PORTLAND PEOPLE
SWAP .TRINKETS
FOR WAR STAMPS

Portland. Sept. 2t-'Swap your
old gold and. silver for War Savings
Stamps and help yourself and I'm
Gle SAM" is the slogan of the new
Government activity at the Log
Cabin in Monument Square *ester-
day With Maxwell Golburgh Of New
York, expert jeweler, in charge.
A number of Portland people
brought old trinkets into the cabin
yesterday and received anywhere
from % cents to over s. for their
valuables. Mr.. Goldburgh came
here direct from Filenes at Boston.
where he bought from $4,000 to s40,-
600 worth of gold, silver and plati-
mum.
The new industry kills two birds
with one stone. 1t helps the Gov
ernment's War Savings loan, by
boosting the sale of War stamps,
and it helps maintain United States
mredit on n gold and silver basis.
The United States with it's immense
war expenses and it's .,uge loans must
keep unmpaired if possible its gold and
silver reserve. Concessions already
have been made to the gold miners to
stimulate extraordinary efforts in pro-
ducing the precious metal Every ounce
Of gold and silver contributed by the
people IN the east, however helps just
so much to relieve the strain. The gov
ernment treasury and assay office IS in
the east and traffic congestion is much
believed if much of the precious metal
can be shipped from nearby points.
Every bit of god. silver and platinum
obtained at the war saving headquarters
is shipped by Mr. Godburgh to the fed,
eral assay Office in New York and with
in 10 days it is laid away in the vaults
bars.

Washington, Sept. 2i.-Hope is now
which for several years has caused
bloodshed in China and paralyzed the
commercial development Of that coun-
try may follow the Inauguration of the
newly elected President, Hsu Ship
Ching. October 10. From the United
China which then would arise would
come considerable addition to the mil
itary strength of the Allies in the Far
East Hsu Ship Ching, known as man
of liberal tendencies has laid down SIX
principles which will constitute his plat
form when he assumes the presidency
These have been communicated to off,
Gals in Washington, who expressed con-
efdence today in the new Presidents
ability to execute them. His program
includes: First, to bring about a con-
solidation of the present opposing fac
tons by pacific means: second, the
prompt adoption of a permanent consti-
tuition of truly republican basis; third,
the termination of all internal disturb
ances and strife; fourth. the reduction
in. military Expenditures. reorgan ization
of the army without discrimination be-
tween the north and the south. thus re-
lieving the country from the Leavy bur-
dens is has been bearing on that &C
count; fifth. promotion of the economic
welfare OF the people and sixth. deve'-
opment of Chinese trade through the
of America, England and
Japan.
s. Hsu Ship Ching is about 81 years Of
age and a civilian. He is said to be ac-
ceptable to both the military factions
which now rule north and south China
and cannot agree upon any of their own
yeaders as the proper man to restore
peace in China. He is native of Chilli
province and during the empire was a
viceroy of Manchuria. However. he
readily adapted himself to the demo-
cratic idea and during the brief repub-
licap5 administration of Yuan Ship Kali
he was premier.

NATIONAL LOTTERY
PROBABLY NEXT WEEK

Washington, Sept. 24.-The nation
al lottery which in a measure will
determine the order OF age of calling
Of the 1900 900 men between IS and
as years who registered Sept. Il prob
ably will not be held before next
week. Officials mad hoped to fix
date this week but this plan s un-
derstood to have been abandoned in
order that additional time may be
given local boards to correct any
errors made in assigning serial num-
bers to the registrants. Since men
called TO the colors. the drawing
will have less effect upon detcrmin-
ing the order of the call than that
for the nearly 100000 men who
turned 20 before last June 5. Order
numbers for all the 100000 men
will be drawn youths of IS and men
between So and As Will not be classi-
fed until the boards have given
classification to all the men between
10 and IS who are the first to re-
ceive their questionnaires. In the
meantime many Of the 19-to-36 class
will have been indicted into service.
Reports received today by Provist
Mnrsi1al General Crowder from
nearly all states indicated that salts
factory progress is being made by
local boards in attaching serial num-
5ers to the registration cards but in
one or two instances mistakes by
local boards have made necessary
the REMEMBERING of all registrants
under their jurisdiction.
One New England board before at
taching the numbers classified all
registrants by age. making sepa-
rate group OF 1S-Sear-old registrants,
a second for registrants between ~
and 81 and a third for those from "
to As years old. This was held to in
troduce a possibility of affecting I'M
fairly the order Of the call though
the intention was mereIyto facilitate
the additional work Of classification
to be done later. And orders were is
sued to renumber the entire group.
