I DRIVE-BEGINS MARCH I STATE CHAMBER OK COM.MKUCK , WA.XT(5 MEMBERSHIP All Loyul Residents of Oregon Will ' Bo , Solicited to Unroll Their Names on Books PORTLAND. March 10. John L. Etheridge, state chaiiuinn of the membership committee of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, has an nounced that a state-wide campaign for members for the organization will begin on Monday, March 17. ' The campaign involves one ol the most comprehensive drives ever Inaugurated In this state. Every town will have , its local chairman who will organize committees to so licit members in his community; ev ery county will have its county chairman- to supervise as far at possible the conduct of the drive. Chairman Etheridge lias arranged for a series of county conferences to be hold during the week of March 10th to 15th. It Is the expectation of the membership committee that every commercial organization, asso ciation and society In the various counties will participate in the con ferences and that the final detills for the drive In each locality' will he arranged. The county conferences will be addressed by tbe state sen ators and representatives of each county together with other represen tative citizens. -In addition a num ber of splendid speakers from vari ous sections of the state will go to as many points as possible within the five day conference period to ex plain the method of organization of the State Chamber and the plana It has for the upbuilding of Oregon. . On the 17th inst the membtrship drive will begiu. Every loyal Ore gonian will be asked to become a member of the State Chamber. It Is the ambition of the membership committee to enroll at least ten thousand irdividual members during the week of the drive. It is essen- . tial that the organization be pro vided with funds sufficient to carry on the broad work of the Chamber, the purposes of which is concisely Btated In the slogan adopted: "Ore gon for every community; every community for Oregon." Briefly stated tha Oregon State Chamber of Commerce has been or ganized to encourage the develop ment of the natural-resources of the state, and of trade ind commercial inter-course between the various sec tions1 of the state nnd contiguous territory, and with foreign countries, and to encourage co-operation be twcenithe various Chambers of Com merce,' industrial, agricultural and other organizations throughout Ore gon, and generally to increase their efficiency. . "The valuo of co-operation needs no comment," said Mr. Etheridge. "Whatever Is beneficial to one soc tion of the state Is beneficial to the state as a whole, and whatever ben efits ono eomiuunl'y is valuable to all other sections." "It Is to make Oregon tho best ' and most progressive and prosper ous state . in the nation, that the State Chamber was organized. It proposes to work unselfishly to that 'end. We can accomplish all these things nnd mary more if every cit izen will affiliate with the organl za'ion. The yearly dues for Indi viduals have been placed at a very small figure, that every man and wo man In tbe stale easily can afford to join the movement. It is a duly which we hope every citizen will recognise." - The votlnc con't-ol of the Stat" Chamber rests with the Chamber or Commerce and afflicted orcariiza tlons ojttsi'le of Portland.

In a recent letter from France Clayton Ingle enclosed, a couple of leanets wnicn appear to be (iermaa propaganda to secure prisoners from the ranlcs of the Amaririms. Clayton WTitcs that found these leaflets at Balnay, when his division viis at that filace and says: "The Germans bombed us with this dopo as well as with explosives." The. propaganda is as follows: How to Stop the War Do your part to put an end to the war! Put an end to your part of it. Stop fighting. That's the simplest way. You can do It, you soldiers, just stop fighting and the war will end of Its own accord. You are not fighting for anything. any way. What does it matter to you who owns Motx or Strassburg. You never saw those towns, nor knew the people in them, so what do you care about them. But thoro is a little town back home in little old United States you would like to see. And if If you keep on fighting here in hope of getting a look at those old German fortresses you may never see home again. The only way to stop the war Is to stop fighting. That's easy. Just quit it and slip across No Man's I.nud anil JoIq. the bunch that's tnktng It eisy there, wnlting to be exchanged and taken home. There Is no dis grace In that.

Your country needs you.

The tales thoy loll you of Uir cruelties of Germpti prison camps are fairy tales. Of ccurse you mny not like being a prisoner of war, but anything is hotter than this In fernal place, with nj hope of escape except by being wounded after which you will only bo sent back for anoth er hole In your body.
