I have Just returned from vis iting Americans in front line trenches. Their spirit is inspir ing. Their appreciation of asso ciations already being operated under shell fire is unbounded. At the same time the principal criticism on every hand is that the American association in France is still inadequate, and material aid must be forthcom ing immediately, for thousands of American soldiers, during the coming cold Winter nights, will be turned away from our huts, because they are not large enough and numerous enough to accom modate all who wish to enter. 1 am confident America will fur nish all the money and workers necessary if parents at home realize that their men will knock at the doors of our huts in vain, if adequate funds are not avail able. K. C. Carter. The urgent need of strengthening the forces of the Y. M. C. A. in France, ltussia, Italy and other places as a means of helping to win the war and of carrying comfort and friendship to the American boys abroad, was empha sized Sunday morning in the churches of Portland. liven in the pulpits of Kpiscopal churches, where laymen rare ly are seen, speakers from the every day walks of life, fired with the zeal of the work and earnest in their belief cf its necessity, pleaded the cause of the Y. M. C. A. as a great means of saving the men who are offering their lives for the cause of democracy. A cablegram from E. C. Carter, Na tional secretary of the American asso ciations in France, sent to H. W. Stone, 1'ortland general secretary, urged the people of the West to realize the im portance of the work and the need of promptness in action. Mr. Carter re cently visited the front-line trenches and has seen how appreciative the sol diers are of the ministrations of the association operating under shell fire, lie has asked for money and workers enough to accommodate all the sol diers who should knock at the door of the Y. M. C. A. Army huts, so that none will be turned away. Clergy Appaln for Help. The concerted action of the clergy of the city in assisting so materially yes terday in advancing the cause came as a result of a meeting held on Friday night and presided over by Bishop Sumner. Pledge cards distributed in all tiie churches stated specifically that all the money on the pledge "goes di rect to military assdeiation war work and not one cent to the Portland Y. 2,1. C. A." "I hope that is plain enough for everyone," said Sir. Stone, in announ cing the plan for the use of the much needed funds. Mr. Stone gave a brief talk in the White Temple (First Baptist Church) and introduced as the speaker of the day Professor Norman F. Coleman, for merly of Reed College, but now con nected with the Army Y. M. C. A. at Camp Lewis. Professor Coleman ap peared as a substitute for the Rev. tl. W. Davis, of the Army Y. M. C. A., who was taken ill and admitted to th" hospital. Professor Coleman gave an earnest, sincere addresse, telling of his observations and of the work done in the Army camps by the Y. M. C. A. lie told of the educational, social and moral advantages offered by the asso ciation and of the great boon the "Y" buildings of Camp Lewis are to the men in service. Soctnl Welfare Important. "The deepest need of the Army is to strengthen in the enlisted men faith in something that abides," said Mr. Cole man. "The soldier is apt to think noth ing is worth while when he gets away from home ties and influences and sees the works of war, and it is to give him something abiding that the association carries on its activities. In the games and recreation he has an opportunity for self-expression. The work of the Y. JI. C. A. opens avenues for the ex pression of the best in the men. There 1; in them a chance for the recovery of poise as an individual. "The library and study classes afford opportunity for mental development. The books you people of Portland have sent to the camp, the boys have just eaten up.' The classrooms are filling fast and men are getting all the good then can. Physically, they are well cared for. The health, of the men In the United States Army Is being guard ed, and they are more secure in serv ice than they are in ordinary work. But it is their social and spiritual life that is important and that you and I must consider." High School Pupiln Lauded. Mr. Coleman gave a graphic descrip tion of the arrival arul departure of the many troops that come and go at Camp Lewis. He told of welcoming a body of men Saturday night. Just be fore he took the train for Portland to answer the hurry-up call as a speaker for the Baptist Church. "It was worth a fortune to see their faces light up when I gave them the card of welcome end told them that in the Y. Jr. C. A. buildings they could write their letters. lead and study, play games, have en tertainments and make themselves wel come," he declared. He then told what the Y. M. C. A. meant to the boys at the front and of its ministrations. M r. Stone followed "With a short talk, in which he com mended particularly the work of the 1'ortland high schools, which had been asked for $4000, and had thus far pledged $18,000. He asked the church people to heed that example. As a re eult hundreds signed the pledge cards. In the evening Professor Coleman again spoke, giving as his sermon ad dress "The Effect of the Y. M. C. A. Army Work in the World." He paid tribute also to the Knights of Colum bus and Hebrew Young Men's Associa tion. "GLORY OF TIIE GOSPEL" TOPIC Rev. T. F.

God has made himself known in human terms in the incarnation and shown a way by which a soul can, break away from its bondage to sin and come to its best. "The gospel has within it the forces that work toward moral and spiritual recovery. It is God's response to hu man needs. It quiets the troubled conscience, lead3 the soul into the presence of one who is everlastingly loving and lovable and offers us in terpretation of life that satisfies the heart and the intellect." PATRIOTIC SERMOX PLEASES "Winning Honorable Scars' Theme of Rev. Warren Morse In Morning. In his sermon at the Atkinson Jle morial Congregational Church yester day morning. Rev. Warren Morse chose for the topic of his sermon, "Winning Honorable Scars." It was a sermon with a patriotic theme running through out. He said in part: In contrast to his detractors Paul said, 'I bear branded on my body the marks of Jesus.' He was a good sol dier of Jesus Christ and had not flinched at hardship. Five times had he re ceived the 39 lashes, three times was he beaten with rods, once stoned, and three times shipwrecked. Paul was no slacker. He was in the forefront of the battle. His pet name for himself was 'Bondservant of Jesus Christ' His Master was one who de manded the best from his followers and himself led the way for others to follow. He was wounded for Our transgressions, bruised for our iniqul ties, the chastisement of our peace was upon him. It takes good stuff to make a good soldier for Jesus Christ. Why do we have the Ambulance Corps, the Red Cross, the skilled sur geons, the well trained nurses and the great hospitals?" he continued. "Because of the stream of men pour ins back from the trenches nipped by the sniper's bullet, suffocated by gas. bleeding from a bayonet thrust, sight less or armless from shrapnel. Yes, these are the men who bear in their bodies the marks of loyalty to .their country none can deny them. "Some bonds are evil sin, lust. hatred and none carrying such reach their full stature. Some are good the bonds of home, family, children, free country, the Church of Jesus Christ only in some such bonds can one at tain the full stature of manhood." EARLY DAYS ARE ' RECALLED Albany Educator Occupies Pulpit a Mount Tabor Presbyterian Church The celebration of the 25th annlver sary of the church was the occasion fo special services at the Mount Tabo Presbyterian Church yesterday. The morning sermon, "Th Joys of Publi Worship." was delivered by Presiden Wallace Lee, of the Albany College, whose father was a pastor in this church 25 years ago. At the beginning of his remarks, Mr. Leo went back to the days when his father was preaching out at Eardorf's Hall at Glencoe Sta tion. He said that in those days they id not have any chairs or stoves in the churches, but were content to sit n hard benches and be supplied with meager warmth by the aid of an oil stove. His father was rheumatic and could not sit on the benches, so had to preach while sitting on a soap box. Getting into the heart of his sermon. he said everything depends en our point of view. If a city merchant goes to the mountains on a hot day he would ex claim how cool and how beautiful it was, but if a lumberman went to the same place he would figure how many feet of timber there were. God's house is a place of joy," he declared. "It is because God speaks with the people there. It Is a place of joy because of the spiritual fellowship. When people come into public worship and fellowship their own lives are made lighter and they are given more pow ers. "It is also a place of Joy because it conforms to the demands of the con science," he continued. "It is a place where we feel at home because of con genial surroundings. God's children do not feel at home in places of vice. The church is our Father's home, so we feel at home there." He closed by saying that for 25 years this church had been accumulating his tory, tradition and power and that for the next 25 years they should be used to a greater advantage. At the night services Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Steele, former members of the church, but now missionaries in Bang kok, Siam, who are home on a year's furlough, were present and told of their experiences. 15 TAKEN IN BAKER RAID son urinic ana card Parlors Run by Ex-Saloonkeeper.

The Pacific International Livestock Kxposition will open this morning at the Union Stock Yards in North Port land with the largest entry list In Its history and with a general manifesta ion of increased Interest. The Shorthorn showing is the largest ever entered in the West, and the' en tries are said to be far above the aver age in many instances. Thq showing, in many respects, is as large as some of the international shows in Chicago, being Just four entries short of last year's international, which, is held to be the largest livestock show in the world.- Stockmen who have -taken a prelim inary glimpse of the exhibits say that the Hereford classes to be chosen at the local show cannot be surpassed anywhere in the country. Some of the Herefords on exhibition here have been shown at the leading livestock shows of America. The Aberdeen-Angus exhibit is not large, but those that are shown have been gathered together without regard to expense and represent the finest of their breed. Congdon & Battle's herd, of North Yakima, which is represented at the show, is as well known through out livestock centers of the East as here in the West. Svrtne Exhibit Is I.nrge. The swine exhibit is so large that additional room had to be made for it at the 11th hour. The breeds rep resented are Poland-Chinas, Berkshires, Duroc Jerseys, Chester Whites and Hampshires. The sheep section is also highly creditable. The breeders are all veterans in their lines and the care they have bestowed upon their exhibits produces a splendid showing. The dairy exhibit is not quite as large as that of last year, and this is especially true of the Guernsey and Jerey exhibits, but the Holstein exhibit is quite large, being nearly equal to that of last year. The chief interest in the Holstein division will be the sale on Friday. There will also be an Ayr shire sale on Wednesday afternoon. conducted by the Burbank Company, of 13 ui bank. Wash. Draft Horses Have Section. The lover of a staunch draft horse will spend much time in this division, which is certain to attract a great deal of attention.

The class and awards will be called by an announcer as soon as the decisions are announced. This aft ernoon will occur the judging of the cariols of fat cattle and swine ex hibits. Kotarlana to Attend Tomorrow. Tomorrow has been named Rotary Club day. and it is expected that mem bers of that organization will attend the show. In honor of the many exhibitors and owners who are making headquarters there, the Multnomah Hotel has deco rated the lobby and is exhibiting large papier-mache bull and a bucking horse. The bellboys appear as regular cowboys, wearing chaps and red hand kerchiefs, garters on their arms and everything as near the appearance of the real article as a buckaroo can be imitated. A touch of color was added to the scene, and one that created much favor able comment, when the Chinese ele vator boys went on duty at the Mult nomah yesterday clothed in their Ori ental robes. Women guests were so charmed with the appearance of the boys that it Is probable Manager Clou- tier will hereafter discard the regular uniform in favor of the Oriental garb Yamhill Breeders to Attend.

Ceylon or VISIOII GALLED NEED Dr. Stansfield Preaches on "Vision and Valor." "GODLESS WORLD UNKIND" "What Could Be Worse Than at 'Empty Heaven, a 'Soulless Earth?' " Preacher Asks First Slethodlst Church. "It is because America sees and has clear vision of what ought to be and what must be that she has thrown her self fully into the world crisis." said Dr. Joshua Stansfield of the First Meth odist Church, yesterday morning in his sermon on "Vision and Valor." "And unless our boys, too, and those who give them, see something more than the mmediate dust, discipline and labor of camp and field and trench, it will be hell indeed; but If they have vision to see the moral and eternal values, then n valor and service and sacrifice and achievement, they shall see more than mere numbers or units of men.

A world without God is not a good world; It is dark, austere, unkind.

'Twenty years ago we read this from Mr. Clifford, one who had been drawn by sfience and philosophy Into the loss of God: 'We have seen the Spring sun shine out of an empty heaven, upon a soulless earth, and have felt with utter loneliness that the great companion was dead.' Ah! what a sentence is that an empty heaven soulless earth . What could be worse? God gone and man but an 'organism in the great world order.

How the lot of allied prisoners may be lightened In the German prison, camps is told in the following letter from E. M. Cherry, of the British Vice Consulate, Astoria, Or., addressed to The Oregonian: "In your issue of November 17, cor respondence section, M. A.

"Ahe you receiving six parcels every month?" is followed by the penned reply, "Yes." The suggestion and promise, "Ask for anything you want and we will send if possible," elicited a truly Lritish wail. "Please send moro soap." The card was mailed In a German prison camp on August 12, li17. by J. Farquhar, whose number is 9911. NOTH ONCE GERMAN SPY Secret Service Makes Important Capture of Alien Enemy. CHICAGO. Nov. 18.
