Grand Total Now
$S,392.2O and All
Teams Going Strong

The grand total Of the army and
navy drive for its war fund has now
reached the sum of $S,392.30. The
quota for Salem on the first estimate
was $500 and like amount for the
county outside Of Salem.
Yesterday the Albert team put in the
hardest licks, securing subscriptions
for $4,000. E. Cooke Patton and Ills
workers made record with his total of
1921. The Baumgartngr team showed
up well with $131.75 and the Cross
team with $l04. Smith Is team reported
1880 at the noon day conference, the
Watson workers with $35, and the
Hamilton contingent with $25. The
executive committee reported its total
for the day as $3.50, bringing the sum
for the days work up to total of
81 ,2OO.s0.
An example of the spirit that is be-
ing shown in the present Army and
Navy Y. NJ. C. A. drive is well illus
trated by the contribution of family
here in Salem. They are in very
meager circumstances but wanted to
help in the cause that is doing so much
for the soldiers as there are two boys
gone from the family into their coun-
try's service. The mother and father
each gave SO. a daughter who is GO
ing to high school pledged herself to
90 without butter for one year, and so
give $500 to the Army Y. N. c. A.
She also promised to do ironing for
different ladies in town until another
$500 can be added to the first making
her pledge equal to that Of her mother 8
or fathers. The son who is at home
going TO grammar school also promised
to 90 without butter in order TO give
$500 to the Drive. Because, y he
saws. 'I know I am helping my broth
ers that way"

Business Men Want
Band Concerts

Many of the principal business hous-
es in the city have signed the petition
asking the council to include in it's
budget a sum necessary for the band
concerts next summer. AS the matter
now stands, the chances are that the
finance committee will stand pat on
its recommendation that no money be
appropriated in the budget for the con
certs. 1t will then be up to the voting
O. the city council at the public meet
ing to be held in the city hall Friday
evening, Nov. 30, when the public will
be heard in regard to the budget in
general
While the business and professional
men have been signing the petition
asking for a continuance of the band
concerts, no one as yet has appeared
with a petition asking that $500 of the
city's money be appropriated for the
children IS Fairgrounds. As one citizen
remarked. if no money is included in
the budget for play grounds supervis-
ion, the children can take to the
streets and also take their chances of
being run over by automobiles.

SUBMARINE MENACE
NOT Yet CONTROLLED
SAYS LORD CEDDIS
Decrease In Loss Of Shipping
But Too Much Optimism
Is Dangerous

London, Nov. l6. = The submarine
menace is not yet under control, Sir
Eric Geddes, first lord Of The admir-
Ialty, told the house of commons this
afternoon.
He solemnly warned against over OPP
timism because Of recent official state
ments showing great decreases in the
loss Of shipping.
Last week S report of our losses by
submarines, does not indicate that the
submarine menace is controlled,' the
minister asserted.
1T is essential that our allies know
that economy is necessary Shipyards
are short Of men. Women labor sent
them will directly affect the winning
of the war
Momentarily, we are holding the
submarines, but | repeat my warning
The greatest interest attached to
Sir Eric Geddes appearance in the
house, in view of the showing in this
week $ official statement on subma-
rine losses. This report showed iuss
one British vessel Of more than 1900
tons to have been lost in seven days
and a huge number of arrivals ana
departures at British ports.
Recent statements have shown a reg
ular decrease week BY week, so that
the public in England FOR TIE last few
days has been jubilating more or less
in the belief that the problem had been
solved,

AUTOMOBILE LICENSES
ARE Being ISSUED
Three Thousand Applications
for 1918 Have Already
Been Received

The automobile department of the
secretary of state IS office began issu-
ing license for the year 1918 yesterday.
Some 5000 applications were on file for
auto licenses, 40 for dealers, 40 for
motorcycles and So for ehauffeurs. y
drawing was made in order to place the
numbers, with the result that the first
10 auto licenses were to the following:
l. l. G. Robnett, Central Point.
2. A. Rupert, 623 Worcester Bldg,
Portland.
8. Cecil Scott, Lexington.
4. R. c. Cornish, klamath Falls.
5. John w. Miller, 623 Luinbornens

6. +. j. Owens, Cloverdale.
Z. j. W. Beckett, 35 E. 18th, Portland.
s. M. Chandler, Albany.
0. Harry II. Holman, 40 Bird, Port
land.
10. Rose Wilson, Aurora.
Ella V. Holman, of 1877 0verton street
Portland, drew number l3; II. A. Nor
rison, 1l5 North High, Salem, got 23,
and can skiddoo without breaking the
law, his license covering that kind of
L
good night number $780,"
For the year 1917 the total auto lieen-
ses to date is 48,600; chauffeur licenses,
$500; motorcycles, $500; and dealers,
375. AS the law requires the possession
of license of the year to run an auto,
it will be seen that there are licenses to
be issued by the department of all
kinds, of more than $4,000, which means
they must be issued at the rate of more
than 1000 a day until the end of the
year. This also means that auto owners
if they would avoid being delayed at
the beginning Of the year will have to
get busy and send in their applications

classes follows:
