TION ON COAST AND WHAT
IT MIST DO.
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. By attendance at this school,
which is open to all men in the Bat-
. iery, xney win stand a good cnance or

sources at any time while under fire.
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."

tity of the Girl of the Double Cross
intensified in "The Riddle of the
Cross," the title of the 12th chapter
of the Pathe serial-thriller, "The Mys
tery of the Double Cross being pre
sented at the Star Theater. 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.
