! PERSHING SUES
UN-AMERICANISM
BEFORE BIG CROWD

' . , ...
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

Baker said as he brought forward -year-old
Jean Abercromble, daughter of
Captain Charles' H. ' Abercromble. "She
wants to present these Columbia roses

' 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

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.

RSHING PRAISES
WESTERN PATRIOTS
...
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." Two Are Wounded

NAL.) The supreme court tofjayl

stand holding- W. F. llallowell of
Seattle, Wash., guilty of using the
m-ails to defraud by 'falsely repre

serve IS months at McNeils Island
penitentiary.
The caa of W. F- Hallowell, Seattle
attorney, haa been in court sines June
8. 1915, when Hallowell and others. In
cluding W. F. Lick, were indicted by the
federal grand Jury here for fraud in con
nection with the disposition of Oregon
& California railroad lands. Hallowell
and his companions were tried for mis
use of the United States mails, which
they employed extensively In securing
applications for O. & C. lands.
Hallowell' and Lick were found guilty
by a jury In Federal Judge Bean's court
at Portland late in 1917. Lick was sen
tenced to serve three months in the
Multnomah County jail and after his
appeal failed he was committed by or
der of Judge Bean on January , 1919.
lie served his time. Hallowell's appeal
went to the United States supreme
court, which today refused to review It,
upholding the local court. George L.
Young, codefendant, was fined $500 for
his part in the alleged mall frauds. W.
J. Earl and Gottlieb. Miller were found
not guilty and cases against C. W.
Chapman, Robert Greer and E. F. Coop

Bean.
OLCOTT WILL VETO
'TARTniCKET BILL
(Continued From Pag One)
action Is concerned, that the "organiza
tion" ward heeler and precinct work
ers of the old order bo long dead in
Oregon politics would again be able to
hand his little square cards to Illiterate
and purchasable 'voters, ready marked
for their guidance to the desired place
on the official ballot.
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

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

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

Governor Olcott has gone Into exec

Then he will get his ready whetted veto

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.
The sentiment was contained In the fol
lowing resolution telegraphed to ths gov
ernor by H. Ashley Ely, president:
"Whereas, the state legislature In spe
cial session has passed senate bill 63,
providing a straight ticket ballot ; and
"Whereas sal a bill will discourage the
independent vote, fills no publlo need, is
a backward step and is an abuse by
the legislature of its political power ; and
"Whereas the governor, through Ms
veto power, has the ability to kill said
bill, theaefore, be it
"Resolved by the City club of Port
land that U is Its deliberate judgment
that said bill Is vicious and should be
vetoed and that the governor of the
state of Oregon be urged to veto said
bill, and thai a copy of this resolution
be forthwith transmitted, to saVd gov.
ernor."

"Suppose Secretary Daniels had taken
Admiral 81ms' advice and the Amsrtcan
