FLOUR SUBSTITUTE
PRICES NOT ADVANCED

There Is no justification for an
advance in bread prices ON the plea
that substitutes for flour are going
up in price. says the Food Admin
istration. Bakers in several cities
have threatened to raise the prices.
The administration says cornmeal
is obtainable at lower prices than
wheat -four. while corn -four, oats
and barley are offered at the same
figure or a little lower. The price
of substitutes is likely to decline
further. =.

MAKES APPEAL
FOR AMERICANS
TO ECONOMIZE
Council Of National Defense
Asks All to Curtail
Expenditures

Making an appeal to all the peo-
pie of the country to curtail their
expenditures and buy only the real
necessities of life, the Council Of
National Defense today started q
campaign OF conservation along the
lines OF simple living. as has been
adopted in England and France.
Simple clothing. fewer clothes for
men and women IL urged. Keeping
the old automobile and ending the
fad OF q new car every year to save
the thousands Of tons Of steel for
war and navy needs Is recon-
mended. Thrift Is counselled at
every turn, so the nation. will have
still greater available cash funds
to draw upon when the time comes.
For Concerted Economy.
The appeal reads:
The Council of National De-
fense and the Advisory Commits
sion to the Council believe that a
concerted effort for economy by the
peoples of the nation will not only
60 far towards paying Americas
expenses in the war, but also will
reduce consumption of raw and
manufactured materials essential
to the conduct o + the war.
The nations resources in man
power. money. transportation, food
stuffs. raw materials and fuel, have
already been subjected to heavy
strains. and It Is the clear duty Of
every citizen to guard against in
creasing this strain by a single waste
full act.
1T is most creditable for everyone
man and woman, boy and girl-to
be economical in dress. food and man
ner OF living.
This war is more than . conflict
between armies: It Is contest in
which every man, woman and child
can and should render assistance.
Thrift and economy Is not only Q
patriotic privilege. 1t is a duty"
Walter S. Clifford, director Of the
council. said the country must come
Immediately to the realization that the
slogan Of business as usual" is
fallacy. Curtailment OF Industries
will not throw anyone out OF work.

LABOR BOARD
WILL PASS ON
WIREDISPUTE
Telegraph Companies and
Operators in Hearing On
Union Question.

The final hearing In the controversy
between the organized operators and
the commercial telegraph companies
will be had before the National war
Labor Board today. Whether a strike
will be called depends upon the de-
cision of the board.
Newcomb B. Carlton, president OF
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, and Edward Reynolds. vice
president and general manager OF the
Postal Telegraph-C Gable Company, will
present the company's side of the case
to the board at today's session, which
is scheduled to begin at 10 a. m. Carl
ton last week declined to accede to
the boards request to cease discharg-
ing union men pending a decision by
the board
The companies representatives are
expected TO maintain this attitude at
the hearing. They are expected also
to argue that the demand for recog-
milton of the union is but the fore
runner Of other and more drastic de-
mands to come They will also argue
that the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union represents but a small percent
age of the operators; that the majority
of their employees are satisfied with
conditions. and that the minority
should not be allowed to govern the
majority.
"No Compromlse,7 Says Leader.
There can be no compromise" said
s. J. Konenkamp, president of the
Commercial Telegrapher's Union. last
night, following a conference OF union
leaders who arrived for the hearing.
THE right to organize must be recog-
nized. 1t was guaranteed by the Pres
ident's proclamation creating the Ma
tional War Labor Board"
Konenkamp also stated that the op-
orators would demand the reinstate-
ment OF the 100 teleg who have
been discharged in various cities for
joining the union.
Dudley Field Malone, who resigned
as collector of the port of New York
to defend the woman suffragists ar
rested for picketing the White House
grounds, will appear as counsel for
the operators at today's hearing. John
Fitzpatrick, president of the Chicago
Federation Of Labor. also Joined the
telegraphers' forces last night. Fitz-
patrick will make a statement to the
board pointing out the existing har-
mony in Chicago labor circles and what
effect a strike Of the operators would
have.
Other Union Men Present.
Among the other union leaders here
are e. F. Rice, of Seattle, representing
the Western Union employees on the
Pacific coast: A. W. Carter, of At
lanta, representing the Western Union
employees of the South, and ]. H. Nc

York, and other delegates are ex-
pected in time for the hearing today.

"DESERTERS'
TECHNICALLY,
MANY EXCUSED
Scores Of Draft Men, Ac-
cused, Found to be
War Workers.

Scores Of draft men have been err
roneously put on record at the ad-
jutant generals office as deserters.
Many of them were in the government
service and on government missions
when reports Of their cases were
made.
The grand roundup OF slackers. de-
linquents and deserters instituted by
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder last
week has revealed this condition.
Proper steps are being taken as each
such case develops. to restore the in
jured party to good standing.
Defective addresses, failure OF pos
tai officials to deliver questionnaires
and draft orders, which have been
known to lie in postoffices for weeks.

number Of deserters.

Inquiries yesterday developed the
fact that in a large number OF lit

Several cases were recalled yesterday

Court-Martial Confirmed.
The fact that German courts
martial have taken over the admin
istration OF Ukraine is confirmed in
an Official account of the explana-
ttons OF the German vice chancellor.
Won Payer. in the main committee
of the Reichstag on Saturday. This
account substantially confirms the
press accounts hitherto received al
leging that Ukrainian ministers and
members OF the council were ar
rested to break up a committee
which was planning the expulsion
Of the Germans through a "Sicilian
vespers" at which all the German
officers were to be murdered. The
ministers and members OF the
Rada. Won Payer said. had been
released. Then he added:
THE others who were arrested
are still in prison. We hope this
regrettable incident will have no
further consequences. Moreover.
the new government has accepted
the creation in Ukraine OF German
courts-martial."
The new government" alluded to
by Won Payer Is the government
which the German military leaders
subsidized and armed in order to
overthrow the Rada when that body
endeavored to preserve for its own
people some OF the scanty food
stores desired by the Germans.
MinIsters Resign.
From Berne comes confirmation
of the report that the ministers in
the Austrian cabinet supposed to
represent the subject nationalities
have resigned in protest against
Won Seydler's methods. These men
were Count sylvia Tarucaa, a Bo-
hemlan; Professor Horbachewski,
Of Ukraine. and Count Zegler, a
Jugo-Slav.
The correspondent of the Neue
Zurcher Zeitung says that Won Seyd-
Ter has burned his bridges behind him
in the violence of his attack upon the
Czech. Croats and Jugo-Slavs. This
correspondent declares the situation
Of the Won Seydler cabinet is still pre-
carious. The Slavs hate him and the
Poles are holding a very reserved
attitude toward him. He can not
even count on the support of many
Germans who remain hostile to him.
The possible resignation Of the Won
Seydler cabinet is still discussed in
Vienna, as is the formation of a
Tarucaa or Beck ministry 10 sue
ceed him. In any case the attempt Of
Won Seydler to bring about the con-
stitutional reforms without the aid of
the parliament is considered doomed
to failure by the opposition which
the dissolution decree has raised.

man socialists in Austria. 1t is pointed

ciples OF the pan-Germanists-

James Kerney, director of France american committee
Of public information, asserts that the U-boat is beaten.
This he says is due to the American navy, the depth
charge, the listening device and the hydro-ailplaues and
the tireless efforts Of the Americans which have prevented
the sinking of a ship on the French coast in three months.

FISH OF ONE, FLESH OF OTHERS

One woman employed in the public library at Portland
makes statements which the board Of directors after be-
ing lacked up by redhot public opinion decided were dis
loyal. Another woman employed in the same library says
the first woman had a right to say what she did say, and
hence she was right and the board wrong. She having
repeated the offense of the first woman is held
by the same board not to have uttered anything disloyal.
Then following this comes the librarian at the state house
and indorses the second woman saying she is a patriot
because she bought bonds and assisted in gathering books
for the soldiers and performed some other loyal acts.
Now this is practically an assertion that the first woman
was not disloyal, the reasoning being that the second
woman was declared loyal and as she had virtually re-
peated what the first one said, the first was loyal. Work
ing for the library loan, for thrift stamps subscribing for
this that and the other war measures do not necessarily
prove patriotism and loyalty, though they are prima facie
of it. Suppose a German spy should buy bonds,
or in public should advocate all kinds of war measures
while doing all he could to injure the government? A spy
might do any any or all these things and yet be an enemy.
The Portland woman with a lucrative job might do many
things and still be d~isloyal. Whether she is or not, it is
quite certain that the board of directors made fish of one
offender and flesh of another. The board members are all
OF them qualified for a position on the board of regents
at the Oregon Agricultural College, and that is about the
limit, even though the governor is one of it's members.

ANOTHER REVOLUTION BREWING

The Bolsheviki government, if it is that, has run
against a snag. Recently it ordered the great store of
munitions assembled at Vladivostok shipped to European
Russia. There can be no doubt but that the intention is
to turn them over to Germany, and hence they will not be
shipped. Japan will see to that, and the balance of the
allies will stand firmly behind her in any steps she takes to
prevent the enemy being furnished these supplies by the
Bolsheviki gang. 1t is barely possible the munitions are
wanted for use by the government, for the clouds are
gathering and another revolutionary storm is brewing.
The Bolsheviki bunch assumed charge Of affairs not be-
cause it represented the masses, or the greater portion of
them, but because it was the only organization that might
be called such, in all Russia. It was German bred and
born, or if not, it's leaders were, and they no sooner got in
power than they turned Russia over, bound and gagged,
to the kaiser. There are several small revolutionary
armies under four or five real military leaders, and it
looks as though these would in. the near future get to-
gether and raise the flag of revolt against the u%surping
Bolsheviki bunch. When this happens there will be a
general uprising according to the opinions of those
familiar with the Russian situation, and it will be strong
enough to quickly overthrow the present government even
though it is backed by German arms, for the German SOL
diers have been withdrawn from the eastern front until
the chance for a revolution winning has become much
more than even. 1t is probable the real Russian will be
again on the side of the allies soon, even though unable to
accomplish much.

NEED OF CIVIC PRIDE.
y X 4 y i 4 x * x x 4 X !

To the Editor:
1 would like to ask whether or not
the city has charge of side walks in all
parts of the city. I'm of the opinion
that if it has, then some parts of Salem
is sadly neglected in this respect. In
north Salem, / speak of the Highland
district, especially, some of the side
walks are almost impossible. The boards
are either worn out and gone entirely
or they are loose. Children passing oven
these to and from school are in danger
of bad falls and not only children but
grown people as well, as only a few
days ago / saw a man fall as a result
of stepping on a board that was loose
at one end. Not only this, but in many
the wild rose bushes have grown
over the walks so as to make it very
disagreeable in passing as well as being
unsightly-
1t seems to me property owners would
cut these bushes out, as has been done
in some places, and adding to the ap-
of the streets in general. Along
Columbia avenue for a distance of sew
eral blocks these bushes over-grow the
side walks and while we talk of beauti-
Salem proper and as this is a
direct road to the Pacific highway,
where countless persons pass daily, it
would make a vast difference if these
were improved.
