MONDAY, JULY G r - 1" THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND, .OREGON 20,000 PAIRS WAR ORPHANS OBSERVE DAY FOR AMERICA . By Edwin HnUlnger. . , (United New. Buff Vomrpon&ent) Paris, July 4. For 45 minutes, - 20,000 tiny French war orphans ; stood in ranks today in the Place Concord with rain beating down upon them, waiting for the signal to march In a demonstration of Franco-American amity, the like of which, has never before been -seen. And when at. last the clouds broke and the sun came shining thrdugh, they filed into th Tuilierfes to sa lute the American ambassador with "Vive I'Amerique; whee"! whUe ex . President Polncare and Papa Joffre, who had commanded the itathers. of many of them in their last -fight, stood 'by applauding. That word "whee" was abolit the only 'American" word the children knew. They had been coached in It by the American girls who are ' doing welfare work among- the needy of France.1' And It was Josf as eloquent of the feelings for America as the rolling phrases, and - spread-eagle gestures of a back-home Fourth of July orator. "THAKK YOU, OSHKOSH" The Fourth of July Is.no holiday in Frarce ; there was no reason jother than sentimental why thousands of French widows in their weeo. ofTicers,' dandy . in their scarlet. breeches, and poilus n horizon blue should . have braved 'he downpour to stand in solid walls along the children's line of march from 'he Place Concord to the LouvVe, the ma Jorlty of them wearing the Stars and stripes over their hearts. As the little ones came into the pre viewing ;pace. . some of them wearing . American army slickers . cut down ' to slse. others in drenched and starchless white dresses, a poilu band struck . up "La Madelon." They filed past Am bassador Wallace, each squad carrying , a standard bearing a legend, reading "Thank you. Kansas City," or New Or leans or .Wichita or. Milwaukee or Chi cago or Detroit or Mount Clemens cities whJch had sent the means of . educating them even though their fathers are dead. . ...... HOUSES AKK DECORATED A great mny American tourists were present at the review and saw the am bassador walk down the lona- line after the review was over, shaking hands with the widows and soldiers, thanking them for the compliment implied by their ' presence. . -..-' The Fourth In Paris' seemed all the world like a Fourth back home. Th . opera and - the Rue de la Paix .were decked with flags in a manner to remind an American of Fifth avenue. New Tork. in 1917. - , Chamber's Protest Is Due: to Mistake. I Says Chamberlain Washington, July 5. (WASHINGTON BUREAU OF TJHE JOURNAL) El A. Sherman, acting forester,; writes Senator Chamberlain that' he is convinced the protest of the : Portland city council against the Lost Lake road under con struction . by the forestservlce .was adopted nnder a mistaken understanding of the location of the road. The road is outside the Bull Run re serve, he says, and the engineer of . the Portland water t bureau has stated he has no objection to it. :; The Portland council has evidently confused it with another road started several years ago and abandoned upon receipt of protest from Portland, from fears that it might lead to encroachment upon the Bull Run reserve. That project has not been re vived, Sherman says, but is maintained as a trail for protection against fire. There is less likelihood of trespass from the vicinity of Lost Lake, says the act ing forester, than along the: northern route or the Bull Run route of the Mount Hood loop, as Lost ..Lake is well belov the elevation of the Bull Run .watershed and drainage from it does not affect the Portland -water-supply. SUFFRAGE BATTLE IS LOOMING NEAR i B? VnitM Newa.) . Washington, July . 6. . Develop ments in the final phase of the bat tle for national' suffrage are ex pected within a; few days In Ver mont and Tennessee. 'These two states are the suffrage "hopes" for furnishing the ratification necessarr from a thirty-sixth state, to make it possible for women to vote in the presidential election this year. Suffrage leaders ' here are' confident th'at Governor Clement of Vermont will make-formal announcement this week of a special ratifying session. Governor Clement came to Washington last week to confer with Senator " Harding, Re publican presidential nominee. He re fused to give hit decision after hearing Senator Harding s favorable recommend ation for-a session, .but announced that he would reach Montpelier. Vermont's capital, eariy j mis week, and It was understood a statement would be made at that time. I It Is believed that in case a session In Vermont is called, - ft will be held ahead of the date set for the Tennessee special session, which Is August 9. The reason for the haste would be to give to the Republican party the credit of obtaining- final .ratification. Suffragists hero frankly worried over prospects for ratification by the Tennessee legislature. ELKS HOLD BIGGEST - J CO Ml SCE ORDER ASFORU Chicago, July'5. (I. N. 8.) More than .160,000 Elks gathered In Chi cago today for the biggest B'. P. O.

Berlin. July 5.4-L N. R) British shipping, interests L are ..reported, to be holding out the olive branch of recon ciliation to their former deadly arivali--the Germans. This attitude on the part of the British is paid ' to be. the result of the movement in the United ' States for a : powerful ' merchant marine, es pecially the activities' of the Harriman family In the shipping field. . . Count Locovich.) representing BriUsh sMpping Interests, has proposed to Ger man marine magnates at Hamburg that the Hamburg-American line repurchase from the British their own German ships that were confiscated, on liberal terms with five years for payments. These German ships were confiscated by the British because , of ' the sinking of the German war fleet at Scapa Flow. One British condition was that the ships, i'even , If controlled -by. the . Ger mans, should fly the British flag for at least two years. VETERANS ADVISED 10 RETURN TO OLD CANVAS IN REUN ON High Water Stage Lowest in 58 Years The Dalles; July 6.

That .vet erans of the world war would ; have more fun if they held their reunion back In the boaoms of their old out fits, : Instead of staging set conven tions in large cities like purely civil ian organizations; was the suggestion put forward today by Ma; ir General James G. Harbord. who led the ma rihes at' Belleau wood and i is now in command of the Second division at Camp Travis, Texas. ' ' MAKES TIMELY SUGGESTION; i General Harbord, who r attended the first reunion of the Second Etvision as sociation "at Atlanta, Ga., while iwarm in his praise of many of the features of that gathering- and appreciative of the public interest shown in the veter ans of the famous, division, sees1 what a stimulating effect a visit from the "old timers," , who were with the outfit at Chateau-Thierry. " Soissons, Cham pagne . and- the Argonne, would1 have on the younger men actually serving In the division. Consequently he is look ing forward with keen interest to the Initial tryout of his suggestion, due to take place a year from now at Camp Travis. If the Second Is still stationed there, j TO HE CALL OLD TJ2TITS. ' , "My idea would be to assign the vet erans, i as tbey came. in for.Uie r anion. to their old units, as far as possible." the general explained. "Most of " them would undoubtedly . want to look up that old top sergeant to see If he were Still in the service, : or perhaps to as sure ' themselves that he wis - well out of it; to co around and 'rag' their old mess sergeants and cooks, -perheps. and see, if. the. slum cf. former days was being i Improved on In peace time. "Would you put them on K. P. while the reunion lasted,! to make it real istic T1 he ' was asked. No" the general replied. (He did K. P.! himself, did the general, when a buck private back ' In the old army days Of 1889.) I wouldn't go as far as that.-;" . --. HOUSED rSDEB CA1TYAS 1 "But " I would have the reunited vet erans: housed under canvas or In bar racks, and have them rub shoulders not only with their old comrades who are out of - service, but with the men who are still keeping up the record of the division in the service. , - "A divisional reunion at the division's own .camp, aside from its sentimental interest , and Jie stimulation of the men still in its ranks, - would :be - In many ways) much easier to handle than a reunion, staged in a larger city. : ?Then, ; too, such a scheme would be more j convenient and less expensive for the veterans. At the Atlanta reunion only four officers on acUve service with tie Second could get away and the trip cost about $150 apiece." Gerard Had Logic v And One Vote; Now He Has; Only Logic f B fnltm New.)
