SPEED ABROAD
To have erected in 33 hours a
building of 15.000 square feet of
floor space, including a theater,
social rooms, two canteens, class
rooms, kitchen, offices and five
sleeping rooms, the whole thing be
ing what in army parlance is known
as a “hut,” is an achievement of
which the 101st Engineers, of the
26th (Yankee) division. American
expeditionary force, may well be
proud.
The “York Harbor Y. D.” hut of
the Yankee division, opened by the
Young Men’s Christian association
at Le Mans, owes its inception to
Miss Grace Thompson, of New York,
who raised a fund for the purpose
in York Harbor, Maine. Owing
to the early return of the 26th New
England division to the States, the
original plan was modified to the
extent of allowing the New England
boys to erect a hut by their own
labor.
Time was pressing, but that was a
detail which only put the eager
beneficiaries of the scheme on their
mettle. Foundations had to be
leveled, French municipal authorities
had to be dealt with for the site
and for the location of sewer, water
and electrical connections; one car
of material carrying the fioor joists
went astray and other timbers had
to be cut at a local mill. Notwith
standing all these difficulties, the
hut, which is the largest one used
by the A. E. F., was erected. New
England stone fireplace and latticed
doorways all complete, in a space of
time that made the good people of
LeMans rub their eyes in amaze
ment.
Suitably decorated for the dedi
cation ceremony, the big hut was
turned over to the 26th division
to the American embarkation center
for use of the American army on
its way home.
George W. Perkins of the Na
tional War Work council, made the
forma! presentation to the 26th,
whose commanding officer. Major
General Harry C. Hale, acknowledged
its acceptance on behalf of the
division.
Eventually, the hut wiii be handed
over to the people of the city of
LeMans, “as a token of cordial
friendship.”
GERMAN MARINES
In the opinion of American army
officers who follow day by day the
process of demobilization and read
justment of enemy forces, it ap
pears likely that General von Let
tow-Yorbeck, the German com
mander, who returned to Germany
in March from Africa, is rapidly
uniting under his command all the
loyal marine units.
Writing in the summary of in
telligence of the Third United States
army of recent date, one of the
American experts who specializes
upon the movements of all German
armed forces, says: "Such a divi
sion (marinesi may be expected to
fce one of the most powerful instru
ments of the present government—
and might even be a reactionary
power.”
Owing to the popular appreciation
of the services of the marines dur
ing the war and to the initiation
of the revolution last November
by marines, numerous marine vol
unteer units have appeared in Ger
many during the past few months
seeking to capitalize the papuiaritv.
So many of them, however, de
j veloped into robber bands composed
of men in marine uniforms who
never served in the marine service,
that of late the average German
civilian has begun to look upon any
man in a marine uniform as a prob
able thief.
During the past few weeks, the
status of the marine units "has been
clearing up and from information
gathered by the Third army officers,
it is now possible to give a genera!
idea of the marine units. In an
article in the summary of intelli
gence issued daily by the Third
army, one of the American officers
says:
“The marine units of Spartacist
or doubtful leanings may be con
sidered first. Most important of
these is the Volksmarine division,
which went over to the Spartacists
in the January and March troubles
in Berlin, but has now been sup
pressed in Berlin. However, it has
a branch in Braunschweig of clearly
j Spartacist purposes. Many who were
prominent in the dissolved unit in
Berlin are now in this unit, which
appears to be the foundation of the
present Spartacist control of Braun
schweig. At least two home guard
units of marines are known, one
at Munich and one at Frankfort on
Maine. Neither of these has been
fairly tried, but both are unques
tionably of strong Spartacist lean
ings.
“Supporting Minister of War
N'oske and the present government
are several marine units of ex
cellent morale, which appear all or
nearly all to be in the process of
uniting at the present time, under
the control of Genera! von Lettow
Vorbeck. the German commander
who returned from Africa in March.
“Most important of these is the
‘Iron Marine Brigade’ or Marine
Brigade Rohden, under Colonel von
Rohden. This was organized in Kiel,
officered exclusively by officers of
at least fifteen years' service. It
suppressed disorders early this year
in Bremen, Cuxhaven, Wilhelms
haven. and Emden, and had a large
part in the restoration of order in
Berlin, especially at Lichtenberg. in
March.”

EXPERIMENTS IN MAP
MAKING ARE MADE BY
AMERICAN ENGINEERS
PARIS.—The Twenty-ninth En
gineers of the American expedi
tionary force are conducting some
interesting experiments in map mak
ing and reproducing in the field.
With a five-ton truck as a printing
and lithographic establishment they
have succeeded in turning out 10,
000 copies of field maps an hour.
The French and British are taking
a keen interest in the American
outfit, as they have used a railway
train for such work and their best
output has been about 300 copies
an hour. Futhermore, a railway
train is limited in operation to
available trackage, while there vir
tually is no limitation to the mobil
ity of the truck.
In some operations of the war
every man in a trench raid party
was furnished with a map of the
sector involved, so the importance
of quick map making is very great.
The quick development and prompt
reproduction in quantity of air'
photographs is also a phase of these
experiments.

MAKE IKiBLE FOR
OREGON OFFICIALS
ASTORIA, Ore—Not until the
nation groes dry on June 30, and
perhaps not then, will the troubles
of the authorities of Astoria and
| other Northern Pacific ports with
i bootleggers of California be over.
’ Ever since the state of Oregon was
j captured by the prohibitionists,
trafficking in contraband liquors
!has been carried on between San
j Francisco and the Columbia river
j ports, more especially Astoria, be
j cause of the numerous natural ad
vantages afforded for the safe de
j livery of the wet goods,
j The authorities here, in their ef
i forts to run down the bootleggers.
, have searched hundreds of lumber
1 carrying steamers and schooners.
,the vessels plying regularly between
:San Francisco and Columbia river
j ports as well as the ships making
j occasional calls at these ports, their
. last previous stop having been
■some southern port. Their tireless
I efort3 have made the path of the
'carrier of contraband an anxious
‘one. and their efforts have brought
thousands of dollars into the muni
jcipal and county treasuries. But
there has been much of the contra
Iband liquor which ha3 escaped their
] vigilance.
1 One of the favorite ways 6f evad
j ing the authorities is to toss the
'contraband overboard at at desig
nated point at the mouth of the
i river, where it is picked up by the
| person in collusion with the custo
' dian from San Francisco to the Col
' umbia river port. Then it is “fish
ed" up and sold at from $15 to $25
a quart. The price delivered at
Astoria runs from $90 to $120 a
case, but that is for bonded goods.
As high a3 10 and 15 cases have
been known to be carried on one
ship and the oil tankers have proven
a terrible field for the authorities
until every one of them wa3 search
ed a3 it docked.
With the nation going dry. the
1 traffickers are devoting their at
' tentions to devising some means of
I continuing the supply, and Sheriff
i Ole Nelson of Clatsop county says
I illicit stills undoubtedly will spring
| up in the remote timbered districts
: of the lower Columbia.
HeimbergerN Cuude Laundry has
just been renovated. Has sanitary
I baths and furnishings. Shampooing
and electric drying a specialty.

JUAREZ MAY HAVE
RACING NEXT WINTER
JUAREZ.—Racing probably will
be resumed at the Juarez Jockey club
! plant near here next winter, it is
announced by the local representa
tives' of the Jockey club, Juarez,
which is owned by an American
syndicate of horsemen. The re
sumption of normal conditions in
Northern Mexico, coupled with the
fact that saloons may be operated
here, is expected to assure the re-<
opening of the Juarez track, which
has beea closed for two years. The
double attraction of racing and open
jsaloons is expected to attract crowds
, of tourists from the United States,
jthe local officials say and they are
agitating the erection of a large,
! modern tourist hotel here.
