Battery A, Oregon Field Artil tery, formed more than 60 years ago, has been called upon by the War Department to recruit to full 'war strength of 199 men at once. The membership at present is around the 170 mark, including veterans of the Spanish-American War and men who -have seen service with the Canadian forces - in the fighting around Buller court. " - - - The "Fighting Battery," as it has been dubbed by high Army officers, will be called into the service on August 5, will undergo a. short period of training, prob ably at Monterey, Cal., and then will be dispatched to France for active service. "Th battery must reach war strength at once to uphold its enviable record," 'says Captain Bert V. Clayton, "and to do this every effort will be put forth during the coming few weeks before the Batter is 'mustered .into the Federal service. "This organization, through Its worthy efforts, has established & record that has been equaled by few- -of the field gun units of the country and in consequence has received a rating of third in efficiency in the National Guard of the United States. This may well be taken to mean that Battery A will be among the first to be sent to the front, although the Eastern organ izations are scheduled to leave first. Many Have Seen Service. "Of the 170 men in the Battery now, more than half are veterans of the Mexican border service, experienced horsemen and gunners, well versed in the handling of the three-inch pieces. "The recruits are being put through a short and Intensified training to bring them as far as possible up to the stand ard of the other men. Bach Sunday the troops are taken to the range at Clack amas for practical work. - "The men who answer the call at once will be at a decided advantage over those who will be drafted into the service and will have the added honor of volunteering. The country is in dire need of men and since most of the young men will be called upon to do their duty sooner or later, it will be much to their credit should they re spond now. School In Open to All. "The Battery is drilling ever Friday night at the Armory. On Tuesday nights school for non-commissioned officers Is held.

The Battery is still-in need of a horse shoer, several good mechanics and a cook. The pay for the enlisted men will be $30 a month, with $33 for first class privates and proportionate ad vances for the separate ranks of non commissioned officers. "Men between the aged of 18 and 40 may apply at the Armory at any time during the day or on Tuesday or Fri day nights for examination for en listment. We need recruits today, not tomorrow."

Mollie King, Leon Bary, Gladden James, Ralph fetuart and ' a mysterious individual known as the "Masked Stranger," are the principals in the cast. Peter Kale, whose inheritance of the Hale millions depends on his marriage to the sirl with a mark of the Double Cross on her arm, resorts to violence in this episode in an attempt to so4ve the problem. After an exciting1 auto mobile chase, he and Dick Annessley, cub' reporter, overhaul a-taxicab con taining a veiled woman Peter believes to be Philippa Brewster. 'You will fool me no longrer, Philip- pa, he says, as he tears the shoulder straps of her gown, baring- her right arm. There, as he expected, was the mark of the Double Cross. But his triumph was shortlived. The woman. lifting her veil, was an absolute stranger who had tricked him by painting the mark of the Double Cross on her arm. . The principal action of this episode centers about the attempt of Bridgey Bentley to force Philippa Brewster to marry him through love for her father, Hubert Brewster. Bentley has discovered the details of a secret stock transaction contemplated by Brewster. He knows that if this information is made public the Brewster family will be mined financially. Philippa, determined to save her father at any cost, agrees to sacrifice herself and marry the man she both fears and hates. Just in time her father learns of her contemplated sac rifice. He forbids the marriage, pre ferring his own financial destruction to his daughter's unhappiness. With a gun in the hands of Bentley pointed at his head, he gives orders to his brokers which will wipe out his for tune. Annessley, however, discovers the nefarious plot and. unknown to Brewster, countermands the orders, saving the day. 'OLD TIMERS' OH ROLL: RECORDS OF SALEMITES DISQIjOSE FOIBLES OP PROMINENT SIEX.
