American Red Cross, in telegram
to Portland chapter.
The urgent need for all Red Cross
chapters in the country to concentrate
all their vital energies at once In the
prosecution ot the great financial
campaign .which is now being
arranged was brought emphat
ically home to the Portland chapter
yesterday in a long, night letter re
ceived from Elliot Wadsworth. active
manager of the Red Cross movement.
After calling attention to the or
ganization of the Red Cross War Coun
cil and President Wilson's earnest ap
peal, the telegram reads:
"Not a moment must be lost In pre
paring ourselves to meet the pressing
calls from Europe and the emergen
cies which are soon to confront us
here. Every chapter should at once
mobilize and reinforce its finance com
mittee for this work, which Is of the
utmost importance and urgency.
Allies Needs Increasing;.
"Please telegraph the names of mem
bers of your finance committee to Se
ward Prosser. American Red Cross,
Washington, E. C. You will be prompt
ly and fully advised by Mr. Prosser
regarding his plans and methods the
War Council is organizing today.
"The increasing need among our al
lies for supplies that can be furnished
quickly only by purchase as reported
by Herbert Hoover, and the inevitable
development of home needs as we
approach mobilization of vast numbers
of American troops, make it clear that
to meet the unprecedented situation
the War Council must ask that each
chapter retain from the proceeds of
the Red Cross war fund campaign an
account for local needs not In excess
of 25 per cent of the total raised by it.
Many of our chapters, appreciating the
Bituatlon. will turn over the total
amount so raised to the Red Cross
war funds.
"The War Council, whenever pos
sible with advantage, will authorize ex
penditures for specified supplies by the
chapters in their own communities and
particularly for the purchase of mate
rials to be made by the chapters into
these needed articles.
' Purchases to Be Made Locally.
"The funds as raised are to be de
posited by each chapter in its local
bank in a special account to be known
as the 'Red Cross War Fund,' to be re
mitted to National headquarters as re
quired. Later the War Council will
take full account of the needs by chap
ters for local civilian relief, which
will become greater as our own troops
are mobilized.
"Please, at once. call together your
executive committee and telegraph me
assurances of their co-operation in
President Wilson's far-sighted plans
for our Red Cross."
In accordance with the above sugges
tions the local chapter has replied as
requested and has also asked that the
War Council notify Portland at the ear
liest possible moment the exact amount
of money that Portland will be called
upon to raise in this jurisdiction.
Conference Will Be Held.
Further advices to the Portland
chapter as to the plans for the Nation
wide campaign were received yester
day from H. J. Hill, of the War Coun

Says Dr. Marvin.

Soldier Boys "Game" to Remain at

Under Impression Picture
Show Was In Progress.
Here's a picture show open; lef
go in."
It was one of a big group of soldier
boys who made this remark and the
others all followed him. But, It wasn't
a motion picture that was attracting
the crowd to the Circle Theater in the
down-town district yesterday morning.
It was the regular Sunday morning
service conducted by the congregation
of the old Taylor-street Methodist
Church.
The boys In uniform entered in a
body. "Sure, we're game," said the
leader when he discovered his mistake.
Others in khaki uniform straggled in
later and the boys Joined with the big
choir and congregation in the old-
fashioned hymns and in the rousing,
patriotic song, "America."
Good Samaritan Theme.
' The Rav. M. Marvin preached
from the story of the Good Samaritan.
He urged his hearers to put personality
into whatever esrvice they gave. "The
Samaritan did something beside Inves- 1
tigate and make a survey," said Dr.
Marvin. "He gave a helping hand. Giv
ing influence and money is all right,
but giving of ourselves is far more
Important. Salvation divine or human
has Its test of value in whether or not
personality Is found in it."
Dr. Marvin rapped theologians who
are like the priest who passed the man
on the Jericho road, and offered no
aid. "They are too much priest, and
not enough man. declared the speaker.
Too many of us preachers are very
particular about forms and keeping
dates and appointments and repeating
certain platitudes, but we don't do the
kind practical things that are the test
of our faith and the exemplification
of the gospel we preach. The thing
that stings and hurts is the memory
of the times when we could have been
true Samaritans and we passed by.
"Ssryty" Not sufficient.
"We make a perfunctory survey, but
it lacks the human element, and we
pass on. We should help the fellow
who needs our helping hand. We
should say the kind word and do the
kind deed when the opportunity of
fers. And, too. we should do our part
in cleaning up the Jericho roads of
life."
Dr. Marvin prayed for the soldier
boys who are going to "clean up the
Jericho roads infested with robbers"
and for those who remain at home that
they may do their part and appreciate
the patriotism of the young men of
this country.
Mrs. Nettie Greer Taylor sang a solo
and a quartet directed by Lowell Pat-
ton contributed several selections.
BATTLES WITH SIN HARDEST

"Tt is not so much the winning of

battles with temptation that Is the
problem for the young soldiers of to
day, said Professor M. J. Fenenga.
Pacific University. Forest Grove, who
gave the sermon yesterday morning In
Atkinson Memorial Congregational
Church.
Professor Fenenga spoke of the great
value of the young people to the Na
tion and of the Importance of giving
them moral and religious training, aa
well as a liberal education to tit them
for the battles of life and the battles
with sin.
"Sociologists tell us that a person is
worth $20,000 to the state; a college
bred person should be worth $40,000.
and one that has a Christian inspiration
to carry on his life work should be
valued at $80,000." declared the
speaker.
The work of the Toung Men's Chris
tian Association in "helping the men
in the Army to keep clean and straight"
was highly commended by the pro
fessor. In the evening Professor Fenenga
gave a lecture on "The Lives of Early
Christians" and showed an interesting
series of stereopticon slides from pic
tures he had taken in Europe. A large
attendance attested to the Interest in
the speaker and the subject. Rev.
Warren Morse presided and introduced
the visiting educator, and special pa
triotic hymns wer sung.

When the woodsmen whipped saws

of the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
none could dream that troops would
camp about those mighty timbers with
in a few years.
Yet Company H and Company E, of
the Third Oregon Infantry, have set the
white streets of their tents behind the
building, have pre-empted its vast
halls for bunking accommodations, and
have placed sentries before the pictur
esque building itself, right in the en

residence districts.
Sundays bring many visitors to the
two companies encamped at the For

rivalries at "pltchln' horseshoes," with
a constant attendance of small boy
worshipers. And there Is 'the river,
waiting for fishermen, with "Its back

At the close of the service the
Knights marched out following the
cross and the United States flag, and
accompanied by their band. The con
gregation remained seated until the
honor guests had gone.
Story of Ascension Told.
Dr. Stansfleld told the story of the
ascension and of the importance at
tached to that celebration. He took
as text two statements "While he
blessed them he was parted from them,
and a cloud received him out of their
sight." Acts i:9, and words from Ten
nyson "The goal of this great world
lies beyond sight." He said, that
Knights Templary Is pre-eminently the
Christian expression of Masonry, which
was the highest "Free masonry known
tp men. Knights Templary centered in
and around the life of the Christ, the
perfectest and dlvlnest of men. the
light and the life of men." The most
perfectly human and truly divine the
world has yet known.
"Christmas. Easter and Ascension
day the birth and victory and destiny
of the Christ and all who believe in
him. are observed and honored by
Knights Templar." said Dr. Stansfleld.
Christmas, the festival of Incarnation.
the higher life; Easter the festival of
conquering power: the ascension, the
festival of faith In immortality.
In the ascension fact and truth two
sublime things are set forth: Heaven
has been opened to us: our hearts are
open to and aspire toward heaven. The
way of the Christ is the way of tne
Christian and every true Sir Knight;
so, also. Is the destiny of all who fol
low the Christ.
Knightly Virtues Extolled.
Your Knightly virtues are essen
tially Christian virtues. It Is yours to
Keeo an open way to the empty tomo

ever your personal faith in Christ and
immortality is cited, you stand with
drawn sword ready to defend it to the
last. Your sword In the hands or a
valiant Sir Knight is endowed with
excellent qualities; 'its hilt with jus
tice impartial, its blade with fortitude
undaunted, and its point with mercy

did Knights or a former age. have to
contend with the Saracen and the
Turk; yours is a Knighthood of the
20th century in a Christian land, out
you are not without opportunity for

True Knlahthood Defined.
Take your rightful place in moral
reform and Christian phllanthropny.
Dr. Stansfleld urged. "Stand as the
persistent foe of unrighteousness. Lord
Lyttleton well says: 'True Knighthood
consists in a union of power and virtue
to establish peace amongst men, when
ever ambitions, avarice or tyranny
trouble states or injure individuals.
Sir Knights are bound to employ their
sword on these occasions in order to
dethrone tyrants and put good men In
their place.' Of the millions of loyal
Americans who stand today for the

humanity, there are none more ready.

that glorious day 'when the Lord's
house shall be established in tha tops
of the mountains, when swords shall
be turned into plowshares and spears

LltitOR LAWS VIOLATED, SAYS
ANTI-SALOON LEADER.
City and Couatr Officers Charged Wltk
Waiting. Each for Other to En
force Prohibitory Laws.
"Clatsop County and the city of As
toria are the bootleggers paradise of
Oregon." declared R. P. Hutton. super
intendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
speaking at the Vernon Presbyterla'.i
Church last night.
"Former retail liquor dealers and of
ficers of the Retail Liquor Dealers' As
sociation constitute the force of of
ficers who are charged with the ap
prehension of lawless sellers, and city
and county officers each wait for the
other to enforce laws."
Mr. Hutton passed most ot last week
in Astoria and came back with sensa
tional reports of liquor law violations
there. He declared that drug stores are
selling vanilla extracts and patent
medicines with such frequency that
there can be no question of their use
for beverage purposes. The whole or
ganized bootlegging campaign at As
toria; he declared. Is operated from
San Francisco.
Mr. Hutton spoke earnestly for na
tional prohibition primarily as a war
measure, but ultimately as a national
necessity.
"This is a war of industry. Factory
is pitted against factory: machine
against machine; democratic produc
tiveness against autocratic destructive
ness." Mr. Hutton reported that a well-de
fined movement now is on foot to de
clare beverage alcohol an international
outlaw as a part of the settlement of
the present war. saying already $40,000
has been appropriated to pay the ex
penses of delegates to a conference.
Progress of the War.
WITH BuUecourt firmly in their
possession, the British troops are
giving the Germans no chance for rest
and have started another offensive
with the Idea of bringing their forces
to the north of Bullecourt in alignment
with those within the village.
Sunday saw Field Marshal Halg's
men again strike the German line hard
in this region and carry German posi
tion.' over a front of more than half
a mile between Fontalne-Les-Croisilles
and BuUecourt and hold them, not
withstanding fierce counter-attacks.
Berlin reports an offensive by the
British along a 15-mile front, extending
from the region of Achevtlle to Queant
which means that again the entire
front of the Drocourt-Queant switch
line Is being hammered.
The German Crown Prince's army
continues Ineffectually Its efforts to
crack the French line along Chemln-des-Dames.
Wherever the Germans
were able to come out of their trenches
into the open to dash toward the
French trenches they were met with
withering fire and suffered heavy
losses. Only at one place, northeast
of Cerny, did they succeed In pene
trating the French positions. At this
point advanced elements on a fronl of
about 200 yards were captured.
