THE SUXDAT OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTE3IBER 13, 1914. 11 GIRL TELLS OF WAR Fellow Student of Miss Camp bell, Monmouth, Enlists. MUCH MISERY WITNESSED Red Cross Worker, However, Says Situation Is Slore Calm Now In London. Where She, an Amer ican, . Holds Position. The unusual experiences of Ameri cans and others in Europe following the outbreak of the war are related in a letter received a rew days ago by Miss Agues Dorothy Campbell, of Mon mouth, Or., from Miss Arls Jackson, an American girl, who enlisted in the Eng lish Red Cross service. Miss Campbell met Miss Jackson while the two were studying art in Europe. Miss Campbell returned recently. She is a graduate of the University of Oregon. "When we said good-bye to you," reads the letter to Miss Campbell, "we little thought we should be following In your footsteps from St. Malo to London. Even a month ago If anyone had told me we should spend August In London, I should have considered them quite mad. But here we are and here we have been since August 4, and here we shall be for, goodness knows how long. "There is no need to mention the 'awful cause' of this change of plan. And yet one thinks, talks, dreams and actually eats nothing but war! ' Offers of Help Recorded. "Immediately upon our arrival here, I offered my services to the British Red Cross Society and they were ac cepted. So I have been placed at the head of the inquiry tabla of the Ken sington branch, and spend every day from 10 until 5 at the Kensington town hall. Two girls are under me and my duties are to see that all offers of help are properly registered in books. Also I have to arrange an me classes which come under the auspices of the Red Cross such as nursing. cookinsr. etc. So it means many inter views with doctors, nurses and people who are offering their houses for classes. It also means answering more foolish Questions than I thought human brain was capable of devising. But if I am of any use in this dreadtui time I am satisfied, and I am certainly stor inn- ud some interesting experiences. "Am coming in close contact with many titled creatures and I find them Just as human as we are. Miser? Only Is Left Behind. "We remained in Parme (a mile from Bt Malo) until two days after France declared war. Then we practically fled to England. It was really too ghastly to remain there longer. Not a whole man was left, not a decent horse, not a motor, only women with Bwollen faces and stricken eyes. Also not grain of news filtered through, as the government had taken over all the trains, teleeraph wires and 'phones. "We had a very uncomfortable time crossing from St. Malo to Southampton but no thrilling experiences. Our boat, ordinarily carrying 300. was crowded to suffocation with more than tuuu. "As we left the shores of France crowds or French olvllians and soldiers eheered us, singing the 'Marseillaise and shouting 'Vive l'Angleterre.' It was auite a thrilling spectacle. "In Southampton we sat five hours on our luggage waiting for some regi ments to come in. We managed a comoartment on the train, but many rode in the luggage vans. So we got through with our baggage and we had money, as two days before the panic in France I drew out nearly $300 In English gold and It has turned out to be a very good tning. Situation Is More Calm. "Of course the people at home have been wild and there has been some anxious cabling, but everything is calm now. We have been able to get our old rooms back and are really very comfortable. So we may be here for onfe months, as we can't go home until we can go with some degree of comfort not steerage, as so many of our terrified country people are going, "In the American Relief Committee rooms (whih has done a magnificent work), at the Savoy, we have met many students whom we knew in Berlin and who suffered frightful atrocities at the hands of the Germans, trying to escape froiu there. In the meantime there are so many of whom we can glean no scrap of news, and needless to say we are most anxious. Also in Berlin are all our furs, and all our brasses and china, left there to be shipped home later now probably lost to us forever. All our letters have gone to Frank fort and they tell us we shall never re ceive them, so for a while we shan't know whether our friends owe us let ters or whether we owe them."

As I walked over the beautiful, graceful slopes as I gazed out at that inspiring view of the city, the mountains, the river, the thousands of square miles before me I thought of the dream that has become a reality. Before me, completed, lie Westover Terraces the magnificent, the wonder-work of man! What so many Portland people have said was an impossibility, has been accomplished. The ideal of two great engineers is realized. I do not believe you have seen any greater evidence of confidence in Portland than that of the men who have stood behind this gigantic undertaking through the past five years. Over a million and a half dollars has been invested. Over a thousand men have worked on this project. Over seven billion: gallons of water have been used by the hydraulic giants. Over three million cubic yards of dirt have been moved. Wednesday, Sept. 23, will be "Westover Day." On this date the second and last section of Westover Terraces will be placed on sale. It is the last high-class view property in Portland. As John C. Olmstead, the great Boston landscape engineer who designed West over a man of international fame said, "There is nothing like it, anywhere'' Florence Gertina JewclL CHEHALIS. Wash., Sept 12. (Special.) In view of the fact that 16-mnths-old Florence Ger tina Jewell, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. O. Jewell, of Centralla, won the first prize in the better babies' contest at the Southwest Washington Fair this year, it might be interesting to know of the manner in which she is be ing raised. The first prize con sisted of a gold medal from the Woman's Home Companion, and a silver cur from the Fair Asso ciation. The baby's score was 97.5. The baby weighed eight pounds at birth, and was breast fed until 10 months of age. She is now on a diet of plenty of water, modi fied cow's milk, whole wheat bread and graham crackers, with an occasional small amount of orange juice. Since five months of sge she has had but five feed ings tn the 24 hours, and never at night-since she was two months old. She has never had a mo ment's illness and sleeps from 12 to 14 hours each day. NDIAN TROOPS PASS England Is Bringing Soldiers Home Through Canada. PAPERS' SILENCE ORDERED Rev. Oswald W. Taylor Hears From Brother About to Leave on For eign Service Clerical Parent, Nearly 10, Wants to Go. That British troops from India are being transported to England by way of Canada at the rate of several thou sand dally and that the newspapers are forbidden to publish the informa tion is the news contained in a letter received by Rev. Oswald W. Taylor, of Portland, from his brother. Llewellyn Taylor, an employe of the Imperial Bank of Canada, in Prince Albert, who is an officer in the volunteers and is under orders himseK for foreign serv ice . . The feeling existent in Canada is shown by Mr. Taylor's assertion that his father, who is a Church of Eng land clergyman, nearly 70 years of age, is only restrained from offering his services to his country because of his physical Inability to stand the hard ships of a campaign. Mr. Taylor's letter, date September 6, is, In part, as follows: "I am writing to ycu on what, at the present time, seems o be the eve of my departure for the unknown. I am going to the war. Indian fervlce Expected. "As you know. I am an officer in the 52d Regiment. The first contingent of the regiment left here about three weeks ago and, as far as we know, is due to sail on the 15th. Immediately after their departure from here we re ceived orders to recruit a second con tingent, which we have done, also to hold ourselves in readiness to be called away at any time. We think, however, that It will be three weeks before that call is made. "We are bound for foreign service, but don't think it is probable that we will see service in Europe. India seems to be the destination intended for some Canadian troops. This is apparent from the fact that Indian soldiers are pass ing over the' Canadian Pacific Rail road at the rate of one tralnload every six hours from Vancouver to Halifax. This information is not allowed to be published by the newspapers. "At any rate, old chap, after careful thought and deliberation, I have de termined to throw in my lot with the rest. What's the use of wearing the King's uniform if I don't live up to what it represents? Father says he would go himself if he was strong enough to endure the fatigue. He quite agrees with me that I am only doing my duty by going. I am a good shot and my eyesight is as good as ever, if not better. Of course, it will be incon venient to wear glasses all the time, but I did fine without them in camp at Sewell this year, so everything is O. K. "The bank is not standing rn the way of any of its staff Joining the army. My position will be held open until I return, and the question of paying absentees half salaries is under consideration. My regimental pay will be $3.60 a day with everything sup plied. "By Jove, you know it's a corker how things happen. Here I entered the militia three years ago as a hobby, but the spirit of the thing gradually worked upon me and I became keener and keener. This Spring I went to Winnipeg and attended the Royal School; then I went down to camp this Summer and passed my signalling examination, finally after finishing up, war breaks out! I must have seen it coming and didn't know it! "Well, old chap, after all this 'spieling' it would be a Joke on me if we weren't ordered out, but there is no chance of that happening, as the fight is only Just starting." "P. S. I have some Calgary oil shares and a gold claim I'll sell blame cheap. Better proposition than elk teeth!" WAR SPOILS WEDDING New York Woman In Hunted Liner Falls to Find Fiance. NEW YORK. Sept. 7.
