At Red Cross membership campaign headquarters, where the scanty re turns of the big- annual drive are I causing leaders and field workers to puzzle over Portland's apathy, they are wondering- just how brief the memory of America is, when the peril is past and security has been won through sacrifice and death. fieturns comofled last nie-ht show that !Portland has supplied only $20,000 to date, though approximately oOOO ia due from assured sources. The city's quota is 1120,000. A year ago," commented H. E. Withman. chapter campaign chair man, "America stood at the threshold of peace. She had given her sons un stintedly, fane had poured her sav ings into the coffer of war. There was no sacrifice too great but that we were willing to make it. And the cause of the Red Cross was near to our hearts, because the scarlet em blem meant that some Portland boy. wounded and spent in France, would be comforted and healed and sent I back to his home. Today the plea of the same organization falls on deaf cars. It is unthinkable." Veterans' Families Suffrr. Into Red Cross headquarters every day come ex-soldiers who are without Jobs, who are destitute and whose families are destitute. The funds raised by the membership drive, with 120,000 quota in Portland, were counted upon to lend these men aid until their conditions bettered. With the drive slackening, with public re sponse largely in the negative, offi cials of the Red Cross are worried about the future. "Not a cent the war is over!" Campaigners who have trudged miles through the rain, visiting hun dreds of doors, report that this is the response they meet with, in a ma jority of instances. They say that doors are closed in their faces when the nature of their mission is made known. Laret Gifts Now Needed. It was because of this extremltv. and for no other reason, that the cam paign plans were changed. It had been believed that the membership quota could be raised by voluntary $1 contributions. With defeat drawing near the committee determined to open the gates to generosity and to solicit not only $1 memberships, but the larger sums that can be offorded by business enterprises and men of means. The "flying squadron," a campaign organization which is entrusted with the solicitation of larger sums for the membership drive, will take its course through the downtown district today the anniversary of the armi stice. Leading the squadron is Rob ert H. Strong, chairman, with Mrs. Alice Benson Beach and John F. Daly as members of the executive com mitee. The entire student body of Reed college, volunteers who realize the urgency of the call, will arrive at Liberty temple at 11 o'clock this morning, offering their services for active solicitation during the re mainder of the day. One hundred Canadian veterans will solicit for Red Cross memberships to day when the military and civic pa rade gathers its crowds in the down town district. Overseas nurses, donning again the official Red Cross uniform, the same that meant so much to wounded lads from home, have mustered to the number of 137 and will join the can vassing forces of the drive today. And a squadron of returned soldiers, 250 strong, under the leadership of Captain Tom Sweeney, promoted to a colonelcy in the campaign, will aid In the work of soliciting. Ferdinand E. Reed, who holds the rank of general in the membership forces, will lead the Red Cross can teen girls and their canteen band, at the conclusion of the parade, through the city in quest of unattached mem bership dollars. In the local campaign field the fol lowing firms have turned in 100 per cent reports and are displaying 100 cent membership banners: Blumauer Frank Drug company, Managhan Grocery company, Harris Ice Machine company. Commercial Iron works, Ben Selling, Oregon Life Insurance Company, Pioneer Paint company, Montgomery Ward & Co., Multnomah county courthouse. Capital Xotes. SALEM, Or., Nov. 10. (Special.)

SEIZED AXD DRIVER TOLD TO "BEAT IT." Portland Man Tells of Forced A1I Night Drive to Centralia With Outlaw Quintet. CENTRALIA, Wash., Nov. 10. (Spe cial.) After driving all night, Lee Potter, who drives a for-hire car for J. E. Pomeroy of Portland, was given his breakfast in a restaurant here and told to "beat It" and not tell the po lice, by five men who hired his car in Portland Sunday night for a drive to Columbia Beach, they said. The men took the machine, a seven- passenger one, and disappeared. The sheriff of Lewis county and sheriffs of other counties in this part of the state are looking for the car and its occupants. One of the men took charge of the car at Columbia beach and drove it until it was stuck in the mud. There they turned it over to Potter, after using his robes to put under the wheels to get it started again. They were stuck in the mud several times on the way up here, arriving about b:J0 Monday morning. Speaking of his experiences. Potter said the men told him they were go ng to kill him but apparently changed their minds. They told him they had 'pulled about 20 Jobs" in Portland Saturday night: that they had beaten up two policemen and had taken their guns away from them. That they are hardened criminals there is no doubt in Potter's mind. They also said that as "tomorrow is a holiday, it will be a good time to pull a job up here." Potter was forced to promise that he would not "squeal" before he was permitted to leave the car. Woman's Body Found. MARTINEZ, Cal., Nov. 10.
