Marching CI V) PICTURE OF HUMAN ROSEBUD PARADE BIG PAGEANT OF CHILDHOOD, GAY Grand Avenue Is Jammed With Thousands as Portland Boys and Girls March Happily in Pretty Costumes Which Ri val the Rainbow and the Flowers of the Field Grace-, ful Evolutions Performed Between Banks of Spectators. A garden, a florist's shop, a hothouse, a country meadow. Grand avtnue seemed all of these this morning when Portland school children passed In review in the annual children's or human rosebud parade of the Hose Festival. It was the first llg event of the 1916 fiesta, last night's ceremonies being purely preliminary, and Grand avenue was Jammed with thousands from East Madison to Holladay. Turning into the broad avenue from Kast MadiBon street, the big pageant of childhood passed northward, a gay streamer of dancing colors, a prolonged not of stirring music, a perfect forest of little legs. ' Colors Are Radiant. Bits of tinsel flashed In, the sun; the radiant colors of the flowers of the field caused the rainbow to Mush with mortification. The procession started promptly at 10 o'clock and took about 60 minutes to pass a given point. It was much shorter than in past years due to a -radical change in organization. In stead of the half hundred schools par ticipating individually children from only IS BChools took part. Instead of a conglomeration of features there were two basic Ideas, flags and flowers. There were flag children and flower children. Jitar the beginning of the pageant was a ha man flag made of 3 75 chil dren from the Sunnyside school, each child an Integral part, a unit In a red tripe or a white s'ripe. or a blotch of blue, or again one of the 48 stars. Then there were marching groups of youngsters, girls snd boys in red caps, who carried small flags and waved them in unison. Boss airls Full of Beauty. And of course there were Robert ' Krohn's rose girls; no children's pa rade would be complete without them. There was a folk dance section with a bevy ot frauleins In black bodices and vividly colored dresses and there was p. May pole section with fairy bal lets dancing about each pole, their fluffy pink skirts bubbling around the garland hung poles like roseate foam. But the little flower children best expressed the spirit of the pageant, ; ' for children after all are flowers and are like- flowers. They bud and they bloom, t i There' -were sunflowers, plain and . eld fashioned Just as they grow by the back fence. And there were orange popples, blue for-get-me-nots, pink roses, cerise pop- ' p!es, yellow chrysanthemums, purple violets, sweet peas, red roses and cherry blossoms.

Queen Muriel was there and so was King Joy,' and the dowager queen and royal suite. The Hosarians acted as an escort, marched at the head' of the divisions and the boy scouts in their brown uniforms brought up at the rear. Most children took part in the hu man daisy field, a full 1000 of them, each representing a daisy, a flower more beautiful to many than the rarest orchid. When they passed, Grand avenue was turned into a veritable countiy side sprinkled with daisies. Spectators Throng- the Street. The day was ideal, as was attested by the crowd.

The Slandard today prints an unconfirmed story that 12 survivors of the cruiser Hampshire, which sunk with Bar! Kitchener arid his entire staff, hav been picked up. No details are given as to where the rescue was made or of the identity of those saved from the d'saster. London, June 7. (V. P.

Political Straggle Possible. There is possibility of a political struggle in the background concerning the appointment of his successor. This lies in the fact that some believe the post should go to a civilian, while oth ers are for the appointment of a mili tary man, preferably Sir William Rob ertson, chief-of-staff. He could not serve as secretary of state for war without being raised to the peerage or occupying a seat in the house of com mons. One commoner has already ex i pressed willingness to yield his seat to Robertson. Still a third way would be to appoint a peer, with th under standing that Robertson have full sway. Lloyd-George, minister of mun:tlons. Is one civilian who has been spoken of for the place. Klgld Internment Urged. The demand for the internment of aliens grows out of the fact that thv belief is almost Britain-wide that the Germans knew exactly of the move ments of Lord Kitchener. The Morn ing Post saye: "Circumstances point to espionage or treachery and the country will suspect this the more owing to the singular freedom still allowed to enemy subjects of Great Britain." The Northclifle group of newspa pers urge that internment of persons of belligerent origin take place at once. The Northcllffe papers, in they edi torials on Kitchener, the man, are in accord with all others in their warm (Concluded on Page Two.

Roaring forth a mighty chorus of "We Want Teddy" and following up their slogan with the rousing strains of "Onward Christian Soldiers," the Progressive national convention in the Auditorium here today snapped out de fiance to the traders who want to see Theodore Roosevelt's chances for tne presidential nomination bartered for the Republican harmony.

Roosevelt was given the greatest ovation ever accorded an American. It began at 1:02 o'clock and., continued without interruption until :38 o'clock, when the attempts of Temporary Chairman Robins to restore order were finally successful. Hone Will Do But Teddy.

Cold blooded and unemotional materialism featured the opening of the Republican national convention here today. There was no enthusiasm, and for a mighty good reason. The delegates t were sooereu u a defirtete and complete realization that the outcome of their deliberations might again spell defeat. Thev were face to face with an ultimatum f rom the Progressives a demand tha'. they accept Colinel Theodore Roosevelt as their nominee or encounter a condi tion which makes almost certain tno reflection of President Woodrow Wil son. But the temper of the delegates re mained unchanged. This progres sive ultimatum failed to arouse their ire. Instead they went about perfect ing their temporary organization in a sober, perfunctory manner. The "old guard" is still in control and its members never get excited or make a show of their feelings. The "old guard" also has decided, or at least they say and infer as much, that Iho colonel cannot dictate to them so far as his own nomination is con cerned. They maintain that they made al necessary concession when they h.gnified their willingness to allow the Sage of Oyster Bay to nominate the Republican candidate provided it ii st.me man other than Roosevelt him self.

He got orlef but hearty we' come from the shivering crowd, but It wasn't long before his staccato shafts struck a responsive chord, and the audience started to thaw out.

It wasn't until Temporary Chairman Harding had gotten well along In his keynote speech that the air really warmed up. The Ohloan, reputed to be one of the handsomest men in the United States, senaee, a polished speaker, drew the first old-fashioned, halt-rocking, spon taneous applause, when, having warmed up himself and warmed his rttln-soaked audience, he pleaded for a navy "that fears none in the world." "Applause that lasted througli half a minute greeted his declaration thsj the United States should -not - be "too proud to fight." . ." Harding greeted "an audience that was wet and cold, freezing with ap proaching colds and uncomfortable In the musty atmosphere of the grea-t hall. He got merely a polite reception at. first, but as his polished phrases sank Into the audience, he gradually warmed the sir. Ho Slrn of Agreement.
