Danger of a further spread of the ffpinal meningitis epidemic of which three members of Companies A and B, Third Oregon Infantry, stationed at the Armory, are sick, is believed to have passed. Two of the sick men are on the road to recovery. The third, Private Olin, had recuperated suffi ciently late yesterday to demand coffee and hot biscuits. The Armory has been fumigated and Is closed for the next day or so. This makes it necessary for the two new cavalry troops, B and C, just organized, to be Inspected outside the Armory. Troop B was inspected and accepted last night by Captain Kenyon A. Joyce. Sixth United States Cavalry. Troop C will be inspected tonight out Bide the Armory. The men of these two commands have not yet received equip ment and supplies. Third Oregon Ready for War. Having been the first National Guard regiment In the United States to com plete its mobiliation. and the first to be recruited up to full war strength, officers and men of the Third Oregon In fantry are ready to go to France with the first overseas expedition, if Amer ican troops are sent to Europe. "I do not believe there is a man in the Oregon National Guard but de sires to represent this country and his state on the firing line in Europe, if troops are to be sent there," commented Adjutant-General George A. White. "If they are sent, the Oregon organl rations would give a splendid account of themselves. The senior officers throughout the service are experienced leaders. Practically all the field offi cers have had 15 to 25 years" military experience, and all the captains have had 20 years' experience. A majority of the Lieutenants have had more than five years'- training in the National Guard. "Under the leadership of such offi cers, the hundreds of new men in the ranks are developing rapidly. Coast Artillery Well Trained. "The Third Oregon Infantry Is a splendid organization. The Oregon Coast Artillery is trained, not only in the technical work of the Coast Artillery, but also as infantry and could give ex cellent service as such. Oregon's field artillery and cavalry are efficiently of ficered and have a good nucleus of non commissioned officers. "The weakness of the large number of new recruits in all organizations is offset by the experienced nucleus of trained men and seasoned non-commissioned officers. "If it should happen that the Oregon troops are sent to Europe, new tra ditions will be established for the state in the service that will be rendered by them."

Sholin, who be tween times took the mnny splendid pictures of the battery while t'ie were serving on the Mexican border at Calexico. Private Sholin says he does not care where he is sent for avia tion instructions, but hopes with all his might that he will be among the American soldiers chosen to be sent either to France cr England to receive aviation instructions.

Adams Speaker at Pro gressive Men's Club. ' MILITARY NEED ASSERTED Chester J. Hogne Speaks on "Buy- a-IIome" Movement of National Thrift Campaign, Urging Resi dents to Keep Money Home. The Progressive Business Men's Club yesterday listened to an address by E. J. Adams. State Highway Commis sioner, on "Oregon's Road Bonding Act." Mr. Adams Impressed upon his hearers that the building of the con templated hard-surfaced roads would be of great good to the state irom a military standpoint and that it was de cidedly unpatriotic to fight the bind ing measure at this time, seeing that the automobile owners would foot the bill in the end. He emphasized the fact that good roads always brought prosperity in their path and referred to President Wilson's appeal to tne na tion "to let business go on" and not kill good roads simply because the Nation is at war. The club went on record unanimously as favoring the passage of the meas- e. Mrs. Leslie Scott sang, after which Chester J. Hogue, representative of the West Coast Lumbermen s Association, addressed the club upon the "Buy a Home First" movement and its rela tion to the National thrift campaign. Mr. Hogue brought out the fact that the campaign this year is only an ele mentary one, but that the real results would be felt next year and the year following. At the present time the lumbermen are busy supplying timber for shipbuilding purposes, but the mills are Interested in the future de velopment of the idea for years to come. If men can be induced to avoid send ing money East for luxuries, they will begin to think of homes built with Oregon lumber and a new market will be created for a local product. The extent of the campaign which is sweep ing over the country can be realized when it is known that 60 towns in Florida are in the midst of the "Buy a Home First" campaign and the entire plan is being handled by the manufac turers of yellow pine and cypress, 300 concerns being interested in the ac tive work. bX-WIFE SUES MR.
