C (AP)-If they never get any closer lo the battle from, army trainees here at least will have a vivid idea of what actual bat lie sounds like. The trainees arp required to cover a course, a simulated bat tle front, with live bullets from .30 caliber machine guns whining over their heads. The bullets are from guns fir ing at a fixed level, which how ever, is low enough so that train ees are happy to hug the ground with their stomachs. The men crawl toward the guns, to a trench from which, theoretically, they will throw grenades enab ling them to wipe out the ma chine gun nest. 'This is battle with safely pre caution," MaJ. K. A. Pollack told a battalion before it began its tortuous crawl. "Think of it as battle. Act as if you were in bat tleyour life depends on keep ing flat, exposing as little as pos sible to gun fire." At a signal the guns burst Into action, setting up a ceiling of fire across the course. As the men crawled forward, working their elbows and knees, digging in with their toes and even their chins, blasts from prepared pits raised cloudjj of dust. A number of small crater explosions, simulating ar tillery fire, were directly on the course, forcing the men to crawl around and between them. From either side larger craters pour ed forlh earth-shaking detona tions. From a truck parked near by came a concert of catastrophe, every sound known to battle. "I could go through thai again," grinned a dusty private of 20. "You'll have plenty of chance to," cracked a 39-year-old corpor al. Word Received of the Death of S. R. Elmore Word has been received here telling of the death Sunday of Seymore Renick Elmore of Ore gon City, resident of Roseburg from 1900 lo 1911, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Edith Parks, 1382 Orchard, Eugene.

Snell Joins Appeal for Northwest Alumina Plant SALEM, Aug. 5 (API-Governor Earl Snell sent an appeal las! night lo War Manpower Di rector Paul V. McNutt, Washing Ion, D. C, asking him to change his decision against locating an alumina plant in the northwest. Snell denied McNutt's state ment that there Is a labor short age In the northwest.

CHARLES A. EDWARDS St. Paul in fiis; epistle to the Corinthians declares he deter mined not to know anything save Chrisl and Him crucified. This gives to us a clear under standing of his Christian char acter. He had a wonderful way of giving emphasis to his thought by saying It In Ihe most striking words. To be sure, he did not meun literally that he would not know any thing else than the crucified, risen Christ. But he meant to say that he would place a val ue upon all that he knew only in its relation to the crucified Christ. That is why the cross plays so large a part in all his writings Paul may be said to have been a man with one mes sage. Though he was a phil osopher his message was not primarily about philosophy. Though he was a Theologian, his theology was Christ-centered. Though he was an orator, he would not permit his ability to speak "wllh the tongues of men and of angels," to cause him to lose his great theme which was Ihe cross. Paul was a man of high acquaintance, with Him was Paul's eternal quest, and in his seeking he found Him whom to know Is Life Eternal. It is more im portant to know Him, than to be Informed about Him.

Stockman Assails Handling Milk Problem PRINEVILLE, Aug. 7. (Ay?) Office of Price Administration (OPA) handling of the central Oregon milk problem, believes Rep. Lowell Stockman (R., Ore.) is the "worst mismanaged" on the home front. The congressman told the cham ber of commerce that OPA ac countants went to The Dalles, "contacted a few dairymen, ex amined their books and proudly announced that dairymen in that district have been making money and are still making money un der ceiling prices. In the mean time, If) of them went broke and out of business and the other two are in operation only because the city is subsidizing them in the hope OPA will wake up to the facts before it is too late." Stockman said prices should be controlled by local boards which have authority to make adjust ments required by local conditions.
