Message Delivered to United
Veterans of Confederacy
Throws Further Light on
Country's Aim in War.
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. In
which the whole nation' " seemed In
gVapple. and I dare say that you aw
thrilled as you remember the heroic
things that wer then done. 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.
Passions of Division Buried

That's the spirit of St. Louis

registered early only five

Washington, June 5. (I. N. S.) 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

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

members of the executive committee.
The time between now and June 18,
when the drive will begin, will be used
in getting ready for the quest for do

Selection of Mr. Ayer as general
chairman came as a result of the sug
gestion of the national war council
meeting in Portland Monday, namely,
that jione of the m03t representative
citizens in the community be picked
for this work. Mr. Ayer was the
unanimous choice of the leaders In the
movement. He accepted the place with
the statement that the call to service
was a call no patriotic person could
.well afford to turn down.
Work Son Without Charge
Elaborate plans for covering the city
are to be made; telephone books will
be cut up, city directories will be
slashed and the names of every person
will be distributed among the team
captains. There will be no duplication
of effort. The women will work among
their own sex.
Liberty bonds will be accepted ad
donations. All workers will serve free
of charge, and daily reports of tne
progress of the drive will be rendered.
Headquarters of the drive wil be in
the Morgan building.

mah county is $400,000.
Throughout the state each commu
nity will have as chairman of the
local committee the biggest man in
heart, patriotism and executive abil
ity of that community. Teams will be
organized in accordance with the size
of the community. Committees on
publicity, headquarters and meetings
and office administration will be
created. All preliminary work will be
done systematically; all possible in
formation will be gotten Into the
hands of the people; when committees
call there should be but one thins

Fred A. 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,

Veterans Are
Shown Honor
Senate Adjourns Oat of Respect-
Senator Bankhead, Alabama
Veteran Makes Motion.
Washington. June 5. (I. N. S.) 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.

Astoria, Or., June 5. That the big
yards of the McEachern Ship company
on Young"s bay have been sold by the
A, O. Andersen Steamship company to
Max H. Houser of Portland, well known

It is asserted that the deal was
closed Monday, an4 that the new ow n

cured, and the report could not
verified at the yards. The new own

WHY YOU SHOULD SUBSCRIBE
VA big loan will shorten the war, will help to save life, and mill -help
to save civilization."
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.
It is said that if every individual in the United States should sub
scribe to the Liberty Bonds to the extent of only S'c of his or her total
possessions, the loan will be subscribed six times over.
