, jKEW TORK, Oct. 4. Fifth avenue,
which lias echoed tho tread of many
niarchini; fort through tempests of
cheers since America shouldered arms,
paid homage today to the Nation's
heroines the nurses of the Red Cross.
It was the first great parade of the
-American Red Cross, and although the
20.000 " marching: women, young and
middle-aged,, did not present a martial
appearance, they marched amazincly
well. They appeared as representatives
of the first, second and third lines of
relief back of the battle line, enlisted
to .serve and to succor ,the Nation's
fitrhting men.' The hundreds of thou
sands w-ho had gathered- to do them
honor paid .a tribute of respect all the
more impressive because -it was less
boisterous than that accorded the regi
ments which have swung down the ave
nue on thcir.way to training camps. .
It was a colorful procession, which
stretched from Central Park to Wash
ington Square, and took two hours to
pass the reviewing 'stand at the: public
library. , . '-. .:-'
i Heading the line in their' trim travel
uniforms of dark blue were -the' nurses
who have mobilized here under ordeYs
to sail for France. Back of them came
another division in gray crepe uniforms,
made up of those aw-aiting orders. An
other detachment wore rubber slickers
fbr . service in rough weather. Others
wore dark blue ulsters and still others
blue serge dresses with military capes
thrown back to show the red flannel
lining. In fact, spectators saw every
type of uniform known to the healing
branch of the service.
! Back of the nurses who are to see
active service marched delegations from
every hospital in the five borough's of
New York, and then followed the wom
en who compose scores of chapters of
the? Red Cross and who represent lines
of relief activity. Banners they car
ried appealed for recruits and support.
Several base hospital units were in
line with stretcher-bearers and ambu
lances grim reminders of the work
that' is to come. Many of the ambu
lances were driven by women, as were
motor emergency kittens. One of the
motor service units, represented the
restrict of Columbia. At. the head of
this division marched Mrs. Joseph us
Daniels, wife of the Secretary of the
Navy . , .
Many of the marchers carriefe'service
flags, denoting that sons or husbands
are in the service of their country.
As these flags passed the reviewing
stand they were saluted by Secretary
Daniels'. Surgeon-General Gorgas. Gov.
ernor K&ge. .of New- Jersey, and Major
General Kli D. Hoyle. commander of
the Department of the East, almost as
punctiliously as were the Stars and
Stripes when they jwent by at the head
of each division. .
Marching at-toe- head of the proces
sion was Henry P. Davison, chairman
of the Red Cross, war council, and sev
eral of his aides.

"The" allies are preparing for a war
which may last 10 or 20 years, but
which they hope will end shortly." said
Captain H. A. Pearson, of Toronto, Can
ada, yesterday. In a stirring account of
the war before the Progressive Busi
ness Men's Club.
Mr. Pearson explained the "curtain
fire" now being used and declared that
It is utterly impossible for any one to
stand up against it. He told of the
great part the aircraft will play and
are playing in the work at the front
and of the fresh troops that are brought
up every fourth day to relieve those
who have undergone unceasing work
in the trenches for four days, where it
formerly was 12 days.
Captain Pearson praised the French
soldier, declaring that one would not
know him today as compared with the
same man at the start of the war. '
Fritz De Bruin and Dr. Stuart Mc
Guire rendered two stirringly patriotic
selections.
As a contribution to practical food
conservation the Progressive Business
Men-s Club next Monday will offer for

this conference.

Admission to the meeting will be by

Organisation Has Improved.
Mr. Wilson left Portland yesterday
afternoon for San Francisco after com
pleting his work here. . He is traveling
ahead of Mr. McAdoo making all neces
sary arrangements for his speeches.
Mr. Wilson said he is finding every
where a far better organization to han
dle the- second installment of liberty
bonds than was the case when the first
issue was subscribed. More time has
been' given for perfecting complete
plans and he predicts that the $3,000.
000.000 worth of bonds will be sub
scribed promptly.
"Secretary McAdoo. Is running tne
entire Treasury Department from his
car on this trip," said Mr. Wilson. "He
is accompanied by- seven people, his
secretary., stenographers and secret
service men, and is busy every minute
He is a tireless worker and puts in all
his tine on the Nation's business.
"The campaign Is to be carried to
the taimers. who are more directly in
terested, perhaps. In the success of the
loan than any other class of people,
because the money will be used in
making the seas safe so that they can
g-t their crops to the world's markets,
with consequent high prices."

FIRST LIBERTY BONDS ARRIVE
Supply Comes to Local Banks for
Distribution.
Portland banks are now receiving
liberty bonds of the first issue, which
bear 3M per cent interest, and the at
tractive securities may be seen upon
application at any one of several of
the downtown banks.
Subscribers to the first loan will get
their bonds soon now. and those anx
ious to have them should apply at the
bank where they made their subscrip
tions. It may be that in some instances
the bonds have not yet arrived in suf
ficient supply so that purchasers may
be accommodated at once.
Many people who subscribed for
bonds at the first call, it is expected,
will want to exchange their bonds for
the second issue, which carries 4 per
cent interest. This may be done
through the subscribing agency.
It is suggested that those who have
first-issue bonds coming to, them sell
them to local bankers at par and take
the money thus released and buy the
4 per cent bonds. At least one of the
banks, it is understood, has agreed to
take the bonus at par and the securi
ties will be sent to New Tork, where
there is understood to be an active de
mand for them by capitalists, who like
them because they offer . exemption
from income tax, a feature not found
in the second issue. If this step Is
taken by local buyers of the first
Issue, and they buy the new issue, it is
pointed out their money will have done
double service for the Government.
$13000 BONDS GO IN 3 DAYS
Aberdeen Takes Liberty Loan in
Small Denominations.
ABERDEEN. Wash., Oct. 4. (Spe
cial.) Upwards' of $15,000 worth of
liberty loan bonds were sold here in
the first three days of the campaign.
Practically all the purchasers took
bonds of small denominations. Tns
committee is now confident that th
city will greatly exceed its allotment
pf $150,000.
The bond sale is expected to receive
a big impetus as the result of a liberty
loan dinner to be held Friday night
under the auspices of the Chamber of
Commerce.

for the proper felicitation. But Chair
man Smith broke the spell.
"Be careful," he admonished .Mr.

airplane perform acrobatics in the .line
of duty.
Principal C. M. Kiggins, of the Ladd
School, was granted a six weeks' leave
of absence, that he may harvest his
farm crops, owing to the fact that his
sons, on whom he depended for this
service, are now wearing the olive
drab.
The School Board approved audited
claims amounting to $161,273.11, and
transacted various other routine busi-
, Alan Green Fails in Examination.
Word has been received in Portland
from Alan Green,' husband of Mrs.
Helen Ladd Green, saying that he had
arrived in Paris with the American
Field Service. Mr. Green passed the
physical examination before leaving
here. but. owing to the regulations,
was compelled to undergo another upon
arriving in Paris, and this he failed to
pass. He did not say in his cablegram
whether or not he would 'enlist in an
other branch of the service.
Car Leaves Rails: One Hurt.
Giacoma Takoma. 138 Union avenue,
sustained a wrenched back and other
minor injuries yesterday morning when
a streetcar on which he was a passen
ger left the rails at Albina avenue and
Lombard street while rounding a curve.
The operators, and two other passen
gers were Injured.
A dozen manual training instructors,
although advised that pro rata pay
would be allowed if the plan carried,
declared against Saturday morning
manual training classes yesterday,
when the matter was considered by the
School Board. They were willing to
work, said the instructors, but they be
lieved that the Saturday class system
would not be productive of good Je
suits. L. L. Summers, supervisor of manual
training, declared lor the innovation
and told the board that his subordi
nates did not understand the situation.
He clashed in a somewhat heated argu
ment with Director E. A. Sommers, who
opposed the plan.
Director Plummer attempted to pour
oil on the waters by suggesting that
the School Board had hired Supervisor
Summers for his knowledge of the mat
ter, and that his recommendation should
be considered. By a motion permitting
the pro rata payment of instructors at
classes the coming Saturday, the ques
tion was referred to a committee, which
will report on whether Saturday classes
should be held.
A delegation of women from the
Glenhaven School vicinity, led bv Mrs.
Lois F. MacGregor, appeared in protest j
tLga.iiiEL me cutting aown oi tne course
by two grades, the eighth and ninth,
and compelling pupils of these grades
to attend the Montavilla School, a mile
or more distant.
Board Inlt in Denial.
Members of the board were in accord
in the reply, declaring that the falling
off In attendance at the Glenhaven
School did not justify the employment
of the extra teachers, and that the
distance to Montavilla should prove no
deterrent to the young idea in search
of knowledge. The committee, after
advising the directors that truancy is
rife in Glenhaven, owing to the absence
of the two grades, filed dejectedly out.
The -request of District Attorney
Evans that the board make an allow
ance of $50 a month for the legal serv
ices of the deputy who -attends to the
district's legal work, was referred to
committee.
Maude Foster, of Kenton School, and
Mary V. Madigan. of Franklin High
School, who had presented applications
for leaves of absence after being ab
sent for some months without leave,
are no longer numbered among instruc
tors of the. Portland schools. The di
rectors construed the failure to report
as a resignation in each case and de
clared the positions vacant
Admonition was directed to the Uni
versity of Greater Portland, which ten
ants the old Couch School building, ad
vising that "the board will consider any
further neglect of the premises good
cause for the revocation of their use
of this building, and that the board ex
pects the place to be cleaned up and
kept up."
Leaves of Absence Considered.
The request of Catherine Graves,
teacher, for a leave of absence for the
rest of the present term, had been
favorably reported by the educational
affairs committee, providing a phy
sician's certificate that her health will
not permit her to teach was presented.
Clerk Thomas produced the certifi
cate and passed it to Chairman Smith,
who regarded it somewhat dubiously,
and handed it on to Director Sommer.
The latter was emphatically against
recognizing it, and the board again re
ferred the- case to the committee. The
certificate, it was understood, was
signed by an osteopathic physician.
Two" leaves of absence were given on
patriotic grounds J. P. Shanks,
a manual training teacher, was granted
an indefinite leave of absence, in order
that he may Join the Canadian Flying
Corps. vThe aspirant for aerial service
was requested to rise and be presented
FATE OF MONEY MYSTERY
5100O Which Disappeared at Port
Stevens May Not Have Been Stolen.
,VSTORIA. or.. Oct. 4. (Special.)
While the greatest secrecy is main
tained regarding the disappearance of
$1000 in currency from the paymaster's
office at Fort Stevens, the latest de
velopments indicate that the money
may not have been stolen. According
to the best advices, the cash was sent
from a Portland bank to one in Astoria.
Later it was forwarded to the fort
without being checked and so far as
known was not counted there, so there
is a bare possibility that the full
amount never reached the fort.
So far there is no clew as to who
might have taken the missing money,
but the local officers, as well as the
militarv authorities, are keeping a
sharp lookout for suspicious characters.

Why Worry Along in
the Same Old Rut?
Are you lame every morning, tired all day, tortur
ed off and on with dull, throbbing backache or sudden
stabs of sharp pain ? Perhaps you have tried to get at
it from the outside with plasters, liniments, etc., but they
do . little good if your kidneys are weak. If you have
dizzy headaches, neuralgia, rheumatic twinges and kidney
irregularities, don't wait for worse troubles to seize you.
Use Doan'a Kidney Pills, the time-tried, world famous
remedy for weak kidneys. Read what your neighbors
say about it.
This is Portland Testimonv:
Mrs. R. R. Myers. 470 Lex
ington Ave., says: "I caught
a cold and it settled on my
kidneys. From then , on I
suffered from awful pain
in my back. Sometimes the
pain was "dull and steady,
and at other times sharp
twinges would catch me in
my back. I- felt all out of
sorts anl that tired feeling
never left me. Doan's 'd"
ney Pills cured me and I
have never had a symptom
of kidney trouble since."
Mrs. B. M. Watkins, .1102
E. Twenty-fifth St., N.. says:
"Doan's . Kidney Pills are
certainly fine. My kidneys
had never given me any
trouble until several years
ago when an operation left
me with kidney weakness
My back ached and 1 suf
fered in different ways. As
Doan's Kidney Pills were
always recommended highly
I used them and was soon
cured. I haven't had any such
trouble since then and I
am only too glad to say a
few words in praise of
Doan's Kidney Pills."
