War Of The Roses’ While there will be no Rose Fes tival, yet there will be as stirring a battle of the "Whites’’ and “Reds” as the Yorks and Lancasters ever knew. ' It will be a bitter, cold and merciless ■»truggle for existence. The plum to be awarded will be leading Red Cross honors in the Second War Fund of the American Red Cross. Following a suggestion by Robert H. Strong, the teams in the "City Center Campaign” will be divided into division* — the “White*” and the ‘Reds.” The “Reds” will wear red roses and the "Whites” white roses. City Chairman Wilbur E. Coman is already facing the problem of "Red” leaden, trying to use business affili ations to induce “White" captains, lieutenants, sergeants, corporals and privates to desert color and vice versa. The novel idea of reproducing the medieval war of the Roses in twen tieth century Portland has created immense enthusiasm among Red Cross leaden. IENTS BOY. Co.

By SAMUEL GOMPERS The Red Cross is an emblem typifying human mercy and sympathy. Its mission to relieve phys ical pain and minister to mind and body has given it a place deep in the hearts of all our people. For those whose dear ones are in places of great danger it is a comfort to know that the American Red Cross is per forming more effective service on a larger scale than ever before. In addition to serving our enlisted forces, it is assisting in the work of civil relief among our allies whose soil is being devastated by the fighting. Thus the Red Cross is helping to interpret the constructive spirit of our Republic which holds sacred human life and the ideals it seeks. As time goes on the scope of the work of the Red Cross in Europe will increase in order that the organization may meet the demands that will be made upon it It must receive the full and hearty support of the American people. It is only through such an agency that we can be assured relief and necessary ministration to our young men forming our military force. It is my sincere desire that adequate funds will be secured for the work of the Red Cross. ————- — - ■———-*rf**t— EARLY LENTS RESIDENT DIES munity at different times, being a former owner of the corner where Thursday morning, May 9th, Nor the real estate office of Wiley & Allen man Draper was found dead on the is now located, and a store on the floor of his home on 86th St An carline later occupied by Frank Miley. examination resulted in the verdict .

Ausman, employment and industrial manager of the Grant Smith- Porter Ship Co. of Portland, has just sent an appeal to the registrar's office at the Univenity for worken for the summer, and plans to visit the Uni venity in a short time for the pur pose of obtaining fint Ijand informa tion as to the prospects for workmen and to ask for cooperation. Mr. Ausman outlines some of the advantages of the Grant Smith-Por ter yards in the following way: Eight of the ways are roofed over; there are recreation buildings, modern san itation, live athletic committees and teams, splendid transportation facili ties, rooming placer, cooperation be- tween departments and specially- trained foremen. "Will some active students vohm- teer their services this summer,” asked Mr. Ausman, “and they will have just as much enthusiasm as though they were digging a trench in France 7 The work is just as im portant” Mr. Ausman will visit the campus some time in the near future. exceeds the supply, is is said at headquarters.
