Railroad Behind the

BY j, w, Pegler

UNITED Press staff correspondent
Headquarters of the American Army
in France, Sept. 2l.-One military rail-
road close behind the fighting lines is
being operated today by a regiment Of
American transportation engineers,
some of whom have already received
their baptism of fire from an attack
ing German a%eroplane.
L visited the Americans as they ar
rived at their new barracks. They were
welcomed by the roaring and humping
of trench guns a few kilometers distant
where an artillery duel was raging.
Aeroplanes swooped overhead, patroll-
ing the sky for the Yankees.
En- route to their positions behind
the front the American boys gazed
from car windows at evidences of real
war. They passed through shattered
towns and were much interested in the
rusting wreck of q train that had been
bombed some time before.
The soldiers told of how one Ameri-
can railroad crew was forced to take
refuge under the tender of their loco
motive a few nights ago, when a Ger
man airplane attacked. The Teuton
filler was attracted by the glare of the
engines fire box in the darh. He first

Stock Offering good

North Portland Union Stock Yards
Sept. 21.-Generally speaking the sup.
ply of stock offered in the Portland
Union Stock Yards this weeks opening
is complimentary to the producers. Some
of the cattle, especially, were as pretty
and as well bred as could be produced
in any country. The conformation and
finish of the best steers in the yard
we're almost perfect.
OATTLE--Sales opened early and
briskly on a market that was steady to
strong. In the first hour of trading the
flow of cattle started across the scales
and the first lot weighed changed hands
at 1915. Conditions are very satisfac'
tory in the cattle market, and while the
supply is improving the demand fol
quality stuff is also increasing and trad
ing is brisk at the following prices
Best beef steers $9.O0@9.75; good beet
steers. $7.5O@s.75; best beef cows, s67j

REAL, -WONDER-WoRKER
FOR WRINKLED FACES
x x X X X X x X X X 4 4 \

Those who have tried all sorts of so
called "wrinkle removers' in a vain
effort to lose those unwelcome traces
of age, illness or worry, can scarcely
find words to express their delight
with the wonderful saxolite formula,
once they have given it a trial. The
success of this method is due not alone
to its marvellous effectiveness-upon
the deepest lines and crows feet, as
well as upon the very fine ones-but
also to its surprisingly quick action
and its entire harmlessness. It's sim
plicitv and its inexpensiveness are 9TH
er commcndable features, for one need
only dissolve an ounce Of powdered
s~axolite in a half pint witch hazel; and
battle the face in this solution. Az once
a remarkable transformation is beheFd.
1t is not only the effect on wrinkles
and creases that is 500 notfceable, but
facial contour is remarkably improved
and the face looks much younger. One
should be sure to ask the druggist for
the powdered saxolite. The lotion, be-
ing so refreshing, isEpafticularly crate
full to tired faces. -H.

HOGS-The hog market seems to be
regaining consciousness and conditions
are much more satisfactory to all con

hogs of the week are mostly of a very
satisfactory quality, being either choice

SHEEP-The supply of sheep is not
sufficient to meet the demands, and pre-
sent conditions point towards a eontin-

closing of the previous week with very
prompt movements at current prices

Nothing new in the markets today.
Since the wheat proposition is practic-
ally settled and since the government
is about to regulate flour and sugar,
there will be practically no changes IN
these commodities.
Eggs seem to be wavering in price.
While everybody figured they should
make rapid advance in price on account
of the small output and high cost Of
poultry food, the price seems TO refuse
to go any higher at present. In Salem
the figure is anywhere from 3S to 30
cents with a Al cent price in Portland

Washington's Blood Rising.

Washington. Feb. 28.-Germany's
representation in complying with re-
peated American demands for the re-
lease of the YarroWdale prisoners is
bringing the controversy to a stage of
extreme gravity.
Accounted from the first perhaps
the most serious difficulty between
the two countries aside from the sub
marine issue itself, the case of the
American sailors taken to Germany
aboard the Yarrowdale, has been a
source of growing concern and indig-
nation among officials, some of whom
now are convinced that Germany's
intention is nothing more or less than
to hold the American seamen as
hostages pending decision as to peace
or war. Such an act would be re-
garded here as not only a fragrant
violation of International law and
treaty rights, but an open insult to
the dignity and good faith of the
United States. While the administra-
ton has been inclined to subordinate
all collateral issues to the paramount
principals involved in the submarine
campaign, the plight Of these seamen
has forced itself steadily forward as
one of the most important factors in
the whole German crisis.
Although no official advices report
ing the redetention of the seamen had
reached the state department last
night another inquiry regarding them
was sent through the Spanish ambas-
sador in Berlin is soon as officials saw
news dispatches saying they would
not be liberated at present because of
disease at their camp. In most quar-
terS the reDOrte0 cauSa for edeten
ton was regarded as only a pretext.
