Now that the Oregon troops, consist ing of Battery A. artillery, and Troop A, cavalry, are actually en route home from the border, preparations for their reception are Tapidly taking: shape. Definite date for the reception has not yet been decided upon, however, owing: to the fact that the exact time the troops will arrive is not yet known. Major W. W. Wilson, Acting- Adjutant-General, said last night that he had received no word as to the time of the arrival of the Oregon troops, but he estimated that It would require three or four days to make the. trip north, because of stops which will be required for the watering of the horses.

In a letter received in Portland. First Lieutenant C. F. Hogan. of Troop A, says: "Our experience received In the last eight months has done wonders in making practical fighting units of both the Battery and Troop, but it has meant an awful sacrifice on the part of many of the men, and we hope the city of Portland will see to it that these men find ready employment on their return. I only mention this, but I think that some organized effort should be made in seeing to It that the men who have clear records in their organizations here find work at once on their return to civil life. "It is very fine of the auxiliaries and the public to take such an interest in our return and I assure you that the work is more than appreciated." TROOPS MAKE THEIR FIRST STOP Battery Is En Route to Sacramento; Cavalry Is at Mojave. WITH THE OREGOJJ TROOPS. Mo jave, Cal..- Feb. 11. (Special.)

YACOLT BRIDGE ASSURED Joint Meeting of Commissioners Held at Woodland. WOODLAND, Wash.. Feb. 11. (Spe cial.) The streets of Woodland pre sented an active appearance today, due to the meeting of the Cowlitz County Pomona Grange, and the joint meeting of the County Commissioners of Cow litz and Clarke counties, to consider matters in which both counties are in terested. The two main objects under consid eration by the Commissioners were a bridge across the north fork of the Lewis River, connecting the Upper Lewis River country in what is known as the Yale vicinity with the northern part of Clarke County, making the dis tance from that part of Cowlitz County to the railroad at Yacolt about 10 miles nearer than to Woodland. The Commissioners decided to build a wooden suspension bridge at a cost of about $14,000, to be paid Jointly by the two counties. In the matter of the lnter-county ferry at Pekin landing below Wood land, it was found that there is no au thority vested in the Commissioners to build such a ferry.

O'Hjan, the Eminent Portrait Painter, of Portland. To Be Sold In Baltimore Under the Auspices of the French. Ambassador. BIOIIPLEAK Rev. Herbert Spencer Johnson Preaches at White Temple. DAY'S PLEDGES ARE $1460 PICTURE IKES HIT Work of Portland Artist Will Aid Wounded French. ' AMBASSADOR IS PATRON Slasterpiece Depicting Motherhood Encouraging: Sons to Fight for Freedom Is by Lillie O'Ryan With Maryland Allen Model. A painting that has created a stir in Washington, D. C, and .which was produced quietly in Portland within the past few months, representing the work of two Portland women eager to contribute something for the relief of the wounded French soldiers in Eu rope's battlefields, is going to Balti more under the patronage of M. Jus serand, the French Ambassador, to be sold at the great bazaar of the allies in that city. Lillie V. O'Ryan painted the picture and Maryland Allen, who is prominent as a magazine writer, posed for it. For several years Lillie V. O'Ryan had planned to paint a great picture of the spirit of France, not the hack neyed spirituelle ideal of France, but the vision of the gallant mother of the republic calling her sons to the bat tle for freedom. . Mrs. Allen had been zealously in terested in the progress of the arms of the allies abroad, and was eager to contribute something to the cause for which they were fighting. She has be come god-mother to one of the sol diers in the trenches but that is an other story. Model for MaHterplece Noted. To make the story brief, Mrs. Allen was at the studio of Miss O'Ryan one day posing for a portrait. She hap pened to put on a red bathing cap, and the artist promptly recognized the model for the great painting that she had planned so long to produce. So these two women of genius in two different lines of art promptly agreed to Join hands in the production of the masterpiece and to have it sold and all the funds received from It turned over for the benefit of the wounded soldiers on the French bat tlefields. There were weary weeks of posing and sketching and toil for both, and then "la mere de la Republique" emerged glorious as a goddess of bat tle from the charmed canvas. "Am Armes Cltoyens" Is the title that has been given to the painting. Black and white give but a faint conception of the power of the produc tion. In the flame of the tri-color it is a veritable battle-cry; the indom itable soul of the mothers of France not the white-handed, soft-voiced flower-like ladles of romance, but the mothers of- the men who have risen from the soil as Jason's armies rose from the sown dragon's teeth, clamor ous in arms. Local Offers Received Back of the fierce woman figure one can fancy the background peopling it self with the rush of fighting men. rising in answer to the call to arms and realizing the high end to which the Mother of Freedom is urging them. When'the weeks of toil were ended, and the mother of the Republic stood, vital and challenging, on the canvas; when there was not another touch to be made, E. T. Allen, husband of Mary land Allen, took the picture to Wash ington with him as he went to attend a convention there. This was not be cause it could not have been disposed of at home, for even while it was still a sketch numerous offers ranging about $1000 were made. It was de cided advisable. however, to take it to the larger art markets, for Mrs. Allen and Miss O'Ryan were eager that their work should realize as much as possible for the wounded soldiers. Exhibited in Washington, the plc- Lture caught interest at once. ine r rencn Am oaRsaaor urgea unai ly that the picture be sent to the bazaar at Baltimore and exhibited in a special booth and afterward auc tioned or raffled off, declaring that he believed it would bring a great sum in that way. Mr. Allen communicated with Miss O'Ryan, who consented to have the picture disposed of in that way. Congregation Alms to Clear Off All Debts and Be Able to Pay Traveling Expenses of New Pastor From Asherllle. A stirring sermon, urging men and women to givo more for missions and to do more for their fellow men was preached yesterday morning in the White Temple by the Rev. Herbert Spencer Johnson, of Boston. "Sham religion" and "thin religion" and religion that is acquired from sel fish motives came in for a share of Dr. Johnson's condemnation. "Many people come to Christ when they are frightened about tne conse quences of the next world. They ac cAnt thA firmrA nf God to avoid hell." said the speaker. "They seek Christ in as selfish a motive as they seek a door mat when their feet are muddy. If you get religion because of some personal fear or selfish reason, you care nothing for humanity. How then can you be expected to worry about missions or anyone except yourself?" Sham la Denounced. t "God Almighty can't save you, under those circumstances," said Dr. John son," by reason of the very psychology of your own soul. God stands at the door and knocks. The grace of God can't get heaven into you if you won't let it." Dr. Johnson spoke of "Sham-town" and eham churches that exist in many parts of the country, where high sounding phrases were passed for the eal living of the religion proiessea. Fine satire, oratory and earnest ap peal for practical religion made up the address which was followed immedi ately by an appeal from A. L. Veazie representing the finance committee. who asked for volunteer offerings to make up the church deficit and an ad ditional sum needed, amounting in ail to J2000. All Debts to Be Paid. H. W. Stone, assisted Mr. Veazie and n a short time the sum of $1460 was promised. It is the aim of the com mittee to clear the deficit of J900, clear up all accounts and have sufficient to pay the traveling expenses, of the new pastor. Dr. Calvin Waller, and family from Asheville, N. C. It is also the determination of the committee to have no deficit on hand when the pas tor arrives.- Dr. Johnson gave the first J50 to ward the offering yesterday. He will be one of the principal speakers at the decennial dinner to be given on Wednesday night in the First Metho dist Church in connection with the Laymen's Missionary movement con ference. Dr. Johnson will also speak at the mass meeting to be held on Thursday night in the White Temple. He is a former Oregonian and one of the most popular men of the Baptist denomination. . times," said Rev. R. H. Sawyer in the first of a series of sermoas on "The Power and Presence of Almighty God in the World of Today." at the East Side Christian church. Mr. Sawyer lamented the many con flicting religions of the day and said, "The time is not far distant when men and women will put away their strange gods, cease to walk in the pleasing paths of false philosophies and seduc tive theories and turn again to the liv ing God of their fathers, who dwells amongst them daily." He took for his text the words of the Apostle Paul. "That they seek the Lord if happily they might feel after him and find him, though he be not far from every one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being." That the nearness of God was not merely a theory but a fact, was as serted by Rev. Mr. Sawyer, who also spoke of America as the "embodiment and vehicle of a Divine, purpose to emancipate and enlighten the human race. "We are trustees of the world's prog ress, guardians of Its righteous peace. President Wilson Is the central figure in the world today. He has demanded a halt in the desolation of nations. "God is in America and in America's mission to the world. Let our people awaken to this divine truth and the peace of the, world will come, for to proclaim peace 'he hath sent his chosen into the World.'

It may be only a card; it may bj a box of candy, some flowers or a book, and if the occasion and con ditions warrant, it may be a diamond and platinum ring, but Valentine's day must not be passed by without some recognition.

And so on Wednesday morning we may expect to see the postmen laden with cupid and heart-bedecKed cards, and- dainty en velopes, and tne deliverymen and mes sengers will be flying around ringing the door bells and leaving gray boxes of sweets and lovely baskets of Spring posies.

MOTHERS' RIGHTS ADVOCATED Rev. E. H. Pence Declares Wo Are Backward in Civilization. 'Our civilization is no better than the crude sort of David's time until we place the sacred rights of mother hood at the top and fore in determin ing how we ehall manage our govern ments and promote our policies," said Rev. Edward H. Pence, in his sermon yesterday . morning at Westminster Presbyterian Churcn. ivir. renco saiu that in all the ages men had made the laws regardless of women, and that the real heroes and martyrs of war had in reality been women and mothers. The right of motherhood to revolt at a man-managed civilization a grounded In the contribution of woa and anguish which woman nas paia. said Rev. Mr. Pence, "fehe knows ner children must die: she puts her life in Jeopardy that they may have life: but after she has poured out ner oa- votlons she has the right to ask for civilization which shall cherish that uDon which ehe has devoted all tn refinements or ner love, ner capacity for iov and sorrow, that it might be worth cherishing ana saving from ruthless destruction. "Rlzpah, the martyr mother, cared nothing for the political machinations nor for the diplomacies which entailed her in Its train of woes; she had no voice in them: she had not been con sidered in their processee. We may stamp the civilization of David's day as worse than crude for many reasons. Its lack of consideration tor woman was not the least of these reasons. "Even now. we. like David, pause to pay our reverent homage to what the war has cost motnernooa. we erect nosthumous monuments to the sons of mothers, but our civilization is no bet ter than David's until we shall place the sacred rights of motherhood at the top and fore in determining now we shall manage our governments and promote our poiiciee, .national ana international. "HizDah today would stifle her grief. Good form requires that she shall not narade her woe in the public fashion of that lonely broken-hearted ancient mother. "Motherhood has not changed, and Its impulses to jo and throw itself on the grave of its sacred dead and there pray for death are as strong today as then." gpeaking of present war conditions in Europe, Rev. Mr. Pence said: "A forest of monuments will riae over Europe after peace shall come. Better far, if the real heroism shall be com memorated and the real lesson Intended by monuments be taught to -erect at every crossroad and on every public square a bronze of Rizpah made martyr by the folly and sin of man, because a mother." RELIGIOUS UXITY PREDICTED "The Terror," Redfeatber Feature of Movie Offering, Shown Jack MuLhall aa Bad Gunman. "Brilliant" Is the best word to de scribe the vaudeville half of the new bill which opened at the Strand Thea ter yesterday. Nobody's hands got cold from the beginning to the end Of the performance, and every act, it appeared, could have gone on responding to en cores indefinitely if the wishes of the crowd could have been followed im plicitly. Wilson and Grey, two dainty and clever girls, made an exceptional hit wiui their singing and instrumental of fering. Especially well received was their medley of the favorite popular songs of a score of years ago. "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley," "Climbin" Up the Golden Stairs" and half a dozen otners or tne same period stirred a reminiscent chord in the hearts of the audience, and their appreciation was tremendous. Link and Leslie are a dapper couple of eccentric dancers, as clever in their comedy patter as they are in their dancing. "Nut stuff" is the slang term to apply, and it is something that seems to get on the good side of every vaudeville fan. The Cloverleaf Four presented a harmonious repertory, and the vaude ville bill, which is essentially emphatic on the musical features this week, closed with Mendel and Caesar, a pair of characteristic strolling musicians. Mendel and Caesar have picked the two most popular instruments known to vaudeville the violin and accordion. and they play them with a nonchalant artistry that Is inimitable. Their pro gramme consisted chiefly of popular music of the latest raggety type, and a few sparkling solos to pound out the offering. "The Terror" Is the Redfeather fea ture which fills the movie half of the diiu jacK jviuinau features in It In a new role for him that of a savage New York "gunman." The story of the film, is how the gunman is won by the lovevof a little Salvation Army girl and eventually "turns straight." CROWDS ARE EXPECTED VANCOUVER PLANS FOR BIG FOR BRIDGE OPENING.
