Company Plans For
Call on July IS
The exact date upon which the 1st
company, Oregon Coast Artillery,
will be called Is not known, but the
company men are laying their plans
with the expectation of a call on
July 15. When they are called they
will mobilize at "the armory in Ash
land, where they will remain for pos
sibly ten day3 or longer. When the
call for state mobilization comes the
twelve Coast rtlllery companies will
be transmitted, to Fort Stevens. The
date for draft has not been set and
the officers of the Coast Artillery
know no more about the date than,
the men, but it is expected that the
Oregon Coast Artillery will be mus
tered into the federal service soon
after state mobilization takes place.
Where they will be taken then Is un
known.
Destination Unknown.
Just where the local company will
land up and in what branch of serv
Ice is unknown. The officers at the
.recent meeting at Portland, from
which First Lieutenant Den M. Spen
cer returned Monday, were of the
consensus of opinion on one ques
tion, deciding that there was no pos
sibility of the company being con
verted into field artillery to handle
the light field guns. If it is sent to
France as artillery the Ashland boys
will man big 12, 14 or 16 inch guns
similar to the ones used for coast de
fense. These guns are nred on the
battlefront to batter down the sec
ondary lines of defense.
There is also a chance that the
Coast Artillery will be converted into
Infantry.
i Lieutenant Spencer says that the
meeting at Portland resulted In a
good many revelations, chief among
which was that this war and the
training which the Ashland company
must undergo Is entlerly different
from anything of the past. He says
during the meeting the sessions last
ed from 7 a. m. to 1 a. m. and that
it was something new every minute.
Adjutant White stated that the
winning of the war depended upon
three things: The heavy artillery,
the aeroplane and the bayonet. Rifle
markman3hlp is becoming a necessity
of the past, and in fact there are two
lull regiments on the French front
armed with nothing but hardwood
clubs.
The hoys of the local company are
"rarin to go." and with the spirit
which makes real Uncle Sam's sol
diers are ready for whatever work
the powers that be designate. With
the possibility of being sent to the
battlefront within a year, the work
has taken on a new seriousness and
the 1st company men are throwing
themselves into it .heart and soul.
Captain Malone will be here within
a week to assume command of the
company. "':;
