So is the Commander-in-Chief of the British armies In f ranco. nut we ocoicn aren't making any noise about it. We are wearing our high honors with modesty." Such were keynotes running through the annual banquet of the St. Andrew's Society of Oregoneld last night in the grill of the Hotel Portland. Two hundred people were present, about 15 per cent being women. Another and a deeper keynote was contained in a patriotic speech by Mayor Baker, who, speaking on the toast "The Rose City," said "Some of the other speakers have re ferred to the menace of the red flag In this country. Such a peril may lurk." Xm Reoas For Red Flaar Here. Turning ' to Rer. E. V. Sbayler, of Seattle, Wash, one of the previous speakers. Mayor Baker proceeded "The red flag trouble may be started in Seattle some day. But mark me, no red flag will be allowed in this city. There Is only room for one flag in this country, and that is the Stars and Stripes. Don't let any red-flag bus! ness start. II It is allowed, iook out for your women and children because they will not be safe from the rabble that carry the red flag. In this coun try. It is good to know that there are so many loyal English and Scotch, and better still that they are all good Americans." Pershing's Name Applauded, Mayor Baker also lauded the spirit of the gallant little British army that barred the way of the Germans when they advanced at Ypres, ten Germans to one Briton. "But." went on the May or, "strength only did not win that day. The armed might and brute strength of it win occupy more rioor space than is " , ' ' " , " the Germans warranted the assumption cdmmon.y utilised for the display of J?te tresn vfeVl.n Church is that "W uht to havo P' on to machinery.

He lauded General Halg and Admiral Beat ty, of the British army and navy; also General Foch, the commander-in-chief of the allies, and the meeting heard the speaker in silence. But when the Mayor mentioned General Pershing, the Scots broke into delightful applause. Scotch Tenacity Landed. Rer. E. V. Shayler. rector of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Seattle, spoke on "Scotland s Part in the Great World War," and referred appreciatively to Scotch spirit and tenacity that helped to win the battles.
