A series of intensely
interesting stories by
SERGEANT ARTHUR
GUY EMPEY, famous
author, of "OVER THE
TOP," one of the most
thrilling and most widely read
of all War stories, will be
published in this paper, be
ginning in an early issue.
CHESE stories are of extreme interest
because they relate Empey's own experi
ences on the battlefields of France, where American
soldiers are now fighting in ever increasing numbers.
Empey is an American one of the first to get into the
war. He writes from an American viewpoint for American
readers. In "Over the Top" he gave an indication of what
may be expected in this further recital of his experiences.
He takes his readers with him, in these stories, right into
the first line trenches "Somewhere in France," where the
heart of America is today.
Watch for the First of These Stories
Which Will Appear Soon
Friends in this city were shocked
Monday on receipt of word from Sea

Mrs. Johnson, of that place, when
she was stricken.

(Continued, from Page 1)
Supreme Ruler to remove from our
midst and association our friend and
fellow official, Captain M. D. Phillips,
and
"Whereas, Captain Phillips ' had
long been a resident of our state, and
of this city, and had always proven
himself a faithful friend and consci
entious, and upright citizen, and in
his association in an official way
with the members of the city govern
ment, in the conduct of municipal
. affair's, he has at all times been ready
and willing to do his part in what
ever capacity he was called upon, and
has ably and conscientiously dis
charged his trust as a city official,
and
. "Whereas, his sudden calling off
was a shock to his friends, family
and fellow officials, and we and they
can hardly realize that he will never
more be with us, and that the places
and people who have known nnd lov
ed him will know him no more.
"Therefore, be it resolved that in
the death of Captain Phillips, our
city and state has lost one of its
. most useful and energetic citizens,
his country one of its bravest and
best defenders, and his wife and
daughter, a faithful and devoted
husband and father.
"Bo it further resolved, that a
copy of these resolutions be spread
upon the minutes of the city council
of Oregon City, and that a copy be
sent to the widow of our deceased
friend and associate, and the city
press be presented a copy thereof,
and as a mark of our respect, thut
the flag over the city hall be placed
at half mast for thirty days.
"Passed by the Council ' October
30th, 1918."
Approved, E. C. HACKETT, Mayor.

such trades may now volunteer for
service in the regiments of the large
