PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 26—Men
traveling to Camp Lewis to become
'. members of the new National Army,
all sing one song. The burden of their
lay Is: "Where do we go from here?”
It is a tuneful, swingful ditty much
affected by the “Sammies" across^the
seas, according to reports the full
chorus as caroled by the carefree
travelers is as follows:
“Where do we go from here, boys,
Where do we go from here?
^ Anywhere from Harlem to a Jersey
City pier.
When Pat would spie a prety girl he'd
whisper in her ear;
Oh Joy, Oh Boy,—where do we go
from here.
How the newly drafted men on- every
troop train learn the lilting lay so
soon and why they sing it to the ex
, elusion of all else is a mystery to the
inhabitants of hamlets, towns and
cities through which the trains pass.
Suffice it to say, however that the
- troops from California and Nevada
learn the lines long before they reach
the Oregon border and sing it from
the car windows at every stop.
Besides the song they have a slo
gan. It finds expression in a score
of different ways and in as many var
ied forms, being printed in chalk upon
the sides of the Pullmans and shouted
from the cars and promised to pretty
girls on station platforms. It is even
variously worded, but the sentiment
always is the same, towit;
“We'll Bring Back the Kaiser.”

SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 26—The
question of amending the state law
which provides that the old election
.ballots must be burned may be pre
sented to the state legislature at its
next session as a result of a request
made by B.*L. Lyons, registrar of vot
ers of Los Angeles county, for permis
sion to sell as old pltpers 40,620 pounds
of ballots now stored in the vaults of
his office. He suggested selling the
ballots as a war conservation mea
sure.
Attorney General U. S. Webb has
advised Governor William Stevens
to whom Lyons referred the request,
that he was unable to give him any
authority to dispose of the ballots
otherwise than by burning them. The
Attorney General pointed out how
ever that the law which provides that
the ballots must be kept unopened
and unaltered for twelve months after
an election after which if no contest
has been started, they must be burn
ed. In view of this he has suggested
that the matter of disposing of them
might be delayed until the next lagis
lature has had opportunity to consid
er an amendment of the law provided
for tho disposition of the ballots In
a manner that will tend to conserve
the resources of the state.
Drawings of plans for the exhibit
building to replace the structure des
