Foster-mother of the nations, with her eyes all gladness, so stood America, unseen, but felt in every heartbeat, at an hour last night when she gave welcome to seven score sons and daughters the children of alien lands who sought do main In the fields of freedom. And this befell in Portland, before those thousands of expert citizen-makers, the members of the National Edu cation Association, at the concluding session of the Second Citizenship Con vention of the Bureau of Naturaliza tion. The wide, deep stage of the Audito rium had become a courtroom. There at the judicial bench sat John P. Kav anaugh. Judge of the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for the County of Multnomah. Grouped about him were the officers of the court, with John Speed Smith, chief naturalization exam iner, of the United States Department of Labor. Meeting Called Significant. One cauld not say that they were not already Americans, those men and women who sat beyond, awaiting the privilege of allegiance. , In no way did they differ from the neighbors one knows along the home street. And one, at least, was garbed in the uniform that is pledged to fight in France. Yet they were of 20 races and lands. Said President Aley, of the N. B. A., and his voice was glad: "I believe this to be the most significant meeting the association ever has held.' The hands beneath sounded a tempest. Briefly he dwelt upon the significance of the spectacle. "Ours is the privilege," he declared, "of seeing the culmination of teaching and training, in the taking of the oath of allegiance by those who have come from other shores, and who are anxious to share with us the benefits of this great country." 141 Are in Gathering. And these, said John (Speed Smith, chief naturalization examiner, were foreign friends who had passed the test and were about to receive that greatest of all honors, American citi zenship. Although they numbered only 141, he bade the spectators bear In mind that. with, the wives and minor children who entered citizenship with them, their roster would count more than 260 names. "Hear ye! Hear ye! Hear ye!" cried Sheriff Hurlburt. "The Honorable Cir cuit Court of the State of Oregon for Multnomah County is now in session." "David Abram Elin!" said Henry B. Hazard, naturalization examiner. And David Abram Elin, subject of Russia, 24 years of Age, his gray eyes level, advanced with, his two witnesses. Sheetmetal worker. , Applicant Fares Questioners. How long had the witnesses known the applicant? Had he ever been in volved i.-s trouble with the authorities? Was he of good moral character? "Was he a believer in anarchy or polygamy? Would he. in the judgment of the wit nesses, prove to be a. loyal addition to America? Satisfactory. Then Elin, himself, without trace of embarrassment, faced the'fire of ques tions. Yes, he had been born in Russia. Why had he elected to come to the United States? '""I believed the conditions In this country were better for the working nan," said the applicant, clearly. Why had he desired to become natur alized? The answer of the young Rus sian, about to pledge his final faith to another land, lacked notfor loyal read iness. "Because, intending to make this country my home, I wished to become a citizen," he said. '' Questions Are Shot Swiftly. Swiftly the examiner sent the test questions at him. They swept the range of civil government, and the teachers beneath, hardened to the Inquisition of classes, glanced one at another with some amaze as the answers were un- nesitatingiy given Just once, when the applicant proved hist Americanism by a pat bit of slang, did they laugh but the laughter was itself applause. -"Has Oregon a constitution T' asked the examiner. "Sure!" shot back David Abram Elin. Very well, then, understanding the principles of American government would the applicant be willing to sup port those principles, at his own peril. "I would." i. "There is no objection on the part of he Government to the admission of this applicant to citizenship," said the ex aminer. '.- "The applicant will be admitted on taking the oath of allegiance," Judge Kavanaugh replied. "Call the next ap plicant." School Passes Test. The Americanization school of the Portland public schools, conducted by Superintendent Alderman and Super visor Veatch, with M. Mosessohn as special instructor in civics and natur alization, stood its test. There were six applicants, five of them tutored In the school. All faced that rigid quiz zing that may well have baffled many an association delegate and came through with distinction. As for the remainder of the large class, they had already passed the examination earlier h the convention and were but await ing the oath. Came Edmond Joseph Landry, with his witnesses, subject of George V., King of Great Britain and Ireland, born in Canada, an automobile mechanic by trade. The examiner launched his Queries, until the reply to one brought cheering that was only quelled by the gaveL "I was In the service of the United States," was Landry's answer. "Ser geant In Battery A, of the Fifth Regi ment, Field Artillery, eight years and rour .months." Could he produce dis charges? Landry drew them from hi: coat. Honorable Discharge Shewn. Character 'excellent,' " reported the examiner, as he read the records of service, adding for the information of the assembly that the possession of these honorable discharges caused ex Sergeant Landry to be exempt from the necessity of a declaration of intent to become a citizen. .. "Mr. Landry," he asked, "should the United States again need your service. Would you be willing to offer it?' - "Yes, sir," replied the applicant. "Z And when that applauee had lulled. -further questioning evoked another ..gale. He had a brother in France, -with the Canadian contingent, said the .applicant. And his reason for wishing to pledge allegiance to the United CIRCUIT JUDGE KAVANAUGH, WITH COURT.

Ferdinand I. King of Roumanla, owned the allegiance of Edgar Schon berger, artist, until last night. He was born in Bucharest, and now is a photo engraver in Portland. One of his wit nesses was William Gadsby, who was born in Bombay, India. Close question ing summoned a smile, and the satis factory information that Mr. Schon berger supports his wife within his means, that he has no inclination to ward bigamy or anarchy. and that he saw in America the land of opportu nity. In civil government he proved letter perfect. He, too, went through the gates. George Steele Hamilton was born in Scotland, and is now a butcher in this city. He intended to educate his child, and believed in democracy. How great ly, then, enough to aid the Govern ment in trying to maintain it? George Steel Hamilton's answer was as prompt as a clansman's leap to the challenge. Moreover, he told the examiner why the republican form of government is to be preferred to the monarchical. Passed, with plaudits. . Young Woman Also Passed. Dark of hair and eyes Is Margaret McAskell, typist in the County Clerk's office, who owns bonnie Scotland as her birthplace. And she, too, has faith in democracy. In ft, she has two brothers fighting forit. "One of them is in France, and the other is in England, In a hospital," was the answer that tested the girders of the Auditorium. And was she just as ready? Yes. The storm broke again. to trickle away in laughter when Miss AicASKell was forced to deny, blushing- iy, any interest In polygamy. As for civil government, the baffled examiner used his store of queries and admitted ner iitness ror citizenship. A new name with his new Nation asked Isaac Kritchevsky, a subject of the Russias. "I have trouble to spell the last letters." bantered the merry eyed young applicant, whose name henceforth and to all men is to be Isaac Kay. Democracy had drawn him to shores of his adopted land. Applicant Offers Services. "How strongly do you believe In It?" asked the examiner. The shoulders of Isaac Kay squared and his voice was happy. "To prove it, -I've enlisted," he said. For three minutes the clamor would have deafened a boilermaker. And when they asked him to repeat the cabinet officers. Just like that, there were gasps of trepidation that Isaac Kay might let slip his laurels. Not he. He named them rapidly and went on to a discussion of the Initiative, referendum and recall. Pass, Isaac Kay, citizen. "This examination, I desire to an nounce to the N. E. A., is the result of the public school system," said John Speed Smith, with much satisfaction. "Of the six applicants who have suc cessfully passed the examination, four took the course, and one studied alone." -ine exceptions were the ex-are-int who was tutored for a week by Mr. Mossesohn, and Miss McAskell. Small Flags Presented. On behalf of the Orpi?nn fiu,i.4 the Sons of the American Revolution James F. Ewing, vice-president, begged leave to present to the class or -tiT,. small silk flags, the gift of the so ciety. There's a sense in which tVit. clety stands for the old citizenship, but vu. viuAcusiiip ih in nowise dirrerent from the citizenship of tnose who have been naturalized, and are to be admit ted to citizenship tonight," declared Mr. Ewing. The flags were presented to the large class by three little maids, Nancy Bon ham. Ruth Isherwood and Eleanor Kavanaugh. You are about to renounce allegi ance to the land of your birth and swear allegiance to the land of your adoption," said Judge Kavanaugh, ad dressing the applicants, who had risen clasping the flags of their new country. j v' vj tuuiiuy. jts air ana its sunshine have mingled with your blood. You now accept the full measure of re sponsibility the burdens that the Gov ernment imposes, along with the bless ings that it bestows. It is heartening to know that you, who first saw the light In other lands, are among the first to espouse the cause of liberty and Justice. Spirit of America Called On. "And now. as you call the God of nations to witness the sincerity of your intentions ana the purity of your mo tlves, may there arise in your visions the spirit of America!" The right hands were held high. "I will bear the true faith and allegiance to the same ... so help me God!" Fittingly, the exercises concluded with the singing of "America" by the tremendous chorus of the audience and the new citizens, led by W. H. Boyer. The personnel of the officials who took part in the naturalization cere mony is as follows: John Speed Smith, chief naturalization examiner. United States Department of Labor; John P. Kavanaugh, Presiding Judge; Thomas M. Hurlburt, Sheriff of Multnomah County; Joseph W.- Beveridee, clerk; John B. Easter, deputy clerk; Samuel W. Poole, bailiff; Henry B. Hazard, naturalization examiner. At the brief session of the N. E. A. which ensued, three addresses were der livered: "Cost of the Inadequate Night School," Caroline Hedger, Americani zation worker. Chicago; "Religious Ed ucation as a Means of National Prepar edness,' Charles E. Rugh, University of California, and an address by iZ. O. Holland, president of Washington Ag ricultural College. STATE YET IH DARK General White Warns Against Conclusions on Draft. QUOTA IS NOT RECEIVED Apparently Few - of First of New Army Will Be Taken Because of Enlistments Already In Army and National Guard. Although Oregon, through voluntary enlistments In the regular Army and the National Guard, which under the con scription law must be credited to the state, apparently has already exceeded the quota of men required of the state In the first draft, Adjutant-General White said yesterday that care should be taken not to jump at conclusions that this would exempt the state until the next draft. "Nobody knows what will be expect ed of Oregon until instructions are re ceived from the War Department," said General White. "No Instructions bear ing on the Oregon quota have yet been received. It is possible that, in view of its extraordinarily good showing in voluntary enlistments, the state will not have to furnish any men on the first draft. On the other hand, it Is quite possible that a certain quota will be required, though it seems cer tain that In that event it will not be a large one." An official announcement from Wash ington yesterday stated that each state and county and city of 30,000 or more would be required to furnish on the first draft two-thirds of 1 per cent of its population, as estimated by the War Department. The new Census Bu reau population estimate for Oregon is 675,092. On the two-thirds of 1 per cent ratio. Oregon would have to furnish 4500 men. But already the state Is credited to apply against the draft with 4683 National Guardsmen and 1974 regular Army recruits enlisted between April 2 and June 30, a total of 6667 men. This actually gives the state 2157 more men to its credit than the state. according to what information is avail able, would seem to be required to fur nish. It should be emphatically borne In mind, however, that until direct word is received from the War Department, not very much faith should be reposed in these figures and the apparent ex emption they would grant the state. The War Department may look at it differently and require Oregon to fur nish a certain number of men. What it says will go. The number of men to be raised In the first draft is 687,000, which Is a little more than the estimated popu lation of Oregon at present, according to the Census Bureau. M'NARY MAKES INQUIRY DESIGNATION OF GENERAL DEPOT ASKED FOR PORTLAND. Qnartermaster-General Says Nothing la to Be Gained That Orders Are to Buy Here Now. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, July 12. Senator McN'ary today conferred with the Quartermaster-General at the request of President Cor bett, of the Portland Chamber of Com merce, and Indorsed the recommenda tions of Colonel H. W. S. Wallace that Portland be made the general quarter master depot. The Quartermaster General stated that Portland Is now a Quartermaster depot, and would gain nothing by being made a general depot; that the change would In no way in crease the volume of quartermaster business in the city, nor would It give the business houses of Portland any advantage they do notyiow have. He said further that orders have, within the past few days, been sent to the depot quartermaster at Portland instructing him, as far as possible, to make all Army purchases in the local market, but bearing In mind the legal requirements, that purchases must be made only after competitive bidding, and then from the lowest responsible bidder. Whenever Portland contractors or firms underbid their competitors. General Sharpe assured the Senator they would get the Army contracts. MEEN NEEDED ON CHASERS Enlistment In Navy as - Class Sow Is Provided. Would you like to serve on a sub marine chaser? Well, your opportunity is at hand, for Lieutenant Roscoe How ard. U. S. N.s will be at Navy recruiting headquarters In the Dekum building Monday to receive applications from young men qualified for the submarine chaser branch of the service. Many applications had previously been made at the Navy recruiting sta tion here, but could not be acted upon because no provision had been made for enlisting them as a class. Now au thority has been given, however, and skilled workers of all kinds are desired. To qualify for submarine chasing service, a man must be unusually well fitted. He must be already an ex pert, such as an electrician, a machinist, or the like. The recruiting campaign to fill the ranks of the Third Oregon to full war strength and to recruit the new Battery B in the National Guard continues actively. Sergeant Robert DeV. Morse, of Company C, and Sergeant J. A. Ban nister, of Company F, Third Oregon, are in Portland on special recruiting duty for their regiment, and are get ting many recruits. Both young men are earnest workers and they make a fine impression on prospective recruits. The Thrd Oregon is only 50 men short of full war strength. Colonel John L. May is anx ious to obtain every man as a volunteer. so it will not be necessary to resort ..to the draft for one man. FOUR CAMPS INSTALL INTERESTING PROGRAMME IS HELD BY WOODMEN LODGE.

Mrs. Estelle Hamsley, "spirit bride" of Elwood V. Matlack, St. Louis capitalist. Is peeved, today because her soulmate's mundane wife here knocked her "noble sacrificing plans into a cocked hat." Mrs. Hamsley tried again today to see Mrs: Matlack to effect a recon ciliation between her and her husband, but all she could get was this from a servant: - "Tell Spookey Estelle I don't want to have anything to do with her." Mrs. Hamsley announced she stood ready to give him up and let him re turn to his wife and child If she would promise toke him and love and cher ish him. "I was willing to let our pure love die for the sake of his wife and. child, but I was spurned. I believe now that Mrs. Matlack does not want her hus band back. "I shall make no further effort to see her until she shows a disposition to see me. I believe there will be a divorce and then " Mrs. Hamsley would not say defi nitely today what would happen after-j that, but she left the lnlerence mat she and her soulmate would be married according to the conventions.

The "soulmates" ate breakfast to gether again this morning, surrounded by newspapermen, at the Warwick Ho tel. Matlack had nothing to say except to reiterate that the "public was preju diced because it didn't understand the heights to which our souls had ascended and the soul love between us. I won't talk." Mrs. Hamsley said she can hardly accept her happiness with Matlack at the expense of Mrs. Matlack. and that Is why she has offered three times to effect a reconciliation between the couDle. Mrs. Matlack met her husband, whom she has sued for divorce, at a trust company today for a long conference. Later she explained that it was to ar range financial affairs. Mrs.. Hamsley remained in her room at the hotel. Mrs. Matlack was asked if she had discussed the matter of reconciliation with her husband. Oh, my, no, she said. I do not want damaged goods." CONTRACT' DELAY IRKS ENGINEER ADVISES CITY TO DO SOMETHING ON GRADING WORK. Commissioner Barbur Informed That Company Has Failed to Handle Undertaking; Satisfactorily. Serious difficulties now have ap peared in connection with the contract held by the Pearsoa Construction Com pany for the big grade crossing elim ination project along the line of the O.-W. R. & N. on the East Side. George S. Edmondstone, engineer In charge of the work for the city, report' ed yesterday to City Commissioner Bar bur that the company is far behind In its work and he recommends that the city demand that the contractor at once assemble men and equipment to do the work properly or that some other course be followed to get the work done within contract time. Trouble has been brewing over the project for some time, having orig inated. It is said, over the failure of the company to get its orders placed before the recent advances In prices. Claims have been made, it is said, for extras, which Mr. Edmonstone thinks should n rtf Via allowed. The project has been started! and the streets are now barricaded. For the city to have to take over the work would In volve a large cost over the contract price. The contractor, it is said, stands to lose heavily by the contract if he goes ahead with the work. In his letter to Mr. Barbur Mr. Ed raoudstone says the Pearson Construc tion Company has at no time prosecuted its work in an "efficient, workman like and acceptable manner."

Pershing, com mander of the American forces, visited the largest ammunition plant In the Paris district today. He was shown about by Albert Thomas, Minister of Munitions. It is announced that the American Red Cross will take over all French in firmaries relief stations between its bases and the portion of the front where the American troops will- be placed, supplanting the French, who will take up other duties elsewhere. The American troops In France. It is made known in a partial report of Investigation made by American offi cers, will discard the well-known poncho while In service In France and will adopt the Frencn cavalry sucaer in a modified form as best adapted to trench fighting. The troops also will be equipped with sleeveless canvas ierkins lined with wool, as sleeping bags and witn numerous otner aevices that have proved efficacious against the Intense cold of Winter. The familiar puttee will disappear In favor of the cloth leggings such as were used by the expeditionary force in Mexico.
