' , - . lj-v The PRICE SHOE COMPANY ii V ALLIES WILL MEET Continued from page one) tha sending of American forces tbroad The crisis came home with full force today from England's action in rais ing the military age to 50 years of age and her proposal to conscript Irishmen. President Wilson cleared the way by sidetracking the idea of a political of fensive against Austria and by declar ing that hereafter unstinted force will be America's role. Lloyd-George, au thorities pointed out, staked his polit ical career and ran the risk of serious rebellion in Ireland in forcing the con scription issue. Only a really grave need for men would force these steps. British General Failed The shelving of General Gough, lead . er of the beaten Fifth British army, jilus appointment of General Foch as ichiei' strategist, evidently, superceding the Versailles council plan revealed untold features of the western battle. Britain and France have been through the fire and close to a fatal conflagra tion, according to military men. Something went wrong with the Fifth army, they say. And Lloyd George himself pointed out that only part of the story of that western hell has been told to date. Enough now is revealed, however, to convince mili tary authorities here that England and France have drawn heavily on reserves to halt the Germans before Amiens. America will play a vast part in the coming days. Her troop shipment sc-hed ule is geared high, and she will have a surprising representation on the west line in the next three or four months. This addition, with Britain's new men, is counted on definitely to check German ambitions. The situation, in England and Ire land, aside from the question of furn ishing Americans more rapidly, offers embarrassing problems for American ,statosmen. The alien draft treaty, while mot now mentioning Ireland, is so framed that when conscription is enforced in Ireland, it can fie ' used against Irishmen here. The general belief, here is that con scription in Ireland will stick and that in time the agitation against it will subside. America will probably take no steps to draft Irishmen until this quieter .stage is reached. London Indorses It London, April 10. The London morn ing newspapers, for tho most part, praise Premier Lloyd-George's courage in demanding Irish conscription. They hold it purely a matter of justice, re quiring Ireland though belated to pay a portion of the cost of world freedom. Though it is realized the enforce ment of conscription in Ireland is fraught with possibilities of a serious nature, there seems to be a desire for a showdown. There is confidence that pos.-u.ble organized resistance in ire land would bo defeated, because it is Ibelieved tlult such resistance would not represent all Ireland's opinion, but merely the fragment which is respons ive to the obstructionist politicians. After all, it is held by the London press, it is tho government's duty to enforce all measures for the country's safety, upon all subjects. The Express said: ' 'We are warned that conscription will unify the na tionalists and Sin Feiners in rebellion against the British. We do not believe this- If Ireland does not respond to conscription, strong , orders from the government must govern the situation' Though curious as to the course of events on the western front since the German attack, especially in view of Lloyd-George's statement that the British army command had advance knowledge of the German plans, the morning newspapers mostly expressed willingness to await further informa- Put on the Bevo Glasses when you set the table for the bite you've prepared for the guests of the evening.

A cablegram was dispatched '"by O'Connor today to John Dillon, M. 'P., declaring conscription would ' 'encour age our bitterest enemies in this coun try." O'Connor's message to Dillon fol lows: "Must at once record solemn warn ing against conscription in Ireland. It will paralyzo friends and encourag bitterest enemies in this country.

All reported over subscription shortly after nine o'clock Saturday morning. Coast Leads Country. . San Francisco, April 10. Pacific coast libe-ty loan subscriptions today forged ahead rapidly toward the goal of $:uo,uuu,uuu. Definite totals from tho seven states comprising the Twelfth federal reserve district were not avail able, but every message received at headquarters today told of subscrp tions greatly larger than those of either of the previous loans. At the present rate, officials said, the Twelfth district will have attained its quota in another week. A message from Portland today said subscriptions m Oregon totalled $12, 31,400 to which must be added the city's subscriptions estimated at $2,- 000,000, since Monday, making a total of more than $14,000,000 as against a state quote of $18,495,000. Los Angeles reported that Bill Hart has sold $105,000 worth of bonds and Charley Chaplin $50,000. A cablegram received today from O. F. Nelson at Apia, Samoa, ordered a $1,000 bond. . Nelson, not an American, added that"he was buying the bond be cause he had recently visited the United States and was "interested." Chicago Has $40,000,000. Chicago, April 10.

It continued for an hour or two, then died down. A couple of hours later a sudden barrage was put down from Ar,mentieres to the northward of Lens, the German- in fantry following in its wake. Heavy, continuing fighting resulted which was particularly hot east of Fes ttfbert. Long range guns shelled Bethune, Estaires, Laventie and practically all the villages in the back areas. Von Quast used several fresh divisions. Tho weather was misty and tho sky overcast throughout the day. The ground is very muddy owing to the rains. Hindenburg, foiled in his attempt against Arras, Vimy and Notre Dame Lorette, perhaps hopes to flank the iBritisli positions trom the north. British Betake Town London, April 10. Heavy fighting continued nortn ot tne lvaiiassee canal yesterday evening and last night, Field Marahal Haig reported) today. The British are holding desperately along tne Lyt and I,awe rivers. A counter attack on the southern flank resulted in the recapture of Givenchy by the British. "Fighting continued north of tho LsiBassee canal yesterday evening and last night, the statefmont said. "We are holding the line on the rivers Lawe and Lys, and are heavily engaging the enemy on the crossings at Jstaires and Baa St. Alaur. "On the southern flank, Givenchy was recaptured in a successful counter attack. We took 7a0 prisoners here. "East and north of Armentiercs, as far as the Ypre-Gomines canal there was a heavy hostiue bombardment ear ly this morning with fighting on the southern portion ot tnis rront. "On the British front south of the Sommie, there was local fighting, ' Field Marshal Haig reported. .. "The situation is unchanged." Heavy ArtiUerying Paris, April 10. "Great mutual ar tillery fighting" along a wide front held by French and American troops, from south of Verdun to east of St Mihiel was reported by the French war office today. "Along the left bank of the Meuse, in the Apremont forest and in the re gion of Flirey, there was great mutual artillery fighting," the communique said. (The Meuse flows northward through St. Mihiel and Verdun. It is on this sector that American troops took over additional trenches to re lease French forces for the battle ot Picardy. Apremont is five miles south east of St. Mihiel. Flirey is 14 miles east of St. Mihiel. Both of these plac es are in that portion of the line offi cially referred to as the 'Toul sec tor").

FLETCHER'S CASTORIA ORDINANCE WOULD POT LOAFING Alderman Ward Would Com pel AH Able Bodied Per sons to Work Loafing will be made a crime in Sa lem should the council pass the ordin ance to be submitted by Alderman Frank Ward at the meeting next Mon day evening. It seems that Mr. Ward has been tak ing note of the fact that the states and cities back east have decided that the days of the loafer are numbered and lie sees no reason why Salem should i:ot line up in the latest of war measures The ordinance is to further define what shall constitute vagrancy and to also assist the city marshal and city recorder in finding employment for the unemployed. Following the wording.of tho old vag rancy ordinance which forbids begging or lingering about or standing on street coiners or alleys or public places with out visiblo means of support; or roam ing or strolling around the streets of Salem at unseemly hours of the night, the ordinance provides: "Or any able bodied male between eighteen and fifty years of age who shall, in day time, habitually frequent or visit pool halls, billiard rooms, card rooms and bowling alleys, or who shall in the day time 1 ubitually linger or loiter around about o:' in such places, or depots, parks or oth;r public places, is hereby defined to be a vagrant." The ordinance also provides that it shall be the duly of the city marshal and policemen to frequent and inspect places whore men are likely to congre gate and to warn any idle persons to secure employment. The policemen or marshal are to inform any loafers found of the location of tho office of the city recorder and of the fact that a list of available positions is kept there on file. Besides helping the loafer to find a job, tho police force is to be instruct ed to keep a record of the man found loafing. Another provision is that the recorder's office keep a register of per sons who are in need of laborers, to gether "with the nature of the labor and wages paid and to make a reasonable effort to keep in touch with employers of labor around Salem. If tho ordinance passes, there will be no idle rich or idle poor. P ER UNA Best All Around Medicine Ever I Hope Yon Will Publish This Jeiler aae Mr. W. H.

"After a number of German attacks in tho region of Ilarganl-en-Sajutcrre (where the British and French lines converge five miles south Of the Som .111c, at Corbie), we finally retained the village and cemetery. "West of Castel and in the region of Stizoy (in the neighborhood of Mo reuil), German attacks were sanguin arily defeated." - - Making Town Untenable. London, April 10. The Germans this morning renewed their northern attack from east of Armentiercs as far as Mes sines( five miles north of Armentieres) General Maurice, director of operations, announced this afternoon. "They entered our line between tho Lys and the Douve (one mile south of sA mid cniitured a considerable portion of Ploegsteert wood (two miles south of the Douve," lie saia. "The enemy is carrying out its orig inal program of attempting to bleed the British army white," Maurice -said. "The attack on the Messines front 'has been r pulsed and no high ground has been gained by the enemy but the small advance made, together with yes terday's gains, may make Armentieres a very awkward salient. Tlio enemy is now on both sides of Armentieres, which is a heap of ruins. If it is lost it will not be vital. "Last night east of the old battle field, the French carried out a with drawal from an awkward angle due to retirements of the Fifth army. Two French battalions were cut off and nrobablv 2.000 taken prisoner. The French fell back to a strong line on the Ailette. ' "We and tho Portuguese lost guns in yesterday 's attack between Armentieres and Bethune, and the Portuguese prob ably lost prisoners.' S. P. OFFICERS ELECTED ing of geared drive in order that the usefulness of the motor may be further extended and further improvements at tained. Twenty two thousand, five hun dred liberty motors have been ordered; 122 have been completed for the army and 142 for tho navy. Four have been shipped overseas. Some of thoso already delivered are .being altered to over come the defects ascertained during the last few weeks. "The production of liberty motors to date is, of course, gravely disappoint ing.

"Information of this sort, not borne out by facts, has been injurious 'and its uuiisciini dissemination the committee regards as misleading and detrimental to our cause." Declaring that the production of com bat planes has thus far boon a sub stantial failure and constitutes a most serious disappointment in our war pre parations, the report said: "We had no design of our own; neith er did we adopt any one of the Euro pean designs unta months after we en tered tho war. Much time was consum ed in discussion as tn t jCrable changes in designs and pecifi- annua ui. uie typos rinaily decided on have cost further delays. In all, five '.'I nave, ni one timo or another, been adopted. Two nf tlim i,o abandoned after the expenditure of imih-u iiuio mm money. "I lie three remaining types still left on our program are now in the course of manufacture. Of these, the s largest and most powerful is the Hadley-Page heavy bombing machine, designed to carry, as many as six men, eight ma chine guns and a heavy load of bombs, and to bo driven by two liberty motors. "The history of the negotiations of the adoption and manufacture of this plaue afford a remarkable illustration of procrastination nnd indecision too long to recite. Suffice it to say that the designs and specifications of this plane which had been used with mark ed success by the British, and placed in production by thnt government, Were offered to our officials as early as May, 1917. The testimony before your com mittee iows that the signal corps fin ally decided on the manufacture of a number of sets of parts of this machine about January 1, 19.18."

Encourage aircraft invention and de velopment. Make a broad plan and policy for the future. About the Motors Concerning the liberty motor, the committee said: "It is not designed for and cannot be used in the swift, single-seater fight ing machine. A few of the motors arc being flown in appropriate machines. The reports as recited to the committee indicate that nith the latest changes the motor will be atisfactory for the char acter of work expected of It and that it bids fair to hold its own with foreign motors of similar power, weight, and purpose. For the campaign of 1919 the liberty motor must undoubtedly be fur ther improved in order to keep up with the evolution constantly going on along the front. 'Steps are being taken in the design- They're scared of the Dental Trust, in the first place, because the big bogie-man threatens to punish 'em if they break any of the rules of the com bineif they cut prices or advertise or do any other little thing that the Trust has decided is "unethical." They're scared of doing dentistry in a sensible, up to date way because it would show them up as no business men at all just old fashioned bunco artists,, trading on the old reliablesfear and ignorance. They're scared to tell the people anything about the real facts concerning tooth-work, because the people might find out that the molar-mechanic was no sooth-sayer but just a skillful artisan," who should be charging for his work as any skill ful artisan should charge. - They're scared to ask reasonable prices for their work because they think that they wouldn't get enough customers to pay the office rent. They haven't the business sense to know that'a fair price for a workmanlike job is a wonderful advertisement in itself, and attracts other s patrons like flies around the molasses jug. They're scared to tackle printer's ink to tell people about tooth-work first, because their traditions tell them it is so vulgar; second, because they haven't the confidence in their own ability to travel in fast company; third, because they are economically stone-blind. They're scared of Painless Parker because, despite the hammer fest, he keeps on enlarging his prac tice, delivering the goods and defying the Trust. And they've got sort of discouraged trying to put him out of business particularly because when ever Parker's downed for keeps, he opens a few new dental offices in different cities up and down our fair land. r , f . .4:.-:-'!,.;- V .
