Just announced, show that Portland is asked to provide 1300,000 aa Its share in maintaining the multi farious activities of the seven great organizations that care for the Ameri can soldier boys, during the next few months. From up-state counties $470,000 is to be obtained. This includes .6050 for Multnomah County outside oil Port land. In this city there is a sepa rate organization headed by Ben Sell ing as chairman. Dr. H. C. Fixott, of Portland, will direct the drive in the outside districts of Multnomah County, Severn Drives Combined. -Campaign leaders point to several considerations showing that the quotas Oregon people are asked for in this cause are remarkably light. In the first place, the united drive combines what otherwise might be seven sepa rate calls of the soldier-service bodies tho Y. M. C A.. Y. W. C. A.. Knights of Columbus. Jewish Welfare Board, Camp Community Service, American Library Association and Salvation Army. They call attention also to the fact that the campaign Is to pro vide funds for these seven organiza tions for several months and that those wntributlng may. if they wish, pledge payments extending over this time. During the cold months now com inff for the American soldiers the serv ices the various ministering agencies provide in the way of hot drinks, com fortable huts and diverting entertain ments are doubly needed. This will be the first Winter for the, American boys at the front and it is taken for granted that the folks at home will be glad to make them as comfortable as pos sible. County Quotas Announced.

In RISE IS 530,000 II MONTH STREETCAR MEX' WILL GET SUB STANTIAL BENEFIT. Word as to Increased Wage for Oth er Employes of Company Await ed by President Griffith. - Until complete reports are available from Washington. L. C. where the question of wages for streetcar em ployes In Portland was passed upon this week by the War Labor Board. Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Com pany, is reticent to make a statement as to the probable effect of the de cision upon his company. He received official notice yesterday morning that a decision had been handed down af fecting men on the city lines and es- Imated that the increase may amount o 30.000 per month, based on press dispatches received Thursday. Mr. Griffith said he had received no nstructlons as to what increase had been granted men in the mechanical department, but expressed the belief that the total increase might aggre gate $35,000 a month for both plat form men on city lines and in the me- hanlcal department. There are pending before the War La bor Board the applications of passen ger and freight motormen and conduc tors on lnterurban lines, 150 In num ber, and of 450 men in the electrical department. Mr. Griffith has not been notified yet that a decision has been reached in these two matters. Actress Admits Taking $1000 Postal Certificates and $70 in Gold From Hotel Room.

One means by which they obtained money, she said, was to in vite men to her apartment and serve them with liquor. After all had be come more or less intoxicated, she said, Vallanie, who also was present as a guest, would leap to his feet, throw down a roll of bills on the floor and exclaim: "All that for tha beautiful Gladie! Jf I had $10,000 I would give it as freely! Miss Valles said the other guests would frequently throw down dona tions, which she piqued up and pocket ed. If they did not, the girl told po lice. Vallanie would reproach them with stinginess, almost always with the result that the guests contributed. After the party, she said, she shared the profits with Vallanie. Miss Valles said the original plan of the burglary in the Sargent Hotel was for her to entertain Marklch while a third person, for whom the police are looking, went over and robbed the room. The third man lost courage and reported the plan to Markich. The whole party was frightened when they heard of this. Miss Valles says Val lanie wanted to flee to San Francisco, but had not the money. Miss Valles says that at this Junc ture she enlisted the aid of Miss Fitz Henry, and they decided to rob Markich themselves. Miss Valles is a small girl, with a shock of red hair, bushy like a Ha waiian s.
