PATRIOTISM
Grand Army Veterans Hear Speak
ers Tell Why and How America
Will Save Civilization.
The rrlm determination of the United
States to win the war was reflected
at the annual campflre of the Grand I
Army of the Republic, held In The i
Auditorium last might. After reciting
the Taluable work done to save the
Union, Judsr C. O. Burton, who pre
sided. Introduced Judge Leo Rassleur
of Missouri, who declared, in stirring
words, that with the foundation built
by the fathers who foupht the Revolu
tionary war and those who fought the
Civil war. America would establish
la the world a relsh ' Justice under
which ajl peoples shall live.
Washington Gardner of Michigan
made a plea for hacking of the boys In
France by every man. woman and child
In America, and assured his comrades
that the mission which this country
has been called upon to fulfill is a
holy one. ,
America Mont SaTe World
"It Is fortunate." he said, "that we
have entered the conflict. It is fortu
nate In one rf-spect and unfortunate In
the respect that we will have to sacri
fice lives to win. But It is the place
of America to come In to save civiliza
tion for the old world."
The Auditorium was filled to capacity
shortly after 7 o'clock and a big over
flow meeting was held on the steps
of the building, at which Mayor George
L. Baker presided. Colonel Lewis C.
Oarrlgus, former Confederate soldier,
delivered a rr.essage that rang true with
patriotic devotion for the cause of the
Union, in the earlier day and for the
cause of world civilization In the pres
ent war. Colonel Ciarrlgus spoke In part
aa follows :
"Representing the organization of
United Confederate Veterans. and,
through that organization, the whole
people of the South, I am proud to
be permitted to Join in doing honor
to you upon this occasion.
"The ambassador from Great Britain
to. France, upon the occasion of our
last nation anniversary, said to General
Pershing and other Americans as
sembled. 'I am glad that the Americans
whipped us In the Revolutionary war.'
Apd, my comrades of the Grand Army,
I can, In all candor, say to you that I
am glad that the Union arms prevailed
In the Civil war; I am glad that we'
failed to separate the states of the
American union ; I am glad that today
we are citizens of one common country
the greatest nation of the world,
which has never known defeat. In the
result of the Civil war was the building
of a nation, which, under divine provi
dence. Is to be the greatest factor In
the liberation of the peoples of the
earth.
"That you, my comrades, succeeded
tn overcoming the armies of the con
federacy redounds greatly to your
credit, and I am proud to hall you as
comrades."
v Amerlra Will Crnun Hobs
Kpeaklng on the significance of the
year 1918, former Governor Samuel Van
Zandt of Minnesota said America will
win a crushing victory with "our boys
In France having back of them the most
'glorious traditions the world has ever
known."
Mrs. Fred L,. Olson led the audience In
' the singing of ' The Star Spangled Ban
ner" at the opening of the meeting In
.The Auditorium. , Frederick W. Good
rich presided at the pipe organ. Dalsie
Wells sang the "Battle Hymn of the
Republic." Instrumental music was
rendered by the Rosarian band.
Adjutant General
Seeks Comrade Who
Was Pupil in 1861
"There Is a man somewhere around
here looking for me, who used to be
my pupil back In Oskaloosa. Iowa, In
1861-62, when I used to teach school
Just before enlisting In the army." said
Adjutant General Robert McBride Tues
day. "His name is Baker, and he Is
now a G. A. R. man and Is here to at
tend the encampment, but I haven't
seen him for 56 years, and I don't sup
pose I shall know him."
The adjutant general was waiting in
the G. A. R. headquarters at the Mult
nomah hotel for the long lost pupil. At
intervals he inquired of Miss Flood,
the commander in chiefs' secretary,
whether the man had been In yet.
"I wasn't here when he called," Mr.
McBride explained, "and I don't want
him to get away without my seeing

but they were all there. Adjutant General
Robert McBride, Judge Advocate Gen
eral Stimmell of North Dakota, W. B.
Bogardus of Mount Vernon, Iowa, and
John F. Kellar, Crookston, Neb. In 1865
they were mustered out of the service
and their ways have never led them to
gether since until Monday.
Alexander T. Vogelsang, first assist
ant secretary of the interior, arrived
in Portland Tuesday from a vacation
spent In fishing on Williams river in
Southern Oregon. In civil life Mr.
Vogelsang is a mer..ber of a Can, Fran
cisco law firm. He was appointed
solicitor for the department of the
interior In February, 1916, and later
succeeded Andraeus Jones, now senator
from New Mexico, as first assistant to
the secretary.
Charles D. Mahaffle of Portland was
appointed solicitor for the department
of the Interior following Mr. Vogelsang's
advancement.
As first assistant of the department
of the Interior, Mr. Vogelsang has
charge of the department of public
lands and of the geological survey.
While decidedly noncommital as to pro
posed plans of the administration for
the disposal of public lands, Mr. Vogel
sang predicts a rapid development of
the latent resource-: of the West, and
particularly of the lands of the Pacific
Autos, Not Rooms
Needed for G. A. R.
No more rooms are needed for G. A.
R. visitors, according to Thomas J. Swi
vel, chairman of the accommodation
committee. More offers of rooms have
now reached the Temple than can ever
be used, and persons are still telephon
ing in, wanting to open up their homes
to the veterans. Portland's offer was
so generous that instead of a room
shortage as was feared, nearly 2000 ex
tra rooms are now listed.
More automobiles are needed, how
ever, to transport the veterans on the
Columbia River highway trip Friday.
coast states, following the return of
American troops from the frefnt.
To what extent public lands will be
distributed to returned soldiers depends
upon legislation passed by congress,
but, according to Mr. Vogelsang, the
demand for some sort of land settle
ment plan is so strong throughout the
country that it is probable very liberal
offerings will be made to veterans of
the present war who wish to engage in
agriculture or stock raising.
The work of the geological survey
has to do very largely with the de
velopment of the mineral resources of
the country, and in this connection Mr.
Vogelsang pointed to the great de
mand for metals of all kinds, as an
indication of continued prosperity in
mining centers.
Mr. Vogelsang left Tuesday evening
for Walla Walla and will return to his
duties in Washington on August 26.
The New Zealand T. M. C. A, has

owns a large grain farm near Athena.
From 1883 to 1889 he was county commis

ities during the Civil war took Mr. Wal
ters to New Orleans with General Ben.
Butler in 1862. and he is ready to refute
the charge that Butler stole silver spoons
from the housewives of that city. This
charge was made against General But

seriously during his campaign for the
presidency on the Greenback ticket.
VETERAN PREDICTS

AN 'S W DS
'Unconditional Surrender,' Terms
at Vicksburg, Will Be Obeyed
by Wilhelm, Says Kellogg.
Women to Hold Open
House for Visitors
Betsy Ross Tent No. 1, Daughters of
Veterans, and Oordan Granger Women's
Relief Corps No. 3, will hold an open
house all day Thursday at room 525,
courthouse. All visitors are invited.
There will be refreshments and a program.
"Unconditional surrender."
The words of Grant at Vicksburg will
be heard and obeyed by the kaiser In
Berlin, predicts George I. Kellogg, who,
on the firing line of the great Civil war
battle was one of the first to see the
white flag come fluttering above the
works of Vicksburg.
"We were so close together that we
were hurling hand grenades back and
forth." said Mr. Kellogg, who is secre
tary of the California association of
Vicksburg veterans and who makes his
home now at Newcastle. California. He
was a member of Company A of 23d
Wisconsin Infantry.
"When the white cloth appeared over
the fort front my commanding officer
ordered, 'cease firing." Then he called
over the lines In the sudden silence,
"What do you want?"
' " 'We want to see General Grant.' the
Confederates shouted.
"Unconditional Surrender."
"Between the lines where there was
barely standing room the Confederate
comitteemen were blindfolded and thus
taken back to brigade headquarters.
then i to division headquarters and final
ly to corps headquarters. But Grant
was too busy to come. 'Unconditional
surrender," were the words he hastily
wrote on a scrap of paper.
"Those were the words : that wer .
heard around the world and that will be '
uttered with a new meaning when tha
kaiser and his Huns sue for peace.
"Two other conferences followed. The
Confederates rame- across another por
tion of the line and succeeded In reach
ing Grant. The terms finally agreed,
upon were that the Confederates -should
march out. stack their arms and go
back Into their works. When they did
so. they left 6O.000 stands of rifles and.
200 cannon. We Issued rations to 33,000
prisoners. At that time it was the
greatest surrender In the history of the
world and. strategically speaking, it
was the greatest battle of the Civil-war.
;5,0e Men Sing.
"I remember vividly." and the veter
an's still undlmtned eyes twinkled, "how'
Charles A. liana, of the New York Sun,
came to Vicksburg. He had been sent
by the President to make a report on
Grant who had been subjected to a
good deal of criticism. With the battle
well under way Grant put Dana and his
son, Fred Grant. hoard a gunboat In
the river. He asked them to stay there,
saying he had no horses for them to
ride to the action and this was literally
true. But imagine my surprise when I
saw Dana right at the front astride an
old, white, plantation horse, and Fred
Grant at his sl1e on a delapidated mule.
"When we marched Into Vicksburg
75,000 men In Grant s army were singing
as one man. 'Mine Kyes Have Seen the
Glory of the doming of the Ixrd." We
had destroyed an army of 60.000 men and .
had broken the backbone of the rebel
lion." '
More than 10.000 Rugby footballs have
been purchased by the Y. M. C. A- for
soldiers overseas.
States Societies
I Enjoy Picnic and
Reunion at Oaks

Tuesday afternoon for the G. A. R vet
erans and their families was in the na
ture of an old fashioned home town get-
together occasion. Each state society i
presided at a decorated booth, with
hostesses to Introduce the visitors.
Every member of each of the state so
cieties was asked to bring a basket of
lunch for themselves and one other, so
that the visitors were all looked .after
In the matter of "eats."' The kitchen
ette furnished hot coffee and tea for
the picnickers. Many families put their
lunches together fat one big table, the
band played all lay long, the old folks
visited and everyone was apparently
happy. '
It was Iowa society's annual picnic
day, in addition to the G. A. R. occa
sion, so the affair was doubly cele
brated, j
At night a patriotic exhibition of fire
works was shown, including Uncle Sam,
soldier boys and bombing of German
villages.
. It Is estimated hat more than 22.-
000 persons attended the picnic. The
' G. A. R; ' visitors and the younger sol
diers were admitted free.
