Kishty-flve times each day, at as Inany different halla and meeting places throughout Oregon, the citizens of the tate will hear the message of the liberty loan from now to the close of the campaign. Such i3 the statistical estimate of the publicity committee, which has com piled the lists of speakers and heralded them in every nook, of the state. With the tremendous driving rorce of a iriant hammer, the truth about the liberty loan will be thudded home by a regi ment of orators, in the widespread speaking campaign that will begin on londay. the first working day of "Lib erty week."

In the state at large ISO meetings liave been arranged by the committee on speakers. These are to be followed by speaking dates arranged for by local committees. It Is conservatively estimated that the number of addresses locally arranged for will total close to 600. In all Oregon during the next fort ' night scarcely an afternoon or avening hour will pass without simultaneous delivery of the liberty loan message In a dozen or more communities. The real adventure of the state speaking campaign sets forth from Portland this morning, when the vol unteer car contributed by Eric V. Hauscr. of the Multnomah Hotel, rolls away from liberty loan headquarters to the conquest of Central Oregon. The personnel of the venture comprises John H. Stevenson, former Municipal Judge of Portland: John L. Etheridge, bond expert of Morris Bros.; H. H. Cloutier, manager of the expedition and manager of the Multnomah, and Von Zctz, chauffeur.

OF more' than ordinary Interest is the engagement of Henrietta Crosman. one of the. foremost among our'Amcrlcan actresses, at the Hellig Theater in a new comedy en titled . "Erstwhile Susan," from the pen of "Marian do Forest, recalled for her "Little Women," and is founded on Helen R. Martin's novel. "Barnabetta." It pictures life among the quaint sur roundings of a. Pennss'lvania Dutch settlement and Miss Crosman has been supplied by Miss de Forest with one of the most delightful comedy roles she has had In recent seasons. The engage ment will close with two performances today. Miss Crosman is seen as Susan Miller, an affected, posing woman, high-flown in speech and "individual" in dress, who replies to an advertise ment for a wife and finds herself mar ried to Barnaby Dreary, a surly, tight fisted Pennsylvania Dutchman with three grown children. How Susan Dreary, despite her curious personality and her airs and graces, gets the upper hand of the unpleasant conditions sur rounding her new lot, hr efforts reach ing a happy climax when she settles in a surprising and novel fashion the love, affair of little Barnabetta her stepdaughter, whom she takes to her heart with the deepest of a mother' love, forms an amusing and interesting story. ' i Henrietta C'roaman, Who "Will Clor Basement at Ileitis To-nlBbt. Ing he will start the return .trip to Portland, having stimulated invaluable assistance in furtherance of the liberty loan issue. Immediately after his return, Mr. Miller will depart on a tour of Southern, Oregon for the same purpose, going as far south as Medford. Shad O. Krantz. formerly of The Oregonian editorial staff, now manager of the industrial and commercial service bureau of the University of Oregon, visited liberty loan headquarters yesterday and was asked if arrangements could be made for Mr. Miller to speak before the stu dents and faculty of the university while en route to Southern Oregon. Mr. Krantz, who returns to Eugene today, will at once take the matter up with President Campbell, of the University, and it is probable that the address will be arranged. :. St.' Helena Hran Talk. Last night Mr. Miller, accompanied by A. F. Flegel and S. M. Miles, motored to St. Helens, where they spoke to a liberty loan assembly, creating much enthusiasm for the campaign. The Forty-five Club, in session" last night at Central Library, was ad dressed by S. S. Stowe on the liberty loan quota and the part its members can play in furthering' the vigor of the campaign. Guy H. Corliss is scheduled to de liver a special liberty loan talk before the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club, to be held Tuesday noon at the Hotel Benson. - The state-wide speaking campaign for. "Liberty week." proclaimed by Gov ernor Withycombe as beginning "tomor row, is as comprehensive and perfect in detail as careful preliminary 6tudy can provide. On Monday, the oratorical drive begins. . For Oregon, never a laggard In mo ments of crises, the campaigners will carry the slogans of the campaign into every- community- of "the state. But the slogan that best identifies their pur pose is found in the slangy campaign cry that. is all-American in its-tersely humorous demand "If you can't go across, come across!" MORE MILLIONS " ARE ADDED New Vork Reports Progress in Lib erty Loan Campaign. . - NEW "FORK, Oot. 12. More millions were added to the second liberty loan in the New Tork Federal reserve dis trict today, despite ,the . financial inac tivity usually accompanying a. holiday. Total subscriptions announced tonight were $287, 515.400. . The largest of the day was one of $3,000,000 from the United States Mortgage Trust Com pany. A statement issued ' by the central war loan committee of the American Bankers' Association declared that the banks "now face the greatest respon sibility Jn their existence" and that the business : of the banker, will be quite unusual. . "Loans and rediscounts will need to be temporarily -expanded," the state ment, said. "The safety of the Nation depends on a proper handling of the problems of financing. Every dollar must be made to do its. maximum serv ice. "Some bankers have faltered because of fear of disturbance to their depos its. This situation has been' met by others through- promotion of the sale of bonds on the partial payment plan. It is better to mortgage the future sav ings of the people than to have money withdrawn from banks and consequent ly from business. - The fact that the funds arising from the sale of liberty bonds will be spent in America and will gradually return to the banks through the. channels of trade- should not be overlooked." PEACE LEAGUE AIDING SALE W. I. Wheelwright Urges Members to Co-operate With Government. ' The Oregon branch of the League to Enforce Peace has completed its or ganization for helping the second lib erty loan campaign and has put a num ber of speakers at the service of the speakers' committee of the liberty loan campaign. A letter sent out by W. D. Wheelwright.-ohalrman of the Oregon branch, urges co-operation with the Govern ment. It says in part: ' :. "Unmistakably; therefore.! the League to- Enforce Peace, while pledging Its devotion to the cause for which it was founded, is now committedto the caut-e of this -world's war. Its slogan is: 'Win the war. Make the world-safe by the-defeat of German militarism. Keep the world safe by a league of nations." To which may . appropriately b added the words of the Secretary of War: "Our combined armies fromnow on -will represent - a- league to enforce peace with justice."

The tachrs will be able to subscribe any amounts 'they desire and pay for them on the installment plan without interest. - - While if Is thought' by' the School Board that the purchase will meet with the approval of the majority of taxpayers.- the Board is anxious for any one who may object to the issue to present their viewa Thursday night, f BUYERS ARE NEEDED Appeal Made to Small Inves tors to Take Bonds.

Applications for a share in Ben Sell ing's patriotic philanthropy were re coived yesterday by scores, and Mr. Selling reported that one Portland em ployer, whose name he withheld, has arranged with him to direct every one of his employes to Mr. Selling for the purchase of bonds. At a meeting of the committee of the. whole, the Portland School Board reached a definite determination to in vest $302,000 of its bonded indebtedness and insurance funds in the -liberty loan. The plan was first broached several days ago by Director Sommers, of the finance committee, who pointed out that the money is now drawing but 2 per cent, that the investment would be both safe and expedient, and that the bonds could be liquidated at the Federal Re serve Bank at any time should the cash be needed. Arrangements will be made, when the purchase is carried . out, whereby teachers of the Portland schools may participate in the investment, purchas ing the bonds from the school district on the installment plan. Soldier Invest 6004. The Oregon division of the Travelers' Protective Association has directed cir culars to its members, urging them to participate in the purchase of bonds. Application blanks are inclosed with the letter and officials of the association said yesterday that they are confident of' liberal responses. "Let's not be slackers," pleads the circular,, prepared by President Sulli van and Secretary Evans. "Let's show the Kaiser that the American people have sufficient patriotism to subscribe every dollar necessary to win the war." At headquarters yesterday informa tion was received that Fifth Company, Oregon Coast Artillery, mustering 90 men. stationed .at Fort Stevens, had taken just 10 minutes to "Subscribe over $6000. Similar is the case of the Fourteenth Infantfy. which furnished an escort and military band for Secretary Mc Adoo when he visited Portland. E. D. Timms. .of Portland, had been assigned to stir the liberality of the enlisted men. He talked at length, while his uniformed listeners smiled enigmat ically. Lad Buya $.V Bond. The meaning of the smile was re vealed when Mr. Timms, his last ora torical shaft feathered and sped. learned that over 70 per cent of the Engineers' Regiment at Vancouver Barracks, already owned liberty bonds. Gilbert Sussman. 12 years old, of 211 Pennoyer street, worked in his father's shoe store during vacation and saved $50, and few dimes more. Yesterday he invested the major part of his wealth in' a liberty bond, and "the kids" who attend eighth grade at Fail ing Schopl are openly envious of Gil bert's aptitude at both finance and practical patriotism. Despite the early-and-late regime at liberty loan headquarters, the work accumulates in mountains. Faced with this situation the committee called into active service Henry E. Reed, who starred in the leadership of the city Campaign during the Red Cross drive. For several days Mr, Rd will serve 13 lbs.
