PORTUGAL’S RULER
10 ALLIED CAUSE
First Portuguese President Elected
By Universal Suffrage Assumes
Duties.
! E
LISBON.—The people of Lisbon
pave President Paes an ovation when
he assumed the duties of his office
on “Proclamation Day.” Dr. Paes
the first Portuguese president elect
ed by universal suffrage, received
more than half a million votes. His
opponents refrained from voting.
He was elected in the face of the
most bitter campaign, threats of
death being freely made against
prospective voters if they dared
journey to the polls and drop their
ballot. “If you vote, you die” were
the words written on many slips of
paper nailed to houses or slipped
under the doors of voters presumed
to be partisans of the new regime.
The official proclamation took
place at the Lisbon City Hall. Peo
ple lined the streets and quays
from the president’s palace to the
city hall, where double cordons of
police vainly attempted to keep the
crowd back. President Paes. a lithe
martial figure, remarkably young
looking for his 46 years, escorted
by his guard of honor ascended the
dais. On his right was General
Bernardiston, chief of the British1
Mission, and next to him the mili
tary attache of the United States,
General Brainard, and several other

E. G. Pearson, of the Enginee-ing
Staff of the A. E. C., Will
Leave on Steamer Yukon.
Answering a telegraphic summons
received a few days ago. Ernest G. j
Pearson, who has been attached to
one of the engineering parties out
on the line as transitman, arrived
in town last night and is now busy
making arrangements to leave for'
the States on the return trip from
Fairbanks of the steamer Yukon. '
The telegram received by Pearson
was sent him by Local Board No 1.
of Tacoma, informing him that he
had been inducted into the service j
and ordering him to report for duty
at Camp Lewis on the 23rd of this
month. The telegram appeared to
have been sent from Tacoma on the
' night of the 15th and was received
there on the 16th of July, and was
immediately phoned out to the camp
at which Pearson was working at
the time. ]
The Tacoma Local Board has been
informed in a wire sent by Pearson
last night that it would be prac
tically impossible for him to report
for duty at Camp Lewis on the date
specified, and requesting the board
to arrange for his transportation, as
he will sail on the Yukon probably '
on the 20th.
Ernest Pearson has been with the 1
Alaskan Engineering commission al
most since the work was commenced 1
on this division. He was tiinekeep r
at the corral and old camps 10 and
11 some time ago. and was for a ^
time attached to the transportation ,
department, during which time he
did much riding between Nenana
and 43-mile in connection with his
business. Latterly he was attach'd .
to the engineering staff at 43-mile.
officers of the Allied legations.
President Paes first granted a
general amnesty for all political and
military crimes and said that all the
exiles would be allowed to return
to Portugal.
He spoke of the insidious anti
patriotic campaign that had been
waged against him and his govern- i
ment, based on the calumny that ]
Portugal as represented at present i
was fiostile to the cause of the s
Allies and reiterated his determina
tion to carry on the war on the side
of the Allies with all the resources
at the command of the country. !
