OREGON IN LINE
TO Be FIRST OVER
United War Work Campaign is Get
ting Under Way and Moving
With Rush.

Over the state the United War
Work Campaign is getting under way
and moving with a rush, and there is
every prospect that the full quota
will be met, in fact, over-subscribed,
and that this will be accomplished in
record time. Chairman Clark of the
Morrow County Committee received
the following telegram today:
Five counties over the top-Hood
River, Union, Deschutes, Wasco and
Crook. Total of State to date s421,-
900. Please make special effort to
make large report Thursday. Oregon
has chance to be first state over top.
ORLANDO w. DAVIDSON,
State Director"
Every district in Morrow county
reports that by the 18th they will be
away over their quota and at this
time it Is encouraging to note that
many people are not only oversub-
scribing their assessments, but many
are doubling up, which is evidence Of
the fine spirit in which the work is
being met.
We are led to ask, have you laid
aside your United War Work mail?
This may be the last opportunity you
will have TO show the boys that you
are backing them to the finish, and
then some.
Until peace terms are made and ac-
cepted and "the boys" are mustered
out and return to their civilian occu
pations they will need the watchful
care and attention of these several
organizations. Just at this particular
time in the history Of the war these
attentions will be required more than
ever. Morrow county will not forget
their boys. Watch how the United
War Work will be oversubscribed.
Delayed mails and the Flu" are
responsible for "No Report" from the
other districts.

THE FOOD QUESTION.

The coming of peace calls for the
most careful conservation of food
stuffs. Do not think that the food
supply will be increased at once.
Crops can not be raised in Europe
until next year, and thousands of
acres can not be put into cultivation
for two or three years. The demands
upon America will be enormous. So
continue the Hoover program with
out any relaxation of effort.

County Food Administrator.

REPORTS
 MUT|NY OF GERMANS
Troops Said to Have Refused to Move to West FrOnt-They Entrench Themselves and De- feat Loyal Forces.

Petrograd, Feb. 12.-German sol diers at Grodno and Kovno, according to report received here from Mos COW, have refused to obey a command to move to the French front. The troops have entrenched themselves under the protection of their own ar tillery and have defeated detach- ment of loyal forces which the Ger man staff sent to punish them.
 The foregoing dispatch may be an echo of an earlier report of a mutiny of German soldiers on the Russian front. The Russian wireless news service sent out message Jan. to the effect that 25,OO0 German soldiers in the region east of Kovno had re- volted in consequence of the German governments drafting of all soldiers below the age of 35 for service on the western front. German deserters were quoted as saying the men re- belled, marched out of the battle line and entrenched themselves with rifles and machine guns against other Ger man units.
 The German military authorities were said to have been powerless against the mutineers and were en- deavoring to cut off their food sup plies. One of the motives for the re- volt, according to the German de- serters. was that the sending of troops to the western front was con- travention of the Russo German arm istice agreement.

AMERICANS TOO FOXY
 FOR A GERMAN TRAP
They Had Passed First Wire When Electricity Was Turned On-Waited Until Current Cut Off, and Then Escaped.

With the American Army in France, Feb. 17-An American patrol having passed the first line of German en- tanglements and approached the sec ond line last night was suddenly cut off by current of electricity along the first wire line.
 Instead of attempting an immedi- ate return to their trenches, which would have meant certain death from electrocution or machine gun fire, the Americans clung close to the earth and later, when the electricity was cut off, returned in safety to their positions.
 It was a thrilling experience for the patrol A certain number of men set out from the American position in the hope of encountering a number of enemy at point in the German trenches. They had succeeded in getting through the first line and had crawled on until the second line was reached. When they were just about to start under the second line there was bluish glow and, turning around, they saw long, livid sparks playing through the barbed wire of the first line. The enemy had turned on a powerful electric current.
 The patrolIers quickly fattened out on the ground, thinking they had been discovered and expecting to hear momentarily machine gun bullets go singing overhead. Nothing of the kind happened, however. Apparently the Germans merely turned on the current by chance, hoping that if any Americans were within the entangle- ments they would be killed on the wire and while trying to get out.
 The patrol returned safely to the American lines when the electricity was cut off.

TvO KILLED WHEN
 NJ. s IS WRECKED
rrcineer James Winn of Little Rock and Unidentified Negro Dead-Open Switch Was the Cause of the Wreck.

uone. Feb. 17.-Death was racing with No. 6 tonight when it came north at the rate of 45 miles an hour and ran into an open switch at Guern- sov,s water tank, five miles south of Hone at 6:30 o'clock. The engine and Ave cars were thrown from the track, Fno;neer James Vim died at his post, m unidentified negro was cut to pieces and Fireman George Lowell was in- iured. Several of the passengers were bruised and cut by flying glass.
 The engine, two vegetable cars, ex- press car, mail car and baggage car were thrown 75 feet away from the rails. The engine was telescoped by vegetable car and Engineer Winn was pinned beneath heavy timbers and badly crushed. But he retained consciousness, in spite of his suffering, and talked to the men who were try ing to rescue him, advising them how to reach him. Just as the last ob- struction was removed he gasped, Boys, cant stand it any longer" and collapsed in death.
 Engineer Vim tild his rescuers that he had applied the emergency brakes and remained at his post when he saw the danger. His body was sent to Little Rock last night.
 General Superintendent J. W. Dean ordered physicians in automobiles out from Hope when he learned of the wreck, and sent relief trains from Texarkana and Little Rock. He went down on the train from Little Rock himself and took charge of the situa- tion. The wreck will be cleared by noon tomorrow. Trains will be de- toured from Hope over the l.. and A. to Texarkana
 It is presumed that the negro who was killed was riding thet blind bag gage. A letter was found on him from his wife in Memphis, urging him to come home.
 Engineer Vim was one of the old est employees of the Missouri Pacific Tn point Of service, having been with the company for 30 years. He was born in Ireland May 24, 1868, but emigrated to this country at an early age and settled with his parents in Michigan. About 30 years ago he came to Little Rock and was living at 200 North Ringo street at the time

WILSON REFUSES TO
 SEE STRIKERS SH|EF
Tells Carpenters They Should Abide by Ship Board Decision President Says They Give Aid and Comfort to Enemy.

Washington, Feb. 17.-President Wilson took hold of the ship building strike today with an iron hand. He sent a telegram to the general presi- dent of the carpenters and ioiners in New York, ordering the men to return to work forthwith.
 His message breathed no pleasure. It told the men bluntly that it was their duty in the nations crisis to further the ship building program and not obstruct it. Refusal on their part to leave their differences to arbitra- tion was undoubtedly giving aid and comfort to the enemy"
 The president said that he can see nothing to be gained by conferring with him personally about the strike of ship yard carpenters until he has accepted and acted upon the principle that in the present circumstances of the nation no body of men has the right to strike until every other method of adjustment has been tried to the limit.
 His telegram was to William l.. Hutcheson, general president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, and read:
 "I have received your telegram of yesterday and am very glad to note the expression of your desire as a patriotic citizen to assist in carrying on the work by which we are trying to save America and men everywhere who work and are free
 Taking advantage of that assur- ance, l feel it to be my duty to call your attention to the fact that the strike of the carpenters in the ship yards is in marked and painful con- trast to the action of labor in other trades and places.
 Ships are absolutely necessary for the winning of this war.
 Nc one can strike a deadlier blow at the safety Of the nation and of it's forces on the ether side than by inter- fering with or obstructing the ship building program.
 "All the other unions engaged in this indispensable work have agreed to abide by the decisions of the ship building wage adjustment board. That board has dealt fairly and liberally with all who have resorted to it.
 "I must say to you very frankly that it is your duty to leave to the board the solution of your present difficulties with your employers and to advise the men whom you repre- sent to return at once to work pend- ing the decision.
 Woodrow Wilson"

CAPITAL AND LABOR
 WILL GET TOGETHER
Name Representatives to Torn, Basis of Relations-F'iminate Dlsaffection- Opr csc Labor C0nscriptiOn.

Washington, Feb. 18.-Capital and labor have .leard the five representa- tives each was asked by the govern rcc-t to appoint to outline a basis of relations for the period of the war. First sessions of their deliberations probably will be held next week. after each side has named one other man to represent the public, making a board of 12.
 Announcement of the names of the men, who were chosen by the Ma tional Council for Industrial Safety and the American Federation of La- bor, is being withheld until the ac- ceptances of several of those asked to serve have been received. The depart ment of labor, which suggested that a general policy be outlined in an effort to eliminate friction at time when all energy should be centered on the successful prosecution of the war. Is endeavoring to expedite constitution of the board in the hope that unrest would be allayed.
 Stories of large profits and exorbi- tant salaries in war contracts have caused an undercurrent of dissatis- faction in the nations industrial life, which officials regard with uneasiness. Allegations of disloyalty made against workers by some employers have added to the bad feeling. Depart mental officials say many of the charges were unfounded, that the large turnover of workers at certain shipyards has been due largely to inn possible living conditions. A widely circulated story of 150 rivets being the limit of work or less than half the former amount, the officials point out, failed to mention that inefficient management has left the men at some places without tools or compressed air to drive more than that number.
 Fundamentals of the labor question hours, wages, conditions and meth ods of settling grievances-will be dis cussed by the new board in the hope of reaching an understanding in a gen eral way, which can be applied specif- cally to the varying conditions in all parts of the country Especially will the board endeavor to forestall inter ruptions of production by working out some method for adjusting grievances before they reach the strike stage.
 Unofficial suggestions for conscrip- tion of labor have not found response in government circles, according to we'll informed officials. The power of the government to compel a man to work for the national safety, just as much as to compel another under the draft law to fight for the country, is conceded, provided always that the enforced work is for the government l and not for private capital The be- 1 lief is expressed in official quarters that the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, prohibiting involun- tary servitude would protect man against labor under duress for com pany deriving profit from the mans l labor, but not against work in a gov ernment factory. where the result 1 made for the public good and the na- tional safety.
 "It is unthinkable," Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, said to- day. that a man should be forced to work for the private gain of any | other person."

HUNS SHIFT BATTLE
BACK TO VERDUN
FRENCH PENETRATE STRONG
SYSTEM OF GERMAN TRENCHES
AND TAKE PRISONERS.
Troops Under Direct Orders Of Ger
man Crown Prince Show Nervous
ness Under Fire and Call for
Reinforcements.

On the French Front-The center of
military interest during the last few
days has passed from the Champagne
to the vicinity of Verdun, where both
the French and the Germans have
broken into marked activity,
In the Verdun region the correspond
ent watched the execution " two
trench raids on a large scale carried
out by the French on Saturday eve
ming and at dawn on Sunday, the re-
suits Of which exceeded all eXpecta-
tons. Within twelve hours the French
had penetrated the remarkably strong
systems of German trenches in both
Cheppy wood and MalancOurt wood to
depth at some points Of more than
quarter of mile. They destroyed all
the enemy works, his blockhouses and
shelters, which had taken the Germans
three years to construct, and brought
back two groups of prisoners, each
comprising eighty men, while the
French themselves suffered only the
slightest losses.
General Won Gallwitz's army, acting
under the direct orders of the German
crown prince, displayed evident nerv-
BUSINESS under this pressure, as was
shown by the hurried arrival of large
reserves in motor lorries. They We're
too late, however, to hinder the French.
The Cheppy wood operation was the
easier of the two, owing to the fact
that it was daylight and within five
minutes after the assault groups had
left the parapets, groups of prisoners
could be seen running toward the
French lines. Everything was carried
out on time schedule, and when the
French returned to their lines they
had secured about eighty prisoners.
On the other side of the Meuse the
Germans took the initiative in the
course of the day Sunday at canon
eux, Bezonvaux and Caurieres wood,
executing raids which cost them dearly
in casualties and achieved only small
results.
A number of American infantry of
ficers, attached for instructions to
French units, were in the raids upon
Cheppy and Malancourt woods.
