written at different times since leav

Otis Palmer's letters, however, to In

French and Eogllsa have taken' the
"receiving" rather than the "deliv

his letter Is also a silent appeal to
his countrymen everywhere to get
behind every ' movement that will
help to end the war quickly and
ameliorate the conditions and wants
of those who are at the front expos

NEW YORK, Dec. 1. Trained to
tho minute, more than a score of the
world's greatest bike stars are today
ready for the starters' guns that will
send them on their way in the six-dny
cycel race, which starts at Madison
Square Garden at midnight Sunday.
Cycle fans, while unable to dope the
winner from the long list of stars,
predict that the winning team will
har.g up a new mileage record for the
144-hour grind.
The $3000 capital prize offered by
Promoter William H. Wellman, at

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

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.
