ARTILLERY NEEDS RECRUITS 121 Men Needed to Bring Organisa tion Up to War Strength PORTLAND, Dec. 1. (Special Dis patch.) The Oregon Coast Artillery needs 131 recruits to bring it up to full war strength, and it needs them right away. - : Here is a chance for patriotic young Oregon men to enlist in one of the most attractive branches of the army service, the heavy artillery, before the ban goes on voluntary enlistments by men of draft age on December 16. On and after that date, no man of draft age will be permitted to volun teer in the army, and he may volun teer in the navy or Marine corps only when he has a- certificate from the chairman of his local board that he is so far down the list he will not come within the current draft quota. The Oregon Coast Artillery, in com mand of Colonel C. C, Hammond of Eugene, is one of the crack heavy artillery organizations in the United States. It is now in training in the forts at the mouth of the Columbia river. Colonel Hammond hopes that every town in the state having a 'company in the Coast Artillery will make it a point of honor to see that its company is filled up before December 16. And he hopes that other towns . will do their part. Here is the number of recruits need ed at once by each company: 1st Company Ashland 1 2nd Company Eugene 16 3rd Company Eugene 8 4th Company Roscburg . . 2 5th Company Albany 12 6th Company Cottage Grov '.16 7th Company Modford . 5 8th Company Portland .... . . . . . 4 9th Company Astoria ;.','.. . .;20 10th Company Tillamook ..Z4 11th Company Marshfield '.".'-;'. . ;.';13 12th Company Hood River.; 11 Glfford Plnchot now concedes the Importance of immediate water power legislation on basis of fifty year lease on fair terms to secure Investment of capital and hasten power develop ment. - R TEAMS MAY PLAY FOR RED CROSS By II. C. HAMILTON (United Press Staff Correspondent.) ' NEW yORK, Dec. 1. In theso parts they're pulling now for a final wind im tn thA witr'n football season with n game between those two splendid elevens Georgia Teen ana riusuuitfu. haa tn ha football champion of the year, they argue, and usnnlly there are a lot of bruised feelings when the news is being bandied rninH o limit (his nr that team being a title-holder. Therefore, followers want the season's best bets to get togeiner, fight It out, and turn the procoeas over to the Red Cross or some other similar cause. Just imagine what such a game could do for the noble purpose of the Red Cross. Imagine the natural In terest such a contest would insure, and then add to it the patriotic dol lars that would pour through the turn stiles. The sum undoubtedly would- top $100,000, for there are fields in whorA that mnnv persons could and would be squeezed in for th) contest. A tI tbn lnrv nf such football DlaV- tiiAvA "nulH hp no more glorious crown to add to a championship in football than to pronounce Georgia Tech or Pittsburgh two schools that had done a month's work for tho Red Cross in an afternoon. There are other opportunities for .,.v xnnfoata. and the onbortunities for the golden harvest for the Red Cross, .of course, are just as numer ous. But indications , are that the schools will continue to stand on their -dignity and 'refuse to sanction meet ings of the sort at a time when the Red'CrosB needi every nickel. Aside from the noble end such n lithall ffnmA wnuld train, it would furnish the most exciting and interest ing football ever seen. It would be an intersectional battle in which a real title would be at stake. There would bo no Idle chatter1 during the winter regarding this or that team s claim to a title. The game could be staged in the Yale bowl something Yale could do ln o fnnthnW wnv or there are other fields, notably the Princeton and Harvard Stadiums, tne roio urounas, New York, or Braves Field, Boston.
