PORTLAND'S NEW LIBERTY TEMPLE
UPON the first anniversary of the entrance of the United States into the
rwar, a balance struck of Oregon's psrrticipatlon in the transformation of
' ibe'nation from a peace to a war basis shows a liberal contribution of men,
money and material to the cause of world democracy.
Since April 6 last 22,$00 men of Oregon, which is 9 per cent of the
State's adult male population, have joined the colors.
In the past twelvemonth Oregon has subscribed to more than $37,000,
000 worth of Liberty bonds, and it enters the period of the third Liberty
loan campaign with assurance that the allotted quota of 118,495,000 will be
oversubscribed. To the first Liberty loan Oregon subscribed $11,802,900
and to the second 25,t98,5S0. i ' i
" Since the inauguration of the War Savings campaign, the state has in
Tested a little over $2,000,000 in War Savings certificates and Thrift Stamps,
and' with a growing appreciation of the dual benefit accruing from this fea-
' tare of war finance, it is certain that the $17,000,000 quota will be disposed
Of within the year allotted. ! i
The people of the state have given generously to the various war relief
activities, and in answer to the appeals for material aid that have been made
from time to time during the past year, no. less than $2,500,000 has been
contributed. And as the; war continues the spirit of giving nourished by
. realization that sacrifice is an individual duty imposed by the circumstances
of the times, develops In proportion to the just demands made upon it.
t The opportunity for service has been seized upon generously in all parts
- of the state, and few are the persons, indeed, who cannot point to something
that they are doing with their time and talents towards bringing the war to a
' victorious conclusion.
'. Oregon forests are not to be denied their "bit," and in consequence their
liberal contribution to the construction programs of the shipping and aircraft
boards have stimulated Industry to a marked degree
LAST PUBL$C APPEARANCE OF 162D U. S. (THIRD OREGON) INFANTRY
Blnca the selective nervlca law has
. boom effective C3.000- men of draft
ate have been registered In Oregon ot
whom 21,141 are registered In Multnomah
' oounty. In such numbers did Oregon
men respond to the call to arms prior
to the summoning of selected men under
the first draft that Oregon's quota for
,the first draft was only 717.. Under the
first call made on the second draft
- Oregon's quota Is 367 of whom the 114
. men from Multnomah county left for
Camp Lewis last Monday. :
22JS00 OregonrMen
Join Colors
Since the declaration of war on April
t. last, approximately 12,000 men have
enlisted through the Portland army re-
erultlng station, of whom, It Is stated,
approximately 9,000 are from Oregon.
Since December 15, last, the recruiting
station has been unable to accept men
f draft age, but Is allowed to take men
between the ages of 18 and 21 years and
over Si years. During: that time 1500
men have been accepted for service.
Within the year the roll of the United
States navy has been increased through
the Portland recruiting station to the
number of 6000, 75 per cent of whom are
from Oregon. Since January 1 more
Than COO men have enlisted through the
local office, of whom 15 are In the naval
- reserve. Men of draft age are accepted
"-at the navy recruiting station with the
permission of the draft boards.
The recruiting record ot the Portland
, office of the United States marines for
the past year is 1600 men. of whom 450
. have been accepted since the first of the
year. The Portland recruiting station
, stands near the top in the marines' rec
ord, which reflects favorably the de
sire ot the men of Oregon to "get into

-The several units of the Oregon Na-
. tlonal guard answered the. call promptly,
"Die experience of 1916 on the Mexican
.border left the several field units In fit
condition and when orders fame to re
cruit to full strength the Third Oregon
.. Infantry was so recruited within two
weeks, enjoying the distinction of being
the first national guard regiment In the
United 8tates to attain full strength.
Oregon National
Guard Mobilized
On March 23, 1971, on order of Gov
ernor Wlthycombe, two 1 companies of
Oregon. Coast artillery were called Into
active service to guard i the railroad

days later came the orders directing, the
mobilization of the entire guard.
The Third Oregon . infantry, together
with Batteries A and B, Oregon Field
artillery, ) a squadron of cavalry, two
companies of engineers, a field hospital
and ordnance and quartermaster units.
spent the earlier part of the summer
encamped at Clackamas, being trans
ferred later to Camp Greene, Charlotte,
N. C, thence to Camp Mills, Mlneola, '
Lb I., and. then overseas where the Third
Oregon is now stationed as the One Hun
dred and Sixty-second United States In
fantry, while the squadron of cavalry
has been transformed Into field artillery.
The field hospital unit, whose members
for the most part come from La Grande.
was attached to the Rainbow division
and. sent i abroad at an earlier date.
The Coast Artillery regiment, number
ing X400 men, upon being mustered Into
the federal service was stationed at the
forts at i the mouth of the Columbia
for; a period of training, whence the
first detachment was sent on its way j
some weeks ago, word having been re
ceived here when the unit touched at an
Atlantic fort.
The two battalions of Oregon Naval
militia upon mobilization was sent to
the naval training station on JLa,ke
Washington, Seattle, whence the men
were detailed for duty on board the
U. S. S.i South Dakota. A third bat
talion of the Oregon Naval militia, with
a strength of 1000 officers and men,
was authorised - recently by Governor
Withycombe, for the purpose of protect
ing the waterfront areas of the state lf
needed, j
Forest, Engineers
Ate Recruited
Two companies of railway engineers
whose personnel includes officers and
men, mast of whom are from Oregon
and who are experienced In railroad
construction, were organized here early
last summer and have been In France
fori several months. Oregon Is well rep
resented! in the two forest regiments
(the TeAth and Twentieth engineers),
the( first; of which has been In France
for: some time. Oregon men were In
cluded In the battalions of the Twenti
eth engineers aboard the transport
Tuscania when she was torpedoed.
From the faculty of the University
01 uregon medical school were selected
medical officers for base hospital 46,
which includes physicians, nurses and
anj enlisted personnel. The 140,000 re
quired to equip this organization was
furnished from the 11.000,000 fund set
aside by the Elks' grand lodge for war
work, and this unit, which Is under
command of Major Robert C. Yenney;
is at present answering the call to ac
tive service. The eniistea men win un
dergo their 'Initial training at Camp
Lewis and It is expected that when the
lime comes to send the uhit abroad, the
officers and nurses who now are on de
tached duty, will rejoin the command
at the point of embarkation.
Three separate field hospital ana am
bulance companies were recruited In
Portland and later dispatched to Camp
Lewis, American Lake.
In the absence of the organised '
militia, guard companies have been
organised In several cities of the state
for the purpose of protecting property
and serving military ends In the event
of emergencies at home. The regiment
of the Multnomah guards, consisting of
eight Infantry companies and occupying
quarters In the Armory, has been uni
formed at the county's expense and
equipped with rifles. The Oregon State
Guard, comprised for the most part of
Spanish war veterans, has been on
active duty since the first of the year
serving as guard to Industrial property.
At a recent meeting of the state emerg
ency board authorization was made, for
financing a body of state military polite
for active duty within the common
wealth. .

which was carried on in Portland under
Rotarlan auspices more than $12,000 was
realised, while the Boy Scout drive dur
ing the closing' days of February netted
over $28,000. In the middle of March a
campaign was made to raise funds for
the Salvation army war work, which
netted $31,984.84 in subscriptions in Port
land alone. The quota for the state was
set at $50,000.
In drder that all appeals for funds for
war work purposes may be scrutinised,
and that there may be no conflicts in

Oregon Citizens
Give Liberally
Oregon's response to the various ap
peals 'for war work funds has totalled
$2,500,000 and her purse is still open.
The Red Crosa-xampaign produced In
Oregon one of the finest spectacles of
spontaneous giving ever witnessed. Ore
gon, outside of Portland, was asked for
$400,000; Portland for $200,000 or $600.
000 for the state as a whole. The state
outside of Portland pledged $604,190 and
Portland $406,705.
In the Christmas membership drive an
additional .. $121,530 was subscribed to
the Portland chapter through the six
counties In which it has jurisdiction
and In which one-third of the total
population of these countries Is repre
sented! This past performance auguss
well for the second drive lor funds
which the Red Cross contemplates mak
ing later in the year.
In the first war work drive of the
Young Men's Christian Association a
total of $60,000 was alloted to Oregon
and Idaho, which was divided, Oregon,
$42,000 and Idaho. '$18,000. Though the
campaign served a larger purpose of
educating the people as to the Y. M.
C. A.'s service at the front, the entire
amount was subscribed.
In the second Y. M. C. A. war work
drive, the quota of the state outside
Portland was $100,000 and $178,613 was
subscribed. Portland's quota was $200,
000,' and $226,000 was pledged. The state
as a whole was asked for $300,000 and
gave $405,000.
In the war library fund campaign.
Oregon's quota based on the factors of
wealth and population should have been
about $9000. Oregon's subscription to
this fund was $19,940.
Last fall Mayor Baker Inaugurated a
campaign for $25,000 to be known as the
Oregon soldiers emergency fund. The
fund to date aggregates about $13,000,
of which amount .$2000 has been for
warded to Colonel John May and Major
Gilbert of the 162d (Third Oregon In
fantry), now In France. -
The campaign for a fund with which
to buy Christmas presents for the sol
diers resulted In contributions aggre
gating $10,250. Some S867 Christmas
packages of an average value of $1.17
each were circulated widely, some being
sent to ranee, otners to cantonments in
this country, to ships at sea and recruit
ing offices where Oregon soldiers and
sailors are stationed.
The Allied Red Cross bazaar held at
The Auditorium grew to larger propor
tions and resulted In securing a larger
tund that had been anticipated. The
net receipts totalled $41,857.
A fund of $38,000 raised in Portland
equipped a complete unit of 22 motor
ambulances for the American field serv
ice, which service has since been taken
over by the United States army.
t inancial Urtves I
Since January, 1918
From January 5 to 12 a drive was con
ducted in Portland to secure money with
which to finance the Y. W. C A. war
work, the local Y. W. C A and the
Fosdlck commission's activities. A sum
of $80,000 was raised In Portland, and
the work was -continued in several cities
throughout the state. A few weeks ago
the Fosdlck commission opened a club
for enlisted men in the Royal building
at Broadway and Morrison streets. The
Knights of Columbus realized $57,000
In subscriptions In their war work drive
in Portland from January 12 to 19, while
early In February approximately $80,000
was raised In Oregon for the relief ot
the suffering Armenians. One check
of $70,00 was sent to Cleveland IL
Dodge, treasurer of the fund in New
York, by Ben Selling, treasurer for
Oregon. -Durtna;

Yamhill counties.
ThB expenditures of the chapter ag
gregate $15,000 to $20,000 a month,
chiefly for hospital garments, surgical
dressings and yarn.

pieces of knitted goods. The surgical
dressings of January, February and
March of this year were 86,965, 127,000
and

tion
87,000. respectively. The cost of
was $14,355.11; whereas, had not
the work been patriotically donated, the
cost would have been more than $38,-

The office expense of the Portland
chapter averages $400 a month. The of
fice room Is donated by the Corbett es
tatej The. cost of office operation Is
kept very low because salaries are mod
est and much time Is donated.
During the year beginning April 5,
1917J the civilian relief department of
the Portland chapter dealt with 860
families. Financial assistance has ag
gregated $8036.75, not Inclusive of loans
fronf the funds of the civilian relief
committee. The Portland chapter con
ducts its field work through the medium
of branches which supervise 78 auxil
iaries. There are also about 250 auxil
iaries working under the direction of the
chapter.
The military relief division of the
Portland chapter has supervised the or
ganization of the Forty-sixth base hos
pital unit now being mobilized for
training at American Lake, and the
main workroom devoted to the making
of surgical supplies.
At Christmas time a special division
secured, preupared and dispatched to en
listed men 9871 packages, which .repre
sented a value of more than $10,000.
Food and Fuel
Administration
The administration of federal food
control and distribution measures is
handled in Oregon through the office
of the federal grain corporation, in
charge of Max Houser. and the office
of the milling division, which was In
charge of the late Theodore B. Wilcox
These Portland offices are In charge of 1
all the wheat produced, shipped, and
milled In the Pacific Northwest. That
branch of the food administration which
is largely educational in nature and
which more directly affects the consum
er Is In charge of W. B. Ayer as food
administrator for Oregon, who has
aimed to secure results in the conserva
tion and intelligent use of foodstuffs
through the cooperation of existing or
ganizations. A statewide pledge, card
campalgn was undertaken late in Octo
ber, which was one of many activities
pursued to ally the citizens of Oregon
with the . cause of the f od administra
tion. The federal fuel administration Is rep
resented In Oregon by Fred G. Holmes '
of La Grande, who as state fuel admin
istrator Is charged with the responsi
bility of so coordinating the supply and
distribution of fuel that there will be no
shortage for Industrial and domestic
needs.
The affairs of the emergency fleet
corporation In Oregon are administered
under, the direction of Lloyd J. Went
worth, who carries out In this state the
mandates of the federal shipping board.
That the lumber Industry may be co
ordinated to the needs of war, H. B.
Van Duzer recently was. named director
of fir production for Oregon, and J. H.
Bloedell. state director for Washington.
To speed up air plane construction, for
which Oregon spruce is In demand, the
aviation section of the United States
signal corps has established extensive
quarters In the Yeon building under
Colonel Brice P. Disque, where are ad
ministered the details attendant upon
meeting the government's program for
10,000,000 feet of spruce a month. The
construction and operation of a large

In the Field
Of Shipbuilding
The end of the first year of partici
pation of the United States In the
world war sees Oregon's industrial
forces marshaled in the cause as never
before and beyond the most sanguine
expectations.
The most notable and gigantic activ
ity is shipbuilding. y - .
Today Oregon has 23 shipyards In
full operation while four other yards
are ready and one Is under construction.
The yards in operation 'are employing
23,271 men and hold contracts represent
ing between $155,000,000 and $160,000,000.
At the beginning of 1917 there were
only nine shipyards In operation, three
building stes ships and six building
wqpd ships. The number of employes,
sCTtold. was 4200. The monthly payroll
was only about $300,000. Tonnage on
the ways amounted to only 48,000, and
the total amount of contracts was little
over $22,000,000.
Today the monthly payroll is $2412,
492. while the tonnage on the ways Is
approximately 400.O00. Approximately
20,000 workers are employed by the
Portland shipyards alone.
Twenty-three vessels, representing a
deadweight tonnage ot approximately
124.000 tons, have been launched by
shipyards in the Columbia and Willam
ette river districts since January 1. 1913.
An but five of the vessels were for the
emergency fleet corporation. The dead
weight tonnage of these five is approxi
