Today is the closing day of the
great Red Cross drive. known as
Mercy Monday. Portland and Oregon
already have distanced the optimistic
amounts allotted to them. The drive
has captured the Oregon country to
the last village.
Portland's quota, originally $200,000,
has been voluntarily increased by the
ready response of citizens of all class
es, American to the heart's core, until
the prediction is for the return of
325,000, or more.
Half Million la Asked.
Oregon was to raise $400,000, exclu
slve of Portland. Yesterday the state
had reported $458,678. H. L.. -Corbett
state manager, has sent a telegram to
all county committees, advising that
the goal is set at not less than fouO.
000. and exhorting all counties to re
port full or increased quotas today.
"A dispatch received at Red Cross
headquarters from the Red Cross War
Council, at Washington, D. C, sug
gests that today be known as Per
shing Day. in honor of General Per
shing and the American troops now at
the front.
Fund in Nation Still Short.
That $20,000,000 Is still needed to
complete the Red Cross fund, as 1
pledge of the National loyalty to Gen
eral Pershing and his men, is the state,
ment of the Red Cross War Council.
Portland will not quibble. Lot Mercy
Monday be Pershing Day, as well.
Such is the sentiment among the loyal
hosts who have swept the city in suc
cessful search for funds that Ameri
can soldiers may be given the greatest
possible chance to come safely home
zrom the torn fields of France.
Day to Prove Generosity.
Call it what you will. Mercy Mon
day Is to be the climax of triumphant
ly accumulating proof that tiie spirit
of Americanism, of broad generosity
and appreciation of the sacrifice made
by America's sons, burns more brightly
than ever.
In Portland It will be a day of glad
ness, when all the gates to giving are
down. And the day will run smoothly
toward its evening climax, when the
Red Cross clock, at Sixth t and Alder
streets, shall mark the hour of high
tide. Says the executive committee of
the great drive, in a proclamation for
the day:
"Perhaps giving a day's pav or Its
equivalent means for you no butter on
the table for a month. Give it! What
right have you to withhold, for 1
paltry luxury, the tender hand held ou
to him, stricken and tortured, who
fights the good fight for you? Keep
the faith with him!
Give I'ntll Giving Cut 11 Deep.
"Do not forget that, with a love that
passeth understanding, he goes forth
with head erect and singing heart to
lay down his life, that you and yours
may live in peace forever.
"Match your tears and your pride o
faith with your money until the giv
ing cuts deep and know the rest an
peace that come with a duty done.
Mercy Monday is under the directing
chairmanship of Charles F. Berg. Mem
hers of his committee are: Music and
police, E. B. Duffy; lighting effects and
decorations, II. W. Pierong; properties
Kurt II. Koehler: speakers, John
Knjrlish; spieler. Hornian von Borstel
grand marshal. Major H. U. elch.
The last day of the drive, on which
all giving will be informal and spon
taneously generous, wiil begin at
o'clock this morning, when spirited
spielers will take their stations by the
glass carboys at Sixth and Alder streets
From that hour until the last spurt of
the Red Cross clock, working in relays
they will woo change, currency and
checks from the passersby, the contri
buttons being dropped In the gaping
glass jars.
Speaking; to Be Continuous.
An hour or so later, with fifes shrill
lng and drums pattering, the Sons o
Spanish-American War Veterans, small
patriots who know well how to rattl
a fighting tune, will march up to Sixth
and Alder streets and go on duty for
the day.
The speaking battery, selected b
Chairman English from among th
ablest oratorical talent of the city, will
open fire at 10:30 this morning. Lik
their fellows, the spielers, the big gun
of the speaking battery will thunde
"in relays, making a continuous speak
ing programme for Mercy Monday. Th
Ad Club quartet Is to sing at noon, just
before the clock wakes from its two
days' slumber to hop a hundred thou
sand or so.
The noon luncheon for Red Cross
workers will be held at the Hotel
Portland, and at 1:15, carrying ban
ners and their reports for the last two
days, the army will march upon the
clock, setting it far ahead. At inter
vals during the day, as reports come
in, the hand will be turned to its high
er station. .
The real feature of Mercy Monday is

Gigantic Red Cross Formed.
From Washington to Morrison and
from Broadway to Fifth, flanking the
Red Cross rallying center, the massed
audience will form a human Red Cross,
n which flood lights of crimson color
will be turned. Traffic will be for
bidden in the district outlined.
And this is not to je overlooked, says
Chairman Charles F. Berg. Of the-hun-dreds
of fraternal and social organiza-
ions in the city, but a comparative
few are listed as contributors. Beneath
the Red Cross clock tonight will rest
real treasure chest, especially in
tended for the contributions of or
ganizations. Around about 7:45 In the
evening representatives of local or
ganizations, ' in regalia, if possible, are
asked to advance to the treasure chest
and cast down their toll for humanity's
sake.
"It Is just an oversight, no doubt,"
commented Mr. Berg, "but an oversight
which may yet be remedied, even if
It's necessary to call special meetings
of their boards of directors to vote
he contributions. Mercy Monday will
welcome the contributions of organiza
tions which have not been visited by
the solicitors."
Clubs Aid Contributions.
Two contributions of yesterday were
those of the Portland Grade Teachers'
Association, $100, and the Portland
Press Club, $50. Various other re
ports drifted in. but the field forces
of Chairman Reed were too busy with
the house-to-house campaign to spare
time for jubilant rushes to headquar
ters. The day went well.
The contribution of the Portland
Grade Teachers' Association was from
special patriotic fund raised by a
recent bazaar, in which Miss Jessie
McGregor, president, and Miss Viola
Ortschild, ex-president, were active
workers. The association has contrib
uted to ambulance funds and other
war relief work.
Mercy Monday is for the citizens of
Portland. All are urged to attend the
final assembly of triumph today and
share in the expression of happiness
at the completed task, in which they
bore their part.

DR. HUGKENZIE IS
HOME FROM EAST
Raising Funds for Red Cross,
He Declares, One of Nation's
Coming Achievements.
FIRST BLOW IN WAR STRUCK
Washington Feels That Struggle
Will Last From Three . to
Five Years Before Common
Enemy Is Vanquished.
"Red Cross is the thing that is
everv mind at this time and the Red
Cross campaign now offers the great-

WILL PLAV AT TONIGHT'S TRIUMPHANT RED CROSS DEMONSTRATION.
est opportunity to the American people
for effective work, that has offered it
self to them since the United States
went into the great war," says Dr.
Kenneth A. J. Mackenzie, chairman of
the state organization of medical men
for co-operation with the Government
in the war.
Dr. MacKenzie returned yesterday
from the East, where he has been at
tending the conference of the medical
branch of the Council of National De
fense. He has been absent for a month,
during whicii time he visited Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, and Washing
ton. D. C conferred with the leaders
who are at the head in all the depart
ments which are carrying forward the
preparations of the United States for
participation in the combat in Europe,
and had the opportunity of observing
the conduct of the great Nation-wide
Red Cross campaign which is culminat
ing today.
Importance of Work Told.
"At this Juncture the raising of these
funds and the crystallization of the
huge organization of the Red Cross in
the United States is of paramount im
portance," he declared.
"It is one of the crowning achieve
ments of the Nation and will put the
fear of God into the enemy more even
than the liberty loan subscription.
"It is comforting to realize that In
this great work, Oregon is once more
in the vanguard. She has done so well
In the liberty loan campaign, in which
she heavily oversubscribed her quota,
that she should not fail in the even
greater work in which she is now en
gaged. Already the allotment for Port
land and Oregon is oversubscribed in
the Red Cross campaign, I am informed.
It should not stop short of a million.
"In this work we will be striking our
first and most effective blow in the
war, and the important effects can
hardly be overestimated.
Washington Expects Long War.
"In Washington one feels that the
Nation is preparing for a struggle that
is to take from three to five years be
fore the common enemy is vanquished,
and the heads of the departments do
not hesitate to give expression to the
great menace confronting the Nation,
which may, in case of the dereat 01
our allies in Europe, bring the carnage
of battle to our very doors. Many de
partments in Washington have doubled
and trebled their forces and sometimes
finding space in other buildings, all
are working with feverish energy.
"The Red Cross, naturally under
great pressure for the time being, finds
great difficulty In operation. The Red
Cross memorial building just completed
is extending its floor space, the service
is being organized on a colossal scale
and very soon will be in perfect run
ning order.
Supplier of All Kinds Needed.
"There will be, there now is, a crying
need, especially in remote battle-fronts.
for medical and surgical supplies of
all kinds, for nightclothes, knitted ar
ticles and other supplies for the care
and comfort of the wounded.
"England alone has 1.000.000 beds
scattered over the globe for , the use
of wounded soldiers. Our own sons
are now mingling in the struggle.
"One of the impressive sights wit
nessed was the building of4 a portable
hospital in New York on the campus
acquired by Columbia University for
the accommodation of the first 500
wounded that will land on our shores.
"The response that the people of the
United States are making to the de
mands of the time for the Red Cross
are magnificent and inspiring, and I
have been gratified inexpressibly by
the evidences of the tremendous re
sponse that Portland has made.
Portland Stand United.
"One recognizes here In Portland
more perfect organization and co-operation
and an even more vigorous im
pulse to throw our whole energy into
the campaign than I have observed In
any other city I have visited since the
campaign was launched."
Dr. Mackenzie found in Washington
strong approval of the work that is be
ing done in Oregon. He had confer
ences with the Surgeon-General office,
with Colonel Kean. medical director
of the Red Cross; Dr. Franklin H. Mar
tin, of the Council of National Defense,
and Dr. William J. Mayo, president of
the advisory committee of the Council
of National Defense.
The medical profession began its or
ganization in a Nation-wide sense in
1916. when the Mexican trouble devel
oped, and is rapidly bringing to effec
tive completion an organization that
will throw at the disposal of the Gov
ernment for the war the maximum ci
vilian resources of the country in the
branches of medical and surgical serv
ice. Oregon's organization of medical
men was perfected in April, 1916.
Medical Men Will Be Needed.
One 'of the powerful efforts of the
I Government in the war, according to
Dr. Mackenzie, will be to guard against 1
the diversion of men who can be mado
available for medical service into other
lines of military activity to which they
will not be so well adapted. Efforts
will be to keep intact the faculties 01
medical colleges and to encourage stu
dents, even in premedical work in the
universities, to stay in their work ana
carry it forward as rapidly as possible
to fit themselves for service in the huge
medical units that will be necessary.
When an army of 2.000.000 men is de
veloped it wiil require a medical com
plement of 20.000. Enrollments up to
the present time amount to less than
5000.
Indications are that the President
will soon have on the Cabinet an of
ficial who will devote his service to
all matters relating to National health,
with jurisdiction probably -over the san
itary welfare of the Army.

The possibilities for using and the
dangers of misdirecting the forces and

power and the achievements that had

'No other nation has approacnea me
Germans in their acuteness of power

forces of material ministry. Nor has
any other nation so exemplified how
man s glory and his sname lie so close

vast constructive genius into a de

kind of exaggerated parable of the in

gifted with powers intended to bene

ends.
"Germany s alleged motive of world

nate liberally of their fruit, in order
that the children of the Portland

have their fill of strawberries aud
cream. The fruit will be assembled at
a local bank and expressed at once to
