LOCAL RED CROSS is
ABOUT OUT OF FUNDS
Cannot Ask for Money Sc
Has Hopes Some Person
or Persons VIII Donate

Willamette chapter, American Red
Cross, with headquarters in the U. s..
National bank building isn't exactly
broke, but it is entirely out of funds
and money is needed to buy the thous
ands of yards of materials being called
for every day by the one hundred OF
more auxiliaries with their 5000 busy
women.
Unlike other patriotic organizations,
the Red Cress is not allowed to ask for
money. The higher ups in the Red Cross
take the stand that patriotic citizens
will care for its workers without the
necessity of going out and begging for
funds.
B Hence, those in charge of the active
work in the city would feel especially
grateful if some patriotic person or per-
sons would take note of its empty treas
l.rv. For the fact is, Willamette Chap
ter is entirely out of money, and at
the same time materials must be sup
Piled for the 5000 patriotic women
who are making hospital supplies.
Although the chapter is entitled to
25 per cent of the Red Cross War Fund,
it is not available at present, as this
fund must come from Washington and
everybody knows that the old time red
tape officials at Washington move slow
ly. ru
There is urgent need for the money at
once not only for the feeding of troops
that are expected to pass through the
city soon, but for aid in supporting de-
pendent families of soldiers and in
funds necessary for the University of
Oregon base hospital.
It might be said for the benefit of
those who wonder who is doing all this
Red Cross work, that no salaries are
maid, the rooms in the U. S. bank are
donated and that the whole Organiza-
ton is run at scarcely any expense
whatever.
Mrs. Marie Mcclure an Oregonlan
pioneer, is one of the latest members of
Willamette Chapter, A. R. G. She is 80
years old and felt she should do her
bit by joining and assisting in the knit
ting of wooden socks.
1t is all right to make money for the
Red Cross by giving show or supper
or some kind of benefit but there is
certain Red Cross etiquette, established
! in Washington, as to how it is announc-
ed. For instance, it is proper to an
nounce that show or supper will be
given "for the benefit" of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, but it is all wrong to
say "under the auspices of the Red
Cross.'
Since Willamette Chapter with its
auxiliaries began work, it has made
into hospital supplies 25,0SO yards of
materials.
The Murphy Honor auxiliary came in
few days ago with IS new members
and the Dallas auxiliary, with 10. The
Airlie auxiliary made a record by its
so new members and the donating OF
80 handkerchiefs.
The following work has been brought
to headquarters within the past few
days:
From Mehama: "a abdominal band
ages, triangular bandages, II napkins

10 handkerchiefs and two pounds of
ravellings.
From the Jolly Neighbors auxiliary:
18 abdominal bandages, l dozen wash
cloths, "a surgeon wipes, "a triangular

chiefs, wash cloths.

900 men this winter is planned.
This became known today when state
ments of Secretary Baker and expert
advisers before the recent hearings of
the house appropriations committee
were printed as a public document.
By October tenth, the department
expects to have 100000 under arms.
If sufficient equipment and aeeommo-
dations have been obtained for these
men. another draft will be recommend
ed to the president. All war depart
ment estimates were asked by Secre-
tary Baker and granted by the commit
tee, on the assumption that the presi-
dent will issue the call.
There are. about a million men un-
der. arms today-soldiers militia and
marines. When the first draft mobiliza
ton is completed there will be over
/ 100000 men, another draft this win
ter will complete the two million men
expected.

There was no rain for 81 days in
July and none for 81 days in August
and none for six and one half days in
September. This ends the story of the
dryest summer within the memory of
the oldest inhabitant, for although the
dry spell during the summer of 1914
covered 70 days, the drought of this
summer was of a different kind, with
more sunshine and less dew and less
fog.
The government service seems to be
greatly in need of clerical help as well
as stenographers and typewriters. An
examination will be held in Seattle, Sep
