DEFEN No Disappointments Turn Up In Univer- sal Response to Appeal; Millions Join In Day’s Observance WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—The response Of the nation’s civilian population to the Defense Day appeal to the individual’s obligation and responsibility under-the new national defense program and for the mobilization in the first limited test of the program itself, met the highest expectations of the war department and govern- ment officials generally. Reports, somewhat prelimingry in character from the nine corps area headquarters, showing that . more than 16,000,600 civilians participated in the exercises caused the depart- ment to pronounce it as “highly sat- isfactory.”” Although the reports did not -permit an accurate esti- mate of' the total of one day volun- eers who turned out to fill up the ranks of regular army, | national guard and organized’ reserves, the fact that almost all of the military forces in the United States were used in approximate war strength indicated that probably two million men enrolled. The other civilian participants giving s “reported total of 16.002.781 took part in the: 6,535 local demon- strations in the form of, parades’ and The corps area cormmian- , each stibmjtting at the close of the day a détatled report of the. re- sult of the test in this ory, em- phasized its success’ and the enthusi- astic endorsement ofthe national defense program by civillans gener- ally.

The attendance yesterday was light but the advance sale of tickets was good and the Lions realized a neat sum for'the camp. Victory went to the Kiwanians because they scored first in many of the events and had enough sec- onds and» thirds to pile up a top heavy score.

The forger had evidently gone to the trouble before- ks the two men whose names he forged had accounts in and how large their accounts In the first instance he walked into a women’s ready-to-wear store and told the. proprietor he, wanted to purehase a coat for his wife's birthday. He selected the coat, wrote out a check for $150 and sign- ed the name of Charles Miller. The real Charles Miller is an employe of the New York Oil company and is working on a well near Powder Riv- er.. The check was made out on the bank in which Miller does his bank- ing, but the teller at the bank easi- ly detected the eignature as being forged. The next stop the man made was at a men’s clothing store on Center street where he signed a check for $32 with the name of W. M. MeMil- lan, M.

Se — HIGH TRIBUTE LONG SERVICE Io REVIEWED BY PRES. CODLIDGE IN ARMY ORDER World War Commander Retums Today to Civilian Life With The Highest Honors. WASHINGTON, Sept. 18. —John Pershing ends his forty-two years of actite service in the army at noon today with a last. signal honor paid him in the issuance of an executive announce- ment by President Coolidge express ing the nation’® indebtedness for the service which won him leader- ship of the American fo: in: the World War. Only in the rare instances of ‘hi». tory in which a rétiring officer hax reached the highest rank has there been precedent for the honor con- ferred pon General Pershing in the executive order in which the president today extended to Him “anew the thanks of the nation for his eminent services,” The president added he felt. “‘cer- tain that I voice the sentiment of the entire citizenry? of the republic in-wishing, him’ long life, happiness and prosperity jn the retirement. he has’ 86 richly earhed.” Citing General Pershins’s arrival today at the automatic retirement age of sixty four years, the éxecu- tive\order, after reminding the coun- try of its “obligation to one whose accomplishments contributed so largely to the defense of the world's Uberties,”’ reviewed his military ser- vice. The text of the order, which will be read to the army today as a general order, follows: “General John J. Pershing, gen eral of the armies, having this day reached the age of sixty four year is retired from active service in con- formity with a requirment of an act of congress approved June 30, 1882. “In announcing the termination of this distinguished soldier's actite military career, it is deemed appro- priate to remind the country of his eminent services and of the nation's obligation to one whose accomplish- ments contributed so largely to the defense of the world’s liberties. “Entering the army as a commis- sioned officer, after graduation at the United States military academy in 1886, he endured the hardships of the Indian campaigns, then neces- sary for the pacification of the wes- tern frontier. In the war with Spain he participated in the Santiago con- paign in Cuba.
