PRETTY REFUGEE WILL
SELL FORGET-ME-NOTS
Louise Reusens of Antwerp, Belgium,
; will belp with th sale of forget-me-nots
, Thursday, when the big tag day cam
palgn will be launched to raise funds for
- the relief of Belgian refugees In Belgium
and France. If Miss Louise herself
should ask you to buy you will buy !
Her name you must pucker your Hps
all out of Anglo-Saxon lines to pro-
rr ounce. From her red Hps It Is charming
as is the young lady herself.
Fair-haired, rose-petal skin and won
derful blue eyes, all this has Louise Reu-
- sens. But more! She has a way with
her, a smile that wraps itself around
your heart
She is Just 19 years old ; and the war
broke Into her life early In August when
she was but a girl of fifteen. v Their Ut
' ytle home, where her mother, a widow,
Mrs. Francois Reusens, with her chil
dren, -Marguerite, Marie and little Elodle,
and a son, Joseph, lived near Antwerp.
i Bell Ho end Warning
They had a store and sold groceries.
On night, at 12 o'clock, in the midst of
peace and plenty, the bells began to toll.
" AU those bells for which Antwerp Is
. famous little bells, quaint clock chimes,
big bells, every conceivable means of
alarnv-set up their weird .clatter and
' then they learned the Germans were on
the border. Men grabbed their firearms
and left their homes. Joseph, but a lad,
went, too. There was no time for uni
forms in most cases the men went into
,. battle in their civilian clothes. !
As the days passed and the. army ad
vanced the family fled to relatives in
the city and lived there more thin a
year after the Oerman occupation. The
-mother finally resolved to take her
flock out of the country, and with what
money they could gather and the clothes
they could wear on their backs, the pro
cession of six started on Its long three
day walk to the Holland border one day
. in May, 1918.
Fooled Heinle Officer
A trusted guide, a Belgian, for a
considerable sum of money undertook
to take them across and in twos, travel
ing by circuitous routes and by-lanes,
, always separated so as not to arouse
the suspicion that a family was moving,
they made their way. They slept In
. corn fields and in the streets, as no
Belgian family could take them in
without arousing the suspicion of the
Oermans which, were billeted in every
Belgian household.
-rvvwra iu wwrjr, iuu nervous iu
" eat even the pitiably scant fare their
Belgian friends could spare them, they
trudged along ; just once their success
' i was held In the balance when a Ger
- man officer stopped Louise and her
older sister and asked their destination.
Contrary to the mother's rules and all
1 ' former precedent, the older sister smiled
amiably on the soldier, which was a rare
favor to a Oerman officer coming from
' pretty Belgian girl, and he, in turn,
was kindly. She tossed her head care
lessly and said, 'ph. to my aunt's," and
named a little town by mistake through
which they had already passed.. He re
ferred to his map and was puszled, but
- she feigned not to understand and
smiled on.
, She Showed Him
'In desperation she said "This way;
I will show you," and he accompanied
them.' A cafe loomed up at the turn. of
the road and the girls went In to the
good Belgian woman at the bar and
cried "auntie." She understood and
, folded them In hex; arms affectionately,
though she had never laid eyes on them
before. The officer, convinced, made
his adieu and rode on, while the rest of
the little band who had been In hiding
followed after. Hidden in. hedgerows
and fields, they finally covered the
weary miles and then watched their
chance between the change of guards
. to cross the border. One last ordeal
came here In wading the canal, where
the water came up to their necks.
. Friends were many In Holland and
from there they went to London.
,"Wi could have been cared for by
i wealthy people In England, as the peo
pie cannot do enough for the Belgians
who flee there for refuge," Bald Miss
Reusens, "but mother would not have
help, so we all went to work In the
big ammunition factories where there
are all French and Belgian refugees
employed."
"After more thanayear there, a sis
ter of Mrs. Reusens, Mrs. Alfred Jorg
;' enson of Portland, wrote. for them to
come to Portland, and last fall the
mother and the three youngest children
arrived, the others following.

Help wanted !
Once more the Portland chapter of
the American Red Gross hangs out a
want ad of appeal.
Women, more women, please, It begs.
"If soldiers are to have bandages
and surgical dressings, Portland must
help," is the tenor of the call.
There are four main locations of work
where women" workers are needed especi
ally now, and on any morning or
afternoon, save Saturday and Sunday.
The Irvington clubhouse, to engage In
sorting sphagnum moss, which has revo
lutionised surgical dressings ; .the same
work In the Worcester block, 80 Third
street ; the making of bandages at , the
surgical dressing auxiliary, headed by
Mrs. W. J. Burns, 416 Spaulding build
ing, and at the Red Cross workroom,
eighth floor Hpjnan. Wolfe & Co..
The entire resources of. Tillamook
county have beenmobilized and hundreds
of sacks of sphagnum are being .shipped
to- Portland from Tillamook and Rocka-
way, where hundreds or workers are
picking the moss in a race against time
that a big stock be accumulated before
the rainy season.
Sphagnum is nature s answer to- the
cotton shortage, yet from a dressing
standpoint It Is more wonderful than
cotton, being 20 times as absorbent. The
army and navy have demanded hundreds
of thousands, even millions of these
dressings, since the Red ; Cross showed
the remarkable properties of the 'moss,
which, is found suitable for easy picking
only In the Northwest and Alaska, and
as soon as the moss easy of access is
picked It ' Is planned by the Red Cross
to organise a picking expedition to
Alaska that the supply may not di
minish.
Personal, appeals have been directed
by Amedee M. Smith, general manager
of the. Portland chapter, and by Major
L. Lowengart, director of the Red Cross
workrooms, to. 600 residents of Irving'
ton urging their participation in the
Important work of sorting the moss at
the Irvfngton clubhouse.
"I want to urge -the real patriotism
of working for our soldiers directly
upon the women of Portland," said
Major Lowengart. -, '
"These bandages must be made. Moss
must be picked, then sorted, then made
into dressings.
"The people of Tillamook county have
taken care of the picking. Can't we
manage to ' handle our - end ? These
bandages mean the difference between
life and death to Oregon soldiers.

All the tales of our soldiers in France
lacking shoes, ' lacking oroper clothing
and food, surrounded by evil influences,
and .going to the bow-wows are German
propaganda," declared Dr. Lincoln L.
Wirt at the Auditorium last night.
"I want to tell . every mother tonight
who is trying to hold back her boy. that
the moral safeguards of the boys in
Europe are better than In their own
home town. A man who goes over lit
tle-comes back big; he goes over nar
row and comes back broad ; he goes
over proud and conceited and comes
back a man.
"I even went over a Republican I
came back an American ; I went over
a Congregation alls t and came back a
Christian ; and ' when the boys come
home' nine-tenths of our churches will
be turned to kindling while all the boys
go to the bigger church."
Doctor Wirt has just returned from
the battlefields of France, where he was
sent by the United States government
to investigate conditions, and the meet
ing last night was given under the aus
pices xf the American Red Cross.
Erea Hens Are Executed
In an inspiring and interesting ad
dress, tinctured with graphic descrip
tions and narrations of scenes on the
battlefield, In the training camps, in the
hospitals, in- the ruined French and Bel
gian villages, scenes and stories related
with a marked sincerity, mingled now
and then with righteous outbursts of
Indignation at the trend of German kul
tur. Doctor Wirt held the close attention
of his audience for nearly two hours.
"Kven the German hens are exCcuted
by order of the imperial government
when they fail to lay the proper number
of eggs," declared Mr. Wirt In one of
his outbreaks of feeling against the
Huns. A number of proclamations is
sued by the Imperial government, which
he had collected while In Kurope, Mr.
Wirt read orders to burn villages, to
kill citizens whether Innocent or guilty.
for forcing prisoners to work In the
fields, and supplemented by tales of Ger
man methods of warfare, of planting the
fields of the peasant with bombs and
hand grenades, poisoning wells, destroy'
ing orchards and ruining farm machinery.
Dr. Wirt dwelt at. length on the
splendid work of the American Red
Cross, both military and civil, and de
scribed its activities on the battlefields.
in caring for the wounded and dying and
writing to the parents of the dead; Its
work in the great tuberculosis hospitals
of France and in all the hospitals scat
tered about for the care of those who
have been injured by the raids of the
enemy. -
He told of -a little girl, wounded by
shrapnel, who after suffering untold
agoniqe at the hands of the Germans
w as cured at one of the hospitals. . Her
father found her there the rest of the
family had been killed and after clasp
ing the hand of Doctor Wirt, said :
can now go back to the front and fight
a better fight, knowing that my little
girl Is In such good care."
The speaker told of the work- of the
Red Cross In re-educating the crippled
soldiers for occupations at which they
could earn their livelihood, and be Inde
pendent, In supplying clothes to the
needy in caring for the homeless, in all
its activities in every line.
Allied Spirit Unquenchable
Hespoke of the wonderful work of the
Y. M. p. A. and the Knights of Co
lumbus. "There Is perfect harmony be
tween the Y. M. C. A. and the Red
Cross." said Dr. Wirt. "There is no
overlapping, no duplication, each is do
ing a 'wonderful work in its own sphere,
In perfect harmony with the other.
Mi-. Wirt praised the spirit and morale
of the American soldiers. "I am an
optimist," he declared, "because of the
man behind the gun the character of
the man behind the gun, for if there
was ever a spiritual warfare, it is the
members of the allied forces who are
fighting against the powers of men and
women who have Sacrificed all -Bern
blance of humanity."
He spoke of the wonderful training
the- men were getting, and gave as an
example of the dominating spirit, a man
who crashed to the earth with an air
plane, and when the ambulance appeared
on the scene, 'crawled from beneath the
wreckage and Insisted upon taking an
other trip Instead of going to the hos
pital. ' At 8unnyslde Church .Today
Opportunities will be had to hear Dr.
Wirt at the Sunnyside Congregational
church at 11 o'clock this morning, where
he will occupy the' pulpit, and at the
Chautauqua tent at St. Johns at 8 o'clock
tonight. .

former experiences.
"I have been wanderluster in most of
the odd corners of the .world," said
Moore. "I have carried my own frying
pan and blanket roll hundreds of miles
farther than the average soldier of 10
years' service. I can adapt myself to
hardships aa readily as I can to luxuries.
I am conversant with forest and wood
lore and also am a confirmed 'desert

which are above normal with the use of

But Moore has an indomitable will and
a strong determination to assist In elimi

"I. who have enjoyed my hiking and
wanderlusting throughout the country,
would Indeed be In a bad' fix if the
kaiser is not eliminated forever," he
declared. "He would usurp all that is
sweet In Americanism1 h would convert
liberty into kultur. All of the wander

I am very glad to be what I am, an
American, and I have seen so many pic

why I love the United States of Amer
