GOD

HON
AND
TURK NOT OUR GOD"
Teuton Inflamed by Faith
That Transcends Life,
Says Dr. Lovejoy.
TELLING APPEAL IS MADE
Portland Physician Who Has Seen
Horrors of War in Europe Urges
Women of America to Do
t Their Full Duty.
f BY LEONE CASS BAER.
Make no mistake. Dr. Esther Clayson
iLovejoy isn't seeing interviewers just
tfor the idle pleasure of being showered
with airy publicity and congratulation
or fulsome praise over the interesting
adventures that have been claiming her
attention in war-drenched Europe,
'where for many months she was an
active participant in big activities. She
has returned to her home city, Portland,
for a needed rest of one month.. She
Js one of the busiest women in America
today. She has a message, a stirring
appeal, to awaken us to our duties,
fche resents what she calls the. "camou
flage of business."
"If a woman has her picture taken
riding on a harvester or a cultivator or
driving a plow or an automobile, she
should be able to drive the thresher, or
work the harvester or plow, says Dr.
ILovejoy. "France needs trained women,
but the woman who stays at home and
raises her babies is doing America the
biggest military service. When a
woman gives her son for war she has
made her supreme gift to her Govern
ment. She and her husband have given
years of labor and love and sacrifice in
bringing that son to manhood. That
is the fundamental military duty ' of
women. If she has no son to give, her
next military duty is to look after her
home and -the needs of her man, to care
for him and make him of use to his
country. lots of women who think
they are doing war service are fooling
themselves. The woman who is taking
m'ore from her country today than she
Is grv-ing, is a slacker. She is a con
sumer and a waster. The process of
determining is easy. Simply take a
pencil and paper and balance what you
are receiving from your country with
what you are giving. The woman who
can put down two or three children
Oras audited her account gloriously.
Her's is the greatest military gift."
Doctor Hu Seen Much.
Dr. Lovejoy returned yesterday from
a lecture tour which has engaged all
her time since last February, when she
landed in New York from France. As
delegate from the Medical Women's
National Association she was author
ized by its war service committee to
make a tour through Europe to find
out what American medical women
could do to help the physicians already
there. She established bureaus of ad
vice, dispensaries, and gave of her per
sonal service in administering to the
wounded and physically unfit, devot
ing most of her time to the care of lit
tle children who had suffered at the
hands of the Hun.
"I wish every man and woman in
America could spend one day in France
and see what I have seen," she said.
"This apathy, this woeful ignorance of
what is going on over there, this crim
inal blinding of eyes to the horrors of
this war would stop, and everyone
would do his share. We are fighting
for life, for liberty, and more than the
pursuit of happiness. . We are fighting
for ideals, for religion. The God of the
Hun and the Turk is not our God. We
are fighting through loyal labor for
that which our immortal Declaration
of Independence declared to be the in
alienable right of free people. We are
paying in blood for the freedom of our
whole lives, physical, mental and
spiritual, to live our lives as the Crea
tor and not the Kaiser wills.
Huns Recosnlie Three Values.
"But the terrible Hun is inflamed by
a. faith that transcends life. He be
lieves he is m the right. It is my ob
servation mat the attitude of a Ger
man soiaier is that a French woman
should feel herself honored and for
tunately favored of God in bearing a
.tsocne cniia. i have wowed mostly
among the women and children refu
gees who have been sent back into
Irance because Germany has no need
ior mem. Children from 3 to 13 are
only an excess burden on Germany
and so are mothers with families.
They have no military value.
There are three great military val
ues in Germany fighting values, labor
values and breeding values.
"All the helpless and aged, all chil
dren from 3 to 14 and mothers of large
families come under one of theso three
divisions, and are returned as being of
no value to Germany. If a woman has
a baby under 3 years of age she is
kept in Germany, for the Hun figures,
and truly, that the baby is a Boche
baby.
"These are terrible truths. A girl of
J is sfnt back, but a girl of 16 is kept
for breeding purposes. I do not mean
immediate motherhood. I mean that a
girl of IS is held as an asset in Ger
many, and regarded as one regards a
healthy stock animal. A girl of 16 has
30 productive years ahead of her. No
one knows what happens to them. But
ve do know that if thousands of young
French women are kept in Germany
children will be born to them and the
children will be Huns.
War Hits Women Hardest.
"French mothers are wonderful
"women. They smile and look proud of
the boys they have given to France,
"but when they speak of their daughters
held by the Hun their tones are grief
racked; they speak of their daughters
as lost forever. That is why warfare
is much worse for women than for
men of any country," says Dr. Lovejoy.
"A man can only die, but a woman
ran live to become the mother of a
Hun. With a woman the evil goes on.
tShe can live to be the grandmother of
a family of Huns, and the tragedy con
tinues through the years. A woman
who loves her country can become an
enemy to that country because of her
military value as a breeder and the
mother of men.
"I do not want to be quoted as say
ing what any German says, or does or
thinks. These are my own opinions.
I know the German military values. I
make my own deductions. My travels
rarried me all over bleeding France as
n Rd Cross representative, and the
Red Cross has sent me back here, and
I will follow its call again to France.
I have listened to stories that would
fill books. I have seen the material
love of a French mother sheltering a
Boche baby at her breast, while her
other children, of a French father,
sneered at their German baby brother
in their mother's arms. That is the
horrible tragedy of the Boche baby.
Only a few mothers will forsake them.
As they arrive from Germany they are
each asked, "Do you want to leave your
Boche baby here? We will take care
of it." A few mothers give up the
babies. Most of them clasp the hapless
mites closer in frenzied mother-love
and say they cannot give them up. It
Is the call of motherhood.
"One highly intelligent woman car
rying a Boche baby in her arms told
me it was the price she had paid to a
German soldier for permitting her to
keep her three little French children
and her aged parents and to. fetch
them all into France. The fate of my
family depended on my attitude,' she
told me despairingly. It is always the
fate of the conquered woman to make
friends of the conqueror.
As;e Is Wonderful ' One.
"This age has done marvelous things.
Do you remember reading in history
where scientists used to take children
and by some process dwarf and warp
their bodies to make them puppets and
entertainers? It has remained for this
age to produce philosophers and sci
entists in Germany who reach down
through their system of education and
mould the minds of a nation of little
children in a plastic stage. They've
made indelible brain patterns and the
worst is they'll never change. The
Hun baby was moulded to be the fight
ing Hun of today, and of all days to
come. With them might is right. They
make good prisoners because they are
trained from the cradle to obey the
voice of authority."
Dr. Lovejoy laughs at the statements
credited to her in various Eastern pub
lications at the time Of her addresses
in Chicago, when she was first back
from the war zone.
"I was simply misquoted," she says.
"I have no quarrel with the news
papers. They are my good friends. But
I think tha misstatements arose from
printing only parts of various remarks.
each of which held a grain of truth
and assembling the whole into an
amazing story. For instance, I ' am
supposed to have said that the women
of the United States were going around
in high heeled shoes, unheeding the caK
of their French sisters and wanting to
be entertained by the story of the war
and that women of America are loafers
Can you imagine any sane sensible
woman saying that? It's too absurd
on the face of "It and almost too foolish
to dignify by discussing, but I do want
Portlanders to know what I said. My
exact words, about the loafers were
these:
DEFENSE HAS INNING
Witnesses Declare Mrs. Faling
Bright and Rational.
EXPERTS TO TESTIFY SOON
Loafer Statement Recalled.
" 'I'm glad we have an anti-loafing
law, but I am disappointed in this
respect, that it does not include women.
America has women loafers as well
as loafer men."
"That's exactly what I said, and I
think nearly every one will agree with
me that it's true. The line about the
high heels was picked high and dry
out of a list of comparisons I was mak
ing about the training various women
have had and the amazing potential
energy and wonderful achievements
that are made by women in every walk
of life, from the working girl to the
one-time social butterfly who has laid
aside her high heels for serious steps.
"As to the other quotation, that over
here we wanted to hear stories of the
conflict, I said that some people, mind
you, some people, prefer to be enter
tained rather than pained. I repeat it.
I have seen them squirming in their
seats and shudder at a recital of the
brutality and brutal horrors of what's
going on over there, but they'll perk up
nd giggle If some one makes a joke
about the Kaiser's mustache or sings a
silly song about the war. These people
prefer to be entertained with the war,
not pained with it."
SIX SEEKING DIVORCE
. C. PETERS ALLEGES INFIDELITY
AS REASON FOR SEPARATION.
Rebuttal Testimony In Behalf of
Estate to Be Completed This
Week C. Lewis Mead De
nies Some Statements.
Three more witnesses were called
yesterday by John K. Logan, counsel
for the defense, to testify concerning
the mental condition of Xarifa Jane
Failing, whose $600,000 estate; given to
C. Lewis Mead and Thomas N. Strong,
is being contested on the ground that
she was not in possession of her facul
ties when she signed the will.
Among the witnesses was Edward F.
Joost, who has been employed at the
Labbe building since 1886. He said that
he saw Mrs. Faling last in May, 1916,
a year after her will hd been signed,
and in his opinion she was normal men
tally, but very weak physically. He
said they discussed old times and she
frequently referred to Mr. Strong as
the "president." Why she Mid this Mr.
Joost did not say. Although he had not
called on Mrs. Faling for two years
and had never seen her during that
time, prior to the Imperial Hotel visit,
he spent two hours and a half with
her then, but never called again.
Keen Mentally Says Witness.
Another witness was A. W. Kahrs.
who knew Mrs. Faling from 1909 to
1913, and had found her to be a bright
woman and of keen mentality. He
added that Mrs. Faling. in 1913. passed
him frequently on the street without
recognizing him. but he attributed this
to her physical condition. A. R. Arnes
also knew her during these years, and
said that he found her to be both ra
tional and intelligent. He admitted
that he did not know of her trip to
Irvington or anything about the nurses
who constantly attended her.
The rebuttal testimony in behalf or
the estate will probably be completed
this week, according to counsel for the
estate. A number of witnesses will
then be called in behalf of the contest
ants, according to Coy Burnett, of coun
sel for W. Tyler Smith.
Mead Denies Testimony.
Mr. Mead, under direct examination
yesterday, denied testimony previously
given by Mrs. Katherine Becker to the
effect that she was given to. under
stand by him that Mrs. Faling had
named her in the will. Mrs. Becker
testified that such a conversation took
place at San Francisco in the Fall of
1915, while Mr. Mead yesterday testi
fied that he was in San Francisco in
March, and was not in California at all
during the Fall of that year.
The case was continued until this
afternoon. A number of medical ex
perts will next be called for expert tes
timony regarding insanity.

alleging infidelity, asserts he permit
ted his wife to travel for a month with
Homer P. Ford, a Portland forger now

support money for the children.
Gladys Swain asks divorce from Joe
Swain, who, she says, is serving a six
month sentence in the County Jail for
a statutory offense. They were married

my former wife," are the words which
George Wilson frequently used, asserts
Drusilla Wilson in her plea for a di
vorce. William J. Johnstone is charged
with habitual drunkenness by Fannie
Johnstone, nee Parsons.
Viola Morgan, nee Seol, in a divorce
suit filed yesterday says she is unable
to determine whether her present name
is Morgan or Williams. After marry
ing Robert Morgan at Vancouver in
February, 1917. she says she learned
later that he was an ex-convict out on
parole from the state penitentiary,
where he was sent for forgery under
the name of Paul Williams. His parole
has since. been canceled.

tion of the Fourth of July will be con
sidered this afternoon by the executive
