SUBSCRIPTIONS TO CONTINUE
AT BANKS AND HEAD
QUARTERS.
For the convenience of those
who have not made their sub
scriptions to the victory loan, all
Portland banks will continue to
take subscriptions during the
coming week. Victory hut, at
Sixth and Morrison streets, will
also remain open for the taking
of voluntary subscriptions.
WlLXdS K. CLARK.
Executive Secretary of the Port
land Committee.
The liberty bell was eilent, the little
whippet tank remained inactive in Its
billet, the horse-drawn street car was
motionless in front of the deserted
Victory hut and the sandbag trenches
on Sixth street, which on Saturday
divided the slackers from the patriots,
were as useless yesterday as are the
dugouts on Flanders field.
In fact, every cog and wheel in the
gigantic machine used during the past
two weeks in. sending Oregon to suc
cess in the victory loan drive were in
active yesterday because on Saturday
night Portland reached the "armistice"
period of the fifth loan campaign. It
was with defeat staring in her face
that Portland rallied and so successful
was this rally that the entire city
seemed satisfied to take a well-earned
rest yesterday a rest which was thor
oughly enjoyed because Portland's
duty had been accomplished.
Oversubscription Total 58J75.
With Oregon safely tucked away
among the "honor column" states, lead
ers and workers in the strenuous loan
campaign waged in Portland spent
yesterday quietly.
"I'm going to sleep until next week,"
was the announcement of one worker
as he left Victory hut Saturday night.
And apparently all the other workers
made the same vow for Liberty hut
was as empty yesterday as it was busy
on the final day of the campaign.
Portland is known to have oversub
scribed $58,175 and it is estimated that
the total may run above $250,000 when
all the subscriptions have been tabu
lated and the late ones added.
Just how much Portland has over
subscribed probably will not be - de
termined until late today or some time
tomorrow, as it will be necessary for
the auditors to check every subscrip
tion made on Saturday before the final
result can be announced.
Rural Counties Set Record.
Oregon's official campaign ended
Saturday night when the news was
flashed to the world that Portland had
met its obligation and by her work
a bit slower than usual had proved
that its patriotism had again sustained
the proud record of achievement' that
has marked every loyal endeavor since
Hun ruthlessness forced America into
the war.
Victory was obtained in the outer
state on April 28. From that moment
Portland became responsible for the
honor of the entire state.
The victory loan opened on April 22,
but the majority of the individual sub
scriptions in Portland were not eolicit
ed until during the final week of the
drive. During the initial week the
large firms, industrial plants, banks
and wealthy individuals were called
upon and the call was not unheeded.
Banks to Supply Bonds.
During the final days it was ap
parent that everyone must respond if
.success was to result. The final day's
total, $2,522,456. coming as individua
subscriptions, was proof that the citi
zens of Portland had not only heard the
call of duty, but had responded nobly.
Although the campaign in Oregon has
ended, subscriptions will be accepted
by the banks of the state until next
Saturday when the campaign for the
sale of liberty bonds' will end through
out the United States. This continued
sale will afford an opportunity for all
who have been unable to purchase bonds
during the drive to secure them.
That many persons in Portland have
desired to purchase victory bonds, but
have been unable to do so was indi
cated by calls received at Liberty hut
Saturday night. Many of these persons
wanted to know if it would be possible
to purchase during this week. The same
terms offered during the official cam
paign will prevail until the national
campaign closes.
Portland Patriotism Landed.
"Portland has more red-blooded
American citizens than has any other
city on the Pacific Coast." said Emery
Olmstead, city chairman, last night.
"The victory loan is going slow every
where in the country and Portland's
response, I believe, proves my assertion.
i ne success oi me iinai loan in
Portland was due primarily to th
wonderful efforts put forth by the
workers who handled the drive. They
were a splendid group of people and
remained faithful, until the Job had
been successfully concluded. We all
have reason to feel proud, in that Port
land and Oregon have again proved
that they are ready to respond to the
nation's call, regardless of the magni
tude or tne request.
The liberty bell, which was also
named the victory bell, did much to
stimulate Interest in the loan. The
bell, formerly used as a fire bell in
Portland, was mounted on a truck be
longing to the Portland fire bureau.
In addition to the bell, buglers, cadet
. of the Hill Military academy, who rode
on the truck aided materially in th
enthusiasm and vim of the noon-day
meeting. -
Insnranc Companies Respond.
Much misapprehension existed
throughout the campaign, due to re
ports that fire insurance companies op
erating in Oregon did not do their full
duty in connection with the fifth loan
In a statement issued yesterday by
H. M. Blauvelt. chairman of the bureau
of foreign corporations division of th
loan organization, special tribute was
paid to the patriotism of the majority
of the life insurance companies of Ore
gon.
It was cited that these companies had
always responded to the call in pre
vious drives and that, although some
could not subscribe to the Portland
fund of the loan, in all these instances
the home office of these companies had
made a substantial subscription to the
loa n.

BERLIN, May 4. (Special Cable.)
Dr. Alexander Redlich, the Versailles
correspondent of the Vossische Zeitung,
whose hobby is a harmless propaganda
for a continental league against the
Anglo-Saxon world based upon Franco
German alliance, telegraphs his paper
as follows:
"The Frencn government evidently
wanted the German -delegates to see
themselves the. unhappy region devas
tated by the war before appearing be-
rore the peace conferenc. This lesson
was a valuable one, and -the horrors
which no sensitive human being es
caped on this trip does more to ex
plain, many things than a hundred sit
tings and long speeches.
.No, we were not given a friendly
welcome on those scenes of horror.
This people suffered heavily from the
war, and who can get angry because it
is not ours and is the enemy's."
tiolZ Brandt, correspondent of the
once militaristic and annexionistic Tag-
scne Rundschau, chronicles as " icy po
liteness" the greeting from the French,
adding "a diplomat seemed to be a
memory." . Brandt kicks discretely
over the restrictions of personal llb-
rty to which the delegation is subject
ed. He gathered from the impressions
f his first walk that it was necessary
for the authorities to protect the Ger
mans from the populace, and concludes:
It is emphasized that we are cit
izens of a country with which a state
f war still exists, and this assumption
conditions all intercourse. I am con
vinced that nothing will be left undone
which will break the nerve of the
Germans in Versailles before the peace
conditions are submitted."
Paul Block, the Tageblatt's corres
pondent, wires: "The weather is cold
and rainy and the beautiful park makes
Bad impression and affords an im
pressionistic comparison with the spir
its ot many, members of the German
delegation."
Block finds the military surveillance
in the Hotel Vatel, where the news-
pa p e r correspondents are quartered.
very strict but conducted with pains
taking politeness. The surveillance in
the few streets free for the Germans is
conducted quite unostentatiously. Go
ng into stores and buying things is
temporarily forbidden."
Fritz Stein, the Lokal Anzeiger s cor
respondent, says: "We hear and see
nothing of the outer world except the
Paris papers and they are not very edi
fying." -.

Measure to Guarantee Interest on
Irrigation and Drainage Securi
ties Strongly Advocated.
Oregon can double its population in
the next five or ten years, if we get
behind the measure to guarantee in
terest on irrigation and drainage bonds
for the first five years which comes
up at the election June 3," said Edward
X. Strong, assistant manager of the
Oregon Life Insurance company, who
has just finished a two weeks busi
ness1 trip in eastern Oregon.
"Twenty-two thousand acres near
PrineviJle will soon be watered by the
Ochoco project. I visited the dam last
week in companv with Dr. Harry
Rosenberg, one of Prineville's live
boosters, and although the dam is not
half completed water is being delivered
to 8000 acres this year.
"Anyone who has visited some of the
irrigated sections of Oregon every year
for the past ten years, as I have, can
not help being impressed with the
possibilities of irrigation. There are
thousands of acres in such projects as
the Deschutes, R-lamath Falls, Stan
field and Owyhee that today pay in
terest on $100 to $200 per acre that ten
years ago raised nothing but Jack
rabbits. "With proper district drainage the
Willamette valley would support twice
the population it now has. About three
years ago I visited in Illinois, where
land sold for $20 an acre not so many
years ago. It was considered no good
on account of overflow every spring.
Today large drain ditches carry the
surplus water off and- that land pro
duces more corn than any land in Illi
nois and you can't touch it for less
than $250 to $350 per acre.
"Portland should be alive to this is
sue and pass the measure, for this city
will never be any bigger or better than
the state behind it.
WEDDING STEP TO LIBERTY
t
Lane Teacher Remarries 'Wife .While

EUGENE, Or, May 4. (Special.) To
make their marriage valid, Roy C
Stroud, the Lane county school teacher
arrested a few days ago on a statutory
charge because he married before the
expiration of the time provided by law
after securing a divorce, and Lola Ella
Brown, yesterday secured another mar
riage license and the ceremony was
performed over again by County Judge
H. L. Brown at the courthouse. -
Stroud married his present wife some
time ago at Vancouver, Wash., only a
few days after he had obtained a di
vorce from his first wife. The facts
became known only a short time ago,
when he filed a suit for divorce against
his present wife. While the ceremony
yesterday legalized the marriage of Mr.
and Mrs. Stroud. District Attorney L. L.
Ray says he will not have the case
against Stroud dismissed, letting it go
to the grand jury for decision.

CUTOFF TO
WAIT ON CONGRESS
Road to Be Held Up Until Gov
ernment Yields Control.
OREGON LINES IMPROVED
All Extensions Said by Julius
Kruttschnitt to Be Impossible
Under Federal Control..
Construction of the Natron cut-off or
any other extension of the Southern
Pacific lines in Oregon, will not be con
sidered by officials of the corporation
until congressional action has deter
mined the status of the railroads when
the lines revert from governmental
control to private ownership.
Such was the statement given last
night by Julius Kruttschnitt, chairman
of the executive committee and presi
dent of the Southern Pacific corpora
tion, who with a group of officials of
that company and representatives of
the United States Railway administra
tion, is making a tour over the lines
of his company.
"Our corporation is spending a large
sum of money in improvements of our
properties in Oregon and will continue
to do so in order that our lines may
continue to be both smooth and safe.
This work consists of the laying of
many miles of heavy rails and the bal
lasting of the roadbeds with crushed
rock and gravel.
Extension Kot Possible.
-"But consideration of any extensions
must necessarily be delayed until we
learn of our status when the lines are
turned back to us. The railroads of the
country, as monthly statements show,
are losing money, in spite of the in
crease of rates made effective by the
railroad administration. In 1918 the
deficit of railroads in this country was
large and, Judging from statements be
ing issue dthis year, the 1919 deficit
will be still greater.
"The revenue secured through the in
crease of rates has, been far less than
the expenditures caused by both the
increased cost of materials, and the in
creased wages to the employes of the
companies.. When the railroads of tli
country were taken over by the gov
ernment many were on the verge of
bankruptcy and It is certain that if the
lines were returned to private owner
ship at the present time many could
not survive."
Future Legislation Needed. ,
With the power of making rates in
the hands of public bodies and the
question of wages virtually out of trie
corporation hands, Mr. Kruttschnitt
stated that future extensions and de
velopment of territory will depend
largely on the terms-granted the rail
roads by the government for operation
after lines have reverted to private
ownership.
When asked to express his opinion
on when railroads would revert to pri
vate ownership again, Mr. Kruttschnitt
employed that" classic expression con
sisting of three words condensed into
one. often utilized by a famous stage
star "Damfino."
"There is no other way to answer
the question," he stated, "for the cor
porate officers of the railroads have
absolutely no Idea when the railroads
will again--return to" private manage
ment and control." .. .
Mr. : Kruttschnitt has not visited
Portland for a number of years and
stated - last night that his work has
been So heavy during the past two
years that he has not been outside of
New York during that time until he
started for the present tour, which he
stated -was being made into an effort
to cover the greatest amount of mile
age in the shortest space of time pos
sible. .
He is accompanied by Paul Shoup,
chief executive officer on the Pacific
coast and vice-president of the South
ern Pacific company and by a number
of railway administration officers, in
eluding W. R. Scott and William
Sproule., federal manager of the South
ern Pacific. J. P. O'Brien, federal man
ager Oregon lines joined the party at
Ashland.
Yesterday the party visited Coos Bay
and today they will travel over the
west side division. of the Southern Pa
cific, visiting Oswego, Newberg, Mc
Minnville and Corvallis. Following this
inspection the party will proceed south
to San Francisco.
The purpose of the trip is to as
certain tain how the lines of the South
ern Pacific are being maintained by the
government and according to Mr.
Kruttschnitt. the condition seems en 7
tirely satisfactory.
HUNGARIAN SOVIETS LOSING
(Contloosd From First Pate.)
lng to a. dispatch from. Zurich to the
Exchange Telegraph company.
BERLIN, May 4. (By the Associated
Press.) A rebellion against the Co
burg dynasty at Sofia is reported. San
guinary fighting has been going on be
tween government troops and revolu
tionists, who demand a soviet govern
ment. Ferdinand, the former king of Bul
garia, is a member of the bouse of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha- He was a son
of Prince August of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha. Official notification of his ab
dication was published in November,
1918. Later he was reported to have
arrived at Coburg and to have asked
permission of the Swiss authorities to
reside in Switzerland.
LONDON, May 4. Bavarian sparta
can forces have blown up a train
crowded with republican troops near
Munich, according to the Zurich corre
spondent of the Exchange Telegraph
company. Three hundred bodies, the
message adds, have been taken from the
wreckage. '
VIENNA. May 1. By the Associated
Press.) The Budapest soviet govern
ment has appealed to President Wilson
to prevent the onward march of the
troops encircling Hungary. The appeal
says it is time that war's bloody crime
was stopped; that the soviet is making
an honest effort for good government,
and that it has kept order, despite the
various reports to the contrary circu
lated by enemies who fled the country.
BERLIN SAYS REVOLT BROKEN
Failure of Munich Cprising Re
stores Confidence in Army.'
BERLIN. May 4. (By the Associated
Press.) The failure of the Munich in
surrection marks the collapse of the
last important communist stronghold in
Germany, and for the time being the
Ebert and Schiedemann government Is
heaving a deep sigh of relief, for which
it can thank Herr Is'oske, minister of
defense.
The irony of fate decreed that at th"e
moment when Field Marshal Von Hin-
denburg announced his retirement as
chief of the army. Nojke, six months
ago an unknown person, of no military
caliber, with the ragged remnants of
former battalions and hurriedly re
cruited volunteer regiments, should be
winning the . nation's applause in the
NITHN
sordid, internecine, guerilla warfare
that is not wholly without its opera
bouffe setting.
Now that the bolshevlkl have appar
ently been defeated and scattered, gov
ernment circles in Berlin are not ex
pecting insurrections in other sections
on an equally violent scale. The re
organized political secret service which
the Liebknecht red guards forcibly dis
banded November 9, in at work again
and is keeping close acrultiny on bol
shevik machinations.
In a lengthy discussion of the situa
tion today, the chief of the secret serv
ice informed the correspondent that the
communists are now pretty well out of
funds, as the Russian ruble has been
kicked out of Germany.
"The German bolsheviki." said the
chief, "are pinning their last hope on a
possible failure in obtaining peace, and
delay in the improvement of the food
situation."
Officials here do not believe there
will be more street fighting in Berlin,
as the government troops are too well
entrenched and because of the utter de
moralization among the radicals.
BUDAPEST. HAS RED MAY DAY
Public Money Used to Make Red
Letter Day for Communism.
BUDAPEST, May 1. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) May day. has been an
c-r'iry of red. Thousands of red troops
marched to red music through red-bannered
streets. The sidewalks were
crowded with men, women and girls,
flaunting red ribbons. Streetcars were
red, automobiles were red, railway sta
tions and lamp posts were red. In
squares and on street corners were
huge red wooden stands on which were
emblazoned the statement "This is the
day of freedom and world . brother
hood." There also were numerous Immense
plaster casts of Lenlne and Karl Marx,
some of them 20 feet high.
The red celebration continued all day
and all night and red electric lights
added to the crimson hue after dark
ness fell. There were fiery speeches
in different parts of the city by Bela
Kun and other leaders of the Soviets.
The total cost of this effort to make
a red-letter day for Hungarian com
munism was 12,000,000 marks taken
from the banks of the country. .
The most remarkable feature of the
situation now prevailing is the fact
that there. is absolutely no disorder.
There have been relatively few exe
cutions, although the jails are almost
bursting with prisoners.
BAVARIAN RED LEADER SLAIN
Hoffman Government Announces
Reprisals In Order.
BERLIN. May 3. (By the Associated
Press.) The commander of the Bava
rian red army, Herr Eglehofer, was shot
and kllktd today after being sentenced
to death by court-martial, according to
a Bamberg message to the Tageblatt.
The Hoffmann government has an
nounced, the Tageblatt says, that the
communist leaders are being treated as
they treated the hostages they took, 10
of whom were shot in the Luitpold
gymnasium.
Among the members of the govern
ment forces killed during the recent
fighting was General Nagelelchberg.

Girl Suffering From Bullet Wounds
Says Jealonsy of Aunt Is

SEATTLE, Wash.. May 4. (Special.)
Charged with attempting to kill her
niece, of whom she was said to be
jealous, Mrs. Earl Jaynes, with her 18-
year-old son, Sunday was released from
the Kitsap county jail on $1000 ball.
The niece, Mrs. L.'W. Martin, 23-year-old
wife of a boatswain's mate on the
receiving ship at Bremerton, who Is
suffering from two bullet wounds, is
still at the navy yard hospital, but is
expected to recover. Mrs. Jaynes and
her son, "Warren Jaynes, are jointly
charged with attempting to take the
younger woman's life.
Mrs. Jaynes has refused steadfastly
to make a statement regarding her
part in the affair. She will neither
deny or affirm the charges made by
Mrs. Martin. Her son also refuses to
answer "yes" or "no" to questions. Be.
cause of the silence of the two it
would seem to be a puzzle whether they
ever knew Mrs. Martin, "but the Kitsap
county prosecutor declares evidence ln-
dictates the shooting was the result of
Jealousy on the part of Mrs. Jaynes.
Mrs. Martin, on the other hand, de
clares In the Puget sound navy yard
hospital that her aunt's jealousy was

The low ball was granted because
Mrs. Jaynes has young children at home
who require her care, and because it is

which is as follows:
"During the month of March 1919.

Christian Not Excused From
Obedience by Gospel Plan
Evangelist Dickson Explains From Bible the Plan of.
Salvation, and Declares That Hitting the Saw
dust Trail" Is Not Alone Sufficient.
Declaring that simply "hitting the
saw dust trail" is not sufficient to ful
fil the Bible plan for the salvation
which came to thin world through Je
sus Christ, and that the law of God Is
the rule of the life of the true Chris
tian in spite of the teachings of spirit
ual anarchy among many religious cir
cles. Evangelist L. K. Plckeon spoke
to a large audience last night in Chris
tensen's hall. Eleventh street, between
Morrison and Yamhill, on the subject
"What Must I Io to Be. paved?"
Kvaagellst DU-kson.
Taking his text from Titus 2:11-14.
the evangelist said in part:
"Man's need of the grace of God
which bringeth salvation exists be
cause of the natural and Inherent car
nality of the human mind and heart
brought about through his rebellion
against the authority of God. for 'sin
is the transgression of the law (1 Jn.
1:4). Therefore the Individual who
does not find a willingness and desire
to live according as God has pointed
out through the decalogue, has not re
ceived the results of the grace of God
working upon the heart. Grace Is
unmerited favor and resembles the
pardon which a governor might ex
tend to the guilty criminal. 'He could
not earn it nor could he demand it
rightfully and yet he receives it be
cause of the willingness of the ruler to
give it. So we as lost sinners, with
hearts filled with rebellion against all
that is called God. havlrrg that guilt
which would bring to us eternal death
finally, are pardoned and justified be
fore God through this grace, or unmer
ited favor of the almighty,
"Now many today have been lulled to
sleep by the popular teaching that
after the grace of God has once been
received by the sinner he no longer is
living under the authority of the law
of God. for. we are told, 'we are not
under tho law but under grace." (Rom.
6:14) But let us not stop with this 14th
verse in our reading upon this import
ant matter for the following verse
(Vs. 15) shows clearly that while we
have been 'Justified freely by his grace'
from the guilt of sins which are past
yet this does not give license to us to
sin, i. e. transgress the law In the
future.
"Thus our text shows us that the
grace of God teaches us to say no to
sin (transgression of the law) and not
stop by simply denouncing sin but it

Righteousness will then be the sum
and substance of our whole purpose
and desire. This righteousness is de
fined In connection with the descrip
tion of God's true followers in Isa. &1:
6. 7 where they are spoken of as those
who know righteousness, and he says
they are "The people in whose heart in
my law." The Psalmist (Psa. 119:12
says 'all thy commandments are right
eousness." "God never intended that Christians
should turn their ears away from His
law. but rather established the church
of Jesus Christ to be the pillar and
ground of the truth, which is accorod
ing to David His law ( Tsa, 113:142).
It is not the duty of Christians to call
the law of God. which Jesus said he did
not come to destroy (Matt. 5:17). the
old Jewish law. for it is the standard
of every true Christian and will be so
until that mighty trfumphant thronsc
sweeps through tho pearly gates ci'
heaven (Isa. 20:2).
"In answering the iucstion of tli
present hour's topic the apostle Paul
said (Acts 16:31). "Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou Shalt be saved."
and again Peter in answering a similar
question upon the day of Pentecost
said (Acts 2:38), "Repent, and be bap
tized every one of you in the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of
the Holy Ghost." Repentance, r sor
row for sin. which is an acknowledge
ment of our rebellion aganst God by
transgressing his law. Is absolutely es
sential to our salvation. But this sor
row for sin manifested by our penti
tent confession of the same to God.
whereby we gain His pardon and Jus
tification. Is best proven before God
and the world by forsaking the sin
which we are sorry for. At once then
will be understood the statement which
Paul so forcibly makes. "'Do we then
make void the law through faith? God
forbid; yea. we establish the lav,"'
(Rom. 3:31). In perfect harmony with
this statement which we have Just
quoted from Paul does he say in Rom.
8:3. 4 that Jesus Christ was sent to
this world to accomplish the one pur
pose of doing that which the letter of
the law could not do of itself, namely,
'that the righteousness of the law
might be fulfilled in us who walk not
after the flesh but after the spirit."
Again Paul tells us that while we can
not be saved by works (Rom. 3:20) yet
those who are saved by the blood of
Jesus will be doers of the law (Rom.
2:13) which is self evident from the
fact that they are followers of Jesus
who never sinned (1 Pet. 2:21. 22-24
but who kept all of God's command
ments (Jn. 15:10). Of such a class as
this will be those who finally enter
through the gates into the city (Rev.
22:14)."

will be Modern Prophets, True and
False A Bible Prophecy."
