While Loan Campaigning.
Hearts of the" Third Liberty Loan
workers of Portland are saddened ' to
day over the untimely and unexpected
death of one of . their most faithful
colleagues Mrs. Joseph Savan.
That-this devoted humanitarian and
steadfast friend of the war-ridden vie
tims of Eurepe died a. sacrifice to the
patriotic cause she had espoused is the
unantmous opinion of those who worked
with her in the campaign now in prog'
ress to put Oregon over the top fit
the
face for national bond sale honors.
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.
Her life in her adopted land since the
war began had been one of devotion to
every phase of .war relief. She aided In
the Armenian relief camnaigm. Red
Cross, Y. M. C A. drives and the Liberty
loan projects, tone took a nrominent
part In charitable ' Undertakings In be
half of both Jews and Gentiles. She
was a member of the Council of Jewish

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.

HIGHLY PRAISED
Professor Clark of American
Academy at Rome Speaks Be
fore, Audience at Lincoln High.
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

Central powers and enabled France to
hold the Hun; ' '
"Two popular and fundamental mis
conceptions In the United tates are
that Italy entered the war from land
grabbing, imperialistic motives and that
Italy still has great reserves of freshl
men to draw from. 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. Clark Is gather
ing from the free will offering of his
American audiences, and he is lecturing
In practically, every Important city in
the natron, goes-direct through Ameri
can- hands, to. the-, relief of suffering,
hoth . in : civil j and military populations
of that country. Re-education of maimed
troopers Is an Important part of the
work of the 'fund he is gathering and In
the expenditure of which there is no
waste. -
Proesacr Clark leaves at 10 o'clock
Ihis morning for Tacoma. where this
evening i. he will deliver the first of a
series of lectures In Washington cities.
He was entertalnd in Portland today by
friends and prominent Italians.'
