RED CROSS DOINCS
\ 4 x y = = X = 4 x 4 4

The big thing right now before Viii
lamette chapter is the fact the demands
of the American National Red Cross are
so great that it will be necessary to
raise 100000, 900 and that Salem will
be asked to contribute $4,000. This is
not in supplies but in money. A com
mittee will soon be appointed of the
best workers in the city to devise ways
and means by which this large sum can
be raised. II figures out little over
50 for each person in the city. Within
a few days this financing committee
will be announced.
On the proportion of $4,000 for Sa-
lem, Dallas viii be asked TO contribute
81 1900, Silverton $4,000, Independence
1000, Woodburn $4,000 and Falls City
$4,000.
Auxiliaries recognized yesterday were
the Philathea class of the First Baptist
church, ST. Paul s, Clear Lake and Stay
ton.
As soon as the first class in surgical
dressings has completed its course of
lectures, another class viii be organ
lied by Mrs. Harry E. Clay and the
work viii continue every afternoon of
the week excepting Wednesdays and
Saturdays. Those who have completed
the course viii eontinue TO meet at the
postoffice and help in the work.
The auxiliaries from points outside
of Salem are bringing in their work in
good shape and the store room at the
postoffiee is pretty well filled with
boxes awaiting shipping orders.
The seriousness of the war in which
we are now in may be guaged from the
fact that in the Red Cross work alone,
a city Of the size of Salem is asked to
contribute $4,000 in money.

Coast win Register
Far More Than Estimates

{ San Francisco, june 6.-Registration
of conscriptahle youths on the Pacific
coast exceeded all estimates, according
to incomplete returns available today.
Shortage of registration cards, and
an unexpected rush to the polling places
nearly swamped registrars in many
cities on the coast.
An unexpected rush of loggers into
Weed and McCloud, two small north
ern California towns, quickly exhaust
ed the registration blanks and registra-
tion was completed on loose scraps OF
paper. In these two towns the registra-
tion totals are more than half the total
population.

NEXT TASK IS HEARING
PLEAS FOR EXEMPTION
May Call Two Million In
Order to Get QuOta---Busy
In All Lines
By Carl D. Groat,
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent }

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, June g. America IS
first citizen army of 625,000 men be-
gan to take definite shape today.
While registration in some districts
fell far below war department expec-
tations, others rolled up astonishing
totals. In some Pacific coast sections,
half the population registered. Figures
continued slow They are not expected
to be complete before before some
days.
The next great task to be overcome
is that of hearing exemption pleas.
Over fifty per cent Of those who
signed up yesterday claimed exemp-
tion in some districts. 1t will be
necessary to call two million men to
get the quota of 625,O0O, the war de-
partment believes.
Appointment of exemption boards is
the next step. Meanwhile America IS
war machine is rushing preparation of
equipment for the first army to be
hurled against Germany.
Contracts for shoes, uniforms and
other necessities are being rapidly
placed.
Rifles and bayonets are being manu-
factured as quickly as munitions plant
facilities permit.
Ambulance units are planned and
transports selected, all under cover of
war time secrecy.
Equipment Will Be Ready.
When the first 625,000 are called TO
the colors their equipment win be
ready unless plans miscary
Before the first drawing, all cripples
and others physically disabled will be
exempted. Then within two weeks will
come the drawing, physical examina-
ton, and the hearing of exemption
pleas.
Gains in the regular army and ma
tional guard recruiting are such that
officials believe that it will be un-
necessary to employ conscription to
fill the ranks of these units to war
strength.
The regular army today still needs
$4,000 men to reach its full war power.
Governor Brumbaugh, Pennsylvania,
late this afternoon reported to the pro-
vost marshal generals office that
registration was running away over all
estimates and might reach 100000
more than 10000 above the census
estimates. Among the men registering
were thousands of aliens.
In many places registration con
tinued today, to- take care of the
overflow.
Tn Missouri, Illinois and other mid
die western states, heavy storms were
hindering compilation of the reports.
Several counties in Missouri were
entirely off from communication.

local precincts and at O clock this

city hall was turned into a registra-
ton office to care for those who could
not register yesterday and last night
and the few who may have evaded
registration.
Chicago's S 2,203 precincts, with but
one estimated, showed a total enroll
ment of 30S,S09 today. The maximum

Owing to the active campaign OF

there will be no waste on. over
production OF this variety OF

The canning clubs have put
hundreds OF thousands of dollars

been made to guess at the
amount of foods so grown and
conserved, it is obvious that an
accurate figure is utterly inpos-
