Senator Robert l.. Owen. who is in

that he believed President Wilson will
return TO the United States with a
peace pact, signed by the peace con-
ference, that will pass the senate by
an overwhelming vote,
Criticisms Unreasonable.
In my judgment, the criticism tina,
the Monroe doctrine is endangered
by the league is utterly unreasonable
and almost irrational. The formula,-
ed plan, in effect, extends the prinoi-
pie Of the Monroe doctrine to the
world and safe guards the Monroe
doctrine on the Western hemisphere
The Monroe doctrine does no. meai
that the United States has power ol
oveflordship over other American re-
publcs."
In speaking OF the American troops

Senator Owen said:
Il believe the boys ought TO be got

possible to get them here. ! am sure
that Just as soon as the ice melts up

WHAT WILL Be BEST
DISPOSAL OF THE RED
CROSS CANTEEN HUT?


The Canteen committee of the Red
Cross, met at the Cantcen Hut yes
terday afternoon to take up the mat
ter Of disposing Of the Hut. with the
general feeling that its days Of Use
/ fulness for serving soldiers are about
over. 1t seems to be the opinion f
the members of this committee, how
ever, and Of the pub ilgcenerally, that
the building should continue to be
used for community service Of some
nature.
At the meeting yesterday two propo.
sitions were presented. The first, Sug-
gested by Mrs Minnie B. Church was
to the effect that the hut might be
| removed to some suitable location and
used as a community house, combined
with the community kitchen idea.
Mrs. Church suggested further that
| it might be used as "A rest room for
| ladies' from over the county, when in
| Ardmore also that the kitchen equip
ment might be used for demonstration
/ canning work at times when ladies
could gather and exchange IDEAS re
garding the best methods Of canning
As a community kitchen, also, meals
would be prepared and sent out to the
sick, who were either i'm temporary
need, or in such condition owing tC
illness of entire families, that it would
be impossible for meals to be prepare
within the home. Mrs. Church also
stated that in this work a great d,dI
could be accomplished in the way oI
encouraging better sanitary conditions
and better methods Of home keeping
/ all over the county.
The second suggestion, presented 10y
DR.. r. O. Early and Emmitt Reid
was in form of request that the
| building be dedicated to the boys OF
Ardmore and used for the Boy Scout
work. Used in this manner, according
| to the suggestions. the Hut would b,
/ the general headquarters Tor the BOY
/ Scouts, containing the office Of ;ht
/ scout executive, a room where IN
! Scouts might go for study Of sperla
| subjects. Included in Jhe program
a place where the Scouts could pass
| their examinations before the crn'lai-
| tee of men who will have this m
charge, and meeting room for Tie
various committees connected with the
work.
A plea was made that 4 separate
building which the boys could fee
was their own would add Hatcriall5
to the value of the influen-e Of IN,
work and that to try to handle tho

that it was much too important a mat
ter for them to pass upon without nav

of Mrs. John Carlock, Monday after
noon at four o'clock to definitely &c

UNITED STATES TO
SELL MERCHANDISE
|NC|TY0F PORTLAND
Lease Taken on Big Building in
Which Surplus Stock Of
Meats, Groceries and Cloth
ing Will Be Sold.

Portland, Sept. 20.-Active warfare
against the high cost of living has
been inaugurated by the United States
government. The battle will begin in
Portland at the Marshall-Wells build
Ing, Fourth and Pine streets, at q.
m. Sept. 25.
Major Frank A. Tingley Of the quar-
termaster's department of the United
States army closed negotiations with
the Metzger -Parker-Ferguson COM
Of the Marshall Wells building as a
retail store in the disposition of sur
plus stocks of groceries. meats, can
ned goods and clothing.
PRICE LISTS FURNISHED.
The store will be open from a. m.
to s p. m. daily and under present
plans the sale will continue indefin-
itely. According to Major Tingley,
the government has taken every pre-
caution to make the sale real benefit
to actual consumers. To this end
goods will be sold in amounts usually
purchased for household use and no
encouragement will be given to deal
ers or hotel keepers. Price lists will
be furnished upon application at the
store.
A mail order department will be op-
Grated in connection with the govern
ment store and purchases amounting
to more than 50 may be insured at
government expense. Purchases Of
less value may be insured at the ex-
pense of the buyer. or will be shipped
at his risk If sufficient funds are not
received to defray cost Of insurance.
STORES OPEN ELSEWHERE.
No reclaimed articles will be sent
on mail orders, new goods only being
sent in this way. This rule has been
adopted to prevent possible dissatis-
faction of customers with their pur-
chases. A large stock Of both new
and reclaimed articles will be kept on
hand as long as the sale lasts. Prices
will be moderate and tended to reduce
the cost of living.
To facilitate the work of the gov
eminent in its fight on the high cost
of food and clothing, the county has
been divided into retail districts with
a store in each district under the man
agement Of g. competent sales mana
ger. Stores similar to the one located
in Portland are being opened in all the
principal cities in the country. Many
of them are now in operation and re-
suits are most satisfactory, according
to Major Tingley.
