PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 2s.-Far re-
moved from the fighting fronts. but
eager to play their part in defeating
despotism, thousands Of Oregon ship
builders. broad-shouldered giants. are
working day and night turning out
wooden and steel ships to carry men
and supplies to ports Of debarkation.
In the year ending July l. these
brawny-armed workers had put the
last nail and the last rivet in 134 ships,
105 OF wood. 20 of steel. The COM
bined tonnage of these ships exceeded
100000 and their value $60.00O.000.
But the task of these masters OF
wood and metal has hardly begun.
They have now under construction
1877 more vessels. OF these embryonic
craft, As are OF steel. with an aggre-
gate tonnage of 313,500 and a value
Of $49, 1865. 900.
And still these builders Of ships are
not satisfied. Two years ago their
number was but 1900; they have null
tiplied the number of workers by 10.
Two years ago they had but seven
yards; they have increased the num-
Der of yards to Is. Now they have
brought the number of ways to 1O8
But these men are not content with
seeing what other men have done and
then doubling, trebling it. They are
planning to give to the commerce of
the world something new-a creation
OF their own. made possible by the
towering timber of their state.
When Charles NJ. Schwab. director
general of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration, visited this city few
months ago, he looked upon the $500
ton wooden craft which Oregon was
more, 900 ton wooden steamer. The
attempt to create such craft had been
made in other parts of the country,
but had failed.
Mr.. Schwab saw Oregon timber, be-
held the giant Douglas frs of the Pa
cific Northwest and thought perhaps
his dream of 5.O00ton wooden steam
ers might come true.
So did the shipbuilders of the north
west. Consultations were held which
resulted in plans for the Columbia
River" type of ship. The designers
claim that such vessels will have a
third more cargo capacity than the
largest wooden steamers being built
for the government; that they can be
operated at cost which will make
them stern rivals of their steel sis
tiers; and that their success will in
sure the permanency of wooden ship
building plants in this state.
Despite his policy of STANDARDIZED
ton in ship construction, Mr.. Schwab
authorized special plans for the Go
lumbia River" type. Little change
will be required in yards before con-
struction of the big cargo carriers
can be begun. anad the builders are
confident that soon they will have

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 1O.-Brazil
is creating a democratic national
army.
Since this country aligned itself
with the enemies of German militar-
ism. the public interest in the army
and navy has grown rapidly.
The compulsory military service
act, however, was passed in 1908. It
provides that there shall be compul-
sorry military service of three years by
all men of draft age, except and
it is the exception that is creating the
democratic army. Men who have re-
ceived certain amount Of military
instructions are excepted.
The military instruction may be re-
ceived in military schools, but obvi-
ously it is not, in most cases.
Numerous Iinhas do Trio" or rifle
ranges, have been established through
out the country. Nearly 100000 men
already have been enrolled in these

Naval reserves are being trained by
the same method. This service at
tracts many young men because OF the
actual training and short sea voyages
given on naval ships.
With the growth Of the army re-
serve the public attitude toward the
regular army has undergone notice
able change. Formerly the army con-
stituted a special caste. and this
caste was always viewed with consid-
cradle suspicion Militarism was not
at all popular in republican Brazil.
But now whenever there is military
parade it is noted that a large share
of the uniformed men are those of

ceslau Braz noticed two little boys

Brazil has everything she desires ter

neighbors. Naturally she recognizes
that the United states is equally en-

Do You Suffer
From Diabetes?

Diabetes is invariably the result OF
impaired nutrition and assimilation
this results in an excess of sugar in
the blood and failure of the food to
nourish, hence a gradual wasting
away while eating well.
Symptoms of the disease are, in
creased thirst, excess of urine. ema-
citation and dry skin, often with
sweetish odor.
Notwithstanding the fact that med
zeal science admits of no definite
cure for Diabetes, Warmers Safe Dia-

gratifying results and is worthy Of
