Recruit Ing stations are all over the city and at every hour of the day, speakers are urging the young men to come in. And one sees many more young men here than any place else; young men waiters. young dancers, young clerks, young men on the stage and I wonder at It. but no doubt, as Ring Lardner nays, they will all be enlisted in the draft soon. M Who Caa Fight Moat Neexlrd- The National Red Cross organization here Is a very remarkable one for size, and system, considering that It Is al most entirely volunteer. Hundreds of people pass through their hands In the course of a day, making applications for passports, being equipped and In structed and preparing for departure. "Many are called but few depart on time." Through It all, and with many complaints and many expressions of dissatisfaction hurled at them, the men and women In charge of the various bureaus are always patient and cour teous and try in every way to lessen the disappointment of those who fall to leave on schedule. They are just as much affected by the war as If they were In France except for the lack of danger they can move no faster than Four Sailing Dates Assigned, but Great Need for Fighting Men Overseas Tse Every Bit of Space on Transports. t 't MRS. GIXTXER TO WRITE FOR THE ORECOMAX. This Is the first of a series of letters from Mrs. Edmond C Gilt ner that are to be published in The Oregonlan. Mrs. Olltner, who is a prominent Portland woman, is now In New Tork on her way to France, where she will serve as a Red Cross nurse. She has a wide acquaintance among Orego nlans In France, both in the Red Cross service and in the Army; Is an experienced writer, and her letters will doubtless be of much Interest in Portland and through out the Paclflo Northwest.

Red Cross Workers Mast Walt. The activities of the past two weeks have made It necessary for the Govern ment to use every available bit of space for sending over men and sup plies, and while nurses are more than ever needed cables come every day telling of the urgent call the Red Cross has been able to obtain very few reservations at any sailing, and there are waiting in New Tork today proba bly 200 Red Cross workers men and women who were expecting to sail as I was. borne are pleasant and make the .best of it, while others do a lot of complaining and are perfectly well as sured they could run things In a man ner to do away with all uncertainties! The result is that they help matters not a bit and upset their own dispo sitions. Mr. Greene, chaplain of Base Hos pital No. 46. got away only after wait ing two months. Some new ruling re garding chaplains had gone Into effect about the time the unit reached Camp Merrltt and he was detained.' And the nurses of No. 44 also waited here nearly two months before sailing, after a years wait in Portland. One thing vrejoa is not nrst in, people embarked." Aeed for Ships Very Great. The need for ships is very great and surely never more felt than now; in going- up and down the harbor, we see simply hundreds of docks Piled hle-h with material for foreign shipment and surprised if I am still waiting; I have a large fund of patience fortunate!? and kind frj.ds help me to pass the days pleasantly, so I shan't complain of small things with so great an expert ence ahead.

Because Instructions have been given fishermen by the Tallant-Grant Pack ing Company of Astoria to throw rock and ling cod caught in their nets over board, the Municipal Fish Market of Portland, cannot secure fish from this firm gratis as was reported some time ago, according to a letter received, from the firm by City Commissioner ii-ei laher. Several weeks ago a report was re ceived from Astoria that anyone de siring rock cod could secure a supply without cost from the Tallant-Urant Packing Company. Mr. Kellaher tele graphed to the firm seeking to learn what quantity he could secure. In a letter received from the pack ens. It was said that n mermen Dad been told not to bring in any more cod, and that they must throw them over board before coming in the river. CARD OF THANKS.

The recommendation that Port land should be able to "draw into Its schools each year large numbers of well-trained- and experienced Eastern teachers, and that, where this is possi ble, to accept less is an educational mistake," is regarded as a significant toplo for consideration in the Minne sota city.
