Let me disclaim, my friends, any far ther credit for what has been accom plished and for what we hop to ac complish In -the great task that con fronts us tn this emergency. Let me say to you that I havs had the cooper ation and effort of the great mass of the members of congress, without re gard to party ; and fn addition to that, and above and. over everything else, we have had the support ot such distin guished men as the ex-president and ex-commander in chief of the armies and navies ot the United States, and auch men as' my friend Ellhu Root. In season, . and - out - of season these distinguished gentlemen have rone out among- the .people of the country and have tried to impress upon them ana they have begun to realise, that Amer ica, for the first -time in Its history, is Involved in 'aw war which may. my friends, mean its life and its dissolu tion unless America and her allies hap pen to be successful in It.

It has to members, organized by Mayor Robert 'Whltely Jr., of this city. Its purpose is , to purchase and raise calves. The mem bers recently bought a large number of .the animals from the Kansas City stock -yards. : Because of the ' limitation upon my time, and I know you are all glad ef It. (cries of "No 1 No !") it is absolutely impossible to go into' this subject as would hv to go Into It with you and to discuss the military policy of the United States .or its lack of mili tary policy, since the earliest Revolu tionary time. It has not been the fact that we have had a faulty military policy during all of those years; it has been, my friends, that we have had no military policy, that has led us Into these troublous times and condi tlons. W are wont to talk of the magnificent courage of our forefathers. but it has often seemed to me, my friends, that the most unfortunate thing that ever happened in this country was th fact that an unorganised militia at Bunker Hill was able to defeat an organized army of Great Britain, be cause, there was then established what was later to be called the traditional policy of the United States against the organisation of a standing army, or. rather, of a trained army to be called Into service whenever the emergency required. From that day to this ths histories of our country have talked about the traditional policies of the United States, and have commended ths valor of ths Revolutionary troops. X have no dis position to criticise that statement or to question the valor th Individual valor ot the Splendid men who fought th battles of the Revolutionary days, but the lack of organization which was decried by the commanding officer then and which has been decried by them since, and has been criticised, my friends, are the troubles which confront us today ; and if their recommendation1 had been followed we not only would have had a splendid army today, but that army Would have been organized and raised under a system of universal military training that would have made us absolutely, unconquerable. Washington calfCd attention to It, and I have sometimes wondered how that distinguished commander of the American forces, with his splendid aide, Alexander Hamilton, ever had time to organize an army, because they devoted much of their time to appeals to a Con tinental congress and to the states to assist them in organizing an army that might be successful In accomplishment of victory. I wish I could go Into these matters and discuss the various battles that were fought; but, incidentally, let me tell you, my friends, that America did not owe the accomplishment of vic tory in 17SS to its own splendid army organization, but she owed it to France and th splendid efforts that France mad. With all the pacifists that are abroad tn th land, denouncing America for sending a few hundred thousand men, or a million, to France in this day of rapid transit. It Is well to remember that when America, on account of Washington's efforts, appealed to France efor assistance, they sent to us under Rochambeau five or six. thousand troops across the water, and Instead of taking them five or ten days or two weeks to reach America, they were ?? days from the time they left a French port until they landed at Newport R. I., afflicted with disease, and chased every foot of the way by a British fleet. My friends, if America had nothing else to fight for In this war but to preserve the magnificent French re public, every drop of blood and svery dollar of th treasury would b well spent for this splendid people. I am going to skip through It all. Foscause my time Is almost Up now. We have got to get out of her at t 'clock, mind you. . Traditional policy? It seems to m that a war policy called for by Wash ington and advocated by him would sustain a policy, now of training young men to do battle for their country. We have departed from traditional policy, thank God. and in the last two years w have enacted a law that; as your chairman has said, compels Americans! to know that the duties of citizenship carry with them the responsibility for service Whenever that service nappens to be heeded. The selective draft law which .has been mentioned here, put into service every man between 21 and 101 and it may be said to the credit of these young men who have been drafted that they are rendering Just as effective and Just as patriotic service as those who have volunteered. Z sometimes regret that volunteering has ever been permitted. for the reason that tn the loss that w sustain in th battles where there Is a volunteer system, as there was in Great Britain, we have a horizontal loss, tak ing the young, red-blooded people that Volunteer for service and leaving those who ought to have shared the fate of their colleagues at the first sound of war. On the other hand, under this system wf take from the walks of in dustrial and commercial and evelwday life young men of all classes, so that there is not this horizontal loss thst speak of but rather a perpendicular loss, where th high and the low, tne rich anil th poor, the professional man and the artisan, stand shoulder to Shoui der. and when losses come, the loss falls on an. every social stratum of life. Let me tell: you that we are going to extend that, w are going to com menc to train th young men from 18 to '21, so that when they become 21 we will have an army of young men to draw from from every walk of life. Rut. th nsfifista. it Is unneces sary in the United Spates to train, the young men or to have an army. My friends, there were those in Great Brit ain who said tt was Unnecessary and yet, but for the fact that repub lican France trained her young men. what would have become of France when the German forces went down and attacked her on her western front? Nothing saved her, my friends, but the universal military training which that splendid republic had In vogue. Ah my friends, let us get away from mat PI H T INDORSES NEW BILL FOR USE OF WATERPOWER Administration Measure Will Preserve to Public Their Most Valuable Asset, . Is View. DEVELOPMENT IS PROPOSED Sites Will Be Held for People and Leaser Rights Granted to Authorized Concerns. Stating that, in his belief, th water power conservation measure now pend ing before congress, will be enacted Into law, G If ford Plnchot has written a most interesting summary of th measure to the publisher bt The Journal. la bis letter he says: . The 12-year fight to keep th nation's water power from capture by th power monopolists Is at last on the verge of being won. The administration water power bill, now before congress, opens the way to save for the people ot th United States their most valuabl natu ral asset. Some fifty million water horsepower Is at stake. "The bill in question was formulated under the direction of th secretary of agriculture, the secretary of war and the secretary of the interior, was sub mitted to th president for his approval. ana recently put forward as an admin' lstratlon measure. It deals with water power In national forests, public lands. Indian lands and navigable streams. A special committee of th hous has been created to consider it Wise Provisions Incorporated "It is an admirable measure, drawn with thorough knowledge and unusual skill. The principles essential forthe wise use and development of our public water powers In the publlo interest are all embodied to It.

Donald Skene- Donald Skene of Portland, who was a member of the Tale ambulance unit in service of the French before the United States entered the war, is expected to arrive in Portland soon on a visit to his parents. Dr. and Mrs. W. H. Sken. Mr. Skene aimed no for a oerlod ef six months with the Tale unit, but when America declared war on Germany the members were given an opportunity by th French government to offer th.elr services to their own country. The Portland boyhas been offered a lieutenancy In the French army and also that of staff interpreter. In a letter to his parents, however, he declares he in tends to enter either the aviation corps or the artillery of Uncle Sam.

Clsbs WIU'Be A tied te Aid All dvio clubs in Portland will b asked to appoint a member to serve on the committee and other men who have evinced an interest in fir prevention work In the past will also be chosen for th 1911 committee. Vigorous fir prevention campaigning in roruana was inaugurated in 111! un der' the leadership of Former Fire Mar shal J. W. Stevens, who la now in dim ot ths fir prevention and arson work for the underwriters In ail coast states, Portland has a record of a per capita Cr loss for th year HIT of IS cent compared to the average per capita loss ef clUe te th UnlUd State t tUft, Th campaign was first suggested by promlaont busln ma ef th otty who attracted th attention ef fir officials. This was In 11&. after Portland had suf fered a fir loss rlnr m of I1.TI7.- s.. or a per capita loaa of IS.7B. Marly three time th per capita toss Cor titles ue united SUtes which waa given aa 1141 lsr Capita Lett Tartst During the four years toreeedlnc 1114. th per capita lo ta Portland varied from $S.U in 1111 to 94.11 In 1110. By conducting adneatlonal eamnaltna la th school, training th asslstan-r marshals to make thorough Inspections, the fire loss was reduced materially during the eight months ot 111- during which the fire prevention campaign was conducted. During the year llll. the first full rear of fire prevention. tl.S2T buildings were inspected and the per capita Ore wast was reduced to 11.71. as compared with th average for citiee In the United States of $1.10 for the same year. The need ot conservation ot food and the neoeattty ot precautionary measures against arson because ot the war has added much Impetus to the Or preven tion program for this rear.

Cora- misaioner BIgelow Is planning to Intro- auce an ordinance fixing liability (or tire due to carelessness or neglect. If the cooperation of every dtisen of Portland can be secured. Fire Marshal Ureal all and other Ore denartment of rioiais are confident that Portland can approach the low average per capita fir loss ot European city, which has been averaged at 13 cents per capita. Another advantage to fire prevention is the opportunity for material in gs by all property owners in insurance. Commissioner BIgelow believes the fire prevention work already accomplished in Portland may result in a survey of Insurance rates here with the reduction of loses and hasards, Mr. BIgelow feels that Portland will be given a greatly re duced Insurance premium rat.
