i THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PO RTLAND, FRIDAY. APRIL 12. 1918: AD CLUB OBSERVES LIBERTY LOAN DAY WITH ENTHUSIASM Old Fire Befl Sounds Outside While Speechmaking Takes ,' Place Inside Benson Hotel. DAUGHTERS OF FORMER CZAR SUPPORT BOLSHEVIK! ; With a huirs Liberty Bell borrowed ; from the fire department ringing- loudly ; outside and with Willie Ritchie, ex llKhtwelfht champion, dividing time with Major D. F. Sturrock and Lieutenant J. W. Warren, Canadian veterans, "Ad club day" In the Liberty loan campaign "was observed' in rousing style at the ; Benson hotel Wednesday afternoon. Following the luncheon program, the Ad men paraded to Liberty Temple to quick step music furnished by Camp bell' band and with the Liberty Bell and a gun shooting disks, advertising the loan as the "floats." Here Frank Mc Crillls, president of the club, presided and Captain Leader Humphries made the address. "The man who says that he feels no fear when under fire either has some thing wrong with him or he Is an awful liar," whs one of Major Sturrock's ex pressions. "When I waa at the front, -'the Uermans were accustomed to give us in artillery fire what we called their morning and evening 'hates.' Once while I was out looking after my men. one of these 'hates' started up with in- descrtbable fury. The fire caught me alone In one of the communication trenches. Shells seemed to be hitting ' every place but where I waf. so I. stayed where I was. It was a nerve racking experience. The bombardment lasted one hour and 20 minutes. Gradually I ; came to believe that all my men had ' been wiped out. I felt absolutely alone In the world. Then fear left me. Rather than have to survive my men I hoped !a shell would come along and put me out of huxlness. But as suddenly as , the 'hate' began it ended, I went out tto see what had been the destruction. Just around a turn I met one of my sol , dlers all spattered. 'How are you coining on?' I asked him. 'Fine, sir,' he ' artswered and only the habits of dls ' clpllne kept me from kissing him." Willie Kltchle, aided by Muff Bronson, gave a demonstration of how he teaches ; soldiers to be more adept in bayonet charges by learning how to use their fists. Learning to box,' he added.

Pro vost Marshal General Crowder Thursday ordered a thorough investigation of lo cal draft board classifications in districts where the percentage of class one men Is singularly small. The inquiries are the result of con gressional opposition to Crowder plan to base the quotas for future drafts on the number In class one, instead of the total number registered on the popula tion. In some districts, comparatively few, the percentage of class one men is only 17, while In other districts it is 45 to 50. Several congressmen claim that some local boards have , deliberately adopted the policy of cutting down the percent age of class 1 men to keep their quotas lower. "The investigations are beln ordered just as rapidly as it is found there is the least cause for one," it was stated at the provoat marshal general's office. Hood River. Or, April 12. Mayor H. L.
