"Where's your button?" will be the
pertinent question of the last day but

bought bonds to meet their opportunity.
By an aftermath that kicked like an
army mule, the Annette Kellerman
bond selling stunt netted $28,600 in
stead of $8600. as previously announced.
John L. Etheridge. state director of or
ganization, having volunteered to match
bond for bond all subscriptions made
at the fair Annette's rally, was "called
by the firm of Walling & Waller, who
suggested that they had $10,000 to in
vest in bonds.
"Taken," said the- willing Mr. Ethe
ridge. and $20,000 joined the golden
treasury of Portland's quota.
Industrial plants are beginning to
make their participation in the victory
loan quota felt, according to subscrip

Roberson, who is in charge-of that
bureau of the city campaign.

plants in the field, the total of actual

TOTAL NOW $1,296,999,000
With but two days of active cam
paigning left to the city forces, two
days in which tardy patriots may ful
fill their duty and redeem the state
of Oregon from failure, the victory
loan quota drive confronts a deficit of
approximately $4,000,000.
The most Insistent note of the cam
paign, coming at the closing hour? is
That no citizen should permit those two
days to pass without having enrolled
in the victory loan quota, bearing his
just share of the cost of victory and
peace.
Volunteer Subscriptions Urged.
"If the solicitors have not called,"
urge the loan leaders, "do not wait for
them. Go to victory hut today, or. to
any Portland bank, and buy victory
bonds in proportion to your means and
your faith in America."
Twenty-four Portland citizens,, lead
ers in financial and business circles,
carried the Portland quota far forward
at a spontaneous meeting yesterday
afternoon, when they pledged $1,122,
600 to the victory drive. With previous
investments in the victory issue, these
men multiplied their subscriptions, the
total of their participation standing at
$2,049,000, or approximately one
seventh of the entire city quota.
Bis; Subscribers Respond Well.
"The big subscribers have borne their
share of the quota," declared City
Chairman Olmstead. "They have done
all within their power to place Port
land and Oregon in pre-eminence. In
the two days that remain, it is obvi
ously the duty of the smaller investor,
able to subscribe from $10,000 to $50,
to meet the issue and save the state
from failure. There never bas been a
liberty loan campaign in which the
larger investors responded so heavily.
We can ask no more of them. All must
do their share."
Though the $1,122,000 pledged yes
terday by tbe patriotic 24 is as good as
secured, it' cannot be counted in the
official totals until solicitors have time
to call upon the subscribers and close
the subscriptions. Aside from this, the
city campaign yesterday produced
$1,151,100 in new subscriptions, makin
a total of $10,902,400, and leaving a
deficit of $3,883,925 in the $14,786,325
quota.
Business Men Rally.
The sudden impetus to the local drive
came yesterday afternoon, when City
Chairman Olmstead and Sales Manager
Van Duzer called a rally of prominent
business men, in the blue room of the
Hotel Portland, and placed before them
with convincing emphasis the serious
condition of the loan drive In the city-
which is holding Oregon back from
winning first place in the Pacific coast
district, and third place in the national
free-for-all.
The response was in keeping with
the spirit of the call. Though nearly
every man present had previously in
vested heavily in victory bonds, they
vied one with another in meeting tha
emergency. In victory headquarters,
when the results were made known,
the tired sales staff freshened and took
new hope.
"These men have played their parts,"
said Willis K. Clark, city executive
secretary. "Though the fight is not
won, there is more than a chance for
finishing the drive on Saturday night,
if all Portland will answer as they
have."

The women's victory loan committee.
whose task it has been to canvass the
entire residence district of the city, has
issued, through its city chairman, Mrs.
Charles E. Curry, an appeal for volun

before Saturday.
"Two days before the opening of the
victory loan drive there was entrusted
to the women's liberty loan committee
the herculean task of finding captains
and starting out teams of solicitors in
the 260 residence precincts out of a
total of 300 precincts in the crty," said
Mrs. Curry last night.
The task has been accomplished.
Practically every precinct in the city
has been provided with a captain; but,
owing to the shortage of time allotted
for finding them, many of them have
only just been selected. Consequently,
in a number of the residence precincts
of the city teams of solicitors are start
ing out for the first time today or will
start tomorrow. These freshly organ
ized teams will work as fast and as
faithfully as possible during the two
days now decided upon for the closing
of the loan, in an effort to canvass ev

however, in the residence districts of
town who may not have been reached
by Friday night is requested to turn in
his subscription on Saturday.
"A splendid example of patriotism is
reported by the women's committee
from the Good Samaritan hospital. Ex
clusive of the nurses and management,
the employes working about the build
ing and grounds have subscribed $3500
toward the victory loan. These sub
scribers numbered many Chinamen and
other foreigners."
MOSIER RECEIVES HONOR FXiAG
Quota Subscribed in Three Days
After Campaign Opens.
MOSIER. Or., May 1. (Special.)
While Mosier was the first community
in the twelfth federal reserve district
to receive the first honor flag in the
third liberty loan campaign, it again
displayed its loyalty and patriotism by
subscribing to the victory loan without
any solicitation from the executive
board and consequently was awarded a
victory honor flag, which was received
today by A. W. Ehrlich, chairman of the
local committee, from State Director
John L. Etherldge, accompanied by a
letter of congratulation.
The quota of $11,250 was oversub
scribed within three days after the
campaign opened and at the present
time bas reached $14,000, with volun
tary subscriptions still coming in.
PORTLAND EFFORT DEMANDED
State Executive Manager in Loan
Drive Pleads for All Oregon.
State Manager Smith, of the victory
oan drive, last night issued the follow
ing appeal:
'While Portland is mistress of her
own fate, she must remember that she
s the metropolis of Oregon and has no
right to disgrace the state.
'Every other town and county fin
ished its task days ago. Portland alone
is failing in her duty, and this failure
is bringing shame to all Oregon.
'Though it is now too late for Port
land to maintain her leadership in the
sisterhood of American sities, she still
can save Oregon from disgrace if she
will rally and finish the quota cam
paign at once.

The treasury today reported a
"quickened interest" in the victory lib
erty loan campaign. The treasury's
review said:
"The percentage of quota officially
subscribed still is below the percentage
of the fourth liberty loan subscribed
at the same period. There is a gradual
falling off in the average percentage
of quota subscribed, and workers are
at a Iobs to explain It. Every district
seems to. be hopeful that it will obtain
its quota, but none is overly optimistic"
In New England 214 communities
have oversubscribed.
The first trace committee to obtain
its quota in Chicago, the treasury an
nounced, included tbe brewers, distil
lers and tobacco dealers.
At the corresponding period of tbe
fourth . loan campaign subscriptions
amounted to $1,791,463,000, or 29.85 per
cent of the six-billion total.
"As a result of the somewhat disap
pointing situation," said a treasury
statement tonight, chairmen through
out the country are urging their work
ers on to greater efforts than ever
before -during the loan.
Minneapolis Is Second.
"They are making it clar that the
time for depending upon someone to
buy enough notes to make the loan a
success is past and that every man
and woman must do his or her full
duty now that peace is at hand, the
same as when the country was ac
tively engaged in war."
The only change of importance in the
percentage standing today was the
moving of Minneapolis district into
second place, while Chicago slid into
third position.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 1. Subscrip
tions to the victory liberty loan actually
in bank in the twelfth federal reserve
bank district tonight totaled $80,733.-
000, loan campaign headquarters an
nounced. This was an increase of
$6,082,450 over the subscription report
ed up to noon today. The district's
quota is $301,500,000.
San Diego Leads Coast.
San Diego was reported to be lead
ing Pacific coast cities in the percentage
of quota subscribed, taking first place
from Portland. The standing ot the
cities and their percentages were an
nounced as follows: San Diego 100,
Portlan 56. Alameda 52. Berkeley 50,
Seattle 37.1, San Jose 33, Fresno 31.

Subscriptions to date by major divis
ions in the twelfth federal reserve dis
trict were reported at noon today by

Northern California $18,578,000. Wash

zona $604,300 and Nevada $461,600.
Nearly 9000 Surgical and Medical
Cases Handled, Many- From St.
Mlhicl and the Argonnc.
During its six months of active serv
ice in France, stationed at hospital bar
racks only 40 miles from the fighting
front, three miles from a bombed town
and at a point where the "lights out"
signal was frequently given to herald
Hun air attacks that never material
ized, base hospital 46, the famous Ore
gon hospital unit, handled nearly 9000
surgical and medical cases.
Major William H. Skene, chief of
surgical service of the unit, has re
turned home with this and much other
interesting information relative to the
doctors, nurses and "medic" doughboys
from Oregon who rendered such signal
service to the American forces in
France. Major Skene, who Is once
more Dr. Skene, spent yesterday ad
justing himself to his "civies" and
new quarters in the Stevens building,
but the duties of readjustment did not
deter him from dropping everything to
pay tribute to his cc workers, boys and
girls over there."
Nearly (MOO Cases Handled.
"Yes, we handled nearly S0O0 cases
from July 19, 1918. to January 1. 1919,
asserted Major Skene, "and we were
only one cf eight hospitals in a medi
cal center at Bazoilles-sur-Meuse. Our
first convoy of patients was 200 strong.
That was on July 23. Two days later
we received 520 patients within six
hours. Many of our cases were from
St. Mihiel and the Argonne, and. com
paratively speaking, we had few cases
severe abdominal wounds or head
njuries.
'Fractures of all sorts gave us many
patients and Major Richard Dillehunt
and his nurses should be given great
redit for the manner in which they
andled these cases. Captain Laurence
Selling was neurologist in charge of the
mental cases resulting from shell shock
and other creators of nervous disorders
and did fine work. Then, too. we
treated more, than 500 cases of gas
poisoning, chiefly sufferers from mus
tard gas as well as nearly 200 pneu
monia patients."
Oppor-tnnl tlca for Practice Many.
While the large number of patients
t one time in October totaling 1644,
with their various wounds and diseases,
gave a splendid opportunity for study
and practice of both medicine and sur
gery, the organization of hospital teams
for work at the front gave many mem
bers of the unit an opportunity to go
nder fire to practice first aid surgery.
Major Skene takes exception to
the oft-repeated assertion that the
war made the Yank "hard boiled." In
fact he studied the American soldier
n delirium, with thoughts bared to
nurses and doctors, and instead of
profanity nearly always the babbling
was of mother, father, or sweetheart.
Major Skene's diary of the 46th 8
itinerary reads something like this:
To Camp Lewis, April 5. 1018.
Left Camp Lewis May 31.
To Camp Merritt June 5.
Left Camp Marritt June It.

they should conceive of any such notion
is beyond our conception.
"The Liberty temple was donated to
Portland by the various unions, and
prominent people took part in its con
struction. One of its main purposes
was to be a place for Oregon's returned
heroes to visit and see what had been
done for them. Would it be right now
to take it from its present resting
place to some other part of the city.
even though the move may only be ten
feet or less, before all our boys are
back? We think not.
"There are several batteries, engineer
companies and former national guard
units that left Oregon almost two years
ago, and it is for them that we want
the building left where it is. They
ought to be treated the same as the
other boys who have already received
their honorable discharges."
The meeting yesterday adopted a res
olution which urged "that the Liberty
temple on its present site of Sixth and
Yamhill street, be retained until all Ore
gon men have been returned from 'the
service of the United States and at least
one year from date." The resolution
will be sept to Mayor Geo-ge L. Baker
today and he will be asked for assist
ance in keeping the structure intact.

Sirs. Alexander Thompson Asks Sup
port of Measure to Raise Teach
ers' Salaries.
Following the custom for the week
of all the luncheon clubs in Portland,
the Progressive Business Men's club
held a miniature victory loan drive at
the Benson botel at noon yesterday and
had rolled up a total of $22,000 In sub
scriptions for bonds when the session
closed.
The speaker of the day was Mrs.
Alexander Thompson, who appealed to
the members in behalf of the teachers'
salary measure, which is to be voted
on May 10. Mrs. Thompson declared
that Portland's school taxes now are
lower than those of most of the cities
in the state and that they have do
creased about 16 per cent since 1913.
A 1.7 mill increase will take care
of the teachers' salaries," she said,
"and it is a matter of business judg
ment for the taxpayers of the city to
provide for salaries that will make it
possible for Portland to retain its
teachers Instead of losing them to
other cities and to other lines of ac
tivity."
J- G. Tate, speaking from the floor,
urged the importance of making it
clear to the public that the school
board will have the apportionment of
the fund if it is voted, and that the
sentiment is in favor of using it. in a
large measure to bring up the salaries
which are quite below the actual cost
of living at this time.
Joseph W. Beveridge spoke on the
qualifications for voting at the elec
tion, and called attention especially
that if one's name does not appear on
the assessment roll, but he holds stock
in a taxpaying organization whose
name does appear he is entitled to vote
at the school election.
' The Defenders of the Rose," one of
the songs submitted for the official
song of the Rose Festival, written by
C. R. Moore, was sung before the club
by Lulu Dahl Miller. Other Rose Fes
tival songs will be presented at the
luncheon next week.

MEASURES DP TO COUNCIL
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
BE OUTLINED TODAT.
TO
If
Approved, Reconstruction Bills
Will Be Referred to Voters at
Election June 3.
Reconstruction measures which will
be presented to the voters for appro
val at the special election on June 3
will be designated at a meeting called
by Mayor Baker for this afternoon.
Mr. Mann, as commissioner of public
utilities, is already empowered to issue
bonds for Improvements needed by the
city water bureau. He is planning on
mprovemcnts aggregating $500,000, but
will have no measures on the ballot, he
says.
Commissioner Barbur is undecided as
to what measures he will present to the
voters. He had planned on one meas
ure, which if passed would have al
lowed payment for the construction of
main trunk sewer systems and main
traveled highways from the general
fund, but this plan did not meet with
the unanimous approval of the City
Council and probably will not be presented.
Mayor Baker's reconstruction quota
is about $500,000 of bonds to be used
in the payment for labor and materials
used in the construction of community
houses in various parts of the city, rest
stations in some of the parks, and
other needed improvements.
Remodeling of the City Hall at a
cost of about $150,000 is proposed by
City Commissioner Perkins. This im
provement, he contends, is necessary
to avert the erection of a new City
Hall.
Erection of new fire stations and
docks for the fireboats comprises the
measure which will be offered by City
Commissioner Bigelow. The estimated
cost of these improvements is $200,000.
