HUNTING WAS FINE
FOR This CANADIAN
In Revenge for Death Of His Broth
er. Harry Mullen Gets 80 Ger
mans in Six Days

The Germans will go some now"
is said to have been the first remark
OF Sergeant Harry Mullin, sharp
shooter extraordinary OF Princess
Patricia's Canadian light infantry,
when told of the death of his broth
er, Roy Mullin, at Courcelette. Sep
tember 15. 1915. And it was not
an idle boast. for Harry Mullin, who
Is the son OF Mr.. ana Mre. w. H.
Mullin. formerly Of Portland, but
now Of Victoria, B. c., that very
night picked on two Boches, killed
eight the next day and in the four
days following killed 20 Germans.
Sergeant Mullin was born in Port
land in 1891 and while only young
ster was taken to MoosOmin, Sas-
katchewan, by his parents. 1t was
on the plains OF Saskatchewan that
Mullin got his. training in marks
manship which has earned for him
the reputation Of having killed more
Germans than any other one man in
the Canadian army, and which has
brought him the military medal and
the Victoria Cross.
Through sheer bravery and dar-
ing, the story of which reads like a
paper-backed novel. Sergeant Mullin
took two Hun pill boxes single-hand-
ed, killing three of the occupants of
one and causing the surrender OF
10 Huns In the other. According
to an account Of the crowning
achievement Of Sergeant Mullins
career. as published in the London
Times, the Canadians were held up
by the deadly fire from two pill
boxes. Mullin was seen to crouch
down in the trench, spring over the
top. wiggle from one shell hole tc
another and gradually work toward
the nearer of the boxes.
A sniper raised up a little and
Sergeant Mullins revolver barked
One more Boche had gone to his re-
ward. Mullin then rushed the first
pill box, shot two OF the gunners
then ran at top speed for the second
pill box. Springing upon the top OF
the box Sergeant Mullin caused the
surrender Of the 10 occupants of the
post. He took revolver from one
of the prisoners, causaily placed II
in his belt and went ON shooting
Huns. Later that day bullet
crashed against the revolver, smash
ing 1t. and thus saving Sergeant
Mullins life.-Portland Telegram.

R0SEBURG SOLDIER
CONDEMNS BREST CAMP

Here are few words from an ar
ticle written by Bert Bates. OF the
Roseburg News, and printed in that
paper Mr.. Bates was In the thick
OF the fighting with the Huns, hav-
Ing fought for several weeks near
the city OF verdun:
1T seems to be the popular craze
nowadays to stand on the sidewalks
and yell 'Hurrah for our heroes as
the A. u. +. boys march down. the
streets. but We all know that the
real credit belongs to those WHO
fought and died over there'-the
boys that paid the supreme sacrifice
and now have wooden cross mark
: Ing their resting. place In France. II
Is a pitiful sight to walk over fresh
battlefield and see hundreds OF fell
lows In olive drab lying In death as
they fell In battle and one cannot
help thinking OF the mothers of these
boys as you gaze upon the most hor.
rible side OF war. They have died
that we might live and their mem.
ory should be kept sacred through
out the years to come.
THE strict rules OF the &C. .orship
guarding against the use OF profan-
ity In the columns OF newspaper
forbid us touching very deeply on
the Infamous Brest rest camp In
France. This camp Ia three miles
wide and three feet deep with soft
slushy mud. Our regiment lost
more men there than we did at the
front. The soldiers were forced to
work night and day--many of them
sick from cold and exposure and the
person or persons responsible for
the horrible conditions existing there
should be held accountable by the
people of the United States whose
sons are suffering In a pest-hole in
describable.
For the benefit OF the fair sex of
the village who have asked us In
Vulnerable questions concerning the
French girls, we will say this; The
American girl has them beat mil
lion ways and all Of us who have re-
turned and those who will soon re-
turn, can say honestly that our heart
is still intact and has suffered no
breaks caused by the affections OF a
petite mademoiselle Francaise,'"

BIG FIGHT DEVELOPS AGAINST
NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION
Union Forces Announce mo Beer,
No WOrk"-Many States Will In
woke Referendum

Opposition to the prohibition amend
ment was voiced this week by James
NJ. Beck, former assistant attorney
general of the United States, in an adj
dress at a Washington's birthday Gel
ebration.
Evolutionary changes in the repub-
lie have made certain adaptions and
amendments to the constitution neces-
sary, he said, but he argued that pub
lie sentiment must be kept alive to
the fact that it's basic laws must not
be seriously irhpinged upon.
ut is not necessary, he said, "to
sacrifice wholly the basic principles of
the constitution, especially that of
home rule, for if the principle of home
rule be very seriously impigned upon
it will inevitably lead to spirit of
civil strife and possible ultimate dis
unity"
The anti-prohibition forces thruout
the United States are planning big
fight against the ratification by con-
gress of nationwide prohibition.
Edward Hannah, president of the
New York Central Federated union,
announced that he had received tele-
grams from labor leaders in cities
thruoot the country approving the ac-
ton of nearly 100000 New York union
workers in voting strikes, effective on
July /, to enforce the mo beer-no
work" slogan, and pledging similar
action in the near future:
Some of the cities, Mr.. Hannah said,
were Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Seattle,
San Francisco, Dayton, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and Milwaukee.
California is to launch referen-
dunn movement against the national
prohibition amendment, ratified re-
Gently by its Legislature, on Saturday,
March s, it was announced here We'd
nesday by the executive committee OF
the California Grape Protective asso-
citation.
In order to place the issue on the
ballot, "a, ABB names, or 5 per cent of
the voters who cast their ballots for
governor in the November election,
will be necessary on the statewide
petition, it was announced. An effort
will be made to get $4,000 names on
the ballot in San Francisco alone.
Announcement was made that the
grape association is cooperating with
the other leading anti-prohibition in
terests of the state in launching the
petitions.

WORLD SHIPPING CONDITIONS

G. NJ. Standifer, owner of three
shipyards on the Pacific coast, and
just returned from an investigation
of the ship building situation in Eu-
rope, says:
eve will be building ships for all
the world as soon as the peace con-
ference concludes its work Cup
boards of Europe are empty. Only
completion of the peace terms is hold
ing up a wave of business development
that will exceed any thing the world
has ever seen. 1t cannot but come
true. It's shortage, shortage every
where.
"These countries have not recov-
cred from the after effects of the
war. Business is in a daZed condi-
ton, just as the people are.
"Our yards compare very favorahly
with those of Europe in every respect.
In speed we can exceed any yard on
the other side. And there is no doubt
that we can turn out ship that will
size up with any type built abroad.
"The strikes in England are now
holding up work in the shipyards.
The socialist spirit is felt among the
workers, and am not so sure that
bolshevism has not begun to spread
in the radical groups.
GAS l see the situation, now fresh
from a trip into the European coun-
tries, | would say that the first thing
for the government to do is to re-
lease the shipbuilders from control of
the shipping board.
'For the ship operator the rates
must be reduced and the seaman's act
must be rewritten. But these changes
will come in due time. What we want
right now is an opportunity to con-
duct our own businesses according to
the law of supply and demand"
