ORDERS TO MOVE
TROOPS SUSPENDED
PENDING STRIKE
Action Is Merely One of
Precaution and Was Taken
on the Advice of Gen
eral Funston

Washington, August 15.-Orders for
the remaining modified units of the
National Guard to proceed to the Dor
der have been suspended by the war
department. No official explanation
has been made, but 1t is known that
the delicacy of the railroad strike stu
alton has been the measurable consid-
Grafton.
The suspension of the orders to the
troops which would have moved some
$4,000 men to the border should not be
taken as an indication that the Pres
ident's negotiations with the railroad
brotherhoods and the railroad mana
gers have taken an unfavorable turn,
but is a measure of precaution. 1t was
considered highly undesirable that all
the remaining guardsmen should be
moved to the border while there was
a possibility of a railroad strike in
which they might be called upon to
preserve order throughout some of the
states. There is even the possibility
that some of the troops in the event of
a strike might be called upon to guard
or operate mail trains and trains sup

and Tuscaloosa has already begun to
feel the shortage of equipment.
News was received in Tuscaloosa today
of the death of Mrs G. P. Ayers, for

in New York city. Mrs Ayers was an
active club woman in Tuscaloosa, and had
many friensd here.
The Civic Improvement society of Tus-

known as cleanup week" in Tuscaloosa,
and every citizen will be asked to make
an extra effort to keep the city clean.

GAIN WEST FRONT

Berlin, August 15.-(Via London.)
After attacks of the greatest violence
on the somme front, continuing until
late last night, the British obtained a
footing in first line trenches OF the
German positions on the Thiepval-
Pieris. No casualties or damage re-
nounced today.
The announcement follows:
Yesterday afternoon the British re-
heated their attacks from the Ovillers-

them with the greatest violence far into

NOT REVOCATION

The suspension of the orders pre-
troops from Kentucky, Ohio and YER
mont and the movement of all other
modified units which were to have
gone forward as soon as they were
equipped Some of the Kentucky, Ohio
and Vermont troops were about ready
to go to the border.
1t is clear that the suspension is not
a revocation of the orders, and that
If the railroad strike situation clears
up, the troops will be moved to the
border line.
The official explanation of the
change at the war department is that
difficulties of transportation and
equipment, suddenly developed, have
made a delay necessary. 1t is known,
however, that the railway situation is
the real cause.
FUNSTON ADVISED
A telegram from Major General Fun
ston, made public by the war depart
ment, disclosed that the general rec
commended the suspension of the or
ders. His telegram follows:
I'm view of the possibility Of gen.
eral railroad strike, desire to call at
tention of the war department to diff
ficulties that will follow in maintain
ing food supplies not only of troops in
this department, but of the civilian
population as well. These border states
produce but little foodstuffs except
cattle.
in view of the foregoing I recon-
mend that National Guard organiza-
lions which are about to start for bor-
der stations be retained in their mo-
bilization until such time as the ques-
ton of general strike shall have been
determined

The EDITORS BATH

Last night just as the editor was
about to take bath, the water was
shut off from the mains and be had to
forego the pleasure. 1t may be long
time now before he can make up his
mind to take a bath again. 1t is the
first time the water has been shut off
since the primary election, when every
body was suffering for water and could
not get drink. 1t will probably not
be shut off again until the general elec.
tion or possibly not until Thanksgiving.
But every time there is something GO
ing on in town that brings in outside
people the water company cannot fore
go the pleasure of turning off the
water. r.-Skamania County Pioneer.

FROM THE SOLID SOUTH

Four years ago one Of the most ve-
hement and persistent supporters OF
Woodrow Wilson was the veteran Henry
Watterson, of the Louisville Courier
Journal. Colonel Watterson soon found
that ehis idol had clay feet. beginning
with Mr.. Wilson's cold turn down Of
Colonel George Harvey. the man who
groomed Wilson four years ago for the
White House. Marse Henry's faith in
the ''lonely man in the White House"
has been steadily slipping since that
time, and while he is backing the pres.
ent Democratic ticket. be is doing ],
in a perfunetory way.
In the Courier-Journal of September
IL, Colonel Watterson discusses Hughes
and Wilson. After some of the good
old worn-out Democratic whaling f
the Republican nominee, Colonel Wat.
terson then refers to his fallen idol in
the following terms:
"Mr. Wilson on the other hand, is q
clever. highly educated opportunist,
who has studied the cue papers, girded
bis loins and gone after the interests
hip and thigh. He reasons rightly that
the Age of Force is gone-or going
and that the Age of Numbers is upon
US. He intimates that tthey did not
know everything in the days of Thomas
Jefferson. and, having perused trifle
cynically his Jeffersonian hornbook, he
would improve upon it. He is ambi-
tious and would found a school of Will
soniap Democracy in succession to JEFF
fersonian Democracy.
This the Courier-Journal contests,
seriously doubling the sentimentalism
of the New Freedom, and wholly rejec-
ting the cant and hypocrisy of the
Uplift."
Colonel Watterson also says that as
between Hughes and Wilson. 1--WE take
Wilson," but he also says:
"The Courier-Journal is giving the
Wilson candidacy but qualified sup
port, reserving to itself the right in
the event of his election to de.
cline responsibility for what may fol-
low and oppose such of his policies and
assumptions as 1t may not approve. f"

BENSON ON ROAD LAWS

1t is probable that no man has made
greater study of Oregon road needs
than S. Benson, who, too. has done
more toward aiding road building by
contribution of personal funds than
any other man of the Northwest. Mr..
Benson, who recently read paper be-
fore the Portland Realty Board, sees
the need of reform in Oregon road
laws. Mr.. Benson furthermore urges
that State Highgway Commission of
successful business men be appointed,
men who will inspire confidence and
get the full value of money expended.
Commissioners should serve without
pay, but should be empowered to en-
ploy a competent engineer and assume
full responsibility for the road pro-
gram.
Mr.. Benson believes state tax levy
necessary for the construction and
maintenance of main state trunk liaes.
He says:
A very necessary step is to provide
funds, which should be not less than
one-mill tax levy, which, along with
the available government and land
grant funds, in few years would give
US good start on state highways.
| would give attention first to grad
ing main trunk lines according to need
and Importance Of each particular road
and each road or proposed road should
be classified as to its Importance and
taken up in rotation. Z
The Pacific highway from Portland
to Medford on both sides of the Will
lamette as far as Eugene and the Co.
lumbia River highway from Astoria to
the Idaho line are of equal importance,
and the two most important projec-
tons in the state next would be from
The Dalles to California and from the
Pacific highway to Coos Bay and Tilla.
nook, and later would connect every
county seat and populous community
with some trunk line.
MIR. Benson says the construction of
lateral and feeder roads should come
later.

District Attorney.
To the Voters of Hood River County:
1t will be inexpedient, owing to the
fact that the people Of the county are
too busy at this time, for them to be in

the voters that my name will appear on
the ballot as candidate for District At
torney at the coming election, and that

ciated, if you believe me competent to

ton during the past ten years with the
civic affairs of the State, County and
and City, if impartially reviewed, will
disclose that am.
II elected, will in the future as in
the past, undertake to the best of my
ability to try to enforce all the laws,
none above another, with impartiality,
believing that whether law Is good or
bad is not question to be determined
by this office, but by the Legislature.

County and State are now pending, and
in all modesty | think NAV say that
they have thus far been successfully
handled, and if am retained in office
they will receive continued and careful
attention.

but one where the use of fair common
sense, coupled with desire to do
remedial justice, will achieve the best
results for the people.
Your support on the above basis will
be appreciated.

A clergyman was very fond of par.
ticularly hot brand Of pickles. and,
finding great difficulty in procuring the
same sort at hotels when travelling, al
ways carried bottle with him. One
day, when dining at a restaurant with
his pickles in front of him, a stranger
sat down at the same table, and pretty
soon asked the minister to pass the
pickles. The divine, who enjoyed a
joke. politely passed the pickles, and.
in few seconds had the satisfaction
of seeing the stranger watering at the
eyes and gasping for breath.

U-53 BOAT RAID PUTS
APPLE MEN ON ALERT

A wire received here Monday by the
Apple Growers Association from H. F.
Davidson. who is handling the export
business of the agency. reports that
trans Atlantic shipping, as result Of
the activity Of the German submarine
Sunday. was temporarily paralyzed.
The opinion, however. was expressed
that the Generalization will be only
temporary. The temporary delay will
not affect delivery of Hood River ap-
pies, which have not begun to roll to
any large extent because of Iateness of
maturity. but fruit from other districts
will probably be held until a resump-
tion of transatlantic shipping.
"Ihe raid Of the U.s." says Wilmer
Sieg, "has certainly caused apple sales
agency officials to be on the alert. A
few more such attacks might have a
vital bearing on the seasons export
