j catitnunieRts uf iJraftt.es, his cmitriiju- I
i tioii would form a very humorous chap-1
j tt-r on Sidtht'.hts of the tfreat war. Mr.
j I'attcrson is an optimist, and though!
j the war was spoiled for him because
; he didn't lehdi the trenches, in his j
I reminiscences he recalls oi;ly th se in-1
cidents that leave liis heaters laugh
I inir.
j tilen I'htterson entered the tirst otlic-
es' training tfchtxl at the t'residin in
1 1;17 and received a second lieutenant's j
; commission in mtaiurv. However, ne
! was placed on the restrve l.st, and this
was nut at all to his liking. The army
had a need for artillery officers, and
the jountf man sacrificed his infantry
j commission to enter an artillery ollic
, era' school, lie says, however, tnat
; the Lord never intended fellows as
dense as himself in mathematics to he
come artillery directors. Mr. I'atler
son was next tried out in a training
'school for aviation otlicers.
; "1 do not blame anybody hut my.-elf
for failure in aviation," said Mr. I 'at -'teisori.
"1 thought 1 knew everything 1
I about wireless, but I fell down. 1
i couldn't receive fast enough. 1 lost
out.
t "And let me tell you 1 was in a put
ty pickle. Nothing was left for rue
' but the draft, and it appeared that, ev
erybody else was ahead of me in the
' tiri't class of the draft."
But Mr. I'attcrson wired to his local
hoard in Wasco county and was suc
cessful in being advanced to. the head
; f the list. Within a few Weeks he :
left The Dalles with a quota of draft
ees. While i n route east with a t r m i i; -load
if rookies Mr. I'attcrson found
; himself in l.os Angeles. It was early
morning.
! "1 asked the conductor how long his
train was going to remain at the sta
tioM," Says the returned si Idirr. ' He
told me an hour. So my hankie and J
! decided to slip out anil got some bleak
fast. We were just 11! minutes at a
lunch counter, but when we started
! hack down the tracks we saw the tail
' end of our special disappearing. On
uipiiiy we ieanied that the trnin would
; -, t j lor a time m a suburb to the east,
so ve caught an electric car and board
ed her there. "
Mr. I'atterson says that his car was
I in charge of one ot those serious miiid
i td but well-meaning young second lieu
, tenant: whose rt'iiiti!'.tte rest
heavily. The young ollicor had counted
! his men at least a dozen times between
i l.os Angeles arid (.VI ton and the count
I always showed two men niirsmg. lie
I wh.i about rtadv t resign w hen the
aii sing men at rived.
"lie began to give us the regulation
icail ng down," says Mr. 1'utterson,
"when I explained th;U the conductor
had told us the train would step for an
i hour. 'The conductor didn't tell you
Winy such thing,' he vehemently denied.
'No, sir, the conductor didn't tell me
the t'ain was going to step an heiir,' 1
iti.-Ln tly agreed, and fur the next 111'
minutes 1 never spent a more strenuous
sersion in my life, trying buigree with
all mv olln-er said.
At. a Virginia cantonment Mr. Tat-ter-on
was made a ill ill sergeant, and
Ins hem t whs broken, inali.y, how
ever, by players and threats he was
transferred Iron) his sergeantcy to a
high private in an ammunition trnm.
II huat was ready and the men were
hencr inH't'cted when the officer asked
Mr. I'atterson if he h;ol ever taken g:n
driil. It appears that no man was
ei-L'ible to overseas duty without try
n g a dose of gas.
"When 1 told the officer that 1 had
not had any such drill, it stumped
hint," says Mr. I'atterson. " 'Veil
ant' go,' he told me, but 1 replied that
I had to go. lie telephoned to the hos
pital division there and asked if a nrin
could be given the gas drill in the nt.vt
hour. It happened that a class was
'.Hist going: in. 1 never waited to be
ordered to the gas drill qu. liters 1
ran all the way. 1 was the last man
to be handed a nia'-k, and f.irtuiutteiy
I gut it on in the six seconds regula
tiou time. 1 went through the test ab
right, hut 1 did not notice that the
lenses were covered with tome kind of
preparation to prevent corrosion, and
by the time 1 was ready to return to
the outer world 1 had forgotten four
steps leading from the ground level
down into the gas-lilbd pit. 1 stumble
at the stairs and pitched my head into
one of those steps."
Mr. I'atterson and his ammunition
train went across with 2, 0(H) negro
stevedores. A b-boat attacked their
boat, and the panic of the negroes, he
says, was a spectacle not to be forgot
ten. That sub, coming up out of the
deep and firing a torpedo at their ship
j was more than unstrung nerves could
stand. Pestroyers drove the sub away,
after her shot had missed.
"We arrived at Hrest, and on distin
barking were ordered to take the dar
kies and unload the transport," says
Mr. 1'atterpon, "and let me tell you we
certainly grumbled. We thuight we
i had been badly treated, but when our
' work was finished we discovered that
; our companion companies a boar.! the
transport hail been -taken direct from
the noat to he sent on a 1 1 mile hike
wmie moving pictures representing
them to be marines returning from
the f : out. w ere taken. "
"liionhing conies natural to the
dncghboy," fays Mr. 1'attersoi), who
returned home with the twn stripes of
a ctrporal, "but if he will just look
a.'ound he will always find some fellow
win' IihiI a little bit worse iiiiie than
himself."
