The Telesram ha$ been pf>rmi
tfd to see a letter from a Portland'
boy who, after intensive training,
left Camp Lewis this week for a stu
ilent officers' training iamp. He Is
a university graduate, and the only
child o* a self-supporting mother.
To her he writes that the universal
sentiment at Camp Lewis is a de" |
mand for immediate unconditional
surrender, coupled with the hope
that the kaiser would refuse the
terms laid down by America. and
thus enable the allied armies to
impose harsher terms after the
victorious march into Berlin The
men « Camp Lewis went into the
war to fight, he says; most of
them are now fit to fight, and they

We take it that this Portland boy
cvrrettly speaks the prevailing
s.-iitiment of every cantonment in
the United States, and we know
that this is th© universal sentiment
of Americans on the battle front

MART E. HART IS
STILL BOOSTING
On the front page of the San
Francisco Chronicle of October 18,
last, is a large sized picture of
Mrs. Mary E. Hart, the well known
Alassan woman, who hag pioneered j
in almost every camp in Alaska, j
First in Nome as a newspaper wo- j
man »nd afterwards mining in the !
different sections.
In 1904 Mrs. Hart wa8 hostess in .
th© Alaska building at the Louisian
Exposition and in 1906 holding a I
somewhat similar position in the j
Portland Fair. In 1909 Mrs. Hart
represented Alaska in the A. Y. P.
iin Seattlft and in 1915 did yoeuian
service for Alaska at the Panama
Exposition.
That is not all Mrs. Hart has
done for she has spent years in oth
er work, expounding the resources
and' grandeur of Ala«ka as a
lecturer ,and has spoken to tens
of thousands of people in different
sections of the United States and
Canada.
The last work that Mrs. Hart
hag reen engaged in is the buying
oi Donds of the Fourth Liberty
Loan and the picture on the front
page or the Chronicle shows her
receiving from the hands Of Max
DAI, the noted actor, a German
soldier's watch which is being giv
en her as a prize for having bought
the first Fourth Liberty Loan bond
in San Francisco. Mrs. Hart
bought a $3000.00 bond and bought
it in the name of Alaska.
Below will bo found the article in
full excepting the cut which of
course we cannot reproduce.
Union Square was the scene °f
enthusiasm yesterday afternoon
when wounded soldiers from the
ironi, ana women ana' cnnuien nv«i
the homes united in the appeal to
make Volunteer day a memory and
not a regret for San Francicso.
Among the organizations that
took part in the Program were the
National Women's Fourth Liberty
Loan Committee of San Francisco,
the Girl Scouts, Mrs. Lewis Rothe,
Girl Scout Commissioner; the Busi
ness Women's War Service, the
Stage Women's War fc Service and
the Newspaper Women's Red
Cross Unit. Judge Thomas F. Gra>
ham -was the chairman of the after*
noon.
Lieutenant C. M. Archer told
how American soldiers at the front
had bought Liberty bonds from
their ?33 a month, and after they
had paid their insurance and further
limited their spending money re
sources by making their allotments
to their families.
Walter Scott, an Anzac veteran of
Gallipoli, urged Liberfy bond buy
ers to "strike naother blow for Lib
erty." Willie Meehan in his Na
vy uniform made an appeal for the
bonds; Girl Scout Helen Burcbard
made a Liberty address that drew
big applause, and Nedda Harrigan
made pn appeal in the name of "my
brother over there."
The music for the occasion was
furnished by the Fort McDowell
Military Band and the Royal Marim
ba Band. Lina Reggiani sang "Viva
La France." Luigi Poggi 8ang the
Italian hymn, and' there was talent
from the Curr^n and Columbia the
aters.
! The privilege of buying the
! first bond was auctionde and fell
j to Mrs. Mar}- E. Hart of Alaska,
| who took a $3000 bond, and' "was
presented a German soldier's watch

DON'T DRINK SHIPS!

Are you shocked to see the lady drinking ships?
You drink ships every time you use sugar unnecessarily, In a
beverage.
Seventy-five per cent, of the sugar used in this country has to bo
brought here in ships. Every popsibie ship is needed for the trani

Nov. 7. — Within forty minutes af

the American army are ready to re

operations. Ordinarily the unit is

enlisted men and is composed of flv

surgeon, and an assistant. Students
from jhe Univers'.ty of Cleveland
and who were trained at Allentown,

of th* enlisted personnel.
Ha< ng arrived behind the firing

an' provides beds under canvas for
woundfd men and must provide all

Br these advanced methods the
