Josseljn and Wheeler. 3 . i v ' ? i - , if r AVlien Population la Considered, Ore gon Surpasses Other Sections of Country In Providing for National Defense. Oregon Is doing Its share, and more than its share in enlisting' recruits for all branches of the National service for the war. . Figures show the Portland recruit ing offices, together with the National Guard units of the state, either already called to the colors or available for service, have enrolled no fewer than 7631 men, under an entirely volunteer enlistment system. The response to the call for volun teers has been more pronounced here than almost anywhere else in the country. Indeed, considering the rela tive population, Oregon may be said to have done better than' any other state in the Union. For example, only three recruiting stations in the whole country filled up the quota of 800 men asked for in each place by the Navy between April 1 and April 20. Portland got 810 men In that period. The two other cities to fill up the quota in the 20 days were Kansas City and Baltimore. When the density of population in and about those centers is compared with that of Portland, the comparison is all in favor of the Rose City. Hospital Apprentices Secured. The Navy alone has enlisted 2018 men in the Portland recruiting station during April and May up to the present time. Another instance of the effi ciency of the local Navy recruiting of fice is shown by the fact that officers in charge here were asked to enlist 75 hospital apprentices between April 28 and June 15. The local office has al ready signed up 89. It is believed the 'Army recruiting office here is either second or third In the whole United States in respect to the total of enlistments, consider ing the population of the various states. In April 1233 recruits were enrolled for Army service and up to date this month 785 have been recruited. Captain L. B. Pinkston, in charge of the marines recruiting work in this territory, said Oregon is doing more than its Bhare in giving men to this arm of the service. With a quota of 26 In April. Captain Pinkston's office en listed 109, and in the month ending May 20. with a quota of 95. 134 were lathered into the marines. Marines Enlist for War Only. In fact men for the marine service are being enlisted faster than uni forms can be supplied. Another thing that is expected to give a big spurt to recruiting for the marines became known yesterday when Captain Pinks ton received advice to enlist men lor the term of the war only. Harry M. Grayson, a sporting writer on The Oregonian, was among those who enlisted yesterday. Louis Gervais, of Pendleton, just en listed, was again started for the Mare Island training camp last night, after having been accepted here previously and rejected down south. He under went an operation here to remove a disability so that he could enlist. The wound healed nicely and he was ac cepted, passed by the doctor and sent on his way. A tiny sinus in the in cision developed pus down south and he was rejected. But the plucky lad waited until he had again recovered and was again accepted., National Guard Adda 3I2. The National Guard of the state has added 3929 to the troops either now available or in reserve for Government call. To this number may be added easily 100 in auxiliaries of various kinds. The total figure given for Oregon does not include a large number of vounar men who have gone to the of ficers' training camp at the Presidio and there are other men identified with various war activities that would bring the total up remarkably. MARINES OFFER WAR SERVICE Enlistments Now Will Be for Period of War, Saya Commander. Men who want to Join the Marine Corps may now enlist for the period of the war instead of for any stated term of service. This is expected to have a splendid effect in bringing the strength of the marines up promptly, due to the desire of volunteers to see active serv ice and to be released from duty when the war ends. George Barnett, Major-General com mandant of the Marine Corps, sent the following telegram advising the new order of enlistment to The Oregonian yesterday: "The bill signed by President Wilson yesterday authorizes the Marine Corps to enlist men between the ages of 18 and 35 for the period of the war. Men who want to fisrht where the action Is COl'VTV SCHOOL GRADUATION EX ERCISES TO BE HELD TOMORROW, . Programme Will Be Carried Oat Central Library, Mr. Churchill Presenting; Dlplos George L.

May 14. (Special.) E. J. Adams, of the State Highway Com mission, addressed a fair-sized audi ence yesterday at the Courthouse - on the $6,000,000 road bond Issue. Many of his hearers were among Lincoln County's largest realty owners. Mr. Adams created a favorable impression. and In his analysis explained that SO per cent of the traffie is carried over 0 per cent of roadway: that z per cent of the roads In Oregon serve one-half of the population of the state, and that SO per cent of that traffic is motor-driven. The speaker made It plain that if the bonds do not carry that Lincoln County must depend upon poet and forest reserve road money, and that that money likely will be first spent upon sections bearing the heaviest traffic, which are in other parts of the state. If the bonds do carry, the use of the post and forest reserve road money is available for local roadways, since the highways where traffic is the heaviest will be hard surfaced from the funds arising from automo bile licenses. Mr. Adams called attention to the fact that the motor vehicle license fees will furnish alone sufficient funds to pay all of the principal and interest on the Issue.
