Next Sunday morning Captain K. K. Knox, with the other officers of Fifth Company, Coast Artillery Corps, will entrain for Fort Stevens where they will begin a two weeks' camp for the purpose of studying and practicing on the big guns at the fort at the mouth of the Columbia. This two weeks' drill is of extreme importance to the men of the company, for it is all that they sec of the forts during the whole year. I.axt year the company made an cu viulhc record with the 10-inch riflea and other pieces of heavy ordnance,. Handing fourth in the United Stales in firing the 10-inch guns. Employers Should Cooperate Captain Knox states that the com pany Is now recruited up lo between 90 and 95 members. A few more arc needed to fill up to complete war footing. It is desired that every mem ber attend encampment and get as much experience handling the fort armament as possible. Most of the company it ready to leave, but some employers are refusing to let men go with the promise that their jobs will lie ready fur them when they return. Some of the company arc afraid to a-k to get off for fear of loaing their jobs.

It is they who stand at the font along the coast and guard again! the approach of the enemy. They are among the most highly trained and skilled men in the serv ice. While much of the work is fig ured out and done by mathematics, they, nevertheless require lots of spe cial training and are much more technical than the ordinary infantry or cavalry soldiers. The training that they get at summer camps is putting into practice what they have been studying all winter, and is of Ihc ut most importance. No employer should Mainlin the way of men in their pay going lo the annual camp. Hut very few employers have un willingly granted their men the privi lege of encampments. J. Royal Shaw manager of Ihc Hammond Lumber Company, at Mill City, writes Captain Knox that all the men in the corps in their employ shall be willingly grant ed the leave of absence and'have their jobs on their return. In the ease of killed men who have been in their employ for a number of years, they will grant them full pay while they are gone. This docs not apply lo common laborers, which is a floating class as a rule. Similar reports have come from other Sources. Throughout the entire country there is an awakening to the realization of the unprepareduess of this country, and large business men and corpora tions are aidin gtl.c movement in a material way. The Fox Film Corpo ration, employing over 15,000 people, many of them high-salaried actors and directors, has offered to keep on the pay roll at full pay any of their men who go to Mexico. The Vitagraph Corporation is doing the same. So arc many large automobile manufac turers and the directors of railroads, and other large concerns.. .
