- Iore than 2000 residents of
Balem and vicinity ; met at the
armory r yesterday afternoon to
participate In the observance of
Armistice day and In paying trib
ute to the nation 's honored read.
The spirit , of the occasion was
exemplified in the words" of Judge
George M. Brown,- when be" de
clared "We are -happy in the
knowledge-That -America did her
part In tblg -great conflict; and
we .are happy to know that what
America undertook she accom
pushed. And that : wa in win
ning the war."
' Judge Brown described the late
was as the most terrible conflict
that had ever . , devastated . the
earth, declaring that Europe mis-
anderstood Americans, i thinking
. that the position taken by Amari-
, ca was one jdi avarice.
. Gtormanr la Scorned
t "Germany pad" not learned the
character of 'America," ; Judge
Brown said. "and thought that we
Would not fight." He pointed with
pride' to 'the fact that under the
guidance of 'our navy,' more than
a ' million men had -been trans
ported to France, and that not a
tingle vessel had been torpedoed.
' "I believe that the boys and
girls who understand and study
the history of this war will great
er appreciate our country. They
should he ' taught the history , of
our country to appreciate Ameri
ca." the Judge said. y ' ' ; 4
As to the armament conference.
Judge Brown said that we should
not be too hopeful of results.
"Let us believe that the delegates
have come together In good faith
The conference is not to stop the
building of ships, but to limit
armaments. v , '.
"Wp must bear In mind that
the western part of our country
faces the Pacific and that on the
other aide Is a great military na
tion. We must be able to pro
tect ourselves, .f Yet we hope the
past war was the "last",
" ' : America's Duty Told
Regarding Immigration, Judge
Brown said that America's first
duty Is to those who already live
here and that It was also our duty
to' erect barriers against undesir
able people. . '
"If; we are to exist, we must
keep up our patriotism," Judge
Brown declared. And if w- do
keep alive this " patriotism, we
may fee J assured that ten thou

SESSION LAST NIGHT
Leader of Secret Order As-
serts Klan Not in Hos
pital Episode
That the Kn Klux Klan is well
organized in Salem and ia recruit
ing members rapidly here was as
serted last night by King! Kleagle
L. B. Callaway, of the! Oregon
realm and by Kleagle J. C. Pilk
ington of the state organization.
A class of 20 was initiated last
night.
1 Mr. Callaway was located at a
local hotel last night after it had
been reported that Ku Klux Klan
recruiting was being carried on in
the city. ;
Member Not Named
J. C. Pilkingtbn who produced
papers purporting to show that he
Is a state kleagle, refused to pro
vide the Statesman with a list of
local members, 'asserting that the
members, were entitled to protec
tion" from "untruthful propagan
da which has been created against
the Klan." j
"Salem Klan in one district is
close-to 150 strong and several lo
cal districts will eventually be
formed. A class of about 20 was
initiated tonight," said Mr. Pilk
ington. !-
In answer to a question, Mr.
Pilktngton said that he did not
know where the meeting place
might be but denied a report that
the Klansmen had secured trans
portation for the purpose of tak
ing the candidates t o the place of
initiation. j
' Charge Denied
When asked if it was true that
the Kn Klux Klan is a eemi-mili-t&ry
organization, Mr. Pllklngton
denied this. j
"We are a purely fraternal or
ganization," he said, "and I can
assUre even the most credulous
that an honest Investigation of
the Ku Klux Klan will prove
that this Is what it claiijns to be,
ail-American, law abiding and
aggressive only when it icomes to
the enforcement of those laws
upon the very existence of which
our country depends.
"In such an organization it can
19 readily seen why we place
such emphasis in forming an or
ganization or Protestant Ameri
cans and that as such ai 160 per
cent American organization by
birth, choice or profession whose
heart is free of allegiances to
any other nation, flag, power, or
person and who will fight to pre
serve American standards and In
stitutions. !
"The negro, the Chinaman, the
Japanese or any other foreign-
born not eligible to membership
need have no fear of this organ
ization as it is the friend, and
not the enemy of the law-abiding
individual regardless of creed or
color. We desire America for
Americans, but only through the
