THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, 21, 1918. 13 STARS STAND FOR M 4 STALWART SONS Service Flag in Depot Window at Aurora Attracts Attention wj . of Hundreds Daily, g THEATER FATHER ALU AMERICAN George Sillier, Veteran Station . Agent, Serves Southern Faciflc Continuously Since 1883. IloyS Arc All Volunteers, ' AURORA. Or.. July 20. Four , flve folnted blue stars on tho white back ground of a service flaff in the window of the Southern Pacific depot at Au rora. Or., attract the attention of hun dreds of travelers dally. These four tars represent the four sons of George Miller, veteran station agent of the Southern Paciflo at that place. Mr. Miller Is 100 per cent American, both Bis parents and grandparents having keen born in the United States in the State of Pennsylvania. Mr. Miller him self was born in Bethel, Mo., the home Of the famous Bethel Colony, founded by Dr. "William Keil, who later estab lished the Aurora Colony at that place. Mr. Miller came to Oregron in 1877 at the age of 22 years and went to worlc for the railroad company in 1883, and has been in its employ continuously ever since, a period of 35 years. Sou All Volunteers.' Ills four sons have all, at one time or Another, been employes of the Southern Pacific. James A. Miller, the oldest son. Is k Lieutenant in the avlatipn branch of the Signal Corps, and is now stationed St Kelly Field, South Antonio, Tex., the largest aviation field in the world. Corporal Alvin W, Miller, headquar ters company of the 162d U. S. Infantry (Third Oregon), is with the American expeditionary forces in France,- where the first gold band has been added on Ills coat sleeve for six months' foreign Service. George W. Miller and Andrew Glesy Miller, members of Base Hospital No. 46, are also with the American Expedl tlonary forces. All are volunteers, and their parents and relatives and Aurora friends are all protrd of that fact. Pure Americanism Proren,. The determination of these young tnen to perform the imperative duties of the hour while the life of the Nation la Imperiled by war is sufficient evi dence of their devotion to their coun try. Likewise the sacrifice that their family has made approving their action Is further evidence, if any were needed, of the pure Americanism of this Aurora family. Lieutenant James A. Miller Is graduate of the law department of Stanford University. He is of slight stature and weight, and made many efforts to enter the service before he was accepted. His letters to his parents reveal a patriotic sentiment that is at tested by his action in entering the service of his country. Corporal Miller, with the l2d In fantry in France, was formerly em ployed at the Union Station in Port land, and spent " some time with the EUison-'White Chautauqua circuit. He Is one of the popular' men of the regi ment and often figures in. the regi meivtal news senthom by correspond snts of the Portland newspapers. - -irfcifffnTrr ' "-iinnsm-rr t i COMING MONDAY July 2 For An Extended Showing 4 (SUPREME TRIUMPH LoieswRy. cvtRTOLO fit - OF THE .A ROMANCE C .

Twins Kmwii In Portland. " The other Miller boys in the Army re known as the "Miller Twins," and are well known in high school circles in Portland, where they - attended Washington High School before join ing Major YenneyCs medical unit. They were active in amateur baseball, and when the war broke out were just as full of patriotic enthusiasm to partici pate in it lis they were in a baseball rne. These boys are as much alike ss two peas in pod,, as certain Portland young ladies sometimes found out dur ing their high school days, after being escorted home by the wrong twin. Even In their home town there are still yeople who cannot tell them apart. It is a safe bet they will keep the Boches guessing, , too, if they ever have oc casion .to meet them in any other ca pacity than as hospital attendants. Mother and Slater Workers. A hue the lour sons are serving their country in the Army, their mother and sister are active workers in the Red Cross, and in tho Aurora Auxiliary to the Third Oregon, an organization that does all it can for the 90 soldier boys who have gone from this little com munity. This is the organisation that presented the town with the beautiful community service flag, to which Bev oral stars are being added almost weekly. Because Aurora was once known as the "Aurora Colony" and founded by uv. tt.eii, wno was born in Prussia, it i often thought a considerable German sentiment exists here. This, however, is not true. Most of the original mem bers of the Aurora Colony were Penn sylvanta Germans, who had lost what ever attachment they (or their Barents) may have had for Prussia long before they came to Oregon. While there may be a sinister exception or two. to this day, it is doubtful if there can be found anywhere any more loyal citizens than the surviving members of the "Aurora tolony. Pride Is Warranted. Both Mr. and Mrs, George Miller, and their parents also, were members of the colony, but no taint of Germanism at t aches, and -it would be a man of con siderable hardihood that dare suggest such a thing to the local representative of the director-general of American Hallways,, for there is nothing on earth unless it. be his four soldier sons, of which George Miller is prouder than of being an American citizen and he has good reason to be proud of both sons and citizenship, for the sons are all trood. clean-cut. enthusiastic lads, who will give a good account of themselves when they meet the enemies of their country. And no man of the city of Aurora, or any other city, who look upon that four-starred service flag in the window of the Southern Pacific JJepot can question the sacrificing loy alty and patriotism of the Miller family.
