O'Hara, pastor of the Cathedral or tne Immaculate Con ception, who returned to Portland last week after serving as chaplain for the 314th Regiment, and yesterday after noon was given a public reception by the Portland Knights of Columbus at the Lincoln High School. J!abbi Jonah B. Wise, for many years personal friend of Father O'Hara. gave the address of welcome. J. C. English, representing the Knights of Columbus, introduced Father O'Hara. More than 2000 men, women and children, filling the high school auditorium to capacity. rose to their feet, cheering: as they greeted the returned chaplain. American Bravery Told. "American soldiers faced death with the fortitude and bravery of men who knew the principles for which thay were fighting, and thought the sacri fice worth while." said Father O'Hara. "I was chaplain of the 314th Regiment during the Argonne ooils offensive, and on the eve of the campaign' I heard confession of ."!0 boys, who stood wait Ing In the rain until late hours of the night Waiting for their chance to icome Into tne little tent in whiuh ij altar was erected on a grocery box. "The next morning they went for ward to take Hill 304. the most diffi cult of the whole front, and against whom the Boche had placed his crack regiments. "Hill 304. or Dead Man's HilL resem bles Council Crest, with the exception that Its sides are covered with clumps nf trees and treat boulders in which machine-gun nests were hidden by the Germans. Supplying Men Huge Task, Imagine the American boys going out against Hill 304 as their first ob jective the hill about which more than half a million t rencn ana uerman sol diers were at that time sleeping, tor in former battles for its supremacy neither side had been able to advance. The boys went forward. Then came the great work of getting supplies to the men in the first trenches I should not use the word trench, because by this time that method of fighting was obsolete, a group of men running for ward and quickly digging with their trench spades a slight protection. "The terrain over which we had ad vanced was a series of shell pockets ranging In depth from 3 to 10 feet and over which our trucks bearing food supplies and our ambulances had to pass to reach the first lines. Advisee to Lines Slow. "Engineers worked 24 hours bringing in sandbags. My work during this time was to help In the mobile hos pitals. On the night of the second day I was with a group of 20 ambulances, which consumed seven and one-half hours covering the few hundred yards between the first lines and the ho? pita Is. During that time the gas alert had been, sounded and we not had to place on our ow-n masks, but those of the wounded. "They say over there that in a gas raid there are two classes of men the quick and the dead. Men who drove those ambulances and supply trucks showed the highest type of courage, and under fire they continued their way. though just before them they saw trucks blown to atoms. "In the mobile hospital r.iy work r s aiding in loth spiritual and temporal matters. boy with both hand" off or suffering from other wounds would appeal for a cigarette. This we would light and place between his lips. Ihe boys show great fortitude making: light of their wounds. Roya Hopeful to Last. I have heard boys who lnt their legs offering to run races. They are concerned only with the grief of their neighbors. I have taken as many as 25 letters in a day from the boys and have passed the night writing hopeful messages to their parents. No soldier is taken to the mobile hospital unless he is too seriously Injured to be eent to the base or first-aid hospital, where the majority of men are treated. Many have asked me if I thought the great sacrifice worth while at this cost. I believe it was not. too great. The removal of the Prussian autocracy and of irresponsible leaders capable of turning the minds of a nation from peace to dreams of war had to come. We have reaped blessings out of the conflict. "America has been called the melting pot of the world, and while we have assembled peoples of all nations the vessel has never been a melting pot un til the fire of this war fu.ed the prin ciples of the Nation into one. The blood that has been shed on the battle fields of Europe Is the cement which will bind this Nation in common and raise it aLove the material things for which we have been thought to stand. "The American Army made possible the winning of the war; let there be no misunderstanding about that issue. Two million American soldiers flung on to the allied battle field resulted n the hastened armistice, but Amer- ca helped to win the war in other ys. It gave munitions and equip ment to France. It threw in Ameri can soldiers when tne irencn reserve was low. allowing Foch to marshal li is forces for the greatest of all drives. nd boosted the allied moral. Complete Vlrtory I Goal. After the Chateau Thierry drive. courage of the allies rose ana they said: 'The time of peace has come. In actual fighting, such as in the Ar gonne woods, the Americans helped to win the war. The American Army is worthy of the greatest homage that the American people can pay to it Reconstruction was the theme of the address delivered by Rabbi Wise. "Greek legends tell us that Cadmus sowed the teeth of the dragon and reaped armed men." said Rabbi Wise. "I believe we are prepared to do dif ferently; to sew in tears, to feed the hungry and to clothe the naked, not in the spirit of the barbarian but in the spirit of happiness. "America entered Into the war, not In the first youth of enthusiasm but knowing that it was a real hell upon earth. It entered into the war delib erately and with the calmness of mid dle age. Our Nation has shown great courage: therefore It Is fitting that we demand a settlement not by might but by Justice. Smoker to Hoaor Chaplain. "Treaties before have been written In blood, sealed by sword and stamped by the cannon, but they have been but scraps of paper. Shall America choose today to write its conclusions not in this manner but by materials growing out of the hearts of man. with the blood of martyrs and the love of one human being for another. BUY FUTURE CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS NOW! You doubtless understand that prices will not always be on a war-footing. There will come a time when real butter and fresh eggs will be priced so that everyone can afford them. There will come a day, too, when the prices of all commodities will be satisfyingly lowered but that day is not yet here. Quite likely Fall, 1919, may see the change in effect. Prices for Spring, 1919, however, are sure to be higher buying NOW-rmeans saving money.

"It is not the boy who comes back to a home and a re ligion, but the unattached youth, who needs the greatest welcome we can pive him. To cover this period of ad justment, we will be called upon for the best of Christ's teachings."

Confessedly in the employ of a secret agent of the German government in Rotterdam, to whom he tried to forward information about the departure of American troop ships, according to the Federal authori ties, Peter Zwaay, alias Johannes Leon idas Titus Van Haren, a young Hol lander, was arrested and committed to the Tombs prison here yesterday in default of .5000 bail to await grand jury action. Zwaay had been working in a New ark shipyard under the name of Van Haren. He came to the United States last July as a member of the crew of a Belgian relief ship.

JOHN MASON, HCTflB, DIES BREAKDOWN IN PROVIDENCE RESULTS FATALLY. MANY YANKS' CAN'T READ Extent of Illiteracy in America Nearly Unbelievable. Thomas F. Logan, in . Leslie's. The war revealed an extent of Hitter acy in America almost unbelievable. Secretary of the Interior Lane pointed out that there are 700.000 men of draf ago in the United States who cannot read or write in Knglish or in any other language. There anp -5,500,000 persons over 10 years of age who can not read or write in any language. The regular Army never enlisted illiterates, but the draft act brought into the Army approximately 3a,000 illiterates and as many more who were almost illiterate. These soidicrs could not sign their names. Thoy could not read the manual of arms. They could not read their let tcrs or write home. They could not read their daily orders posted on bul letin boards in camp. They could not understand signals in time of battle Tho economic loss through illiteracy is estimated at $85,000,000 a year, on the conservative assumption that the pro ductive labor value of an illiterate is ess by only 50 cents a day than that of an educated person.- I en per cent of our country folk cannot read or write a word. In view of these facts, Secre tary Lane urges an appropriation for a systematic campaign to eradicate adult illiteracy. J. C. English, who introduced Father USE.

John Mason, one of the best-known actors on the American stage, died in a sani tarium here today. The cause of death was given , as Bright's disease, with complications. Mr. Mason came here five days ago from Providence. R. I., where he had suffered a breakdown while giving the praviiere of a new melodrama, "The the Sahartt, lime. Marie Augustine Le baudy's condition was such today that it appeared doubtful that she would be taken to the County Jail at Mineola be fore tomorrow. Her 15-year-old daughter, Jacque line, who telephoned to her mother's attorney that "mamma has just shot papa," is also near collapse and appar ently has told the authorities little as yet. The servants in and around the house are French, and they all say that they did not witness the ehooting. The clearest story thus far gathered by District Attorney Weeks in his pre liminary investigation is, that of the trained nurse. Miss Minnie Wieder, who was ia attendance upon Madame Le- Dauay, wno has oeen sufteiing from a severe attack of bronchitis for several days. The front door was locked and Le baudy entered the house from tlfo rear, passed through the kitchen and other rooms and cume out in the spacious hall or foyer in the front of the lodge. The nurse heard him making a great disturbance in the hall and after a few minutes, she says, Mrs. Lebaudy arose, and slipping on a dressing gown, went down the stairs. The District Attorney would not say today if the nurse told whether Le baudy attacked hi3 wife, as he had done on previous occasions, which it was at first reported he had done. The daughter, it appears, was in her room on the second floor at the moment of tho shooting. The nurse says she did not venture downstairs until after ward, while the French maid, Frances, who was in the rear of the house, says she remained there. The gardener, who also is French, lias stated that he was at no time in the house. When Jacqueline did learn what had happened she immediately telephoned to her mother's lawyer, Marry W. Moore, at his home in lios lyn. "Come to the house, quick." she said, "mamma has just ehot papa." Lebaudy. it is thought, may have I meant serious michief when he went out to Weetbuiy, for In his overcoat pocket the police found a loaded revol ver. There was also a curious collec tion of other articles in the black trav eling bag which he carried, typical of Lebaudy'a eccentricities. uso on auto trucks, particularly where trailers are operated on hilly roads. Wido publicity was given his ail brake invention a few yours ago which was ta'ken up by tho two leading ail brake concerns of the country anil re sulted in the present legal disputes.
