With the booming of a 76 MM
German mlnenwerfer cannon and tlio
' shrill sounds of the city siren whistle
tho gully boflugged train of war tro
phles and rollca arrived In Moilford
at 9 o'clock Monday mornlnn, switch
ed to a side (rack and quickly was be
sieged by a crowd ot sightseers, and
from then on until the train pulled
out for the next stop, a short one at
Gold Hill. 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.

This is probably a better showing
than anv other section in the coun
try can produce, said Dr. Wasser.
Methodism is askinsr its Sunday
schools to raise one-eichth of the

tenary leaders say. The total north

or $533,089 per year for five vears.
Of the $63,000 a year which the
northwest Sunday schools are ex
pected to pledse before the close of
the centenary financial drive, more
than $20,000 is' already plcdced.
"It is interesting to note." said Dr.

"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

ground. . ;
"Already we know that the Jap

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

the policy of the government Is to
prevent such a settlement near our
