Wayward breeaes which whipped the folds of historic standards carried in parade and waved the tiny flags dotting hundreds of green mounds. Blossoms on a river's bosom.

The roll of drums and shrill of fifes. The tramp of marching feet. Heads bowed in reverence. This was Memorial day, 1921, as ob served in Portland. Memorial Day Glorloa. Never did those who would honor the nation's dead find a more glorious day. Never were Oregon's floral gifts more abundant or beautiful. In the shadow of cemetery firs, at the foot of veterans' monuments and at the municipal auditorium the pledge of Americans was renewed! that those who had made the supreme sacrifice in America's wars should not have died in vain. Speakers reviewed the glorious deed's of the past In which Oregon's soldiery had participated. They Im pressed on. the living that theirs was J a heritage of glory, sanctified ty me lives of thousands. They asked that the slacker be not forgotten, that the un-American be shipped to the land from whence he came or where his sympathies lie. They prayed that the spirit which actuated America in wars of the past be kept alive and that the American soldier might always be found on the side of the right. If more wars there may be. Dead Are Not Fergottea. Not' a cemetery In the city but showed the loving remembrances of friends and relatives. Flags and flowers In profusion were mute evidence- that all were not forgotten. America has a new flower. Though crimson popies may dot Flanders' fields today, they will scarcely be .more in evidence than the poppies in buttonhole and corsage yesterday. Immortalised in poetry, the red poppy has come to stay as a symbol of the promise given those who died over seas. Where the supply of the Imita tion scarlet flower ran out, the yel low California poppies were "used. The. sentiment was the same. , Fast thinning ranks of veterans of earlier wars were reinforced in pa rade yesterday by those who -will compose the grand army of half a century hence.. Lads clad in the olive drab of the world war swung intc line behind the veterans of blue- and gray, .and the khaki warriors of the fight with Spain., All Wan Represented. The morning of Memorial day was given over chiefly to observances in widely separated sections of the city. A parade of veterans of all wars and community memorial exercises at the city auditorium featured the after noon. Such was the lure .of the stream, the forest and the seashore during the Saturday-Sunday-Monday holiday that streets of the city were denuded of the large crowds which usually line the curbs during a Memorial day parade, but enthusiasm compen sated for numbers. Toward evening streams of automobiles flowed along all the arteries leading into Portland, bringing week-enders from recrea tion spots back to the humdrum of jwork. George A. White, adjutant-general of Oregon, was grand marshal of the parade. Be marched at ita head, on foot, at his side two Grand Army of the Republic veterans, and fol lowed by 'his staff, composed of vet erans of three wars. Chief of staff was Captain Harry C. Brumbaugh.

The humble nickel has come Into its own again in Portland restaurants. As in other cities, restaurant prices in Portland have been tumbling the last few weeks, and although they are npt yet back to pre-war levels, they are near enough to cause jubilation among downtown eaters. That old standard dish, bam and eggs, is back to "two bits" In many of the central cafeteries. One, more enterprising than some, advertises ham or bacon and egg, with potatoes, toast and coffee for 25 cents. The same place has a 20-cent lunch con sisting of meat or fish, potatoes, pie j or pudding, coffee or tea and Dreaa and butter. A Washington-street cafeteria is telling the world that it sells a small steak for 10 cents. This restaurant also advertises two eggs, any style, for 13 cents, a hot beef sandwich for 10 cents, and corned beef hash, with toast, for 13 cents. ' In most of the downtown restau rants coffee is selling at a nickel a cup. In prunes Portland leads the world. Recent dispatches from a California city indicate that prunes are selling at low prices down there, but some weeks ago a Portland restaurant in stituted a new stunt. In this restau rant is a big bowl with a big spoon and a big sign: "All the prunes you want for 3 cents." GASOLINE WAFMN EFFECT Autoists of Chchalls Get Motor Fuel for 2 6 Cents Gallon. CHEHALIS, Wash.. May 30. (Spe cial.) Citizens of Chehalis who drive cars were enjoying the benefits of a war on the price of gasoline, which makes it possible to fill one's tank to capacity at 26 cents a gallon. Practically every stand in the city sold at this price. At Centralia the prevailing price posted at garages was 28 cents the gallon, and the saving of 2 cents a c-allon by driving four miles was causing many drivers from that city to come to Chehalis to buy their gasoline. So. far as can be learned the cut In price was merely local. BOY FISHERMAN DROWNS James Lester Shelton Falls 1 rom Logs Into Mill Pond. ST. HELENS, Or.. May 30. (Spe clal.)

I SEATTLE, Wash., May 30. (Spe cial.) J. A. Clark, a- comedian em ployed by the Kolwood Production company, was drowned in Green lake this afternoon when he pur posely capsized a canoe in which he and Isabelle Carpenter, an actress, were being filmed. ' He sank while endeavoring to swim' ashore from the canoe after he apparently recovered his balance following the sudden plunge into the lake. Miss Carpenter returned to assist Clark and was nearly drowned by him. The camera registered the tragedy from begin ning to end. The company, which has been con ducting a dramatic school in the Thompson building for several months past, was filming its first picture. The film was to be a two-reel com edy and the first reel called for a scene in which a canoe capsized while carrying the two principals of-the piece. The north end of Green lake was selected as the spot to film the pic ture, and Miss Carpenter of 1123 Thirty-eighth avenue and Clark started out in the canoe. Both were declared to be good swimmers, but as an additional precaution another canoe was stationed near by to come to their rescue after the canoe cap sized. After the canoewas capsized Clark grasped its edge for a moment, while Miss Carpenter began to swim to shore, about 150 yards distant. Clark then started to follow her, when he was observed to go down. Miss Car penter, hearing a cry, turned back and caught blm, but was drawn under the water by Clark in his struggles. He clung to the young woman with a grip that she had difficulty In breaking. She finally succeeded in getting loose, and, completely ex hausted by her experience, swam slowly ashore. The police and park departments Immediately made ef forts to rescue the man, but did not find the body unfli 2 hours later. The accident occurred about 2 o'clock.

INTEGRITY IS HELD VITAL Duty to World Can Be Accom plished Best if Own Needs Are Tended First, Says President. WASHINGTON", D. C, May 30. The national capital's memorial cere monies for American war dead were colored by a new touch of interna tional significance today at services held In Arlington cemetery under the lead of President Harding. Speaking in the Arlington amphi theater to veterans of three wars and to officials and diplomats, the presi dent rededicated the nation to the cause of freedom and civilization and promised that it never would fail to measure up to every demand presented to It In behalf of civilization. By striking across the sea In the world war, he declared, America had sanctified again her faith in free In stitutions for peoples everywhere. Geddea Decora ten Flag. "Wherever men are free," he said, "they are wont to give thought to our country's services In freedom's cause. Today the sons anddaughters of other, lands are placing with loving hands their laurels on American graves. Our Memorial day is become an international occasion." . Sir Auckland Geddes, British am bassador, seconded the sentiment by placing on the American flag beside the president a . wreath of roses presented by the people of the United Kingdom and her dominions "In un dimmed memory of the sacrifices America has made - for Individual liberty."

He declared the whole mission of America would become an unrealized dream If this heritage ever was sacrl-j flced. Civilisation Duty Noted. "Our country," said Mr. Harding, "has never failed to measure up to the demands presented to it In behalf of humanity and it "never will. When it ceases to meet these drafts U will no lnnerer be our country: It will be, if that time ever comes, the wretched and decaying memorial of 'another civilization that has crumpled, of an other Ideal which has failed, of an other ambition for men's happiness which has somehow gone awry." In equally emphatic language the president asserted his conviction that this duty to civilization could be ac complished only If the nation took care first of its own integrity. The text of the president's address in part follows: Meeting en Sacred Soli. "We are met on sacred soil today. for. a solemn hour of sacrament and consecration. But the soil whence we come is Itself sanctified through the sacrifices of those who lie here. Wherever our flag files, within the boundaries of the republic. It is over lands whose freedom and security have been wrought through these sacrifices. "It is the privilege of this com pany to utter our tribute of love and gratitude in the sacristy of beauty within sight of the national capital. But others, no less devout, will as semble in our land and other lands, under foreign skies and among alien peoples, to pay like tribute of love and memory. There is no discordant note In the hymn of gratitude, no sec tionalism in our memorial. Above the Riurmurlngs of grief Is the swelling concord of union and the dominant note is our faith in the republic. -Diverse Raeea Speak Tribute. "It will be a tribute today, spoken in many tongues and by diverse races. Wherever men are free they are wont to give thought to our country's serv ices in freedom's cause. Where men may but aspire to a freedom not yet achieved, their instinct turns the eye and the thought of hope this way, and they pray that their cause may gain our approbation. They know that we have never drawn the sword of op pression, that we have not sought what was not our o'wn, nor taken all that we might have claimed. They have seen our protecting arm stretched over the outpoBts of liberty on'every continent. For more than a century our plighted word warned tyranny from half the world; then, when the gage was taken up by toad ambition, men felt the blow that armies could strike when freedom answered in its utmost might.

(Copyright by the New York World, Pub lished by Arrangement.) LONDON', May 30. (Special Cable.) A grave situation involving the British and Angora governments ap pears to be developing in Anatolia. It will be recalled, said the Daily News, that during the London con ference in March the Turks, repre sented primarily by Beklr Samy Bey. then foreign minister for Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the nationalist leader, were offered by the allies terms which constituted very favorable modifications of the Sevres treaty. They received one month to accept or reject the terms, but since then there has been no sign of acceptance, and Beklr Samy Bjy has given way to a much' more Irreconcilable suc cessor. The pledge to release British prisoners has been broken and other agreements violated. In consequence of these acts. Britain is considering the dispatch of a stern note to Angora and preparing to back up its protest by adequate measures. An Indian Moslem, Mustapha Sachir, has been hanged at Angora on a charge for which there" appears to be no foundation whatever of bein a spy. British subjects have been held up and ransacked off Adalia. and all Anatolian ports have bocn de clared closed to Brltlsli shipping. An attack by Mustapha Kemal's troops on Constantinople and the straits Is at present threatened, while at the same time ratification of the treaty with France regarding Ollicla has been refused and treaties with Moscow and Afghanistan have been concluded. All these circumstances point to a deliberate policy of hostility toward Great Britain and. to a lesser degree, France, on the part of the Angora government. .
