Although the crowds along the way were enthusiastic, there was no disorder and the police ar rangements prevented Intrusions on the line of march. Big Crowd Xs Happy. It was a happy crowd, made up of all sorts of elements, but united in the one Idea of "seeing Teddy." There were Jo vial remarks, cheers and oxclamatlons. Little girls and boya were lifted high on the shouldera of their elders to secure a better view. And the climax came when the colonel'? automobile swept Into the sea of faces of the admiring school children of the west side, grouped on Yamhill etreot between Fourteenth and Seventeenth. This section of the line of march was traversed twice by the colonel's party In going to and returning from Multnomah field. From Fourteenth the line turried to Jefferson, cast on Jefferson to Flth. down Fifth to Madison, and thence east over the Hawthorne bridge.

The reports of both de partments said that In 108 American shipbuilders reported that Argentina had appropriated f 11.000.000 for two bat tleships and that they, the American firms, could compete with foreigners in seeking the orders except for the fire control and torpedo tubes. Becretsry Knox at that time referred the matter to the naval bureau of ord nance, and as a result of an exchange of communications with Argentina the navy department supplied general plana of battleships 84 and 35, which were ul timately ordered of the American build ers. ,- The reports say that the ships were to be built with tho strict sssurance that the naval secrets supplied were to be held confidential. Fire control plans were also given to the shipbuilders. Government money Spent, That American government money ac tually was expenaed to build the Ar gentina battleships was admitted In a part or the reports, which aald that two under Water torpedoes were constructed In the Washington navy yard In order to keep the plans for the tubes out of the bands of the privato builders. Explaining the government action, the state department's report On the affair said that It waa deemed Incumbent upon the department to "do everything pos sible to "encourage tho spread of American trade." and that nothing had been done which was not the "Invaria ble practice of the governments of all really commercial nations." Explanation Xs scad. In their report of the affair to Secre- j tary of the Navy Meyer, officials of the uurcsu oi urainnce excusea tneir action by quoting the secretary as having rec ommended that the government designs for the torpedo tubes and fire control should be given for use in the Argentine ships if assurance wsre given that the i Interests of the country would be pro tected. The bureau's report said: "The spe cific designs requested, being strictly confidential, the bureau takes especial care to prevent them becoming pubfie property, but the bureau recommends private secretary, but the deal has been switched.
