There was no lack of pep judging from the community singing led by Mrs. Ted Cramer of Portland, officii! song director. "I'se t'.wine Hack to Medford," sung to tin tune of 'Tsr Gwitm Hack to Dixie," was one of the numbers. Another interesting program feature was Miss ltoberiu Morton's accordion performance, sponsored by the Capital unit of Salem, Ore. Hull call was answered by the official delegate from each unit, who told of the number of womer from her city present at the meet ing.

Mrs. Ceor-lia Webber, depart ment hospital chairman, of Port land, a member of The Dalles unit, gave an interesting survey of the activity under her supervision.

Ceneral O'Neil said ho decided to t;o around the world with a sword in his hand. "I would rather be a buck private in the rear ranks," he stated, "because you ul ways have the privilege- of ':uss ing' the mess!" Ucsities fiht;nc France. Ceneral i alter a good day's n O'Neil fought in Cuba anfl 'the I h-ivl .l iv' work on Philippines. In Cuba he was s c- ' nnd lieutenant, and first lieutenant in the Philippines. I luring the World war he had 30.000 men un der his command, and fought with 10. Olio. "We were under shellfire about 100 days altogether. 7l! of them during the battle of the Ar gonne," he stated. General O'Neil related an inci dent of the Hpanish-A merlean war while in t uba. He was going aerosH country with iv group of fellows, who found the body ot a Spanish captain. The captain's sword was a short distance from the body, and Gene ml O'Neil, knowing that thv Spanish captains had the best of swords, took it to te a Toledo blade. lis carried the sword around with him In all of his travels, taking the best care of it. One day he happened to meet a connoisseur Of arms, nnd was very proud to .show the cap tain's sword. Tile connoisseur, after looking it over carefully said. "I thought this hail a Toledo hludf. ook here." There, printed on the blade of the sword were the words, "lirldgeport, Conn." General O'Neil still has the sword in his posses sion, and r.ays anyone wanting to see a Toledo blade made in lirldge port, may look at thin relic. Athletics were a part of Mr. O' Neil's work during the war as well as now. He had charge of the athletics of 10,000 men. As only $:t,X2."i had been allowed to carry on this work. 1 'J baseball tt unis were organized to raise funds. This method only brought in S.'.OO.

Over $"1,000 was rlcared in this way. General O'Neil was captain of the Notre Dame football team in 1 S S3. It was at this time the team got the name. "The Fighting Irish." by which they are still known to day. Some of the famoiiH men on the team at that time were Mike P. urns. Click Clark, Ferg Kuhn and John Clancy. Mr. O'Neil sold that most of the "Fighting Irish" are Swedes. General O'Neil Is now represen tative of the American Athletic as sociation In southern Washington ami Oregon.
