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."

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!

so many loyal English and Scotch, and
better still that they are all good

Mayor Baker also lauded the spirit of

barred the way of the Germans when
they advanced at Ypres, ten Germans
