must have felt.- far more keenly than
! their cheering could portray, a clutch
at their hearts for the service, and the
; meaning: of that sacrifice, that these
men had given to a Country called
America.
Not the world war alone, when
America fouurht for a cause that needs
no word of justification, but two for
mer conflicts waged for the same
hasic principles Of freedom and jus
tice moved in the' Armistice day re
view. For the men of the Grand
Army were there, who know the un
written gossip of Gettysburg- and
Sherman's march, and tha men of the
Npanish war, who saw the bullet-
prayed slopes of "San Juan and the
deadly Jungles Where- Agruinaldo's
men lurked for the sortie.. Grand
dad, sire and son three generations
of the material that has kept Ameri
can honor clean and the flag to the
fore they held their places in the
pageant.
Clamor Relgaa All Day Long;.
Armistice day Wasn't all parade, by
any means. It dawned in clamor, and
it held that note throughout its
course. Squads of impromptu cele
brants marched through the streets,
with cheers to herald their way. Auto
horns squawked themselves into
frenzy, and boyish bicycle couriers
trundled bumping, clangorous cans
and hardware along the pavements.
And the Red Cross crusaders, With a
harvest ready for the scythe, mowed
down memberships by the thousands.
Veteran Dance at Night.
Evening held its own quota of
events. At Multnomah hotel the vet
erans danced and dined. At the Fourth
street hall the Daddies' club was host
to 500 wives, daughters and sons who
saw service, with entertainment, din
ner and dancing as features .of the
programme. Througout the down
town district many smaller social
events were to the fore as affairs ol
Armistice day. The British war vet
erans formally opened their new club
rooms. The greatest exhibition of the spirit
of celebration was evident last night
in the blocks between Fifth and Park
on Washington street. In the space
of these three blocks celebrants
swayed in the wild abandon that char
acterized the crowds In the Place de
la Concorde and in Piccadilly circus
one year ago.
The south side of Washington street
between Broadway and Park was a
human maelstrom. The glitter of
newly-acquired shoe chines disap
peared from the footgear that trod
the pavement in front of the' Morgan
building and corns asserted them
selves In a painful manner. One of
ficer of high rank was seen to take
off his spurs after he had "gone
through the mill."
Good-natured as the crowd was,
there were times when a fist fight
brought a swarm of spectators. The
fights never progressed far, for the
sufficient reason that the fighters
hadn't ejbow room. A sudden surge
at the corner of Broadway and Wash
ington broke the window glass of a
cigar store, and the tinkle of falling
glass mingled with the blare of tin
trumpets.
The festive "dip- gave evidence of
his presence at about 9 o'clock. An
excited youth rushed up to the traf
fic offieer at the busy corner, Broad
way and Washington, and cried to the
officer:
"My pocketbook with $200 In It has
been stolen! How late is the police
station open?"
At 1:30. with military promptness,
the martial and civic parade took its
course through the cheering thou
sands, on a mile-long march that end
ed at the auditorium, where a special
programme was held. Colonel H. E.
Dosch was grand marshall of the pa
rade, with Captain James P. Bhaw
and Harry Allen as his divisional
aides.
Many Units to Parade.
In review the principal entries of
the parade held the following order:
Chief of Police Jenkins and police
officers, headed by motorcycle patrol
men, under command of Sergeant
Frank Ervin.
The "gob" band, musical bluejackets
from Mare Island, who made martial
ir-.elody that quickened the paraders
and who turned occasionally to popu
lar airs.
The American Legion, Portland post,
headed by Harry M. Grayson, vice
president; John G. Beckwith. secre
tary, and Mayor Baker, passed by 600
trong veterans all. a majority of
whom saw the celebrated fields of
trance when the lot of the military
tourist was a lively one.
The National Guard of Oregon, with
rifles slanted, swept by behind its
colors its ranks largely recruited
from returned overseas service men

numbered neveral hundred.
Next came the veterans of the Span
ish war, followed by the Multnomah
Guard and the Scottish bag-pipers
and behind them marched our cousins
from the north, our Canadian veter
ans contingent.
The Canadians, mustering more
than 100, were officered by Colonel
John Leader, former commander of
the Royal Irish Rifles, and more lately
military commandant at the Univer
sity of Oregon. Colonel Leader was
mounted, with bared sword. Himself
a veteran of the bitter fighting in the
earlier phase of the war. the men who
followed him were those who served
with celebrated Canadian regiments.
One hundred and fifty Boy Scouts,
with their drummers and buglers to
he fore, stepped along with military
precision, the buglers sounding the
various calls and the drummers beat
ing out quick-marching time.
Salvation Army Band Marches.
The Salvation Army band, with a
following of army lasses, just such
girls as those who served coffee and
doughnuts right behind the front
lines, played its way down the line
of march.
The American Library association.
In charge of Miss Mary Frances Isom.
who saw overseas service, carried a
banner which announced that Ameri
can boys in France had used 7.000.000
books supplied bythe' organization.
A humorous note to the march was
the little red "bug, manned by two
uniformed ex-soldiers, which bore a
rotund impersonation of a captured

him as a prisoner true to form.
Girls of nursing staff of the countv
hospital, in neat 'uniforms, were fol
lowed by a contingent from the cir
cuit court departments and the dis
trict attorney's office.
Another colorful patch in the line
was the company of Red Cross can
teen girls, commanded by Mrs. Ferdi
nand E. Reed, captain, who gave Port
land service men farewell and greet
ing during the war period, and whose
canteen became known as the finest
from coast to coast. The canteen unit
was led by its own band. In blue uni
form with red decorations, and the
entire unit preceded the score of cars
that represented the Portland Red
Cross chapter.
Red Cross Names Parade.
There were Red Cross nurses who
served in the hospitals in France,
wounded lads In automobiles, their
crutches poked with unconscious
pathos from the tonneaus, laden autos
bearing school children, and cars rep
resenting the many departments of
Red Cross activity.
And there were scores of cars yet
to follow, with various auxiliaries,
slogans, appeals for the Red Cross
campaign and civic entries, Y. M. C. A.
overseas secretaries held a place in
the line.
Tagging along at the heels of a
marching member of the American
Legion waddled a German dachshund
a canine trophy brought back from
the area of occupation and thoroughly
Americanized.
A squad of Portland police, with the
always efficient and melodious police
band, marched in the parade. . And the
police, as always, handled the crowds
on the side lines with good-humored
tact and diplomacy that sent the spec
tacle on its progress without a hitch
or an untoward event.
Buglers of the parade were two stu
dents of Hill Military academy, Fred
Hartley and Mahlon Gillett.

chairman of our committee." said
-Personnel of Portland's famous Red Cross canteen. 2 "Jerry" was In bad shape. 3 "Frits," a prisoner of marked nationality, captured by Captain

Frank Glenn, executive secretary of
the Armistice day committee, "I wish
to voice thanks for the whole-hearted
co-operation g'iven us in the parade
and in the general affairs of the day."
Armistice day parade was a real
event symbolizing the faith that
America has kept, and will keep, de
spite the snapping of reds and radi
cals or whatever world events may be
around the corner of the future. And
Armistice day was an outpouring of
patriotic fervor in a city that needs
no application of Americanization,
save In minor degree, being one with
the nation, now and forever.
