PLAN TO ORGANIZE
MACHINE GUN UNIT
FOR NATIONAL GUARD
Company In Salem To Be
Formed Under Authority
Of Adjutant General

Under instruction and by authority
of Adjutant General Williams ma
chine gun company will be organized
in Salem immediately.
This machine gun company will be
one of the units of the national guard
regiment now being formed in Oregon
and will be the only machine gun unit
in this regiment and to dispel any idea
that the public may have on the sub,
ject, it may be stated positively that
this company is in no wise affiliated
with the local companies of Oregon
guard.
1t is the desire of the military au-
thorities to perfect permanent organ
ization and men who are between the
ages Of Is and 81 or 81 and As will be
preferred, however, men subject to
draft will also be accepted but mem
bership in any unit of the national
guard will in no wise relieve men sub
iect to draft from such military duty
as the U. S. authorities may require of
them.
The federal government will issue
complete equipment for this unit af'
ter being formally mustered in and in
spected aud all applicants will be sub
jected to the rigid physical examina-
tion of the regular army, however, men
with previous military training may
have minor physical defects waived as
well as the age limit.
Owing to the fact that the machine
gun units are equipped with revolvers
and machine guns, rather than rifles
and bayonets they escape the manual
of arms and that Of the bayonet and
great deal of infantry drill making
this branch of the service highly pre-
ferable, in addition, they are supplied
with motor conveyances.
Anyone may join this machine gun
unit and still retain their membership
in any of the companies of Oregon
guard
Approximately only go men will bC
required to form this company and any
one desiring information or to enlist
may call on Geo. Schultz, at his place
of business next to the Masonic TEN
pie, Grove Hemsley, Salem Fruit I'm

Squeezing of the pocket on the right

paths in woods and across fields, rout-

on as resistance was demolished.
One regiment marched and fought
l6A miles in "a hours, in order to keep
up with the faster moving units in other
parts of the line, where the resistance
was lighter.
AT 9 o o'clock this morning, American
machine guns were stationed on Hill l4l

avenue of retreat from the city. Oul
