Some Interesting News Concerning Several WeII-knoWn Shippers

I'm feeling glorious"


 So reports Capt. John A. O'Brien, Nestor of Seattle's Boring Sea route, in a postcard from distant port to Secretary w. T. Isted, of the Ship masters Association, says the Seat tie Times As commander of the United States Shipping Boards $500 ton steel steamship Westerly, built by the Ames plant, Capt. O'Brien is doing his bit for Uncle Sam. His hair is iron gray and his face is ruddy from the winds and suns of many years on the heaving deep, but he still has the nerves of steel that long ago placed him among the her oes of the North Pacific.
 Joy at being able to serve Uncle Sam in the great war is written in every word of the postcard message which was received today.
 Passed Fred Warner at sea, " says Capt. OBrien, referring to an other iron man of Seattle's North Pacific fleets Capt. Warner is mas ter of the $500 ton steamship West Point, launched for the Shipping Board by the Duthie plant.
 McMulIen Heard From
 A letter from Capt. c. B. McMul- len, master of the steel steamship Westchester, built for the Shipping Board in Portland, also was receiv- ed at the headquarters of the Ship masters Association today. McMul- len for years commanded the "big little" steamship Dora on the West ward run from Seward, the most northerly winter mail route in the world After that experience, the prospect of war zone waters holds no terrors for him. He was sailing from Portland when he wrote, bound for the port of Somewhere" He reports that Capt. Ames, another old time Alaskan master, is steaming down the coast in command of the steamship Westlake, built for the Shipping Board by the Skinner & Eddy plant. The Westlake put into Portland and went to sea one day ahead of the Westchester.
 This gave the Portland waterfront a chance to bet on which vessel will reach the Panama Canal first Capt. McMullen reports that "con' siderable cash" has been wagered.
 Our Alaska masters have respond ed nobly to the country's call" said Isted this morning With Seattle built ships and Seattle masters ar irving constantly in their ports, the people over there are going to be impressed with our brand of patriot ism in Elliott Bay"

MILITARY DONTS AND WHY'S FOR WOMEN.

Don't spread the falsehood that this is a rich mans war. It is be- ing fought for the welfare of the poor Of the whole world. Rich men and their sons are making sac rifices of life, wealth, and comfort in due proportion to their number. Activities that tend to destroy dis credit or discourage honest wealth attack the prosperity of the entire nation and cripple it's power, Gi- gantic industries make this Nation gigantic. and give it taxpaying, money-spending, money-lending pow CTS equal to armies of soldiers.
 Don't rail against conscription. It is the fairest, squarest. most democratic method ever devised. It was forced on the country by the terrific man power of the enemy based on a conscription policy in force for generations.
