THE CHRISTMAS SHIP
Gratitude Is Expressed for
the - Kindly Thoughts That
Prompted Sending Jason.
Genoa, Dec. 12. By direction of the
government of Montenegro, a commis
sion called on, J. C. O'Laughlln, In
charge of the Christmas ship cargo
aboard the United States collier Jason,
to express gratitude to the American
children for remembering the Monte
negrin orphans of the war. The com
mission was sent specially to Genoa
to discharge what the 'members de
scribed as a pleasant duty. The com
mission stated that all arrangements
had been made for the distribution of
the gifts, which will be heartily wel
comed. Italian Government Aids Distribution,
The Italian government has been
specially, sympathetic and has given
pvery facility for forwarding the gifts,
'even at great cost. It provided, free
of charge, the pier alongside which
the U, S. S. Jason was placed, the
necessary lighters and labor for un
loading the gifts, wagons to convey
the goods to the freight depot, railroad
transportation for the Austrian and
German gifts to the Austrian frontier
and for the Montenegrin gifts to Biyl.
Italy. From Bari the Montenegrin
gifts will be sent across the Adriatic
to Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro.
Hext Fort Is Salonika.
The Jason will leave next week for
Salonika, where Lieutenant Comman
der Courtney will deliver to the Ser
vian consul the gift destined for the
bervlan orphans. The. Greek . govern
ment has arranged to facilitate trans
portation through its territory.
France extended a hearty welcome
to the United States steamship Jason,
the Chicago Herald's Christmas ship,
bringing the gifts of tho children of
America to the war orphans of France,
earlier in the week. From the time of
the Jason's arrival in the government
dock, where the ship was berthed, until
late in the afternoon. Commander
Courtney and the representatives of
the children of the United States were
the recipients of official attention.
The jprefect' of the province of Bou-
chesdef hone and Mme. Schrameck gave
an official de jeuner.
The historic city of Marseilles was
still sleeping when the Jason arrived
at daybreak off the breakwater. A
single blank cartridge fired by the fort
caused the ship to anchor for 10 min
utes, then, with a pilot aboard, per
mission ;was given to proceed. The
vessel steamed slowly through the
channel, passing by the Chateau D'lf
made famous by. Alexander Dumas in
"Monte Cristo," which now Is used as
a place of detention for German pris
oners. Sainted by Soldiers.
Bright sunlight flooded the pictur
esque hills studded with factories,
whose tall chimneys furnished mute
evidence of the Industrial activity of
this part of France, and the Jason
finally entered the breakwater, steam
ing past the docks whereon were sta
tioned s soldiers clad in their striking
blue and red uniforms. As the Jason
backed into the berth there was seen
on the dock a group of officials, some
In uniform, representing the French
government. ' As soon as the gang
plank was put over the side. , Consul
General Gaulin mounted the ship, fol
lowed by Prefect Schrameck, a repres
entative of the military governor of
Marseilles, and the Comite de Secours
National, the latter charged with the
distribution of the gifts for the or
phans of France.
Commander Courtnev and Mr.
6'Laughlin received the distinguished
visitors pn the gangway and were in
troduced by Mr. Gaulin. M. Schram
eck, with bared head, delivered a short
and eloquent address and declared the
historic sympathy and friendship
which exists between America and
France and which always has existed
since the time of Lafayette was em
phasized by the action of the children
of America in remembering the dis
tress of the orphans of France on
Christmas day.
"The action of the American chil
dren brings tears to our eyes from full
hearts," he said. "Representing the
French government and in its name
I welcome yon to Marseilles and thank
you and the donora for their kindly
thought and remembrance of us in
this crucial hour."

Oregon M&de Goods
Urged for Purchase
Governor West and Mayor Albee Issue
Official Proclamation for Good of
State.
By official proclamation of Governor
West and Mayor Albee, all citizens are
to pause for a moment at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning and ponder this
fact. "Purchase of Oregon-made goods
means more prosperity for Oregon."
For tomorrows is "prosperity day"
throughout the state. All the mayois
have proclaimed it for the benefit of
their home people. Portland's people
will find ample reminder of the need
of patronizing home industry in every
store In town. Banners will flare at
them, and cards will advise them.
If everybody in the state buys an
Oregon .made article tomorrow instead
of the Chicago made or New Tork
made or Paris, made article he figured
on buying, experts say $1,000,000 will
be held here at home which otherwise
would seek remote corners of the
world.
The Oregon Industry league has
asked and secured the cooperation of
between 600 and 700 Portland mer
chants to feature Oregon goods tomor
row. .This special will include the dis
play of banners bearing slogans some
thing like this:
Oregon Products Sell on Merit.
It's Good Business to Patronize Ore
gon Industry.
It Pays to Keep Oregon Monev in
Oregon.
Safety First Use Oregon Products.
Made in Oregon's Not Enousrh
Trade In Oregon, That's the Stuff.
in addition. 15,000 cards will be dis
tributed with the following inscrip
tion:
"This card is a reward of merit to
the holder in furthering the idea that
Oregon needs bigger payrolls; mora
home industries; that it is necessary
for Oregon to patronize home indus
try; that whenever price and quality
are equal, preference be given articles
produced in Oregon." This is signed
by the Oregon Industry league.
Many merchants are featuring - in
today's advertisements the Made-in-
Oregon idea, in many cases announcing
special sales on Oregon products.
For several days the "movie" the
atres have been flashing on their
screens little Made-in-Oregon slogans.
Frederick T. Hyskell has announced it
at several of the luncheon clubs and
Dean Vincent promulgated the idea be
fore the Realty Board Friday.

sharaelexs , but plausible beggar re
ceives aid that only helps to pauper
ize him.
On various street corners you will
see solicitors for the "Nazarene Army
with their i placards announcing they
are to give a Christmas dinner to the
poor and help to the suffering women
and children. The address given is
"Nazarene ; Home." 7110 Mississippi
avenue.
Some time ago I as lied one of the
solicitors how many wolnen they were
maintaining in their institution. "We
have one old German woman. She'
stays there all the time." he said. At
the-"home'T I found Mrs. Emma Stacy.
Here Is her story: "We were organ
ized June 27, 1911, under our present
name. Here Is the incorporation cer
tificate from Secretary of State Ben
Olcott allowing us to solicit. Yes, we
were- in Seattle for a while, but we
left there. We have given up all our
branches but the one here In Portland.-
i
Entirely Family Affair.
"Win. Stacy, my husband . is Com
mander in Chief of the army, I am
Chief of Staff. My old father, Ed
ward Steurnagel, is a major, so is my
mother a major. My little boy Willie
is a lieutenant. That is all we have
in the- army now but at holiday times
we hire solicitors on a commission
basis and they are captains. Lieuten
ant : Stacy, my thirteen-year-old son
is the most successful solicitor we
have. He works the oTflce buildings
and takes in more than 'any solici
tor we can hire. He took in over
$7 the day before Thanksgiving."
"What do you do with the money
you take in?" I inquired.
"Well, we never get . In enough to
pay our salaries. My. husband is sup
posed to get $25 a week. I only get'
$15 a week. My old father is on the
salary list for $30 a month, my moth
er also gets $30 a month. The solici
tors get 25 per cent of what they
take in. so you 6ee that uses the
money up. We gave $30 to charity
last year. I have made up a state
ment that you can have. See we took
in $1501 last year and we have . taken
In $1405 this year already.'
Paid $25 for Charity.
"We spent $20 for printing, $15 for
light, $13 for water, $62 for carfare,
$125 for provisions, $30 for gas. $18 for
telephone,! $20 for postage. $138 for
help, $35 for fuel and $25 for charity.
Then we 'charged, up $600 for rent.
This year the other expenses are about
the 1 samej but we have given. $30 to
charity in place of -$25 as last year.
Here is the list of- how many people
we have given shelter to. In 1913, 400
women, this year, 395. . -
"How many women do you glvo
homes toiright along-?" I "asked.
"None, i We Just take them in for
a few nights and Bometlmes two or
three weeks."
"I thought you kept one old German
lady all the time," I said.
"Oh, yes, that is my mother."
"But she Is on your salary roll as
an officer."
"Yes. But we have four beds and
can shelter four people at once if
necessary."
Asking i at the .various houses in
the neighborhood I was told that they
tent rooms and if the people can not
pay they are put out.
"Do many women come to the
home?" I asked of a person in the
neighborhood.
Woman Asked to Ihti.
"No, I don't see hardly any come
there. A while ago -a woman came
to me and said she had been there
three weeks and had paid them till
the money cha had so she had to leave.
he said they wouldn't keep a per-
RHi Miier uieir money was usea up.
Don't quote me, but 1 think they are
a bunch of crooks and grafters."
Looking up the matter from police
records and from other sources. I
found some very .interesting evidence.
At Columbus, Ohio, this same organi
zation operated . under their former
name of the American Salvation Army.
It was admitted on the witness stand
that the i solicitors were paid 50 per
cent for soliciting, that 40 per cent
want to the local officer and that the
remaining 10 per cent was sent to the
head officers. At this time the Seat
tle branch was operated under the title
of the American Salvation Army. Later
on ' account of legal trouble it was
changed to "The Nazeren Army of
America.! The charity organization
of Seattle looked up their record and
report that the headquarters of this
organisation in Brooklyn was raided
by the police, as it was considered on
a par with the brothels of the neigh
borhood. The record of the. juvenile
court at Seattle shows that .Daisy

Letter Zs Submitted.
The following letter from the chil
dren's bureau .of Detroit, which works
along the same line as does our Juve
nile court here, gives an Interesting
sidelight on "General" Stacy. The
letter follows:
"We are interested In Mrs. Lillle
Lockwood. who i separated from her
husband some years ago and is now
supporting herself and two children
in Detroit. She says her father, Will
iam Stacy, adjutant of the American
Salvation Army of Portland. Or., owes
her $35, which he repeatedly prom
ises to pay, but has failed to do sa
Will you kindly aid us by calling on
him and trying to procure the money
for the woman, who is in great need?
If you are unable to trace him In
Portland, he - may have gone to Se
attle.
EVELYN GARDNER. Director."
i On April 17, 1812. Adjutant Edward
F. Baldwin of the Salvation Army Is
sued a public warning as- to Stacvs
methods. He warned the public
against giving funds to this man and
exposed his record.
From tho above It would seem that
neither the benevolent public nor the
suffering poor are much benefited by
the- Nazarene- Army of America.
