TITE SUXDAY OREGONIAJf, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 27, 1918. 1 Reeoaatrartloa Aldra Trainlas la Oec laatraetioa l adrr IHrertiua of the rpiWENTT-OXE student aides are en- rolled in the classes etvdying oc cupational therapy, one of the most Interesting phases of curative process of reconstruction worm which are held In the Art Museum under the direction of the Portland Art Association. Miss A. E. Crocker, curator of the museum and director of the rt school, has chart of the classes and is assisted by Sli.s H"lcn Putnam, instructor in design and handicrafts: Henry K. Wentx, Instructor in crafts and design: MifS Henrietta Failing, instructor in art history, and Miss Clara J. Stephens, instructor in free-hand drawing. While the outline of cttidy has been well worked out and includes a defi nitely planned course which will render the reconstruction aide resourceful and efficient in work among psychopathic patients, the work as applied is still in experimental stages, although it is being used in many of the military hospitals in America and In Krance. Families Xwt Be Edarate. "While we are training the aides for hospital duty we are obliged at the same time to wage a public educational campnlen, preparing the families of wounded soldiers for the possibilities of a life of further usefulness for the returned soldier, and we are also obliged to convert the soldier himself." said Miss Putnam, who has recently returned from New York, where she has watched the reconstruction work ap-plied.- "Wlth the host of men who will be returned to tia an cripples for life, we must begin Immediately to disassociate cripples from pauperism." said Miss Putnam. "The cripple must fit him self to take his place in society as an economic factor not only for the good of the Nation, but for the permanent benefit of the cripple himself." The work to be taught by the aides Includes all the handicrafts that re quire little exertion, such as bead work. which has enjoyed such a vogue In th French hospitals: woodcarving. model ing, basketry and handweaving. Jn addition to this the more practical branches are taught where the men have recovered more fully and areble to stand the mental strain accompany ing the etudy of telegraphy, typewrit ing and the making of artificial limbs. In the handicrafts colors are used wherever it is possible and the major ity of the articles require an original design, for not only is the asset of beauty regarded as of great therapeutic value, hut the greatest problem at hand Is solved when the patient becomes suf ficiently interested to work out hia own design. Output t Marketed Yet. As yet the commercial possibilities of the soldiers' products has not been developed and there has been no organ ized effort to market the articles fin ished, but this will be a matter that may also be cared for by the soldiers themselves. Aides now In training at the Art Mu lum are taught lot only the handi crafts but are also given two lecture courses. Dr. Kohs. of Keed College, is supplying a course in the psychology of reconstruction and Dr. Hart Is giv ing a lecture course on principles of pedagogy. ln addition to the training that we give it is necessary that the aide have tact and personality and patience. She must also be endowed with a normal amount of common sense and resource- I 1 ' f I I .. '' 1 !' - ail-' - fulness. Jn every hospital the aide works directly under a head aide, who. In turn. Is under the direction of the head nurse and medical director of the hospital. Thus she works under compe tent supervision at all times." said Miss Crocker, director of the art school. llxerelae Impertaut Farter. "This work will also help to refit the cripples for entering the industries. Kxercise Is an all-important factor in the convalescence of many of the In jured and much that is beneficial in the form of gentle exercise may be found in weaving and other forms of dur oc cupational work." Demands for aides In occupational therapy at present exceed the facilities for training them. The class at the Tortlnnd museum Is limited to 20 on account of the limited equipment, and , a drive for $10,000 which will permit of a large field for training women for this work has already been started. J. C. Knglish. Hi Fifth street, is chair man of the drive and he is assisted by A. K. Doyle. Work of American Women in France Is Told. letter l"nw Mrs. Robert Treat Pratt Hrlatea Bravery ef Wsaiaet Soldier I adrr Difficult teadl. Hobs. A x lnt XX ceiv interesting letter has been re- wed from Mrs. Robert Treat Plait, former Northwest chairman for the American Committee for Devas tated France, who, is now In France working among refugees -under Mrs. Anne Murrsy Dike, commissioner in France for the American committee. Mrs. Piatt left Portland in August and this is the first letter that has been received from t.er since her arrival in France. She mentions the decorations of the Croix de tlurre received last month by Mrs. Die and Miss Anne Morgan, vice-president of the commit tee. The letter follows: "I am inclosing a copy of the letter received by Mrs. Dike from M.

"I am working on the adjustment of models of a garment here in the Parts ouvoir to get to America exactly what the refugees waat and to find how we can better meet their demands. We have many each day In our Paris head quarters who come to be furnished with clothes and to get orders for furnish ing their homes again. It is wonderful to see their gratitude. "Wa are also maintaining a big sew ing ouvoir, giving many refugees work in making the garments, and thus do ing a double service. The American committee is doing a great work. We have made it pnssiblo for the Ameri can W omens Hospital to enter the Aisne. Jn a short time I am to make a tour of the devastee to see all our work. "I had my first raid experience last Sunday. One bomb fell in the garden of the Rlt Hotel, only five blocks from here. We all went to the wine cellars of this hotel, where we spent the nignt waiting for the raid to end. Seventy were killed that night. France la so wonderful In her self-denial and her courage, and one wonders at it after four years. I made a visit to our Red Cross hos pital at Neuilly, which was Mrs. Van- derbilt's before the Red Cross took it over. She is still in charge. It is now run of our wonderful boys who fought at Chateau-Thierry. I talked with many of them. One had seen German women chained to machine guns. Another had gone over the top to bring back 30 Germans and he was wounded all the time. Such bright smiles as they had and such determination to fight until absolute victory is ours. They have seen such horrors as many only dreamed could be true, auch as our boys crucified, heads down, with bayo nets through their foreheads. Such horrors have made our men like super men and one sees a different look in men s eyes who have fought and seen. "We are all proud of our boya over here. I do hope men of the highest education, training and breeding will give tneir services to the r. M. C. A. and the Red Cross. We need the best over here to carry on. It Is wonderful to see the men who are coming now. giving up their professions with no thought or gain and with no other idea than to give their best. Professor How ard, of Berkeley, is to be near Bor deaux In refugee service and to care for our boys. He has two sons fight ing and is giving all to the service. There are many others like him. Miss Bain, of Portland, crossed with us. She will do big things, I am sure, in her T. W. C. A. service. She had charge of the women workers who came over with us. "We have our bread tickets and our sugar tickets and it is great fun to see us crowd the Lnited States com missary, where Uncle Sam sells to ns at cost such things as white bread crackers, canned soups. Jams and other good American foods a life-saving business at present food prices in Paris. Surely food restriction and prices make r-aris a oeauiy parlor one can t get stout. I hope Oregon sends the American committee all the dried fruits and veg etables she can find steamer space for. we shall need them most dreadfully this coming Winter." Woman Suffragists Have a Good Loan Record Eaergtea ef National Associatioa Bark ef Boad Campaign. WHILE still suffering the disap pointment of defeat at the hands of Democrats in the Senate who failed to accord them a two-thirds vote nec essary to pass the national suffrage amendment, members of the National American Woman Suffrage Associa tion, of which Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt of New York is president, recently turned their whole energies to the ob ligations of the fourth liberty loan. while it is not possible to get a defi nite account of the work done by the .-national butirage women, it is slgnlfi csnt that In every locality where the work of the women has been pursued with any amount of success members of the association have been directly behind the undertaking. The Oregon Suffrage Alliance, the state branch of the National Woman Suffrage Association, of which Mrs. Kelley Rees of Portland is president, has provided a group qf energetic women who have, according to the county reports which are now comfng in, secured tu per cent or the sub scriptions for the state. Mrs Sarah A. Evans, state chairman of the woman's liberty loan committee is a member of the state executive board of the alliance. Mrs. Rees, president ef the alliance, served as secretary of the woman's lib erty loan committee. Mrs. Donald Spencer, also a mem ber of the board of the alliance, was chairman of the music committee of the woman's liberty loan committee. Mrs. Charles E. Curry, another active woman in the alliance, served as chair man of the foreign committee of the liberty loan, and Mrs. Thomas C. Burke, a member of the board of the alliance, also served on the music committee. Mrs. John Keating, a member of the executive board of the alliance, served as captain of a team which made a house to bouse canvas for subscrip tions. e The Metxger Women's Club re-elected Mrs. H. M.

Old French City Appeals to Overseas Worker. Miss Elisabeth Fox Secretary Women's Clubhouse. M1 ISS ELIZABETH FOX, dean of women of the University of Ore gon, who is secretary of one of tne signal Corps Women's Club houses maintained by the T. W. C. A. in ITance, has written a beautiful de scrintion of the old French city. Tours, where she is stationed, giving a graphic description of the social life of the girls of the American Signal Corns, the British Women's Army Aux ilUry Corps and the French women in war work, who gather at the hostess house. Miss Fox. who is. absent rrom the University of Oregon on leave, has been in France for the past six montns. The letter follows: "1 Rue Marlgnan. Tours (Indre and Loire) Tours, the city of towers, it is well named! Many an evening I have watched the lights and shadows play across those ruins, centuries old, as they rise majestic above the city on the banks of the River Loire. There stands the old clock tower of the Cathedral of St. Martin and the Tour de Charle magne, built In honor of his wife, who was buried in the Cathedral in suu. in curious contrast and very close to these is the beautiful modern dome or white marble church i'Eglise de St. Martin. There are other towers of in terest, the curious little turrets of the 16th century residences, still occupied hv living, laughing, suffering tolK There is the low tower of the Duke of Guise, and the very old tower bases of the Roman wall built -when Tours was Caesarodunum. But the picture one will never forget is the Cathedral St. Gatien the present Cathedral of Tours. The twin sister towers of this are magnificent. All this one sees from the Y. w. c A. recreation field on an-4sland in the Loire. A more restful and a more pic turesque place one could not find. It was my pleasure to go first to -the island shortly after I arrived in France last Spring with an artiBt friend, a Scot, who has affiliated herself with the American Y. W. C. A. because she finds therein opportunity to serve the women of the allied nations. v e dreamed of the Summer picnics and frolics there and we have seen all our dreams come true. Hundreds of girls enjoyed the quiet and rest of the place and hundreds have loved the merry making. There have been parties for the W. A. A. C. girls, the British Women's Army Auxiliary Corps and picnic suppers for the Army nurse and the telephone women of the American Signal Corps, the Quartermaster Amerl can Women and the trench women working with the American Army. Tout le monue enjoys our island. "The Y. W. C. A. has a hostess house In Tours. It is the social center for American women and the men love it. too. The large street door gives on a lovely littlo garden where one finds chairs and tables scattered about. There are a few permanent residents, but the house is not large enough to meet the ever-increasing demand for transient and permanent housing. The small dining-room is bursting its sides, but there is light ahead. The small hotel of which I have had charge as the resi dence for the Signal Corps women is soon to be a women's hotel under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. We have outgrown it and are going to move into a much larger and grander place a hotel with 45 bedrooms and one bathroom. I am reminded of a re mark made by .one of the foreign guests at a world's student conference 'held some years ago at Lake Mohonk in New York State 'I am astonished at the number of bathtubs you Ameri cans have in your hotels.' We are anticipating a comfortable Winter in the new residence. "I spoke of the W. A. A. C. We call them the Waacs. They are loaned by the British government to the Ameri can Army for clerical and office work. We had the pleasure of seeing them go into the offices to replace men and we saw the men actually go to the front. The T. W. C. A. furnished the rest hut at their barracks and one of our sec retaries gives her whole time to their interests. . "There is a rest room for the nurses at our post hospital, and a Y. W. C. A. secretary is on duty there. "We have a most interesting French club The Foyer des Allies with a membership of over iOO. The idea of clubs for the girls is pew to our French friends, but they are enjoying it as much as any group of girls ever en joyed a city association in America, land you would find the same activi-I ! tiea here as at home. ! "All of our work is Interesting and tremendously necessary, but I am espe ! cially proud to be in charge of the I second residence established for the American women who have dffered their services as telephone operators and 'to have a supervisory interest in j a number of smaller residences in other cities. We can well be proud ot the services all our women are giving and of the spirit in which they serve." Auxiliary to Company B, 162d In fantry, will meet Tuesday afternoon from 1 to 4 at the T. W. C. A. audito rium to pick sphagnum moss. The Red Cross rooms of the T. W. C. A. will be open to business women every evening at 7 o'clock to make sphagnum moss dressings. Motor Squad Girls Make Nurse's Work Easier. Visits to Inflnensa Sufferers in Out lying Districts of City Are Made In Automobile. THE six visiting nurses of the Visit ing Nurse Association who answer calls for general cases are endeavoring to cover the entire city, and during the present epidemic of Spanish influ enza they are putting in long hours and taking no afternoons off duty. The girls of the Red Cross Motor Squad have been of great assistance during this emergency, having pro vided one auto every day for the week, and with this help one of the nurses was enabled to make five visits in one morning in one of the far-out dis tricts, which usually would have taken an entire day. Two members of the staff who are Red Cross nurses have felt the desire for overseas service, but in accordance with a'dvice from Miss Jane Delano, di rector of the Red Cross Bureau of Nursing, have remained in the public health wjork here. One of the former nurses on the staff. Miss J. A. Kenny, is now caring for chock patients in France. PACIFIC SETS FINE BOOKS VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE MADE TO UNIVERSITY. Library Now Contains More Than 20,000 Volumes, Including Rare and Ancient Works. PACIFIC UNIVERSITY. Forest Grove. Or., Oct. 25 (Special.) The university library has recently received several fine gifts. Mrs. Frederick Eg- gert, chairman of the scholarship loan fund of the Federated Woman's Clubs of Oregon, presented a splendid set ot the LCncyclopedla Americana. Mrs. Showers, of Forest Grove, contributed an interesting old ediition of Shakes peare. Professor Edward Taylor, of Pacific, gave a copy of each of the fol lowing: Wells, "Mr. Britling Sees It Through": Hay, "The First Hundred Thousand"; Cholmondeley, "Christine," and a rare volume by David Ramsey, published In 1807, "Life of George Washington." The library now contains more than 20,000 volumes, covering a wide range of subjects. This collection was begun in the early days of the college by Dr. Atkinson, who secured over 1000 vol umes for it. Later President Marsh and Professor George Perkins Marsh added many choice works and some complete sets of classics. Many of the books were gifts from the private li braries of authors, alumni and other friends of the school. Longfellow, Ru fus Choate and Edward Everett Hale were generous contributors. Pacific has a rare collection of old books. One of the oldest is a copy of Ptolemy's "Universal Geography," printed in 1542 at Basle and presented to Sidney E. Morse by bis eldest brother, S. B. F.

JS ,' V- . .. . V-:.: 4 K:. is:-: ?'4 ::V:iJi! - t - -A - . - ' ' tl II MIM lmii t ' ' BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. Steep Trails, by John Mulr, 3. Illustrated. Houghton-Mifflin Co., Boston. John Mulr was at his best in describ ing the wild beauties of nature. One cannot pick up a book bearing the name of Mulr and expect to find in it an enthusiastic appreciation of a city skyscraper, an automobile or a hoard of dollars. Yet,' in life we need all these. No, John Muir rather preferred the path of the naturalist, and even now he is supreme there. The papers contained in this volume of 391 pages are edited by William Frederic Bade, and the chapters, prin cipally about the natural beautses of the Pacific Northwest, are 24. The entire message shows John Mulr at his best. The most thrilling chapter is that one describing a perilous night passed by Muir on Mount Shasta, during a snow storm, and the danger element is sharply depicted. To Oregon people the most signifi cant chapter will be "The Physical and Climatic Characteristics of Oregon," "The Forests of Oregon and Their In habitants and The Rivers of Oregon.' Oregon is described by Muir as "i grand, hearty, wholesome, foodful wil derness and, like Washington, once part of Oregon Territory, abounds in bold, far-reaching contrasts as to seen ery, climate, soil and productions." As for the Columbia River Indians, wnen wnne men nrst explored this re gion, we meet with this description of these Indians: "Purely wild for un numbered centuries, a paradise of oily saimon-iea Indian?, Oregon is now roughly settled in part and surveyed. etc.- tpp ziij. "A scramble along the Oregon sea oiuns proves as richly excitine to lov ers of wild beauty as heart could wish." The author gives the erroneous im pression, from pages. 282-286, that "Ore gon is nearly all the time rain-soaked." un page we read that Portland "makes a telling picture of busy, aspir. mg civilization in the midst of the green wilderness in which it is plant- ea. On page 344: "As the Willamette is one of the most foodfdl of valleys, so is me Columbia one or the most food- iui or rivers. "To me it seems above all others the garden valley of Oregon and the most aengntrui ror a home." fn. 345). The Illustrations are quite attractive features of the book. John Muir died December 24. 1914. in Los Angeles, Cal., from the effects of pneumonia, in his 76th year. The German Secret Service in America, jiiv-ivio, uy donn jrrice jones ana iraui Merrick Hollister. Illustrated. Small, Maynard & Co., Boston. Mr. Jones, a reporter on the staff of the New York Sun newspaper, says he busied himself for more than a year securing proofs of Germany's guilt in natenmg acts of ruin and war in Amer ica. In this book of 340 pages Mr. Jones presents this story of Germany's secret agents in this country, up to early in 1918. But as Mr. Jones was busy for six months working on the liberty loan, his friend, Mr. Hollister, rearranged the work, and, no doubt, had much to do with its actual presentation after the story part waa completed. This story of German rogues un masked in this country is a most aston ishing, sensational one. There are 18 chapters. The book shows how secret agents of the Ger man government among them the Ger man Ambassador acting under orders, have attacked our National life, both before and after our declaration of war; how men and women in Germany's pay and on American soil planned und executed bribery, sedition, arson, the destruction of property and even mur der; how they sought to subvert to the advantage of the Teutonic allies the aims of our Government; howin short, they made enemies of the United States immediately the big war broke out in the Summer of 1914. The trails of guilt of Count von Bernstorff, Captains Franz von Papen and Karl Boy-Ed, Paul Koenig and other worthies, are laid bare. - The one joke of it all is that the co operators were often shadowed and their plots overheard by American se cret service men but dldn t Know it. The War and After, by Sir Oliver Lodge. SI. 50. Geor&-e H. Doran Co.. New York City. Ouite an illuminating book. Sir Oliver Lodge certainly unmasks the evil designs of a Germany- that is trying by force to conquer ana rule the world. He thinks that Prussia has been a danger and disaster to Ger many, as well as to the rest of the world; and that German unity has been more formal than real until the present tragic tightening of the bonds which precedes their snapping. Of course, our author assumes that Germany ultimately -will be dereaten in battle and compelled to accept the vic tors' terms. As for any rearrangement of Europe, "the peoples must largely settle it themselves. Heligoland should belong to Holstein, or if not, if should be made an inter national station. The present hap hazard Austrian Empire will break no. and it may be that the reconsti tuted Germany will gain an outlet to the Mediterranean, to develop its peace. fnl arts. The robberies of Prussia must go back to their owners. Germany nas no need of anv colonies in the Pacifiic Ultimately there may be a future for German colonies in Soutn America. Russia must not be land-locked, ana it must possess Constantinople. Serbia will face the Adriatic. The Turkish government will be ejected from Eu rope. Syria should be offered to the Jews. Party politics is too serious a mat'-.r to be accepted as means of gov ernment. Women will surely not have to re vert to their old unrecognized political position. The will of God shall yet be done on earth, some day. when it has become the human will likewise. Such are a few predictions and state ments from this wonderful book. The Doctor's Part, by Colonel James R. Church. M. D. Jl.50. Illustrated. D. Apple ton & Co., New York City. This is a new vision of care of wounded men in the big war. The de scriptive writing of it is graceful and informing. Dr. Church has kept out the sense of the horrible when he discusses field hospital surgery, often without anaesthenics. We meet with a true account or what is done for the wounded soldier by the stretcher-bearer the ambulance driver, the Red Cross nurse, the sur geon, etc. Dr. Church was commissioned by the United States in November, 1915, as military observer of medical procedure, to proceed to France and report as to medical conditions along the French battle front. He performs this task with skill. The book runs to 284 pages, and toward the end, on page 267, the an nouncement is made that the United States of America had then just entered the war. Fighting the Bosche Under Ground, by Cap tain H. D. Trounce. S1.50. Illustrated. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York City. It is a new reading experience to receive for review a war book which c-vers the experiences of an engineer sapper officer who principally has worked under the ground, rather than up above in the open, fighting Ger mans. Captain Trounce, now of the United States Engineers, belonged to the Brit ish Royal Engineers up to July, 1917.

The boou. is written in modest, un technical, straightforward fashion, and wonderful tales of the attacking powers of the "human moles" are related. Captain Trounce writes that the bat tle of Messines Ridge, July, 1916, was started at the "zero" hour by firing some 19 mines spread over a front of several kilometers, and that in these mines th aggregate of the total high explosive used and . fired at the eame instant was nearly 1,000,000 pounds. Some of the Individual charges had been laid, ready for firing, for more than one year. Out of the Shadow, by Hose Cohen. Illus trated. 92. George H. Doran Co.. rew. Tork City. Really, such an informing, simply eloquent book as this is, only comes at rare intervals. It is the revelation and confessions of a Russian girl of Jewish ancestry, born in Russia, who emi grated to America, and made good. Her story rises to the heights of uncon scious art. Miss Cohen "won out," and was not blessed by wealth, pull, or family in fluence only family love and the in herent goodness and perseverance of her race. The book consists of 313 pages. Dreary life in Russia gets 63 pages, and on page 64 Miss Cohen arrives at Castle Garden, New York, and meets her father. Then follows a recital of her wonderful struggle to live and to get education.

Hate the Hun and hate him with a will to vic tory. Hurt the Huns' bodies as the Huns hurt the bodies of other people. The Hun thinks he is above the law, and acts accordingly." This is the kernel of a remarkable, fiery message from Mr. Manners, a mes sage of 59 indignant pages. He shows that Germany is working to secure peace now to blot out the victories that the entente troops have won over German armies in the field. Mr. Man ners calls Germany "Outlaw Germany," and he insists: "Beware of a German peace. Don't trust Or believe the Hun. Defeat him first." The Woman Citizen, by Horace A. Hollister, Ph. D. S1.75. D. Appleton & Co., New York City. Dr. Hollister i3 professor of educa tion in the University of Illinois, and when he planned this book the world was still at peace. The writing of it began shortly after the United States entered the war. Dr. Hollister treats of women as citizens of the new democracy. He presents a survey of woman's status and achievements in the various fields of service, and discusses also the social, economic and religious life of women and war, motherhood, etc. A bright, informing, timely presen tation of a complex subject. A Reporter at Armageddon, by Will Irwin. SI. 50. . Appleton & Co., New York City. Mr. Irwin Is called the "ace" of American war correspondents. He writes with intensely graphic descrip tive abilities, and is never dry from the reader's point of view. In this war-book, Mr. Irwin gives his personal observations at the battle fronts in France and Italy, with side lights on conditions and people in Spain and Switzerland. The Applewoman of the Klickitat, by Anna van Kensselaer Morns, S1.5U. Illustrated. Duf field & Co., New ork City.

American adventur er, soldier of fortune and escaped pris oner from Germany, from whence he had been taken as a soldier of the French Foreign Legion, is the hero ol this rapid-action, most readable novel.
