HERO OF LONG, HARD
STRUGGLE WITH FOE
LAUDS RED CROSS

Wearing on the sleeve of his natty
uniform four sold wound stripes. Fred
Miller, brother of Charles G.. Miller,
of the Marion hotel, returned to Sa-
/ lem last evening after four years SER
vice in the Canadian army. With the
reticence that has become character
/ istic of those who fought and endur-
ed the great hardships Of the late
war; Mr. Miller modestly insisted that
/ the wounds were really nothing to
speak Of and that there was "abso-
lutely nothing of interest" TO relate
concerning his long career in the ar
my. In short phrases and rather brisk
sentences he told a few of the mea-
gre facts of the case, leaving the de-
tails to be filled out from the mag
nation.
Mr. Miller left Salem to enter the
Canadian army in 1915. II was at the
time when the British forces were sui
fering their heaviest casualties, and
recruits We're rushed overseas rapid
ly. Early in 1915 he found himself in
the midst of the struggle, and from
that time until the signing of the
armistice he was never far distant
from the front. His wounds were re-
ceiyed at the battles of the Somme,
Lens, Viny Ridge and Cambria. He
was gassed during the attack on Ar
ras.
The only instance in which Mr.. Mil
Ter waXed eloquent when discussing
his experiences was when the Red
Cross was mentioned. Boost the Red
Cross, he said. There never was a
better organization in the world. 1t
saved my life more than once, and
the lives of my friends. Say anything
good about the Red Cross YOU want
TO, and say that I said it; I'll corobor-
ate every statement you make that ex-
ats the Red Cross"

Presidents Attitude.

Washington, Oct. 2T.-The coal
strike was discussed briefly today
in the senate. Senator Thomas,
Democrat, Colorado, asked unani-
nous consent for immediate adop-
ton of his resolution, proposing a
declaration of full support of con-
gress to the administration in its
efforts to meet the situation and to
preserve law and order, but on OBJ
lection of Senator Borah, Republi-
can, Idaho, the measure went over.
President Wilson's statement on
the strike was commended by both
Senators Thomas and BOrah. but
the Idaho senator said the admin
istratiOn had announced no definite
program, adding that if it was the
purpose to use the militia to dec
innate people" he would oppose it.
Senator BOrah told the senate he
was thoroughly opposed to the at
titude Of Ebert H. Gary. chairman
of the United tSates Steel corpora
ton, and his associates in refusing
to deal with labor Senator Thorn
as also said he disapproved of Mr.
Gary's stand, but added that con-
gress should act at once to assure
the administration of full support
in dealing with the coal strike.
MOndeIl Backs Wilson Stand.
Applause from both Democrats
and Republicans greeted an an
nouncement in the house by Re
publican Leader Mondell that he
most thoroughly and most hearth
ly" endorsed President Wilson's
statement regarding the strike.
The announcement was prompted
by an inquiry of Representative
Aswell, Democrat, Louisiana.
Mr. Mondell sought to have the
presidents statement printed in
the Congressional Record, but Mr..
Aswell objected.
Director General Hines has not
disclosed except to the cabinet,
how long the transportation sys-
tenn of the country could operate
if the supply of fuel should be cut
off.

has never been shown before and
he has lifted up humanity in a way
that has never before been done.

mine the extent of American forests
both in the country and in towns
and cities may be begun as soon as
state arbor days have passed in
