L General Menoher Speaks.
i(!eneral Menoher himself sounded
the keynote of the evening In a short
hut forceful talk in which he paid
eloquent tribute to the soldierly ability
of General White and during which
he declared that the work being done
by the Oregon national guard organi
zation "merits the praise of the
nation."
"I want to express the opinion of
that part of the United States army
which I represent," he said, "of the
wonderful work which Is being done
by'tho Oregon national guard. Also
I desire to commend General White
upon the excellence and efficiency of
his command. It merits the praise of
the nation.
"The one thing that I like most
about General White is (hat he always
obeys an order, no matter how exact
ing It may be, and instead of attempt
ing to evade such an order he invari
ably figures out some way of meeting
its requirements.
"I am indeed delighted that Gover
nor Pierce, who has graced this occa
sion with his presence, has selected
General White as the chairman of
Oregon's national defense -day program."

General Menoher said:
