BHORT HISTORY OP THE FIRST
LIBERTY LOAN
On the 6th day of April, 1917, a
state of war was declared as existing
between the United States and Ger
many. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo Immediately advised con
gress of the financial necessities of
the country1, and on the 24th of April
the greatest bond bill in the history
of the United States and one of the
greatest of the world ,was passed by
a practically unanimous vote by both
houses of congress, The law author
ized t,he issue of $5,000,000,000 In
bonds and 12,000,000,000 In certifi
cates of Indebtedness. On' the . 2nd
day of May It was announced that the
first .bond Issue was to be for $2,
000,000,000 and the entire Issue was
named the Liberty Loan of 1917. On
the 14th day of May the details of
the bonds were made public and sub
scriptions formally Invited. The
campaign opened on the 15th day of
May and closed on the 15th day of
June with the result that over 4,000,
000 American citizens of every sec
tion, (race, class and condition sub
scribed to Liberty Loan bonds and
the segregate amount of their sub
ncrlptlons was well over 13,000,000,
400. The four great outstanding fea
tures of the first Liberty Loan have
been said to be the promptness with
which the Issue was arranged and
disposed of, the patriotism, earnest
ness and efficiency which marked
the campaign, the magnificent result

would put men fighters to flight. In
the early days following the discov
ery of the American continent, there
were many tribes with women "Ama
zon" fighters. The explorers were
afraid of them, as they fought with
tremendous tenacity and fearlessness
of death. '"
Also the day has gone Dy when you
can eet any particular limits to the
things women should do. They will
(make their own limits. They are en
tering lines of work formerly closed,
and in a few years will be all through
'our factories.
But this does not mean that It
'would be wise to let a regiment of
them go Into the front line trenches.
Such a use of their devotion would
be accepted as a sign of weakness by
their foes, They would say that our
'men refused to fight, therefore the
women had to, as was the case in
Russia. ,
Fortunately our men are no slack
ers. They still claim fighting as their
business, and they will attend to that
end of It They would not willingly
expose women to the special perils
arising from their sex. There are,
however, a multitude of tasks behind
the firing lines that women can per
form, and thousands are doing these
things now. Volunteer effort has its
own unique quality and enthusiasm.
If women feel like enlisting and
forming groups for war service, there
are plenty of tasks they could ,very
well assume. ,
WOMEN AS SOLDIERS.
It was recently reported that 1,200
romen ot Texas and Oklahoma,
mostly wives of soldiers, had volun
teered to form a regiment which, if
necessary, would fight in the trench
es. Their suggestion was, however,

Newsy Letter From
Our Ex-City Editor
(By Lynn D. Mowat.)
Fort Stevens, Ore., Sept. 28.
They .are Just merely typical of the
spirit of the Oregon regiment of
Coast artillery and, no doubt, of the
American volunteers in general. A
student of psychology might be able
to "explain the underlying causes, but
the soldier doesn't reason back to
causes; he does what the other fel
low does and lets it go at that. Here
are two Instances, both typical: Im
agine that it is late in the afternoon.
Imagine twelve tents filled with
young fellows, most of them lying on
their bunks and chatting. A bugle
call. The cry, "First company fall
in." And listen to the usual ran of
remarks passed around while a grum
bling line is formed grumbling that
is replaced by silence as the sergeant
In command- calls "Attention."
"Well, for, the love of Mike, can't
they give a fellow a minute's rest?"
"Gee whiz, this army life is Just
one thing after another."
"If I ever get out of the army "
And so on until one would think
the whole company was going out to
be shot Instead of merely to stand in
line five minutes for rollcall.
And on the other hand:
Last Wednesday the whole regi
ment left camp in the morning for
the customary weekly hike, all, at
least, . except a few fortunates from
the Ashland company who are de
tailed to special Jobs and miss the
company drill. It rained all day; not
such a drizzle as we call rain In the
Rogue valley, but a steady pour. The
regiment marched probably ten miles.
And. with a gun, bayonet, pack, can
teen and a few other minor acces
sories tied onto one's person, ten
miles in Fort Stevens sand is equal to
twenty on a good path:, traveling
light. With the rain still coming
down, the drenched regiment tramped
back in at about 4 o'clock. Was
there any grumbling. Did every sol
dier curse the day he Joined the
army?
Not a word. But company after
company swung into camp, singing,
whistling and yelling "Everybody
happy," "Yea, Bo," "Anyone dowi
hearted?" and the customary answer.
While the chances are the whole gang
was tired clear through to the bone.
Grumble at the minor tasks and
undergo the real hardships with a
rollicking cheerfulness. It Is typical.
month, the state drill pay of last
week helping out to beat the band.
Miss Lydla McCall and Mrs. D.
Sawyer were camp visitors Friday.
Bob Wagner showed them over the
works and they met many of the fellows,.
Arthur Long received a couple of
fractured ribs, or rather received
fractures; In a couple of his ribs,
while playing in one of the scrub
games of football which are staged
every athletic day. Examination
proved the- injury to be only cracks
in the bone which will soon heal.
The homemade cookies and the
boxes of grapes which came in this
week's shipment made a great hit.
The grapes were the first that have
been on the tables at any of the
camps.
Friday and Saturday were the most
perfect days yet encountered, and
seemed more like June days in Ash
land than late September on the
coast.
The 1st company will go on the
range for target shooting some time
In the next few days. Much time has
been taken up recently with lectures
on sighting and practical sighting ex
ercises, There are several crack
shots in the company and the boys
hope to hang up both the Individual
and company records for this year.
All day long for the past week the
rattle of firing has continued, and the
range has been the busiest place
around the post. Several companies
have already completed their time on
the range.

around at odd Jobs like cutting brush
and the like. Making some of the
fatigue men work is very fatiguing,
according to the quintet of bosses.
Guy has it all over the rest by reason
of having a horse to ride. All he has
to do (s to ride over the whole reser
vation, and inspect everything' dally.
The new assignments of details
have left only about five squads out
of twelve, available for drill. The
classes A and B men are excused ;
from most of the company duties,
since their other duties require them
to be on the Job every day. The E
and F men are unlucky In the respect
that they are forced to take care of
the kitchen police work and other
camp details, but the kitchen is rath
er a popular place and no one minds
the'opportunlty to have all they want
at any time of day the privilege
which goes with assignment of kitch
en police.
v Two of the weekly hikes are past.
The first was a happy day spent in
an open meadow under a blue sky,
and was more like a picnic than sol
diering. The second a long march In
a rain. But not a man lagged on
either, and from the punch the men
put into their work it appears as If
the Coast Artillery was already in
first-class marching shape, should
they be called upon to march.
Harry Grubb has been detailed as
storekeeper at the artillery engineer's
office and has moved his cot into his
new quarters. Algle Loomls and
Murray Dougherty have been assign
ed as wharfingers in charge of the
government dock and see to It that
John Enders is notified whenever the
Captain James boat Is due. . (This is
a Joke; write to John for particulars).
The wharfingers are still sleeping at
camp but may move down to the
quarters a the dock later,.
Buglers Powell and Beaver are the
best in the west battery camp, with
out any exceptions. Bugler Towell
got out of bed on the wrong side the
other morning and blew retreat in
stead of reveille, but nobody ' was
enough awake' to notice the differ-!
ence and he got by with it. He Is'
learning to play "Marching Through
Georgia" on his bugle. As it only
has a range of five notes it leaves a
lot to Imagination. But then some
of the calls blown by the other bu
glers leave a lot to' imagination.
Those without imagination usually
ask the bugler what he is blowing.
One of the buglers from the nth
company Is in the habit of blowing
his calls with the music set up in
front of him. Just as ho w;as blowing
tatoo the other night the lights went
out and he had to call out the guard
o hold matches for him while he fin
ished the call.
