SALEM INDICATES
SUCCESS Of DRIVE
Enthusiastic and Determined
Men and Women Throng the
Armory to Hear About Thrift.
MILLS AND LOWELL SPEAK
Necessity of Making Campaign
100 Per Cent in Oregon !s
Forcefully Placed Forward.
QALEM, June 24. No more patriotic
meeting hat been held m Salem than
the bit mass .meeting held in the Armory
Sunday afternoon sb a preliminary to
the drive for the sale of War Saving
Stamp.
With 600 wildly enthusiastic and de
termined men and women giving rigor
ous expression to their patriotism, the
aucceas of the drive In Salem seemed
assured.
A.-1, Mills of Portland and Judge
Stephen A. Lowell of Pendleton were
the principal speakers. Both drove horn
In forceful' language the necessity of
making a big success of the War Sav
ings Stamp drive. . ,
"Every man and woman will appre
ciate the necessity of doing his utmost,"
said Mr. Mills. "There in no halfway
ground, no No Man's Land. It will be
either Uncle 8am or the kaiser. Anyone
who Is not 100 per cent American in
'100 per cent America should and must
get out.
Blacken Allies of Kalxer
"Man or woman who fails to do his
or her part is an ally of the kaiser and.
living, should be shunned by neighbors
as a leper, or, dying; should go to the
dust from which he came, unmourned.
"All we need to put this drive over
is faith and confidence. It can be put
over. It must be put over. It will be
put over. Just as the men at the front
will do their duty, we will do our duty
at home and when the day shall come
when there will be peace on earth, may
each of you be able to say, 'I served my
country as best I could.' "
Mr. Mills sppke of the attempt made
by the I. W. W. and others to stir up
strife between capital and labor, charg
ing that all such agitation was German
made. "Gentle reprimand from a judge or
10 days in Jail is inadequate punish
ments for these persons, who are lower
than the dog that bites the hand that
feeds It," he said.
- Americans Are Too Easy
"Americans are too forgiving, too
easy, In dealing with this sort of offense,
but when the casuallty lists increase we
will be awake to the necessity of deal
ing with these criminals, even if it
leads to the hangman's noose or the
firing squad."
'If labor and capital do not march
shoulder to shoulder under the Stars
and Stripes we cannot win this war, but
thank Ood labor and capital are march
ing shoulder to shoulder, as witness the
shipyard, which went 100 per cent In the
Liberty loan drive, and erecting of the
Liberty temple in Portland In one day.
Capital furnished the materials and la
bor furnished the workmanship."
With equal force Mr. Lowell empha
sised the necessity for every American
citizen to get behind this war to the
last ounce of his ability.
"This is your government. This is
your war," he said. "If this war faila
you may well count on the loss of this
investment, because you may count on
the loss of your property.
American Hog Is Quartered
"It has been eald that most of those
who gave excuses Instead of buying
bonds or Stamps are pro-German. I
do not think that, is so. I think nine
out of 10 are Americans and they want
this war won. They want our armies
to be successful. They are Americans,
but they are American hogs."
Hal Patten, general for the Salem
district, and W. M. Hamilton explained
to the workers the plan of campaign.
North Bend to Go Over Big
North Bend, Or.. June 24. J. O. Mul
len, chairman of the War Savings Stamp
drive In North Bend, says that the city

.The workers are not selling the stamps
but are giving cut cards which are good
for stamps at the bank. All are given
opportunCy to buy in monthly install
ments, if desired. No money is being
accepted, but everyone Is being asked
to sign a pleCge to buy a certain amount.
The city U dividea into IS districts
which will be covered after the mills

ifarshfleld Couple Wins Gold Stars
Marshfleld, Or., June 24. Mr. and
Mrs.- George Good rum will receive
the first two gold stars issued in
Coos county in the War Savings Stamp
campaign. Before members of ths local
committees started out to work they ar
ranged each for the purchase of the full
limit, $1000. The committees expect to
find many others in the city who will
subscribe the full limit of stamps.
Charles Hall, chairman for Coos coun
ty, has the forces well organized and
the different teams, each in charge of a
captain, are doing good work. No one
will be overlooked. Big subscriptions
are expected from the working men as
they are drawing high wages and pur
chased liberally in the Liberty loan
campaign.
Herbert, Lockhart, who is chairman
for the Marshfleld district, has at work
the following captains, each of whom
has a team of workers in the different
districts :
Mrs. A. E. Glossop Mrs. F. Marhoffer
Capt. F. D. Fletcher Mrs. G. Dindinger
J. A. Matson K. E. Winegar

M. AMcLaggan E. G. Scott
The subscribers, as far as possible,
will be asked to pay up in full, so there
will be no deficit by failures to buy the
amount agreed upon.
Clatsop 60 Per Cent Pledged
Astoria. Or., June 24. Clatsop county
is going "over the top" in the War Sav
ings Stamp campaign. Judging from the
way the people are pledging to buy war
certificates. Up to noon Sunday Postmas
ter Wise says, over $20,000 had been
received for the sale of stamps for the
past two days, and he expects the full
quot of $300,000 to be in hand on the
night of June 28.
This means t.:at fully 60 per cent of
the quota of Astoria has been pledged.
At the Owl drug store a total of $4598
was pledged up to noon today and more
patriotic citizens are calling for cards
every hour. Tho Girls' Honor Guard
will Temain in charge of the booths at
the drug stores and receive pledges un
til the final report is made.
No official reportB have been received
from the school districts, but visitors
from the country' district all say that
everybody' is doing his share in this
laudable support of the government.
Fred J. Johnson's Limit club is as
suming proportions. Over IS citizens
have purchased the limit in stamps and
are proud of it. Postmaster Wise says
his office is swamped with applications
for stamps.
All this activity la preliminary to the
final drive on .Tune 28.

MORALE OF EVEN BEST
IS GREATLY ON WANE
Captured Germans Say They Are
Led on by False Prom
ises of Victory.
By Frank J. Taylor
With the American Army in Lor
raine. June -24. (U. P.) Information
obtained from prisoners - captured at
Xlvray and other American points In
dicates the waning morale of the Ger
mans. Even the crack regiments of
storm troops are affected.
"We are living in hope that something
will happen to the allies." declared one
Bavarian. "The kaiser promised to be
In Paris before this. He lied. The mili
tary leaders are now stalling off the
German public by promising a victorious
peace within three months. After that.
It will be another throe months, then
another."
Prisoners say that even the crack
German troops want to quit. They are
further discouraged because of the show
ing made by the Americans and now
believe they can never break the allied
lines with the Americans pouring in.
One German lieutenant, an exception
ally intelligent man, says that respect
for the American troops is growing
along tho entire line.
"You Americans excel in shooting and
in Individual fighting," he sajd. "You
are young, fresh, spirited, well fed and
well clothed. Your morale is natural,
ours Is still good, but is bolstered up
artificially. Our strength lies In our
numbers and organization."
Germany, the prisoners admit, no
longer hopes to break the allied lines.
But they believe Germany could hold
out for years, if she had enough food
and clothing. They are too short of
both now to keep up their morale and
maintain effective fighting.

Opportunity to Save
And what you save now you can use
to educate your children with iru the

life, perhaps, than you had to begin
with. What mother and father does not
harbor the hope that they will be able
to put their children through school, and
perhaps through college, if possible, and
thus give them a start so they can hold
their own in tho struggle for existence,
which struggle, most parents know, is a
mighty hard one.
The opportunity, working men and
women, to save is offered you now In
the purchase of War Savings Stamps.
You will be asked by our government to
jledge yourself to buy a certain number
of War Savings Stamps each month for
the balance of the near. Your govern
ment is not asking you to give your
money away. It Is only asking you to
loan it to it by buying these stamps so
that the money can be used to buy food
and supplies for our soldiers In France.

Our government is not asking you to

What more can you ask? Our soldier
brothers in France are giving everything
their lives 1 necessary. They have left
those who are near and dear to them and
are prepared to make the supreme sacri
fice. Are you willing to make a small
sacrifice very small compared with the
sacrifice that many an old mother is
making who gives her only son to our
government to help it in the struggle to
make the world safe for democracy.
Our soldier boys at the front have no
guarantee that they .will even be alive
in 1923 much less have returned to them
what they are giving at this time. All
they have is the knowledge that they
are helping civilisation In its struggle to
free Itself from that monster of autoc
racy and Iniquity that Is attempting to
gain control of everything worth having.

But you will g4t your money back
with Interest In 1S23 and sooner if you

through which you are buying your

your stamps at once. The entire trans
action is between you and Uncle Sam.
He is your banker and you are his back

fight for democracy. You have the
money bo needs. Will you let him have
It? I am sure you will now that you un
derstand what it Is wanted for. Ask
yourself the question, brothers and sis

Ameriea Hops of World
When tho news flashed across the ca
bles that tho United States had entered
the war. It put heart and life Into the
soldiers of the other nations affected.
America was the beacon light of hope
and victory. All faces were turned to
ward America. Friends cheered. Ene
mies cursed. America was the one great
force that could save civilisation from
annihilation. We are in tho fight to
win. Soon we will have from 3,000,000
to 4,000,000 soldiers "over there." On
tho eve of battle their faces will be
turned toward America, and If their
minds could be searched It would dis
close tho question: "What are our fellow-Americans
doingT Are they saving?
Are they backing us up with their sav
ings? Can we depend on them to deny
themselves tho things they don't have
to have, and use the money instead to
buy War Savings Stamp?" Let our an
swer e : "Yes, we're behind you, and
not far behind, eitherright up close.
We are backing you to win with all we
have." Yet us prove to them that we
are worthy of tho sacrifice they are
making for us. Then, when victory
crowns our efforts, we can look every
returning soldier In the eye and feel
satisfied we did all In our. power to help
him and other hii win tho fight.

Paris. June 24. (I. N. S.) "I have
lived both in Germany and in the
United States, and I believe that
America alone could beat the Germans,"
Lord Northcliffe made this statement
Sunday in an article in the Petit Par
lsten. "I. have absolute confidence In Presi
dent Wilson." Lord Northcllffe said. "It
la he who must decide tho Japanese
Intervention question.
"I remember the president said he
had a one-track mind. Last month he
sent 250.000 soldiers to Europe, although
ho bad promised only half that num
ber. "People ssy that President Wilson Is
Slow to act. but tho progress with a
rush of such a vast number of troops is
an enormous undertaking.
"We understood the significance of the
rush and tho vast figures.
"Frankly, I would rather President
Wilson should devote himself to the
transporting of men than to solve the
Japanese problem.
"The president does one thing at a
time, but It is wonderful how he was
able to train one hundred millions of
cltlsens despite German and allied
propaganda and many German-Americans

"Germany Is beginning to weaken. The

that Oregon will make as proud a

Of this amount $17,500,000 waa (assigned
to Oregon. At the present time ap

A question was asked at Liberty tem
ple headquarters this morning as to
whether the signing of the pledge cards
which solicitors will circulate would for
bid War Savings Stamps purchasers
from buying from organisations from
which previous purchases had been
made. The answer was :
"No; tho only purpose of the pledge
card is to put the government in pos
session of pledges which will show that
the entire quota has been subscribed and
which will serve as an Individual loyal
ty record. For those who are able to
subscribe, but who decline to do so. an
other record card haa been prepared,

they will buy each month the amount
