Armory Can Be
Made Attractive

After the inspection of Company
at the armory last Wednesday eve-
ming Adjutant General May and Mai.
Hall visited informally with num-
Der of the men and gave them much
valuable information in regard to
the formation of the company, which,
according to the adjutant general, is
the largest one he has inspected in
the state.
Major Hall gave out the good news
to the local company that the armory
may be outfitted to make it a COM
Portable and attractive club house.
He said the state will furnish canvas
for the floor of the armory on which
the company can drill. The board
floor may then be planed and pol
ished to afford fine dancing floor.
The large room up stairs may also
be fitted up with easy chairs and
pleasant surroundings for a club
room, with a piano and other ap-
purtenances to make it delightful
recreation spot for the boys to while
away their spare time.
Large unused rooms In the base
ment afford also many opportunities
for further attractions to be added
to the armory. A shooting gallery
already exists there. and there will
be plenty Of rooms to add other at
fractions. When the building is fit.
ted up in this manner the company
can rent 1t for various entertain
ments and in this manner can add
to the exchequer for other improve
ments.

Likins landed in France with a tank
corps unit, left his company without
permission and pushed on into tho
interior by auto truck and train,
begging a lift from lorry here and
there and walking miles of the dis

On the night of November 8, Lik-
ins came upon an American unit In
the Argonne forest, picked out the
tank corps section and attached him

mory at 8 O'Clock for review.
Practically the entire company
was present when Adjutant General
May inspected the men. assisted by
his aide, Major A. A. Hall and Cap
tain Frame Of the local company.
While the men are virtually new to
the service and were mostly attired
in the uniform Of the state militia
with a few in civilian clothes, they
made fine martial appearance,
which promises well for the future
standing of the company.
After the inspection Adjutant Gen.
eral May gave an address to the men
in which he stated that he was much
pleased with the personnel Of Com
peny I, and related the position the
National Guard held during the great
world war. Out of IS divisions of
the National Guard, 16 served on
the fields OF France. and we're among

the request" which he could not ex-
plain at this time" but that he par

The advent of a hugs camouflag-
ed whippet tank travelling the streets
of Ashland and doing extraordinary
stunts awoke the people in this
vicinity to the fact that the Victory
Loan campaign had started in this
'city. The tank is Of American make
and Is virtually the same as those
manufactured by France that did such
great action in the trenches In the
world war. II was exhibited here by
Private C. C. Likins of Portland,
whose wonderful war record granted
him the croiS de gue-re with palm
given by grateful French nation
for hts bravery at the front. He
was assisted by Sergeant Chas. o.
Hendershot from an eastern tank
training school, and Corporal Leo @.
Alden, recently from overseas.
The men who were to exhibit the
tank in Ashland arrived here We'd
nesday, but the tank did not ma
terialize until yesterday. so the ex-
hibit had to be postponed until 4:30
yesterday afternoon. The fire whis-
tie on the city hall announced its ar
rival and by the time the unwieldly
looking machine arrived at the Plaza
a large crowd had congregated to
view this death-dealing implement
of war.
At the gathering on the Plaza
where the tank was inspected the as
semblage listened to enthusiastic Vic
tory Loan addresses given by E. v.
Carter and Supt. G. A. Briscoe, after
which Private Likinc told his expert
ence in the tank service in France.
A demonstration was then given of
hill-climbing by the tank, which was
taken to the rear of the Hargrove
lot on East Main street where it |
and descended the 25-foot,
embankment. In making the de-
scent Sergeant Hendershot struck his
head against the turret of the tank
and was painfully injured. He was
taken to Poley's drug store where
first aid was given to him. and was
afterward admitted to local hos
pital for few days" treatment.

United States Troops Oppose
Making War on Bolsheviki

ARCHANGEL, April "a COM
pany of American troops recently
showed some hesitation in returning
to the fighting front south of Arch
angel, declaring that the war with
Germany was over and that the
United States was not at war with
the Bolsheviki. The reglmental COM
mander, in a speech, said that they
were fighting a desperate defensive
battle, and appealed to them to stick
1t out, The company then left for
the front.
The situation arose when the COM
pany named was ordered back to the
front after rest period at Archan-
gel. The officers were informed that
the men did not want to go to the
front again. They asked to have
their arguments answered.
The men contended that they were
draft men selected for the war with
Germany, which was finished now,
that America was not at war with the
that the entire Bolsheviki
situation was the subject of much
political debate and indecision in the
United States and that so far as
they were concerned, they were un-
able to see why they should be fight
Ing II there was no war.
The reglmental commander said
that, perhaps, their own lives de-
pended on the fighting on this front
and then made his successful appeal,
reciting to the men traditions of the
army.
