OLD FIRST OKLAHOMA
TO Be REORGANIzED
WHEN BOYS GET HOME

Oklahoma City. May 3l,-Reorgani'
zation of the famous old First Okla
homa Infantry. the Sooner states con
tribution To the national guard divis'
ion of the American eXpodiuonary
forces, is to be undertaken soon after
the veterans return to the state. Adj.
Gen. Charles +. Barrett, who is en-
route TO Now Nprk wAh Gbvornpr
Robertson's official party that Will
welcome the oklahoma units, is enthu'
slastically advocating the revival of the
First.
The history of the First dates be
yond statehood and Its achievements
occupy an enviable position in the his
tory OF territory and state. Cnul
1898 the guardsmen were sole protec.
ton of the state and had accomplished
many notable campaigns in correcting
lawlessness in various portions of the
territory In the Spauish.Amcrlcan
War the First WIS early IN service ana
in the border campaign attracted wide
comment from tho regular army Off.
GERS.
When the United States severed ren-
tons with Germany in April 1917. the
Firsts officers We're ready for service
and had under their charge a most
capable body of men. Brig. Cen. Roy
Hoffman, then colonel of the First,
was superseded when the regiment
went into training at Camp Bowie, by
n Texas colonel senior in service. Gen
cral Hoffman Immediately offered his
services to the war department and
WAS soon commissioned Il brisadier gen
eral. General Hoffman is also in the
official welcoming party and looks
forward with great interest and pride
TO greeting his old command. *
When the National Guard Of Okla
homa was rcorganized in 1915 to re
place the regiment that had gone into
overseas service the first new regiment
was designated the Second in order to
reserve the title of the First to the for
mer guardsmen. The Third has also
been organized and a separate batta-
lion of the Fourth has been completed.
1t is the plan of Adjutant General Bar
rett TO take this separate battalion OF
the Fourth and use It 10 fill out the
First when it comes back into state
service.
General Barretts intention is to Off
Ger the regiment with men who have
seen overseas service. While the ranks
of the First have been filled from time
to time by replacement troops the gen
eral makeup of the regiment is much
the same as it went into service. Many
of the officers and men have signified
their desire to return to the ranks of
the National Guard of Oklahoma and
the revival of the First in the makeup
of the new militia organization Of the
state is confidently expected.

Jim" McGraw, national committee.

panied Mr. Hays TO Oklahoma City,
and to him was delegated the duty Of
Introducing the national chairman, Mr..

and that it was difficult to interest the
people in politics last year. had planned
so well and met with such success that
a republican congress is now conduct

his visit to Oklahoma City.
Whenever the republican national

SUICIDE CLUB
SOLDIER LETS
OLD CAT OUT
Joe Rooney, Machine Gunner,
Tells What Was Behind
Doughboys' Punch

Private. first class, Joseph E. Rooney
Of San Francisco was at Camp Lewis
last summer He wanted to get to
France. He had almost given up hope
when at Retreat one day Captain X,
his company commander, said:
Does any man here want to volun-
teer for the machine guns? It's a
chance to get to France.
Rooney stepped out with about six
other strapping fellows of the West.
Captain X looked them over.
You understand. men, that you are
joining a suicide club?'
He got no answer and his eyes
twinkled because he knew that they
knew.
Those fellows got to France in a
hurry. Rooney IS one of the survivors
Of that half dozen but even he was
shot up in the ATgonne and is over
there yet, He is with the 347th
Machine Gun Battalion Of the Ninety
first Division and has been cited for
bravery in action.
His sister wrote q cheering letter
which he received in hospital and here
is what Joe wrote back to her:
1T is surely fine to hear how the
folks at home appreciate my efforts.
It was the thought and love for his
