Not an inviting coast certainly, yet

The sentiment Of the song is in
harmony with the work Of American
fzation which Mrs. Fries, chairman
of publicity of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, has been con-
Quoting recently in opposition to the
pacifists who are opposing the pro-
gram of Defense day.
Gen. and Mrs. Fries were friends
in childhood. They went to school
together and were graduated from

away the honors as valedictorian
and she as class poet.
After graduation the general
taught school a year and then en-
tered West Point. Mrs. Fries also
taught school a short time. and later
attended Monmouth College. Greg,
and Barnard College OF Columbia Uni
versity.
AT the close of the Spanish
American War Gen. Fries was or
dered to Oregon. They were married
in August, 1899. and will celebrate
their 25th anniversary August 16 of
this year.
They have four children. three
daughters and one son. whose ages
range from sixteen to seven years.
Through all the years Gen. and
Mrs. Fries have continued to give
assistance and inspiration to one
another. They are interested In the
events OF each day which influence
the thought OF the world. and take
an active part in promoting what
they consider helpful.
