I AMONG the first Portland soldiers of the late war to receive his handsomely printed distinguish ed service cross citation Is Captain "Ward M. Ackley, former commander of company M of the 863d Infantry, 91st division. Captain Ackley had been dis charged at the Presidio and returned to his pre-war position with the Pacific Coast Biscuit company In Portland be fore the prized document bearing the signature of General John J. Pershing reached him through the mails. Only In rare instances, it is said, did heroes decorated in France receive the citation manuscript in time to carry it home with them. As yet the docu ment is so rare here, despite the num ber of men eventually scheduled to re ceive one, that Captain Ackley's copy lias been an object of keen Interest to those who have seen it. As he returned Captain Ackley wore on his breast the cross to which the document bears evidence that he Is entitled. This he received on Jan uary 30, In France. The heroic act which brought the honor citation for the Portland man was that of leading a platoon of men in the capture of a German machine gun nest, September 27, 191S, near Very. France. Captain Ackley led the way and cut the wire entanglements before a nest of 8 guns. Seven Ger mans were killed In the encounter and 15 were taken prisoner. As a result of the nearby detonation of a high explosive shell during this raid Captain Ackley suffered loss of hearing in one ear and had that of the other ear so fcadly impaired that he was given a certificate of disability upon dis charge. . Captain Ackley entered the war as a first lieutenant, having obtained bis commislon in the first officers' training camp at the Presidio. Captain Abercromble, his commander, was kill ed November 4. At that time Ackley vu made captain in the line, but he bad been leader of company M in the field for almost a month at that date.

Cordray of the Oaks, hen Director Ed Armstrong of the Armstrong Folly company announced Paqueta" as the new show at the Oaks auditorium for the week begin- ing Sunday. "And at the Oaks it Is free," Manager Cordray concluded. "Paqueta" is a melodious bit of Span ish operatic comedy enhanced by a umber of new and sensational musical and comedy features arranged especial ly for the current week by Director Armstrong and his aides. The theme pon which "Paqueta" Is built is the case of a pretty Spanish maid, a part nto which Miss Perqueta Courtney, leading lady, will fit perfectly, who is love with an heroic Spanish soldier. The match Is displeasing to the girl's parents, and an effort is made to force upon her a marriage with a wealthy ivilian. Dungeon scenes, ghost hire lings of conspiring parents and other novelty "stunts" appear during the performance. Miss Lillian Lewis, premier dancer. will offer an original Spanish dance at each Bhow during the week. The Arm strong trio, Farnsworth. Ives and Leahy, will render a number of Spanish operatic selections and a duet by Evans and Newton will be a special feature. One of the novelties of "Paquita" will be the lighted swing specialty. A bull fight, as true to life as the comedy element will allow, will be another of the spectacular features of "Paqueta."
