C, March 28. President Harding stood bareheaded in the rain today in the national botanic gardens just west of the capitol and turned his first spadeful of earth when ground was broken for the memorial to Major-General George Gordon Meade, commander . of the victorious Union army at the de cisive battle of Gettysburg. Secretary Weeks, Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania, Senator Brandegee of Connecticut, a member of the me morial commission; George Gordon Meade, grandson of the Union leader, and George Gordon Meade Jr., a great-grandson, as well as Lieuten-ant-General Nelson A. Miles, partici pated in the ceremonies. The presi dent was accompanied by Mrs.' Hard ing and the chief justice of the United States and Mrs. Taft. The spade used by the president in breaking the ground was used in be ginning the work on the Lincoln and Arlington memorials. A -detachment of the third battalion, 64th infantry, from -Fort Washington served as a guard of honor. Secretary Weeks as chairman of the commission, which was directed by congress to supervise the plan ning and construction of the memo rial, declared in a brief address that it was "not out of place to use General Meade as an illustration of the value of having in the regular army trained officers, even if they are not engaged in strictly military activities during much of their serv ice." - . The secretary added that the regu lar army "furnishes a storehouse of material which always has and al ways will provide for the necessities of the government in time of need and without which the early days of any war would necessarily result in untold uncertainties and perhaps dis aster. "This is a lesson we should not for get today," he declared, "and it has direct application to any material re duction in the number of regular army officers." ' General Miles re viewed the military life of General Meade and asserted that he "never received just recognition for his great achievements." Ex-Senator Seeks Judgeship. MARSHFIELD, Or., March 28. (Special.) W. C. Chase of Coquille, ex-senator, is the first man in Coos county to announce his candidacy for a county office, and seeks to be county judge, succeeding Judge Wade of Bandon, who resigned the position with the statement that the pay is too small and the affairs of the office require all of an incumbent's time. Several other Coos county repub licans, among them A. H. Derbyshire of North Bend, W. U. Douglas of Marshfield, R. H. Mast of Coquille and George P. Topping of Bandon, have beent talked of as possible candidates. World-wide internationlism, not lim ited by a closer concert of English speaking peoples by any means, but an understanding that shall circle the globe and usher In the day when all peoples everywhere shall dwell in harmony and content such was the message of Sir Auckland Geddes, given in a notable address before a dis tinguished dinner company of 80O per sons at the Chamber of Commerce last night. Tremendous losses to humanity through thc world war were recounted in part. The extent of these losses, said the speaker, are not yet fully realized. They would be felt by future generations. Sir Auckland held it was the mission and duty of this genera tion to lay the foundations for such an understanding throughout the earth that future cataclysms such as that so lately suffered, shall never come again. ' State Honor, Ambassador. Not only Portland, but the state, paid honor to Ambassador and Lady Geddes last night. At the head table were the guests of honor. Governor Olcott, Mayor Baker. H. B. Van Duzer, presifent of the Chamber of Com merce; W. B. Ayer, chairman of the committee of welcome, and their ladies, with other notables. The big dining room, filled to capacity, was hung with British and American flags. The diners were thoroughly in accordr with the high sentiments of Sir Auck land's scholarly address. Applause that was so long continued he was forced to acknowledge it by rising to his feet a second time burst out spon taneously in large volume when he ended his remarks. Edgar B. Piper, toastmaster. pro posed the toast, "To the king," before introducing the guest of the evening. It was drunk, standing, and before the company was seated Sir Auckland asked that the toast. "To the presi dent of the United States," be drunk with him. Introduction Is Happy. ' "I may be expected in introducing this distinguished visitor to give the old stuff," said Mr. Piper, "familiar to us all, such as hands across the sea, no danger of war between Anglo- Saxon people, blood is thicker than water, and we Americans know," he said, bowing to the honor guest at his right, "just how thin water is." He denied any such intention and his introduction was most happy, with considerable witty comment upon his own visit to England dur ing the closing days of the war and he said he supposed because he had been received by royalty at Sand rlugham, it was presumed he knows the ambassadorial language. We know that Sir Auckland is one of the greatest Englishmen that Scot land has produced," he said. "We know that in a long line of prime ministers of England during the past 50 yearsv but two of them were of direct English birth. I do not sup pose that our guest can be betrayed into any utterance in respect to the four-power treaty or any naval or other treaties whatever. But it ought to be said that any treaty between Great Britain and the United States that will tend to limit or to end wars ought to be supported to the limit by every citizen of Great Britain ana the United States and every citizen of all other civilized countries on earth. Visit Is Declared Honor. "We are met here for the purpose of bidding welcome to Lady Geddes and Sir Auckland. We are much hon ored by this visit. Above everything we have the most keen appreciation for the land you represent, the great sacrifices you have made in the late war in the task of upholding and de fending civilization. For these people I express to you the most cordial spirit of welcome." Sir Auckland, upon being presented, spoke of his appreciation for the at tentions shown him here and said it was but natural that an ambassador to the United States should want to see all sections of it. He referred to the manifest development going for ward on the Pacific and the great future manifestly in store for the western United States. "This development depends" he said, "upon the removal of any fur ther setbacks, such as the world has suffered by reason" of the late war. You here, perhaps, have no first-hand knowledge of the extent of the toll levied upon civilization by the war, particularly in the loss of the young men of such a country as mine and of France. 'The best, brains have been shot out on the field of battle and that has thrown back the develop ment of science and commerce for perhaps 100 years. Loss to Science Discussed. "Science is not divided into com partments but it is of world wide value. Tour loss in this respect was felt by you before a United States soldier stepped upon French soil. Of course. after the United States entered the war, this loss was in orcasnd very ..much. The loss to German science through tfie death of their scientists was also a world wide loss. This loss to science was the greatest of all the devastations the war brought aDout. "These are things war does to the future in addition to the losses of thr, nresent that war occasions. More immediate devastation was, of course, to property, buildings, improvements of all kinds. To anyone who has seen the real cost of war, the very idea of such another conflict must be abhorrent. "We have seen wars follow each other clear back through the mists of time to the beginning of things. Peace reigns and then, in a period of stress, war breaks out and the wheel goes full cycle. For example, the Napoleonic wars, through the choosing of the taller men for soldiers, cost I ?'- - -Sjj..:i-.-aS - -I, - a- - --' ONLY TWO DAYS MORE! Then Gone SO HURRY!
