WITH GREAT SUCCESS During Year 207,936 Declar ations of Intention Filed and 108,009 Petitions. NAVAL CRAFT ATTRACTED first Class. Crulsrs Com to Oat aru Ttak Sailors Boloters on Cruises. The value an a means to prepared ness and as a school of efficiency of the Oregon Naval MiUtla Is set forth Jn a recent discussion of ths organi sation. It is contended that it provides a training school for young men tht fits them for civic life enlarging their Individual capabilities. It also Is a means of securing rec ognition for Portland as a port. The federal government will appro priate 1300 for every (38 Oregon will appropriate in providing for and train ing an Oregon Naval Militia force. It Is considered good policy to secure federal appropriations for good roads dollar for dollar. For state and n-i tlonal defence eight and one-third times is offered. Payroll Is Substantial. If the Oregon Naval Militia keeps up to an average of 225 men there Is a total annual federal appropria tion of 1140 per man given in pay. or $31,500, which Is a payroll wo-Ui looking after. In addition there are rations and clothing allowances of $85 per man, or $7875. The pay of the officers will total nearly $7000 In addition each year. The cost of a cruiser like the Mar blehead for pay and subsistence Is $71,000, paid to the regular crew and officers, an amount largely spent whero paid. If a larger vessel is placed at k a jtimnui nf that Bt at a forces the Tmvroll nd cxDense is greater, anJ might easily run over $100,000 a year Th Oreaon Naval Militia has re ceived oer year $7500 from the state and has had on its rolls at one tim as high as- 12 officers and 238 men. Six annual cruises have been taken. and during the tlnSe spent at sea every officer and man has received full pay at the same rate as men of equal rank in the navy. Instruction Is Thoroug. The Instruction given officers and men throughout the year and on the cruises embraces a large number of subjects and special courses. Regular officers are detailed to look after these instructions as far as possible to qualify the officers and men tor active service. A number of young men who have taken a year or mora of this training have enlisted in the navy, and in every Instance have mads good, They have found their ervtc In the Naval MiUtla assisted them to more rapid promotion and recognition. In several fires the Naval Militia has been of service in this city, and can be called together in very short order in times of public danger, conflagra tlon flood or disaster of any kind, as assistants to the authorities. Their efficiency, courage and faithfulness has been tested. Many Kinds of Instruction. Atyiong the many kinds of lnstruc tfcm given are discipline and duty, quarters and drills, clearing ship; marking clothes, lashing hammocks, boats and handling of them, knotting, splicing, cordage. blocks, tackles, rlggs, sails, infantry and artillery practice and rules; personal sanitation, electrical and other trades; hospital service. During the 1918 cruise the small number of regular officers and men on the cruiser Marblehead made it neces sary that in stress of weather the Naval Militia handle and navigate the tup, which, was done for 17 days, trav ellng about S000 miles and encounter ing ordinary sea hazards.

The first time a war vessel of the first class ever crossed the bar and anchored In Port land was In 191?, when the Maryland, Captain EH 11 cot, commanding, cam to take the Oregon boys on their cruise. Shortly afterwards th Oregon came and then the South Dakota, and as th states increases its force ther will be still other large vessels make th trip from time to time. The naval authori ties now know that Portland Is a sea port with a navigable channel to the sea that is safe. Th class of man enlisting In the Oregon Naval MiUtla Is high. All the officers, except some of the staff, are taken from the enlisted men after ex amination, and promoted only upon the same examination taken by naval of ficers upon their being nominated for promotion.

AMERICAN RED CROSS ANNOYED CHAIN BY LETIEICIRCUIAIN Association Disclaims Any Connection With Such Schemes for War Relief. Washington, Jan. It. (WASHINQ. TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.) The American Red Cross disclaims any connection with chain-letter schemes for war relief purposes. It has sought to correct letters sent out from Seattle, Wash., which represent the Red Cross as having agreed to give 12000 for every (18,000 raised by the "American National committee" for a special American hospital In Paris for men wounded In the face and Jaw. This particular chain letter direct that money b sent to L. Herrltt. French consul at Seattle, who. It Is stated, "has agreed to help centralize the fund." It carries the names of tour Seattle banks as references. At American Red Cross headquarter In this city all that Is known in con region with this particular chain let ter plan may be thus summarized: Request Zs Declined. 8om tim ago two physicians In Paris asked the Red Cross for $20,000 to found a hospital of th kind men tioned. The request was declined, iu k.-ki. talned the statement that th Red Cross would give $1000 for evry $18,000 raised otherwise. The Red Cross there upon communicated with th French ambassador and with L. Herrltte, named as the French consul at Seattle, calling attention to misuse of the name of th American Red Cross. M. Her rltte replied to the effect that he had consented to the use of his nam In connection with funds for th hospital, and knew nothing more than that about It. That these ehaln letters ar still sir latlng, wltu unauthorised us of th nam of th Rod Cross, causes the officials of that organization som Irri tation, and renewed effort Is to be made to stop their circulation. Bd Cross Work Zs ExrUnatT. Th extent of th work accomplished by th American Red Cross In th way of European war relief is set forth in a recent statement. From August . 1914, to September 10, 116, th American Red Cross received con tribution for European war relief amounting to $2.14,9S.17. and dis bursed $$.007,684.62. leaving a balance on September 80. of $117, $81.65. Since that time additional amounts have been received and other expenditures made. Of th money received, f41I.t8l.04 was designated for certain purposes and scrupulously used therefor. The estimated valu of supplies donated during this period is $978,809.64. Beyond thes bar figures ther Is a background .of devoted and self sacrificing work by over 400 doctors, nurses, sanitariums and other repre sentatives sent into the war son. During th first months of th war th Red Cross devoted itself entirely to military relief. Its greatest work Involved th sending of hospital units. each consisting of.thre surgeons and 18 nurses, to Austria-Hungary, Bel -Potato Crop Decrease. Amsterdam, Jan. 20. (L N. "S.)
