"just as the view we had from Council Crest was the grandest natural panorama I have ever seen " "Portland has Bet an example to the entire eouhtry for the celebration 6f a sane Fourth," said Rev. Eamuel Zane Batten, of Philadelphia. "It was an ideal way to pass the day. And what a rare sight to see the children of a great city assembled to listen to good Christian counsel from its Mayor.

Halga- slan, of Konia. Turkish Asia, "and I shall take great pleasure In telling the Christians of my country the way you celebrated the birthday of your Na tion In Portland." "The parade thia morning was a tre mendous demonstration," said Rev. J. Boggs Dodds, of Sterling.

AlTERXATES BETWEEN ARMY A XT) PULPIT. Lieutenant Bosio Comes to America to Establish Colonies in Farming restricts. One of the youngest and most zeal ous of the foreign delegates to the Christian Citizenship Conference Is Lieutenant Davide Bosio, of Palermo, Italy, who,, represents both - war and peace, as he is an officer in the Italian army and also a minister of the gospel. His first training was lor the army, where he advanced to the rank of Lieutenant. He also studied in Flor ence for the church, and afterward took a post graduate course In Scot land. Signor Bosio is a Waldenslan, the oldest Protestant denomination In the world. His congregation in Rome have lust built a church with a. seating capacity of 1200 near the Vatican. Mrs. John Kennedy Stewart, of New York City, and Lieutenant Bosio had much to do with the erection of this edifice. The Italian preacher has had charge of a church two years In Rome., and two years in Palermo, but by serving two months each year lri the army, he can keep his rank of lieutenant in the Highlanders, as his company Is called. Bosio says the wonderful feats of horsemanship, which rank Italians as the best cavalrymen in the world, are attained by long and patient drilling. Lieutenant Bosio says Italy's recent war has aroused patriotism, dispelled socialism and strengthened national feeling. Expenses of the war . were paid from money on hand and no na tional debt was Incurred. In speaking of his other calling the church Lieutenant Bosio said that he had been three months- now in America, looking after Immigration and es tablishing Italian colonies In farming districts to get them away from the slums. Signor" Bosio says the climate of California is especially favorable for Italian colonisation.

Gospel hymns by church choirs and popular patriotic airs by brass bands provided the crowds which witnessed the repetition of the Rose Festival elec tric parade last night with a merry musical entertainment that served ef fectively to close Portland's sane Fourth of July celebration. Although Portland people- had seen the parade twice before, they turned out in great numbers last night to see it again. Paradoxical as It may seem, the neo pie last night,, as In Rose Festival nights, refused to view the parade from tfle places where It can be seen to best advantage from the semi-darkened streets in the residence districts. bo far as the parade itself is con eerned. it had lost none of its glory tnrougn tne tnree weeks or inactivity.

Riding triumphantly between the Il luminated floats were two church choirs on sight-seeing automobiles. They were under the direction of Wil liam H. Boyer and W. A. Montgomery, and sang familiar hymns. The people along the curb lines were expected to Join in the singing, but evidently they were not sufficiently familiar with the hymns or lacked in enthusiasm. In the crowd last night were several hundred persons who are here attend ing the Christian Citizenship conven tion, Including a score or more from foreign countries. They marveled at the splendor and beauty of the floats. George L.
