THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 2, 1918.
U.S. SOLDIERS HAVE
BEST CARE OF ALL
Men as Comfortable as Possi
ble in War Health Gen
erally Is Good.
SANITATION IS EFFECTIVE
To French Children American Is
SaDta Clans, Fairy and Circus,
All In One, Says Carl G.
Doney in Letter Home.
ET CARL G. DONEY,
President of Willamette University.
PARIS. May 2. I have been in about
CO places in France where American
aoldiers are located. These camps are
in various parts of the country and in
clude men who are newly arrived, men
who are partially trained, men who are
ready for the front and men who are at
the front. I have more or less closely
inspected camps of infantrymen, ar
tillerymen, engineers, aviators, hydro
plane men, hospital corps, stevedorej
and construction gangs.
There are, of course, many others
that I have not seen and of them I can
not speak from personal knowledge;
but it Is probable that conditions are
generally the same in all of them. I
am free to say that no army has ever
received the care which Uncle Sam is
bestowing upon his. In only a few
places, and they were at the front, did
I hear of insufficiency of food; and the
men who spoke of it added that the cir
cumstances were such as to interrupt
transportation, and they blamed no one
but the boches. In several of these po
sitions, all supplies, munitions as well
as food, are brought in by night over
Improvised railways or by trucks which
are exposed to shell fire.
In lumber camps remote from the
base the men are provided with fresh
meat, vegetables, sugar. Jam, good cof
fee, white bread and. occasionally, but
ter. There, too, the Y. M. C. A is estab
lished and the soldier has papers, books,
writing material, the phonograph and a
variety of public entertainments. Many
of the canteens serve hot chocolate and
sell at cost the articles which a soldier
needs.
Men lUTe Good Quarters.
In some camps the men sleep in tents.
Comparatively large, having a stove and
"from two to eight bunks. In other
' places wooden barracks have been
rrected or secured from the French,
where the comforts are as complete as
they can be under the circumstances.
Many of the companies and regiments
are housed in permanent buildings or
. billeted in the homes of the French
people.
Inquiries addressed to the men have
brought , the very general reply that
they are comfortable and have no com
plaint; but they add that it is not like
.home. Naturall; . the men are often
crowded. I found 38 bunked in a barn
loft, but the place was warm, dry and
ventilated. Still it was not like home.
The mattresses are filled with straw,
sometimes they are placed on the floor,
and that is not like home.
This, however, is war and nothing
takes a man farther from home or
home conditions or his home self than
war does. Considering this, I still say
-that the American soldier has better
care than any other and generally is
several removes from suffering or dis
comfort. This is evidenced by his
health and low rate of mortality.
Sanitation, la Effective.
It is fortunate that the war did not
occur 20 years ago. Rural and village
France knows little about sanitation.
Water is water, bathrooms are for story
" books, toilets are indescribable, and
sewage runs down hill. Without the
present effective inoculation against
typhoid and si-allpox, the soldier here
would pay a heavy toll. As it is now
he knows how to guard himself, makes
the water safe for use and provides his
own bathing and toilet facilities.
Recently I have been in several vil
lages where the Americans are billeted
Vith the civilian population. The fam
ily gives up the house or moves into
fewer rooms and the soldier takes pos
session. The rental paid to the French
is often an unspeakable blessing to
them and they are pleased to have the
men with them. The relations thus es
tablished are amicable and, in many
instances, very beautiful. The men of
France between the ages of 18 and 4o
are in the army, most of the young
women are away in the factory centers,
while the old and young remain at
home.
To the French children, the American
is a Santa Claus, a fairy and a circus, all
in one. Every day is a fete day to
them. They are learning English,
learning to chew gum and learning to
play ball. Last evening in a courtyard
I saw a Captain and two Lieutenants
holding a carnival of fun with six little
hoys and girls. They tossed the ball,
they hopped and jumped while doll
babies looked on from a corner where
they had been hastily deposited. The
officers threw the children upon their
shoulders and made a parade, the chil
dren shrieking with Joy and clapping
their hands. The. mothers knitted,
talked volumes and smiled. It was the
entente cordlale; and America and
France can have no quarrel until two
generations have passed away.
Boys Reminded" of Home,
The private meets the children every
where: they salute him, sometimes
etand at attention and then shake hands
or walk by his side. It is no uncom
mon sight to see John Smith of Oska-
loosa with a youngster on one arm, an
other clasping his free hand, while
several await their turn to be noticed.
Smith may not have been fond of chll
lren back in the States, or he thought
he did not care for them, but the French
child reminds him of the two in his si
ter's home and he forgets he is in
khaki and must remain here until the
Kaiser receives further treatment.
In a remote village where I was hav
ing lunch at the tiny restaurant, the
comely waitress informed me that she
had an American friend in the camp a
. few miles away. He often came to see
her though he spoke no French and she
spoke no English, but they managed
Quite well by using a dictionary and
when that became tiresome they simply
hem each others nands and kissed
"Thank goodness," she added, "holding
hands and kissing are the same in all
languages."
Today I was at the funeral of an
American who had died from peri
tonltls. The cathedral was opened for
the service. French and American offi
cers attended and a large concourse of
the townspeople followed the body to
tne cemetery. An old woman, wiping
her eyes with the corner of her apron,
eald to me, "I am thinking of those who
love him and who are so far away." I
. was moved to ask myself how many
persons In America would have accom
panied an unknown Frenchman out to
his last resting place: and would the
. bells have tolled and would the streets
have been lined with uncovered heads
sincerely bowed in sympathy?
New World Ideas Evolve.
As one contemplates the Intimate fel
lowship which is now being established
frtwea million oZ Americans and
French and English and peoples from
the uttermost parts, one Is certain that
some absolutely new and immeasurable
factor of the deepest significance is
beingr created. It will forever affect in
ternational relations. It will of neces
sity change every aspect of human In
tercourse. Those in the seats of the
mighty cannot neglect the marvelous
fact that their peoples have been
friends together and have suffered to
gether under the free impulsion of an
infinite ideal. No one will dare to for
get, nor will any wish to forget, that
men from a score of nations have
fought and died together and that their
dust is forever mingled in the hence
forth holy soil of France. The dreams
of the centuries are being shaped into
realities by the fires of war and who
will say that so great a thing is not
worth so great a price!
I roust tell you that for four days I
was with the Willamette boys rare,
brave souls who are holding fast the
ideals of the old school.
TWO FAIL TO RESPOND
EDWARD BRASDEL AND HEXRY
LEGCAT WANTED AT ALBANY.
One Called by Draft Board Is Believed
to Have Been Detained by
His Mother.
ALBANY, Or., June 1. (Special.)
Two of Linn County's quota of 45 men
on the present draft call failed to ap
pear when the others were inducted at
the Courthouse at 4 o'clock this after
noon. They are Edward Brandel, of
Lebanon, and Henry Leggat, of Port
land. Acting under orders from Sheriff
Bodine, a party of men went from Leb- (
anon this evening to apprenena tsranaei
and bring him here to leave with the
contingent at midnight for Fort Mc
Dowell, Cal. Officers believe Brandel
is being detained by his mother. When
he received his questionnaire his
mother is said to have torn it up. A
relative brought the young man to
Albany and secured a new one for him.
His mother has declared she would
kill her son before she would let him
go to war, reports say.
Leggat'a whereabouts are unknown.
When he registered for the draft he
was in the Linn County Jail serving a
term for importing liquor. Before his
arrest he had been living in Salem, and
after he was released he went to Port
land. He is known to have been there
until recently. Because a letter sent
him was returned, the local board ex
pected his absence and had a substitute
here for him.
When Brandel failed to report the
board summoned the next man, Lloyd
Gilson, of Lebanon, and he is hurrying
here to go unless Brandel arrives in
time to board the troop train.

"Is washing automobiles too hard
work for you? the Judge asked.
"I think it is, your honor," was the

anyway, and maybe it will agree with
you all right," was the order of the

WITH NATION'S AIMS.
Reports Made at Business Sessions
Show Denomination Progress
ing Along All Lines.
With a spirit of earnestness and de
votion seldom seen even in a great re
ligious gathering, the business sessions
of the Seventh-day Adventists en
camped near Creston Station are draw
ing to- a close.
A special prayer service was con
ducted on Memorial day by Dr. W. A.
Splcer, of Washington, D. C, secretary
of the world conference, S. D. A., and
copies of President Wilson's proclama
tion, printed in the denomination
church organ, were circulated through
out the camp.
The report of the president. H. W.
Cottrell, showed a substantial Increase
in membership and progress along all
other lines.
Departmental secretaries have ren
dered their reports; Professor G. E.
Johnson for the educational; Miss Edith

NEW HOE TOO SMALL
DETENTION QUARTERS LIKELY TO
BE INSUFFICIENT.
"The Cedars," Built to Accommodate
47 Patients, While City Now Has
57 Under Treatment.
With the new woman's detention
home, "The Cedars." near Troutdale,
fast nearlng completion, city officials
are now confronted with the problem
of insufficient room in the new build
ing properly to care for the cases of
Portland girls and women sent into the
city from points throughout the state
for treatment.
Several months ago the city agreed
to care for all cases sent Into Port
land. The actual cost of handling these
cases was to be paid by the State
Board of Health.
The units of the new detention home
now under construction are built to
care for approximately 47 patients.
The city is now treating 67 cases at
the temporary detention home located
at Kelly Butte.
Construction of additional buildings
Is opposed by members of the City
Council. City Commissioner Barbur,
at a special meeting of the council
yesterday, held that the city should
not be expected to bear the expense of
erecting buildinrs in which to house
n
K ' J '-:': - '
. -Si
and care for women coming from points
In the state outside of Portland.
The new detention home Is built In
three units. The largest building Is
the administration building in which
a surgery, kitchen, dining-room, offices
and some rooms for patients will be
Included. The other two buildings are
to be used as barracks, with Indi
vidual rooms on the plan of similar In
stitutions In the East.
The attic of the administration build
ing is to be pressed Into service as a
dormitory, which will care for a few
patients.
Plans are being formulated for the
use of the building at Kelly Butte for
the treatment of men afflicted with
social diseases. The city will send all
men found to be suffering from this
class of diseases to this institution,
and the cost will be borne by the
county, it the present plans materialise.
"Such a plan is fair," said Com mis.
sloner Barbur, "but It brings to mind
again the need of city and county gov
ernment consolidation. The taxpayers
of Portland are called upon to pay 95
per cent of the taxes of the entire
county, and at the same time are also
forced to pay the expenses necessary
In 'the conduct of two separate govern
ments. In many Instances duplicating
the work."

SLACKER HINT GIVEN
Bishop Sumner Accuses Club
Women of Portland. "
WAR STAMP TALK MADE
Vigorous Appeal Made for Awaken
ing of Interest In Subject of
Vital Importance In
Great War.
Bishop Sumner his accused the Port
land Federation of Women's Clubs of
not taking sufficiently keen interest in
the war savings stamp movement.
Bishop Sumner's talk, delivered at
the Central Library yesterday after
noon, came as a surprise to most of
the women present.
The speaker, after directing the at
tention of the club members to their
responsibility and to their Indifference
to meet It up to this time, urged every
officer present to telephone before
night to the other officers of her club
and arrange for a meeting of all mem
bers before next Saturday and to have
savings societies organised by that
time.
It was declared that of 81 social and
city clubs In Portland only 14 have re
sponded to the call of the Government
to form the thrift societies. These
figures were submitted to show the In
difference which the club women have
apparently assumed toward the thrift
stamps.
Women Strike Back.
The criticism was not accepted meekly
by some of the women present, for they
declared that most club members have
been buying stamps through school
children and that one club has practi
cally emptied Its treasury in making
purchases of the stamps.
To Impress on the women the possi
bilities of trouble in Oregon. Bishop
Sumner quoted from the statements of
Colonel Leader, at the University of
Oregon, that this Coast is threatened
with invasion by 250,000 German re
servists in Mexico and that such an In
vasion would probably result in the
same treatment for Oregon women as
wan accorded the women of Belgium.
The Bishop next auoted Government
statistics to the effect that $155,600.
000,000 will have been spent by the al
lies and the enemy by August 1. ISIS,
and that up to August 1, 117. there have
been killed and permanently disabled
12.123,000 men in all armies, of the total
7,004.000 being killed.
"Oregon," said Bishop Sumner, "'has
been asked to buy $17,500,000 of the
war stamps. In the last six months
less than $4,000,000 has been sold. Too
much of this work has been left to the
children.
Urgent Task Pointed Out.
"June 28 has been set as the day
when Oregon must try to pledge Itself
for the rest of Its quota and to pledge
Itself for economy. Here Is work for
the club women to perform.
"The organized women have a won
derful influence and power and If they
will take up the task Indicated they
will be entitled to a vast amount of
credit.
"Some clubs say that their season is
ended and that there will be nothing
to do until the Autumn. Such Is not
the case. The season Is Just beginning
for things worth while. Start your
season again. Begin now.
"Devote the month of June to the
great effort to win the war by aiding
in every way the war stamp campaign.
The stamps are for everyone, not alone
for children. The Government urges
the practice of economy and the In
vesting of savings in stamps. It Is a
challenge to the club women of Port
land and one which they should take
up."
Not only are the women wanted to
get behind the war savings stamp drive
for June 28. but they are also asked
to form savings clubs within the
women's organizations.
The Government wants this done, ex
plained Miss Valentine Prtchard, and
the names of these organizations are
to be recorded at Washington. Miss
Prichard said that any woman can form
one of these thrift clubs by securing
pledges from ten persons and these ten
can elect their own officers and hold
their own meetings and In time be offi
cially recognized by the Government.
CHAPMAN ON.HIS WAY EAST
Veteran Y. M. C. A. Worker to At
tend National Conference.
One of the happiest men in the Unit
ed States today Is on his way from
Portland to Springfield. Mass. He Is
D. C. Chapman, veteran Y. M. C. A
worker, now a member of the Portland
T. M. C. A. secretarial staff. He bad
keenly desired to attend the national
conference of Y. M. C. A. secretaries
In Springfield, but provision was made
or.ly for the attendance of department
heads.
When members of the staff of the
Portland Association learned of his de
sire they said, "Chapman shall go."
A fund was made up at a meeting,
which was one of the few In several
years that Mr. Chapman had missed. It
came as an entire surprise to him when
he was handed his ticket and expense
money and told to pack and make his
train.
