As you leave us to go out into active duty, no matter where you shall be called, I am cer tain you will measure to the full of what your friends and the country ex pect of you. You will have the oppor tunity, perhaps, of performing active service on the field of battle, and of participating in a world-wide move for real liberty and democracy. Wherever you go, remember we are thinking of you and wishing you well. You will leave sad hearts behind, but you are going In a righteous cause, and we at home will try to -io our part, and shall hope for your safe return."

Then Mayor Dumble called for 4Uiet and introduced the noted evange list. Fired by the words of Billy Sun day, the ruling emotion of sadness gave way to one of pride and the Columbia Gorge echoed with the volume of the thousands of cheering voices. Soldiers Arouse Pride. "Such a sight as this," cried the noted preacher in voice that reached the farthest edges of the big crowd and hushed even the whisper of those utter ing farewells, "makes me glad that ! am an American, and I can well say that we are with you, Woodrow Wilson and to hell with the kaiser. And O! proud we are of you boys today, for you are ready to do your part in crush ing the Prussian autocracy that threat ens the worl.d You are going to fight, my boys, and if you cross the sea, for some of you this may be your last glimpse of these fir-clad hills of Ore gon, and old Mount Hood may be wav ing her farewell kiss. But not one of these mothers, not one of these fathers, not one of these little children, even though they may not now be big enough to understand, but will be glad and proud, for they know that you are fighting for that Flag. The Stars and Stripes have been in many a fix since 1776 but never yet have they trailed the ground. Slackers Not Wanted. "Pour a ray of sunshine into a rat hole, and It is no longer a fit home for rats. The rats have to move or reform Your action, boys, has been the ray of sunshine that makes the Hood River Valley no longer a fit place for pro Germans or slackers." An incoming train whistled, some one gave a command, and as Mr. Sun day stepped down from his improvised rostrum overlooking the crowds, he cried, "God speed, boys, and may the Lord bles you." Entraining was but a matter of a minute, tid as the locomotive puffed and the cars, each window and vestl buled door framing from two to three of the 80 representative Hood River Valley boys, drew away, with Bishop Paddock, of the Eastern Oregon diocese of the Episcopal Church, and Major F.
