MISCELLANEOUS
FOR RENT

FURNISHED HOUSE FOR RENT
WITH USE OF PIANO. wanted
a furnished house of six rooms. l
could not use five and / did not
want eight. Six rooms was what
wanted, and here was an ad In
the newspaper: Furnished house
for rent with use of piano." But
how many rooms? If this house
was six rooms, then the advertise
ment lost half of its efficiency be-
cause 1t did not read "Six-room
furnished house to rent with use OF
piano" Was the house modern?
The ad did not tell 1t. II so, why
did not the ad read "Six-room mod
ern furnished house for rent with
use of piano? 1t would have been
lust as easy. Then was the house
lust furnished, or "well fur
nished"? II SO, then why not this
ad: "Well-furnished six-room
modern house with use OF piano '!
I did not have an automobile and
wanted close in. This ad did not
tell me that, so instead OF answer
dng 1t waited till l came to town.
A real estate agent got hold OF me
and rented me another house.
Later I discovered the one adver-
tised would have suited me better.
It was a "we'l-furnished, six-room'
modern house, close in, with use
of piano" Why didn't the ad say
so and get the tenant?

Portland Weekly
Market Letter

Generally speaking, the supply of
stock offered in the Portland Union
Stockyards this weeks opening Is
complimentary to the producers.
Some Of the cattle, especially, were
as pretty and as we'll bred as could
be produced in any country. The
conformation and finish of the best
steers in the yard were almost per-
feet.
Cattle-Sales opened early and
briskly on a market that was steady
to strong In the first hour Of trad
ing the flow Of cattle started across
the scales, and the first lot weighed
changed hands at 1915. Conditions
are very satisfactory in the cattle
market, and while the supply is i'm
proving the demand for quality stuff
is also increasing and trading is brisk
at the following prices: Best beef
steers SO to $9.75, good beef steers
$3.50 to 1915, best beef cows $6.75
to $3.50, ordinary to good cows "a to
S5.75, best helfers 81 to $S, bulls 81
to S6.75, calves 81 to $3.50, stocker
and feeder steers $4.O0 to $7.25.
Hogs-Tbe hog market seems to
be regainlng consciousness and con-
ditions are much more satisfactory to
all concerned than during the past
week The hogs of the week are
mostly Of very satisfactory quality,
being either choice block hogs or
well-finished prime lights and prime
heavies. The current prices are:
Prime light SITS to $17S5, prime
heavy $17.65 to $17,75, pigs s14 to
SIG, bulk $17.75.
Sheep-The supply Of sheep Is not
sufficient to meet the demands, and
present conditions point toward a
continued shortage. The weeks
opening showed prices ranging about
the same as the closing OF the previ-
Gus week, with very prompt move
ments at current prices which fol-
low: Western lambs $19 to $3.50,
valley lams $11.75 to $3.50, year.
lings $40 to $10.50, wethers s9.75
to $1O.50, ewes So to $3.50.

100000 Drafted Men
Entered Army Wed.

Marshalled for the last time as
civilians and under civil authority,
more than 100000 men of the ma
tional army went forward Wednes-
day TO the sixteen cantonments to
be trained for the battle against Ger
many. The men represent about 35
per cent of the total quota under the
first call from each of nearly 5000
local boards. Already at the camps
is the advance guard of per cent
of the total, composed of experienced
men, including cooks. Out of this
has been created skeleton organiza-
tion into which the second increment
will begin to be absorbed at once with
little confusion. When the last men
Of this increment arrive the camps
will house half of the first call forces,
or 343,500 men, and the other half
will follow as rapidly as quarters and
equipment are made ready.
Coat Supply Short.
In statement Tuesday the war
department says the enormous task
Of obtaining equipment and supplies
for the army is moving satisfactorily,
but some civilian clothing, such as
overcoats, will have to be used for
time, as the clothing industry has
not as yet caught up with its work,
{ With the mobilization of one-half
of the 6S7 900 men of the first call
under the selective service law in
progress, the question arises as to
whether that number will be suffi-
cient to fill all units of the national
guard and national army. There are
indications that deficiency in men
will be disclosed.
Seventeen Divisions of Guard.
Seventeen divisions of the national
guard have been organized, but with
the exception of the New York,
Pennsylvania and few others, and
the 42nd division which soon will
embark for France, they are not at
maximum war strength. The fight
ing strength Of the seventeen divls
ions under the new tables would be
623, 900 men, supplemented by many
thousands Of auxiliary troops. What
ever deficiencies there are will be
supplied promptly from the national
army as the guard will go first to the
front.
Aviation Corps Increased.
Since the president called the first
687, 900 men Of the national army,
the signal corps, including the avia-
tion section, has been greatly ex-
panded. Nearly 100000 additional
men must be transferred to this serv-
ice alone. The medical corps also
has been greatly increased and num-
erous necessary auxiliary units for
duty abroad, not thought
Of when the call was made, have been
Where enlisted men OF the guard |
Of regular army have been taken
their places will have to be filled
with national army men.

Submarine Toll of
British Ships Small


London, May so CS:3 m)--
Eighteen British merck of
more than 1000 tons were
ing the past week, it was Oh
announced tonight. One vessel :
less than 1000 tons and two fishing
vessels were sunk.
The losses of British shipping from
the submarine war as reported this
week total twenty-one, as compared
week. While the losses of vessels ex
ceeding 1900 tons each remain the
same as in the last previous report.
the number Of vessels of less than
1000 tons Is reduced from nine to
only one. The number of fishing
vessels sunk Is reduced from three to
two.
The announcement reads:
weekly summary:
Arrivals, ans: sailings, 2,7GS.
British merchant vessels sunk by
mines or submarines over 1900 tons,
18; under 1900 tons, /.
British merchant vessels unsuc
cessfully attacked, including one pre-
viously reported, II.
British fishing vessels sunk. g"
The report invariably includes all
mercantile tonnage known to have
been sunk by mine or submarine
whether employed by the government
or otherwise.
Summer weather and the long
days favor warfare on the subma-
rines and the admiralty is taking full
advantages of these conditions.

Russian Offensive Begins in
East Galicia but No Infor-
nation Is Given Regarding.
Results So Far.
LITTLE ACTIVITY
SHOWN IN FRANCE
Haig's Forces Confine Opera
tions to Raids and Artillery
Fire; Petain Reports Bom-
bardmentS.

The battle front from Goriyia
southward toward the head of the
Gulf of Trieste remains the only the
ater where for the moment hard
fighting is in progress. Even here,
however, the intensity which charac-
teri2ed the operations last week is
lacking.
On the front in France, where Field
Marshal Haig's forces are facing the
Germans, the operations by neither
side have arisen above minor attacks
for several days, consisting mainly OF
maneuvers by small raiding parties
and artillery duels of g, moderate de-
gree of strength. Wednesday also
passed without infantry engagements
between the French and Germans, al
though their respective guns took
part in spirited artillery duels south
of st. Quentin and in the Champagne.
Russian Offensive Begins.
The Russians and Austrians in the
eastern theater are fighting in more
lively fashion than for months. This
is particularly true in east Galicia,
where several days ago the Russians
began an offensive. As yet the Petro-
grad war office has made no com
ment on the situation as 1t now eX-
lists in this region, nor has the Aus
trian official communication given
any idea as to the extent of the hos
tilities or an intlmation of the exact
zone where the fighting Is going on.
The anticipated commencement OF
hostilities by the Russians and Ru-
manians in Rumania has not yet ma
terialized.
Between Jamiano and the head OF
the Gulf of Trieste the Italians have
again cut into the Austrian line ana
occupied positions west of the village
of Medeazza, thereby bringing their
right wing closer toward Dunno and
the railway line leading toward
Trieste The Austrian war office re-
ports the repulse of Italian attacks
near Jamiano. while a similar claim
is made by Rome for the Italians
with regard to Austrian attacks to
the north on the Julian front.
The weekly report of British ves-
sells sunk by submarines or mines
shows that eighteen vessels of ever
500 tons-the same number as re-
corded the previous week--went to
the bottom, but that only one vessel
of less than 1000 tons met with dis
aster, a decrease of eight from the
previous week.
Catastrophe Threatens Slavs.
In addition to the unsettled political
situation in Russia, the latest phase
of which is the reiteratiOn by the or
gan of the soldiers and workmen's
delegates of the policy of no indemni'
ties or territorial aggrandizement,
Russia is facing a serious economic

FRENCH SOCIALISTS
MAY GO TO STOCKHOLM

Paris, May 30 G:15 p. m)-The
government will be asked in both the
chamber of deputies and the senate
this week what the official attitude Is
toward the attendance of French dele
gates at the international socialist
conference in Stockholm and wheth-
er passports will be issued to such
delegates.
The sudden conciliation of the fac
tions Of the French socialist party on
the question of attending the Stock
holm conference, which recently was
decided in the affirmative, Is ex-
planned by we'll informed persons as
resulting from the conviction reached
by the majority previously hostile
that it would be inadvisable to leave
the Russian socialists alone with the
German delegates.
There is no indication as yet wheth-
er the French delegates will obtain
passports, but in view Of the situation
as now outlined it appears to be the
view that their presence there would
be not SO Objectionable as it was at
first regarded in some quarters.

Copenhagen, May 80 (via London.
May 81 O2;20 IA. m)--News Of the
decision of the French socialists to
participate in the conferences at
Stockholm, which was received by
the German socialist delegates upon
their arrival here last evening was
source of great satisfaction to the
German representatives. Ph l / p

leader, said:
"The decision is just what I ex-
pected. ] also expect that the Eng
lish socialists will allow themselves
to be represented at the Stockholm
conferences, l am thoroughly con-
vinced of this"
Herr Scheidemann further declar-
ed his conviction that the confer
ence would result in working ba-
sis for peace.
The Copenhagen socialist news
paper organ credits the German So
cialists with admitting the possibil-
ity of reasonable frontier regula-
tions" That is to say. some settle

lem by negotiation and with declar-
ing that the German government is,
In principle, ready to discuss this
question at "A peace conference.
