'Continued From First PM Admiral McKean. who said that alml lar projecta wtrl being talked of in many harbora throughout the country, but Portland already possessed one of the finest municipal terminals that he had viewed. Improvement of rivers on the Pacific coast is essential to bring down the coat of living, according to Secretary Daniels, wno aaid that when handling bulky freight, it waa nothing less than a crime to utilise railroads tr water ways are available. The handling of freight by railroad transportation, he contended, was so much more than Dy waterways, that priority should always be given to the waterways. President Corbett Give Welcome, John Dougall. acting chairman of the Members' Forum of the Chamber of Commerce, expressed regret for the business men who had been unable to make reservations for the luncheon to the visiting naval officials, and intro duced H. Corbett. president of the chamber. President Corbett spoke briefly, re ferring to the satisfaction derived in welcoming the secretary and party, heightened by the return to the waters of Oregon of the battleship bearing the name of the state. He averred that no welcome to Oregon would be complete without an official greeting on behalf of Portland, and delegated that privi lege to the mayor. "This is the first time that we have had an opportunity to say a word of our appreciation for the wonderful work of the American navy," said Mayor Baker. "With the problem of getting the men over through the sub marine menace there was fear of what might happen. But, Mr. Secretary, you may well be proud of the record of hav ing taken two and a quarter million eoldiers across. Some one has aaid that the navy fought no battles. 1 guess that the man who said that for got that the marines are included In the naval forces, and that it was the marines who won the battle at Chateau Thierry. (Applause.) Oregon' Return Interest. "Mr. Secretary, we have been pleased to bear that the dear old Oregon is to remain a part of this state, and it is with great satisfaction that we heard it was to come back to the river with the fleet. We pay our respects to you, Air. Secretary, and to the men of tha American navy, and cordially welcome you to Portland and to Oregon." President Corbett called upon Repre rentative McArthur to Introduce Sec retary Daniels. Two years ago the Helm commission was appointed to study the coast of the United States and make recom mendation as to the location of bases for the navy," said Mr. McArthur. "Be tween Mare Island and Bremerton is a stretch of more than 700 miles of un protected coast line, and the commis sion has recommended that a supply station and naval base be established at the mouth of the Columbia. 1 Secretary" Derision leaded. "Now the secretary has brought with him Admiral Parks, chief of the bureau of yards and docks; Admiral McKean. chief of operation, and Commander Hilton, chief of the bureau of supplies and accounts, the officers in charge of ibis branch of the development of the naval establishment on the Pacific coast. I want to take this opportunity of paying my respects to the secretary, with whom I have worked closely dur ing two years of the war. During that period there was never a division of the committee on partisan lines. (Ap plause ) The secretary of the navy has t. comprehensive knowledge of the magnitude and dignity of this country. He has shown this by placing half of the United States navy in Pacific waters. (Applause.) "We have here plans for a large turn ing basin and we want a 35-foot chan nel from Portland to the sea. We want the secretary to recommend to congress that the necessary appropriations for these accomplishments be made. Gen tlemen, it is a great pleasure, to me to Introduce to you Secretary Daniels." "Navy's Part la War Important. "First. I want to express my appre ciation of the reception you have given the officers and men of the navy." said Secretary Daniels, who was greeted with a tribute of respect as the 600 rep resentative men of Oregon rose to their feet upon his Introduction. "We have come to see and have come to stay. We have tasted of your hos pitality and It has gratified us, for you may expect to see the men of the navy here tomorrow, next week, next month and all the time. The navy is at home in the Pacific just aa it ia in the At lantic The ships of the American navy will be coming and going between the two oceans through the Panama canal all the time. "I want to express my appreciation of the welcome of Mr. McArthur to his borne and I want to bear testimony to hla neighbors of the splendid service he has rendered to bis country on the naval affairs committee. When that committee made a most searching in vestigation of naval conditions and needs, and made its unanimous report to congress, ending with the words, 'Sirs, all is well with the American navy.' the people of the country were satisfied that it would live up to its splendid traditions. "When I vl-lted France. England and Italy, as It was my pleasure to do. I found that our allies considered the part of the American navy in winning the war waa very, important. From the moment we entered the war to the present the conduct of the navy has been such as to merit the encomiums of Mr. McArthur" Army and .nvy ia Harmony. Recounting a visit by Fresident Wil son to the fleet when it was assembled In York river, in 1917. Mr. Daniels de clared that an address made by the ex ecutive to the officers was one of the important occurrences in the unwritten history of the war. The president, he said, told the officers that it might be found that new methods of naval war fare would be essential to winning the war. and that the submarines were like a lot of hornets turned loose; that it was necessary either to close the hornets' nest or continue to destroy the hornets one at a time. The secre tary recounted that It waa the Ameri can navy that proposed to the allies the neat ion of a barrage that would pre vent the aubmarinea getting out, and the plan waa finally carried into ex ecution by the American navy, with the result that the morale of Germany waa destroyed. "The army and navy worked to gether r.s one throughout the war," the secretary continued. "There was never any conflict or disagreement between tha two branches oX La rvlc.

"The American soldier got across be cause the American navy was on the ob every day and every night. Yankee got a new meaning in this war. mere was a time when a South Carolinan did not like to be called a Yankee. But this war welded the whole American nation and men from the south became proud to be called Yankees, and men from the north went into battle to the tune of 'Dixie.' Yesterday I stood at the mouth of the Columbia river and I tried to imag ine myself standing there with the men of the American army who. led Dy Lewls and Clark, came to open the front door of America to the world. We have and we shall preserve a strong navy. (Applause.) You will soon have 185 ships in the Pacific to serve as guardians of our coast, as symbols of power, as the police of commerce, to preserve the peace of the world. Lratne Covennnt Upheld. I am surprised at the lack of vision some men that they cannot recog nize that this covenant, this league of pi ace, is the greatest document since the sermon on the mount. "If you could look forward a few yesrs to the time when Portland will number its population by millions in stead of by hundreds of thousands; v. hen the largest ships that enter ary port of the world will come and go to your harbor and that will come you would se that the names that will shine then In the annals of history will be of the men of broad vision, such as Woodrow Wilson and William Howard Taft. (Prolonged applause.) "The very fact that the navy and con merce are linked in development of rivera and harbora ia aignificant. It moans that congress will translate It Into provision of the necessary appro priations for deepening channels, so tl at the largest ships may come and go."

Standing be fore a veritable forest of American flags held In the hands of more than 30,000 school children packed into the sheep meadow in Central Park this af ternoon. General Pershing personally thanked them for their patriotism dur ing the war. The children had waited in the park for nearly three hours to get a glimpse of the commander-in-chief. When his car came into view the chorus of cheers arose so high that it seemed to sweep through the park and be echoed back by the tall buildings. The ceremony itself was brief. It opened with a "salute to the flag," led by boy scouts, and recited by the chil dren. This was followed by the sing ing of the national anthem, after which General Pershing was introduced. The commander was visibly affected by the greeting, as were his two sisters, who occupied seats on the platform and whose eyes were wet with tears. Future Citizens Reviewed. After gazing In silence over the crowd for nearly two minutes, the gen eral said: "School children of the city of New York: It gives me extreme pleasure to be here this afternoon for a few moments and to witness this patriotic ceremony. "It is upon you we must depend in the future to defend the principles of our forefathers, to defend the prin ciples we all love so well. I feel sure you understand the principles for which the war was fought and that you join with me in congratulating America on Its victorious conclusion. "I'm sure the patriotism of the chil dren of America has been an inspira tion, not only to the grownups but to the boys who carried the rifles at the front. I thank you for this great les son in patriotism and wish that every one who served in Europe could see it as I have seen it." Youngstera Break for General. After the ceremony hundreds of chil dren broke through the police lines in order to shake the general's hands. Policemen with outstretched hands and legs tried to stem the tide of crowding youngsters, but several enterprising lads crawled through the policemen's legs and rushed for the general's auto mobile. : The warmth of the general's recep tion seemed to increase as his visit lenthened. The crowds in front of his hotel became so numerous that a large detail of policemen is needed to keep traffic moving and to permit the of ficial cars to pass to and frj. It be came known today that General Per shing Is being swamped with invita tions to visit cities all over the country, but thus far Philadelphia and Wash ington are the only places that he has definitely decided .to visit in the east. The general will leave for Washington Friday morning, stopping in Philadel phia for a few hours. He will parade with the 1st division in Washington. "Alsace" and "Lorraine" Ktssed After the exercises in the sheep meadow the general was presented with an American flag by a school girl. As he received the gift he bowed gracefully and pressed the national colors to his lips. A delegation of 25 Alsace-Lorrainers, led by Maurice Casenave, minister plenipotentiary for France, called at the Waldorf to pay their respects to General Pershing and to express the gratitude of the French people for his services in helping to liberate Alsace Lorraine. Two little girls, Charlotte and Georg ette Rueff, daughters of a New York banker, attired as "Alsace" and "Lor raine," presented two bouquets of lilies and roses tied with the silk tri-color of France to General Pershing. After kissing the maidens on both cheeks as is the custom in France he briefly responded to the delegation. "I am proud to have been of the army that took part in the restora tion of Alsace-Lorraine and the un doing of a great wrong." he said. General Pershing arose this morn ing shortly after S o'clock and break- PLAYING Until Friday Midnlebt gt 1 fc':M:i4u& HI iw$Sfii "THE WAY OF A mi It's a Very Snttnf y Ins; Subject r 4 urn. . -JV yV Other Numbers Include "CHOP SUEY & CO."

A message from the depart ment of agriculture stated that the animal must remain at embarkation headquarters at Newport News for the full quarantine period. Instead, the general will be mounted on a Virginian thoroughbred named Captain and owned, by the city police department. General Pershing will leave New York for Philadelphia on a special train at 8 o'clock Friday morning. He has accepted an invitation from Mayor Smith to visit Philadelphia and will re main there for several hours before proceeding to Washington. He is to arrive in the capital at 4 o'clock Fridaj afternoon. The general today received as a gift from the Lieutenant Jefferson Sigle Post of the American Legion, a Vir ginia thoroughbred horse which will be i-;1en in the parade tomorrow by Colo nel Quackenmeyer of the commander's staff. When General Pershing went to the riding academy, where the presentation was made, the building soon was sur rounded by a crowd eager to see him. Many mothers with babies in their arms were present and wanted the gen eral to kiss their children. He com plied in the case of two or three who were most insistent. When he returned to his hotel, he found many more fond mothers anxious to have the distinction conferred upon their infants, and he again had to run the gauntlet before reaching his rooms. "There is absolutely no truth in the report," said General Dawes. "1 do not know where the story came from, but this is the first I have heard of it."
