BRITISH FLEET STEAMS
MILLION MILES IN MONTH

London. May 20.--In view Of the
reiterated German statement that
the British fleet does nothing but
lie in home water and harbors. some
interest attaches to report Of the
British admiralty which shows that
during single month recently the
British grand fleet and It's units
steamed a total OF over million
miles, while for patrol vessels
around the British coasts, the figure
was approximately six million miles.

The great drive on the American
Red National Red Cross began in
every part of Oregon today, with
the aim in view OF raising $500, 900
Of which Portland is to contribute
$250.000.
Early indications point to the en-
tire sum being contributed In the
first three days of the drive.
At the opening Of the Oregon
drive. Henry l.. Corbett, state chair
man. issued warning against any
persons who do not contribute being
branded as "slackers."
contributions to the Red Cross
are purely voluntary" said Mr.. Cor
bett. I'VE have no right, and must
not assume the right, Of branding
non-contributors as 'slackers.'
I'm this connection, am In re-
ceipt OF the following telegram from
national headquarters Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, which I would i'm
press on every worker In the Red
Cross drive" This telegram reads:
"T want again to urge upon you
very strongly the necessity for in
structing the chapters in your terri
tory that contributions to the second
war fund are to be voluntary In
every sense Of the word.
"Ardor on the part Of our work
ers which takes the form Of coer
cion cannot but hurt the Red Cross
Will you particularly caution work
ers charged with the conduct OF in
dustrial plant campaigns to see tina
employees are neither coerced or EN-
barrassed into giving?'
IT cannot make this any TOT
strong" continued Mr.. Corbett.
1--WE don't want the Red Cros
campaign associated with Strong
arm methods, cker-branding' o
similar forms OF coercion.
"T am certain everyone is anxlou
and eager to give. Let us simpl
secure these voluntary contribu
tions."

PLANT TOO FAR
FROM FURNACES

William B. Dickson. vics-president Of
the Niidvale Steel Company. has an
nounced that the plant Of the Whining
ton Steel Company, a subsidiary here,
would not resume operations. The
plant was purchased by tho Mldyale
Company some time ago, and placed in
working order with 800 men. sud
denly it ceased operations, but as eddi-
tional properties had been purchased
It was thought that the shutdown
was temporary. Nice-President Dick
son said that owing to the price being
paid by the Government FOR steel
blooms and other work and the fact
that the plant is FAR removed from the
blast furnaces it was impossible to pro-
duce steel at a paying figure.
Since the plant started operations ii
had been visited by two serious lires
and a hurricane. but the damage had
been repaired. The plant was former
ly owned by the Diamond State steel
Company.

Daniels Says War May
Put Taft in Overalls
Especial Correspondence1

NEW HAVEN, April 1s.-Josephu:
Daniels, Secretary Of the Navy, told an
audience of 5000 persons in Woolsey
Hall, Yale. tonight that "perhaps be-
fore the present war closes we shall
see ex-President Taft in overalls."
II know that he would wear them,'
said Secretary Daniels, "if he could
thereby bring victory nearer.
"The war is settling many questions
that puzzled US before it began. One
of them was, What shall We do with
our ex-Presidents? President Wilson
settled that by appointing ex-Presi-
dent Taft National Labor Commissi ion
er. Another benefit which has come
through the war is clearer under
standing between labor and the man
who employs labor. The employers Of
labor have never before been so consid-
crate of those who work for them, and
those who labor have never before
struggled SO hard to render faithful
service.
I'm the new America there will be
no place for highbrows except as CO.
workers with those who toll for their
bread. | know not what the problems
that follow the war will be, but my
answer when asked about them is: IF we
had brains and courage to meet those
of the war we shall have sufficient to
grasp those that follow it,"

as British Ambassador to France

Even before General Sir William
Robcrtson's withdrawal from the head
of the imperial staff it was generally
believed Dcrby's tenure of the War Sec
retaryship would be short. When Rob-
crtson quit because he opposed tho

greatest bid to fame was his scheme for

Be Kept at Full Strength,
Despite Sacrifices
Secret Session Is Held
Figures Given Commons Show
Number Of Fresh Forces
Allies Have Raised

OTTAWA, April Regardless OF
sacrifices, Canada must keep her fight
ing divisions on the Western front up
to full strength, Sir Robert Borden
Premier stated during secret session
of the House of Commons yesterday
An official account of the meeting was
made public here to-day.
Canada also must so organize hel
remaining human power as to main
tain, and if possible increase, agri-
cultural production, Sir Robert said
The Premier made complete survey
Of the war situation. He presented
also a communication from Mr.. Lloyd
George, sent especially for reading at
this secret session. The text of this
was not made public.
Abiding to Germany's apparent de-
termination to destroy the British
army in France, Sir Robert presented
detailed confidential information as to
the strength of fresh forces which
have been raised by Great Britain
France and Canada in order to combat
this offensive.
A German attack in full force upon
the Canadian army must be expected
the Premier said.
"When this will come, no one can
say" he added, "but in view of the
strategic value of the position of the
Canadians there can be no doubt
that they must be prepared to NEE,
any attacks launched by the enemy
and the country must be prepared to
provide the reinforcements to make
good all the losses"
After Sir Roberts statement. a dis
cussion took place, participated in by
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Sam Hughes
and Major General Mewburn, Minister
of Militia.

Soldiers Object to
Poor Vaudeville
Upton Men Displeased With
Performances at Camp
Theatre

CAMP UPTON. N. Y, April 1s.-Re-
bclling at the positive lack of quality
in the vaudeville which was billed at
the Liberty Theatre as "high Glass;" the
soldiers this evening drove one woman
performer from the stage. Their method
was laughs of derision and applause
that was deliberately misplaced. The
unfortunate actress could neither sing
nor dance. She tried both. She did
not appear to nave been kindly treated
by the passing years, either.
The troupe closed this evening, hav-
ing played the house since Monday.
On only two occasions has the Lib
erty Theatre made presentable offer
ing. This was the opening comedy and
later. Since then only vaudeville has
been offered and that of quality
not worth the price Of admission-25
and so cents.
