SONS OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION MEET
PORTLAND, Ore., July 112.—From every state,
from Hawaii and the Philippines, delegates to the
Twenty-sixth annual convent ion of the Society of
the Sons of the American Revolution are assembled
here, representing 14,000 descendants of participants
in that nationmaking struggle. The last actual
participant of which there was record died- in 1800
and it is estimated that not more than HO sons of
Revolutionary soldiers are living now, but each year
their descendants meet to freshen the memories of
Valley Forge and Yorktown and sow seeds of
patriotism in the heart of Young America.
President (ieiieral R. (\ Mallard Thurston of
Louisville, Ky., in his opening address emphasized
the need of a Hull of Archives at Washington. The
records of the revolution, as well as other govern
! meat documents, he said, are ttored in garrets, collars
and other undesirable places exposed to doteriora
lion and destruction and inaccessible emu to officials
of the government.
“We don’t know what they show as to the his
tory of our country,” he declared.
A committee of the Sons of the Revolution will
work during the coming session of (’ongross at Wash
ington with the American Historical Association to'
get appropriations for a permanent hall of records.
Work of organizing the Washington Guard, an
auxiliary body in which arc enrolled boys of revolu
lionary descent under 21 rears old', was detailed bv
the secretary general. The .organization, not
essentially a military body, aims to train boys in the
fundamental principles of national government and
self protection. Boys of 9 years and under are
enrolled as Junior guardsmen; of ten to fourteen as
guardsmen and of 15 to 21 years as senior guards
men. The boys are taught to foster true patriotism
and extend the institutions of American freedom.
As they become of age they are eligible for enroll
ment in the parent society. „
JUNE WAS AMERICA'S
GREATEST COPPER MONTH
The month of June surpassed all j
previous records In the matter of cop
per sales. It Is estimated in the
trade thnt contracts Involving over
200,000,000 pounds of copper were
entered into during that month, a
very large proportion of which was
sold at or better than 20 cents.
V
One of the largest producers says
that stocks of copper at refinery
points are still very low and that pro
dilution by no means is up to capacity,
although, of course, the output Is
increasing every month now thnt
smelter material is arriving in larger
quantities. The hulk of the heavy
copper business In June was for ac
count of American manufacturers
having war orders In hand.—Boston

ATTEMPTS ESCAPE
IN GARBAGE CAN
LONDON, July 22.—An attempt by
a German prisoner to escape by con
cealing himself in a can of garbage
was discovered at Leigh this week.
A farmer who buys all the food
refuse of the camp was carting away
a number of cans. The unusual
weight of one of them aroused his
suspicions. He removed a quantity of
cabbage leaves and found a German
soldier beneath.
A German named Schmidt was shot
and killed at Leigh a week ago while
trying to escape.
RUSSIANS FRAYING FOR VICTORY WHILE GERMANS DRIVE TOWARDS :
LON DON, duly ‘J‘2. Throughout Russia today j
the people of the empire are are praying for a vie
torv of the Muscovite arms. While these appeal:
to the Almighty are being made, the Austrians and
Germans are continuing their drive towards Warsaw.1
_
Ilind'enberg is bearing down on the Polish capital
from the north, and Von Maekensen is driving the
Slavs back upon their base from the south. Nothing
like a decisive battle has yet been fought as the
Russians have so far declined to stand and give
battle to the Teuton hordes. TTindenberg’s troops
are also advancing on Riga. This division of the
German army is composed largely of cavalry and
their advance guard is now ''within 20 miles of the
chief seaport of the Baltic provinces.
