It is estimated that not loss than 5000 persons, including the pupils of . the schools, viewed with much interest the collection of tro phies captured from the Germans and the assemblage of war Imple ments used by the allies. The high school hand discoursed music for the occasion and the local national guard company kept the throngs in order, doing splendid and much needed work, especially when hundreds of. eager people all tried to crowd into one place at a time. French Tank Attracts . Altho the German field . pieces, heavy guns and rifles of the German, French and American armies, sabres. gas masks and all sorts of war equip ment aroused much interest, the piece de resistance of the whole out fit in the minds ot tho majority of the people was the small French tank, known as the mosquito tank. It was the first war tank ever seen in iMedford. The heavy metal llsenlng post also attracted much attention. The lectures explaining the war implements,- given by soldiers who had served with similar equipment in Frahce were a much appreciated fea ture. And during the train's stay here, Robert E. Smith, state chair mas of the Victory- loan campaign, and other orators accompanying the train, made telling speeches, ot ap peal for the people to subscribe liber ally in this forthcoming loan. As the French mosquito tank was the most interesting of the war ex hibits, also C. Clarence Likens, of Portland, wearing a Croix de Guerre with a palm tor distinguished gallan try won while Berving with a similar tank at the Argonne woods battle, who lectured on the tank, was the big attraction among the orators. Von Fame on Tank : ; Likens won his fame . when the tank of which he was gunner became mired in a shell hole, and he and his driver dismounted, the machine gun from it and took the gun across No Man's Land, thru a hail of shells and bullets, and delivered it to the attacking infantry. The driver was killed while en route., Hot only that but in the same battle Likens carried a wounded lieutenant off the battle front to safety. For his conduct in this battle he was given the Croix de Guerre, a palm, a citation and a spec ial citation. ... Another one of the soldier lectur ers, with the train, who explained the heavy artillery, was Floyd A. Ross of the 65tlu artillery who went Into the war with Company 7 ot Medford. His brother, Frank B. Ross of Seattle, of the navy, represented that branch of the service on the train. Robert E. Smith and the others accompanying the train were greatly pleased at the way 'Medford people turned out to view the Victory loan special. - At Klamath Falls yesterday about 2000 people visited the train, and at Ashland this morning a crowd in keeping with the early hour of the day, viewed the relics. - ' Personnel of Party The followingwas part of the per sonnel of the party on the train: Root.

'- "While Mexico is well within her constitutional rights in granting this land it will form a 'little Japan' right on our borders," Senator Phelan said. "This will increase the danger of a Japanese invasion of California, which is a very attractive country for them. It would create a base ot sup plies and would be a propagating ground. . ; "Already we know that the Jap anese are coming over the border from Mexico. The Japanese fisher men at San Pedro and San Diego maintain a large fleet of high-powered motor boats and it is suspected that the Japanese are coming In also by that means. - ; - : "So large a Japanese colony in Mexico would be a military and In dustrial menace and I believe that the policy of the government Is to prevent such a settlement near our doors." .
