CAMP WITHYCOMBE, Or.. Sept. 6.
(Special.) Will the Oregon militia,
now in camp here, be sent back to the
border for further duty?
This is a big question among offi
cers and men now in camp and there
is a growing belief in their ranks that
they will.
The boys are hoping that they will,
and many officers of the line strongly
think that they will, and so express
themselves.
This is what Captain D. E. Bowman,
of Company C, said to his men in a
short speech today:
"When next I Join the- company I
hope it will be down at the border."
Captain Bowman was meeting and
greeting his men again after an ab
sence of six weeks on account of sick
ness, and his remark followed the
statement that by his physician's or
ders he would be relieved from daty for
two months more.
Officers of the regiment point out
that if the Government has in mind the
formation of a trained and disciplined
body of men that object would be de
feated by disbanding now.
- Recruiting Goes On.
The fact that recruiting for the regi
ment is still under full headway, and
that the orders providing for the dis
charges of married men and of students
have been suspended, are also pointed
to as significant.
As a matter of fact, three recruits
were enlisted today. It Is understood
that the revocation of the order for the
discharge of married men was given be
cause the new Army appropriation bill
now provides for the support of de
pendents of soldiers.
The camp is now settled and things
are moving with military precision and
order. The order of the day was post
ed this morning and tomorrow morning
drills will begin. All recruits now in
camp are to be assigned to companies
tomorrow.
The Second Battalion, consisting of
Companies K, F. G and H, reached
Clackamas between 2 and 3 o'clock
this morning and detrained at 7 o'clock.
They had tourists, aniT in some in
stances Pullmans. This section left
Palm City about 6 P. M. Saturday, Sep
tember 2,
Supply Company to Come.
The Supply Company, vith the ani
mals of the regiment, is yet to come.
Because of the nature of the train, its
travel was necessarily somewhat slow
er. In this section, also, come the
officers' mounts and the animals of the
supply train, consisting of about 115
mules. There will be about 150 ani
mals in all.
Another addition that the regiment
brought with it are four machine guns,
with a light auto truck for each. These
came with the Machine Gun Company
in the first section yesterday morning.
Today was a visiting day at camp.
Visitors to the number of several hun
dred crowded the grounds all day. They
aumired their soldier-boy sons, broth
ers, husbands, relatives or sweethearts,
as the case might be, and the aforesaid
soldier boy told them all about it.
Refreshment stands of various kinds
around camp lend it an appearance of
augmented animation. These were well
patronized by the visitors and the boys.
A public telephone station has been
established on the grounds. The Y. M.
C A. has a large library tent and a can
teen installed, and both are well pat
ronized. Color Ceremony Impressive.
The impressive lowering of colore at
retreat, to the playing of "The Star
spangled Banner," is a regular event
every evening, and was held the first
evening in camp. The band plays fol
lowing the lowering of the colors.
Reduced railroad rates have been
granted by the Southern Pacific, and
a round-trip rate is now in force. All
trains out of. Portland with the excep
tion of Nos. 11 and 13 have orders to
stop at Clackamas, until further notice.
Following are the general calls of
the day now observed in camp, begin
ning -with the first morning call:
First call for reveille 5:40, reveille
6, 10 minutes calisth enic drill 6, mess
n:jv, assemDiy ior drill 7:45, recall
from drill 11, mess 12 M., fatigue 1:30.
school 2. mess 5:15. retreat 6. tattoo 9,
call to quarters $:30, taps 10.
Parses for leave from camn are be
ing issued as freely as is consistent
with camp discipline and order. Quite
a number or the men from Company
M went to Salem in a body today to
visit tnere.
Whether or not classes for students
now in camp will be inaugurated, as
originally planned on the border, will
depend largely upon future ordens.
cnapiain GUDert said today. If indica
tions are that a Winter camn will be
maintained here, classes will begin as
soon as it is possiDie to organize them.
There were 170 applicants from rjros-
pectlve students before the men left
the border, and there are probably a
little more than zoo students now in
the regiment.
Clackamas Sidelights
CAMP WITHYCOMBE, Or.. Sept. 6
(Special.) Captain D. E. Bowman
of Company C, was given a hearty and
wholesouled reception this afternoon,
when he. appeared among the members
of the company for the first time since
he had left them because of illness
about six weeks ago. Upon his ap
pearance the boys gave three cheers,
after which there was general hand
shaking and a little speech by the cap
tain. Captain Bowman reached his home
in Portland last Thursday from the Let
terman Hospital, in San Francisco, and
it may be at least three months before
he will be able to resume duty , again.
J-ie will report at the Letterman Hos
pital in two months for an examina
tion as to his condition, and at that
time it probably will be determined
when he will again be able to do duty.
Captain Bowman told his men that he
had especially requested not to be
transferred from Company C during his
illness, and sain that when he again
Joined his company he hoped it would
De down at tne border.
September 1 had been the data set bv
Colonel McLaughlin for the taking of
the new National Guard oath. But
September 1, so it developed, was the
date on which they were destined to
break camp, so the oath was not given.
The oath will likely be administered
at Camp Withycombe at an early date.
Every recruit in camp is enthusiastic
about his own company. Seemingly
every company baa the best Bet ot of-
ficers and the best mess. If a recruit
by change inquires what might be a
good company to become assigned to
he will instantly find the one asked
"plugging" for his unit in superlative
terms.
One thing the men have learned down
at the border, and that is not to be
timid. The boys hail a passing auto
with the assurance of a traffic police
man, and if the machine is going their
way and there is hang-on room any
where about it. they will get the ride.
Machines coming to Portland last
night from the vicinity of Clackamas
were loaded with grinning guardsmen.
Eight soldiers and two women were
counted in one machine.
The guardsmen will soon have an
other pay day. So far they have only had
one. But the paymaster sent word that
he will be over with the coin of the
realm (that's how Uncle Sam pays),
within a few days, and the men will
then receive their August pay.
One man reported from Battery A,
still on the border, this morning for
discharge. He is Sergeant William D.
Jackson. Privates Clarence W. McGee
and Frank McCall. of Company D, who
were also discharged today, arrived
nearly a week ago for that purpose,
and they had pleasant visits with their
former comrades before they left camp.
It is llkelv that soon a contingent
of recruits will be sent to the border to
fill the vacancies in Battery A and
Troop A. Cavalry. In the former there
are 35 vacancies and in the latter tnere
are seven. There are 61 recruits In
camp. These will be assignea to ine
various companies tomorrow, wltn tne
exception that those who want to go to
the battery or the cavalry will be as
signed for rations only, until the order
comes to go. Recruits enlisted today
were Joseph R. Kane. Baker; Andrew
Henderson, Elgin; John H. Beichel.
Elgin.
On Auirust 26 the first issue of a
regimental paper appeared among the
boys on the border, with George mai
mer Putnam as editor. It had time to
put out Just one more issue before the
boys left, and it appeared on the day
that they broke camp. September l. in
its second issue it appeared as the
Oregon Outpost, a name selected after
the first issue, which was nameless.
Word of the death of Captain John
T. McDonnell, formerly of the general
staff of the state militia, was received
with a distinct feeling of regret today.
Captain McDonnell was formerly a
member of Company F. This company
will attend the funeral Friday in a
body, and will render military honors
at the grave. A cordon of officers has
been selected to act as pallbearers.
A Tinrnde of the entire returned regi
ment through Portland streets, is an
event that may occur shortly. ine
subleet is beine- considered by officers
of the regiment.
PaaQoa frti nlsrht visits to Portland
wr jamifl last nie-ht for the' first
time since the regiment arrived. Many
militiamen visited friends and rela
tives in town as a consequence.

HINDU LECTURE LATER
TAGORE'S TALK POSTPONED VSTIL
AFTER JEWISH HOLlO.W.
"Civilization Barrier to True Inner
Spirit of Man," He Send
Word From Japan.
Sir Rabindranath Tagore, Hindu
philosopher, poet and novelist, will
speak in Portland on the evening of
September 28 instead of on the evening
of September 27. The change in date
has been made because September 27
falls on a Jewish holiday and a num
ber of patrons and members of the
Drama League made requests for a date
which would not conflict with the Jew
ish celebration.
The lecture will be held at Lincoln
High School auditorium and will begin
about 7:45 o'clock. Sir Rabindranath
will arrive in Seattle direct from Japan
next Saturday.
Tagore has Just completed a visit in
Japan, where, according to a message
be sent to this country, he, "the represen
tative of the Buddhist belief in man's
fellowship and in living deeds, found
modern civilization the barrier to the
true inner spirit of man."
His initial tour of the United States
Is expected to be a bewildering revela
tion. Europe has impressed him with
the fact that modern civilization "has
made our life so intricate that it has
lost its transparency of simplicity. Our
things are more in evidence than our
selves." WOMAN PARTY ORGANIZING
Miss Margaret Kendall to Visit
Towns in First District.
Miss Margaret Fendall. one of the
organizers for the Women's party, will
leave today for a trip to some of the
principal towns in the First Congres

TORPEDO PRACTICE
CRUISE EXPERIENCE

SAN FRANCISCO VISITED

Are Sermon by Pastor-Seaman,

BY JOSEPH MACQUEEX.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. Sept. 4. (Spe
cial correspondence.) "O. you Golden
Gate!"
"Where is the Golden Gate, anyhow?"
Such were exclamations of Pacific
Northwest naval volunteers beholding
San Francisco harbor for the first time,
as the cruiser New Orleans arrived
from San Diego this noon. '
The naval pilgrims agreed tliat al
though no shining gates of gold were
visible, that the gray picture of the
city, silvered in the warm sunshine
and a blue, cloudless sky overhead. Is
an inspiring one.
Torpedo Practice Held.
The naval experiences of the Pacific
Coast volunteers on board the cruisers
New Orleans and South Dakota, so far
as work around San Diego harbor Is
concerned, will be remembered by them
as the most notable of the entire cruise.
These naval experiences relate to the
firing of eix-inch guns, and the firing
of three torpedoes from the three torpedo-boat
destroyers Paul Jones. Preble
and Stewart.- On September 1. the ci
vilian volunteers boarded the steam
launch of the South Dakota and went
to Coronado dock, where they divided
Into three parties, one for each des
troyer. The experiences on the Paul Jones
will serve as a striking example. A
run of about 10 miles out to sea was
made on each destroyer. Three White
head torpedoes, with dummy heads. In
stead of live heads, were ejected from
the torpedo carriages, one after an
other. From the Paul Jones, a boat
containing a crew of five men, among
them Rev. Henry W. Davis, of Eugene,
and E. H. Williams of Seattle, was
rowed to about 2000 yards from the
destroyer.
With a curious, hissing sound, the
torpedo from the Paul Jones made a
path, apparently, for the five men in
the email boat. Its track could be seen
clearly. It looked like that made by
a big snake. The men in the boat
rowed several yards to safety, and then
rowed towards the floating torpedo on
which, as the action of the air became
active, a burning light was detected.
Torpedo Is Recovered.
The regular members of the boat's
crew secured a line around the torpedo
and towed it to the destroyer, on which
it was hoisted and prepared for an
other drill performance.
It was explained that the burning
light in each torpedo was intended for
its detection, so that the torpedo could
be recovered at night practice. The
torpedoes used are similar to those
ejected from submarines.
On the night of September 1, the
Pacific Northwest civilian volunteers
were transfered to the cruiser New
Orleans and the next morning the run
to San Francisco and home was begun.
About noon, the ocean became active
in the "white-cap" department, and the
ship tossed about considerably. On
board were 125 apprentice seamen to
be transferred at Bremerton, Wash., to
the cruiser West Virginia and several
of these youngsters and some civilian
volunteers suffered from slight sea
sickness. The day was one of strong
winds, blue sky and sunshine.
Shipboard Sermon Peacued.
Last Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Davis
preached a sermon to about 200 sailors
on the topic ' "The Life That Wins."
taking his text from Revelations III
and XII. He made a strong appeal
for clean speech and clean living, plac
ing emphasis on the fact that universal
love and brotherhood on an interna
tional basis are better than war and
hate. He expressed his belief, how
ever, in the use of an army and navy
for the purposes of protection, until
the recognition of human brotherhood
is universal.
Just about noon, the ground-swell
of the ocean made the ship roll con
siderably, and several naval pilgrims
were in distress with seasickness, but
soon recovered to join in a happy din
ner of pork, corn, apple sauce and "ever
lasting" coffee.
The cruiser New Orleans, unless pres
ent plans change, leaves San Francisco
Wednesday morning and will arrive at
Astoria September 10.
