CHEERS RING AT MEETING Throngs Turn Out for Programme and Spirit Runs High Ad Club Quartet Aids in Stir ring Entertainment. A fitting climax to the remarkable demonstration of yesterday came last rdsrht In the mass meeting at the Arm ory. Patriotism was the motif, and It was dominant throughout the music and addresses. The audience was stirred with this sentiment, and cheers repeatedly rang out in appreciation of the music and in applauding: the speakers. Americanism was the keynote of the evening. All of the talks emphasized It, and everyone who heard the ad dresses realized he was a better Amer- loan for having entered into the spirit of the gathering. The Police Band started the demon tration with a half-hour concert of patriotic airs before the first speaker was announced. The music miea ine big Armory drill hall, where the au dlence was seated, and every number was encored. From throats of brass, the muslo that every American loves throbbed and echoed to the farthest corners of the building. It was such an occasion as stirred one to a keener spirit of Nationalism. Fine Patriotism Shorn. The audience displayed fine patrlotlo enthusiasm. It arose and sang "The Etar-Spangled Banner" at the opening and "America" at the close. The meeting was under auspices of the Oregon Patriotic Service League, and II. H. Ward, the president, acted s chairman. The three principal speakers were B. K. Irvine, editor of the Oregon Jour nal: Mrs. E. B. Hanley, well-known campaign speaker, and Justice Wallace McCamant, of the State Supreme t;ourt. Kach delivered a stirring patriotic ad dress, arousing the audience time and again to tremendous outbursts or ap clause. Just before the close of the meeting William D. Wheelwright presented set of resolutions, which were unani mously adopted. Indorsing "the action of the President as set forth In hi message and proclamation, and hereby Dledge the loyal and unswerving sup port of the community to policies by him promulgated. The resolution also appealed to Con Kress to enact promptly legislation providing for enrollment of an by selective conscription "without modi flcatlon Copies of the resolutions, together with information concerning the great parade of the afternon, were tele graphed to President Wilson last night. Ad Club Quartet Sings, Seated on the platform last night Jn addition to the speakers were Mayor Albee. Captain Hardy, survivor of th Perry expedition to Japan in 1S53 Colonel Wallace and Lieutenant-Colonel McAlexander. The Ad Club Quartet sang two songs, both of them beln encored. The first was "America- Hear You Calling Me," end the second was an entirely new song, "The Ameri can Boy," written by a Portland man, Krnest II. Hunt. Yesterday was the first time It has been sung here and it made a big hit. B. F. Irvine was presented as the first speaker. He referred to the signifi cance of the day telling of the Bat tle of Lexington, of the fight the minute men of that day made against the British arms and the great victory they won. His talk was an appeal for pure and unfaltering devotion to the flag. Mr. Irvine In Eloquent. Mr. Irvine eloquently described the picturesque setting of the National Capital at Washington, and declared that "the sun in all Its course through the heavens looks down upon no nobler sight." , Thl3 sight, he continued, is bound to Impress the witness with the power that the Government represents. "But the real power," he added, "lies not in those great white buildings or in the men In authority there, homes. "The strength of this country lies in the little white cottage with the chil dren playing around it on the green sward. The strength of America Is in the rude cabins in the hearts of the people. f service to your country I beg that! you young men will not overlook tne wonderful possibilities or service 10 your country . and at the same time enefit to yourselves ty enlisting in the Navy of the United States. Twice within the last two weeks President Wilson has appealed personally to the eople to fill out the necessary quota f men in the naval service to bring our Navy up to the standard of ef ficiency. She needs men. She needs them badly. She, needs them at once. It will be months before the Army can be ready for service, but the Navy is ow the safeguard or every part or tne United States. From Paul Jones to Admiral Dewey, the Navy of the United tates has stood second to none in ner fficiency and in her Ideals. Today as never before we look to her as our most valuable first line of defense. 'May Columbia stand as the guardian f liberty to all the world; in her hands the starry emblem of a free peo ple; her feet securely planted on the solid foundation of justice and equality to all mankind." Address Fall of Fire. Justice McCamanfs address was full of fire and patriotism. There is one toast," no began, "that every American always ought to De ready to propose. It is: "My country, may she always be right, but right or wrong, my country." " He asserted that the people of this country are too prone to accept the blessings of government for granted. We all benefit from the schools," he continued. "We all use the mails and are protected in our life and property by the guarantees of our state and Federal constitutions, behind which Is the power of 100,000,000 freemen. Now this Government calls upon us for service and it Is for us to perform this service manfully. Away with the thought that we should fight this war with one hand. Away with the thought that we of the laity who know little of military af fairs should lag behind because the plans of those in charge of the military may not meet with our approval. If wo don't co-operate with the other nations at war with Germany we can't complain If they make peace without consulting us. If for no other than prudential reasons we should unite with the other nations to crush Prussian barbarism." He attributed the present opportun ity for America to pay her Just debts to some of the allied nations to a Providential power. Xiet us rejoice," he declared, "at the chance to pay our debt to tha land of Lafayette and Rochambeau. To England we owe our language and literature and the heritage of the common law. "To Russia we owe a friendship of more than a century's standing." He pointed out emphatically that no American has sought this war. When the Lusltania was torpedoed and more than 100 Americans killed, he explained we contented ourselves wiht diplomatic protests. When ship after ship, bear ing American citizens, was sent to the bottom of the ocean the people patiently waited for a disavowal They waited for apologies when Ger man diplomats conducted conspiracies against the Government. German Acta Renewed. "Month by month and week by week he enumerated, "the toll of American lives falling prey to German lawless ness grew more. Then the German authorities pre sumed to tell us on what part of the high seas we might be permitted to travel. Finally came the Zimmermann note with its proposal to Mexico to embroil Japan in a war against us with the promise of three of our common wealths as a reward for her treachery, "Is any American so servile as to stand for that foulest insult ever per petrated on his country?" he demanded Instantly there came from all parts of the great building cries of "No! No! He recalled the historic episodes In American history from Lexington and Concord the anniversaries of which were celebrated yesterday through Sumpter and. other stirring periods to the present time. He reviewed, too, some of the notable examples of Prussian barbarism com mitted in Belgium and in other parts of battle - stricken Europe since the present war began. Prusslanlsm Is Assailed. "The time has come," he asserted, when Prussian autocracy must be crushed and chastened. "I hope the world is ready to learn a new lesson of the brotherhood of man. "It matters not whether or not you are descended from the earliest set tlers In this land or whether or not you came here an Immigrant only five years ago, if you believe the starry flag is the greatest of all emblems, yours Is the rare privilege of fighting In this battle for democracy. Away with the thought that the su preme blessedness on earth consists in an era of prosperity and an opportunity to make money." He urged people to Join in the senti ments expressed by the apostle of old when he exclaimed. "Lord, what will you have me do?" At the conclusion of Justice McCam It is in the mant's address, Mr. Wheelwright was introduced, and he read the resolution favoring selective conscription, which was unanimously adopted. The audience then arose and sang America," and the meeting ended, HUNDREDS ASTORIA ill LIIIE PARADE Patriotic Organizations All Kinds and People Gen erally Participate.

(Spe claL) Greatest in point of number o people in line and the greatest patri otic demonstration in the history of the city characterized the Lexington i'remlrd Buying of Householders De clared Factor In Demand, but Reaction la Predicted. The local flour market yesterday had the biggest Jump since the Euro pean war began, when prices were raised 60 cents a barrel to $11.20 a barrel wholesale. The advance was due to the excited rise in the wheat market. At the Merchants' Exchange wheat bids were put up 10 to 15 cents a bushel to $2.32f2.34 for bluestem. J2.27(& 2.29 for fortyfold, $2.27 (g 2.28 for club and $2.23 for red. Even at these high prices. however, there were no sellers. There is but little wheat left In the North west to be marketed and Eastern mill ers are bidding keenly for the remnant. Cash prices In the Eastern markets are so high that wheat bought in the Northwest at current rates can be shipped East at a good profit. Estimates compiled by authorities yesterday showed that the wheat Bur plus above home needs in the United States on April 1 was only 53,000,000 bushels. That this will be exhausted by the end of the season is evident, as last year, from April 1 to July 1. ex ports amounted to 55,000,000 bushels. It Is evident that every facility will be given the allies to get this surplus wheat. The stocks In the Northwest already sold to foreigners are being moved at a faster rate. The strength of the Eastern wheat markets is due as much to buying by American millers as by exporters. Trade advices from all quarters are of an extraordinary domestic demand for flour. Consumers appear to be stocking up for many months ahead In the belief that this country faces a great shortage of breadstuff s. Grain men tlo not take this view. They as sert that there is plenty of wheat in the United States for all home require ments and they believe that prices will react as soon as the abnormal house hold demand is satisfied. In the mean time, they declare, the American peo ple are forcing the wheat market to an unwarranted height by their frenzied flour buying. SAN FRANCISCO, April 18. The price of flour was advanced by local millers today 60 cents a barrel. Family grades are now quoted at from $11.20 to $11.60 a barrel. Marshfield; County Roadmaster R. B.
