Contracting a cold aa result of her arduous labors early and -late, Mrs. Sa van was later stricken with pneumonia. Sunday a week ago she had attended a dance in honor of the soldier boys. Mon day she was taken suddenly ill while visiting her friends, Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Unger, of 111 North Twenty-first street. Despite heroic medical treat ment, the patient ' sank gradually; and the end .came Saturday afternoon at the Unger home. In desperate effort to save the patriot's life, attending physicians administered oxygen as a last resort, but without avail.' Her death has caused profound sorrow in the hearts of all who had the pleas ure of her acquaintance. The following tender tribute was paid by one of her most intimate friends: : f "Mrs. Savan gave Tier: life for ' her adopted country. She died fighting elor iously for the right, and her sacrifice on the altar of freedom -is just as great as tne sacrifice of the soldier who gives up ms are on the field of battle. Mrs. Sa van worked faithfully and hard, and it was because of her defiance of physical discomfort and exposures to Inclement weather that she fell a victim to the disease that claimed her young life:' Mrs. Savan was 27 years of age. She was horn in' Russia and had lived In this country lz years. About six years ago she was married to Joseph Savan, a Portland jeweler.

EVERY TOWN IN OREGON IS NOV IN BLUE COLUMN City Chairman Edward Cooking- ham Telegraphs Washington Oregon Is 100 Per Cent State. 'BILL' HART COMING MONDAY Noted Film Star and Senator Kenyon Will Speak at sjjie Auditorium on Monday Night. I With the close of the second week of the third Liberty loan drive, City Chair man Edward Cooklngham was able to telegraph to headquarters at Washing- ton Saturday eight that every town in the state has now, pafld its assigned quota, making Oregon lull 100 per cent state. This report was made possible by the fact, that Oakland, only town that had not passed its quota a week ago, baa finally Joined the "blue" column and was still adding to Its subscription. Estimates Saturday night, based on scattering reports that were not com' piled, were that Oregon's total to date is In excess of $24,000,000. Of this sum $13,000,000 was subscribed in Portland and more than $11,000,000 outside of Portland. The quota assigned Oregon waa $18,495,000, of which Portland waa to produce $10,050,000. All Over Top The following telegram was sent to R. W. Emerson, director of publicity, at Washington, by Mr. Cooklngham: Every county, every town and every community in Oregon to which a quota Was assigned has gone over the top In the third liiberty loan. But for one. town this report would have ' been made week ago." A telegram was also sent to George K. Weeks of San Francisco, campaign manager of the Twelfth federal reserve district, announcing the new record set by Oregon. The message read Every town -in the state of Oregon is now over the top, aa well as all of the counties, lie port on counties was sent In a week ago." Campaign officials are of the opinion that Oregon is the first, state in the union to report ail its towns loo per cent subscribed. . .. , State Campaign Manager Robert E Smith made a special trip to Oakland to find out why, the delay in getting its quota raised. He telegraphed that ir had heen- raised" ahd the people there complained -at tha criticism directed to their town - as being unjustified. Many of the people listed as heavy bank depositors reside elsewhere and subscribed in other places, making the burden too heavy on the actual resi dents. However, he reported the quota was reached Saturday. t Oatalders Yet to Hear Frem Many outside corporations are still to be heard from by the state com mittee. The United 'States .Steel cor poration turned a subscript ton of $100 J others equally as large wflS will be re ported before the end of ifipt campaign. ii is rreeiy predicted tnai tne - state will subscribe well toward J30.000.000. Reports from points outside Portland will be received Monday and -Tuesday. A few scattering towns have -already reported on the activities of the past week. Among the number Rainier reg isters $45,450 in subscriptions, bringing Its percentage to 800. The local com mittee is not yet satisfied, but Insists that the town will make Its total an' even $50,000. "If you can't wear the khaki yourself. come through with your money. Make it fight for you with the boys who have given themselves in., this struggle , to make the world'a safe and decent place to live in," says BUI Hart, hero of film dom, who will speak at The Auditorium Monday night , "BUT Hart to Speak Hart is on at speaking tour o( the country in the Interests of the third (911 III Jf v I riV'''i-iit v't i -wt II 11 (yififrhrtfciifi.Ljjii "!

GREAT-INJUSTICE BEEN DONE Speaker Says Attitude of Ital ians Saved Allies' Cause When Germany Had -Victory in Grasp - Putting great emphasis upon the part Italy Is playing In the war and 'upon the fact' that Austria 'was the prime aggressor In starting- the present world conflict- i rom two , to four years before It would have" been 1 started under the German -ambitions.. Professor Charles Upson Clark addressed an interested audience at the-, Lincoln high,, school auditorium Saturday night. A large representation from Portland s Italian colony greeted the noted educator and displayed its patriotism by its In terest In his talk and his pictures. Pro f bsot Clark is director of the school of classics -in, the : American Academy at Rome, and, by virtue of Beveral and ex. tended trips to the front is versed on Italian activities In. repelling the inva ding hordes from. Austria. Professor Clarke reviewed the history of the--war -from Italy's viewpoint, and brought - out many new sidelights that were -revealed -to- him officially by the Italian governmeat Italy, he declared. has actually been In conflict since 1311, when she declared war on Turkey and started the long Tripoli ; campaign Trora which she has really not yet emerged, v Has Twice Saved Allies "In the world war Italy has at least twice saved the allies." Professor Clark said. At the "beginning of the war France had ! to keep large numbers of troops on' the Italian . frontier, owing t the fact that Italy was a member of the triple alliance, therefore supposedly hostile to the French; But Italy at once declared her neutrality and in time to permit the French to ' rush troops to battle of the Marne. where they turned the tide against the Hun; "When Italy finally entered the war on the side of the allies, thus deneylng the allegation that has since been fool Ishly made, that she Jumped toward the greatest personal profit, the ' Central powers round tnemseives once more overbalanced. It was. at the time that Germany had victory within her grasp, Italy's weight In the fray defeated the DINNER SPECIALS - SERVED EVERY DAY Roast Beef (potatoes and gravy) 10c Beef Stew (with vege tables) .......... . . .106 Home Made Sausage (potatoes and gravy) . .10c Beans .

The only land-that Italy wants is land that honest opinion u iMua id m risnuuiiy - ners lor more than a century. The statement that she has great reserves Is false. Her women and her aged and maimed men are doing all her civilian and much of her war work, so that all able bodied men can do her fighting. - Remarkable Slides Are Shows "I want, and I am sure the Italian people want, to see American troops beside the English and French on the Italian front Just to have the Ameri cans march down the streets of their chief cities would wonderfully freshen the dogged courage of those people." Following . his very interesting lec ture. Professor Clark showed a series of remarkable stereopticon views fur nished to him by the Italian govern ment .showing conditions that maintain throughout Italy. Scenes of devasta tion hat rival those of stricken Bel glum and France were pictured. A three reel motion picture review of war activi ties at fever heat in Italy were screened. These v pictures also showed . fighting above the clouds in a most realistic manner. ' The money Professor.
