2' THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. MONDAY, ' JANUARY ' 19, 1920. 1 i- t V 1 ! PERSHING SUES UN-AMERICANISM BEFORE BIG CROWD Auditorium Audience i Gets First- ' . , ... hand View of Famous Warrior and Hears Him Flay Slackers. "? More, than 7000 persons at The Auditorium Sunday eight heard Oeneral John J. Pershing commend preparedness, flay un-Americanism, and . promise to visit Portland, if possible, during the next Rose Fes tival. They cheered when he demanded de portation for foreigners who choose not to learn the English language, and they shouted approval when he declared that American youths should have military training. Direct, exact, unemotional, Pershing for 23 minutes expressed the opinions gained through two years' service as commander of the American Expedition ary forces. "Preparedness for war to me means the same thing as insurance on a house," be said. "Wars come to us whether we want them or not. We should give our young ; men a certain amount of military train ing, so that they may not have to face duties of which they know nothing. W had to send divisions Into battles overseas without as much training as we wanted. I hope never again will it be jtfie lot of a commander to do that. PREPAREDNESS IS TjBGED "Nor should we stop with the training of our young men. We should organize transportation, commerce and Industry, so that they would be ready for war." Society has not yet reached the place where there will be no more wars. Per shing believes. He toM a newspaper man before the meeting that prepared ness should block any move that may some time Involve America. It was this belief that prompted his expression at The Auditorium on preparedness. "America's boys have returned from overseas willing and eager to assume the obligations of citizenship," the gen eral said. "No one csn be more willing than these ex-service men to maintain the integrity of our government and the prinolples upon which it was found ed. "Through the American Legion they will perpetuate and transmit to pod terity the Ideals for which they fought They are to carry on a propaganda against unrAmerlcanism. RADICALISM IS DENOUNCED "We have in America a situation that is hard,, to meet," Pershing said, ap proaching a plea for the extermination of radicalism. . "Aliens have been permitted to segre gate themselves away from Americans. Agitators thereby gain footholds. They conduct an organised propaganda against American Institutions. : "Are we going to stand by and permit that sort Of thing?" The crowd, yelled "No!" for answer. "I think not," Pershing commented. "We . should ' educate these people. They should be given sufficient time to learn-.Xha JEagllsh language and prln .. elple of- American government ; If they ' don't; "deport them ! - "W 'often hear that the laboring peo ;ple are. stained with this taint. It Is rnot so; ' The laboring people stood be ;hlnd the ttovernment during the war, and they will do so again if necessary." Big' Ovations and receptions all along : !iiS' itinerary, Pershing does not believe, are for himself and party alone. "t do not consider this reception for myself and staff alone," he said at The Auditorium, "but for the fine young manhood that formed the great Ameri can army in Europe which I had the honor to command." Pershing was Introduced by Major W. f. Gilbert of Astoria, senior chaplain In the First army, A. E. F. Mayor George Ti.

Mayor Baker said as he brought forward -year-old Jean Abercromble, daughter of Captain Charles' H. ' Abercromble. "She wants to present these Columbia roses to her daddy's' chief over there." ' Jean, dressed in white, was almost hidden behind the big bouquet, Shyly she approached tbe general and gave bim the flowers. He gave the flowers to 'his aide and took the little girl In his arms. His face twitched slightly wijh amotion and then ho drew her close, kissed her and whis pered his thanks In her ear. Then he escorted her down from the platform. The touching bit brought cheers from the audience. The audience numbered 7222, accord ing to announcement of Hal M. White, manager of The Auditorium. ROSE' CITY CAPTURED BY "BLACK JACK" (Continued From Pace One) National Guard was standing at strict attention. Police Lieutenant Fred West, a captain in the A. E. F.. was at the head of a platoon of patrolmen, ex service men every, one. The guard of honor, composed of soldiers, sailors and marines from Portland recruiting sta tions, was ready to escort its chief through Portland's cheering thousands. "Fine bunch of men," he said. 15 THE OLD TEHTH Here Sergeant Joseph White, retired, and recently returned from overseas dity. elbowed his way toward Per shing. Resplendent was the old negro soldlenl with the campaign riDDona ana nnusa of many rears' service on his breast. General" he said, i was in me Tenth cavalry when you were a first lieutenant." That so?" said Pershing, as he en thusiastically clasped the other's hand. Where V . . White served under Feramng in on Grant, Arisona. He was formerly a memoer 01 wm Danv H. Ninth U. & cavalry, and also of the Tenth cavalry. He was Pershing s orderly when the young ueuienam was given active assignment in the regular army. Sergeant White was with him also at the University of Nebraska but retired after 17 years' service. It was a great privilege lor me to meet General t'erening again, aaiu White. Then he stepped into his motor car. the first of the procession Behind an escort of guardsmen, soldiers and BiS Scouts. From windows came cries or Attaboy! Women wavea nana Ker chiefs ; boys followed alongside the offi cial car, hungrily noting every point that made Pershing the handsomest al lied general. But. though he responded wholeheart edly, enthusiastically, nbne pleased him more than lZ-year-oia irotny tiaw- kins of 1205 East Pine street. Dorothy stood on Morrison street between Third and Fourth streets. When Pershing's car was opposite her, she broke through the lines, climbed up on the , running- board next to the general, and handed lira a box of candy. STANDS FOR AMERICANISM Oh. general, this is the happiest mo ment of my life," she stammered. F6r answer, Pershing took off bis cap and kissed her. More than 3000 ex-service men and women, veterans from tnree American wars, were waiting at the Armory when the former A. E. F. commander stepped to the frrfht of the speakers' balcony. His 20 minute talk bristled with pleas for true Americanism. We should "educate children and grownups in American principles. We should teach foreigners the Eng lish language. And if within a .reason able time they show no Inclination to learn, there Jjl a remedy commonly known as deportation." The crowd yelled its approval for 15 seconds. He paid a tribute to Oregon's soldiers. "The men who came from this part of Oregon were second to none," he de clared. "I need point only to the 91st division to prove how valiantly the American soldier fought. X TALKS WITH THOUSANDS After the Armory meeting, he met nearly every person who heard his speech. He kept up a running fire of questions and , salutations. "I hope you will get well soon." "Is there anything I could do for you?" Where were you wounded?" "How long' have you been in the hospital?" he asked wounded soldiers who took his hand. Veterans of the Spanish-American and the Civil wars he especially congratu lated. 'The town keeps up its reputation for good looking girls," he commented after several Portland young women had shaken his hand. Outside the Multnomah hotel, where he rested briefly before going to Van couver, he saw a young woman -run toward him to take a kodak picture. "Get it?" he smilingly asked. With Colonel Francis J. Koester. com mander of Vancouver barracks, the gen eral motored to the Washington post. more lor tne exercise than anything else Vancouver barracks was not on his in spection schedule. TIRES FELLOW OFFICERS His chauffeur was W. J. Stephenson or roruana. formerly a sergeant, first class. In the army, and chauffeur over seas for Major General Mason M. Pat rick, A. E. F., air service commander. He walked for an hour around the army post. His brisk stride "got" sev eral of the officers who accompanied htm. They did not know that Pershing sometimes warns 10 miles at a brtsk pace, and never feels the effect. Then he came back to town and went to his private car for a Arief rest "I am touring the country Inspecting tne Dig cantonments built In wartime to determine their disposition.' he said. parrying queries of newspaper men I am a soldier. Any comment on na tional Issues must be made by those in autnonty. Pershing left for Seattle late at night There he will inspect the coast defenses and Jump to Camp Lewis.

Army Commander Finds Best Type of Americanism Here; Warrior Guest at Banquet "There has been a deeper and more sincere brand of patriotism shown with each move I have made westward and now that I'm nearly as far west as I can go, I can truth fully say that In Portland I have found the most sincere patriotism yet brought to my notice in this country." Prefacing his speech with this remark. General John J. Pershing spoke before about 500 people at the banquet given in his honor in the main dining room of the Chamber of Commerce Sunday evening. Embowered In a setting of the na tional colors with an accompaniment of musical selections played by an orches tra directed by George E. Jefferey. the banquet was probably one of the most brilliant affairs ever held in the cham ber's rooms. After a day filled with plenty of ex ercise. Pershing ate heartily and then Just as heartily expressed his pleasure in being on the Pacific coast once more and at the same time being in Portland. Ha was introduced by H. B. Van Duzer. president of the Chamber of Commerce, with the following words : 'It must have been apparent to the general that, as he passed through the arious functions this afternoon, the warmth of feeling expressed, by Ore gonlans was not - entirely because he represented the command of the Amer ican army, but because of the man who rose in the time of his country's need and delivered the goods." As Pershing arose to give his address, small body of former University of Nebraska students, with whom he was associated as cadet drill master, gave the yell of their college days. OREUOX WAR WORK LAUDED "It is with pleasure that I make the assertion," said Pershing, "that the peo ple of Portland and Oregon did more than their share in the successful con duction of the war. You not only more than supported and pushed over the top evejy Liberty loan and war auxiliary fund drive, but you did many things that it was impos sible for other places to do. I speak of spruce production and shipbuilding. By far the greatest contribution, how ever, was patriotism. I sincerely hope that the state of un preparedness with which we entered the last war will be a lesson to Amer icans everywhere. In the next war we probably will not have Triendly allies to hold the line while we prepare. I believe in training all of our youth for a period of from four to six months, this service sot placing any obligation on the indi vidual unless congress calls him to the country's defenae. TELLS OF OFFENSIVE 'I would not advocate the German type of militarism, but a commonsense type of intensified training so that the country would be prepared for emer gency. 'There were bo many phases to the war that it is hard to select any par ticular phase to discuss, but as I have experienced a greater freedom with each move I have made westward, I can not speak with greater freedom about the final campaign of the war." Pershing then told how the selection of the Meuse-Argonne salient came about; of the 47 day offensive on that front, in which America's best troops were pitted against 44 divisions of the best Boldlery of the German army, con cluding with these words : '"We started the offensive September 26, we reached Sedan, we severed ihe German line of communication and then Germany sued for peace. The rest you know. mese courtesies I accept in the name of the American boys who formed the greatest army to my knowledge, and which I had the honor to com mand."

POLITICAL BOSS AIDED In purpose and effect, it would make it possible for the resurrected political boss to reach. into the voting booths to guide the pencils of "persuadable" vot ers north of Burnside street In Port land, and in every other like section of the state. An interesting sidelight in the history of the bill is that it made its aupearabce after a midnight session of theiudlciary committee of the senate, nd on tbe same evening that R. N. Stanfleld, po tential candidate for the Republican nomination for the United States sen-1 atorship, made bis appearance at the Marion hotel. . Beyond this, it was current political gossip that the measure Is the result, in part, at least, of word sent to the inside circle of the Republican state central committee from Will Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee at Washington. Whether this- be true or otherwise, the rumor Is 'supported by the fact that Mrs. George McMath, repre sentative of' the women's division of the national committee, was sent to Salem to lobby in the interest of the measure practically coincident with its appear ance in the legislature. Still further confirmation comes from the fact that Jack Day, chalfman of the Republican county committee of Mult nomah county, came to Salem to see the bill safely through both houses. Day and Mrs. McMath both had been sched uled to take the trip to San Francisco with the rest of the delegation of party leaders to attend the Western confer ence called In that city by National Chairman Hays. Day did not go, at the last moment announcing that "important" business prevented his making the trip. Mrs. McMath made no announcement, but did not go. The straight ballot bill came into the senate Judiciary committee late Friday night. It was railroaded through the senate Monday morning and again jammed through the house during the closing hours of the session. Contrary to the rules both of house and senate. the printed bills required to be on the de8laof all members before considera tion by the house and senate rules, were not ready when the measure came up for final action. It was voted on, as a matter of course, under the whip of the organisation. The same bill, to all practical intents and purposes, had been Introduced In nearly every session of the legislature since the enactment of ths direct prl SHOWS START A.JL, 1P.SL.S, 5, 7andP.M. mary law and has been consistently de feated by all legislatures prior to -the present time. " V ! ' ". ' BOADjMEASCRES BWALXOTVIir The road bills which arc- supposed to be under the shadow of the executive axe are those which oompose the ava lanche started when Pat Gallagher brokft, the state highway map by se. curing the passage of a bill designating a section of county road In Malheuv county as a part of the state blghwa system. Fallowing the paisag of this measure by both house and senate, a long list of similar road measures made gnetr appearance in the senate. All were passed, amidst laughter and confusion, and eentover to the house, which swal lowed them whole without chewing. The Oregon highway system as mapped out by the sesslorPof 1917 Is of such scope that It will require an' ap proximate expenditure of 160.000.000 to complete it. Even with the 4 . per cent amendment submitted by "the present session finally approved bj ths people, the state will be shy .approximately $20,000,000 in funds, sufficient for the completion of the project, money from the sale of state highway bonds alone considered. The new road bills. In ef fect, spread the highway program hun dreds of miles. At the same time the special session Changed the law governing the mainte nance of state highways by providing that the counties should bear but 20 per cent of the cost of maiatalnlngi where the present law requires them to bear SO per cent, thus throwing an ad ditional 30 per cent 'of maintenance cost on the state highway fund. In addition to these various measures, there are quite a number of other! now in the governor's hands for considera tion which he will give more than a second glance before either fill&f or signing. They will be compelled to Stand the emergency test as well as that of necessity and wholesomeness. Governor Olcott has gone Into exec utive session with the whole mass of legislation passed te- him by the session, and will go through the whole pile, sorting the wheat from the -chaff first. Then he will get his ready whetted veto ax out and begin the task of decapita tion. That exercise may not commence until Tuesday or Wednesday. CITY CLUB REQUESTS THAT GOVERNOR VETO MEASURE Declaring that passage of the "straight ticket" measure by the emer gency session of the legislature Is an "abuse by ths legislature of its political power." the City club of Portland this afternoon forwarded to Governor Olcott its request that he veto the measure.

Griffith believes. as an American, Democrats aver, re ceived the unanimous approval of Re publicans and Democrats alike through out the land. Administration officials are putting the hypothetical question : "Suppose Secretary Daniels had taken Admiral 81ms' advice and the Amsrtcan navy had been amalgamated with that of Great Britain for the protection of all allied lines of communication and not ths United States' lines of commu nications alone; and suppose that a number of transports carrying dough boys to France had been sunk and the soldiers drowned while American wsrN vessels were protecting British shipping.

"Pershing, that fine soldier, gave us the first blow when he declared America won the war.
