Htate Chairman Smith Makes Strong
Appeal to People of State to

played in this world war will be re
membered long after we and our
children are dead. Our heritage of
thia war will be our record of pa
triotic achievement, and this record
will be made in two ways: It will
be a record of our boys who were In
the service, and the record of those
of us who stayed at home and tried
to do our part by supporting our
Government and the boys.
Oregon's military record stands
bead and shoulders above that of
any other state. Oregon was first
in the enlistment and had a larger
percentage of Ita population under
arms than any other state in the
Union. The records of the old
Third Oregon, the Coast Artillery
and the 91st Division are records
which will never die and which ev
ery Oregon citizen may well be
proud. The record of Lieutenant
Burgard who was five times wound
ed and who led 250 Oregon boys
over the top, of which 218 were left
upon the battlefield after an hour
and twenty minutes of fighting is
only one of a number of instances of
valor by Oregon men which will nev
er be forgotten. Lieutenant Dorris
made his way to brigade headquart
ers after having his lower Jaw shot
away in order that another officer
might be detailed to his company—
all of the other officers having been
killed. Although he was decorated
with the croix de guerre for this act
of heroism, the best appreciation of
this act will be found in a never
dying recollection of It by the peo
ple of Oregon. There is no instance
of record where Oregon troops fal
tered under fire,, and the record of
our boys in service is 100% perfect.
So far the record of Oregon’s cit-
izenry in Ita patriotic duty has been
perfect. We have been foremost in
patriotic drives of every kind, having
twice led the nation in Liberty Loan
campaigns. It is a distinct privilege
for those of us who stayed at home
to be permitted to complete the won
derful record of our boys by making
a 100% record in our duties of cit-
izenship. Yet It is a tremendous re
sponsibility. as the people of the
state would never live down the dis
grace of tainting our military record
by failure to lead all other states in
this great patriotic endeavor.

AMERICAN WAR STATISTICS
In view of what other nations have
done, America’s patriotism has been
put to no test according to Edward
Cookingham, executive chairman of
the Oregon Victory Loan. He says:
"During the four years of the war,
the gross indebtedness of the civil
ised nations of the world grew from
827,000,000.000 to
more
than
8200,000,000,000. The Indebtedness
of Great Britain grew from 4% to
44% of that country’s entire nation
al wealth and Russia’s national debt
reached about the same proportions.
The Indebtedness of France grew to
about 4 5% of her national wealth.
The indebtedness of Germany was
more than 50% of her wealth at the
end of the war and that of Austria-
Hungary had become about 60%.
In comparison with the enormous
debts of her allies, that of the
United States at the end of the war
seems very insignificent inasmuch
as it amounted to less than 8% of
her national wealth, and as an offset
we hold nearly $10,000,000,000 of
obligations of foreign governments,
so that the net drain upon the peo
ple of this nation will not be over
6% of the sum total of the assets of
the nation.
"The available statistics received
up to the present time show that
the total death losses during the war
aggregate about 7,500,000 men. Of
our allies France lost 1,385,000 men,
England 706,000 men. and Italy
460.000 men; Russia lost about
1,700,00 men. About 50,000 U. S
troops were killed in battle. The
losses of Germany and Austria-
Hungary and their allies, aggregate
2,750,000.
"None of the allied commanders,
American, French, .English or Ital
ian. believed that a military victor’
was possible in 1918. Hence, at
the time the armistice was signed
military plans In the United States
were progressing on a prodigious
scale. These plans contemplated
that by July 1, 1919. there would be
4,,000,000 American
soldiers in
France. To transport and maintain
this vast army, 16,000.000 tons of
-hipping would be required, and the
the construction HRDL HRDL H H
plans of the government included
hi construction of sufficient ships
‘ furnisa the required tonnage. Had
the war continued until the middle
t the summer of 1919, thia nation
would probably suffered a loss of
500,000 American
soldiers with
many hundred of thousands of dis
abled and wounded. The outlay re
quired to train, equip and transport
and feed this vast army would have
been not less than 180.000,000 per
month. It is quite obvious there
fore that the sudden colapse of the
German military power resulted In a
saving to the American nation, of not
less than 815.000.000.000 to $20,-
000,000.000. Moreover, every red-
blooded American citizen must not
fall to remember that Germany’s col
lapse waa directly due to the mag-
niricent fighting qualtites of the
hitherto untrained American army.
"During the brief time that the
American army participated in the
active hostilities of the war, 8.918
Distinguished Service Crosses were
awarded for gallantry In action to
American officers and soldiers.
If
we may believe the glowing accounts
which we have received of the unsur
passed valor of the American troops
In the battles tn which they were
soldiers who received the Disting
uished Service Crosses were but a

other American soldiers that fought

ry.
