IRISH HKPI'BLIC" FLAGS AUE KKPT OUT OF UK VALERA MEETING, As. a precautionary measure only, police last night inter cepted all persons carrying flag-s of the "Irish republic" into the auditorium. More than a hundred flags were taken at the door and will be returned to their owners later. This action was taken when it became known that the audi torium was generously sprinkled with members of the American Legion, who were ready to take action should any occasion arise. The flag1 owners, except in a few minor instances, offered no objections when the police took the flags. Officers of the American Legion were stationed at the front of the auditorium and in the lobby, urging all ex-service men not to etart trouble of any kind. HUN BOYS TAUGHT WAR Young Children in School! Trained to Use'Grenndes and Machine Guns. BERLIN. (By the Associated Press.) Charlottenburg scholars in the high er schools are being trained for two hours in the afternoon in the art of using machine guns hand grenades and rifles, according to a Charlotten burg citixen who wjitee to the Peo ples Gazette, the popular edition ot the Tageblatt. The writer declares that during the past few weeks he has had repeated opportunity to witness the training in a military sense of children between 12 and IS years of age on a big field jn Charlottenburg. The training was carried out in the same way as during the best days of the imperial regime. The man in charge was a lieutenant, and non commissioned officers conducted the training, with the use of all the mil itary curse and command term used in the old army. The Peoples Gazette appeals to Min ister of Education Haenisch, "who is responsible for the uypbringing of youth, to investigate and eliminate what it calls a "scandalous situ tion." The independent socialist newspaper Freihelt had a similar story of hand grenade end machine-gun instruction recently. Although it was printed con spicuously, no attention was paid to it by either the police or the ministry of education. The Peoples Gazette asks whether the authorities cannot or will not answer. GREAT FUTURE IS SEEN HORTICrLTURAL OUTLOOK IX iOREGOX IS PROMISING. For two hours Eammon de Valera, so-called "president of the Irish re public," exhorted his hearers at the auditorium last night to believe that Ireland's cause is their own; that the "little patch of green" is seeking only that which the American colonies sought when they first broke away from Britain's domination ; that they are entitled to self-determination. The auditorium was crowded to its limit as the Sinn Fein leader arose and without any preliminaries plunged into his text. There was a certain earnestness about him which held an appeal, and time after time he was forced to pause as prolonged cheers rang through the auditorium. "What I seek in America is that the Ln ited States recognize in Ireland's case Ireland's right to national self determination; that and nothing more," was the outspoken preface to his lengthy address. "This principle of self-determination was one of the openly stated ob jects f,r which America entered the war. It is at the basis of no less than ten of President Wilson's 14 points. It was accepted by England no less than by America. 10nfclandn Claim Denied. "Even if England had any claim to Ireland, having accepted America s aid in the war on the basis of self determination for all peoples, she would now have no just cause of com plaint if America demands that she shall not be cheated out that for wh ich she poured out her blood and her treasure. But England has . no claim to Ireland. She has never held Ireland with the consent of the Irish people, but always through the exer cise of superior force." "President Ue Valera was escorted to the platform by a guard of three American sailors and three American soldiers, all in uniform. After a brisk talk by Thomas Mannix, chairman of the Portland reception committee, and the introductory talk by P. H. D'Arcy of Salem, Mr. De Valera arose and stood facing the crowded auditorium. For nearly two minutes the hall rang with cheers of greeting. As the cheering subsided, the speak er began 'talking in the Gaelic tongue. For a moment the crowd seemed to wonder if the entire talk were to be in Gaelic and relayed to them through an interpreter. But the speaker soon dispelled such fears. Gaelic Jpeih Explained. 'Tn all my meetings in this country. I begin my speech in this manner for one reason alone." he told them. "I want the people of America to under stand that Ireland Is a separate na tion with a separate language of its own." His explanation was greeted with cheers. Only once did the speaker refer to the incident of Friday when ex-service men demanded the removal of the "Irish republic" flag from the motor j car which was used for the Irish leader during his visit to Portland. He said it was the first time that such an incident occurred during his entire speaking tour of the United States. That flag is the flag of the Irish people, he emphasized. "If there is to be any right or justice at all in this world, this flag is the one which the American people -and the Ameri can government should recognize." Launching into the body of his dis course. Air. De Valera traced Ireland's fight for self-determination from its very inception, more than 760 years ago, down until the present date when the people of Ireland, by a three-to-one vote, he said, had determined to rule themselves through their own Irish republic. Ireland Crucial Teat. "Ireland is the crucial test which will show whether those who pro fessed to desire a new world order, in which government would be based on the consent of the governed, were sincere or not1 he continued. "If justice be denied Ireland it is clear that justice which plays no favorites has not yet trrump"hed. and that a common law which will respect the rights of the weak no lesa than those of the strong is as far from being recognized now as it was be fore or during the war. "If right and liberty are to be dis regarded by nations they will be die regarded by individuals and groups of individuals. If powerful states like England may be as unjust as they please, and if states like America are prevented from doing that which they consider just through fear of offend ing powerful neighbors, there is an end to all justice. Resolutions Are Adopted. Immediately after the close of the address Chairman D'Arcy read a set of resolutions which had been pre pared. protsting against the adoption of the League of Nations covenant unless self-determination for Ireland were first assured. These resolutions were adopted as the crowd arosa from ita seats and surged toward the exits. Although those in charge of the meeting assured Mayor Baker that "The Star-Spangled Banner" would be played and sung and that a tribute to the American flag likewise would be given, these two patriotic demon strationa were nearly eliminated from the programme. It was not until the crowa was iuing irom tne auditorium that the organist struck up the na- -. tlonal anthem, and those who could hear stopped and stood at attention until tha last note died away.

The vegetable exhibits included the famous Troutdale celery, as well as some from naar Salem, where there is the largest acreage in the state. Onions from the well-known onion -raising counties of Washington and Marion . were in evidence. Cabbage from the Oswego district and some attractive lettuce from the John K.o berg farm in Hood River were much admired. In the fruit display trays of apples predominated. These were arranged by colors and presented a riot of vivid hues. Different parts of the state were represented with individual ex hibits, many of these coming from former students and friends of the college. One feature of the fruit dis play was the exhibits from other states, which included many sub- tropicalfruits. Commercial Firms Represented, The horticultural products exhibi was one of the four divisions of the show. It included canned goods, dried fruits, vegetables, jams, butters and jellies. Many commercial canners and packers were represented in this uis pity. Among these were the Phe: company of Salem, Dickinson & Co. Oswego, Salem Fruit Union, Starr Products company, Weinhard com pany, Kniifht Packing company Portland, California Raisin Growers' association and E. Clemens Hors company of San Francisco, Cal.
