WEEK, MULTNOMAH FIELD TO BE RENDEZVOUS. Mum in urn S TSs Non-Commissioned Officers to Be Taken From Battery A When Unit Is Admitted. NEW MEN ARE HIGH CLASS Jceadumade JL first Lieutenant Charles L. Johnson Is in Charge of Obtaining Vol unteers for New Field Ar- tillery Organization. Battery B, the new field artillery unit being recruited in the Oregon Na tional Guard, affords a fine opportu nity to patriotic young men to volun teer for war service and thus escape the draft. Of course, there is no disgvaoe at taching to beintt drafted. Just the same, a good many men do not entirely like the idea of goini? to war as conscripts. They have a rattling good opportunity to get on with a. first-class outfit and see Borne real war service shortly by enlisting in Battery B. Active recruiting for the new battery, the organization of which by AAJutant Oeneral George A. White was author ized fcy the War Department only last week, has been in progress onj y since Monday. Already, however, SO men have signed enlistment papers. lieutenant JoTun.ou In. Cbaerge. First Lieutenant Charles L. Johnson, of Battery A, who is In personal charge of the recruiting for the new battery. In especially pleased with the type of young men who have applied for en listment eo far. A larga number of them are out-of-town boys, norne of whom have tele phoned beforehan'3 to National Ouard recruiting headquarters, 108 Fifth street, to make sure there was room for them in the new battery. To all these i.aqulrles Lieutenant Johnson has replle.l that he Is clad to met men from outside of Portland, es pecially husky farmer lads who make splendid artillerymen. Men with a knowledge of horses are in particular demand. Among those' enlisting In Battery B yesterday was a maji from Rainier, Or., and another from Sheridan. In fact, the out-of-town boys are responding almost as fast aa- are those from Port land itself. Foil War Strength la 1BA. The full war strength of a battery of field artillery under the present regulations Is 199 men. Minimum strength necessary to be attained be fore the battery can be taken into the Federal service is 126 men. As soon as that number are enlisted, and the battery obtains official recog nition, Lleotenant Johnson saya it is planned to transfer a number of old batterymen from Battery A to the new unit. All the commissioned offloers and non-commissioned officers of Battery B will be taken from Battery A or from former service men who apply for enlistment, (several such have applied and been enlisted already. In fact, the new organization already gives prom ise of being a. crack unit In no time at alL - I nit to Go to "France, As soon as a few more men are en listed active drilling will begin. The battery will have the services of Ser geant Pletrlck, of the Sixth United States Field ArtlUery, a veteran of the regular Army, who is artillery Sergeant-instructor of the Oregon Na tional Guard. Battery B is asvured of active serv ice in France within a comparatively brief period. Artillery is one of the big needs of the United States expedi tionary force at present, and many units of artillery will be hurried to France within the near future. The men of the new Battery B hope and expect to be on their way across within a few months. "Be a volunteer' is the slogan of the new battery. Any man between the ages of 18 and 40 years, who can pass the physical examination and feels he would like to Join a volunteer organi zation before the draft becomes ef fective, will do well to drop In at 106 Fifth street, between Stark and Wash ington streets, and talk the question over with Lieutenant Johnson. db; graves hits trail SHnniDAV DENTIST MOTORS MILLS TO MICHIGAN. 2835 More Than Half Century A o "Parents Cross Platna In Prairie Schooner to Settle la Orecjon. BY F. JOHNSON. FPARTA, Mich.. July 7. (Special.) "When Ir. E. M. Graves, of Sheridan, Or., stopped his roadster In front of the Chapman farm, near this vtllagre, and greeted his sister, ATrs. Kugrene Chapman, he completed a trip of 2835 miles in two weeks that it took their parents six months to make in 1847. Dr. Graves is a dentist in the Ore gon town and a graduate of the dental department of the University of Mich igan. His class holds a reunion at Ann Arbor. Mich., this month. Back in 1847, his parents, in Missouri, started out in a prai rie schooner to find a home in the grreat West. After six months of Journeying and hardship they settled at Sheridan. AVhen the doctor hit the trail Kast he followed a part of the route his parents covered more than a half century apo. He av eraged more than 200 miles a day for the entire trip, encountering all sorts of roads and sleeping wherever night overtook him. This sounds like an adventure of & oungrster. And so it !. But this "boy" has white hair and whiskers and is 62 years "younsr.1 He comes from a fam ily of 11, all of whom are living;, ex cepting a sister, who was killed In an accident last year.

Advancing to the berth of chief petty officer since enlisting- in the Bprlns of 1914 Is what Marcus w: Holllns. a Port land boy, has accomplished In Uncle Sam's Navy, nLd that after having been temporarily out of the service for a few months. Mr. Holling is "doing his bit" In the "black ganis," having a natural knack with machinery, accounted for partially by the fact that his father, Marcus "V. X. Hollinsr. is chief machinist in the linotype department of The Oregonian, a berth he has filled for a number of years. First, the younger Holling took' to the Oregon Naval Militia, and to his efforts was due in a material degree the upbuilding of that division, he being a steady attendant St drills, on cruises and working up interest among his mates, so it was natural that he turned toward the Navy to work out some of the higher branches he longed to master. Shore experience, coupled with that gained in the Naval Militia, won for him the rating of machinist. Becond class, on being enlisted, and it was not long until 'his uniform was adorned with markings of the first class. Sick ness at the home of his parents, 909 Kast Couch street, drew him back in the Fall of 1916 and he obtained an ex tended furlough because o- his record In the service, the leave amounting al most to a discharge, yet when the United States declared a state of war with Germany, back to his ship went the Fortlander. Since rejoining the fighting forces he has won another promotion and op portunities continue to beckon. Being on a man-o'-war that rescued the crew of the wrecked schooner Nokomis. as signed to another that carried a Con gressional trade commission to Central America and Panama, being through the bombardment of Mazatlan and other troubles along the Mexican coast, while he has since participated in much urgent duty, are only general experi ences Mr. Holling has enjoyed, while voyages to ports he only dreamed of visiting before have stocked him witn a knowledge of the world's construc tion that is valuable.
