Strong, who was state chairman of the Hoover food campaign j in Oregon in 1921 and who Is acting in the same capacity for the present campaign to raise $100.000 in Oregon for starving German children, reports a good response trom all parts of Oregon. He says: “It is quite remark able the response which Oregonians are making to the appeal for German children. Even before we have ap proached anyone for money, the sub scriptions are coming in. both large and small amounts. It does not seem to make any difference to our people what nationality, race or creed that children belong to, they only have to be convinced that there is starvation, hunger and sickness, and the sub scriptions come in. "There is this Interesting phase j about this campaign, that all the ex penses connected with it are being borne by certain individuals in the East and that one hundred cents of every dollar subscribed throughout the country will go toward the purchase of food. "In Germany, the food will be dis tributed by the American Quakers through the medium of kitchens.
