Of the 142S men, comprising the
lighting force of the Oregon National
Guard, all are subject to summons
for field duty In case of war. Under
the? new Dick bill thoy may bo sent
anywhere the government desires for
nine- months. It Is noteworthy that
under this bill a call for volunteers
for army service cannot be Issued by
the government until the full fighting
force of the National Guard has been
utilized. Npr can regiments be divid
ed, a part being sent here and a part
there, as in the past. They train as
fighting units and they are to enter
the field as the yare drilled.
Artillery is a branch of the service
generally disliked by both the sol
diers of the regular army and the
guardsmen. In time of war, men as
a rule, dislike being cooped up In a
fort, they want to take the field,
where they are either in action or
anticipation of It almost constantly.
Last summer Fort Stevens and other
coast batteries were from GO to SO
men short.
It is to meet this emergency for
guardsmen regard it as such that
the government is trying to meet. It
Is believed a solution of the prob
lem lies In recruiting' artillerymen
for the guard. Men trained as In
fantrymen object to being .transfer
red to artillery duty, but with any
prospect of a war, the heads of the
militia think they would experience
no difficulty In forming independent
artillery companies. The Adjutant
Generals of Oregon, Washington and
California, are now In Washington, D.
C, conferring with General Oliver,
relative to this plan. Adjutant-General
Flnzer is expected to be in Port
land about February 1.
There are many causes for the gen
eral belief that war may be Immi
nent. The most potent, of course.
Is the dispatch of the United States
fleet to the Pacific, guardsmen say
ing that something "must be behind
the movement." Even if the step
be regarded as precautionary, a deal
cf significance Is felt to attach to it
Taken in conjunction with the desirt
t" recr iit artillery posts with guar ls
men, officers and men are on the
alert and looking for the next move
which they think will come soon.
It Is known that recently many cl
.pher dispatches have been received
at Vancouver Barracks. While this
would not ordinarily excite more
than passing interest, the rather
tense situation causes it to be the
subject of widespread comment
among tlie militiamen.

EVANGELIST MARTIN
ASTONISHES AUDIENCE
Beyond all previous efforts, Dr. S.
M. Martin last night simply amazed
his hearers by the wonderful clear
ness and simplicity with which he
presented his theme. Every one came
expecting something good, but such
a grand portrayal of the vivid truth
as he gave was beyond anticipation.
in treating his theme, "Why I 13,!
long to the Christian Church," he
had no hesitancy whatever in statin
his reasons In a clear and kind spirit.
He did not sail out a short distance
from port and become lost from the
viewpoint of his hearers' understand
ing. Really, the farther he sailed
the easier it was to see him and his
surroundings till finally, in the dis
tance at first, then nearer, appeared
the ultimate goal, the goal which
with the eyu seamed but a Hazy blot,
but with tile toh scone of true reason
became the liavi n of rest.
The multitudes which crowded the
church last night will never forget
the vivid and vonvlncing demonstra-j

of Eugene. No offering will be ta

the most important in the . U. 1. A.

defeated by Koseburg, it Is mora im
portant that the local boys win from
the Capital City team. If only because
of tho intense rivalry between the
schools that are so nearly the same
size and strength.
The girls' game will be of great in

players who have befoiv contested
against each other on tho same floor.

Advance Bravery.
If you should meet a holdup man
I'pon a lonely way
Who asked you for your watch and chain
And all your weekly puy.
What would be to ihls brazen one '
The form of your reply?
Would you say. "No; It cannot wai,"
Or would you straight comply?
No doubt you have an answer framed,
A course of action laid
To show unfo the robber bold
That you are not afraid.
But when you come to try It out
In all Its large designs.
Just as arranged and specified.
You may forget your lines.
It seems a snap to stop him with
The glitter of your eye
Afld when he Is subdued and tamed
To order him to fly;
To make him think your key ring Is
A nickel plated gun
And that ho will at sight of It
Take to his heels and run.
Perhaps when he talks business you
Will vanquish him with ease,
But U Is likely that you will
Get stage fright In your knees.
And that. Instead of talking loud
And putting him to rout. '
Tou will at onco throw up your hands
And gracefully shell out.
A Good Way Off.
