. i cAnTiis u y nearly
$15,000,000 the $35,000,000 goal
set at the beginning of the cam-
paign on November 12.
I President Wilson, on being in-
J formed that the fund was greatly
i oversubscribed, telegraphed con
gratulations to Dr. John R. Mott,
general secretary of the council.
"My heartfelt congratulations
on the remarkable and gratify
ing results," the President's tele
gram read. "I think lt Is a Na
tional blessing."
A. H. Whitford, National direc
tor, announced that the final fig
ures may exceed $50,000,000. He
congratulated the 300.000 work
ers and declared that the urgent
appeal of George W. Perkins,
chairman of the finance commit
tee, brought overwhelming re
sults. 1.. ..... 4
"Were it not for the fact that the
workers are not with us and their tasks
have been completed one might easily
believe the campaign was still in
progress," said C. N. Wonacott of the
Young Men's Christian Association last
night. This, he said, because of the
fact that contributions are continuing
to come into headquarters totaling up
to close of business yesterday $226,500.
or $26,500 above the minimum quota of
tne city.
"We are still hearing from churches.
schools and other organizations," said
-nr. wonacott. "it was a wonderful
drive and many Instances were re
corded showing the deep Interest in
the work.
Mr. Wonacott last night told this
story to show how deeply some felt
about the giving of funds for the boys
at the front. This boy dug a sack of
potatoes after school hours, and after
great effort managed to get the sack
Into position on his bicycle and took
it td headquarters.
Boy Calls for Help.
"The sack was too heavy for him to
carry up the steps of our building
alone," said Mr. Wonacott, "so he came
in and asked me If I would help him.
He told of his hard work and expressed
the hope that it would help some. His
spirit was commendable in the highest
degree and typifies the general senti
ment prevailing.
"There were other similar cases, such
as high school girls going without new
gowns, high school boys going without
new overcoats and one woman who has
been an invalid for years sent in a sub
stantial contribution.
"One girl wrote In Inclosing a check
from Oregon City. She said her brother
had written her from France saying:
'For God's sake,' if you ever have a
chance to help the Y. M. C. A., do it.'
The fact is, this drive was made a suc
cess because of being supported by the
people from the humble riverfront
dwellers to the mansions on the hill.
There were a great many small, but
few large contributions, showing that
practically everyone participated.
Thanks Given Workers.
"As manager of the city campaign, I
wish to take this opportunity to ex
press our appreciation for every con-
ribution and I also wish to thank the
workers who so faithfully have given
freely of their time and talents to make
the drive such a great success."
First installment 20 per cent of the
contributions will be due December
1. It is the hope of the local officers
of the organization that sufficient
checks will be received to enable the
association to forward to New York
headquarters $75,000 at once.
E. H. Thompson, manager of the
drive in that portion of Multnomah
County east of the Sandy River, re
ports the following sums collected In
five school districts out of the nine in

RATE HEARING TO START
REASONABLENESS OF PROPOSED
SCHEDULES IS ISSUE.
Figures Submitted by Railroads to In
terstate Commerce Commission, to
Be Analysed In Detail.
Before Attorney-Examiner Thurtell,
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, hearings on the transcontinental
freight rates will be started in the Fed
eral building this morning at 9 o'clock.
Northwest railroads and shippers will
be represented by attorneys and. rate
experts.
The hearing is held in Portland to
give an opportunity for all persons In
terested to make a showing on the
reasonableness of the rates as compiled
by the railroads and submitted to the
Interstate C.ommerce Commission in
compliance with the order of the Com
mission that rates to Coast terminal
points generally be advanced.
This order was made when-the Inter
state Commerce Commission found
there was no longer Justification for
lower rates on transcontinental freight
to Coast terminal points than to inter
mediate points because water competi
tion, the basis for the originally lower
Coast rates, no longer existed, due to
war conditions, which removed avail
able tpnnage.
After the order was made, the rail
road representatives met in Chicago
and. prepared a check of the rates and
decided what thye could do in meeting
the order. These figures then were
submitted to the Commission for ap
proval, so authority could be had to
publish them.
It was decided then by the Interstate
Commerce Commission t,o hold hear
ings In Chicago, San Francisco and
Portland before passing finally upon
them, so that the proposed rates could
be analyzed In detail and an opportun
ity be given to all who wanted to be
heard. Then the Commission will de
cide whether to go ahead with the pro
posed rate changes.

Premier, Now In London, Cables State
ment Calling for Support
of War.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Eliptherl
cus Venizelos. the Greek Premier, now
In London for the lnter-allied confer
ence, issued a statement today to the
Greeks of America, It was received
here by cable as follows:
"It was impossible for Greeks living
amidst the most liberal democratic
people of the world not to loathe the
political dogma of Prussian militarism.
The Greeks espouse the Ideas of free
dom so brilliantly expressed by Ameri
ca's great citizen, President Wilson.
"United Greece is faithful to the
compact entered Into with the allies
and this unity is not Impaired by mis
chievous, isolated rumors and the do
ings of a few organs which in some
parts of the world continue to serve
the fallen regime. We will now re
conquer those Macedonian provinces
which a treacherous policy handed to
our enemies.
"I am sure that the vigorous American-Hellenism,
which during the Bal
kan wars helped greatly fighting
Greece, will continue to play its part
through this critical period. Hellenism
must not forget that only if it has a
deep consciousness of its obligations
to itself will it be able to establish the
new Greece on a firm foundation to
take its honorable place In the as
sembly of nations."
Department of Justice officials to
day began Investigating reports that
concerted efforts had been made to in
fluence naturalized Greeks of the Dis
trict Ojf Columbia against joining the
new National Guard being organized
In Washington. Adjutant-General J. A.
Dapray, commanding the district mili

CHICKEN POX GERM FOUND
Sheridan Doctor Tells of Important
Discovery.
SHERIDAN. Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.)
Announcement was made today by
J. Randolph Barr, a practicing physi
cian of Sheridan, of the isolation of the
chicken-pox germ, following a series of
experiments in his laboratory here.
This is. he asserts, the first time the
germ has ever been Isolated and the
importance of the d'scovery lies in the
relation of the chicken-pox germ to the
smallpox germ, and the stepping stone.
This discovery will be the isolation
of the smallpox germ, which will then
provide a preventative vaccine. The
chicken-pox germ was found to be an
anaroble germ of the streptococcus
series. It would not take ordinary
stains and would not stain by the or
dinary methods. The opportunity for
the study of the germ came to Dr. Barr
when his little son. Cluff. became ill
with chicken-pox. While the little fel
low was affected he conducted his ex
periments, with the result announced
today. Before making claims on sci
ence, Dr. Barr will carry the germ cul
ture to the complete stage of provf.

Board In Portland tomorrow. Secretary
Lea will file his annual report and turn
over to the Board $19,297.44. as cash on

Quality not Price
Makes the Shoe
We sell Hanan shoes for men and women
the best shoes in the world.
Hanan shoes have advanced less in price
than other shoes, and yet their superior qual
ity is unchanged.
Many shoes that formerly sold much below the
price of Hanan Shoes have been heavily advanced in
price, with no improvement in quality, therefore you
cannot now judge the value of a shoe by its price.
Rather than sell shoes, of inferior quality at pre
vailing; prices, we would not sell shoes at all but we
know Hanan Quality, and we offer Hanan Shoes in
full confidence that they are the cheapest shoes for
you to buy.

mendations, including one that the
Ho,rse Show, which Governor Withy
combe was Instrumental in establishing
at the 1916 fair, be re-established next
year. This feature proved an immense
drawing card, but was omitted from
the programme last September.
"It will be necessary to provide a
place for the show." said Secretary
Lea, "but I am anxious that it be put
on next year.
Repainting of all the buildings on tho
fairgrounds is another recommendation.
Oreater space is needed for the horti
cultural exhibit. Secretary Lea sees
a way to meet this need by placing
the art department and the textile In
dustries department under the roof
now covering the latter.
The total number of livestock shown
at the 1917 fair, not counting Juveniles,
was 4025, the report shows. This was
926 more than at the fair of the year
previous. All stock exhibits with the
exception of horses were in greater
numbers than ever before. The short
age In the exhibit of horses is account
ed for by the elimination of the night
horse shows. Figures covering livestock
exhibits are: Horses. 340 ;cattle. 727;
sheep. 286; swine. 1522; poultry, 1650.
"Our livestock show has been com
mented on in the livestock journals all
over the East and Middle West." Sec
retary Lea said. "Letters are coming
continually asking how we were ablu
to assemble livestock exhibits of the
quality shown and making further in
quiry relative to our methods.
"In agricultural machinery, particu
larly tractors, the exhibit was the larg
est ever held in the West. An incentive
was the Hooverizing idea, or that of
cutting down the expense of produc
tion." Secretary Lea makes glowing com
ment on the Indian exhibit, also claimed
to be the l;irircst yet shown.
