quired for the application for a char
'er. mere were several others present
|at the meeting, and as there are many
otner eX-service men in town and tho
Vlcihlty who will undoubtedly ioin th,,
organization the prospects are favor
apie Tor the new Legion starting ont
with very healthy membership II is
requested and desired that every ey-
service man, whether of the army or
the navy. become a member of the
fost. The organization is for the mr.
pose OF mutual benefit and to perpetu-
ATE the liberal and beneficent Ameri-
can government.
Ihe name selected was Hodges Post
of Oroville, state of Washington. The
Post was named in honor of Major
William Hodges, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Hodges, of Ellemeham mountain.
Young Hodges was an enlisted man
stationed at Camp Doniphan, Fort
Still, Oklahoma, at the time of his
death in February, 1918. He was the
only soldier from this immediate vi
cinity who died in the service. his
death coming just at a time when his
regiment was about to sail for France.
The remains were sent home, and one
or the largest funerals ever held in
Oroville marked the services over the
young soldiers remains. 1t was a
proper tribute to the memory of a
young American who as surely died
for his country as though he had lost
his life in battle.
We expect to see Hodges Post, of
Oroville, one of the largest and most
active in the county. and the boys can
rest assured that the people here will
extend every encouragement in their
power to the new organization.

not extended to the Stage the rccogni-

not be forgotten that the stage is one
OF the greatest formative forces in
human life"
Mr.. Hedges said that one who "trics

We took off nt o'clock under per-
feet flying conditions. Maynard set
course over Jamica and East New
York to Brooklyn.
While over Brooklyn the air became
very bumpy. Then for the first time
experienced how difficult it was to
throw papers over the side of an air
plane speeding along at 1870 miles an

that would be enough for our safe y,

We passed over Brooklyn at about
1000 feet altitude. Coming over Gov

into the Hudson. He cleverly took
advantage of the westerly wind to
blow tNe pamphlets ! dropped so they
would land on the city. distinctly

Battery, where a large crowd was
watching our progress.
We turned into the city at Fifty
ninth Street and flew downtown. At
Forty second Street and Fifth Avenue

to be spiralling straight toward tho
Pubic Library. Then ! released the
other tickets in bunchcs of five.
Maynard left the city over the Man

cola at an altitude of $500 feet I
had seen him sdeslip into Roosevelt

afternoon I experienced that famous

In Craft Court Martial
Commander Marsden Was
Charged With Making Pro-

A semi official announcement was made
yesterday that Lieutenant Commander
Christopher C. Marsden, former en-
rolling officer for the naval reserve in
this district, had been acquitted by the
court martial before which he was
tried on charges of making illegal
transfers, promotions and enroliments
IN return for presents.
Charges connected wit hthe alleged
graft in his office have resulted in the
conviction of Lieutenant Bcnoit J. Ell

Lieutenant Ellert's duties brought him
into frequent contact with the enroll

medical officer at the enrolling office.
The government attempted to prove
Mardsen was party to the graft con-
