Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGOXIAN, MONDAY,' MARCH 28, 1917. .1 SHOW LOYALTY" IS SLOGAN FOR TODAY Every Citizen of Oregon Is Urged to Make "Patriotic Week" Notable. CHURCHES GIVE IMPETUS Governor Confident That Military Units of State Will All Be Filled and Stimulus moX to Fed eral Enlistments. CITY POLICE GET WAR OR DERS. Orders were read to the police at rollcall yesterday directing them to pay especial attention on their rounds to watching the bridges and public buildings of the city. This Is supposed to be one of the duties of the police at all times, but the orders of yes terday are regarded as a special war measure to assure additional protection. This Is patriotic week, and today Is "Wear-a-Flag" day. Every citizen of Oregon has been called upon to Join in a grand demon stration to assert his loyalty and pro cure unity of action In the impending Aational crisis. Patriotic week really started yester day. It was- reflected in the sermons of pastors In scores of Portland churches. It found further response in the steady stream of willing and earnest young men that formed before the regular Army enlisting sergeants in a dozen improvised headquarters. When word came from Washington that the United States Navy was to be recruited up to its full authorized strength of 87,000, many embryo sail ors made inquiries at the various r.aval recruiting stations, declaring their intention to enlist. They have the true spirit of Patriotic week al ready. The patriotic spirit was shown again in the zeal and energy and enthusiasm at National Guard headquarters, where the boys are on the qui Vive awaiting another call to arms. The National Guardsmen want to be ready to go, full strength, as soon as they are needed. They are going to conduct a whirlwind campaign this week to get new recruits. Some units of the several guard organizations are not mustered up to full strength. The present week Is expected to see them filled out In every particular. Patriotic week, so far as Portland is concerned, will not produce a cut and dried programme. Three or four big mass meetings have been scheduled, but each one is more or less inde pendent of the other. While a good beginning was mads in the churches yesterday, the movement will be given further Impetus today when a committee of women and girls will. sell miniature American flags on the streets. The proceeds are to be used to swell the funds of the Girls' Honor Guard, an organization that is providing many auxiliary comforts and conveniences for the soldiers and sail ors already in the service or who later may be called in the service. - These young women will be active throughout the day and every patriotic person is expected to buy at least one flag and wear it as a display of patriotism. In connection with the week's activi ties will be a mass meeting in the au ditorium of Lincoln High School next Saturday night under the auspices of the newly organized Patriotic League. More than 500 separate civic organiza tions will be represented. Another big meeting is scheduled for Friday evening. It probably will be held in the Armory. It will be in charge of the women of Portland. A committee of young women in charge of the demonstration is as follows: Miss Mamie Helen Flynn. Miss Hazel Litt, Miss Jean Morrison, Miss Alice Gilman and Miss Helen Ladd. Nearly every important city and town of the state is arranging to observe Patriotic week on varying scales of magnificence. In some places a regu lar daily programme has been arranged; herever a unit of the National Guard is established a special effort will be made to get recruits. Governor Withycombe and Adjutant General White are hopeful and confi dent that by the end of the week every guard organization will be recruited to full strength.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE, via JJoyon. March 25. (From a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press.) A visit by Presi dent ' Polncare, his Cabinet Ministers and Senators and Deputies yesterday to Noyon. Roye, Nesle and Ham, de veloped many pathetic spectacles. Old men and women, who, with chil dren under 12 years of age, are all the humans the Germans left behind them, forgot their two and a half years of suffering during which they stoically repressed tears of rage, and wept with Joy as they were surrounded by the official, representatives of Franca. M. Poincare and his suite inspected the ruins of Ham. where 13 tons of ex plosives were used in three double charges to blow up the historic ruins of the fortress with the famous dun geon of John of Luxemburg. Where stood the high towers and massive walls of this great stronghold which held the Spanish army in check in the 16th century, are now nothing but gap ing craters filled with water. At the junction of the Noyon anf Nesle roads at Ham, where a mine was sprung Just before the Germans left, is an excava tion 50 feet wide. This is a sample of what the Germans have done at every crossroad. ADMEN TO AID DEFENSE Advisory Board Formed in . Mobil ization Campaign. NEW YORkI March 25.

TRIP TO BE DESCRIBED Daring Rescue of Members of South Polo Party, Who Were Marooned 20 Months on Ice, Will Be . Subject of liecture. EIr Ernest Shackleton. hero and ex plorer of the Antarctica, will visit Portland next month. He will arrive here April 12 as he hurries across the country from San Francisco and while his stay will probably be no more than a day he will tarry long enough to see Portland's beauties and to tell of his last trip to the South Pole country, which Is considered the most thrilling ever made Into that region of risks and frigidity. Sir Krnest will land In San Fran cisco the day after Easter, bringing the men of the second division of his exploration party that he has Just res cued after they were marooned for 20 months at Cape Evans, on the Antarc tic continent. San Francisco Is plan ning a rousing greeting for the hero, the Bohemian Club, the leading men's organization of the Golden Gats city, having planned to honor him for his daring and accomplishments. The club has sent a cablegram to him congrat ulating him upon the success of his rescue work and inviting bim to re ceive its hospitality while there. Tha event will be an American welcome to a world hero, and 'a representative of the club will meet him in mid-ocean and escort him to port, after which the welcoming ceremonies by representa tives of many organizations will take place. The next night Sir Ernest will give his first story of his adventures to the world at a- monster meeting th"re. He will luave immediately af terward for Portland, so that this city will be second on his trip. He planned to go straight East from Ban Fran cisco, visiting only the largest cities on the way. but a united invitation from the Northwest cities lnduqed him to come this way. Portland Is planning to give him a welcome that will be fully as rousing as that of the California city. Ar rangements are being made for him to give his illustrated lecture the night of April 12 and have him show his pic tures of his trip and rescues, which are said to be the most beautiful and graphic of any that were taken lit that part of the world. Never has there been such a thrill ing adventure in the Anarctics as that of Shackleton's party, being trapped in the South Pole country, of his leading the 27 men more than 1000 miles through the iceberg-ridden sea to safety and of his later saving seven of the second part of the exploration party on the opposite side of the Antarctic continent. , HOME DAMAGED BY FIRE Blaze Follows Refusal to Admit De partment Inspector.
