PEASE Distribute 110 Fifth Street More like an aggregation of- univer sity students on fho eve of the big football struggle of the season than soldiers who within a few months may bo battling on blood, sodden fields of Europe, were the 600 drafted young troopers who passed through Portland Saturday evening on their way irom their homes In Los Angeles and Pasa dena to Camn Lawis. American Lake. As thv swept, through Portland streets from the Wtation to the Mult nomah hotel, where a sumptuous sup per awaited theni, they cheered apd sang songs. Old Class and school yells were given. The.tr exuberance was overflowing. It ! seemed as though they had been chosen the lucky and favored ones to uphold the Stars and Stripes s.nd to give their lives for de mocracy. They were happy. Shako Xaads All AronaA They were heroes already to the girls and women who distributed- ap ples, candy, nuts and cigarettes to them beofra thsy left on tha. Iftst lap of the journey to the training camp. Soma one early in the line, aa they passed through the doors of the hotel, started handshaking and soon every horny-palmed rancher rom sunny Cal ifornia expanses, clerk from Bullock's, Hamburgers and other Los Angeles show stores, and smillng-faced college lads were wringing the hands of Port- land's Red Cross canteen girls, who with their free hand extended ppe of! Hood River's best. Most of the men in the crowd were a great deal below the maximum draft age and a considerable per cent were barely past voting age. Practically all of . them bore semblance mat - tney came from home where the .best things of life were at hand. A few were part owners of orange and cattle ranches and several were frora the "millionaire colony'' of Pasadena. Contingent JXas. Its "Bawg" As usual the contingent had a "dawg." This particular mascot was adorned In a blanket of especially gorg eous design. He who had the mascot In leash said that a wool blanket and covering of oilskin had been brought for the pet as protection against the northern climate. He said, however, that the blanket probably would have been more acceptable to the dog in California than in Oregon, but he till had hopes 'of being able, to use the oilskin. The men had their last meal before arriving ip Portland at Albany and ow ifiKCto. i,.fer delay they had been more than'' then accustomed time between- meals away, and if Justice was ever done to a meal it was to the one at the Multnomah Saturday evening when 500 plates were scraped clean. 600 cups of coffee drained -and 2(0 cantaloupes reduced to mere skins. , After Bating,' They Sing After the meal as many men as possible gathered around ' the piano, played by Lowell Patton of Portland, and" sang everything from Oh, Johnny' to the Sextet from Lucia de Lammer- mour." everai excellent voices were among the crowd and drew unstinted applause from everyone in the hotel lobby. - , Among those in the Hollywood j crowd was Jay Belasco, juvenile hero and comedian of many Christy com edy plots. There were also several employes of the Christy laboratories. A splendid quartet from the studio. led by Belasco, rendered songs. Be lasco was all dressed up for the occasion in his best military makeup. He said he expected to hear- the flicker of the camera again in six months, for he. beWeved the war would be over by that time." "We are in It to the finish, however, if it isn't," he said.

Candy piled high by the tubfuj filled a big corner in the canteen room in the Multnomah hotel and Is fast di minishing in Else. Cigarettes, too, have been received eagerly by the men. "Good luck to yon" went with every package. One of the men said "I'll think of this package when cigarettes are scarce and I'm wanting one over there in the trench." The 600 from Los Angeles were in town barely an hour. As soon as supper was concluded and the song sters were marshaled away from- the piano each district took its military arrangement on the street and swung away . to a waiting train, Most of the "companies" appeared to be trained to some extent in military maneuvers and looked considerably better than rookies. The girls and women who assisted Fred H. Strong, manager of the Red Cross canteen, in distributing the fruit and cigarettes to the troopers are: Mrs. K.- D. Honser, Miss Edna Menslnger.
