Portland offered no grounds yester
day for calling It "Americanization"
(lay.
Everyone in Portland demonstrated
that they were Americans already. It
1b true that a series of "'bloodless"
celebrations such as were held here
yesterday may have made better Amer
icans out of them, but nothing was
needed to convert the Portland popu
lace, or any part of it. into the spirit
of Americanism.
Patriotism exuded from every resi
dent of Portland yesterday and none
was more enthusiastic in his demon
strations or more sincere in hia ex
pressions than the naturalized Amer
ican. Participation Is General.
. Portland combined the "safe and
sane" idea with the 'Americanization"
plan with wholesome effect. It wasn't
Portland's first experiment with the
noiseless Fourth. Portland tried that
for the first time four years ago. It
proved so successful then that no one
ever has thought of turning back to
the old style that caused people to
pick up their newspapers with dread
on the morning of the fifth for fear
of seeing among the lists of killed and
wounded or maimed and. crippled the
names of some close friends or rela
tives. No previous f oaf th"" of July ever
brought forth such general partici
pation in the attending festivities and
no previous festivity ever provoked
such a fine display of loyalty and
patriotism.
Kormal Celebrations Itiuaneroiaa,
A score or more of formal celebra
tions were held in various parts of the
city and its environs. Every one of
them was attended by a lare and en
thusiastic multitude.
Yet thousands of others took ad
vantage of the holiday to visit 'the
nearby parks and vacation - resorts.
Inasmuch as the fourth day of July
fell on Sunday and independence day
really was ottfcerved on the fifth, this
double holiday offered additional op
portunity for the nature lover to com
mune with the out-of-doors.
Country and Seashore Call.
Every train that left Portland yester
day was filled. People went as far
south as Medford and Roseburg, as far
east as La Grande and Baker and as
far north as Seattle and Bellingham to
celebrate.
The beach resorts near Portland were
crowded. People sought the ocean as
early as Saturday afternoon and re
mained over Sunday and Monday. The
nearby parks, such as . the Oaks and
others, began to fill up long before
a-oon. Conspicuous under the arms or
i the hands of . the men and women
who journeyed out of Portland yester
day were great family lunch baskets.
Whole families went out to picnic
among the trees. Women with baby
buggies were accommodated on every
outbound car. They came home late
last night tired, but happy.
All Nationalities Represented.
They doubtless were fired with Just
as much patriotism as those who at
tended the more formal festivities, for
they found In Independence day an op
portunity for rare enjoyment.
Portland's most pretentious celebra
tion was that at Multnomah field, where.
representatives of virtually all the foreign-born
people living in the city
Joined with native-born Americans in a
grand observance of the Nation's natal
day. Every element of the foreign races
was Represented Germans, Italians,
British, Austrians, French, Swedish
and all the others.
Patriotism Kelt By AIL
But there'was no necessity for any
of those people Joining in the celebra
tion to prove their loyalty to the flag
of their adoption. They demonstrated
that they were Americana Just as much
as the native-born.
Some resemblance to the old-time
Fourths was furnished by the salute of
4S guns nred by the Battery A guns at
lultnomab field at noonsand by a simi
lar salute fired by the cruiser Boston
At the same time.
The afternoon in Portland was de
voted to more informal exercises at
various community centers.
Governor Wjthycombe honored Port
land by his presence, speaking at Mult
nomah field in the morning and at sev
eral parks in the afternoon.

Is Sewed Up at Hospital.
Four persons were" injured at 6
o'clock yesterday atfernoon by the
overturning of an automobile down an
embankment on Hillcrcst drive, near
the city limits. The members of the

W. W. Hargis, the driver of the car.
escaped uninjured.
The members of the party attributed
the accident to defective brakes, but
said that the wreck occurred so sud
denly that they were unable to deter
mine the cause exactly. The automo
bile shot over the bank and turned
over and rolled down the hill almost 100
feet, scattering the passengers along
the hillside.
Mrs. Hargis crawled from the wreck
and hailed an automobile passing along
the drive. The driver loaded the vic
tims of the wreck into his car and took
them to the Good Sanjaritan Hospital.
Mrs. Hargis refused to take an an
esthetic, while a long gash in her neck
was sewed up. She returned later to
her home at 288 Fifth street. The
other members of the party remained
in the hospital.
The automobile was Badly damaged.

Former Governor of Kiao-Chow Says
Germany Should Give Up Use -of
Submarines on. Merchantmen
Rather Than Stir Lninlty.
BERLIN, via London, July 5. Ad
miral Oscar von TruppeL at one time
Governor of Klao-chow, the German
concession In the Chinese Province of
Shantung, captured in November by the
Japanese, contributes an article today
to Der Tag, warning his compatriots
not to underestimate the danger of a
breach with, the United States, and ask
ing them to weigh seriously the ques
tion whether the value of Germany's
submarine warfare against British
commerce is great enough to Justify a
continuance of Its present form at the
expense of a rupture with the trans
Atlantic Nation.
The article is remarkable, not only
for its open statement regarding the
wide-reaching effects which the par
ticipation of America in the hostilities
might exercise on the future course of
the war effects which Admiral von
Truppel says are greatly under-estimated
in Germany, but also as a con
tribution from a naval officer.
Staad Xew la uermas.
- All the naval publicists of Germany
heretofore heard from have devoted
their energies to accelerating public
pinion against any modification of the
submarine and endeavoring to prevent
or to limit concessions to American de
mands in the forthcoming German note
to Washington.
The discussion between the advocates
and opponents of the question still is
keen, and the delivery of the note,
which a few days ago was scheduled
for. Monday or Tuesday, will probably
be postponed for several days.
It is hoped by those who favor a com
promise that the words of the Admiral
will produce a change In the naval
party, whose views thus far have been
opposedto any note of a character out
lined previously in these dispatches.
PuHiirr Ships May Be Kirapt.
This was to the effect that in all
probability the reply will embody pro
posals to exempt ships employed wholly
or principally In passenger traffic
from submarine attacks, though mak
ing them subject to stoppage and ex
amination. The naval party, however, have been
bringing heavy pressure to br jpcn

the British steamship Anglo-Calif or

this morning; after having; withstood
the attack of a German submarine for
four hours.
The ship's escape from destruction

masterly seamanship, which enabled
her to frustrate the efforts of her as

Caught in an avalanche of snow and

Portland, was bruised and badly fright
ened in a brief slide down the pre

Five other members of the Mazama

but the cool beads of the guides pre
vented what might have been a more
serious accident.
Miss Dllllnger lost her footing a few
hundred feet from the summit, shortly
after the climbers had left Lunch Kock
at 11 o'clock. The stout rope which
extends from Lunch TCock to the sum

t I in all the three elements where
the warring powers com Into actual

were contradictory.
Berlin uses m. "rellsble source" for

the pre-dreadnoucht tyre was sunk by
a Kurslan submarine at the mouth of
Dan a! a- Kay. but the official report
from I'etrogrod on the occurrence Is ac

Hurra Truth snd Dniester. Ore n1 Duke
Nicholas, commsnder-ln-cbtef of the

that after an extremely heavy bom
