first woman Sammy apparently tht
enigma of the army today, is not re
garded here, where she is known, as an
HAmazon but an ordinary American
girl with extraordinary courage and dc
votion--and enough resourcefulness tt
see her through any emergency.
And as the wife of Corporal John
Carter of an infantry regiment, she
met and overcome, at least temporarily
the obstacle of separation that stared
her in the face when Corporal John
was ordered to France.
Married here a year ago, as Miss
Hazel Blowser, she determined ther
hat the "until death do them part
provision of the ceremony should be
made to hold as near as humanity pos
sible. So she planned to accompany hel
husband to the trenches.
Providing herself with a private s
full uniform and war equipment and
two weeks training in military lore
I"Private" Carter mustered in with
the regiment, and went away, presum'
ably to France.
Willingly she sacrificed her beauti-
full black hair and discarded dainty
feminine slippers for the heavy foot
gear of the marching men. And as far is
known here she got by even onto
the shore of France. where it is sup,
posed she will remain to take up Red
Cross nursing.
Her father lives in Salem, Or. Her

WOULD GIVE JAPAN
CONTROL OE PACIFIC
Japanese ShipOwners Object
to Entering Pool to System
ize Shipping

| Seattle. Wash, July 16.-News, leak
ing out of Washington, d. c., that a
contemplated international pool of mer
chant vessels would arrange trade
routes in such a manner as to leave the
Pacific ocean entirely to the japanese
has created furore among shipping
men here today.
AS the information trickles here
through underground news sources to
the Seattle chamber OF commerce, dip
lomats representing the United States.
ENGLAND, France and Japan have been
at work on a proposition to place under
an international pool approximately
seventy five per cent of all the mer-
chant vessels controlled bv these ma
tions. The United States shipping board
was officially represented at these con-
ferences.
Under the plan proposed an interna-
tional shipping board was to operate a
gigantic fleet for the purpose of system
shipping the war supplies to the allies.
The Japanese, under this arrange
ment, were to furnish 100000 tons in
the international pool, leaving 100000
for regular trade.
L MS was dtNGpldDit W lHC
representative who sat in the diplomat
ic conference, according to the rumor-
ed information. But when the PROPOSE
tion reached Japan, it raised storm
of protest.
1t is alleged that the japanese want
ed to remain out of the pool and left to
handle trade as they have been doing
heretofore. If that condition prevailed,
it would augment tremendously Japan S
control of commerce on the Pacific
ocean, while making American com
merce proportionately insignificant.
The immense Russian trade through
Vladivostok, would it is feared be en-
tirelv lost to America.
Shipping men here say they are will
ing to contribute to the international
pool under the original agreement,
which demands equal sacrifice of both
Americans and japanese.
However, if Pacific coast ships are
put into the pool by America, while
Japan stays out of it, it means the end
to America S foreign trade in the Ori-

SALEM GIRL IS FIRST
OF AMERICAN SANM|ES
Hazel BiOwser, Now Mrs. Cor.
pOral Carter, Goes with
Husband to Front

New York, July 16.-Uncle Sam has
woman on his hands today and he
dom know what to do with her. She
is the first "woman Sammy to be
near her husband, corporal from
Douglas, Ariz., in Pershng S army. She
disguised herself as a soldier, was dis
covered on the transport and sent back
to the United States from France.
A badly perpled lot of army Officers
refused information about the Amazon
today. One report was that she was
held inconmunieado aboard an army
transport now in port.
Another was that because the army
Officers could not figure out that she
had violated any law, and since she
WASH t member Of the military forces
liable to court martial, she had been
quietly sent ashore to be started home.
Major Jewell, 5. A., in charge of af-
fairs around the transport, would not
say he knew anything whatever about
the lady today, except he was "investi-
eating"
If the feminine Sammy is being held
part of the perplexity of Uncle Sam s
representatives is explained. Federal of
ficials, it was learned washed their
hands of the matter They insisted they
knew nothing at all about it today. AT
Governors Island, army headquarters
for the Eastern department, officials
dsclaimed all knowledge.
Ellis Island, immigrant station, and
now German internment camp, also
said they didn t have the great question
to deal with, since she WASH t an alien.
Meanwhile there doesn't seem to be
any law for furnishing a girl so patri-
otic as to don khaki and follow the flag
to France.

Senator's Stand In Sixth Place
But Lead In Number Of
Runs for Season
By II. c. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, July 16.-The Senators

supply the tragedy of the season on
their record to date.
Possessed Of one pitcher generally re-
ferred to as the king of them all, and
holding generally fair array of other
ball players, the Senators have scored
more runs than any team in the league.
Cleveland is below the Senators in
matter of club fielding, but easily top
them in games won.
The answer probably lies in ineffcct-
iveness of Washington pitchers.
Walter johnson is having the poorest
year he ever experienced. Victories
simply cannot go his way And it is not
a case totally Of poor support, for he
has given some decidedly rough past

pitchers, something he is not aeeustom-
ed TO. Shaw, Harper and Gallia of the
Washington staff all top him in the

CHANGES
 IN STYLES NEW
 SAVING SCHEME

It is announced that the Designers Association, which meets at Chicago, January Is, will curb the style of women's clothes. It is desired to con- serve materials. They propose to ere ate fewer changes of stylea Presi- dent Lenny of the association, thinks one or two style changes a year are enough. He will try to hold down the exuberant fancy of the designers. It. may be some job. Making new styles for women has been a great game. If the producers desired more business, all they had to do was to create some new styles. Then women would throw away garments that were perfectly good, simply because they looked out of date. This doubled the sale of clothing.
 It did not help retail merchants They had to dispose of many stocks at large sacrifices, and they never knew what to depend upon. The willing ness of women to accept these fre- quent style changes has grown out of the fixed tradition that it is women s business to please the men. New and stylish clothing helps toward that end.
 Progressive women don't like to feel they are mere parasites dependent for their support on the favor of some man. They conceive that woman s first business is to do her work in the world. She is under the same obligation to please men, as men are to please women, and no more. Hence there is no reason why she should be taxed for incessant style changes than that men should be.
 The producers have made money out of frequent style changes. So many factories are now supplying war material that producers have all they can do. So they don't need to trot out new style every two months. After the war is over, they will no doubt Sind the same old game profitable. But women are getting very independ- i ent and may not play it.

POLES

Maciste, famous giant and strong man, he of the "Cabiria" fame, has retuHaed again temporarily to the scresn, although he is fighting in the Italian ranks abroad. In the War rior'' he shows some of the incidents through which he is said to have passed when on the Austrian border during the outbreak of the war.
 There probably never has been at Polf's theatre such a succession of thrills, shouts and laughs, as were peared in this picture of fighting fear lessness and human frolic.
 Men beside the giant are like Llli- putians. They melt and disappear, over cliffs. through windows, down mountain sides and into water. Horses, strong and vigorous crumple up, powerful ropes are split in twain, ballustrades of castles give way and generally pronounce themselves straws under the grasp or push of this monster muscle endowed man.
 Five other acts of vaudeville and Polls special animated news reviews supplement this mammoth production on the screen. Among the star acts are Congressman Kitty comedy drama of Washington life. The Belle claire Brothers in the loop-the-loop, thrilling exhibition of nerve and strength, Elizabeth Cutty, charming viol1nist and singer of the Cutty fam fly; Hart & Clark, in comedy song and talk. and Delisle & Johnson, two girls in song and specialties.

Rsview for The Farmer-)
 T4e large audience that attended the Lyric stnight was treated to one of the best melo- dramatic productions That has been staged in Bridgeport for many seasons. when "The Other sWRfa," by Carl Mason was presented for the approval of the theatregoers of this G1ty.
 While 1t is customary to first talk about the actors when reviewing play, it would not be amiss in this 3ass to say a few words about the wondsr6ul scenery that has been painted for this particular attraction Tnough the action of the play is in only two scenes, a grander outlay of artistic ability would be hard to inn Ag7na. The effects are wonderful.
 WardA Howard has never been seen in this city. to better advantage than is shown in this weeks play. Her acting is superb
 The remainder of the cast have ample opportunity to display their 2 skistxfon1c ability and go far towards making '--The Other Wife'' play that wiu win many new friends and steady ] pa4rons for this popular house.
