TEAMS ARE" ORGANIZING TV. K. Ayer, Chairman, Reports That Prominent Professional Men Also WIH Ievote All Their Time to Raising Funds. A remarUable demonstration of public-spirited self-sacrifice has been man ifested In the immediate response of prominent Portland citizens to the call of the Red Cross. Evidence- of this lies in the fact that every one of a core of Portland's busy business and professional men who were asked to act as captains In the colossal J200.000 Red Cross drive ac cepted the heavy responsibility without cavil or excuse and declared their will ingness to take off their coats and work until the last dollar of Port land's big- allotment lias been raised. W. B. Aver, who is campaign chair man, personally called on these men yesterday and last night reported that without exception each had immediate ly consented to give up his own per sonal work and devote ail hrs time and executive energies to the patriotic work In hand. ' Teams Being Organized. These captains are now organizing? their teams, which will be known by numbers from No. 1 to Ko. 20, each team to be made up of ten other Portland men of broad experience and proven executive ability. The captains are: 'harle F. Adams, J. C Ainsworth. "W. J. Burns, it. C. Colt. Edward l.'ooklnRham, A. I . TeverB. T. D. Honey man. Jam B. .Kerr. I. KanK. Alien Iewla, Juliuft t,. Meier, Kdward Newbejrln. Andrew C. Smith. Ben felling. E. T. Thompson. Ouy Talbot, T. B. Wilcox. William IK Wheelwright, W. T. Woodward, John B. Veon. Mr. Ayer, In an interview last night, said that if the spontaneous spirit of patriotic enthusiasm shown by these representative men can be taken as an indication, Portland will rise splendidly to the demand that has been made upon her citizens and that every dollar of the huge allotment will be cheerfully Klven. "Widespread Interest In the campaign already is manifest," said Mr. Ayer, "and our executive committee feels that the people of Portland are awake to this opportunity for patriotic service. Need to Be Impressed. "In our preliminary campaign we will endeavor to awaken them more fully to the urgent need of giving freely. We want every citizen who stays at home to feel what he owes to the . American soldiers and sailors at the front; that it would be an everlasting stain upon our National honor If through any neg ligence of ours any single boy at the front lying wounded should find him self without proper hospital care. We civilians should know that ours is the responsibility of bringing back to every mother in as good health as possible the boy she sends to fight our battles. "Because so many questions are be ing asked as to why the Government does not by appropriation finance the that the administration of this work! "iiinuL ue carrieu out as are me naval and military operations of our country. These latter are financed and adminis tered through Governmental machinery and Congressional appropriations, fol lowing loog and tedious deliberations and much red tape. Work la International. "The Red Cross Is absolutely interna tional in character, and its work must be strictly neutral. It could not, there fore, be fostered by the appropriations of any one government, belligerent or neutral. All humanity must participate in this work of mercy, spontaneously and broadly enough to meet every de mand that the exigencies of this great modern war present. "The Red Cross must, therefore, be supported by voluntary contributions, and in this phase It offers patriotic civilians at home their opportunity to serve their country." GENERAL CHAIRMAN OF PORTLAND RED CROSS CAMPAIGN. rim - r f i v i ' . N I n " : - b :f : il f- 't : t f. d-'T ' - ' ' : &4 W. B. AYER. TEACHER'S PLEA IS IN School Board Glum Over Re turn of Mrs. Richards. BITTER FIGHT IS RECALLED POWER LINEJIW ROCKAWAY Many Tonus Along Beach Supplied by Tillamook Plant. ROCKAWAY, Or.. June 7. (Special.) The Coast Power Company, of Tilla mook, connected Its last link in the jiower line to this place yesterday, and the electricity from the local plant is now supplanted by the superior serv ice from the county seat. The serv ice Is supplied also to Bay City, Bar View and as faras Rockaway, Includ ing intermediate points. Three electric light companies were bought out by the Tillamook concern to make the field a clear one for its activity. Albany Pythian Sisters Honored. ALBANY, Or.. June 7. (Special.) Mrs. virgij y. Hackleman was chosen most excellent chief of Alpha Temple, ;so. 1. pytnian Msters, or this city, in the semi-annual election of officers last evening.- Other officers named to serve this temple, which is the first of the order formed in this state, are: Most excellent senior, Mrs. Charles j I.

Barke, of Conch School, Excused for Year to Serve Enlist ment in Navy Recall Expanse of $232.75 Is Reported. Directors of the Portland school tric heard officially again from Mrs. Maud L. Richards at a regular meeting of the board yesterday afternoon. She informed them by letter that she would be on hand to report for' duty as a teacher at v. ...... i , - .... v t iiia schools next September. Airs. Richards is the teacher who fought the board and established the right of married teachers to continue to hold their positions in Portland schools. She was discharged when she married, or at any rate the directors thought she was discharged, but an appeal established the fact, by virtue of a Supreme Court decision, that a teacher has not the right to sign a contract that will forbid her own mar riage if she is to hold her position. The board received her notice yester day rather glumly, without enthusiasm, and Chairman Beach directed that the notice be filed with the committee on educational affairs. James R. Burke, teacher in the Couch School, asked, the board yester day for leave of. absence of one year, having enlisted in the Navy, with the proviso that If his service was not ended at that time a further leave would be granted. He will be advised to apply at the end of the year again for a further leave if the war shall not have ended by that time. Lockers were borrowed from the school district yesterday by W. VV Cotton, president of the Waverley Golf Club, for the golf tournament which will start here June 25. The lockers will be used for the accommodation of visitors to the city, and, as it was to be a courtesy to visitors, the di rectors voted for It. Robert G. Duncan says he spent $232.75 of his own money in the ill fated attempt to recall Director Smith from the board. A statement he filed as to expenditures was reported yes terday. It was referred to the finance committee. John Lewis, purchasing agent for the school district, will be compelled to perform his duties under bond, though he protested against the prac tice and the directors considered the matter yesterday. He asked that the rule requiring a bond be modified.

The Army paymaster visited camp today and Major Edwards distrib uted many bright gold pieces. In conse quence, two of the many Army camp life things happened. There was an un usual number of requests for 12-hour passes and the new post exchange did a land-office Business. Every day is a day of development, not only with the man in the ranks, but with the officers. The working sched ule of the camp for this week. Its drill hours, noncommissioned officers' school, and officers' school and the rest of It calls for a 12-hour steady grind for the officers In command. The enlisted man gets off with about nine or at the most ten hours a day, but the Colonel, Majors, Captains and Lieutenants are hitting up about 13 hours a day. The working schedule for next week will add another hour. As it is now, the officers get into action at 6 A. M. and are on the job until offi cers school, which is held after supper. Private Jack II a yea Weds. Still another war bride has taken a chance. Private Jack Hayes, Com pany L, was married on Sunday to Miss Emma Beebe. The Army Y. M. C. A., with R. C. Miller and Randall Scott, late of Ore gon University, in charge, is being well attended by the soldiers in camp. Every night the large tent is crowded. On next Monday, work will commence upon the wooden structure. The young men In charge do not be lieve in "Finders keepers." Yet they have a perfectly new organ that does not belong to them. The owner can have the same by coming after it. The other day a teamster from Vancouver brought the organ to camp. He insisted on delivering the instrument at the Y. . M. C. A. tent. He received a permit to enter the grounds. The organ is still . here, but the owner can come and get it. - The call for a neatlng plant for heating water for bathing purposes at the camp, published in The Oregonian, received a quick response, for William (Bill) Riedt, known far and near as father of the Third, constituted him self a relief committee of one and not only bought an 82-gallon tank, but loaded the heavy' tank in his automo bile and delivered it to Captain Hock enyos, of the supply company, who at once detailed men to set up the tank. Because of wretched drainage it will be necessary' to construct a drainage system and lay about 500 feet of til ing. Mr. Riedt will pay out of his own pocket whatever cost is incurred in erecting the plant. Some Drugs ot Obtainable. The suptly department of the United States Army is not the only branch that ia feeUus the piwch caused by the European war. There Is the Medical Department. A printed list sent out from the Surgeon-General's office con taining the names of more than 50 kinds of drugs that are unobtainable or that cannot be obtained from this department has Just been received by the sanitary troops. Another circular sent out to all sanitary troops con tains a request that each hospital corps that has a supply of trikerol, one of the principal drugs used in making typhoid preventive, be sent at once to Washington. Just to keep on mentioning things needed. I might call to the attention of those good folks at Portland who are making bandages and other sup plies to send abroad that the sanitary troops of the Third are short of ban dages. In fact bandages, medicated cotton and adhesive tape are all badly needed. There is hardly enough on hand for more than three or four dressings. These supplies were or dered weeks ago, but the demands that are being made on the Western De partment are so heavy that it may be weeks or even months before t,he stuff reaches camp. Officer's Honeymoon Brief. How would you like to be in the Army. Just married to the "dearest and sweetest girl on earth." and then spend your honeymoon (anyway the next day after you were married) running down not-too-particular pawnshop keepers and second-hand dealers? Tough, you say? Well, rather! But that Is Just what Captain Eugene C. Llbby. Company F, had to do Monday and Tuesday. He was married Sunday evening at 6 o'clock. Not having taken Colonel Dentler into his confidence before hand was the cause of Captain Llbby's Army-shoe hunting honeymoon. Colonel Dentler had detailed Captain Llbby on the Job of raiding the second-hand dealers In Portland without knowing that the Captain of F Company was going to take a war bride. However, being a newlywed did not prevent Captain Llbby and his detail from do ing a thorough Job of collecting Army shoes. His detail gathered in 76 pairs. When the case of shoe buying by the none-too-careful second-hand dealers is sifted to the bottom the buyer of Government property is apt to be shy $1000 or there may be a few new faces for the Federal prison keepers to feed. The Government always promises a sharp prosecution when dealing with the guilty parties. Ration Allowance Climbs. The Government is again feeling the pinch of the high cost of living. In 1916 the Nation's hired men back in Washington figured that 26 and 27 cents a day would be the generous ra tion allowance for a man each day. Then the ration allowance in 1917 be gan to climb. It has been going up ever since. The daily ration allowance lor June,. 1.312, lias limbed. . until now A. Tooth Paste of.

Battalion parades and Ions road marches in the afternoon is now being included In the hardening up process of the soldiers in camp. Last night the first battalion parade was held and it was an inspiring sight. The parade ground Is no "smooth, trackless waste," but rough and very green. In fact it's a mass of cunningly concealed hu.apa and holes, yet in spite of this, when it came to that part of the parade march ing in company front, each company was able to keep the line straight and also to keep the cadence. The band, too, in spite of the rough going, was able to do its bit without a wobble. Two companies were out on the road hike during the afternoon. The two days of bright sun dried out the- coun try roads so that the lads might have believed themselves suddenly trans ported down on the Mexican border, were it not for the green trees that lined the roadside.
