25,000 TROOPS PUSS BEFORE GEH.GREEi Row of Khaki Stretches; Two Miles as Soldiers Pass in; Review at Camp Lewis. ANOTHER I. W. W. CAUGHT I Athletic Board Announces Plans for Big Kleld and Grandstand to Seat 20,000 Turkey Feast Will Be Provided. CAMP LEWIS, Taeoma,. "Wash.. Nov. 20. Marching in platoons, more than 23,000 soldiers grave to the Northwest at Camp Lewis today the greatest mar tial demonstration in its history and brought home to the thousands of sol diers not in line and the additional thousands of civilians who witnessed the event, the magnitude of the prep arations for war being made by the 91st Division. It was exactly 2 P. M. when Brigadier-General James A. Irons, in com mand of the review, wheeled his horse, after passing before Major-General Greene, and took his stand beside his commanding General to watch the long lines file by. It was almost 4 P. -M. when the last platoon had passed, and, had the march been In order of squads, as commonly seen in street parades, the sun would have risen and set on the men passing a given point. ' Drawn up at the far side of the plain between the two arms of the canton ment, the men presented a never-to-be-forgotten spectacle, the row of khaki stretching for two miles to right and left. Spectacle Inspires Thousand. Thousand by thousand the division passed, and, though without arms, the seemingly unending stream of men, the stirring, palpatating rythm of the regimental bands and the silent, un moving body of commanding officers that watched them pass gave an air of solemnity and purpose that struck deep Into the hearts of every onlooker. "There is still much to be desired," said Major-General Greene, following the review, "but everything considered, and realizing that the men marched without arms, it was very satisfac tory." Kvidenc eof pro-German activity car ried to the extent of spreading discon tent among the soldiers and of making suggestions that they ca nturn on their own oflcers in France rather than shoot Germans, is claimed to be in their hands by the military police against another alleged agitator arrested in one of the Hurley-Mason bunkhouses at Camp Lewis. The last man arrested Is being held for further Investigation; and his name is withheld In the mean time. While Thanksgiving day and Chrlst ,mas will be holidays for men at Camp Lewis, no leaves or furloughs will be granted except under urgent and ex ceptional circumstances. Each company will be furnished with turkey and "trimmings." Athletic Field to Be Built. The Camp Lewis board on athletics last night made arrangements for a complete athletic field directly in front of the administration building at the cantonment. Construction of a grand stand to seat 20,000 will start at once. The rodeo held under the auspices of the 34Sth Field Artillery netted more than $7000. The sum of $500 was given to the band and 84 to each of the batteries. The remaining $1200 goes Into the regimental fund, permitting all bills to be paid and a sinking fund started. J. Uunn. National Army man, was returned to Camp Lewis yesterday by officers of North Yakima. Uunn left an eastbound troop train and started to walk 25 miles to see his mother. He will have a special examination before the psychiatric commission. Physical examinations of National Army men at Camp Lewis have been completed and the rejections aggregate slightly more than 5200, or a little in excess of 11 per cent of the men ex amined. There are about 150 persons in the S61st Regiment of Infantry at Camp Lewis who are of foreign birth and speak English poorly. Consequently the military authorities have arranged a special class for their education. Captain T. G. Cook, camp athletic di rector of Camp Lewis, announced to night that the 91st Division football team will play the Chemawa Indian School, of Chemawa, Or., next Saturday, either on the camp grounds or at Port land. Eight thousand men drafted from the Western Department, many of them from California, have been transferred to other cantonments from Camp Lewis. Official release of the information was made today from the office of Major General II. A. Greene. The destination of the troops was not made public. It is admitted that they may see service before their comrades left in the 91st Division. The arrival of the 14th and 44th In fantry a day or so ago makes the total number of men in camp approximately 40.000, still keeping Camp Lewis as the most populous of American canton ments.

They came by rail across Siberia, to Harbin, nd thence by steamer to Seattle. They rrived here Monday and think so well Portland that they are groins to make their home here, at least until the war is over. Professor Cherniavsky is a celebrated musician, as are several of his brothers. the fcreat musical trio, Leo, Jan and Michell Cherniavsky being brothers of his. Many of the readers of The Ore Ionian will remember that these gen tlemen, who play the violin, cello and iano, have griven several very suc cessful concerts in this city. Professor Gregor has taught many famous pupils, among: them being: the wonderful Mischa Elman, who has also appeared in this city. AVounds Cilve Soldier Releaae. Early in the present war Professor Cherniavsky embraced the colors and ecame a member of the 120th Infantry. He was from time to time advanced ntil he reached the rank of Lieutenant. After serving: 18 months he was wounded at a battle on the Lemberg front, in Galicia. and spent a long time in the hospital. He was finally dis charged from the hospital and re leased from the colors and took up his residence in Petrograd, where he resided until he started for America, a country which he speaks of with the greatest pride as the real land of freedom. He had a difficult time in getting permission to leave Russia. It was only by bringing every pressure upon the officials that he could command that he and his little family got their pass ports. He says it Is almost impossible under the present conditions, at least that Is his best Information, to obtain passports. He considers that he was very fortunate to get away while Kerensky was still In power. Siberian Journey Terrible. I asked the professor what he thought of the future of Russia and he replied very feelingly that these were sad days in his dear fatherland and that no man could foresee the outcome. He spoke of Kerensky as a splendid man, honest, able and true, a man who did not seek power, but had it thrust upon him, and he fears that his PERSONAL MENTION. A. H.

AVe were 20 days and 20 nights on the train. We had seats only a part of the time, and as for sleeping there were no accommodations open to us, every available space worth while being taken up by the troops. It was diffi cult to get enough to eat and many times we had to go hungry for many long hours. My wife and little chil dren stood It bravely, I fear much more bravely than I did. But I can assure you I had rather face an enemy on the battle field than to take that trip again." The professor tells of an "Interview" he had on the front in Galicia. The ad vanced troops were in places not more than 50 yards apart, so close that he recognized one of the Austrian soldiers as his old friend Fritz Kreisler, the celebrated violinist, and they had quite a chat at that long range, megaphpn- Lads Knoir Freedom's Emblem.

They can speak only a few words in English, "good-bye" and "good morning' being about the extent of their Lnglish vocabulary, but the little fellows know the American flag, for as we were coming up the elevator In The Orego nian building they spied a tiny flag in the elevator and. Jumping up and down in delight, they spoke voluably and joyously some words in their native tongue. Their mother remarked that they already seemed to know that It is an emblem to be proud of. Professor Cherniavsky wears upon his watch chain with great pride a splendid gold medal given to him by Grand Duke Nicolaus for bravery on the field of battle. He regrets greatly that he was compelled to quit the service, but on the other hand he says that many, many lives and much treasure will be sacrificed before Russia finds for her self a place In the sun with peace hovering over the nation, and his serv Ices or even his life would have made no difference In the outcome. "But I love Russia, my dear native land," he remarked, "and if my life could do the cause any good I would willingly give it-" meeting of the Bar Association.
