T MEMBERS
Every County in Line to Canvass
Territory Thoroughly' During
Week of December 16-23.
DETAILS BEING COMPLETED
Although Work in Battle Area Is
About Over, Great Field of
: Helpfulness Is Still Open.
The ltd Crows has fed the hungry
clothed 'the naked, comforted the af
flicted, visited ' the sick and burled
the dead, tevery person who has a
membership In this great humanitarian
organization has helped in these works
of mercy. The war is about over, but
the mission of the Red Cross must go
on. This la the reason for the mem
bershln drive beginning next Monday
and every adult In the . nation wlir be
solicited to Join.
Scarcely an American fighter cross
lug overseas ' but carried with him
knitted Koods provided by the Bad
ross. The society has sent thousands
of tons of clothing to the refugees or
the stricken lands of Europe. Ship
loads of medical" supplies and cargoes
f foodstuffs have been forwarded to
the' afflicted civilians, aside from the
military supplies provided by the Red
Cross. There has never been such an
organisation for relieving distress and
Its appeal has been universal. There
fore, the December 16-23 drive Is for
universal membership.
Details of the drive are rapidly be
ing completed. L. B. Woltrlng, in
charge of outdoor advertising for the
city campaign, will have three sign
boards on the north lawn of the post
office block. Over the stops leading to
h federal building will be an Im
mense Indicator, which will record, day
by day, the progress of the drive both
i In the city and in the state. The post
ers will be diHpIayed on the eve cf
the drive and there will be car cards
galore. For this drive one or two ot
the more celebrated Red Cross posters
will be revived, but" in addition there
are some new and particularly strik
ing effects.

guest at tne stock snow Tuesday, i ne
major is now manager of the Wlgrich
ranch-near Independence, where he has
been in charge for five years. He had
never visited an American stock show

quality of swine being produced in
Oregon and displayed at the show.

Britain day celebration Saturday and
pronounced it inspiring and impressive.

ALEXANDER LETS
GERMANS' LETTERS
DESCRIBE FIGHTING
Almost as Eiting as 0. A. C.
Oregon Glme)Writes Yank
Leader at Marne.
"Since writing you last I had "a lit
tle scrsp on the Marne (July 15-23).
Was attacked by six German regiments
and I am perfectly- willing to let them
tell the story themselves." says General
V. G. McAlexander in writing to busi
ness, associates. General McAlexander
led the Yanks at the Marne battle and
was formerly commandant at O. A. C.
and Instructor of the Oregon National
Guard. "Here are two copies of cap
tured papers from their sixth Grena
dier guards. Being peacefully inclined,
we could not kill all of them, besides
they ran away.' It was almost as ex
citing as a game of football between
O. A. C. and U. of O. Remember me
to everybody.
"V. G. M ALEXANDER."
Letter of Grenadier Lengemann. 2d
Bn. 6th Grenadiers, 7-29-18,
"We were supposed to cross the
Marne by Chateau Thierry on the 15th.
We used pontoons across the Marne
and when we were on the other side
the Americans counter attacked and
had many losses. -The regimental com
mander and the brigadier commander
were wounded , and the battalion staff.
major and adjutant, were killed. The
regiment had a combat strength of
only a little more than 100 men. Of
our company only 10. men came back
cross the Marne. The division was
then loaded on autos and brought to
Solssons where - the Frenchmen broke
through. He attacked there with eev
era) hundred tanks. Our field artillery
opened fire at a thousand meters and
certainly did things to those tanks.
Extract from notebook of Gefrelter

Blnce July 18th we have beyn
In first position in the neighborhood
of Jaulgonne ; opposite us are the
Americans- . our retreat arrn.s.H
the river was awful; those .Americans
certainly did clean .us up they

then goodbye for us.
Sailors Get Music
Box But No Record
When the American Red Cross pre
sented the crew of the y. S. S. West
Zada, now in port, with' a phonograph,
the other day, the men eyed it with
happy anticipation until it was discov
ered that it could not speak. The gift
. or tne macntne ma not include records,
- and the suggestion has been made that
, If there are any people in Portland who
could part with a few of their records,
jh that the boys on the West Zada will
be able to use their new gift, the offer
ings will be most gratefully received.
Lieutenant Woolf, at the Multnomah ho
tel, will take charge of any records which
may be turned over to the ship.
