building, I am sure there will be no \
difficulty iu getting the funds.”
Advertisement for the University is i
another advantage of the campaign given j
by Mrs. Bishop. “Everyone in the
state.” she said, “will hear about the
University. We want to reach the in
dividual. For this reason 1 would rather
collect 25 cents from four people than
$10 from one person.
“We expect the aid of every Univer
sity woman, and intend having the drive
before college opens next fall, so that
each student can carry on a campaign
in her locality.”
Mrs. Gerlinger Well Pleased.
Mrs. Gerlinger says she is greatly
pleased with the plans of the federa
tion. “When the federation takes up
our enus^” said Mrs. Gerlinger, “it
means thar every club woman in the j
state will be working for the woman’s I
building. It means that we will have !
funds in one year instead of waiting for !
three years. Xevejr has the goal seemed
so close as now.”
FACULTY WILL LECTURE
FOR WOMEN’S BUILDING
Under the sponsorship of Mrs. Walter
Burnell and Mrs. W. D. Wheelwright,
of Portland, a series of seven lectures
by I^lutenant Colonel John Leader, Dr.
George Rebec, and Dr. B. W. De Busk,
will be given in Portland for the pur
pose of raising money for the women's
building.
The lectures will be given in the ball
room of the Multnomah hotel, and ad
mission will be on the season ticket
plan, the season ticket for the series
of lectures being $5. The funds for
the traveling expenses of the lecturers
and the costs for printing programs will
come from the extension account, as
the lectures are considered extension
work.
The program is as follows:
February 18—Lieutenant Colonel John
Leader, “The European War.”
The next three lectures will be given
by Dr. George Rebec, as follows:
February 20—“The Real Nietsche.”
February 25—-“The Ancestry of the
Present Day German Mind.”
February 27—“The Meaning of the
Russian Revolution.”
The last ithree of the series will be
given by Dr. D. W. De Busk:
March 4—“Measuring the Mental
Growth of Our Children.”
March 6—“Our Physical Unprepared
ness.”
March 11—“Our Psychic Defenses.”
Howard McCulloek, ex '17, is spend
ing the week at the Bet' Theta Pi house.
Get Nearer First Line; It’s
Safer, Says Colonel Leader
“One consolation is, the nearer you
move to the first line trenches, on the
actual firing line, the safer you are,”
said Colonel Leader, in a lecture t<> the
military science second class this after
noon. “In the third line trenches occur
the most casualties, but it is a very im
portant position to occupy, for the men
fighting in the first line trenches are
entirely dependent upon those in the
third line, not only to furnish them with
supplies, but to relieve them.”
Colonel Leader said men should never
be allowed to lie down to rest, as they
trudee their way along knee deep in
mud to the firing line. They all carry
several pounds of luggage, and it takes
too long to arrive at their destination
if they are allowed long rests, he de
elared. Movements are made at night
and must be completed before dawn.
“Leave your wounded,” said the col
onel. “for the sli etcher hearers to take
cire of. If the fighting is not heavy you
might help him to a first-aid station.
In past ware soldiers were often decorat
ed for carrying a wounded companion
hack to safety during the thickest fight;
nowadays yum f*«ibably would re eive a
court-martial instead.
“March up to the first line trenches
by platoons and in single file. The ma
jority of the battalion moves in by
night. The platoons move up at from
5 to 30 minute intervals. Ys* must
report to headquarters when relieving
another company. As each company is
relieved it moves out. The platoon com
manders are the most important men in
the whole army. It would be possible
to do away with captains, majors and
colonels, and still have the fighting con
tinue successfully, bnt to do away with
the platoon commanders would be out
of the question. This war will be
shortened, due to the fact that America
can furnish thousands of platoon com
manders, for so many of the fellows
have been taught to think for them
selves.
“The unit must always be the squad.
Have permanent squads with men in each
one who are close friends. The squad
leaders mus# know two things: first,
where every man is, and secoml, the
deficiencies in the squad; that is, he
should see the condition of their gas
m-risks, ammunition, water bottles, etc.
The squad leader must be a handy man,
who can use his brains and think things
out carefully.”
Colonel Leader explained how effi
cient the German intelligence system is
in its spying. The minute a new regi
ment comes into position along the fir
ing front, he said. Fritz will call out,
“Hello, Americans of regiment so and
so. We beard you had a hard time
dealing with the mayor of (naming a
certain French village).” The colonel
advised that a regiment get a bad name
with the Germans.
“Be careful at all times,” said the
colonel, “of German spies working with
in your lines. They used to work a great
deal among the English royal engineers.
When the engineers came in to occupy
a new posrtidn, German spies, dressed
in officers’ uniforms, were found among
them. It takes a close observer to de
tect one of these skilled spies, and it is
your duty to stop and question every
stranger. I know of a spy who came
with the engineers and worked with
them for several days. He was wear
ing the uniform of a dead English of
ficer. One of our intelligence officers
who had been watching this German for
several days, drew his pistol and aimed
ft at the German, saying, “Put up yonr
hands; you are wearing Scott’s uniform.”
The spy obeyed.-only saying, 'When will
the firing squad be read., ” ”
Corsets
FOR THE WOMA N OF FA SHION. ~ - ’
Intimates the good corsets—she seems to have given her cor
set the attention that results in assisting the dressmaker to make
all posssible out of her form, and the outlines suggest corset per
fection for her figure. There are La Camille, Royal Worcester
and Bon Ton, to suit all kinds of forms and they will all give
the stylish contour if the proper corset is Selected.

The freshman contest was an entire- i
ly different story. This contest was an
up-and-down affair from start to fin- \
is|. Fulfil the last few moments of
I'lay, it was impossible to tell which ;
quintet would be victorious. With, the ;
count even, one of the rooks dropped
the sphere in the ring from a very dif- ,
fieult angle, and the final whistle blew '
before the frosh were able to tie the '
count. Durno, at forward, was the star
for the freshman, making 1- points.
Williams made a similar number for the
Aggie first-year five. Chapman, at
guard for the freshmen, held his man
scoreless, and at the same time scored
one basket.
Teams Play Again Tonight.
The two teams will endeavor to
avenge the double defeat this evening,
when two more contests will be staged.
The freshman aggregation was very dis
appointed in not winning after such a
close fight, and is out 'to win tonight.
The Varsity will also try to wipe out
last night's defeat.
The lineups of the teams were as
follows:
Oregon. O. A. C.
Fowler (2), Grebe..F_Capt. Ray (10)
Morrison (2) .F. Kruger
Comfort (4).C.Gurley (12)

WOMEN AT BUNGALOW
MAKE 2856 DRESSINGS
Thursday’s Output of 657 Compresses
Holds Record of Last Week;
Wednesday Lowest.
Surgical dressings made by the Uni
versity women this week totaled 2860
Last week the total was 1840, but a
fair comparison between th two weeks’
output cannot be made, since the size
of the dressings was different.
The record by days follows: Monday,
625; Tnesday, 45)4; Wednesday, .‘100;
Thursday, 657, and Friday, 004. Wednes
day the girls work only until 3 o’clock,
so that the number of dressings made
on that day always shows a decrease
from that of other days’ work.
