The Warm Weather Has Brought Men t 14 a I 118 ATHLETES AMONG NUMBER 80 Men and Five Officers Are in Organization Women to Meet Tuesday to Arrange for Del icacies to Members. First among- the field hospital units of the Pacific Coast to be called into eervice, the Portland Field Hospital. Medical Department, of the Enlisted Reserve Corps. U. S. A., entrained at the Union depot late last night for American Lake and the rigors of the training camp. The unit, which already is declared by experts to be in fine fettle. Is com posed of SO enlisted men and five offi cers. The officers are Lieutenant J. Guy Strohm, in command: Lieutenant Splro Sargentich, Lieutenant Mount and Lieutenant Wetherbee. The latter two preceded the company to American Lake. Some hundreds of friends and rela tives watched the men as they fell into line for roll call, rather smartly for all their briefness of training and gave ringing answers of "Here!" At least a third of the unit are men of six feet and more in height, and all were of the clean-cut type of American youth. Many Give X'p Life Work. Many of the enlisted men left busi ness and profession, established In this city, to join the service, and nearly all members of the unit are well known. Walter A Hummel, a member of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, is an athlete of National repute, and holds the 440-yard hurdle record for senior and junior, won at the Amateur Ath letic Union games in Newark, N. J., last September. "Bill" Holden was a rock of strength in the University of Oregon football team, and for the last three years has been with the "Winged M." Brewer A. Billie captained the Oregon Agricul tural College football squad which de feated the Michigan Agricultural Col lege team in 1915. Joseph Luckey was an interscholastic star a few years ago. E. R. Holt is a Multnomah athlete. Joseph Lambert, a member of the Port land Golf Club, was a strong partici pant in the recent Northwest tourna ment at Waverley links. John Wilhelm, of Portland Academy and the Univer sity of Oregon, is champion golfer of the Eugene Country Club. Dental School Graduate Enlists. Alfred Schilt, a recent graduate from the North Pacific Dental College, was a sensational football player in the Portland Interscholastic League a few years since. "Ted" Preble gained laurels for the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club as a staunch swimmer and diver. Robert N. McMurray is the son of William McMurray, of the O.-W. R. & N., and was of -note as an orator at Jefferson High School and the Uni versity of Oregon. Two newspaper men are In the unit. Earl R. Goodwin, member of The Ore gonian reportorial staff, and for sev eral years assistant sporting editor, had been in the employ of The Ore gonian since 1909. Sergeant Finlay D. McNaughton for several years was a member of The Oregonian staff, and at the time of his enlistment was assist ant night editor of the Journal. All Are Eager for Duty. The men are keen for duty in France. Their only apprehension is that, being the first Field Hospital unit to be sum moned to American Lake, they may be found so Indispensable there that the orders for foreign service will tarry. The roster of enlisted men is as fol lows: Non-commissioned officers Walter D. Whitcomb, Donald M. MacClaire, James L. Hoone. Ellsworth B. Hanna, Finlay D. 11c KiiUghton, Harlan C.

UNFITNESS IS REASSERTED Views of Professor Augur Are JTot in Harmony AVith Tbose of Society of Sons of tlie American. Revolution. Another chapter In the controversy over the use of Muzzey's History of the United States as a textbook in the Port land high schools was written yester day when Wallace McCamant. Justice of the State Supreme Court, who start ed the warfare a few weeks ago by calling the author of the book partisan, unpatriotic and Inaccurate, replied to the defense of Muzzey made by Pro fessor Herbert B. Augur, head of the department of history in Jefferson High School. Justice McCamant asserts that his original criticisms have placed the pub lishers of the book on the defensive, and implies that the defensive criti cisms are inspired by local representa tives of the publishers. He insists that even were the au thor's slurs on the preparedness, move ment sanctioned by public opinion at the time the book was written .six years ago, events of the last few years would make it unfit for use in the schools at the present time.

Gay Strohm, In Command I Lieutenant Splro Sararentich. bert B. Augur's answer to my criti cism of Muzzey's history. I have known for a couple of weeks that the local representatives of the publishers of this work have been seeking to re tain someone for this purpose. The first man whom they approached on the subject read the book, reported to them that he regarded it as unfit for use in the schools and declined their retainer. "A number of others who have re cently read the book have come to the same opinion. Mr. George L. Koehn, who before his enlistment in the Army was professor of history at Lincoln High School, wrote me a letter con curring In my views. M. L. Pratt, an other educator of wide experience. Is outspoken in his condemnation of the work. "Mr. Augur is a member of the Ore gon Society Sons of the American Revo lution, but his views are out of har mony with the position of the state society and of the National society on FOUR GENERATIONS BORN AND LIVE ON SAME OREGON FARM. vS'fr70 ZefY.- Csco W. JSot itizj-i. J?- Oscar- About tua middle of May, 1847, John Leonard Koff, a native of Kentucky, with a wife and six children, left Davis County, Iowa, for Oregon, with ox teams, arriving here October 1. In the spring of 184S he acquired a squatter's right to a section of land located at the immediate southern end of Howell's Prairie, eight miles east of Salem. He lived on this farm continuously until his death in January, 1899, at the age of 87 years. Four other children were born in Oregon, the eldest of whom, George W., whose picture Is In the accompanying photograph, now owns the old homestead, and has for 40 years. His son, Oscar, was born there in 1869, and to him was born a son, Glenn, in 1894, who, three years ago, was married, and is now the father of Glenn, Jr. These four generations were born on the same farm, where they all now live. The mother of ex-Governor T. T. Geer, whose maiden name was Cynthia Ann Eoff, was a sister to G. IV. Eoff, and the ex-Governor was also born on this historic farm. ' some sion. American Sons Oppose Book. "At a meeting held March 31, 1917, the Oregon Society by unanimous vote condemned this book and demanded its elimination from the schools. Mr. Augur is the most outspoken pacifist of my acquaintance: he was aggressively op posed to preparedness before the out break of the present war and in this respect he and Muzzey are in accord. The National society S. A. R. for many years has advocated preparation for such a situation as now confronts the country. If more attention had been paid to these appeals and less consid eration given to the views of Muzzey, Mr. Augur and others, the country wourd be in better shape for present- day duties. 'There is much which I would like to reply to in Mr. Augur's communication. tor the sake of brevity I will confine myself at this time to two points. Mr. Augur claims: "Muzzey nowhere says that the construction of battle ships is a waste of the Nation's sub stance.' The best answer to this state ment is to quote the following from page 626 of Muzzey: 'So when the sen timent in favor of checking the waste of our Nation's substance by the con struction of battleships costing $12, 000.000 or more shall have grown to its full strength, we may see the saloon follow the slave-block into oblivion and the millions now spent on engines of destruction devoted to the eradica tion of disease and the enlightenment of the mind.' "Mr. Augur has been led into error in this respect by Muzzey's letter writ ten in reply to my criticism. This let ter has doubtless been placed In Mr. Augur's hands by the publishers. Muz zey's letter is as Inaccurate as his his tory. Hatred of South Denied. "Mr. Augur says: 'The Judge would perpetuate the hatred of the North for the South.' This statement is untrue. There are few things that I desire more than that ours shall be a union of 100,000,000 hearts as well as 48 states. I have -no hatred for the South. In my public speeches on the 30th of May, and at other times. I have fre quently praised the prowess of the Army of Northern Virginia. My ob jection to Muzzey is based In part on his failure to mention such southern heroes as Francis Marlon. Thomas Sumpter and Light Horse Harry Lee. "I do say that Muzzey's account of conditions in the South in reconstruc tion times Is inaccurate. My former letter specified a single incident in this part of Muzzey's work. The correctness of my criticism in this respect is at tested by the official report of General Sheridan (Sheridan's Memoirs VoL 2, pp. 235-236). "Mr. Augur makes the point that when this history was written La Fol- lette's reputation was first-class. If this statement were true, it would pal liate Muzzey's offence in writing this history and Mr. Augurs mistake in giving it entrance into the Portland schools. This statement does not con stitute an argument . for keeping the book in the schools, now that La Fol lette's turpitude Is known to us all. Contract Is Inadequate Excuse. "A contract, unwisely entered into three years ago, is an inadequate ex cuse for requiring the children in our high schools to purchase and study, es pecially at this time, a history which praises La Follette and maligns Grant. "The position of the publishers of the book is well understood. They want $1.50 from each student of history in A Great Sale of Refrigerators begins today and continues while quantities remain.
