IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.

STEEL PUNT
WORLD BEATER
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Elbert H.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation, made a statement
here, showing the'possible output of
his company in supplies which would
be required by the government in the
case of war. The annual capacity of
the steel corporation alone in such sup
plies, he estimated roughly, as being
more than one-third greater 'in value
than of all Germany’s in the same
lines. As to whether this tremendous
capacity of the corporation could be
made available for the government’s
use, Mr. Gary said: “Anything can
be done in case of need.
mr, wary auueu mat a large part ui
the corporation’s product, as shown in
his statement, was already being used
by the government. While neither the
steel corporation, he said, nor any of
its subsidiaries manufacture arms, am
munition, submarines or other finish
ed instruments, they do manufacture
the materials and parts that are used
in their construction. Among them, he
stated, are armor plate, navy and ar
my shell forgings, forging and parts
of marine torpedoes and special steel
for rifle barrels, gun carriages, etc.
The monthly capacity of the corpora
tion in the last-named materials, he
said, is “practically unlimited.”
Other materials used for war pur
poses and made in vast quantities by
the corporation enumerated by Mr.
Gary are barbed wire and wire prod
ucts, all kinds and character of ship
plates and structural materials enter
ing into the construction of vessels,
spelter for the manufacture of brass
cartridge casings, benzol, tuluol and
sulphuric acid used in the manufacture
of powder and high explosives.
The monthly capacity of armor
plates, according to Mr. Gary, is 1,250
tons, of shell forgings 28,000 tons,
wire products 45000 tons, and plates
and srtuctural materials for ships
200.000 tons and spelter 7,000 tons.
The corporation’s output of benzol,
Mr. Gary said, is 900,000 gallons
monthly, tuluol 124,000 gallons and
sulphuric acid 12,000 tons.
The total monthly capacity of all the
corporation’s plants in pig iron is
1.450.000 tons, steel ingots 1,770,000
tons and finished steel 1,285,000 tons.
Another effort is to be made by
Portland, Or., to establish a service
to Alaskan ports, according to advices
received from the Columbia river me
tropolis today, says the Seattle Times
of February 16th. A small steamship
will be placed on the route by the Ore
gon-Alaska Steamship company, in
corporated by C. A. Burckhardt, F. O.
Burckhardt and A. L. McNary, the
vessel being the former Seattle motor
ship Kuskokwim River. She is being
converted into a steamship and will
be rechristened the Portland.
Articles of incorporation were filed
by the new company this morning in
Salem, Or. The Kuskokwim River
was purchased several weeks ago by
the Burckhardt interests from the
Westward Navigation company, of
Seattle. She was built especially for
the Seattle-Kuskokwim river trade,
but on her maiden voyage last sum
mer she lost her propeller blades and
on her second voyage her oil engines
broke down. She was then withdrawn
from service.
The Burckhardt interests own the
Alaska Pacific Fisheries, and, with
Richard M. Semmes of Seattle own
the Alaska Pacific Navigation com
pany, which is now building a motor
ship on the West Waterway. The new
vessel will be launched next Saturday.
The new steamship company plans
to enter the Portland-Alaska route in
March.

TO ENLIST FOR
LONDON, Feb. 12.—Charges that
conscientious objectors to military
service have received violent treat
ment are being believed by the army
authorities to be illfounded, and it is
declared by Brigadier-General Childs,
director of personal services of the
war office, that if there has been any
violence it has now ceased.
“Undoubtedly," he said, "in many
camps there was rough treatment to a
degree at the hands of their comrades
but it is a matter of question whether
it was actually violent, and the prob
lem before the war office was to put a
stop to it.
“I say that in the last case of al
leged illtreatment which came to the
notice of the war office was in August
1916. I can say that every kind of ill
treatment, irregularity, or brutality, if
there .was any, has ceased.'”
General Childs referred to resolu
tions which various societies of
friends (Quakers) in America had
passed in protest against the way con
scientious objectors were treated, and
in reply he showed at length that all
genuine objectors enrolled in the army
had not only enjoyed the legal protec
tion to which the soldier was entitled,
but that they had also the right to
appeal to the highest civil tribunal.
The whole problem has been one of
the most delicate with which the army
authorities have had to deal, but grad
ually they have solved some of the
most difficult phases of it. The non
combatant corps, which is composed of
men whose objection is the taking of
life, has never been so situated as re
gards the fighting front that the mem
bers of it have ever been called upon
to take the lives of others or defend
their own, said General Childs.
He referred to a statement that had
been made in a recent article, tp the
effect that 36 conscientious objectors
were taken to France and condemned
to death for disobeying orders. Cer
tain units of the non-combatant corps
were sent to France for road-making,
he said, but their work was miles
away from the front. At the time of
their departure it was not known to
the war office in London that any of
these men had gone resisting. “They
were forcibly taken to France,” but
had this been known at the war office
these objectors would have been tried
at once in England. It was not until
they had reached France and absolute
ly refused to do anything in the way
of helping with the war, that their
disobedience and insubordination was
dealt with by a field courtmartial. The
severe sentence which that court pro
posed, however, was not confirmed by
general officer commanding-in-chief
the forces in the field, who commuted
the sentence to ten years penal servi
tude. The men were thereupon sent
to England, and very shortly their
cases were taken before the central
tribunal which has to do with military
exemption. With one exception all
were transferred to the army reserve.
One man refused to work and that
man is still in prison.”
Charlie Chaplin is coining to the
Empress next week, and will appear

contract. 587

**+*■
OAKLAND, Cal., Feb. 12.—Luther
Burbank, whose plant magic has made
his name known around the world, has
just succeeded in propagating another
flower wonder. It is the largest white
dahlia ever produced. It is to be
known as Burbank’s Oakland dahlia,
being thus named because of the great
horticulturist’s kindly feeling for this
city.
Burbank offered Oakland its choice
of a new rose he has recently devel
oped, the dahlia or a magnificent glad
iolus. The Oakland Chamber of Com
merce, to which the offer was made,
selected the white dahlia.
The planting of this official flower
of Oakland will be made a fete event.
It is planned to bring Burbank to this
city on his birthday and make the day
a municipal holiday. State, city and
county officials will be on the recep
tion committee and the school children
will turn out en masse in greeting.
The dahlia is to be planted in one of
the big parks of Oakland. This detail
is not yet decided, but popular senti
ment favors the City Hall Plaza.
It was in this park that the oldest
oak in Oakland—its age was variously
estimated at from 200 to 500 years—
recently died from senility. Its place
has been taken with a sturdy young
oak from the foothills of the coast
ranee of mountains.
It is hoped to make the plaza a typi
cally Oakland park, for the Chamber
of Commerce has requested each of
the other 27 Oaklands in the United
States to send it a tree to plant beside
the central oak. Oakland, Md., al
ready has responded and the other
Oaklands are falling in line. The re
quest for oak trees followed the re
fusal of the other Oaklands to sur
render their name to this city.
After the Oakland dahlia is planted
in this oak park representatives of all
the Oaklands, each city and town of
that name, will be given a bulb of the
official flower for planting in one of
its parks.
