RECRUITING GOES ,
AHEAD WITH ZEST
Deficit in Third Oregon Infan
try Reduced to 150, as 180
- Are Added in Two Days.
NAVAL BRANCH GETS 15
Applications for Marine Corps Are
Pouring in and Regular Army
Quota Coming in Daily Re-'"
serves to Come Next. ,
If recruiting- for the Third Oregon .is
as brisk during the next two days as
1n the last two days, the regiment will
be at full war strength by tomorrow
evening.
The street campaign started on Sat
urday by Lieutenant-Colonel Carl
Abrams Is bearing fruit. More than
100 enlistments were obtained on Sat
urday and about 80 yesterday.
About 150 more men are needed to
round out the regiment
Colonel Abrams and bis men did not
permit the Easter holiday to check
their enthusiasm. Headed by the Coast
Artillery band, which volunteered its
services for the occasion, they pa
raded the principal business , streets
and aroused a high pitch of patriotic
fervor. .
Fourth street, in front of the re
cruiting office, was crowded all day
with serious, earnest men. Sometimes
the animated groups 'filled the street
on both sides from Washington to
Stark.
All that would have been necessary
to "start something" in that crowd
would have been to get into the center
of it and shout "Hoch der Kaiser!" or
words of similar effect.
Clerical Force Works Hard.
A squad of clerks and non-commissioned
officers labored from early
morning until late evening examining
applicants and filling out enlistment
papers. Captain Cicero F. Hogan, in
Immediate charge of the work, alter
nated his activities between the office
and the street.
Captain Uogan went out with the
band at frequent Intervals and ad
dressed the crowds. He censured the
young men severely for not stepping
up and enlisting.
"The trouble with you fellows is that
you haven't the nerve to enlist," he
shot at them.
"Don't wait for your mother or your
best girl to force you in. If your girl
Is the right sort she won't have you
unless you go in voluntarily." .
Invariably he got three or four re
cruits after every speech. ' Other offi
cers were equally active, irivates of
the various companies made personal
solicitations among their friends. As a
result several companies now are up to
war strength of 150 men. Company G.
which had only nine privates when the
call came two weeks ago, is full. A
keen rivalry has developed among the
new men in this company for places as
non-commissioned officers. They are
drilling for dear life, but the plums
will not be passed out until every man
Is proficient.
Commanders in Conference.
Adjutant-General White went to Van
couver Barracks yesterday to confer
with Colonel John L. Hayden, in charge
of the troops In the Northwest, and
with Colonel John L. May, commanding
the regiment.
Adjutant-General White was well
pleased last night with the results of
the spectacular recruiting campaign.
He is confident that another two days
will see the third with 2002 men and
66 officers strong. That is the War
Department's requirement. It will be
possible then to start real training and
whip the men into shape by company
and battalion formation. ,
It Is reported that additional units of
the Third are to be moved today and
later this week, but these movements,
as well as others hereafter ordered,
will be regarded as military secrets.
Dsplte the Sunday lull the naval re
cruiting station in the Dekum building
enlisted 15 men yesterday-and started
them promptly for the Mare Island
training station. More than a score of
other applicants appeared but were not
examined on account of the necessity
on the part of the officers of getting
their records straightened out.. Lieutenant-Commander
Blackburn and his
force worked all day.
Commander Blackburn expects a big
rush of applicants today. He will be
prepared to handle 100 men.
Naval Reserve Comes Next.
Enlistments for the Naval. Reserve
. will be accepted in the Dekum build
ing this week, beginning Tuesday.
Lieutenant H. F. Frazer will be in
charge. This Is the civilian branch of
the Navy. Members of the reserve are
subject to call in case of further em
ergency and the emergency is most
likely to develop soon at least as soon
as the recruits now being received are
drilled and trained and given regular
assignments.
A score or more of applicants were
received yesterday by Captain Pinkston
In charge of the Marine Corps recruit
ing station -in the Panama building.
This is a popular branch of the.serv-
Ice end offers excellent opportunities j
for young men
The regular Army recruiting office
in the Worcester building also is get
ting Its quota of men every day. More
men are needed, however-, especially
men who have had previous service in
the Army.
As soon as the Third Oregon Is en
listed up to full war strength It Is
probable that the reserve battalion, as
provided under the national defense act
of 1916. will be recruited. This unit
will require 600 men and a complement
of officers and will be trained to fill
r vacancies occurring in the regular
'units of the regiment.
STAR yRGED FOR COLONEL
Business Men Propose McAlexan
der for Brigadier-General.
Lieutenant-Colonel U. G. McAlex
ander has been proposed for appoint

ness and professional men's training
class that drills four nights each week
at the Armory. Resolutions have been
adopted by the class and forwarded to

be named by the President, and the
Colonel s friends hope Colonel McAlex

NATION'S WORD PLEDGED
Federal Reserve Bank Publishes
President's Statement Mayor
Albee's Proclamation De
mands Proper Conduct.
German subjects residing In this
country are assured by f notice Just
issued by the Federal Reserve Banks
that their bank deposits and other
property In this country will not be
confiscated by the Government.
Following is a copy of the bulletin
on this subject sent out by the bank at
San Francisco:
"The Department of State on Febru
ary 8 Issued the following statement:
" It having been reported to him
that there Is anxiety In some quarters
on the part of persons residing in this
REMODELED COLISEUM.
country who are the subjects of foreign
states lest their bank deposits or other
property should be seized in the event
of war between the United States and a
foreign nation, the President authorizes
the statement that all such fears are
entirely unfounded. The Government
of the United States will in no circum
stances take advantage of a state of
war to take possession of property in
which international understandings
and the recognized raw of the land
give It no Just claim or title. It will
scrupulously respect all private rights
alike of Its own citizens and of the
subjects of foreign states.' "
Mayor Reaaatares Aliens.
In his proclamation to the people
last week Mayor Albee gave further
assurance to persons of foreign birth
that they are In no danger of suffering
coniiscation. 11 s language on this sub.
Ject was as follows:
"In view of the declaration bv Con
gress that a state of war exists be
tween Germany and this Government, I,
n- n Aioee, aiayor or the City of Port
land, deem 1 wise, in formal proclama
tion, to call to the attention of all resi
dents of foreign birth the fact that the
united fatates. even in war. has never
confiscated property of any foreign
resident unless such course was the
consequence of his own hostile act.
mat now. as always, no rpsMnnt rr
Portland need fear an Invasion of his
personal or property rights so long as
he conducts himself In a proper man
ner and peaceably goes about his busi
ness." Hundreds of Oregon dpodtc holdlns-

ance companies licensed to do hnslnoHs
in this state also are advised that they
win do ruuy protected despite the war.
All foreign insurance companies,
when they are admitted tn do himinaaa
In this country, must make heavy de
posits to protect their iollcv-holderi.
All of them, also, have acquired heavy
holdings In this country, so that, for
all practical purposes, their American
affalrn nr. am ctrtun l ,
domestic company. Policy-holders have
oeen assured that they will not lose
anything, regardless of the war.
Another class of people who are left
"holding the sack" are those who
bought German war bonds early in tho
war. They are unable now to collect
the interest.
Immense Volume Sold Ttre.
When the war between tn European
nations first broke out and before there
was any likelihood of the United States
becoming involved In it, an immense
volume of German bonds were sold here.
Portland investors bought readily.
After the lines began to tighten and
communication with Germany was all
but shut off, it was Impossible to send
more bonds over- here. At the begin
ning of this year the German govern
ment defaulted In the payment of in
terest. The merman bankers advised
that they had the money ready to meet
the payments, but could not get the
cash past the British blockade.
The bondholders naurally are accept
ing the situation gracefully and hoping
that after the war they may be able
to collect. It Is assumed that Germany
will be forced to guarantee these pay
mens as one of the conditions of peace.

of
A movement to furnish the Oregon
troops quantities of celebrated Oregon
products such 'as the Oregon apples,
Tillamook cheese, Columbia River sal
mon, loganberry juice, strawberries
and other palatable products, has been
started by P. J. McGowan & Sons
of Warrendale, who yesterday offered
to subscribe 100 pounds a week of
fresh Columbia River salmon packed
In ice and prepaid to the "boys wher
ever they may be, provided it is not
too far away so that the fish would
outlive the ice on the trip."
The offer was made by Robert R.
Amos, superintendent of P. J. Mc
Gowan & Sons and was prompted by
discussion among some of the maturer
men, who realize that their age is
against them in entering the ranks.
but who want to do something of serv
ice during the war period.
Of the plan Mr. Amos said yester
day: "Since each one and all of us have
either a relative 'or personal friend
who has volunteered to go where he
may be sent and fight for our rights;
and as the seasons are coming on for
the good things to eat to be gathered
and enjoyed by us who will be able
to get them, would It not be our duty
to see that our boys of the Third Ore
gon and other fighting units contain
ing our citizens be supplied, as far as
practicable, with these choice articles
of food which make Oregon famous?
We should work out a system by which
all who would like to send stuff could
direct it to the proper place in the
proper way. - I would suggest estab
lishing a central depot where products
could be assembled once or twice a
week and dispatched."
