THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 19, 1922
will henceforth be !
BY HARRY B. CRITCHLOW.
THE man who would single out
one division, brigade or regi
ment and endeavor to convince
tho public that it was the best of all
that aerved In the A. E. F. would
bring down upon himself a storm of
criticism with which might be min
gled requests that he be placed In
some institution lor the simple
minded. There were bo many organizations
that made good with a vengeance
that to single out one and place It
above the others would be folly.
Go to the state of "Montana today
and ask what regiment was the
greatest of the war and there will be
no hesitancy In the reply. Every man
will stand up and declare that the
362d Infantry of the 91st was the
greatest.
Although Its men were for the most
part from Montana, it was this regi
ment, with the threo others of the
91st division, that carried the name
of Oregon into the dispatches when
the first phase of the Meuse-Argonne
was at its height.
There was something about the or
ganization that marked it as distinc
tive. Its men were drafted from the
ranches, the mines and the mountains
of Montana. They were in fact a
"hard lot." When the first draft was
rounded up and placfd on the trains
ready to leave the various parts of
Montana for Camp Lewis most of the
men were armed with two things
whisky and euns. They had guns be
cause they were going to. war; whisky
because they wanted to ieei gooa
while they were going.
It was Impossible for the officers
who had been placed in charge of the
trains to exercise any restraint over
the men they did as they pleased.
It has been said that they forced one
officer out of the train at a station
and caused him to climb a telephone
pole. One negro porter was hurled
through a window of one of the
trains.
When they arrived at -Camp Lewis
they for the first time realized what
military discipline was. The news of
their approaching arrival had gone
ahead of them. Camp Lewis was pre
pared. ' Down at the station were men
who could handle almost any situa
tion. As the Montana recruits
stepped off the train they stepped
into discipline. Each man walked be
tween two barrels. In one he depos
ited his whisky and in the other his
guns.
Once in camp, the men went at
their tasks seriously. They took pride
In their work. They became military.
Many a firstrClass cow-puncher was
developed into a first-class infantry
man. Colonel Pegram Whitworth, now in
Portland as chief of staff of the 96th
division, was the commander of the
362d. He knew how to handle the
men under him and he made soldiers
ot them. x
When the organization, after hav
ing arrived in France, was sent to
tlie Meuse-Argonne it made a name
for itself and for Montana that will
live in war history. Colonel John
Henry Parker, known as "Gatling
Gun," became the commander after
Colonel Whitworth had been pro
moted and transferred. Parker was
brave to the point of recklessness. He
was a fighting man and could take no
other part.
The afternoon of September 29,
1918, came. In the days that had pre
ceded the regiment had paid a dread
ful toll of lives. The regiment was
then just back of the town of Eppin
onville. Colonel Parker received or
ders "to advanc- and take the town
of Gesnes at any cost."
Then from this officer came the
greatest exemplification of the ""gen
tle art" of cussing that even the Mon
tana men had ever heard. To take
Gesnes would mean a terrible slaugh
ter, but there was no hesitating. The
regiment formed and with the 361st
in support started the drive.
Those who could observe from
heights to the rear never saw such a
sight as they beheld that afternoon.
There was never a breaking of the
line, save where some man would be
come a toll of the enemy and fall
either dead or wounded. Then the
line would spread and cover the
vacant ranks. There was no falter
ing. "Lige" Worsham, well known in
Portland; "Spec" Hurlburt, Multno
mah football star, and hundreds of
others went, to their deaths that
afternoon.
Colonel Parker was wounded and
for a time directed the advance from
a shell hole where he had been car
ried. The organization took the town
of Gesnes "at any cost and that cost
had been more than 1000 casualties.
By taking the town the regiment had
established itself as the only one to
have taken its objective on the entire
line of nine divisions that day. The
flanking division on the left was
more than six kilometers in the rear
and the one on the right was four
kilometers behind.
It was the day that western men
demonstrated their real fighting
worth. It was a day that Montana
will never forget and that Oregon
should hold sacred.
At a recent meeting of Hood River
post of the American Legion Edward
Van Horn and Robert Shoemaker,
past commanders, were recipients of
past commander badges. The worn
en's auxiliary furnished refreshments.
With D. L. Love of Junction City
as president the Lane county council
of the American Legion was formed
February 4 in Eugene. Other offi
cers elected were Merville J. Thomp
son of CresswelL vice-president, and
Ralph E. Jackson of Eugene, secre
tary and treasurer. The next meet
ing of the council will be held in
Junction City March 4. A resolu
tion opposing the "employment of
aliens in preference to veterans was
adopted by the council.
The American Federation of Labor
favors the adjusted compensation bill
for ex-soldiers, Daniel J. ToWn, treas
urer of the federation, has informed
the American. Legion. But it does not
favor a sales tax as a means of rais
lng the money.
The oltfest and the youngest vet-
eran of the' world war are members
of the same American Legion post

who saw active duty at 80, and S. F.

E. C. Sheppart, wounded ex-soldier,
began his honeymoon in New York
city. He awoke while wandering the
streets of Rochester, N. Y.. unable to
recall his name or where' he had left
his bride. He is now in a hospital
where the American Legion is caring
for him. His lapse of memory is be
lieved due to war injuries.
No more patriotic and inspiring
programme for Washington s birth
day could be arranged than that
which is to take place In the munic
ipal auditorium on the night of Feb
ruary 22. A large number of new
citizens who have passed the nat
urallzatlon requirements will take the
oath administered by Judge Wolver
ton of the federal bench.
Another interesting feature of the
evening will be the naturalization of
number of veterans of the world
ago, despite their fighting for Amey- can Legion and
ica, have been citizens of other coun
tries. ' . "
During the course of the pro
gramme these , veterans Will be pre
sented with memberships in Portland
post of the American Legion. Glen
E. Miller, of G. E. Miller & Co., who
recently became a member of the
Legion, has .announced that he will
furnish funds to pay the dues or the
new citizens in the veterans' organU
zation.
"I know of no better way to per
petuate American ideas and ideals In
the minds of these new citizens than
to make them members of the
Legion," said Mr. Miller yesterday.
Veterans' organizations of the city
will have - representatives in large
numbers at the meeting in the audi
torium. The American Legion, Grand

A patriotic meeting of the Auxiliary
of Scout Young camp of the Spanish-
American War Veterans will be held
in room 525, courthouse, Tuesday
evening, .February 28. Members of
Scout Young camp will be the guests,

Preparations are being made by the
American Legion of Independence
for the presentation of a home talent

month. The auxiliary will co-operate
with the post.
The first of a series of social af

This was decided at the regular meet
ing of the post held recently.

Ray Johnson American Legion post
of Redmond decided at the last regu
lar meeting to start work on the
proposed, swimming tank and club
house, as soon as possible. A com
mittee composed of Mayor Hosch, O:
B. Hardy and Douglas Mullarky was
appointed by Commander. Smith to
make arrangements for construction.
Th tank Is to be 80. feet by 70 feet
with a depth of three and one-half
feet to nine and one-half feet. ..It
will -be equipped with lockers and
shower rooms. The post recently pur
chased a block in the southwestern
part of town on which the tank and
clubhouse are to be constructed.
; m
A French railroad train was ever
a source of merriment to the Yank
who viewed it for the first time, but
the steam tramway from La Rochelle
to La Pallice was In a class by itself.
In a country of antiquated transpor
tation systems, this one was unique
in its semblance of belonging to an
extinct species. !
The motive power of the system
consisted of a tank of compressed
steam, carried on top of the tram.
This tank carried enough steam, un
der ordinary conditions, to propel the
volture half way from one terminus
to the other. At the half-way point,
a second steam tank was kept in
readiness, resting upon a pair of
crude forks. When the tram reached
this point, it stopped, and the men
and women making up the crew un
limbered a ladder from the side of
the car, mounted to ,the roof, discon
nected and removed the exhausted
tank and substituted the fresh one.
The chief drawback to the system
was a long hill between La Rochelle
and La Pallice. Picture it for your
self. Along comes the tram, carrying
many Yanks and a few Frenchmen.
Bravely it starts up the hill, but
stalls on the grade. The engineer
cannot shift gears. All he can do is
to back up a kilometer or so and
jnake another run at the hill. If he
clears the top thisj time, all -well and
good, but if the car stalls a second
time, great Is the concern of the
French passengers, for the contrap
tion will not be able to stop aga'n,
because of the shortage of steam, be
fore it reaches La Pallice. So those
who live between the hill and the
end of the line will have to walk
back. :
watching the steam tram try to,
make the grade, with all the passen
gers lending their moral and vocal
support, constituted one of the fa
vorite outdoor sports of American
soldiers stationed in the big remount
camp in, the neighborhood.
A military "hop" is being planned
by the local chapter of the Society
of the Army of the United States
for the night of February 28. The
affair will be held in the armory and
will be open to all officers of the
regular army, national guard and re
serve corps.
Captain Thomas W. Gillard, of the
infantry officers' reserve corps, has
returned from Camp Benning, Ga.,
where he was' a student in the in
fantry school. Out of a class of 81
officers of the reserve corps and the
national guard he graduated with' the
third highest standing. His final rat
ing was 94 per cent. He represented
the 96th division of the organized re
serves and was appointed to the camp
by Colonel Pegram Whitworth.
.The next meeting of Gordon Gran
ger post of the G. A. R. will be held
Thursday, February 16, and at thisi
time Dr. W. T. McElveen will give a I
short lecture, to which visitors from j
other posts have been Invited. At I
the meeting on February 2 Depart
ment commander Williams gave an
address.
The Spokane American Legion post
has on file what is said to be one of
the only four, complete war depart
ment lists of American dead in the
world war. It contains several thou
sand names, but has not yet been
bound in permanent form for ready
reference.
"One of the legion members was de
tailed in the filing department of the
war department and he secured this
list, which he has given to the Spo
kane post," said Frank Potter, man
aging secretary for the Spokane le
gion. "I can't remember his name."
The list is said to bear the name of
every fighting man who was killed
or died during the period the United
States was. in the war. The names
are now compiled on loose sheets, but
they will be bound later.
-.
Members of Clatskanie post of the
American Legion who are in govern
ment hospitals are to be cared for
by their comrades. - At the last meet
ing of the organization a motion was
carried vto provide two members now
in hospitals wltrh flowers, candies.
smokes ; and other things they may
need or enjoy. .
. .
Scout Young camp of the Spanish-
American war veterans is to stand
behind the American Legion in the
fight against the Japanese. This was
the sentiment of the members ex
pressed at the meeting held Tuesday
evening In the courthouse. The or
anizatlon believes that something
snouitt be done to eliminate the Jana
nesa irom remunerative employments
wncn-conditions exist that permit ex
service men to walk the streets un
employed.' -
Snow and ice held no terrors for
E. A. Adams, world war veteran, when
:t became necessary for him to reach
Bend on the night of February 11 to
attend an initiation of the 40 hommes
and 8 cheveaux. He hiked 18 miles
on.snowshoes and mushed it the re
mainder of 35 miles to reach Bend.
Adams fought in the Spanish-American
war and. was wounded in France
during th world war.
Arrangements have been made
whereby the American Legion of Al
bany is to take over the community
house as its headquarters. The build
ing will still be used for community
purposes but will be headquarters for
the legion and its activities.
. . .
Grants Pass post of the American
Legion has shown a substantial gain
in membership during the last few
months. It now has 40 per cent more
members than it had this time last
year. The drive for new members
conducted recently netted good re
sults. The post is planning to hold
8n entertainment on February 23. At
this time the auxiliary will serve a
supper. me organization plans to
purchase a tract of land that is to
come under irrigation, as a means of
raising money, for a memorial build
ing.
A. K. Dorris of bcappoose. Or., has
presented the application of the serv
ice men of that district for a post of
tne American Legion. The applies
tion will be submitted to the depart
ment executive committee at its com
ing meeting in Portland for ratifica
tion. It has been named Scappoose

An effort is being made to obtain
a Portland delegation to go to the
second annual reunion of veterans of
the 18th engineers (railway), to be
held in San Francisco on Tuesday,
February 21.
K. D. Hauser. of the Hauser Con
struction company and formerly
major in the outfit, received a letter
from- Charles F. Woodmansee, chair
man of the entertainment committee,
announcing that the reunion will be
held in Eagles' hall, 273 Golden Gate
avenue. There will be a banquet and
various kinds of stunts and rem'n
iscences. , .

How many veterans of the war will
be sent to congress at the November
elections is a question upon which
there is much speculation in cohgres
sional circles. A ; canvass by the
American Legion shows that at pres
ent 31 members of the house are ex-
service men and two of the senators
Newberry (Michigan) and Elkins
(West Virginia).
Twenty-one states are represented
by ex-service men in congress. New

Jim Beckett was an ex-marine and
an ex-sergeant to boot, he would
probably nave addressed his myste
rious message to some- less hard
boiled person.
Beckett recently showed members
of his American Legion post a note
from Madrid, Spain, addressed to a
deceased uncle. The writer, who
signed himself "R. de S." and who
explained that he was in jail,, pur
ported to be the owner of baggage
held by the registrar of courts. He
stated that two checks, payable to
bearer, totaling $360,000, were con
tained in a secret pocket of his port
manteau and offered to give the re
cipient of his letter one-third share,
or $120,000, if he would pay the court
costs. Beckett is asked to cable a
friend of the imprisoned man for fur
ther information. This he has done,
and on the receipt of the reply will
turn over the papers to the authori
ties. Meantime the former sergeant
is not building any-castles in Spain.
A recent dispatch from Paris, re
ceived here warns against the recur
rence of an "old Spanish prison swin
dle," .and. lays blame on the conniv
ance of corrupt Spanish police offi
cials. What principally interests the
Imperturbable Beckett is the signa
ture, "R. de S.," which, he says, stands
for "Roll dem Spheroids."
Portland post of the American
Legion is still campaigning for an in
creased membership and the new
names on the rolls of the organiza
tion are steadily growing. Many men
who have not heretofore taken ad
vantage of the legion and the oppor
tunities that it offers to ex service
men are now going to the American
Legion building at Fourth and Wash
ington streets and paying their dues
for the year.
We desire that every ex-service
man in Portland who Is qualified be
come a member of the Legion," de
clared Commander James J. Crossley
yesterday. "We also desire that those
who have neglected their own best
interests and have failed to pay their
dues get back on the band wagon and
join us. Portland post needs every
member it can ,get and every veteran
needs Portland post."
The initiation fee of $2 has been
removed during the present month.
An applicant for membership has now
only to pay the year's dues of $4 and
he Is in good standing until January
1923.
Old members should now pay their
dues. The American Legion year Is
from January 1 to January 1. After
March 1, national headquarters cuts
delinquents from the mailing lists of
the American Legion weekly. Pay up
and remain in good standing. ,
f
Every possible effort of the Ameri
can Legion employment committee is
being directed towards the placing of
veterans in jobs, but hundreds still
walk the streets hungry and are fast
reaching the point of desperation. In
walking four blocks on one of Port
land's principal streets the other day
a veteran discovered four aliens in
positions of a kind sufficient to pay
them a substantial Income.
This same veteran could have
walked one block out of his way to
the American Legion employment bf
fice on Fourth street and there found
scores of men reduced to that point
of need1 where they are willing to do
anything that will earn them sup
port for (.heir families and them
selves. These men, now suffering the
privations of unemployment, are
American citizens. They are men
who demonstrated their worth as
citizens when others, now . driving
limousines and safely entrenched in
soft" jobs, were in the shipyards,
The four men observed on one of
the principal streets by the veteran
are not citizens of this country and
they never can be. They are here
for a few years to amass what money
tl ey can; then they will pack up and
return across the Pacific to live a
life of comfort. They are contribut
ing nothing to the good of this coun
try, nor will they ever contribute
anything of good. They are employed
here but their loyalty is for another
country.
Is it fair for those who are here
for selfish purposes, who have no in
terests in the welfare of this coun
try, to be safely employed, while men
deserving of all that can be given
them still plead for employment?

These are days when every dollar counts. Invested in furniture at today's lower prices, the purchasing
power of your dollar is greater than it has been in years. At Gadsbys' the average level of prices
throughout the store is practically half that, of a year ago ! Surely that's getting prices down where you
want them ! It is not surprising that the thrifty-minded people of the entire community are looking here
for their furniture. There is no doubt but what the public knows values and appreciates the fact that
our furniture prices are down to the lowest possible levels.
