Kelty, Assistant Director of Treasury Certificate Sales, Ar rives in Portland , to Bo Present at Session. Edward, Cookinghatu, president of the Portland Clearing House Associa tion and chairman, of a special com mittee of nine members, appointed by E. G. Crawford, president of thej State Bankers' Association, to superintend the campaign for subscriptions to treasury certificates of indebtedness in tbfct state, has called! meeting of the committee for tomorrow. -The purpose of the meeting is -to decide -unon some pian Dy wmcn yregoo will ui.oi lis quota of subscriptions to these cer tificates. Carl S. . Kelty. assistant director of sales for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, arrived from San Francisco yesterday and will meet with the Ore gon committee at its meeting tomor row. Completing his work here, Mr. Kelty will go to Seattle on the same errand. Mr. Kelty is treasurer of the Lumbermens Trust Company of this city, and has been granted a four months' leave of absence to, assist the Government in the sale of these, certifi cates. Subscriptions Below Quotas. United States Treasury certificates of indebtedness bearing 4 per cent Interest have been offered for sub scription in the amount of $750,000,000 every two weeks. The quota of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District was fixed at $53,000,000 for each issue. Sub scriptions in this distrtet to the first offering of June 25 were $18,000,000. and to the offering of July a, $35,000. 000. As will be seen, this, district on both occasions fell short of Its quota. The district embraces the State of Ore gon. Washington, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah and Arizona and the ter ritories of Alaska and Hawaii, Announcement was made by the Gov ernment yesterday that the issue of these certificates for the two. weeks period, starting July 23, wfU be only $500,000,000 for the. United States as against $750,000,000 heretofore. This will reduce the total of subscriptions to be raised in this district to about $35,000,000. instead of $53,000,000. The committee hopes, however, that ' this district will come through with its former quota at this time. If it does, the pending deficiency ia its subscrip tions will be met. Local Demands) Blamed The director of ealest for this district is B. W. WHson, vice-president of the Anglo & London Pari? National Bank, of San Francisco, with whom, Mr. Kelty is associated. "Our Government has asked that each banking institution throughout the country eet aside 2 per cent of its gross resources, meaning its foot ings of assets and liabilities, for the purchase of these certificates every two weeks." said Mr. Kelty yesterday. "In the larger cities, for the most part, purchases of certificates have been all that could be asked, but in many of the country districts the response has been very disappointing. "Very rarely has this been, due to any lack of sympathy or co-operation with tUe Government's plan of finan cing the war. From the tenor of cor respondence had with about two-thirds of the banks in the district, the failure to subscribe has been due to pressinc local demands tor funds. War expense Increase. "The certificates are. issued in antic ipation of the fourth liberty loan, which it is expected will bo offered the latter part of 'October, Expenditures of our Government in prosecution ef the war have now reached $1.50.9,600,009 monthly, which is at the rate of the monthly offerings of certificates. These expenditures are increasing at the rate of $100,000,000 monthly. The total amount of certificates to be issued in anticipation of the fourth liberty loan is $6,000,000,000. The two issues here tofore disposed of have each had a maturity of approximately four months, and those to be offered later will have varying maturities probably not longer. "The certificates of indebtedness are free from all taxes which, may be im posed by the United States, or any state or any political subdivision, thereof, with the exoeptlon. of estate or inheri tance taxes and graduated additional income taxes, commonly known as sur taxes and excess-profits and war taxes. Incomes from certificate, the principal amount of which doss, not exceed: $5000, owned by any person are entirely ex empt from taxes. The certificates are issued in denominations of $500, $1000, $5000, $10,000 and $100,009. Bankers Spurred to Action. "At maturity, these certificates will be paid in cash or may be exchanged for the Installment on Fourth, Liberty Loan bonds then due. They are net receivable in payment of taxes. "A number of letters and circulars have been sent out urging banks to follow the programme of the Govern ment and purchase certificates, accord ing to their quota, vis: Two and one third pr cent of their gross resources every two weeks. The attention of those banks who have thus far failed to Your Usefulness Fails when your eyesight fails.

Interests of Constituents Placed Above Temptation Vlaii Enron Wit Naval Affair Committee. ORECrQNIAJ NEWS BUREAU. "ash. ington. July, JO. Because of a' large amount of official -business he ia look ing after in the various departments in behalf of his district and his con stituents. Representative McArthur de cided not to leave 'Washington during the six weeks' recess, either to join the other members of the naval com mittee in their , trip to Europe or to visit li home state. . The naval committee has gone to Eu rope on a Government ship for the pur pose of inspecting the naval establish ments of the allies. As a sort of junket combined with some business, that would have an Interesting and enjoy able trip. A sojourn of a few weeks in Portland would have been a good opportunity to do some campaigning. But Mr. MeArthur could not see hia way clear to undertake either. "I regret my Inability to accompany the naval affairs committee," said Mr. McArthur today. "I feel that certain departmental matters which I have un der consideration will demand practi cally all of; my time during the, next few weeks, and that my place Is here. "One o the bills in which I am. in terested is the bill for the protection of Portland's water supply. -which has been referred to the Forest Service. I shall hold a conference with Forest Service officials on this measure within the next few days and hope to have the bill on the House calendar when Congress resumes work on August 19, "I also have many departmental mat ters under consideration and will en deavor to dispose of them before the House reconvenes- Many of these mat tars concern Ore iron soldiers and sailors and thejr dependents, and l would re gard myself as a contemptible "slacker' it I were, to lau to Iook alter meir in terests. "The present trip of th naval affairs committee will be highly interesting and comparatively safe, and I regret that I could not join the party, but I regard ray work here as of primary im portance and cannot shirk it for my own pleasure or entertainment. "I am not in favor of the present three-day recess- periods, as the legis lative calendar- is crowded with linpor-j tant measures that ought to have been acted upon. Take the waterpower bill. for instance; It is of; more importance to the people of the Pacific, Northwest than the Panama Canal, as the enact ment of the proper kind of a law will make our section a great manufactur ing center. This measure should, by all means, be enacted without further de lay. "I don't look for final adjournment of the session before October 1. but I shall, Of course, return to Oregon as soon, as possible after the session ends," WAR TOPIC OF ADDRESS DR.

(Spe cial. ) Many could so to Europe, per haps, and. see the things that are making- world history at present, but few could return to thta country with a story so impressive and appealing as that of Lincoln D, Wirt, who lectured this afternoon at the Gladstone Chau tauqua before S000 persons. As war correspondent, member of an ambulance corps and a special envoy of the Gov ernment to the war zone. Mr. Wirt saw much and his story is a tellini? one. The speaker dwelt especially on the service, rendered by "the Red Cross to the wounded and sick of France. He told of the work in the trenches, ef the stretcher-bearers going out under fire, without arms, and without de fense He told of Oerman bombs drop plug on Red Cross hospitals and am, balances. He dwelt on Red Cross meth ods in handling funds and supplies from central points, and of how they have rebuilt cities, aided refugees, re united the homeless,- ministered to the sick and dying and provided for the mutilated and maimed. Tears streamed down the cheeks of many women this afternoon when they heard the story of what the women pf France had suf, fered. Mr. Wirt epoke plainly. He was sent by the government to see and to report, and the cold, hard facts rolled out in hie talk this afternoon in rapid succes sion. To the women who were holding back their husbands, brothers and sons who were anxious to go over and fight, he said that in the glorious day when the boys came home, and the crowds were lined up to do them honor, the husband or son pr brother who had been kept at home by spurious excuses would turn upon the woman and curse her. Following Mr. Wirt's lecture appeared the Treble Clef, four charming girls in vocal and instrumental numbers. They sang In various combinations, and their readings were excellent. They were al so on the evening programme, at which time Pr, Edna Eugenia Lowe talked on "Danger Signals on the Road to Health," and Ned woodman; cartoonist- lecturer, gave an exhibition of crayon work. Both were well received. Tomorrow the Chautauqua manager- ipent has arranged a final programme of exceptional merit. The Home Folks' concert and the great lecture. "Grapes of Gold." by Rev. H. V. Adams, will be the afternoon features, and in the eve ning Mildred Leo Clemens will be heard in '-Rambling Through Paradise." a de scriptive talk on the Hawaiian Islands. With her will be heard . the Royal Hawaiian Quintette, led by Joseph K kuku. 11 s ' " 1 ,l " PR. WIRT PRAISES YANKEE? Red Cross Head petlghts Large Crowd at Auditorium.

That the boys from this country are being hailed over there as miracle workers and, that the work of the Red Cross among the French civilians and soldiers has been- worth a million and a half men to that nation, were state ments greeted with cheers. General Petain was authority for the latter statement, the speaker explained. Tr'Pute was paid to the stretcher bearers, doctors and nurses all pon, combatants who can't resist the Hun atrocities. "They deserve the highest praise." said Mr. Wirt. "I can't forget that Soiesons hospital we visited.

They go over Republicans and Democrats they are coming back Americans; they go over Methodists, Congregationalisms and Catholics they are coming back Chris tians.
