THEY took the rich colorings of the
autumn, the delicacy and grace of
springtime, tne triumphant beauty of
the summer and the vigor of the
winter when an icy blast brings a de-.
fiant light to the eye and glow to the
cheek; they gathered the loveliest
melodies of master musicians" and the
syncopation of the inspiring jazz and
blended all these into one great and
f.Morius bill that opened yesterday at
the Orpheur and will continue today,
tomorrow and Wednesday afternoon.
The Winter Garden violin girls,
with Saranoff and Billy Abbott in a
cabaret specialty, well-staged
and gaPy-costumed, have an act that
is a gem from start to finish- The
girls play the violin and dance at the
same time and do both extremely well
and with a grace ar.d dash that would
make each one a star. It's smart and
snappy this Winter Garden girl num
ber and it includes some highly ar
tistic classical music and some jazzy
melodies as well and both played with
skill that is refreshing. Added to
their talents, be it known, the gir's
fore good looking. The men, too, are
gifted, lively and keep things hum
ming all the while. Saranoff has a
way of hat-racking the guests at the
cabaret thai produces laughs.
Introducing many wonderfully beau
tiful effects, "Color Gems" is another
act thai is of the highest artistic
value It includes 11 superb pictures
depicting several ideals, seasons of
the year and inspirations. The fig
ures introduced are women of ex
quisite loveliness and form and the
lighting is well-handled and most
charming in blending and tones. R.

the success of this offering.

J. 31. BECK, WHO ATTACKED
. HI'S BRUTALITY, OX TOUR.
Bail for 3Irs. Sabina Ludevieh Is
Placed at $250 on Cliarge of
Violating Dry Law.
Eight hundred gallons of wine were
eeized and three persons arrested
early yesterday morning in a raid at
329 East Eighth street by Lieutenant
Thatcher and Patrolmen Schulpius,
McCulloch, Wellbrook and Corder.
Those arrested were: Mrs. Sabina
Ludivich. charged with violating the
prohibition law. and Ray Koontz. a
mechanic, and Frank Baker, a car
penter, held as witnesses against Mrs.
Ludivich
Patrolman Wellbrook first gained
entrance to the house on pretense
that he wished to buy some wine.
Lieutenant Thatcher knocked on the
door a few minutes later, and the pa
trolman opened it.
Mrs. Ludivich was close behind the
policeman, however, and asked the
new arrival what he wanted.
"Wine," Thatcher says he replied.
"How much?" Mrs. Ludivich is said
to have demanded.
"A gallon," replied the policeman.
"S-sh! be careful to make no noise
to attract the attention of the police,"
the woman is said to have cautioned
him.
Thatcher says that the remark so
amused him that he burst out laugh
ing. Thereupon, he says, Mrs. Luili
' polled bs.ck his coat and exposed
his police star. It is alleged that the
woman was so frightened that she
became hysterical, threw her arms
around the policeman's neck, and
hung suspended irtil he carried her
inside.
The wine was taken to the police
headquarters. The two witnesses are
Faid to have paid Mrs. Ludivich $1
for a quart of the wine, and to have
been drinking when police invaded
tl e house.
Bail for Mrs. Ludivich was placed
at S250 and for the two witnesses at
$100 each, which they ;rave.
Articles Baring German Methods of
Warfare Before Entrance of
U. S. Attract Attention.
James M. Beck, one -of the best
known lawyers of New York, and au
thor of "The Evidence in the Case"
and numerous other works written
before this country entered the war.
which attracted much attention be
cause of the strong stand taken
against German brutality and Ger
man methods of carrying on the war,
may give an address in Portland on
the leageu of nations Friday night,
according to plans being made by
members of the Multnomah County
Bar association.
Mr. Beck is now touring the Pa
cific coast, speaking against the rati
fication of the treaty and league of
nations covenant without- reserva
tions. He is now in California and is
to go from tnere to eSattle and Spo
kane to speak. When members of the
bar association learned that he would
pass through Portland they began
efforts to have him speak here, be
cause of his prominence as a member
of the New York bar. Word has not
yet been received from Mr. Beck.
Mr. Beck was formerly attorney
general of Pennsylvania and was the
first assistant attorney-general of
the United States under the Roosevelt
administration. During the period
between the opening of the war in
1914 and the entrance of America into
the conflict, Mr. Beck was particular
ly influential in aligning public sen
timent against Germany, and the nu
merous articles he wrote attracted
wide attention.
Hippodrome.
HE feminine love of feminine
nery and the masculine taste for
feminine beauty are well satisfied by
the headline act in the vaudeville bill
which opened yesterday afternoon at
the Hippodrome. Six clever acts com
bine with a feature photoplay to make
an enjoyable entertainment.
A statuesque American girl, a chic
French model, an obliging dress de
signer and a good-looking American
youth, all enjoying themselves in a
Parisian designer's shop, are the ac
tors in the sketch which tops the list
of acts at the Hippodrome. Under the
nimble fingers of the designer, the
little model starts with a costume of
stockings and not much else, to the
layman's eye, and annexes an alluring
creation which found approval in
the eyes of yesterday's audience. The
deft fingers of Armand, the designer,
played by Charles W. Cross, make up
for his less accurate French accent.
Gertrude Karl, as the model, sings
prettily, and with Bobby Stuart, the
American boy. does an excellent
dance. Elsie Stradley, as the Ameri
can girl, makes an entrancing picture
first in an evening gown and again in
bride's costume, and sings two songs
in a fine soprano.
Kende, Pearl and Stater, in a side
walk sketch ' called "The Woman
Haters," produce some good comedy
and melody. The girl, acting as the
bone, of contention, is comely and
plump enough to put the audience in
sympathy with the men's resolution
to have nothing to do with women.
Platform humor Is provided by the
''Hon." Dave Manly, who has a po
litical monologue entitled "Leave the
HalL" We almost did. There are
some jokes on Dave's list, however,
that make up for the old ones. Pre
ceding Manly are Montgomery and
Milan, who are quite good-looking
and clever enough to fit in their skit,
"A Seaside Romance."
Fredericks and Van, xylophone and
marimba artists de luxe, open the
show with some good novelty musi
cal numbers, and the Three Lees, ex
ceptionally versatile acrobat-jugglers,
present the final act in a whirl
of clubs. Gladys Leslie stars in the
picture, "The Great Towers Mystery."
Lyric.
PRETTY chorus numbers, as usual,
are the principal features of "The
Speed Limit," billed for the Lyric this
week. One of the newest numbers
presented by the Rosebuds is in a
song. "The Girl on the Magazine."
While Carlton Chase carries the solo
part he holds open the cover of a
huge magazine, from which step girls
clad as familiar types from magazine
illustrations.
"Good Night, Dearie," is another ex
cellent solo by Olive Finney. While
opalescent lights are turned on the
stage the chorus in nighties join in
the melody.
Clarence Wurdig. as an author,
worked in a clever burlesque on popu
lar movie melodrama when he read a
chapter from his latest book, which
was acted in burlesque by Olive Fin
ney. Ben Dillon and Al Franks and
other members of the cast.
"The Speed Limit" has for its set
ting a foreign cafe and deals with
the affairs of Mike and Ike, Inspector
Quinn and the consul. The two
comedians become involved in a num
ber of laughable situations through
their infatuation for pretty girls.
Mike, because he cannot endure some
of his partner's wit, shoots poor Ike,
and the intelligent inspector is im
mediately upon his trail. At the last
minute, when the law had the luck
less Irishman in its toils, Ike walks
in and saves .the day.
Among the new songs being intro
duced by the Rosebud chorus this
week are "Blues" and "Now I Know."
Will Rader also has a solo, "Another
Good Man Gone Wrong."
The bill includes a film comedy, a
two-reel feature, also current events.

HELD NOT PRACTICAL
Rev. Robert Murray Pratt
Shows Need of Effort.
STEADY EFFORT ADVISED
Bathrobe and Slippers Declared to
Be Excess Baggage to Aspir
ant for Honors of Life.
GREECE ASKS DECISION
VETERAXS CALL MASS 3IEET
IXG FOR DISCUSSIXG RIGHTS.
"Bathrobe and slippers are excess
baggage to the aspirant for the hon
ors of life," said the Rev. Robert Mur
ray Pratt, in the Pilgrim Congrega
tional pulpit yesterday morning. The
theme of the sermon was "The Ladder
of Life."
"The Greek word for man. 'anthro
pos.' the up-looker, is most expressive
of correct attitude." the pastor con
tinued. "It may truly be said that
ambition has brought the human be
ing to the present stage in the run
of progress. Longfellow gave a vision
of life in his youth bearing the banner
up Alpine peak, vith the motto 'Ex
celsior' expressing his spirit.
Picture Show Ambition.
"There is a picture that comes
nearer to real life. . A clear-eyed
youth is standing at the foot of a
ladder. He grips it with both hands.
His foot is upon the first round. His
face is upturned to the top. He is
ready to climb. And the words that
seem to be written upon his brow are
those of Shakespeare: 'Mount, mount.
my soul, thy seat Is on high." Worthy
ambition is the ladder of life.
"The doctrine of the ladder-life is
'final perseverance.' There are no
stopping places on ladders; no con
veniences for snatches of sleep. A
ladder is an inconvenient thing for
the loll of the lazy, but a sure means
of getting there for the vigorous soul
of corduroy courage. Ladder-climbing
is good exercise. It calls for the
play of all faculties. Hands, feet and
eyes are used in mental concentra
tion. "Who reaches to climb, climbs to
reach. And when the climbing ambi
tion is motived by the divine spirit
the significance of the words of Paul
is clear. 'Exercise thyself untd godli
ness." The soul needs its gymnasium.
Limousine religion and airplane phil
osophy may look pretty and have
speed, but the soul suffers impover
ishment that is not practical as well
as lofty, vigorous as well as refined.
Lincoln In Example.
"The ambition that wins in the climb
of life is not that of a Caesar, fre
quently grievously answered for. It
is that of a Lincoln, who. in the
depths of the soul, declares. 'Some day
I will hit that thing and hit it hard."
After all, it is the cherishing of the
dream of the untarnished spirit of the
soul's youth. It is the turning of
vision into reality, persistently pur
suing the convictions of character,
turning drudgery into desirable ac
tivity. "The parable of the porous plaster
is pertinent to the secret of success
in ladder climbing. It gets in its ex
cellent, effective work by sticking
to it. Two opposing armies may be
brave, but the determining factor in
victory, other things being equal, may
be the time limit of the bravery. Be
ambitious and be worthy. Be not
goody-goody, but good. Be busy as
well as buoyant. Be steady aa well
as strenuous. Keep climbing and
carry up the ladder of life that char
acter which is life's living creed."

Gathering Will Be Held Tonight In
Library Hall; Statement Is

.A mass meeting has been called for
8 o'clock this evening at Central
library hall under auspices of Port
land War Veterans of Greek descent.
The purpose of the meeting, it is an
nounced, is to give expression to pub
lic sentiment in support of Grecian
rights in Thrace.
The principal speakers of the oc
casion are announced as follows: May

District Attorney Walter Evans, Judge
Gantenbein, W. F. Woodward and Al

The Portland World War Veterans
of Greek descent have offices in the
Macleay building and the officers are:
A. Demis, president; P. G. Tsigris, secretary.
A statement has been issued by the
society relative to what the organiza
tion believes would be justice to Greek
claims in Thrace. The statement is in
part as follows:
"Greece, whose national aspirations
always have been like those of Amer
ica, asked esteemed President Wilson
and the American delegation for sim
ple justice in Thrace. Greece is not
asking for the territory of another na
tion, fehe asks only for the territory
that has been, hers and that today
has a population preponderantly
Greek.
"Four out of the "big five sitting
at the peace council have unanimously
decided this Thracian question in fa
vor of Greece, while our American
delegates, to our surprise, have not
signified their intention as yet. We
therefore implore the American sen
ate to use their good offices so that
a favorable decision shall be reached
in favor of Greece.
"Greece asks America for justice
and self-determination in Thrace.
There .are 730,822 Greeks in Thrace
and only 70.000 Bulgars. Will America
save this liberty-loving race from the
alternative which continued slavery

Dr. A. Li. Hutchinson Speaks on
"God's Measure or Wise Man."
"God's Measure of a Wise Man"
was the subject upon which Dr. A. L.
Hatchinson, pastor of the Piedmont
Presbyterian church spoke Sunday
morning, October 12. The sermon
has attracted considerable comment
during the past week. Dr. Hutchin
son used for his text: "He that is
wise winneth souls," from Proverbs
xi:30.
"Society has returned from the in
anities of the summer resort, to re
sume the inanities of the social club,
the ball room and the theater." said
Dr. Hutchinson in this sermon. "In
business and society men and women
no doubt are looking forward to 'do
ings' that shall surpass those of any
previous season. Scripture tells us
that 'the sons of this age are wiser
In their generation than the sons of
light. It would seem that here is
a hint from Jesus that the sons of
light might take a cue from their
opposites in life and purpose. I
imagine that we might learn from
the world to cultivate a spirit of
alertness, co-operation and organiza
tion, with zeal in a better cause. The
wisdom of the sons of the age 'in
their generation or kind' is ex
hausted in pursuit of things that do
not satisfy. The sons of light might
well imitate those elements of wis
dom in their higher and me.re satis
fying sphere of activity.
"Many Christians today excuse
themselves from service on the plea
of being too busy.- An ancient He
brew king was caught in the meshes
of a similar excuse, anl he lost his
kingdom by it. God never chooses
an idler to do a great work for him.
Moses was very busy with his flocks
in the pasturage around Horeb, when
God called him to the greatest work
of that century.
"The best soul-winning is done by
personal contact.- It i- like hand
picked fruit, it usually lasts longer
and is more perfect. Personal ap
peal is one of the most invincible
weapons on earth. ' The politician and
the commercial men use this method.
It is the method by which the first
disciples were gathered and the foun
dation of the church was thereby laid.
However, there may be times and
situations which call for the storm
ing of the strongholds of sin and
Satan in a great evangelistic cam
paign. But it must be a campaign

"Fighting Parson" to Speak.
SALEM, Or., Oct. 19. (Special.)
Dr. E. V. Stivers, pastor of the First
Christian church of Eugene and
known throughout Oregon as the
"fighting parson," will be the chief
speaker at Monday's Commercial
club luncheon. "Religion in Business
and Business in Religion" will be his
topic. The members of the Salem
Ministerial association have been ex
tended an invitation to attend the
luncheon.
GIVING HELD ABOVE GETTING
Human Greed Strangles Liife, Says
Dr. A. A. Morris-on.
"If I could and would preach ser
mons showing how my hearers could
become rich in money matters in one
or two years and guarantee this to
happen, our congregations would fill
this church to the doors and always
there would be an overflow meeting."
said Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of
Trinity Episcopal church, who spoke
yesterday morning on "False Am
bitions." "Nowhere in the gospel is It record
ed that Jesus of Nazareth got rich
from his ministry among men." ar
gued the preacher. "The early discip
les did not acquire material wealth
when they healed the sick and
preached the gospel.
"Of course, healthy ambition is good
for a healthy man, for it is necessary
for effort to promote righteousness
and natural principles. Perverted
ambition is wrong. Many of the ills
of this world are caused by false
ambition and the result, among na
tions and peoples is unrest and dis
content. "The trouble, or seeming trouble. Is
that people do not grasp the main
idea that Christ taught to give up
things, rather than to insist on get
ting" things. Of course, the world
fails to see it.
"The majority of people Inside and
outside the church have this pre
dominating thought: 'What shall I
get? Not, 'What shall I give?' Human
greed strangles life, juBt as a glutten
dies from gluttony. Those willing to
give, as God Is willing to give, will
be exalted in the true way or tne
spirit. Let us learn what true hu
manity is, the kind manifested by
Jesus.
"Nations have one great aim to
increase national wealth. God's plan
Is to promote peace in the world, in
the path of justice and human hap
piness. Remember, nations represent
individuals."
XEED OF JOY IN LIFE SEEN
"Merry Heart" Fostered by Early
Disciples, Says Rev. E. Constant
Rev. Edward Constant, pastor, spoke
yesterday morning at the Highland
Congregational church on "The Bless
ings of a Merry Heart."
"If I read aright the teaching of
Jesus.", said Mr. Constant, "it Is the
desire of God that humanity should
emerge out of the gloom and sorrow
of sin. So many of us live amid the
swampy-lands of selfishness that we
fail to enjoy the clear and vitalizing
air of the hills of God. We havo no
uplifting vision because we are con
tent to remain in the valley.
"The element of joy was no small

Dr. Short Discourses on Bringing
Things to Pass.
"And it came to pass " a quotation
from Luke xviti:35-43, was the text
taken by Dr. Francis Burgett Short.
pastor of Wilbur Methodist church,
for his morning sermon yesterday.
"Certainly, it came to pass,"-said Dr.
Short, introducing his text. "Some
thing is always coming to pass when
some folks are around; that's the
genius of them and the reason they
are followed and loved or ignored and
despised: they are bringing things to
pass. Jesus was a bringer-to-pass.
and the things wrought by htm were
both helpful and worthy of his ef
fort. Herein shines the glory of his
life he brought things to pass that
always blessed those with whom and
for whom he labored.

factor in the success of the early
church. The early disciples had the
merry heart. If they had been like
so many whipped dogs or gone about
with long-drawn faces they would
never have made any impression upon
tre world. Never does victory come
to the man of despair. It is Impos
sible for the music of a dirge to in
spire with the spirit of conquest.
"Cheerfulness, or the merry heart.
Is an essential element of true re-
iglon. Gloom Is depressing. Sorrow
is blichting Carking care or worry
eats the heart away. Fear enfeebles
and impairs vitality. Pessimism cre
ates despair and when we become the
victims of despair we are lost. The
world will accept no man for its lead
er wno is an everlasting pessimist.
"The policy of the church must not
be simply repressive, tending to make
life dull and insipia. The note of her
preaching must be that of Joy nnd
hepe. Instead of appearing to be like
a mother who is always admonishing
and scolding those she loves, she must
rather appear like a parent of loving
patience, smiling face and cheeiful
words, inspiring those about her with
the spirit of endeavor and gladness."
McElveengranis Are Heard.
"Be a standby, not a bystander."
This wa one of the terse phrases
in Dr. W. T. McElveen's morning eer
mon yesterday at the First Cotijrre-
of
grational church, the pastorate
which he recently assumed.
"If you haven't any religion to
give away, you haven't any religion
worth keeping," was another "Mc
Elveengram" as the members of his
congregation call his eayings. Here
are some more:
"Many church members are in
'good and regular standing'; but that
is the difficulty; they are standing,
not going about their Holy Father's
business; they are good, but not good
for anything in particular.
"We are Judged, not by the evil
that we avoid, but by the good that
we accomplish.
"A man might obey all the com
mands of abstinence but yet be an
unproductive man.
"An unproductive man la no better
than a dead man and he is a good
deal more in the way.
"Christiani.;- is not simply , respect
ability, it is increasing righteousness;
many are r.ot wicked, they are only
weak; they haven't enough energy to
be boldly bad or bravely good.
"Goodness is not the mere absence
of badness, neither is goodness inno
cence. Innocence is the crude block
of marble, character is that block of
marble carved into a statue.
"Christianity is' not ascetic; it is
athletic."

The question which was considered
in the address was "Is International
Chaos Impending?" and it was based
upon the second chapter of Oaniel and
other prophecies of the Bible, includ
ing the sixteenth chapter of Revela
tion, where is found the only text in
the Bible which speaks of Armaged
don. Mr. Dickson declared that the
great image seen in the vision of
Nebuchadnezzar, as recorded in
Daniel, the second chapter, was a
comprehensive outline of the history
of the world from the time of Babylon
to the end of the world. The evange
list said in part:
WOKLirS HISTORY I MTM1KLI.
"In the dream of the great imaire
of Nebuchadnezzar was shown the
entire course of this world's history.
The history of more than 2."00 years
was revealed by God in one night, and
offers undeniable proof of the in
spiration of the Scriptures. The parts
of the image, of various metals from
head to feet, represented successive
empires, beginning with Babylon: and
the kingdom of Babylon, represented
by Nebuchadnezzar, was the head of
gold. The image was made up of
Just four metals. Accordingly, then,
just four universal empires were to
exist in the world from the time of
Nebuchadnezzar to the end. The last
of these was to be divided into ten
smaller kingdoms, and these were to
be in power when the kingdom of
heaven, represented by the great
stone cut out of the' mountain without
hands, was to take the place of all
earthly kingdoms.
"History completely bears out this
prophecy. Medo-Persia was the next
universal empire after Babylon, and
was inferior to Babylon only in glory
and riches, even as silver is inferior
to gold, but it ruled the world as did
her predecessor. Then followed Greece
umler Alexander the Great, and also
the Iron monarchy of Rome. Rome, in
turn, was divided, just as the dream
predicted, into just ten kingdoms,
represented by the ten toes of "the
j image, which were composed of iron
and clay, some strong and some weak.
With these ten barbarian tribes from
the north all students of history are
familiar. They were Allemanni (Ger
many), the Franks (France), the Bur
gundians (Switzerland), the Suevi
(Portugal), the Vandals, the Anglo
Saxons (England), the Visigoths
(Spain), the Heruli. the Ostrogoths
and the Lombards (Italy).
KINGDOM OK GOD COMIXG,
"According to verse 44. while the
present great nations are still ruling
in Europe and striving to form some
sort of tie which shall bind them to
gether peaceably, 'the God of Heaven
shall set up a kingdom which shall
never be destroyed'; not upon or in
connection with the present plans of
mankind, 'but it shall break in pieces
and consume all these kingdoms, and
it shall stand forever. The Armaged
don of the Bible which, according to
the sixteenth chapter of Revelation,
ushers in the second appearance of
Christ Is still in the future, and is a
picture of the crumbling of the na
tions in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar.
The vast and unparalleled preparation
for war which is now going on among
the nations of earth, the awakening
of the heathen amid the plans and
cries for international and permanent
peace, are but omens of the rude
awakening ahead for those who have
been lulled to sleep by the present
day Utopls fs subtle, sentimental
music. 'Let us not sleep as do others;
but let us watch and be sober.' " Adv.
