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.

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.

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

other troubles along the Mexican coast,
while he has since participated in much

voyages to ports he only dreamed of
