conver harracks to the aviation train

I'Voiti liftcen hundred to two Ihous
and, inehiding the high school stu
tlents and pupils from the other
schools, crowded around the Pullman
car lo greet the youthful future avia
tors, as the high school hand played
palmitic, airs. 1 lie crowd was
nsely packed between the denot
building and the train that it was
almost impossible for ono to move.
the aviators leaned out the car
windows and exchanged greetings
with lriemls nnd relatives in the
crowd, and reached down and shook
hands with those who crowded in
against the car. Several of the boys
jumped out llio car windows and
tried to mix with the assemblage,
but quickly gave it up.
Mothers, sweet -Hicurls nnd rela
tives, with tears ill their eves, found
it impossible to get close to their
loved ones for personal conversation.
In fact, many had lo pass their pack
ages of lunch, goodies and candy over
the heads of the crowd lo the ca'r.
A number of yearning parents
wauled lo drive their sons to Ash
land in automobiles, hoping thereby
ii. have a little visit, but the officer
in command of the aviation siuad re
fused permission for the boys lo leave
Ihe train.
Some relatives purchased tickets
to Ashhind, nnl managed to get
aboard the train, hoping to get into
Ihe aviation car and obtain (he longed
for visit. Still other relatives drove
on to Ashland.
Just as the train started to pull
out, Mutt Williamson, high school
basket ball slur, leaning away oul
of his car window, shouted : "Now,
let's nil spell Mclford high!" Al
once the high school body complied.
Ihe soldiers, nearly all former high
school students, joining in. liy tho
time Ihe yell was finished the trnin
wiis speeding southward, and the bi
impromptu demonstration was over.
In all. U4 young men from Mcd
l'ord and vicinity enlisted in the avia
tion corps, but not all were on the
train Tuesday, as spvi-nl of the boys
are ill at the Vancouver barracks,
si ill suffering from their typhoid and
small pox inoculation. (Juite a num
ber of the new air soldiers were oil her
Ibis year's graduating class ot llm
high school, or were graduates, hence
Ihe keen interest of the high school
hory in greeting the soldiers Tuesday.
The school, headed by its baud,
marched to the depot in a body.
A conspicuous feature of the de
pot demonstration was the eompli
inentary attendance of Company I,
O. X. (I., Wooilbum, Ore., whose
members were drawn up at atten
tion at one side of the crowd.

ATTACK MADE IN SV0RM.

the wounded men retain whistling or

The crowded cagt s for prisoners ut

Kulislincnls in Ihe 7th company
(oust .Artillery corps have now reach
ed 10K men, being the maximum num
ber for n peace strength company
Orders have been received however to
continue to take enlistments and hold
the papers pending action bv eon
gress on the army bills now before
it for action. It is expected that au
thority will be given to enlist all mil
ilia organi.ations to full war
strength of 50 men.
It is not expected (hat any further
units of the National Guard will be
mobili.ed until congress hns definite
ly defined the method by which the
new army of two million men will he
raised. This will take probably two
weeks or more, during which time re
cruiting will continue up to the time
mohiliation is ordered.
Anyone contemplating enlisting in
le 7th company should do so ut
once as the full number allowed is
now practically secured and to delay
longer might result in being trnns-
Icrrcd to some other arm of tho
service not so desirable lis the coast
artillery. Many old members who
hnye moved to other localities have
wired or written to hold places for
lliem in the company and they would
report at once when called upon.
I here is now no doubt whatever that
the company will leave with 150 men
ill the ranks.
Kvcry position is now filled with
experienced men, except -the position
of cooks, of which two or more are
needed. One of the former cooks has
moved to Eugene and transferred lo
in '2nd Company of the Coast Artil
lery corps nnd the other has trans
ferred lo the regular army. The 7lh
Company is therefore greatly in need
of two cooks who have had exper
ience in large camps such as railroad
construction camps or in large res
taurants. Enlistments as cooks will
bo doubly welcomed by the company.
Enlistment of Iwo experienced
cooks in the 7th company is greatly
desired, announces Captain Vance.
Holh conks formerly with the com
pany have been transferred to other
organizations after moving from
Mcdl'ord, and unless some cooks can
be secured the company will have lo
live on hard tack, canned beans and
embalmed beef until some member of
the company can learn how to cook.
The burning itucstion, therefore, just
now in Ihe ranks id' the 7llt company
is a supply of nnuy cooks, of which
two or inure are wanted ill once.
