Ho leaves to- night for Montana points on business mattors.and will be gone ten days before returning. Captain Vance had a thrilling and . varied war experience and participat ed In much ot the heavy fighting. Ab is well known he left hero with the Seventh company and served as Its commander at the Columbia river forts until a large section of the com- pany together with section ot eight other Oregon coast artillery compan ies, including the Ashland, Marsh field and Astoria companies, were formed Into Battery E of the 6oth artillery and sent to France. After the 65th had been in France a short ' time he was detached from battery service and detailed as instructor in telephone school at the 'big A. E. F. training center at Limoges. ' He served in that capacity two months and had just received notice of promotion to chief signal officer of the 32nd artillery brigade when an order arrived at the training center for every officer there in all branches ,to 'be rushed to the front to help re place the many officers killed and wounded in the Chateau - Thierry fight, which had just ended. Forty officers detached from the 32nd ar tillery, brigade including- Captain Vance got to the front just in time to get in the thick of the Solssons of fensive in the middle of July. These officers were distributed among the dlvisions.ot the First army corps and Captain Vance was assigned to the Second army division as adjutant of the Second ammunition train. . . At the conclusion of the Soissons offensive, in which the captain's di vision suffered heavy losses the di- ' vision, along with the other American troops,' was moved over to the St. ilihiel sector, for the drive there and Captain A'ance . was placed in com mand of d company. Second ammuni tion; train, which lost many men and motor trucks in the drive. Most ot the ammunition hauling had to be done at night because of the danger pf air raids. . Captain Vance's first lieutenant was killed a few feet from him by a "bursting shell. The heavy ammunition for the artillery had to be hauled, frequently In front of .the advanced heavy guns, and the small ammunition .often to the front line trenches when' the horse drawn veh icle ammunition service broke down because of Bheer exhaustion of the animals. . ' Following ' the 6t. -Mihlel drive Captain; Vance was transferred to the ; A. B. F. supply purchasing . head quarters at Rome, Italy, from which country huge quantities of supplies were shipped to France by trainloads. He remained on duty there nntll the armistice was signed, and the course of duty took him practically in all parts of Italy. After the armistice ' was signed he obtained a month's leave of absence and traveled all over Belgium and a large part of France. Then he was ordered to headquar ters in Paris on Dec. 20th, where he ' applied for his discharge, but was not relieved from service until April 1st. Tie arrived in Boston April 8 and was discharged from service April 22nd. FLOUNCE ROCK FRILLS 'The Brand" Last Times Tonight, Riaito BEACH'S "Oram I)..
