HQQ IS STIRRED SECRETARY OF TREASURY SNAPPED IN THE MIDST OF HIS VARIOUS ACTIVITIES HERE YESTERDAY MAKE YOUR PYRALINE SELECTIONS NOW, WHILE ASSORTMENTS ARE COMPLETE Well Set Aside Any Desired Items Until Wanted BY SPIRIT OF WEST WAfW Jjwsim 4 y s y ' Addresses on Patriotism Thrill Hearers- Confidence in Oregon Is Felt. mm, in i PRUSSIAN INSOLENCE TOLD Outrage Vpon Humanity and Civil. - Jzatlou by Insolent Autocracy, Iong-PeIayed prcak and Ill 's ftc- evltable War Recounted. Stirred by the spirit of the "West, and with added courage in his cam paign for the second liberty . loan, "William Cibbs WcAdoo left Portland yesterday afternoon after a busy nine hours, expressing: confidence that Ore gon will do its full part. "I have been tremendously cheered by my visit here," he said. "The en thusiasm I have met everywhere on the trip has impressed me. I am certain Oregon is to do its whole duty in sub scribing to the liberty loan." Three Addresses Delivered. His visit ended a day crammed with three addresses and a. luncheon. H e laid the cornerstone at the new Post office at 10 o'clock. Thence he went to the City Hall, where he spoke to state bankers on the significance of the liberty loan. He went next to the Auditorium, where he spoke from 12:15 to 1:30 to a large audience. He was taken to the Arlington Club, where he was a guest of the reception commit tee at luncheon. There he expressed, briefly, his appreciation for the cour tesies shown him here. He took time to be whisked away to the home of J. X. Teal, where he called for a mo ment on his way to the train. He left In his private car, Newport, on the Shasta at 3:50 P. M. Enthusiasm Is Aroused Husky of voice from his 10 days oT epeechmaking, Secretary McAdoo aroused enthusiasm at the Auditorium meeting. He told of the outrage and contumely heaped upon America by the Insolence of Prussianism, of the resent ment and the long-delayed break with Germany and the inevitable war. He pleaded for. bond sales so that the blows to be rained upon autocracy unay be swift, heavy and effective. Secretary McAdoo reached a high point in his address when he spoke of his three sons, now in the .Navy, -who bad been referred to by Mayor Baker in his introduction. "I would not give the life of one of them for the whole German empire," he said, "but If the lives of all three sire needed and shall be taken. I'll bow to the will of God. I know that every father and mother of Americans would lo the same and that is what makes .America great." i President Likened to Lincoln. Applause and cheers stayed the progress of his tal' then and again, when he likened President "Wilson in his calmness and restraint at long provoked insult by the Kaiser to Lincoln, cheers swept the Auditorium for a full half-minute. "Thank God there is again in the "White House a man of Lincoln's cour age," he said. "He is strong also as the great Lincoln in his inflexible purpose to rid the world of one of the two conflicting interests that cannot endure together. And the conflict will go on until democracy is triumphant. "When we shall have accomplished all these things, the world will say that noble America came out into the black ness of night and rescued civilization." The meeting opened and closed with the singing of 'The Star-Spangled Banner." l5r. E. H. Pence made the invocation, impressive and suited to the occasion. Dr. Pence's Prayer. "We are standing here in subdued spirit because but yesterday we bade our boys good-bye," he prayed. "We know the sacrifice they shall make will not be made in vain. Ours, too, must be the sacrifice. When our boys are to ive their blood and their lives, we pray that we will not be found lagging behind. We ask that the task of this jnan of God who has come to talk to ns be made easy. Give power to his mind, to his body and to all his func tions so that the Secretary of the Treasury may be like a prophet of old, come down to speak to us." "Who owns the high seas of the world?" asked Secretary McAdoo. "The German Kaiser? Why, he cannot even nail a battleship upon them.

We established our right to- the seas by former wars. and we do not intend to surrender our rights to any tyrant. Principle One of Civilisation. "Every civilized nation, until this war broke out, recognized and ob served the principle that a merchant vessel containing non-combatants, par ticularly a passenger vessel containing non-combatant men, women and chil dren, should never be sunk , unless all the lives of the passengers, as well as of the crew, should first be made safe. "American citizens, since the out break of this war. have been murdered repeatedly on the high seas. Germany repeatedly has been called to account and repeatedly has assured this Gov ernment Fhe would desist, and Just as repeatedly she has violated that prom ise and has proceeded to kill other American citizens upon the high seas. Kaiser Issues Orders. 1 "That of itself was enough to have driven any self-respecting nation into war. But finally we wore ordered by the Kaiser of Germany, sitting In his palace in Berlin, to take our ships off a part of the high seas. He said: "You must not send American ships and American citizens must not travel any where In the 500 miles of water sur rounding Great Britain, France and Italy. If you do, we shall sink your ships on sight, we shall kill . your peo I pie without warning.' "If we had submitted to that order the German Emperor would have been able to accomplish by the stroke of a pen what all the might of the German armies and navies could not have achieved. If we had submitted to it. what would have been the next step?' It might have suited his purpose to order ua off the entire Atlantic Ocean and say: 'Confine yourself to the three-mile limit around America." Mexican Intrlnues Recalled. Secretary McAdoo told of the at tempted' Intrigues with Mexico and the proposed division of the United States by giving four states to the Mexicans. "I'd like to see any foreign despot that can reach out and tear four stars from our flng," he said. Secretary McAdoo declared the United States must support its fighting forces with its money. "What is the least we can do for them?" he asked "The least you can do is to give them the means of defending themseles so that when they meet a German soldier in the deadly grapple of war. when the battle is rasing and life is hanging in the" balance, every brave boy at that front will know that in his hands, put there by American love and American skill, is a weapon, the best that can be devised, that will give him a possible superiority over hi foe so that he may strike sufficiently well to save his own life and be able to strike again for America and for liberty. Sea Route lie Made Safe. "I want them to know, too, that the line of communication between them and home will be protected. It is three thousand miles wide, imperiled by the deadly submarine and the tempests and storms of the waters. I waoit them to know that you women of America, and you men of America are going to put back of them the entire resources of this country; that if need be, we will surrender every dollar of property we have got to the Government. We must be just as willing to sacrifice all our money for them as we know they are willing to sacrifice their lives for us. "And what does the Government of fer? A superlatively safe and desir able investment the greatest ever of fered to any peopie. There is nothing so good as a Government bond; there is nothing so near cash as a Govern ment bond; there is nothing the princi pal of which is so absolutely safe as a Government .bond; there is nothing which is so available as collateral in a, bank as t Government bond; and there is nothing upon which your in terest will be paid so certainly as upon a Government bond. FIaar Is Humanity's Hope, 'While you are buying that bond, which is the best Investment in the world for yourselves, you are helping this splendid cause; you are helping every soldier and Bailor who wears the uniform of his country, and you are helping, moreover, to keep the flag of America, the Stars and Stripes, in the skies. Never shall it be trailed in the dust while there is a drop of blood in the veins of an American freeman! We want it always on high as a hope for humanity ; we want it to be maintained there in order that the rights of our people at home may always have pro- taction, that democracy here may be 1 Kb Route to City Hall for Bankers Conference.

Nation May "Well Be Proud. "If we can bring a glimpse of Its glory to those people in Kurope who have suffered the tortures of the night for these three long, black years; if we can imbue litem with the splendid ideals for which it stands; if we can make them enjoy once more the in estimable blessings of peace and re store to their stricken hearts the joy of knowing that the light which shone in the east when Christ came upon the earth has been restored again in all of its effulgence and beauty, we shall have done something of which we as a Nation may feel proud, and we can then- transmit to posterity unimpaired that beautiful thing which our ances tors gave to us a free country and a democratic government." Secretary McAdoo spoke of his plan for Government insurance for soldiers and sailors, now a ld.w, that has been a pet measure of his. He drew the bill and watched its progress in Congress. He said President Wilson took more satisfaction in signing that measure than almost any other. Postefflce Cornerstone Laid. Secretary McAdoo was escorted from his car at the Union Depot to the new postoffice building and later to the City Hall and Auditorium by a detail of troops from the Fourteenth Infan try at Vancouver Barracks and the regiment band. At the conclusion of the meeting Mayor Baker thanked the soldiers for their escort and called for three cheers ' for President Wilson, which were given heartily as a fitting finale for the gathering. Secretary McAdoo laid the corner stone of the new $1,000,000 six-story postoffice at 10 o'clock. He was intro duced by Postmaster Myers. He ex tended congratulations that Portland was recognized at Washington as be ing entitled to so fine a building. He said it will be one of the best Federal structures in the United States. Open-4tr Speech In Park Blocks. He spoke also of the importance of the liberty loan and urged that all Americans do their full duty in the present crisis. He spoke from a plat form draped with flags, erected in the park blocks at Eighth and Flanders streets. Hundreds heard and applaud ed the speech. Louis P. Hobart, of San Francisco, the builder's architect, was present and a telegram of congratula tion from Postmaster-General Burleson was read by Postmaster Myers. Dr. Carey T.
