Miller Returns From Washington Confident Firm Will Land Big Order. Negotiations are now under way for the placing of a government order for 10,000 freight cars with Twohy Bros, of Portland. This is the portion of an order for 100,000 new cars being divided among manufacturers in various parts of the country. R. B.

Miller of the Twohy Bros, company, who recently returned from Washington, ia confident that at least 10,000 cars will be ordered from the Portland concern. The cars are of the composite type, with trucks and platform of steel and upper works of wood. The building of 100.000 cars of this type will require large quantities of lumber, and Mr. Miller says the prospects are good for the use of Oregon fir in the construction, not only of the Twohy order, but of the cars manufactured in other plants. While in Washington Mr.

Miller pressed the claim of Twohy Bros, for government aid in the construction of a railroad from Grants Pass to Crescent City. The road has been completed from Grants Pass to Walters creek, a distance of 15 miles, and It is the desire to extend the line as far as Waldo, 0 miles farther, at once. The completion of the line to Waldo would open up what is claimed to be the largest undeveloped copper field In the United States, besides large deposits of chrome, manganese and gold. The claim of Twohy Bros, for government aid is based on the importance of increasing the production of these metals as a war measure. An appropriation, of $500,000,000 recently authorized by congress for new railroad construction may be used only for Improvements recognized as necessary to the prosecution of the war.

Decision on the Grants Pass-Waldo line is still pending, says Mr. Miller. Huns Insist Russia Shall Stand by Pact Amsterdam. March 25. (U.

The premier's announcement that the German prisoner situation was not regarded sufficiently serious to warrant Intervention squared with the American view, as expressed to Japan recently.

St. Paul, March 25.

(U. "While our boys in France are battling desperately to stop the German drive on Paris, the loyal farmers of the northwest are preparing to launch a great spring offensive of their own," A. C. Townley, president of the National Non-partisan league, said Saturday night. "I refer to the spring planting wheat," Townley added.

"The world's wheat reserves are almost exhausted. Wheat today te as important as munitions in winning the war. Even a partial crop failure may prove very disastrous to this' nation, and our allies. We will be grossly negligent fail to seed a single acre that is capable of producing wheat or other cereals.

We will do all in our power. The president and the people may depend upon us. We will back up our boys in Europe by raising larger crops I it is humanly possible, "The only thing that will Interfere with a greatly Increased acreage Is the financial inability of some farmers to buy seed for planting and feed for their animals. This condition cannot be remedied by fixing a higher price on wheat. It is too late for that and, anyway, the patriotic farmers never asked a higher price on wheat.

All they ever asked and all they ask now is that other prices be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the price of wheat. Lift Financial Burden Is Plea "What is needed and it is impera tively needed is constructive legislation giving financial aid to the farmers. Congressman Baer's farm aid bill now pending in congress, will supply this aid in part. This bill should be passed at once. Longer delay may prove very costly.

"The farmers will do everything pos sible, but it is not fair to let all the burden rest upon our shoulders. We are entitled to financial aid to put In crops where repeated failures have left the farmers Impoverished, and the gov ernment should promptly provide for using a larger proportion of bran and shorts in our flour. A considerable saving can be effected in this way.

In the Verdun offensive the Germans gained six miles in the first few hours. Yet the French won at Verdun.

I hear much said of the 30,000 prisoners already taken in this offensive. Yet all must remember that this offensive is much larger than the Verdun offensive and that the German success is not proportionately so great as at Verdun. And the larger the action, the greater the loss of prisoners. Even if in the next few days, we see what appears to be an alarming advance we should not lose confidence. In this campaign I will point out that before the Marne, when I was in Belgium, we kept hearing of a 20 miles a day advance toward Paris which looked like practice march.

We now know that the French were permitting them to come on toward Paris only to turn them back at the Marne. This movement now would appear to me to be a maneuver to get the German out in the open where they want him. He is good on machinery, but when the machinery breaks down or goes wrong he fails. The Frenchman has genius. Open fighting gives an opportunity for geniua and originality.
