Watch It Rise INTEGRITY OF U. S. TO BE DEMONSTRATED This Country Must Make Self-Government Safe for Mankind." Washington, June 5. (V. P.) "This nation was kept united for the great world purpose it was meant to serve," President Wilson told the Cntted Con federate Veterans at their convention today. Rebel cheers greeted the declaration. "Love of self-government and liberty -by, the North and South was the mo tive of the Civil war," the president said. "This country must now make self-government and liberty safe for mankind." The significance of registration day wiis brought home when the president emphasized that the duty to serve and lhe privilege to serve falls on all alike. Solemn Day in Blstory "There is something fine about the spirit of volunteering, but bigger is the spirit of obligation," said the presi dent. "This is a solemn day in the history of our country," he told the veterans. 'Today 10,000.000 men are registering for duty under the Stars and Stripes. Two million of these will go abroad. They will go to fight not in a Euro pean war, as it is called,- but they will K" to fight- in an American war." Hrolo Deeds Are Recalled "I esteem it a very great pleasure and a real privilege to extend to the " men who are attending this reunion . very cordial greetings of the gov ernment of the United States," began the president. "I suppose that as 3ou mix with one another you chiefly find these to be days of memory when your thoughts go- back t,to recall those days of struggle In which your hearts were, s,tt8,tned.

You are glad to remember that heroic things were done on both sides and that men In those days fought in some thing like the old spirit of chivalry and galantry. "There are many memories of the Civil war that thrill along the blood and make one proud to have beer, one of a race that could produce such bravery and constancy; and yet the world does not live on memories.

The flower ofAmerica's young manhood en rolled forthe nation's defense today. In every hamlet where the Stars and Stripes floated proudly to the breeze long lines of stalwart young men be tween the ages of 21 and 31 registered their names as prospective soldiers to carry that flag to foreign soli and to place it In the forefront in the strug gle for human liberty. The early reports reaching the of fices of the attorney general and the provost marshal general indicated that the registration during the first few hours was very large. Little serious disorder was expected. Tlie usual fights which mark national elections were anticipated, but the elaborate pre cautions taken made any widespread anti-registration rioting Impossible. "Registrars forcing men to answer question No. 12 on the registration card are in error." said Provost Marshal General Crowder.

Jacobs, prominent real es tate operator, met death as a result of an automobile mishap Just before 11 o'clock this morning. His auto plunged over an embank ment at the head of East Twenty- fourth and the Alameda, pinning Mr Jacobs under the machine after it had rolled over his body. He was taken to the Good Samaritan hospital and died at 11:30 a. m. His neck was broken and his chest was crushed. In the machine with him was J. P. Parker, 4925 Powell valley, a salesman in the employ of the Fred A. Jacobs company. Mr. Parker wao only slight ly Injured, and after the accident, when the machine had been righted lie was able to drive it to a garage. Alive bat Unconscious The automobile came to a stop lying on Its side. Mr. Jacobs was pinned under one of tne front doors, the ma chine lying across his chest. Parker climbed out from behind the wheel, ; practically uninjured, and, running around the car, dragged out his em ployer. Mr. Jacobs was alive but uncon scious. An Ambulance Service machine bore him to the Good Samaritan hospi tal, but attempts to save his life were in vain. The windshield and top of the auto mobile were crushed, but the car was otherwise undamaged. Mr. Parker said that the brake gear had been- defective and that .he had instructed a garage man Monday night to repair the machine. , ,. The accident occurred at a point that is regarded as highly dangerous by autoists and similar affairs,, while not terminating as seriously, have oc curred there before. The accident is thought to have been caused by defective brake equip ment on the automobile. Mr. Parker was driving. The two men were go ing to look at some property in the Alameda district. Machine Stalls on Hill Halfway up the hill from Twenty fourth street to the Alameda. Parker found it necessary to shift gears, and in so doing, -t is believed the engine stalled. The car started backing down the steep pavement and when Parker endeavored to apply the emer gency brake, it did not work. Mr. Jacobs is then said to have stood up in the machine, and, reaching over, grabbed the steering wheel. In the confusion the machine backed over the low curbing and plunged 35 feet down an embankment. As the automobile dropped, Mr. Ja cobs, who was still standing in the machine, was pitched out, but fell In the path of the rolling mass and was dragged down with the wreckage. Parker remained at the wheel. Mr. Jacobs was 46 years old. At one time he was said to be the largest deal er In realty on the Pacific Coast, work ing extensively with subdivision properties. He was the first man to conduct a real estate auction in Portland. Some of the city additions developed by him were Belle Crest, Hyde Park. Wellesley, Argyle. Montclalr, Wellington, Ribe- mont.

A thrill of patriotic feeling ran through the United States senate this after noon when a gray clad Confederate veteran, with trembling voice and tear filled eyes, arose in their midst and moved that the senate adjourn out of respect to the Southern soldiers hold ing thsir reunion in the national cap ital. It was Senator Bankhead of Ala bama, who served the full four years of the Civil war. He was attired in the full uniform of a Confederate pri vate. As if to emphasize the spirit of national unity while the nation's youth is pledging itself to new service and sacrifice, the senate adjourned until Friday without a dissenting voice. "I am grateful that God has spared roe to see the day when my old com rades in arms of the Confederacy are here In the capital city of that na tion which for four years they strug gled desperately to destroy, but which none in all the great republic are now more anxious to preserve," said Sen ator Bankhead. "For four years I marched fought under the Stars and Bars. Five immediate members of my family are now enlisted under the Stars and Stripes. This will even up our rec ords.'' After the senate adjourned, hundreds of veterans from the south poured Into the senate chamber and took senators' seats. "We fought pretty liard to maintain this place; here we are at last," shout ed one battle scarred old warrior.

Every man, woman and child who enjoys the blessintJ of this commonwealth should seriously realize that he is a unit of the whole. If we do not contribute some portion at once of the prosperity which our country has made possible for us, we are not doint our share to assist our Allies, and we may suffer a defeat which will impose upon this coun try such a conqueror's indemnity as will lose our hard-won-freedom for generations. Do not forget that France paid Germany an indemnity liter 18 71 of about one billion doliars, and only a short time before the pres ent war fully liquidated this indemnity loan to their people. It is cheaper by far to win than to be defeated. There are over 100,000,000 men, women and children in this coun try, of whom it is estimated that there are more than 40 million persons engaged in gainful occupations.- - - It is vitally necessary for each of these 40,000,000 persons to real ize the danger and the opportunity and to subscribe a portion of his possessions to the Liberty Loan.
