This brings the total embarka tions to more than 1,300,000 men and means tlv best month's record that of June was "surpassed by 24,000 men.

Last Sat urday ho was shot and killed by Police Constable Dan Campbell. Campbell says he fired iu self defense, that he simply beat Goodwin to the trigger. Goodwin's friends say that the dead man's rifle was a small weapOL designed to keep him iu food in the woods and that Goodwin would not have shot the po liceman. Campbell has beeu ..:wd and will bo tried both by tivil and military tribunals. Immediately after the shooting camp- boll exclaimed "I'm sorry, but I did it only' to save my own life." Labaiites claim that the shooting was unnecessary and are demanding a rigid investigation. Labor leaders in Vancouver Thursday night decided on I a ono dav 's strike of protost and this went into licet at noon.

Aug. 3 Because approximately 4000 union workers of Vancouver went on a 24-hour strike at noon y.'storday as a protest against the recent killing of Albert Goodwin, alleg ed draft evader, by a Dominion officer, a crowd estimated at nearly 400 re turned soldiers officers and men raid ed th.2 Labor Temple hero today. The soldiers broke down some insido doors, gained entrance to the offices and threw books and records into the street. V. II. Midgley, labor r.acretaiy, and The defensive changes all this. March 20, "Q" was following out its routine deliveries. March 21 the en tire system was as obsolete as the written rules for crossing the sands of the Sahara were to old Noah when ho was suddenly called upon to navi gate the Ark. British divisions no longer were where they had boon. Their addresses had changed. At daybreak they were in ono pace. At noon in another. At night maybe they were no place at all but on the move. That was one problem which had to bo solved. Needs Change Often. Then the needs of tho divisions had changed overnight, and were . chang ing from ono hour to. another. Before, they had to have trench mortars and trench mortar ehells. None of this stuff was needed now that they were on the move. Sometimes one kind of am munition was urgently rfeeded then not needed at all. Suddenly, in one spot, particular kind of artillery matevifcl voud Ibe absolutely Jnjeces sary, and just as suddenly of no use whatover. Barbed wire was in great demand one day and a glut on the mar ket tho next. Before the offensive started "Sup plies" knew to the man how many with armies shifting and side-slipping; divisions merging and criss crossing all tho time; with British divisions being sent to the French and French divisions being shunted up a mong the British, to know what to send and how much was enough to puzzle the solver of the Asian mys tery himself. Where one (Jay supplies went up Dy train, the next they had to go by motor truck, horse transport and pack mule. From routine the system had to be extraordinarily elastic, adaptable to hourly changes. Americans attiv. About this time Americans began ar riving in large numbers in this zone. They were without transport, engineer ing supplies, and mosty minus equip ment. "Q" had to take care of this situation while not neglecting the other, and to their credit be it said, they did it. Not a regiment went hungry, it is said, and, in the midst of all this when U. S. soldiers, who are coffee drinkers, called for coftee grinders from a tea-drinking lot, the coffeo grinders were produced as if by niagie. Not an American unit was left without its grinder though only "Q" and . probably heaven, knows where they came from. Tho refugees had to- be looked afWr by somebody, and this job fell to the lot of "Stvnplies." Some of the civilians acted wisely and left early. Aftor that more loft each day, adding to the already tremcn dous difficulties of military transport bv blocking tho roads with thoir ve hicles and cattle. Some loaded blankets food and spare garments upon donkeys cows, dogs and gouts, taking all they could. Others left home without' even a spare loaf of bread or change of clothing. Many, after leaving, decided they would go back having heard in some mysterious way that tho shelling had ceased only to arrive in time to receive another deluge and fleo again, Experts Called In The "Q" officers did all they could to help these people, to feed the hun gry, clothe the insufficiently clad, house' the roofless, meantimo trying to keep the roads at least passable for their own transport vehicles. One corps impressed its specialist omccrs chap lains, paymasters, chemical advisors, and so on into this, work, clearing up tangles and saving numbers of bad sit uations. For instance, "Q" wished to prevent as much material as possible from fall ing into the hands of the Germans. The Chevrolet 490 at $845 f. o. b.

From the mothor of the second child adopted by Mrs; F. W. Seloo was re ceived the following letter translated in to English, with a picture of the adopt ed boy: "Paris, May 27. My Dear Mad am: 1 was deeply moved to receive the 48 francs from you. I plainly see there are kind hearted people in the United States who are trying to mako lighter the burden that is resting upon us.

It simply means that this number of pco plo in and near Sulein have agreed to pay ten cents a day to aid in tho support of a fatherless French child. And when this is done by tho Americans, the French govcrnmen adds another ten cents a day. The application to adopt a fatherless French child may be made through Miss Cornelia Marvin, state librarian or A. L. Mills of Portland, through whom tho Oregon affairs are transacted. When a child is adopted by tlw ag reement to give ten cents a (lay for its support, 'it is customary for tho mother to writo her appreciation of the kind hearted American and to also send tho picture of the child that lias so been adopted. Yesterday, Mrs. O. D. Harris of Uirk reall, and who spends her winters in Sa lem, sent word to Miss Marvin that she would adopt another French child, hav ing nlready adopted ono several months ago.

Moro than a mil lion iron ani steel workers throughout tho Unitod States are to bo organized under the direction of the American Federation of Labor, President Samuel Gompers announced today. Ciompors conferred last night witfc tho heads of moro than a score of in ternational unions and preliminary plans for the organization were dis cussed. A later conference will bo hold here August 10. Organization processes ar expected to consumo almost two years, it was said. The organization work is to be- un dertaken under a resolution adoptod nfc tho federation's last convention at St. Paul. Gompers personally will havo su pervision. Labor heads believe, Gompers said, tho organization will assure the com: pjetion of necessary war work iu steel and eliminate tho possibility of strike The faster tho boys go on the wei-t-em front, tho faster we must buy War Havings Stumps over hero to keep right behind them. Food supplies which could rot be trausjiorted were distributed among sol diers and civilians. One great army can teen in a forward area, when threaten ed with capture, was emptied of all its sweets, biscuits, cigarettes, cigars and tobacco which wero carried by canteen clerks to a main rr:ad w!erc they sood and distributed these things gratis to soldiers ami refugees as they went by. une entire platoon of roinmics was seen marching down the highway each puffing away at a Corona-Corona. Tommies Behave Well A French matron once remalicd that Tommy Atkins is a "lion in tho trench es and a lamb in the village." She ap parently was right. Ho hud unheard of opportunities to attach himself to some thinir which did not helnmr to him. vi't he seldom availed himself of what used ! to be considered a soldier's privilege.' A claims officer recently . visited I Amiens to adjust any trouble, which j might have arisen there after the evae- j nation of the place. He could find but 1 two cases. One Tommy was up for i breaking into a dwelling house to sc- , euro a comfortable billet. The other j had mado hash of a rabbit, the owner : of which had joined the column of ref ugees. A fine ycord for so many troops in a city of over 100,000 which sud-1 denly had twen deserted by ils regu-r lar population. The average man thinks of war as j two armies, face to face, shooting at j each other bravely, but he forgets, or j never considers the colossal tacK or keeping these men fed, equipped end in transports He ignores tho 200,000, 000 pounds of stuff they use daily, each ounce of which must be transport ed along miles of crowded roads, thru the enoiny's curtains of fire put along routes to prevent trucks coming up, and dospito German gas and Prussian bombs. The "Lillies" do some real spinning after all. And the "Lilies" of "O." are not the only ones. Others entirely outside the actual fighting branches have their troubles, and meet them.
