TI1E SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 17, IMS.
Jlcmbers of Organization Say They
AV1I1 Not Submit to Order
Without Legal Decision.
Officers of the Multnomah Guard,
including Coloned L Campbell,
commander, and Captain R. C. Dolbin,
adjutant, last night declared that they
would fight to the last ditch before
they would submit to orders from Adjutant-General
Beebe to vacate the
Armory.
."We will taKe me matter into the
courts If necessary," said Colonel
Campbell. "We will make a test case
of the ownership of the Armory and I
if we find that it belongs to the state
then the state will have to pay for
and we will ask the county to use the
money it obtains from the sale to con
verting the Ice Hippodrome into
armory for the Multnomah Guard."
Colonel Campbell In interpreting the
Jetter points out the following ex
tracts: . . . "I am compelled to re
quest that your organization will va
cate the building and arrange for quar
ters elsewhere." And farther on in the
letter: "... to the end that as rapidly
as possible space in the Armory will
be relinquished, and your organization
wholly withdrawn at the earliest prac
ticable date."
Adjntaat-Geaeral Silent.
These clauses, the Guard officer con
tends, can only be construed as orders
to vacate.
Adjutant-General Beebe. when asked
about the letter yesterday, said: "The
matter is now in the hands of the Gov
ernor and. as I am representing him.
I cannot say anything more at this
time. He then gave out a copy of the
letter to Colonel Campbell for publica
tion.
Multnomah Guard members yesterday

to the Governor asking that the order
to vacate the Armory be rescinded. One
of the first signers was Rufus C Hoi-
man. chairman of the Multnomah
County Board of Commissioners, who
penned after his signature: "Those who
devotedly served in the hour of real
. peril should not now be repudiated."
"The Multnomah Guard will be kept
Intact no matter how hard we have to
fight to keep it so," said its comman
der. Colonel Campbell. "We feel un
der moral obligations to the taxpayers
to do so. The red flag Is now waving
over part of Europe. We hope that
emblem will never come here, but if
there should be a disturbance of any
Vind the Multnomah Guard, whose
members are mature enough to exer
cise good Judgment, could be of great
service.
Court Deelaloa Is Sought.
"Adjutant-General Beebe. in his let
ter, has asked us to co-operate with
him. We have done so. Companies A
and a vacated the rooms In the Armory
assigned to them during Adjutant-
Oeneral White s administration for the
National Guard and moved Into the Ice
Hippodrome. We were put to consider
able expense in fitting up our quarters
there. Later we shifted the band and
another company to accommodate the
guardsmen. We are not going to give
up me Armory. However, without a
fight. We are going to take the mat
ter to the Governor and into court if
necessary."

Whereas, The Multnomah Guard and Its
band have rendored valuable and useful serv

of Multnomah during the war; and
Whereas, The usefulness and need of the
Multnomah Guard during the reconstruc

Whereas, Necessary quarters must be
maintained for the proper housing of th
men and equipment In order to maintain its
highest efflcli-ncy: and
W hereas. The quarters In the present sr
mory. In the city or fortlana. are aaequat

A Talk by Rosenthal's on
Government Regulation
and the Shoe Business
Every line of business is asked to co-operate with the
Government. The shoe trade has been asked to curtail the
number of styles m order that capital, labor, materials and
transportation may be released. The Government has asked
us to in turn seek the public's co-operation in making these
regulations eiieciive.
Unfortunately, false rumors, detrimental to the wearers
of shoes, have appeared in the newspapers and we feel it
our duty to state the facts as they are.
Shoe manufacturers haye been asked by the Government
to limit the class of materials and amount of labor expended
in the making of shoes in order that shoes of good value and
assuring a fair profit to maker and retailer may continue to
be sold. Ut necessity, however, this will eliminate, after
present stocKs are sold, all shoes of the very highest grades,
which necessarily must retail at prices higher than will be
charged for shoes restricted in style but which will not be
on sale until some time in the future.
We have been asked by patrons if it is not "unpatriotic"
10 ear certain types 01 snoes. vve answer that all shoes
are patriotic shoes, for the Government expressly desires
us and all shoe retailers to sell all shoes on hand at prices
now prevailing.
After present stocks are exhausted certain beautiful and
daintily colored shoes, now extremely popular, will not be
obtainable. These were made in exact conformity with
Government restrictions. When they are gone you cannot
obtain them, however, at any price. Included m these num
bers are the beautiful gray kid, two-tone and medium brown
boots with French heels and turned sole boots. If you prefer
tnese snoes 01 distinctive cnaracter and at present moderate
prices you should take advantage of this opportunity.
Price and style restriction will affect all shoes men's,
women's, misses' and children's alike. And prices will be
higher, quality considered, after present stocks are ex
hausted. We have pledged ourselves to the Government patriotic
ally to conform with the shoe restrictions, and have applied
for a PLEDGE CARD which we will show in our window
upon its arrival from Washington.
All shoe stores wherever shoes are sold have heen
asked to co-operate and to seek your co-operation, as we are
doing.
