Thousands of happy Port landers'
temporarily forgot the high cost of

masse, crowding the sidewalks and
thronging the streets to cheer the
paraders In olive drab, navy blue.
Red Cross costumes and mufti in the
first annual celebration of the sign

Throughout the crowds were uniforms
"re.acuVd from the mothballs to which
they had neon consigned for many
months, uniforms and parts of uni
forms who cared about the papjea of
regulations that had been recited In
training camps? There were Boy
Scouts carrying flags and boasting of
their older brothers who had been "over
there."
; There were groups of girls, waving
rattlers and beating tin cans ; automo
biles bedecked in flags and emblems
of the allies; bicycles and machines
trailing varied assortments of cans that
rattled and banged on the P"'yrrcf'Rfc.. ,
There was no strain on the faces 'oi
the oelebrators this year. The cheering
and the shouting did not reflect the
worry that perhaps during the last few
weeks some son, brother, husband or
friend had "gone west" over there.

Local Campaign Stimulated by
Subscriptions of $1000 Each
From Prominent Men.
Before noon today approximately
110.000 had been given or pledged
by leading citizens of Portland, in
response to the S. O. S. flashed de
spairingly throughout the city for
assistance in the annual membership
drive of the American Red Cross.
This was the report made by Robert
H. Strong, chairman of the "flying
squadron" appointed Monday by di
rectors of the Red Cross to make a
last effort to put the drive "over the
top" and uphold the record that
Portland bears throughout the coun
try in her war drives.
BENSOV GIVES FIRST CHECK
The first check received was from S.
Benson, amounting to $1000. and he told
members of the "flying squadron" that
he felt it would be a blot upon the name
of Portland If the city failed to con
tribute necessary funds.
Two other checks, each bearing the
figures $1000. were also turned over to
the committee, the donors being busi
ness men. A wire was received from
Robert N. Stanfleld In eastern Oregon
saying he was surprised to read news
paper reports of Portland's failure in
tJie drive and stating he was mailing a
Substantial donation.
Other checks from $100 to $500 were
turned over without hesitation and
pledges for , thousands promised on
Wednesday w ith the resumption of busi
ness. RED CROSS NEEDS $130,000
The Red Cross needs the $120,000,
which constitutes its quota in the
present drive. Soldiers in the city at
the present time without employment
number 3000. These must be taken care
of by the Red Cross and the funds to
do so available are sufficient for only
another month.
Soldiers, sailors and marines started
in force from Liberty Temple under the

returns were promising. One hundred

Fellow Coun
trymen: A
year ago to
day our en
emies laid
down their
'r Jk arms in ac-
c3 cordance with
fjk'f I an armistice
I""1 -jjr which ren
dered them impotent to re
new hostilities and gave to the
world an assured opportunity to
reconstruct its shattered order
and to work out in peace a new
and juster set of international
relations. The soldiers and peo
ple of the European allies had
fought and endured for more
than four years to uphold the
barrier of ciilization against the
aggressions of armed force. We
ourselves had been in the con
flict something more than a
year and a half.
With splendid forgetfulness of
mere personal concerns, we remod
eled our industries, concentrated our
financial resources, increased our
agricultural output and assembled
a great army, so that at the last
our power was a decisive factor in
-the victory.
. We were able to bring the, re
sources, material and moral, of a
great and free people to the assist
ance of our associates in Europe
who had suffered and sacrificed
without limit in the cause for which
we fought.
Out of this victory there arose
new possibilities of political free
dom and economic concert. The
war' showed us the strength of great
nations acting together for high
purposes and the victory of arms
foretells the enduring conquests
winch can be made In peace when
nations act justly and in further
ance of the common interests of
men.
To us in America, the reflections
of Armistice day will be filled with
solemn pride in the heroism of
those vwho died in the country's
service and with gratitude for the
victory, both because of the thing
from which it has freed us and be
cause of the opportunity it has
given America to show her sym
'pathy with peace and justice in the
councils of ' nations.

By General John J. Pershing
Was hington,
Nov. 11. On
this first anni
versary of the
armistice that
brought fighting
to an end on the
western front
we recall with
gratification the
service of the
army and the
country in the
war. The great
army of young
manhood known
as the American
expeamotiary forces was hurriedly
raised, equipped and trained to meet
a grave world crisis. Composed of
youth selected for their physical and
their mental fitness if was developed
into as fine a body of men as the
world has ever seen.
The force played a decisive part in
the war and demonstrated that while
we are not a military nation the
American boy has In him those quali
ties that go to make up a perfect
soldier. The achievements of our
troops on the battlefields of France
have become a part of our history
and need not be again recounted
here.
Their patriotism prompted a spirit
of self sacrifice unequaled, their
services have preserved our .ideals
and our institutions.
Our armies have been (demobil
ized and our citizen soldiers have
returned again to civil pursuits
with assurance of their ability to
achieve the rein In the success
they attained as soldiers, thus
bringing a new asset to the nation.
With broadened visions they return
not only with pride in the high
standards of American manhood,
but with a new conception of its
relations to the duties of citizenship.
As we pay tribute to oyr fighting
men, we remember iiat solidly
behind them stood the American
people with all our resources and
our determination. This common
service has welded together our
people. These experiences safe
guard the future of America and
enable us to look forward confi
dently to the development of- a
stronger nationality and a deeper
sense of the obligations that rest
upon us.
The exercise by the American
people of practical patriotism dur
ing, the-war was an avowal of our
firm adherence of the principles

"France will never forget the de

unanimous yesterday in declaring against
the flood of automobile accidents that
threaten the life and limbs ofihundreds
of Portlanders as automobiles and pop

years. Statistics prove that one of every

smashups in 1919. With a forecasted
increase of between 10,000 and 15,000
automobiles for 1920, there would be
more than 2500 additional accidents next

On those days safety programs would be

Our Dead Overseas
(Copyright. 1919, by International News Service.)
New York, Nov. 11. (I. N. S.) Edwin Markham, famous American
poet, author of the "Man With the Hoe," today, at the request of the
International News Service, penned the following touching lines as a
mark of honor on Armistice day to the American dead in France. Mr.
Markham is a native of Oregon, having been born in Oregon City.
By Edwin Markham
They sleep; they took the chance
In Italy, in Belgium, in France;
For us they gave their youth to its last breath
For us they plunged on into the Gulf of Death.
With high heroic heart,
Thev did their valiant part: ,
They gave the grace and glory of their youth
To lie in heaps uncouth;
They turned from these bright skies
To lie with dust and silence on their eyes.
Yet they have wages that we know not of
Wages of honor and immortal loe,
For they went down only to live again
In the eternal memory of men
To he warm pulse beats in the greatening soul
Thai drives the blind world onward to her goal.
They are not dead life's flag is never furled
They pass from world to world;
Their bodies sleep, but in some nobler land
' Their spirits march under a new command;
New joys await them there
Jn hero heavens wrapt in immortal air.
Rejoice for them, rejoice!
They made the nobler' choice.
How shall we honor their deed;
How speak our praise of their immortal breed?
Only by living nobly as they died
Toiling for Truth denied,
Loyal to something bigger than we are
Something that swings the spirit to a star.

of this country "and a thorough house

Another verbal fight is anticipated
over the bonus problem. Many of the
delegates favor the "adjustment of pay"
of the American soldiers, sailors and
marines at an amount fixed by the
legion and submitted to congress. Oth
ers say "Let congress fix the amount."
California's fight for anti-Japanese
legislation was another knotty problem
which the legion expects to taeKie late

eral western states, the California rep-
resentatives are prepared to go the limit
in . urging the adoption of a resolution
asking the abrogation of the so-called
