METEOROLOGIST HER Mr. and Mrs. Henry Blackman of Heppner, Or., who are visiting in Port land, guests at the Villa St. Clara, have three sons in the service. Mr. Black man is a prominent Eastern Oregon man. He was formerly a state senator, and In the Cleveland administration was collector of Internal revenue, with head quarters in Portland. His oldest son. Heppner Blackman, is with the Texas National Guard on border duty, which organisation will be taken over by the federal army. He is a cartoonist of note, having been with the San Fran cisco Bulletin, the New . York Herald and Telegram, and more recently with the Star-Telegram at Forth Worth, Texas. ' He has contributed many clever .'drawings for The Journal, and his work has been reprinted throughout the country. Leo 8. Blackman is now at Camp Leech, Washington, D, C, with the 37th regular Mining Engineers. He was in 1 uua wiiu mi -American - smelter ana Refiner company, Guggenheim inter ests, serving; as a mining- engineer, when he decided to return home to enter the service. He is a University of Cali fornia man. The third son of Mr, and Mrs. Black man. Abe B. Blackman, is at the offi cers" training school at San Diego, Cal., having entered the naval reserve Apfll m U. 1 ii j ... . - mci ijr iiyou m roruana, ana was employed by The Journal Circula tion department for some time. He was graduated from the University of Ore gon. I ."One marine after being brutally and shamefully treated at the hand nt t. enemy was returned to the American line," writes a former Grants Pass, Or., boy, Florin Sauer, a marine, who has been serving in a hospital In Paris. He is relating a story told him by a wounded marine. "Upon seeing the terrible con dition of this one marine, the others let out a yell and dashed madly across No Man's Land and captured 27 Bodies, and after treating them as the marine had been treated, they were allowed to re turn to their own lines, so the others might see that the American paid debts of ingratitude at the ratio of 27 to L "After working all nlsht wttti ou wounded brother marines, we swore that we' should have revenge. We told our captain that we wanted to give up the battle of Paris and go to the front - u .vivgrapnio oraer i await ing approval In Washington now. So I hope that in' the near future I may be cutting notches in my rifle and avenging the death of my compatriots. "Some of the Boche call us the blue devils, and some call us the devil's dogs. As soon as they see a marine coming across No Man's Land with a piece of cold steel on bis rifle they start making tracks for Berlin, that is, those who are not strapped to their machine guns. The worst they can do is to set up on their knees and holler kamerad.' Their plea for life is very dramatic, they plead that for the sake of their wife and children their life should be spared. But the marine never argues with them. He acts as the Boche would if the condi tions were reversed. There are so many things I could tell you but couldn't write, so be prepared to listen to a long story when X come home." - .
