White Demands
Investigation of
State Stacker List

A searching investigation into
the authenticity of the Oregon
Stacker list as compiled by the fed
eral war department will be de-
manded by Adjutant General Geo.
A. White. This decision was
reached by the adjutant general
after the discovery among the list
of alleged slackers Of the name of
an Oregon hero who lost his life
In the battle of the Argonne. To
date the names of fifteen Oregon
men who did their bit in the recent
war have been found in theyslack-
er list.
This condition is characterized
by the adjutant general as due to
carelessness on the part of the
war department which is little
short Of criminal, and which is
bound to work a great injustice to
many heroes unless the list is cor
rected before given out for publ

! A two-strand wire, II was brought
out, could be easily attached to cleo
trio caps. containing at the closed
end q quantity of illuminate of mer-
curry, tho most sensitive explosive

This would give circulation OF cur
