PATRIOTIC COUNCIL
TO BE
ORGANIZED
State-Wide Movement for Re
lief of Dependents of Sol
diers Is Launched.-
RESPONSIBLE HEAD IS AIM
T. A. K.f Chamber of Commerce and
Other Bodies Co-operate in Re
lief Work Committee on
Organization Xamed.
While definite plans were being ef
fected yesterday for the organization
of a Patriotic Council to head the state
wide movement for the relief of depend
ents of soldiers who have been called
to the front, the Daughters of the
American Revolution, who already had
launched their work, made a substan
tial beginning at their headquarters at
616 Journal building.
Pledges and cash amounting to J160
already have come in and there are In
dications of larger contributions soon.
One man wrote pledging to donate $100
a. month to the fund, provided another
citizen of Portland will do the same.
Meanwhile a, meeting of the joint
committee composed of representatives
from the D. A. R.. Chamber of Com
merce and other organizations of the
city was held at the Chamber of Com
merce and arrangements made for the
organization of the Patriotic Council
of Oregon, which will act as the head
of the movement for the entire state.
Abases Already Are Noted.
It was pointed out that there is Im
mediate need of organization and co
ordination of the various elements at
work, and to forestall abuses that may
arise. It was reported that unauthor
ized solicitors have been at work al
ready, and have been soliciting funds
ostensibly for the relief of soldiers'
families.
The purpose is to get a central body
which will be sufficiently responsible
and whose indorsement will serve as
a. protection for the public against the
activity of unauthorized solicitors.
C. F. Berg. E. I. Thompson and Mrs.
C. S. Jackson were appointed on a com
mittee to draw up plans for permanent
organization of the Patriotic Council.
They will meet probably today and
draw up their plans and will call a
meeting of the general joint commit
tee at once to ratify them, so that the
organization may be perfected and
made operative without delay.
Members of the joint committee pres
ent at the meeting yesterday were:
Nelson G. Pike, Colonel H. C. Cabell,
W. C. Alvord. Lee M. Clark. George E.
Hall, G. F. Peek. Mrs. J. B. Mont
gomery. Mrs. C. S. Jackson and Mrs.
Isaac Lee Patterson.
Battery A Ball Indorsed.
The committee indorsed the plan of
the veterans of Battery A to hold a
benefit ball on July 10. and will assist
in the sale of the tickets and the
advertisement of the ball. The funds
from the ball will be turned into the
relief fund.
The MacDowell Club, through Mrs.
Thomas Burke, has offered to give a
beennt concert for the relief fund pro
vided the sale of the tickets will be
taken up by the Daughters of the
American Revolution.
The making of kits and comfort bags
for the soldiers has gone on rapidly in
the past two days. At the sewing party
at the home of Mrs. J. V. Beach Mon
day 70 women participated, and 1000
comfort kits were made. Various other
sewing parties are to be held, and all
who are interested are urged to call
Mrs. Beach at Main 4611 for full in
formation. The meetings are open to
all women who are interested, whether
they are members of the D. A. R. or not.

BRIDGE LOSS IS MEAR $1500
Concrete Walls of Oregon Approach
Are Damaged.
Further undermining of a section of
the fill and concrete work of the ap
proach to the interstate bridge on the
Columbia River Slough yesterday
threatened the complete destruction of
the sand embankments, covered with
four-inch concrete, on the north and
south sides of the Slough. The damage
may reach $1500.
The approach is not threatened by
he wuhiog away of this section of the
fill, for the concrete abutments and two
heavy piers of the Slough crossing are
not the least injured. About 1000
yards of sand and earth have been
washed away at this point. The bot
tom of the cement covers of the fill
here had not yet been protected by
rocks as planned, and the flood waters
found it an easy matter to undermine
them.
The damaged work slopes up against
the abutments on which, the span
across the slough is to be placed. It
is probably 120 feet wide at the base
of the filL Both walls will have to be
replaced.
Engineer Cortelyou reported yester
day that the damage would be repaired
as soon as the high water recedes. At
present it would be impossible to repair
the work, which was the product of
the Tacoma Dredging Company.
The high water is not hindering the
work on the Interstate bridge, it is as
serted, the construction work going
ahead steadily. The piers have been
in place since April 30 and this is the
only part of the work that would have
been seriously interfered with by the
flood waters. It is hoped that the re-

CAMP WITHTCOMBE. Clackamas.
Or., June 27. (Special.) With the de
parture of the Third Infantry for the
border, Oregon probably will be called
on for more troops. This was indicated
in a telegram received tonight By Cap
tain Kenneth P. Williams, Federal
mustering officer from the War
Department. The telegram reads as
follows:
"You will without further orders In
spect for recognition any additional
units which are presented by the states
as part of their quota, assigned in
the plan for local divisions, circular 19,
War Department, Division of Military
Affairs, 1914.
"Results of inspection should be com
municated to War Department for rec
ognition before mustering in."
Oregon's full quota of troops is un
derstood to include another regiment
of infantry.
Apparently it is the intention of the
War Department to accept at once ad
ditional troop units within the quota
provided by law.

Intervention as Revenge Opposed, but
Approved If on Grounds De Facto
Government Haa Failed.
EL PASO. Tex.. June 27. David Starr
Jordan, delegated by the American
Union Against Militarism to attempt to
maintain peace between the United
States and Mexico, left tonight for Al
buquerque, N. M., to which place he
announced the peace conference had
been transferred. Before leaving he
reiterated his statement that his organ
ization was not against the principle of
intervention, but expressed the hope
that should intervention come it will
not be through motives of revenge for
the murder of American citizens. ,
'I believe intervention by the United
States in Mexico is coming," he said.
"I don't see how it may be averted, but
I hope that it will be on the humani
tarian ground that the acts of the de
facto government have demonstrated
that it is not a responsible government."'

JET the sobriquet of Deputy District

District Attorney's office, because of
the numerous young men who look
up to him as their guardian. He has
become the official guardian of 19
young men enlisted In the Army or
Navy of the United States.
Fatherless boys under the age of 21
must have the consent of a guardian
to enlist, and here is where Deputy
Pierce comes in. He is officially ap
pointed by the County Court
That Multnomah County is for pre
paredness is shown by the cheerful
willingness of the County Commission
ers to advance the filing fees of 98.50
for boys desiring to join the colors.
Letters from numbers who have en
listed, telling of their early military
experiences, are received often by Mr.
Pierce, who refers to the boys affec
tionately as "my family." Of course,
he is a fatherland the head of a real
family, but that is neither here nor
there.
The boys for whom Mr. Pierce has
been named guardian are Harold L.

MOST flexible of all Tires !
Least Traction-Wave resistance!
Most Resilience !
There are only TWO LAYERS of Cords in ANY
SIZE of Silvertown Tire.
This, as against 5 to 7 layers in all Fabric Tires,
and all Thread (so-called "Cord") Tires.
It is Friction and Heat, (between layers) that
WEARS OUT Tires internally.
Therefore, when you reduce that Friction and
Heat to but ONE Friction-Centre (between 2 layers
only) instead of FOUR to SIX Friction-Centres
(between 6 to 7 layers) you reduce these Tire
destroying influences to about ONE-FOURTH, or
ONE-SIXTH.
THIS TWO -LAYER feature is feasible,
however, in NO OTHER Tires than those
of the strongly - patented SILVERTOWN
Cord construction, in which each single Cord is
STOUT enough, and STRONG enough, to lift a Man's
weight.
Because.
No other Tire construction would "stand up"
under the tremendous strains of Load and Speed,
with LESS than the usual 5 to 7 layers of Fabric, or
Thread.
The extreme RESILIENCE, and FLEXIBILITY,
which results from the use of TWO LAYERS of giant
CORDS only, gives you, in Silvertown Tires;
30 further "Coasting" capacity!
25 more Mileage, per Gallon of Gasolene!
17 more Speed, from same Car.
50 more Comfort, in riding.
as actual Test will prove.
Silver-towns are easily, and inexpensively, re
paired. 'Made in Straight-side, as well as "Clincher."
And, no other Tires, of any kind, average
"LARGER."
