REFUGEES To GET
Home BY OCT. |
Garrison Says There Will Be
Accommodations for All
in Great Britain.
ANNOUNCES RELIEF PLAN
Chief Problem Now Is to Reach the
1900 Americans Stranded in
Germany and Austria.
RELIEF PLAN

Following q conference OF more than
three hours in the Office OF the Secretary
OF war last night, Secretary Garrison
announced the general relief plan for
the repatriation OF Americans stranded
abroad. He announced that after the
meeting kilograms were sent to every
diplomatic and consular office Of the
United States in or near the war zone
asking information as TO the best means
OF getting refugees home.
The Secretary said: SO far as Great
Britain is concerned, the committee is
satisfied that there will be no dificulty
in returning all OF he-Americans before
October !. The International Mercantile
Marine Corporation has told US that Il
will be able TO transport in first and
second class cabins 1850 passengers be-
tween now and October /
All I'm England Can Leave.
The Cunard line reports that II can
accommodate 1880. The steerage facilities
are more than double those Of the COM
bined first and second class cabins. This

can In Great Britain, and such as are
In neighborinG territory who may be able
to obtain passage 10 the British Isles.
The French steamers Chicago and Ia
France are already en- route to the
United States The steamers Espagne
and RoChambeau. French vessels char
tered by American diplomatic agents will
sail within a few days. 1t Is expected
that the French lines viii resume regular
ssilings at Jnce. This straightens out
the French situation and provides sur
Plus cabin room for such Americans as
may be passed through the lines from
Germany. Austria. or Switzerland.
Tt Is with regard to the Americans in
the two Teutonic nations and Southern
Europe that the principal problem arises.
We understand that the number Of Amer
leans in Germany is between 1900 and
lo.cOo. There are 200 in Austria The
estimate is that there are 10000 in Switzer-
land and about 700 in Italy.
Transports Getting Ready.
I'VE have chartered a number OF ships
in Italy and Spain. The Italian ships
will sail from Genoa and Naples. Those
chartered in Spain will sail from Genoa,
The situation in the Scandinavian penin-
sula is entirely relieved.
What We have questioned our agents
abroad about tonight was just how to
get the Americans marooned in Ger
many, Austria. and Switzerland out Of
those countries. They may be moved
north to tine British Isles, west through
France, or south through Italy.

ports already under way will 60 for

without using at least some public trans
ports is, fear, at least improbable"

New York. Aug l9.-War is going to
be big thing for the moving picture in
dustry dn America, according to the big
producers in New York. The direct eff
feet on the motion picture business, it is
argued, is to experience a cutting off
of exporting and importing of films and
as soon as conditions are adjusted the in
crease in domestic business will more than
take care OF the export losses. With i'm
pOrtation cut off, American films will be
in great demand and will reap big har-
vests. There is another element, too,
which the moving picture houses con-
slider. In times Of excitement people get
out more and they acquire the habit of
dropping into the movie shows, thus they
become regular patrons Three we'll
known artists in New York gave up their
work this week to join out with an Amer
lean film concern as moving picture op-
orators in the European Wy zone The
operators are being paid S15 a week and
expenses for this work aside from the
experience they gain by seeing real fight
ing and in much travelling.
Several wealthy American women were
forced to endure the hardships of war
in a nerve-raCking manner while in Lon
don, according TO letters received from
England by their friends. Mrs. E. H,
Hartman, Mrs. Oscar Straus and Mrs.
John Dickins, OF New York, were in one
of the larger hotels for tea on the day
that England declared war against Ger
many. One Of the walters came to them
and whispered that they could not be
served, that there was such a great state
Of excitement in the kitchen that nothing
was being done and many Of the serv
ants were leaving to register at the war
offices. The ladies got up 10 go and when

operation, and assistance.
l say, therefore, to the young man
and to the young woman, cultivate
the art of service. Serve yourself,
serve your employer, serve your
friends, serve all with whom you
come in contact. Then you will be
of use, not only to others, but to
yourself Service breeds reciprocity.
Comparatively few people will re-
ceive without either giving or at
tempting to give.
Service not only helps others, but
it develops the server, makes a bet
ter man of him, increases his self
respect and his efficiency.
The selfish man is never a success,
although he may accumulate money:
He has no respect for himself, and
does not obtain the respect of others.
He is a disreputable miser, the pro-
prietor of his own storehouse, a
building with many entrances and no

We were put into this world to do
two distinct things: First, to obtain
something from the world to sow
and to reap; secondly, to dispose of
what we have received, with benefit
to ourselves and others.
All the good of good is in its cir
culation.
Undistributed, It has no value; il
is worth nothing to its possessor and
nothing to the world at large.
Business demands service. Those
who serve well do well. Those who
do not serve fail

tOopynEht, lHI.J

A friend of mine, in conversation
with the only living member of the
last commission appointed to revise
the Bible, put this. question to him:
Gould not the English word serve
have been used in the majority of
cases instead of the word love in
the translation of the Bible?" The
translator replied in the affirmative.
To serve is more than to love, be-
cause service can be applied to every
one and to everything, while It is al
ways difficult to love those who are
not lovable.
1t is obvious that even the best Of
men can have little personal love or
affection for disreputable characters,
for those who stand in the way of
progress, and who represent evil;
yet every decent man can enjoy serv-
ing his fellow-men without discrim-
ination.
The marvellous success of the Boy
Scout movement is due to its funda-
mental principle, which is that of
service. This the boys can apply to
everybody and to everything, and
they do it.
Love is personal and intimate
when applied to any individual and
is general when directed to the race
or to the composite; while service
is both personal and general, init
mate and far-reaching, applicable to
all persons and to all conditions.
Your employer does not ask you
TO love him. He does expect you to
serve him.
Service of country is better than
blind and inactive patriotism.
Because love is intimate and per-
Sonal it may not be able to encom-
pass all conditions without interfer-
ing with individual rights and pref

italian Hatred May Force War
Against Austria.
By BRINTON D. ALLAIRE.

Rome. Aug 1e.-Italian hatred for Aus
tria Is being manifested by anti-German
demonstrations throughout Italy. Heavy
pressure is being brought to bear on the
government to demand an explanation
for the massing OF Austrian troops on
the Italian frontier.
Such a demand would he preliminary
to a declaration OF war between the two
countries. This is expected to come in
the near future.
The Italian government has been anX-
ious to keep out OF the conflict because
Of the drain upon its resources caused
by the Tripolitan campaign. but indi-
cations at present are that the war party
is gaining the asCendency.

Tnterurban Line
Talked for MedfOrd

There is considerable talk to the
effect that the Bulls electric line now
operating in Medford will be pushed
to Ashland, as originally planned by
the Minney people, in the near fu-
ture-the object being to make it a
feeder for the Hill line which it is
now averred will undoubtedly soon
pass through Medford from Eastern
Oregon to the coast at Crescent City.
On the other hand there is much
argument among local timber men
that the Hills will never build
through Medford. They aver that the
Hill lines are naturally looking for
the greatest possible tonnage and that
they also follow Weyerhauser lum-
bering activities where practicable.
They point out that Weyerhauser has
a vast tract of timber about thirty
miles farther south than the line
which would tap Medford and that
this great timber company is believed
about to add the vast Hopkins estate
to it's timber holdings. They cite
further this great tract-the finest
in the world today-must be cut soon
on account of timber beetle devasta-
ton.
Arguing along this line, the tim
bermen figure that the Hill line will
drop farther south than the Mount
Pitt and Butte Falls country and will
pass directly through this great tim.
