Naval Reserves Ready for Mimic Battle. SEATTT..E. July . (Special. This has been n-.llltary week with the National Guard of Washing-ton. The assembling- of troops, which began with the parade In Tacoma July 4. car ried the Infantry, cavalry and signal corps to Camp Fort Jon. American Lake, for the annual maneuvers, continuing 10 days: the naval militia, in possession of the coast defense monitor Cheyenne, Is busy with a 1. days' cruise on Tuget Semnd. and the companies of the coast artillery reserve have their eyes on Fort 'Worden. at the Inland entrance to the Straits of Fuca. where they hope to duplicate the practice that a year ago gave them world records with mor tars and rifled cannon, and earned for officers and men the special commen dation of the Secretary of War. At American Lake this evening- was set aside for recreation, atter the somewhat strenuous campaigning under the July sun: and tomorrow, the pro gramme Is "church, necessary guard and fatigue." Monday the maneuvers will be continued with an attack: also there will be three lectures: One by Adjutant-General Fred Llewellyn on "The Legal Status of Organized Mi litia." another by Captain John K. Car roll, on "Dellnquence Court Duty." and the third before the noncommissioned officers' school. Tuesday the troops will break camp. Among the visitors have been Major John H. Wholley. Cap tain Harry W. Newton. Captain Wil liam T. Patten and First Lieutenant C. B. Crusan. all of the rerular Army. The Second Infantry Is under com mand of Colonel William M. Inglls. of Seattle, who In consequence of changes due to the retirement of Adjutant-Ucn- oral Georgo B. Lamping and Colonel Otto A. Cane, lms been advanced from Major to his present rank. Colonel Inglls was among the officers of the guard detailed to the regular Army maneuvers on the Mexican border last Spring, and having In mind the expe rience there gatnod evolved the plan for the state troops now under his command. Admittedly heretofore, a mistake has been made In compelling citizen soldiers, for most part frexh from offlc buildings, to undergo the rigors of long- marches and exhaustive drills, and with that fact In mind Colo nel Inglls has avoided the hike of IS at 10 miles and has staged his mimic engagements about a mile from camp, the defensive forces having been sched uled to move out that distance to meet the attacking column. While the pro gramme for drills and Instruction has begun at 5:45 o'clock tn the morning and has continued until 7:30 In the evening, the Intention has been to pro vide Intermissions ample for diversion and rest. The formation at reveille. 6:55 o'clock, has been without arms: Immediately following are the setting up exercises, continuing for seven min utes: next, under the supervision of the battalion commanders, the morn ng drill Is divided Into three periods with Intervals of '15 minutes each; and upon completion of the actions recall from maneuver Is sounded by direction of the senior officer present. Between assembly for psrade and Adjutants' call occurs Inspection by respective com manders. , Major AVliolloy Present. An Interesting figure at American Lake Is Major Wholley, who at the con clusion of the maneuvers will visit this city, and then proceed to the en campment of the Oregon militia where he' will appear as the representative of the regular establishment, in a ca pacity similar to that In which he has served in this state. He Is now 43 years old. Fifteen years ago he was a First Lieutenant of the Twenty-fourth Infantry, and In 1896 was placed tn charge of the recru'tlng office In Se attle. At the outbreak of the Philip pine War he was commandant of the cadets at the University of Washington, and on being released by the War D partment became Colonel of the First Washington volunteers, under appoint ment by Governor John rt. Rogers. Before he left the Philippines he was In the field In command of a division. At the close of the war he returned to the regular service as a Captain. Since that time he has been assigned three times to the Philippines, has been on duty at Fort Logan, Colo.; has been on War College duty In California, and since 1910 has been with the War Col lege at Washington. D. C. He Is now on his way to Hawaii, where he will be Joined by Mrs. Wholley and their two children after the maneuvers of the Oregon National Guard. In the opinion of Major Wholley the National Guard of the United States shows notable im provement year by year. Especially has this been true during the last decade, which lias been notable for Its tend ency toward closer co-operation be tween the guard and the regular serv ice. Alluding to his service at the State University. Major Wholley has laugh ingly observed that It might appear to be a far cry from Instructing cadets to fighting bolomen In the Philippines, but that he had not noticed much dif ference. "Several of the cadets at the University of Washington,-' he said, "who positively refused to be subjected to discipline and who dodged drill whenever they could, went to the front In the Philippines and became the best soldiers In the First Washington." As to the Coast Artillery Reserve, It Is admitted that the best the companies under command of Colonel Matt H. Uormley can do will be to equal the just the thing for a musical home of a wealthy lumberman one of the several remaining exhibition pianos which were so much admired during the grand opening days of the new eilers music house, corner seventh and alder streets. h i )U i -r-rrrrzz r t. 4 V J - fci-.i .... r-nr "TJ t V -'Yio-r : ' iSLs1 i V " M WV--'-a U - rt !

(To' the Editor.) I ask that you extend to me the courtesy of publishing the fol lowing In reply to your editorial of July 6, 1911, In appreciation of your estimable opinion of the Greeks. First permit me to say that the ma jority of persons, who by reason of their criminal actions have been classi fied as Greeks simply because they happen to speak the language, are not natives of Greece, but come from neighboring countries. In an instance, which occurred in this city lately, two persons, accused under the "white slave" act, were classified as being Greeks. I am in a position to prove that they are not Greeks. One is a Turk and the other a Roumanian, and simply because they happened to speak this language to the officer, the re mainder of the Greeks in this city must bear the shame. I fully realize that In every nation as well as in families, black sheep exist, but we, the better class of Greeks In Portland, have been endeavoring to keep the criminal class away from here. I certainly realize that my people are clannish, but were it possible for any one tb see how they are abused right here in Portland for no just rea son whatever, and simply because it is impossible for them to secure work, you would then realize why they stand together so closely to protect them selves against these unjust actions. The better element here are and having been doing their duty to better the community and will continue to do so, and whenever matters shall fall to their lot either good or otherwise they will, as they have In the past, always bear their cross like men. In speaking generally for my people, I again want to thank you In thelr name for your defense of Greeks and only hope we shall never prove other wise.
