Marseillaise" and "Star-Spangled
Banner" Sang Until Echoes Roll
Back From mils Judge
McCamant Speaker.
For an hour the park blocks between
Salmon and Main streets about the
Court of Patriotism, where stood the
flag-draped Statue of Liberty, had held
some thousands of gaaers. In close for
mation. Men worked an elbow free in
the press and glanced again at their
watches. Before the goddess stood a
dais, flag-bound, and on It a most pe
culiar instrument. A telegraph key
crackled and clicked.
And then, swifter than thought, 'an
Impulse leaped from distant Washing
ton, in the District of Columbia, and
the weighted blade of the odd con
trivance dropped at Its bidding. A cord
yielded its strands to sudden severance.
The flag drapery of the goddess was
drawn from her golden robes by the
unseen tiring-maidens of electricity.
She sprang into light there, high over
the gazers, while the breeze waved the
flag in homage.
President Fnn Electric Spark.
And It had happened aa they said it
would, those planning directors of the
Rose Festival. The President of the
United States had freed the spark that
unveiled the genius of the fiesta
Liberty.
In the Court of Patriotism stood at
ease a company of marines, under com
mand of Lieutenant L. E. Coovert. Upon
the rostrum, their princesses about
them, smiled little Queen Nina and
King Mae, with Royal Rosarians on
guard.
In a rich baritone that flooded the
evening, that grand battle song of free
France, the "Marseillaise." was sung by
Hartridgo Whjpp. As the last note of
the unequaled call to arms rang out,
the listeners lifted a. long cheer.
Mrs. E. E. Larlmore, wife of Presi
dent Larimore. of the Rose Festival,
hoisted the official flag while the gath
ering joined with one voice in the sing
ing of the "Star-Spangled Banner,"
sang it In a chorus that rolled away
through' the evening to the echoes in
the hills.
Judge McCamant In Speaker.
As the principal speaker of the eve
ning. Judge Wallace McCamant was In
troduced by President Larimore. his
address being announced as "France
and America, Champions of Liberty."
"The two most notable events in po
litical history are the American Revo
lution of 1776 and the French Revolu
tion of 1789," said Judge McCamant.
"They had their backgrounds, to be
sure: but they were culminating points
In the great battle for free institutions.
All that is glorious in latter-day poli
tical history has drawn its Inspiration
from - the heroic determination of
Americans and Frenchmen to win the
blessings of liberty for themselves and
for posterity... .u. -
"Thirty years ago the Bartholdi sta
tue was received as a gift from the
trench Republic. Ever since it s
stood at our gateway, proclaiminr s
message to all who come. It tells t. .1
that this is the land of Washington and
of Lincoln 'a Nation conceived In lib
erty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal, 1
Debt to France Lonr Overdue
"This statue attests the fraternity
of republics. All who accept the prin
ciples of the Declaration of Independ
ence as their political creed are breth
ren. It Is theirs to foster the growth
of free thought, to sympathize with the
aspirations of all - peoples of free
thought, to sympathize with the aspira
tions of all peoples for higher and
better things and to resist all forces
making for the enslavement of reason,
for the exaltation of might over right.
We owe a great debt to France nH
It Is long overdue. In the providence
of God an opportunity has come to
us to pay that debt. There Is nothing
finer in all the heroic story of our
revolution than the devotion of Lafay
ette. He was a mere boy; America was
a far country to the Frenchmen of his
day. Yet he heard the impassioned
appeal of Patrick Henry; his heart
mroDoed in unison with the defend
ers of Bjnker Hill; he laid his rich
young manhood on the altar of Amer
ican freedom; through all the discour
agement of our war for independence
he remained of stout heart and of good
courage. When he returned to France
ne took with him as his inspiration in
lire the lorty character of George
Washington; through all the stirring
events In French history in which he
played a part, the example of Wash
ington was to him a pillar of cloud by
unu ol ure oy nignt.
American. People Say "Amen."
"To me there is something mag
nificent in America's entry in the pres
ent war. France has been fighting an
unequal battle to preserve civilization.
"Now when the man power of the
French republic approaches exhaus
tion, America's chief magistrate cries
out, "The world must be made safe
for democracy." Throughout the length
and breadth of the land the people
cry, 'Amen!' and the greatest of repub
lics bares Its arm to strike In behalf
of liberty and of civilization.
"We shall not fight our battles alone.
God still reigns. If we shall do our
pari manruny and worthily, our flag
will fly In triumph over some Euro
pean Yorktown, some Appomattox on
German soil. In the words of Lincoln,
Let us have faith that rlarht mak
right and In that faith let us dare to
me ena to ao our duty as we under
stand It.' "
At the conclusion of Judge He
v-amant s address, John L. Clymer. di
rector of the Pacific division of the
American Red Cross, spoke briefly of
mai organization and the duty of true
Americans toward It.
The programme closed with the sing
ing of "America" by the audience, led
by Hartrldge Whlpp.

played "America" and. "The Star
Spangled Banner," with the crowds
standing, and Mayor Albee presented
to their majesties, the key to the city.
The young rulers and the court of
children made a picture that was as
bright and beautiful as the June day.
About them were the board of gover
nors of the Festival and the Rosarians
in uniform. Miss Ruth Plummer, God
dess of Roses, and Miss Lucile Dan
forth. Goddess of Peace, attended at
the crowning.
Great Human Flag Waves.

majesties, the Maypole dance was pre
sented by 200 children, under the direc
tion of Mary Brownlle. The little girls.
fancifully dressed, danced about with
the airy steps of real fairies and the
crowd of spectators were delighted
with the picture.
The flag drill, with several hundred
children dressed in the red, white and
blue of the National colors, under the
direction of Professor Robert Krohn,
was a rare delight. Every unit in the
big color scheme seemed to be such a
coherent part of the whole that the
effect was spectacular. This, too,
called forth enthusiasm from the au
dience. LJbcrty Girls Applauded.
Liberty girls. 300 in number, with
patriotic costumes, every one of them
a Miss Columbia, led by Professor
Krohn, earned a warm welcome from
the crowds with their drill and dance,
singing, "America, I Love Tou," in
which the Rosarian quartet joined.
As beautiful aa can be Imagined was
the dance of the rainboy girls, led by
Miss Georgia Wey. They were from
Jefferson High School, and numbered
120. Their costumes were the colors
of the rainbow and their steps were
as graceful aa sunbeams dancing
through a shower in Spring.
Tlie emblem girls, from Ladd School,
directed by Miss Johanna Kramer, in
the National colors, danced their way
straight Into the hearts of the crowds.
These children were like fairy folk
and their drill was wonderfully pleas
ing. Major Dorothy Reed led the Lincoln
High School Cadets. 60 strong, through
a military drill, bearing muskets on
heir shoulders, with a degree of pre
cision that might be envied by real
vIdiers. White uniforms lent an added
degree of charm to this feature of the
spectacle.
Ballet Enchants Throng.
A dumbbell drill by small boys from
the Portland Social Turn Verein, direct
ed by Professor Richard Genserowskl,
was astonishingly good. The lads
i ill
seemed welded into a machine, so ex
act were their movements. This num
ber attracted the fancy of the crowd tu
sua han extent that they got a decided
ovation.
Of similar type was the work of the
tennis girls, from the same Institution,
who went through a drill with their
racquets that was extraordinary for its
perfection. Posturing and arm move
ments were spectacular.
A group of 60 charming girls, also
directed by Professor Genserowskl- pre
sented the ballet from the opera "Obe
ron" Jn delightful fashion. Miss Cor
nelia Lelck was solo dancer and she
was applauded liberally for her grace
ful steps.
Military Drills Are Oooa.
Immediately following the perform
ances of the Portland Social Turn
Verein 21 members of the Portland
Hunt Club came onto the field and per
formed for more than 13 minutes.
Harry M. Kerron, master of fox hounds,
was the drill master, and he put his
ten couples through their paces with
out a hitch.
Several military and ring drills were
put on exhibition by the riders,' led by
Natt McDougall, president. The men
wore the customary red coats and high
hats, and the women with their black
riding habits and silk hats made a
stunning appearance. Their offering
was taken with much enthusiasm.
While the Portland Hunt Club drill
was going on several volley ball teams
were competing for honors in the north
part of the field.
