brother's dairy an alarm was sent in from the neighborhood of Kearney and Fir streets stating that a tool box on the Oregon Electric line was on fire.

It is believed to have been The twenty five,,.,, business men of Salem who signed an agreement to pay the farmers who raised flax a certain sum, in order that the farmers might be assured of a market, will probably soon be relieved of their contract.

Ready to fix Prices For America and Allies Washington, Aug. 8.- The govern ment is taking steps not only to fix prices on supplies for the allies, but to lay vigirous hands on agencies in the country now holding up prices on food stuffs for tho populace. President Wilson is centering ninety per cent of his working time on the great question of equitable distribu tion of food and supplies at reasonable prices. . Millions of dollars, according to fed eral experts, have been lost because of delay in establishing prices on these necessaries, due to a recalcitrant senate. Consumers, they say, are buying their goods day by day and in many cases meal by meal. There is much suffering. As soon as the food con trol bill is signed they promise many of the present soaring prices will drop. The federal trade commission is com pleting e sweeping food probe t the inquest of the president. Early reports show startling revelations in manipula tion of many necessaries, among them canned goods. Women's Organizotions . Asked to Unite In Forming Central Body The women's committee of the Na tional Council of Defense has written Mrs. Edmund F. Carleton of this city asking her to act as temporary chair man to call together the presidents of all women's Organizations of Salem. Tho plan is to form an organization that will link together all existing or ganizations. As soon as this central or ganization is perfected, the national committee will send full instructions as to the work expected. One phase will be registering the women so as to have in definite form the voluntary, training capacity and willingness tor service ot the women of the city. The registration is official being sent out by the wo men's committee of Washington, D. C. with the approval of the war census bureau. As prompt action is urged, Mrs- Carleton has called the meeting Friday evening of this week, August 10j 7:34 p. m., in the auditorium of the city li brary. It is requested that the presi dent of each women's organization of the city bo present, including church, fraternal, grange, W. C. T. U., club, parent teacher, and all other organiza tions that receive their mail at Salem. In case the president is not able to be present, she is requested to send the vice presidnt or secrtary. Merril Penn May Be First Salem Boy To Be Landed In France Merril Penn, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. T- Penn of this city, who is a mem ber of battery B, Sixth regiment field artillery, is believed to be the first Salem boy to reach Franee since the war broke out. He left an Atlantic port on July 29 and if he arrived safely he has been in the land of the Fleur de Lis several days. In a message to his parents shortly before he left he says the transports were to be convoyed by a large squadron of men o' war. Private Penn served four years in the navy and was aischarged a few days before war was declared; he im mediately enlisted in the field artil lery on the day war was declared and says he likes the new work immensely.

Shortly after he visited his par ents here he was sent to Fort McDow- Camp Meeting at Fourteenth Near Marion The morning devotion opened with prayer. Evang Jackson gave a Bible reading on Six Reasons for Bible Holi ness, as follows: The Bible teaches it God commands it, Jesus died to give it, those who had it, we can have it, we need it. In the afternoon, Rev. W. G. Johns ton, pastor of the Free Methodist church, preached. He deseriminated clearly be tween the justified and the sanctified life, and the relations of the spirit, soul and body. Mr. Hockett led the evening song' service. The Highland quartet sane an excellent selection, entitled, "A Sin ner, Saved by Grace." Evang Jackson preached. His discussion dealt with both modern and old fashioned or real revivals, showing how far the present age nas united irom the old lines. He closed by giving the text from John 3-7, "Ye must be born again." Some prayed through in the after service. Come and hear Evan. K. H. Jackson, you will not be disappointed. Judge Bingham this afternoon render ed a decree in the suit to quiet title brought by John F. Thco. B. Brentano against the unknown heirs of David Gibson, deceased, in which he states that the plaintiff is the owner in fee simple of the land in question and that he has held it adversely for the past twenty years. The defendants are de creed to have no right, title, or inter est in the land. DID WARNER In the city, August 6, 1917, Amos Warner at the ago of 27 years.

The body wa8 forwarded to , Portland by Webb & Clough where funeral services were held this after noon. , ell at San (Francisco and from there to an army training camn in Texns. Then there came a call for men to volunteer to go with a signal unit to France to join General Pershing. At the call, sixty eight men stepped forth as one tnan, and among them was Mer ril Penn. It is reported that William Per lich, of this city, who was scheduled to leave an American port for France a few days ago, saw some excitement before he got out of the harbor as the transport on which he was to travel across the Atlantic was rammed and a hole about twenty five feet long torn in its bottom. However, Private Per lich w'ith others was safely landed and placed on board another boat, or perhaps another story would have to be told. ; PERSONALS ': Governor Withycombe went to Port land this morning.
