Military Problems Pat I'p to Class at University Speedily Grow Into Alarming: Proportions a Details Circulate. Lieutenant-Colonel John Leadery of the British army, for three years at the front ih France as commander of the Royal Irish Rifles, now. military In structor at the University of Oregon, said at a luncneon of the Portland Realty Board In the Benton Hotel yes terday that, while his remarks recently about the likelihood of a Oerman inva sion had perhaps been taken too seri ously, the feat, nevertheless, is unques tionably a military possibility.. I really was not trying to get up a war scare." said Colonel Leader. "What I said about the possibility of an Inva sion of Oregon and Washington by Germans from Mexico and South Amer- ra was presented to my class at the University of Oregon aa a military problem. "I gava them the problem ot repelling an invading force or 40.000 trained German soldiers, who had landed. Later, some venturesome fellow raised my figures to 100.000. Then it became ZnO.OoO, next it was 600,000. and then I read that I had predicted we would be invaded by 750,000 German soldiers." Probleaa Perfeetly Feasible. But Colonel Leader made It very plain that while he was not predicting an invasion of the Pacific Coast by any 750.000 Germans, it was a perfectly feasible problem from a military point of view for the Germans to land 40,000, or even more, men here from Mexico and South America. He said there were In Mexico at the outbreak of the war at least 70,000 Ger mans; that the number had certainly Increased since, and that it was safe to reckon that the number of Germans In South America who had been trained as soldiers In the German army was not far short of 1.000,000. "Of course, you ask. how could they be transported?" said Colonel Leader. He explained that this Is not nearly as serious a problem as most persons seem to think. Transportation field Possible. To transport 40.000 men, said Colonel Leader, would require only 30,000 to Myrtle Llnd.

Colonel Leader made a really re markable address before the Realty Board. He spoke as a plain soldier who had been through the mill and had a story to tell about it. And it was a story of the most intense human interest. Running throughout it was a thread of the Jieenest humor, and also a sometning mat stopped just snort of tears. Most people want to know," said Colonel Leader once, "how it feels the first time you come under fire. The first time our regiment came under heavy fire was at 2 o'clock one night in a wood about 1200 yards from the front. I was awakened by a terrible crash ing of sheila and I knew Immediately what was happening. I hurriedly Jumped Into my boots and rushed out side. Well, there was a little confu sion for a time, but the moment they heard the old familiar curses of their Colonel, there wasn't any more trouble or disorder, though some of our men had been badly wounded by the she I! fire. Colonel Leader Cheered, "Later. I asked our adjutant how he felt when the firing began. Well." he replied, "when I first heard it, it gave me a feeling that I wanted to pull the covers up over my head. Colonel Leader s talk made a deep im pression.
