Surgeon-General's Official
Telegram
Oregon Social Hygiene Society,
720 Selling Bldg., Portland.
A tabulation of one million
reports first received from
camp surgeons throughout the
country shows that Oregon
leads the country with a rate
of fifty-nine hundredths of one
per cent found to have a vener
eal disease on arriving in
camp. It is hoped that Oregon
can continue vigorous measures
In combatingvenereal diseases
during the period of demobili
zation and thereafter.
RUPERT BLUE.
Oregon men, called to the colors
during the greatest of all wars, were
v"V)hy8lcaIly the cleanfst In the entire
'v KUnited States Army,
'vj Such is not the mere boast of any
citizen of this state, backed only by
a high sense of local pride, but it is
the established record of the United
States Army, communicated to the
Oregon Social Hygiene Society by
Rupert Blue, Surgeon-General, thus
giving It the greatest possible weight.
As will be seen by perusal of the
foregoing telegram from, Surgeon
General Blue, a tabulation of 1,000,000
of the first reports received from
camp surgeons places Oregon In the
lead with a rate of fifty-nine hun
dredths of one per cent (which means
less than six men to the thousand),
or, compared with another wire from
him, this state's standing is but a
fraction lower than 18 times ahead of
the state with the highest per cent of
infection, which was eight and nine
tenths per cent (eighty-nine men to
the thousund).
This constitutes one of the grandest
and proudest records of the whole war
period and, great as has been this
state's part in all patriotic endeavors,
nothing could fill the hearts of its
people with a higher degree of pride
than the official acknowledgment from
the National Capital that Oregon's
men stood far and away above all
others in clean manhood.
"That the work of the Oregon So
cial Hygiene Sociely, carried forward
for but seven years, should produce
such magnificent results, is a subject
of the most gratifying kind to the
entire Hoard," said Kxncutive Secre
tary Cummins. "Every onV of the :
men who have worked so hard to
bring about the result regard this of- ;
ficial notification from the Surgeon- '
General as a complete vindication of
the program sought to be carried for-
ward in this state. That the public !
will respond to sane, clear facts, right- j
ly presented, is also demonstrated !
beyond doubt. Educators, who have
assisted greatly In the work, may well
feel that young men under their tute
lage will absorb the benefit to be de
rived from information along physio
logical lines, rightly administered.
Parents must now see plainly that
their children should have the truth
as to their physical beings and that,
having this, untold good will result."
"Future generations, following, are
bound to demonstrate the benefits of
Oregon's clean manhood, as set forth
officially," commented A. F. Flegel,
president of the Society. "This rec
ord cannot be overestimated. It is a
glorious achievement."
"The full significance of the official
announcement from Dr. Blue is dif
ficult to grasp," said Adolphe Wolfe,
treasurer of the Society. "Dealing as
it does with human lite and morals, it
is, in a larger senpe, more important
than many other achievements, not to
detract one whit from any of them.
At the outset, many good people
doubted the ability of the Oregon So
cial Hygiene Society to accomplish
worth-while results. I think now,
however, no further comment need
be had. Surgeon-General Blue's tele
gran is sufficient."
Lieutenant-Colonel P. . C. Field, di
vision surgeon of the 91st Division at
Camp Lewis, has officially credited
the splendid record made by Oregon
men to the educational work that, has
been and is being done by the Oregor
Social Hygiene Society.

THE American Red Cross has be
come very active in that part of
Russia surrounding Vladivos
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted in saving thousands of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the Czeeho-Slouak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and is dnily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi
vostok report that more than 20,000
Czecho-Slovak refugees, 4,000 of them
children, are now being caj-ed for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
slate that the Red Cross Medical or
ganization is attending hundreds of
wounded Czechoslovak soldiers who
have reached Vladivostok after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against ,
the pro-German forces. ;
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail
way west of Hnrbin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail
way employees In the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the Bolshevikl, and gome German and
Austrian war prisoners. !
The work of administering to the '
wounded Czecho-Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
Bolshevikl-German peace, and reliev
ing the distress of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles K. Mo
ser, American consul and head of the
Red Cross chapter at Harbin. Ameri
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While wnltlng for Instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds In Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.
On authorization of the American
Red Cross, Dr. R. B. Teusler. head of I
