delivered today at the opening of the
congress of national service. The con-
fress, which la under auspices of the
council of national defense, will be la

lords, still fighting, not on their own
soil, but that of their enemies, hearten
themselves In the belief that this Is but
a temporary device.
Problem to Awaken the People
"Our answer should be a permanent
law providing- for universal military
training. We do not deserve our liber
ties unles we are willing, rich and
poor alike, to pay some price for them.
"Germany's main hope now Is that she
can crush the allies before we san send
sufficient men to the western front to
check her. With universal military
training we shall have security for the
future. We shall have a finer man
hood and a better citizenship and we
shall have taken the most promising
. measure possible against future wara"
Former President Taft, who was to

n Interview that the meeting here is
the most Important undertaking In win

"I don't think there Is anything more
Important." he said, "than maintaining
. the morale of our people behLnd the
army. We've got to tell them about
the war and its importance. The great
problem is to awaken the people and
uiven xneir attention from tneir own
particular purposes."

'Dollar Day' Real
Bargain Occasion
Increased Iadattrlal Activity Credited
for Event Resulting in Heavier Trade
Than Tear Ago in Portland Stores.
"Dollar day," observed Wednesday In
Portland mercantile circles, was a much
bigger event than last year,- according
to opinions expressed by merchants.
They attribute it to the fact that
money Is more plentiful this year than
last, due to better limes resulting from
Increased Industrial activities.
Another thing : Every store gave real
bargains. There was nothing "pinch
and cinch" about the observance. The
real values and the real qualities were
there.'
"If w don't giv honest bargains.
Dollar day would cease to be an annual
event," said one merchant.
