DRESSERS AND hi Negotiations With Holland Are Concluded The Hag le, Feb." 2- Negotiations between the United States and Hol land over the reloase of Dutch ships hold in American waters have been satisfactorily- .concluded, it was an nounced today. The vessels are free to sail in accordance with provisional ar rangements. Many Dutch ships have been de tained in New York harbor for months awaiting settlement of differences be tween the United States and Holland over the cargoes and the, circumstanc es under which they could sail. Holland Comes to Terms Washington, Feb. 2. Holland has agreed with the United States to de vote sixty per cent of the cargo car ried in shi'is nnw held up in Ameri can ports to supplies for Belgian' re lief. In return, this government has agiiei to rename the ships held, pro viding they remain in permanent ser vice and devnte a largo portion of their cargo on return trips to supplies needed here, it was learned today. The RBTPument releases 430,000 tons of shipping and will serve to relieve allied shipping of much Belgian relief supplies. Cincinnati Floods Now Receding Very Slowly Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 2. The Ohio r'ver was receding slowly here today, Kt a rate of about one tenth of a foot every three hours, -,.,5, 'lue ice gorge in the river at Aurora,' Ind., which, with other gorges, is dam ming the river and thus causing the flood nt Cincinnati, is frozen solid to a depth of 41 feet. At Aurora a railroad bridge, twisted from its foundation, is resting on the ice. It is a heavy bridge and yet it is held by the ice as if it were resting vn a reinrorced concrete foundation. In the meantime the srffering of fam ilies driven from homes increases; coal yards are flooded; a few feet more of water would prevent shipment of coal into Cincinnati on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad tracks; shipment of gen eral freight is crippled and thus indus try is menaced; interurbans are out of business and high water has shut down J sMwmssT a number of factories. 7 J LET US ESTIMATE ON ?

NEW TRIAL ASKED FORJLOYD RAMP Appeal Being Prepared For Kcsekrg's Self-Styled Radical Socialist Portland, Or., Feb. 2. An appeal for a new trial is being prepared today by Floyd Bamp, Boseburg's self-styled radical socialist, who was convicted of violating the espionage act by a jury in the federal district court. He faces 'a fine not exceeding $10,000 and im prisonment up io twenty years. At present Ramp is in federal custody iTH'iidiiisr appeal. His bond was raised from $5,000 to $15,000. Charges that he made seditious I speeches to California soldiers on their way to Camp Lewis caused Eamp's in j dietment. Although not an attorney, he ! conducted his own defense, frequently halting examination of witnesses to ar gra socialism w-ith them. The jury was out hut 45 minutes. On the recommendation of Assistant 'United States Attorney Bankin, Judge 'Wolverton increased Eamp's bond from !$j000 to $15,000 and remanded him to the custody of the United States mar shal until the additional bond is furnisli- ed. Rump was granted JO days in which to file a motion for a new trial. He will i.ot be sentenced until after the expira tion of that time. The offense of which .Bamp was convicted is punishable by a line or not exceeding $10,000 and 20 years' imprisonment in a federal pen itentiary. The statute makes no provis ion tot a minir.iirm penalty. Bamp Preaches Socialism. Closing arguments were concluded and the case submitted to the jury at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, following exhaustive instructions by Judge Wol verton. Forly-iive minutes later, the jurore, through their foreman AL Af BurUer, returned their verdict into eourt. 'Ihe other members of the jury were: J. T. Adkinson, George W. Bibee, Otto Brandes, F.inrer E. Burton, W. H. Ahiridgo, Alb.;-t L. Estes, J. M. Toom ey, Aden Keen. H. B. Stout, L. Berland and E. L. Barnett. Iu his address to the jury Bamp made a rabid argument in defense of the charge against him and preached a tyj ea! socialist sermon. He vigorously denied that he ever had sought to dis courage men from enlisting for military service or to incite insiibordination among the armed forees of the country. He attempted to justify his various se ditious utterances on the grounds of freedom of speech, a right which he af firmed was conceded to every citizen by the federal constitution. EUROPE NEEDS FOOD Food Admin Istrtttion Declares It l an Absolut Sin to Waste Food Food Haa,Becom Sacred. Europe U still sending an Insistent call for more food. We must send it it the war Is to go on efficiently. If we eat it all we cannot ship It, and the food administration has already tried to picture how much that .wheat la needed by people who will starve if they do not get It, the food administra tion states.- ' "For the least bit of heedlessness on your part in food conservation some one somewhere in the world must suf fer privation," an official statement declares. "The food administration has mastered the problem of Ameri cn food In such a way that every ounce of food conserved nnd kept In the currents .of trade goes to an empty stomach In Europe. "It Is an absolute sin to waste food. Tood has become sacred. "Food means life; It means some body's life, nnd you cannot escape re sponslblllty. ".There is no waste of food among the allied nations." WAR BREAD COSTLY TO BRITISH GOVERNMENT Every year the British government pays $200,000,000 toward the cost of tliut nation's war bread. That Is -the principal reason why, English bread prices are lo'ver todny'to the consumer thun In America. Incidentally the British bread is much poorer than the American. Great Britain hns taken over all home grown grain, bought at an arbi trary price, nnd all Imported wheat bought In markets of the world at pre vailing prices. This Is turned over to the mills by the government at a price that allows the adulterated war bread loaf of four pounds to sell at 18 cents. The two pound loaf costs 9 cents, nnd the one pound loaf sells for 5 cents. In milling, however, 14 per cent, more flour is extracted from the wheat than In America'. And there Is a com pulsory adulteration of 20 per cent and an allowable adulteration of 50 per cent. Compared with American bread, the British product Is only about 05 per cent, pure at Its best. In Franco, under conditions some what similar, but with a larger extrac tion, the four pound loaf sells for 10 cents. AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL MEASURE J1IEATJXP3RTS "We have already exported the whole of the surplus of the 1017 wheat harvest, over and above the normal de. mands of our own population. It Is necessary, therefore, for the food ad ministration to restrict export of wheat so as to retain In the United States sufficient supplies to carry our own people until the next harvest. "Therefore all exports of wheat from now- forward are limited entlrly to volume of saving made by the Amer ican people In their, consumption of wheat ami wheat products. "We continued wheat shipments for December as. far ns our situation al lowed, but even with all tho conserva tion made w were still unable to load several hundred thousand tons of food stuff's urgently required by the allied nations during the month of December alone." HERBERT HOOVER. WHEAT-CGRN YEAST BREAD. v Wheat-corn bread Is more nutritious than bread baked with wheat flour alone. Thousands of America fam ilies today are using this mixed flour bread, and In so doing are enrbling America to provide more wheat flour for the allies. Here's a tested recipe for this bread: Take one and a half cups of miik, water or a mixture of the two; one-half cake compressed yeast, one and a hnlf teaspoons salt, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon of fat If desired, one cup cornmeal and two cups wheat flour. Put one and a half cups of water, the cornmeal, sa'it, sugar and fat (If used) Into a double boiler and cook twmty minutes. The water Is suffi cient only to soften the meal a little. Allow the meal to cool to about the temperature of the room and add the flour and yetist mixed with the rest of the water. Knead thoroughly, make Into loaf, place in P"1 ' stand ard size, allow to rise until nearly fills the pan and bake 45 or 50 min utes. It Is hardly practicable to use a greater percentage of cornmeal than this even In emergencies, for bread so made differs very little from bakr' mush. Less cornmeal can be used and In sncn a case the eeneral meth od given above may be followed. It Is possible to make a jreast raised corn bread without first cooking the cornmeal. In this case not more than one cupful of meal should be used to four cupfti' of flonr. In other re gpeets the bread Is mixed and baked as ia tie above recipe. TRY JOURNAL WANT IDS UNDER THE Intimate War Experiences and Observations of Lowell Mellett Paris, Nov. 30. Bue de Greuelle was dark and deserted at b':30. So, too, seem ed the big building of the Bussiau em bassy. The doorman led me to M. Mak lakoff 's ro,ora through halls that echoed our footsteps. In a great, sombre room, lighted only by a desk lamp in one cor ner, stood tho lonesome figure of Keren sky's envoy. He is a big, vital sort of person, but he looked as lonesome as big Busaia looks now oiv-the world's map. Despite a thick beard he looked youth ful. The beard itself, jet black and short was ragged; it had the appearance of being tolerated as something unavoid able, but not encouraged. Tho interview proceeded, after a brief try-out in French and another iu French-English ,in straight Busso-Eug-lish. M. Maklakoff was not happy in English and its extended use proved something of au ordeal for him, but he stuck heroically to the task. He con. fined himself to simple statements not in woras of one syllable, of course, for in a foreign tongue it isn't the short words that usually are easiest but the long ones and made pretty fair prog ress iu elucidating the subject, "How Can America Best Help Kussiai',' The use of both arms aided him a good deal and the ambassador also ap peared to benefit by sitting first on one foot and then ou tho other. But ho wasn't satisfied that he had made him self clear, though he had done so per fectly. As I was leaving there entered a bloude-mustached gentleman. ' Tho ' am bassador Beized him with joy, waved mu back to my chair, and shot a stream of Russian at the newcomer. The. latter then, iu correct Oxford English, re peated it to me. It was exactly what the ambassador had evolved in his own struggle with the English language. When I told him bo lie was greatly pleas ed. . . Vance McCormick admitted today that being an international conferee is in somq ways harder than running a newspaper or electing a president. His particular job, much like that of a min ister of blockade, is undoubtedly ono of the hardest the president had to bestow, since it involves the disposal of Amer ica's product not only to the best ad vantage of America and the allies, but with the least . damage to tho friend ship of tho neutrals. Dined at tho Cafe de la Paix. Just finishing, nbout 9:15, when in steamed a squadron of tho U. S. navy, with a flagship, in tho shape of a large, ser ious gentleman with a South Carolina accent. I heard the accent across the room as tho Flagship endeavored to ar range to take on supplies for himself and party. The Southern drawl ia a beau tiful thing, but it isn't French. The re sult was a deadlocks Tho officer's eyes roved around the room till they caught mine and ho called wit across the heads of all intervening diners. "Do you speak English?" "American," I responded. "My name's Mosticr," said the Flag ship. ' We 're just off a train after rid ing all day and wo'ro hungry enough to eat a grizzly bear, hide, and all. I've tried to tell these people, but they don't understand. Maybe you can help." I could for 1 'd heard the head wait ter talking excellent English only a few minutes before. Paris Nov. 2!). Well, I've just about seen them all, They were there this morning and if. rl didn't- see all of them it was because-they came so fast one pair of eyes couldn't take them in. Or because oci asionally one particular face liko Cadorua's, for instance was bound to Knag one's attention to the exclusion of the others. With a little imagination it is pos sible to see in Cadurna 's face the whole story of tli8 war. Rugged and gnarled in outline and seamed with the" lines made by trouble trouble, trouble hard thinking and unescapable responsibility, it is yet a cool and confident counten ance. His eyes, seen in the shadow of his cap's vicer, aro clear and sure. And there is no sag in his chunky shoulders. He was the center of one group of Italians that siood for a' moment in the ante room off the room of the Minis tere des Affaires Etiangers before pass ing into the Inter-allies conference room. Tho new premier Orlando and Baron Sonnino led another group through the crowd of quiet well dress ed spectators into the building. The ante room filled" up rapidly and soon was almi st crowded. It was a col orful scene, ttie brilliant uniforms of the generals few less than generals were present being set against occas ional back-grrmnds of black and white, such as Dr. Alonzo Taylor, Bainbridge Colby, Mr. Balfour and Lord Bertie, fen example. The Japanese; Col. Tnvaka, and others, furnished the needed rest ful green, their khaki having some thing of green in it, enough in fact to lend that color to their sallow brown faces. Saw tliem all, General Chang-Tsai-Li, of China, and i'opovk-h of Montenegro Generals Pctain and Foch of France, Lord Uilner, Gen. Sir Henry Wilson I and the rest from England, Prince Cha jroon of Siam, Premier Venize'los, of i Greece, nnd Sevastopoulo from Bussia, In all there were close to a hundred, i Didn't see Clenienceau, he apparently 'entering the council chamber directly 'from his private office. Was sorry; i wanted to see the Ally who sets bin 'face against a League of Nations. The couieiees stood atjout tne Dig room iu separate groups. Occasionally the eyes of one group- strayed toward another, but the amalgam hadn't beguu to work. Came then Col. House, of Austin, Tex., U. S. A. Almost instantly all was chanced. Lord Northcliffe saw him first, but the crowd closed about rapidly to fol low Northcliffe 's handshaking example. Soon nothing but the shining upper i curve of the Colonel's unthatched head could be seen. One consequence of this concentration on the Colonel was that Lloyd George and Earl Beading entering a moment later were almost unnoticed, all backs being turned to the door. The eunferees moved into the council CAMOUFLAEE chamber and the doors closed, with mo on the outside. Every now and then a reporter is ter ribly tempted. This was one of those times. I could have walked in and par ticipated, silently, in that epoch-making conference. I wag sure of it and one of tho American members confirmed the opinion later. But I didn't go in. Aside from tho ethics of the thing, there was always the possibility of being kicked clear from the banks of the Seine to the far away bank of the Wabash. The session lasted less than an hour, barely time to telephone the office and pay a flying visit to the tomb of Na poleon in des Invalides across the way. It being ono of the three days in tho week when visitors are admitted there was an immense throng, dividing their homage between t lie plain casket of the Emperor and tho flower-bedecked aero plane of Guynemer, on exhibition in the courtyard. About half of the visit ors were French soldiers and their fam ilies. Ten per cent were Americans. Salem Sunday School Association Formed At a recent meeting of the pastors and Sunday scliool superintendents of the city, an organization was formed to meot a much felt need in Salom, tho Salem Sunday School association. The purpose of the organization is to bind the Sunday schools of-Salem together in active helpfulness, and to dovelop strong Christian leaders and trained and efficient workers in all evangel ical churches. The immediate work of the associa tion is the organisation and promotion of a Community Teacher Training class under the direction of Willamette university- This class will mot in two divisions, the first under Dr. C. L Sherman, head of tho department of education of W. IT. every Friday after noon at 2:30, in Eaton hall, beginning February 15. To those successfully com pleting'this course the university will allow credits which may be applied on a A. B. degree. Dr. Sherman's class is not limited to university students but is designed to benefit Sunday school teachers and those who are in terested in becoming teachers. The second division of the class will meet with Gertrude Eakih, in science hall, corner Winter and State, on Wed nesday 'evenings from 7 to 8 o'clock, beginning Feb. 13, and will accommo date those who cannot take the work ait an earlier hour. This is a communi ty, class and 'it is hoped that thero will be a large enrollment from tho Sunday schools of the city. The general, program of work as out lined for the new association is as fol lows: 1 Educational, inlcluding teacher training, high school Bible classes, etc. under the supervision of John W. Todd 2 Extension, including rural visita tion, cradle roll, home department, .tin der the direction of B. C.
