American Soldiers, Lying Wounded
in France, Appeal for Articles
Essential to Their Care.
V-
JH'LTSOMAH GUARD TO MEET
FOR SPECIAL SERVICE.
In accordance with the order
of Lewis P. Campbell. Colonel
commanding, the following com
panies of the Multnomah Guard
will report at the Armory at 8
P. M. Saturday for special serv
ice in the Red Cross linen drive:
Headquarters Companies A, B,
C, ID, E, F. (i and H. Machine
Gun Company, Transport Com
pany, Hospital Detachment, Com
missary and band, field and staff
officers report to the Colonel;
non-commissioned staff to the
Adjutant.
' American soldiers are lying wounded
in lied Cross hospitals in France, ap
pealing day and night for linen bath
towels, hand towels, bed sheets and
handkerchiefs.
The American Red Cross is appealing
to the people of the country to give
these needed articles from their home
supplies in order that the demand
might be met. '
Portland's quota is 37,500 pieces. To
date but 7000 pieces of linen have been
offered. The drive closes Tuesday
night.
Under official proclamation of Mayor
Baker yesterday forbidding the opera
tion of theaters, schools, churches and
other public meetings, the most potent
means of reaching the people have been
etopped. Mrs. Ferdinand E. Reed,
chairman of the Red Cross linen drive
in Portland, determined last night that
heroic measures must be adopted. She
Bought and procured assistance from
the Multnomah Guard.
Under orders of Colonel Lewis P.
Campbell, and with the official sanc
tion of Mayor Baker, the Multnomah
Guard tomorrow night will endeavor to
help Portland attain her quota through
sl personal house-to-house campaign for
linen articles. This organization of
business and professional men who
have never yet turned down an appeal
for assistance, will work until a. late
hour tomorrow night knocking at the
doors of Portland housewives and deliv
ering a message from the wounded sol
diers in France a four-word message
which says "We must have linen."
Residents of the city are urged by
Red Cross officials to turn over as
much linen as possible to these eoldier-"-iolicitors
tomorrow night. They are
braving the Spanish influenza epidemic
that they might succeed in giving the
needed assistance to the American sol
diers in the Red Cross hospitals in
France.
Pupils of the Portland Public Schools
yesterday were given the message from
the soldiers of France by the teachers
of the various grades and arrangements
were made to have them bring linen
articles to the schools this morning.
Because of the Mayor's orders closing
the schools, arrangements were made
last night whereby janitors will be
at all school buildings to receive the
packages from the pupils.

DR. JORDAN MAKES DENIAL
Educator Brands Recent Charges of
Taconia Man as False.
Dr. David Starr Jordan telegraphed
to Portland friends yesterday to pos
itively deny that he had made any
claim of representing the Administra
tion in addresses during his recent lec
ture tour. The charge was made by
Maurice Langhorne, of Tacoma, that
the distinguished educator had made
euch claim in his address in that city,
which was severely criticised by the
four-minute men of that city. The
statement telegraphed to Washington
brought a statement from Secretary
McAdoo Wednesday to the effect that
no authority had been granted to Dr.
Jordan to speak for the Administration.

When first returns were marked up

believed they were the first divisions
in the United Slates to reach this mark.
