H. The railroad situation forced swine
values in the east to the highest mark
since 1863, and in general this strength
was forced upon the rest Of the coun-
try.
The Portland market showed frac-
tional advance in the price during the
six days; but, unlike the eastern trade,
did not become excited. This is prob
ably due to the fact that no real hog
famine is likely in Portland even
though rail strike was declared. On
account of its location, Portland can
secure its needs of swine by steam
toat This is probably the reason
why the local trade refused to follow
the sensational advances OF Chicago
and other markets where the trade
depends almost entirely upon rail ar
rivals.

KAISER MAKES CHANGE
IN HIGH ARMY COMMAND
Gen. Won Hohenborn, Prussian Min
lister of War, Sent to the
Western Front.
BIZ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. October 30.-A Berlin dis
patch forwarded from Amsterdam says
that the German emperor has sent
Lieut.. Gen. Adolf viii Won Hohenborn,
the Prussian minister of war, to take
command of an army corps on the
western front, and that the emperor
has appointed as Prussian minister of
war and state Lieut.. Gen. Won Stein.
The change, it is stated. is due to the
desire that the minister of war, who
must decide military measures at home,
should have a thorough experience in
the increasing wants of the army in
the field.
Gen. Won Stein was appointed to the
command cs the 14th Reserve Army
Corps in September, 1914, after having
served as quarternlaster general AS
late as two months ago he was in COM
mand of troops in the Somme sector of
the German front, in France, apparent
~ in the vicinity of Thiepval Gen
Wild Won Hohenborn was made quar-
teFfaster general in January, 1915 and
was appointed minister of war to sue
ceed Gen. Won Falkenhayn a few DAYS
later. Before his appointment as quar-
termaster general he saw considera BILE
service as a division commander with
the German army in Flanders.

BELIEVED Mr.. BURLES0M
FAVORS HALF HOLIDAY
Post Office Last Government De-
partment to Report to President
Wilson on the Subject.

The last government department to
report to President Wilson regarding
the advisability of extending the Sarur-
day half holiday throughout the entire
yea-the Post Office Department-is
understood to be favorable. This in
formation came from very reliable
source today.
With Postmaster General Burleson
out of the city, and his last word on
the subject that when he sent in his
answer to the President he intended
to leave it to the White House to an
nounce it or not, as the President saw
fit, it is not known authoritatively if
Mr. Burleson has advised the President.
1t is known. however, that while he
got views from bureau and division
chiefs both in favor and against the
proposal, some feeling that on account
of the nature of their work it would
be inadvisable to have a regular Satur-
day half holiday, the prepapderance of
opinion was that this rest and recre-
alton period should be granted.
There are good reasons for believing
that Postmaster General Burleson has
sent his reply to President Wilson at
Shadow Lawn, and that it is in favor
of the continued half holiday as pro-
posed to President Wilson by Samuel
Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor.
