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. Is
t-unipulHory In army camps. Kltchle Is
boxing Instructor at Camp Lewis.

San Diego, i April 12. (I. N. S.) An
order by the "war department, effective
May lj compelling every civilian airplane
instructor of naval and army cadets to
enlist jln the service as a private or lose
his Job, has created a wave of indigna
tion among the many aviator instructors

Protests have been sent to the govern
ment and the aero club of America and
it Is said that unless the order is
revoked more than 185 civilian instructors-
in flying will leave aviation
training camps on May 1.
The war department order means that

to fiy must enlist as a first class private,
with a probable drop in salary from
$4000 a year to 130 a month.

General Crowder Will Investigate Where
Percentage of Class One Mea Are Be
low What They Apparently Should Be,
Washington, April 12. (U. P.) 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.
