American Navy
Prepared When
War Broke Out

Washington, April S.--The vessels
on the active list of the navy were
never better prepared for war than
when the United States Joined tbs
allies and the navy department had
full and complete plans to combat
a German offensive against the
coasts of the United States, Admiral
H. B. Wilson today told the senate
commission investigating the navy
departments conduct of the war.
Admiral Wilson asserted that from
the moment war was declared the
entire navy. the department as wen
as the fleet-entered into the prose-
cution of the war with the greatest
energy and its accomplishments de-
serve the commendation- -<of the ma
ton"
Admiral Wilson. now commander
in chief Of the Atlantic fleet, COM
manded the patrol force that FIRST
protected waters adjacent to the
United States and later, based az
Brest, France. co-opera,ed in pro-
tecting allied conveys in the war zone
and hunting U-boats.
Within four days after this country
entered the war representatives OF
the allied admiralties were in confer
lence with Secretary Daniels ami
naval officers In Washington outlin-
ing the means by which the most ef-
fective assistance could be rendered
by this country, the. witness declared.
So far as he knew, Admiral Wilson
said, every suggestion or propositions
put forward by the allied officials
was promptly agreed to and efficient
ly carried out The fact that the
greater part or the American army
was transported over 1000 miles Of
water without a life being lost
through efforts of the enemy testi-
fled to the success OF this coopera-
tion. the admiral asserted.
Mistakes the navy made during the
war were so relatively unimport-
ant that they were hardly worth
considering in comparison with It's
achievements, the witness said.

Marion's S Share
OF Multnomah's
Road Fund Large

Marion county will share in the dis
tribution of the surplus in Multnomah
county's market road fund to the ex-
tent Of SIC, ,934.00 under. the 1920 ap-
portionment of this fund authorized by
the state highway commission at a
meeting in Portland last week. This
gift to Marion county's good roads
fund on the part of Multnomah cApnty
is due to provision in the market
roads law which prohibits any county
in the state from receiving more than
ten per cent of the total state fund in
the annual distribution regardless of
amounted contributed to the fund.
Under this provision Multnomah
county which contributed $357,279.57
to the fund receives only $99.043.55 of
state money in return, the balance of
$258,2S6.02 being divided among the
other 35 counties of the state in pro-
portion to their contributions to the
fund.
The total involved in the 1920 distri-
button of this fund amounts to $780,
435.47, this representing the amount
produced by a one mill state tax. In
addition to this fund total of $780,
6S0.61 was raised by the various coun-
ties of the state under one-mill coun-
ty levy making total of $1.774,116.0S
available for market road purposes this
year.
Marion county which contributed
$41,521.29 to the state market roads
fund will receive $5S,455.99 in the
distribution of the fund, the increase
being represented in the county's par
ticipation in the Multnomah county
contribution to the fund. In addition
to this distribution Marion county pro-
duced $42,2a2.14 through one min
county levy making a total of $780,
1913 available for market road pur-
poses inthis county this year.
No state funds will be available from
this fund until June / when one-half
of the apportionment will be forward
ed to the various counties, the balance
becoming available about December l..

nation, would be affected soon.
The walkout here. which is in sym.
pathy with the unauthorized strike
which started more than week ago in
the Chicago switching district. came
with virtually no warning.
The walkout includes firemen, engi-
neers, switchmen, oilers and other rail-
road yard workers.
Freight, as well as passenger traffic,
will be tried up, they said.
While the movement as yet was said
not to include men actually on the

not pull trains with crews made up of
non-union or unsympathetic workers.
Union Power Tested.
Chicago. Apr, S.-Today viii decide
whether the railroad brotherhoods can
control their men, or whether the un-
authorized strikes sweeping railrosu
yards from Buffalo, N. Y, to Los An
geles, Cal. have so disrupted the es-
tablished unions that the leaders have
lost all control.
Railroad officials ana snion leaders
here alike agreed that today would
bring the real test of strength between
the strongly entrenched group of bro
ltherhoods and the Outlaw unions
which have sprung up under leaders
who voice their dissatisfaction at what
they declare is the failure of the bro
therhood officials to get more money
for their men.
! In the Chicago district, where the
strikes started eight days ago, the
Railroad Manager association has set
today as the last for the striking switch
men, engineer and firemen to return.
If they fail to heed the ultimatum
strikebreakers would be brought in and
