TIIE -MORNING OREGONIAN. TnURSDAT, JUL,Y 22. 1015. ELKS' INVASION OF PORTLAND IS BEGUN Jolly New Jersey Party First of Home-Bound Convention Delegates to Arrive. MORE EXPECTED TODAY Lena Snyder, Adopted, bat One of Most Popular Excursionists In, Party, Will Be Made Pet . Burro of Newark Lodge. NEW JERSEY ELKS VISIT PORTLAND WITH THEIR MASCOT AND ARE ENTERTAINED BY . LOCAL LODGEMEN. If anyone in Portland had the no tion that the city development spirit Is an exclusively Western product, the idea was quickly dispelled yesterday by watching' a party or nearly 160 New Jersey Elks in action. The Easterners arried at 7 o'clock in the morning on a special train, di rect from the Los Angeles convention and the San Francisco exposition. They left at midnight for Pugret Sound a stay of 17 hours in Portland. But every hour was a busy hour de voted to the task of impressing: Port land people with the merits of New Jersey and Newark. Kcvrarlc Celebration Heralded. The whole crowd was active all day distributing: literature advertising the celebration to be held in Newark next year in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the city. Newark and vicinity were important points in Revolutionary times. The members of the party were fL Jolly, good-natured, pleasure-seeking, mirth-provoking crowd. They are on a vacation and are enjoying their trip. Illustrative of their kindly nature Is the consideration displayed to a mem ber of their party not an Elk and not directly related to an Elk. Her name is Lena Snyder and she is the most popular excursionist on the special train. But she is not from Newark. She was recruited at Colo rado Springs, where the party visited before going to Los Angeles. She is only eight weeks old, but is capable of enjoying all the attentions she gets. Back in Colorado Lena and her kind are known as Rocky Mountain ca naries, but out here in Oregon she is classified as a burro. The New Jer sey boys will take her home and then make her the adopted child of Newark lodge. ' Party Is Met by Committee. A committee of Portland Elks met the New Jersey visitors, and conveyed them . to the club, where headquarters were maintained throughout the day. The party included about 60 women and they stopped at the Oregon Hotel. Most of the visitors were taken on sicrht-seeing trips through the city. Others went out the Columbia River Highway. The party is in charge of J. F. Ander son, district passenger agent at New ark for the Lehigh Valley Railway, and a member of the Newark lodge. Other prominent Elks in the party are: "Danny" Gavin, past exalted ruler; R. P. Rooney, secretary of the Newark lodge: E. E. Mathls. of Bellvllle, N. J.; Tr. 15. S. Smith, of Lancaster, Pa., and Maurice.' Odell. past exalted ruler of the lodge at Camden, N. J.' Among the prominent women is Mrs. E. C. Mennen, whose husband was a famous talcum ' powder manufacturer and an Elk. Since his death Mrs. Mennen has con tinued the business. Invaalon First Since Convention. The presence yesterday of the New Jersey Elks marked the first organized invasion of Portland since the Elks' National convention in Los Angeles last week. Another special train will bring a party of New England Elks to Port land this morning.

The British gov ernment recently gazetted a regulation prohibiting the trading with nationals of Germany and Austria in China. Slam and Persia. Great Britain had been waiting for assurance that Japan would adopt sim ilar measures. However, the Japanese officials, after consulting Japanese business men, decided it could not join the movement, chiefly for the reason that the laws of Japan do not permit the enforcement of such a measure. '.'be government is understood to have pointed out that in effect there is no trading between Japanese and representatives of hostile countries in the Far East. Japanese merchants are believed to have opposed the British project on the ground that it would harm the business Interest of the empire.

FRENCH GAIN TRENCHES PARTIAL ADVANCE IN" VOSGES AD MITTED BY BERLIN. Bitter Ensagements, Marked by Hand-to-Hand Fighting, Characterise Re newed Effort to AdTance. . LONDON. July 21. According to both the Paris -and Berlin official reports to day, there has been artillery firing all along the western front, with a few minor infantry engagements. The French say they have made a series of determined assaults on the heights overlooking the valley of the Fecht, in the Vosges, and succeeded in capturing part of the German defenses. Of these engagements Berlin says that the French were repulsed. "In some places," records the German report, "the enemy penetrated our po sitions and had to be driven out in bit ter hand-to-hand fighting." The French, it is admitted, retain some trenches south of Reichs-Acker "kopf. Paris says a fleet of 31 aeroplanes bombarded the station of Conflans-en Jarnissy, an Important railway junc tion. Two French aeroplanes bombard ed Colmar. in Upper Alsace. Of this the German report says one civilian was killed and a woman wounded. SAN FRANCISCO. July 21. (Special.) Indignant at the statements of Rob ert C. Barton before the National Purity Congress that immorality was part of a moving picture actress' life. Charlotte Walker sent the following telegram of protest from Los Angeles today: "The statements made by Robert C. Barton before the National Purity Con gress concerning morality of the 10.000 motion picture actresses and actors in Los Angeles has Just been called to my attention.- No one but a raving fanatic would make tuch a remark deliber ately, and thereby bringing shame and humiliation on the thousands of noble women who earn their living in the motion picture profession. Attacks on Stagefolk Common. 'For a long time it has been con ceded that the quickest way to acquire publicity is to attack the stage as be ing immoral and now the lash has fallen upon the shoulders of the motion picture industry. 1 am sorry If Mr. Barton had any unfortunate experi ences and I am sure if he had con ducted his investigation among the professionals In the photo-dramatic world he would not have been called on to make such assertions. v or years the stage was held as immoral, - on account of the fact that every dissolute woman who was taken in charge by the police gave her pro fession as that of an actress.- If there are 10,000 motion picture actors and actresses in Los Angeles, it is safe' to say that 8000 of - them are employed only occasionally: . that they follow other vocations or live in idleness most of the litre, but consider themselves motion picture actors or actresses. Hard Work Demands Clear Llvea. "The cloak of immorality has been torn from the stage and It eventually will De from motion pictures, when it occomes Known that those who are sincere In their work and are regularly employed must necessarily lead the cleanest of lives. If the matter were analyzed I feel I am safe in saying that the percentage of morality i higher, or. as high, in the theatrical profession as in any other , walk of life. The fact that motion picture and stage actors and actresses are con stantly In the public eye makes more prominent the few failings that may occur. Knssia Contemplates Note Issue. LONDON. July 21.
