Vice-President Marshall.
Philadelphia Telegraph.

Frequently the office of vice-presi- dent is mentioned as a political grave. Those who are once committed to it's sepulchral cavity are supposed to re- main buried forever.
 Every day we hear of the great things that are being done by the president and MT. McAdoo and MT. Baker and MT. Daniels. Likewise MT. Hoover and MT. House come in for a share of the country's plaudits and occasionally a senator and even @ representative manages to skid across the popular screen. But what of Vice President Marshall?
 Not @ word. Never an encore. And yet Meredith Nicholson, who halls from the same great state. says he is the most charming gentleman and one of the best raconteurs in the land. Somehow, it doesn't seem fair

 It's historical but true: "Heave back" cried the Bosun's Mate. "NoW match" The round shot flew high and far-and landed clean on the knees of the enemy's First Mate. His legs came off. In astonishment, or some such rhetorical emotion, he threw up his arms, Now match" had just been said again. And the second round shot nipped his arms.
 Whereupon, it is narrated, the ships surgeon being otherwise en- gagged, the resourceful guns crew simply bound the leg and arm stumps end to end. Blood coursed freely at first; but none was lost. For what surgeon can lash as well as the sailor, be it 1igature or limb? Sadly though, the tale goes, the stumps grew to- gether And after healing the poor wretch was such a horrible ring round the-rosy sort of creature that he died of a broken heart.
 So that now the first-aid's chiefest maxim is, Stop the blood, cover it and quit" At least that's the way I've heard it given.
 Great stress is laid on the danger of trying to cleanse the wound. In lection comes so much easier from hands than from red hot bullets or shrapnel fragments. Indeed in the majority of eases the entering piece of steel cauterizes the flesh as it goes

A FALSE ALARM

Senator Chamberlain is very much wrought Up over the 'fineffiicency' of Ehe War Department He is de- Aermined to show the mistakes to the world, mistakes that any man with Hh knowledge of human nature knew would happen, and knew it as long lh go as April 6, 1917, the day war was a1ecfared.
 Tn an address before Congress, #peech that consumed two and half #nours, the Oregonian yesterday de- #ivered his trade against the Admin \ Sstration. Stung by a personal re- #ouke from the President of the United #Etates, the Senator from the western Nstate showed all the seamy side of Inc cloth he could expose. In doing
 so he naturally drew a one-sided pie ure. For the War Department and he Administration, even if it could < be done, would not dare to expose all x ha secret operations that must neces-
 karilv take place in campaign gainst Germany.
 @ 1t is the contention of Senator
 Chamberlain and his political packers x hat the War Departments military
 snachine has broken down, that it has lmost stopped functioning." Ask # ng the reason why he answered in N bis New York address, which was the X Sause of all this trouble, that it was x Because of the inefficiency in every x bureau and ip every department of x he government of the United States"
 uch a sweeping statement as that K must be false on it's very face.

The Sherman Law.
(New York Tim eS)

Mir. Roosevelt mislnstructed the League of Political Education when he told it that the government had violated the Sherman law by com bining the railways. That act is jus titied by it's nature, being in the pub lie interest. It would be so even if there were no war, If the railroads had combined themselves, promoted public interests, and increased trade by methods not imm oral, it would have embarrassed the court to penal ize them under the rule of reason. The United Mine Workers also are nisinstructed by their leaders. The time vii never come when the court will allow unions to act contrary to public interest by offenses against good conscience. It is necessary to say this because the United Mine Workers and some other unions seem to think that because the Sherman law allows them to com bine, it allows the "con bine" to do whatever it wishes under the plea that it benefits wage earners The export combina- tions are not chartered to do wrong full acts. contrary to public interest They afford no basis for the argu- ment of the unionists.

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY

dropped on the ground or deck, the chance of germ poisoning after appli- cation is very small. Once on it must remain untouched. Every man has had his training in tourniquet work, and knows well that hemorrhages re- quire no disturbing of the wounded area.
 There are extenuating circum- stances in a naval action that tend to obscure these rules. Turret crews and magazine men are coOped up in their steel fortress. A well placed shot cannot destroy the turret; yet it may maim a dozen men. Guns are not out of action by the casualties. It is simply case of plain first-aid; then double up and continue the fire.
 But the wounded maybe must lie and suffer. If the enemy has the range steel splinters are thicker about the decks than flies over a Lab rador camp. A man out there couldn't live ten seconds. In France it's mud or dirt the explosive shell disgorges when it detonates Aboard ship it's deadly spew is mostly splinters, a million of them, and each one worth of life.

WRESTLING BOUT

Greek and Russian Mat Men 10 Stage
Clever Exhibition in This City
Tonight.

Tonight at the Arion hall on Twcntt-
eth and Man streets, the first wrestling
bout Of the winter will be staged be-
! tween two big mat men who are popular
in other cities but not very well known

cerncd. Wrestling is very popular
sport among the many fans and whether
or not the bout will be well attended to-
light can only be determined AS 10 how
the people have their minds made UP.
During the past few years the local
sporting element has been badly fooled
and not properly treated. many fake
bouts being staged and the fans were
actually robbed out Of their money.
PluShtff. the Russian Lion, has been
residing in this city for several years
and was seen on the mat here several
times before. He is fairly good nj the
game and with his weight should make
Il favorable impress ion. He put u1
clean bout in his last match and il is
10 be hoped that this one will be along
similar lincs.
George Nascll is popular Greek and
considered n champion in his class. He
outweiEhS PluSheff and in order to
make up for this handicap has agreed
TO throw the Russian Lion three times
III one hour. This will be 4 pretty hard
stunt to d.. As Plushetf is pretty betty
on his feet.
Should the bout be staged on fair and
square lines. future events may become
fixture. The success will be deter
mined ny the crowo and the opinion
