Tonight the Red Cross country fair

expected to pay their admission fee

be worth more than the price of ad-

the music and the hilarity will con

Yesterday and today the Red Cross
did a business that more than came
up to their expectations The leaders
had every reason to believe the city
would support the fair, but were not
looking for the degree of support that
was given. The money from the vaude-

NAY FORCE
NEUTRAL NATIONS TO
SEIZE Her VESSELS
Sinking Of Their Own Fleet
May Force Them to This
for Sell Self Protection !

Washington, Mar. 23. = With the
great German drive now battering the
west front, ships again become the out
standing necessity in supporting the
battling allies.
A steady stream of food and supplies
must be kept constantly pouring into
the allied camps, officials emphatically
declare, so that the morale of the
fighters and 'populace may be main
tanned during the great strain. To cut
this line the Germans are expected to
launch determined U-boat offsensive
now.
As a result America and England are
ready to take all measures necessary
to keep up tonnage. Already sharp
cuts in importation Of Injuries have
been ordered and will follow very
soon More than two million tons Of
shipping is to be saved by these acts.
Following the seizure of Dutch ship
ping in allied ports, its was believed in.
evitable here today that soon other neu-
trails will be called upon to supply their
shipping needs by seizing German ships
in their harbors. The stand of the en-
tente in pointing out the U-boat is the
foe of the entire world, neutrals in
cluded, has paved the way to more
drastic action, diplomats here fore
cast.
Unnecessary delay in bunkering and
loading of ships will be eliminated to
get full utility out of every ton of ship
ping now being rushed. Ports must
double their present capacity to ac-
cemmodate increased shipping.
Modern machinery, dock loading
equipment, rail terminals and ware
houses will result from the proposed in
vestigation.
New Orleans is spending $4,500,0 900
enlarging docks there. Dredging will
be resorted to wherever necessary to
enable ships to dispense with slow and
expensive lighterage service by coming
up to the docks for direct loading from
warehouses.
Barges for handling oil from Mexico
will be built About 35 per cent of the
ships being built now are now oil
burners.
Free ports asked for in bill now be-
fore congress would designate zones in
which ships could unload without inter
ference from custom officials. Details
of duty payments would be attended to
after goods were in warehouses, thus
eliminating delay from this source.

CON IDENT HAIC
WILL STOP TEUTONS
FURTHER ADVANCE
Washington Calmly Continues
Preparations for Licking
der Kaiser

Washington, March 23.-A long con
tinued German offensive in the west
will have serious effect on the war
plans of the United States as well as
France and Britain. Members of the
senate military affairs committee con
veyed this impression today following
their conference with the war council.
There was no tendency, however, sen
ators said, to doubt the ability of the
British to confine the enemy to com
paratively meager and costly gains
The German operations have not devel
oped to an extent that would Justify
an admission that allied plans for the
coming summer have been badly upset.
Press dispatches telling of setback
to Haig's men near st. Quentin re-
ceived serious consideration. The mill.
tary men pointed out that a bending
back of the defensive line is almost
inevitable in the face of such concen.
trated attack as has been launched by
the Teutons. Only deep penetration of
the British lines, bringing about a wide
retirement, can have a real effect on
the conduct of the war from the allied
side.
Confidence in the ability of Field
Marshal Haig to hold the foe is not
stopping consideration of America s
plans to smash the kaiser's hopes. 1t
was limited today that the United
States could, if necessary, do more in
the way of sending fresh troops to
France.
If it is to be a battle of man power
America will put a man in allied re-
serves for every one Germany has and
perhaps more, military men here say.
Never since this country entered the
war has there been such tremendous
interest in battle as in that now rag
ing on the west front.

AMERICA TO HAVE
SIXTEEN PLANTS

Is Well On the Way Toward
Turning Out Thousands Of
Mobile Cannon

Washington, March 23.-America is
well on the way toward turning out
by the thousand mobile artillery can
non which shall rain death and ruin
over the Teuton lines.
An official summary of progress by
the ordnance bureau S gun division to-
day showed that it "has arranged for
the production of many thousand can
non and the erection and complete
equipment of sixteen plants for their
manufacture.
All these plants are "well under
way" and a number are practically
complete.
America, sadly behind in artillery at
the outbreak of the war, and slow in
developing for time thereafter, is
now doing a vast task toward supplying
this highly vital portion Of the war
material England and France prom
ised to supply artillery at first, but the
ordnance divisisions stupendous task is
designed to relieve them of this burden
by the close of the year.
Acting Chief of Staff March, until re-
Gently artillery chief abroad, is Of the
opinion that big guns are extremely
necessary from now ON, so 1t IS GER
tain he and the gun division will press
for completion of the big work already
proceeding.
The ferocity of the German artillery
fire in the latest drive undoubtedly
mainly responsible for the dent in the
British lines, furnishes ample proof to
the officials of the value of artillery.
The reorganized gun division will
soon comprise about 1900 Officers and
more than 10000 civilians as against
personnel Of three officers and seven
civilians at the start Of the war.
"Forgings are already being pro-
duced and the machinery plants are in

WHEAT STATES WANT
$3.50 PRICE TO STAND
May Result In Compromise,
If Not Fight Will Be a
Warm One

Washington, March 23. President
Wilson, together with Herbert Hoover
and the agricultural department are
preparing for a battle royal with CON
gress on the presidents wheat prices.
Following senate action in boosting
the minimum wheat price to $3.50, ad-
ministration leaders in the house today
were busy lining up followers to
strike TINS from Inc senate agricultural
bill.
Inc president is expected to make his
views OF the senate TO action clear inn

Cural committee members.
MeanCIme agricultural department ex-
perts say the eleven million farmers

cnance In history to make money. rig,
ures collected by the department show
Cnat the farmers income from the ten
leaulng staples has been increased ia
per cent over his income from the same
staples during the five year pre-war
period.
AT the same time the cost of farm
operation, these experts say, has in
creased only about rifty per cent.
During 1918 the nation s 6,500,000
farmers should clear eight per cent on
Lner investments as against four per
cent peace times profit, after deduct
ing wages and farm management costs,
it is claimed.
The additional four per cent the
farmers should make this year repre-
sents his chance to double his ordinary
profits. However, experts agree it will
take careful management to do it be-
cause operating costs will probably con-
rinue to soar.

rion to President Wilson, has been plan
ned, Chairman Lever OF the house agrl-
cultural committee Will fire the opening
gun for the administration early next
week, when he will move to take the
pill from the speakers table and send It
TO conference.
\ Representatives from the wheat grow
ing states want the $3.50 price to
stand. Led by Representative Sloan,
Nebraska, they will attempt to prevent
specific instructions to the house con-
ferees if Lever's plan to send the bill
to conference succeeds.
As an alterDative move, administra-
tion leaders viii seek to have the bill
returned to the house agricultural COM
mitTee with instructions to report to the
house on the senate price fixing
amendment. This will open the way for
a fight over wheat prices on the floor.
Administration leaders in the house
want to keep the price at 1920, as fixed
by President Wilson, or at least to fix
a price lower than the $3.50 named by
the senate. A bill fixing the price of
the 1918 crop at $2.75, introduced by
Representative Steenerson, Minnesota,
will remain in committee and The price
fixing will come on the agricultural APP
preparation bill.

MANY STATE OFFICIALS
WORKING FOR "OLD MAN"
TO HOLD THEIR FAT JOBS

vince the populace that Withycombe
should be reelected,
Schulderman is devoting most of his
time to the situation in Portland That
is his home city, where he is said to
have large acquaintanceship, partic-
ularly among the German population.
He had much to do with the governor g
campaign in Portland the last time,
and thinks he is onto all the wires that
may be pulled this time.
Joe Richardson, who until recently
was examiner in the corporation de-
partment, also was one of the most
active little politicians ON the state
payroll He sought to operate largely
through the Spanish War Veterans. But
it is said he baked when the governor
wanted him to GO down the line against
Labor Commissioner Hoff, who is a
candidate for the republican nomina-
tion for state treasurer.
The governor has no use for Hoff.
AT the last session of the legislature,
the governor was behind the bills which
were introduced to cripple Hoff's de-
partment by taking much of his work
from him or consolidating his depart
ment with that Of the industrial acci-
dent commission. Richardson is friend
of Hoff' s and he would not engage in
the fight against the labor commission
er. A few weeks ago Richardson re-
signed to accept a position with a paper
box factory in Portland.

alton commissioner who devotes much

house lobby talking politics to some
Withyeombe supporter or someone whom
he is trying to convert into a Witty
combe supporter. But his speciality is
the O. A. G. Alumni association, of
which he is an active member. He did
much to line up the association behind
the governor four years ago, and is said
to be laying careful plans to do it again
this year.
Reports coming from various mem
bers, however, indicate that some diff.
fieulty may be experienced by Meal
lister this time as there is decided
detection in the ranks of the associa-
tion.
Before he was appointed insurance
commissioner, Harvey Wells was treas
urer of the republican state committee
He has made several trips to different
parts Of the state and has tried to patch
the governor $ political fences whore he
found them in need of repair. He is
more clever than some of the others
on the state payroll in covering up his
political tracks.
With his formal announcement now
before the public, and his little machine
organization in fairly good working or
der, the governor is now ready to make
the supreme effort of his life to become
the first republican governor in the
history of the state to be elected for a
second term.

Some Inside Political Dope
Bearing On GubematOriaI
Campaign

T Docs Governor Withycombe IS formal

el". liun sound like a winner2 His an
poi1tees at the state house say it does.
Outside of that, it is difficult to find
anybody who predicts that the governor
can repeat his success of three years
ago. Many express the opinion that
Govtrnor Withycombe is nice gentle
man but that he cannot be reelected
The governor has diligently endeavor-
ed to construct a political machine that
would put him over the top" when the
time comes, and his appointees have
Travelled far and wide at state expense,
on state business of course, but giving
much time to building political fences
and sounding political sentiment.
And all the while merry little war
has been going on among the inner cir
cle, as an outgrowth of jealousies and
little tricks pulled off to win special
favor at the hand Of the chief The
activities of this little clique with the
influence they have had ON che COVER
nor, have added to TIE belief of the POO
pie of the state that the present admin
istration is swamped in petty politics.
Two of the governor 5 closest advis.
ers are Henry j. Sehulderman, corpor-
tion commissioner, and Harvey Wells,
insurance commissioner. Yet they love
one another like Yankee loves Hun.
And when George Palmer Putnam was
private secretary of the governor, this
same sort Of love was mutual among
the three. Schulderman s influence had
much to do with inducing the governor
to invite Mr.. Putnam to resign.
Both Schulderman and Wells have an
eye on the office of secretary of state,
in the event that Ben w, Olcott should
be elected governor and give the present
governor an opportunity to fill the place
by appointment. This does not increase
their mutual admiration for each other.
But all the boys are out working for
'tthe old man. ~ they refer to their
chief. This includes Schulderman, and
Wells, and Parole Officer Joe Keller,
the state fair board and Secretary Lea,
the state fish and game commission and
Game Warden Shoemaker and others in
that department, and Harvey Beckwith,
chairman Of the industrial accident com
mission, and others on the state pay
roll.
Some time ago, Carl Shoemaker, state
game warden, made an automobile tour,
at the expense of the state, of nearly all
the counties in the state and from all
along the line came reports that he was
devoting much time to sounding politi-
cal sentiment for the governor. The
fish and game department has many
wardens scattered through the state,
