The suggestion of General Miles
that an international board of arbi-

Extraordinary enthusiasm was called

to the French nation written by Presi-

Our nation is in arms said the
president, "and trembling with eager
ness to defend the land of our fathers.
France is faithfully supported by
her ally, Russia; she is upheld by the
loyal friendship of England, and al

After Premier Viviani recited cata-
lcgue of alleged German aggressions
which he said had gone on for 40 years,
he declared France had borne them
with remarkable equanimity in her
deep ATTACHMENT to peace. He con-
tinued:

misses and other efforts were in vain,

peace, we and our allies have been IT.

THE liberties of Europe have been
attacked and France and her allies
and friends, who are proud of them, are
also proud to be their defenders.
I'VE shall defend them because they
alone are threatened. All the rest is
only vain pretext." aHaG

away temporarily from his managers,
violating specific instructions to speak
on nothing but "a Greater oregon"

words among the men who are run
ming the doctor and his campaign.
The trouble began with the arrival
OF newspapers from the southern
counties with reports OF the doctcr's
speeches, OF which four or five were
made. They brought the information
that Dr. Withycombe had returned to
the discussion OF the assembly and his
predictions In favor OF II, and he
also renewed that part OF his Ore
gon City speech. which declared that
a mistake had been made In driving
the Chinese out, and that he "bellev-

tened to San Francisco agitators and
driven the Chinese from their work
in clearing the land in Clackmas

Red Cross Can Call 10000.

LONDON, England, Aug. 2I.-The
British Red Cross society can call on
10000 persons many of them highly
trained. to undertake field ambulance
and hospital work. II there is a Sc
rious demand for their services II
is estimated that at least S5 per cent
of this number will obey the call
The society is the body officially
recognized by the war department and
acts under the direction Of the ai-
miralty and war office, in conjunc-
ton with the hospital staff. Its or
ganization and status are due TO the
lessons of the South African war
when various Independent nursing
societies. some of them poorly man
aged and all interfering with one an
others movements, caused the au-
thorities no need Of trouble. The
result was tina all societies were
amalgamated and put under ont
head.
