Where Is Miss Emma
Wooton?
Dean Allen Gets Shock When He
Finds Reeason for Absence
From Class
‘‘Where's Miss Wootton?” asked Dean
Eric Allen this morning, as he sur
veyed the depleted ranks of his class
of embryo editors.
"In Astoria,” said somebody, and
stony, envious silence reigned, while
everybody reflected on how much jaunt
ing about Emma Wootton has been do
ing lately.
A grin spread over Bob McNary’s
face. “You know what she went for,
don't you?” he asked, unfairly erapioy
, ing his knowledge of what’s going on
at 772.
“tthe went to get married,” he an
| uounced, and enjoyed the beautific smile
| that shone on Dean Allen’s face—fot
| know ye that Mr. Allen, adjutnnt oi
S the University battalion, and a soldiei
[ himself, has been with her and for het
1 since the first intimation that she mighl
1 do the deed.
I And then a bright idea hit him.
“Let’s send her a telegram,” he sug
gested, and forthwith set himself tc
compose it.
"Western Union?” he asked in a jiffy
“Take a message, please.
"To Mrs. Elmer Hall, care of Captair
Tom Wootton. Astoria, Ore. Good luck
Our wishes are with you for lifelong
happiness. Editorial Class.
“Get that M-r-s, misses? That’s the
important part.
“And say,” concluded Mr. Allen,
“charge to journalism!”
Somebody suggested that the message
he held, and Bob McXary was cross
examined as to his authority.
“All I know is that sister got a
wire yesterday saying to come home,
j that Emma was going to be married this
noon,” he maintained. So the wire went
through.
And whether it will go to Mrs. Elmer
Hall or to just plain Emma Wootton
is a gamble.
The story goes that Elmer Hall, of
the marine corps, stationed now at Mare
Island, got a furlough, and wired to his
fiancee his desire to be married at once.
She asked for time to consult the fam
ily up in Astoria, but Hall was adamant
and he wired back right off the reel,
“Can’t wait. Am leaving at midnight
tonight.”
Thus is the lil’ god Cupid when Mars
gets him going!

DEDICATED TO COL LEADER
March Composed by Albert Perfect Well
Received at Armory.
“The Colonel Leader March,” is the
first piece of music to be dedicated to
Oregon's instructor of military science.
It was composed by Mr. Albert Perfect,
instructor in the school of music and
director of the military band. He has
spent much time in composing the piece
and on its completion, thought it ap
propriate to name the production after j
the military instructor.
This march, which was written prin
cipally for the band, met with imme
diate success when it was played in the
armory last night by the Eugene mu
nicipal band. The large audience pres
ent at the Red Cross program demon
strated its appreciation of Mr. Per
fect’s work by encoring the march twice.

Reconstruction of China
Avowed Life Work of Sun
Tao Sun. who for 16 years has been
studying in Japan and America, his ex
penses paid by Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen, former
president of the Chinese republic, ex
pects to be granted his degree of A. B.
from the T'niversity of Oregon this
month. He will leave immediately after
for China to help in China's fight for
democracy.
Sun came to the University from the
University of California last fall, where
he had been studying since coming to
America to complete his education, and
planned to study at Oregon until he
would receive his masters’ degree next
fall.
Wong Tu Seng, an old friend of
■Sun's, and one of Dr. Sun-Yat-Sen's
lieutenants in southern China, where he
is in control of several states, is now
governor of the Long-Chang province.
Sun believes that he can do more good
in aiding China toward a democratic
form of government by going to China
now than by waiting, until perhaps, his
opportunity would be gone.
Sun explains that the army of China
is composed of the worst and lowest
classes of men. This, he says, is be
cause of a tradition of the Chinese that
teaches children of good families not to
fight when they are small, and teaches
that fighting of all kinds is irreligious
and that the army is an unhonorable
occupation.
Because of this fact, the armies of
China now, even those fighting for a
republican form of government, fight
only for the money they can get. If one
leader offers more ioot than the other,
the soldiers flock to him from his op
ponents.
“This condition,” says Sun, “has led
to thp present, where there are as many
rebel leaders who are misleading the
ignorant people in their armies as there
are leaders who are working earnestly
for a better and more enlightened
China.”
With China in its present state, Sun
believes that a democratic form of gov
ernment can be best brought about by
force; they cannot hare a good govern
ment until they are forced to establish
an give it a fair trial.
As soon ns Sun arrives at his former
home, he will lay the following plan
before Governor Wong Tu Seng for his
aoption, to bring about a democratic
state and a basis for a democratic
China:
Maintain the present army to enforce
for the present the edicts of the gov
ernor.
Call for the election of representa
tives from each province of the stare
to form into a body similar to the Amer
ican congress.
i Force men known to be unfriendly to
| the cause of democracy, or mercenary,
to resign from the representative bodv
as soon ns it confenes. and allow the
election of a more fair and honorable
successor.
Make military training compulsory,
as in this way an army composed of the
best classes, instead of the worst, as at
present, could be organized and trained
in the course of three years to equal
the present mercenary troops.
Force the old army to go to work
under government pay, building rail
roads, highways, and other means of
communication needed before Chinn can
make the best progress toward the high
est type of civilization.
After the state hn4 been sufficiently
organized and developed to stand with
out the aid of military forces to back
up its law, disband the army and do
away with compulsory military training
or use the army to aid other Chinese
states in obtaining a similar form of
democratic government, with the end
that, with the state as a basis, China
would be established as a democracy.
Sun seeks no place of prominence in
politics himself, unless, after the people,
through their representative body, have
assumed full control of th government,
they see fit to elect him to some gov
ernment position. For the present he
plijns to he merely an advisor.
TEN-DAY DRILL PRECEDES
10-MINUTE RAID ON HUNS
Practice on Duplicate of Fritz’s Trenches
Behind Lines;“Must Be Able to Charge
With Eyes Shut” Says Commandant.
A raid upon the enemy’s trenches
which occupies but 10 minutes of actual
fighting, is prepared and practiced every
day for 8 or 10 days in advance back
of the lines, said Lieutenant Colonel
John Leader, at the 2 o’clock class in
military sciences yesterday afternoon in
Villard hall.
“When you have decided what part
of Fritz’ trench you are going to raid,”
said the colonel, “you make an exact
duplicate of that section behind your
own lines. Then you get the men who
are going to make 'the raid and drill each
man so thoroughly in his particular
work that he can go through his part
with his eyes shut. The main thing
necessary for the success of the raid
is to surprise the enemy, and for this
reason not a single sound can be made
by the attacking party. Warn all your
men that any making a noise will be
shot.”
The most of the hour was given up
to a discussion of the various kinds of
obstacles used to delay troops.
“Yon must remember.” said Colonel
Leader, “that obstacles are of no value
unless they are placed near your posi
tion, so you can fire upon the troops
coming through them. They must not
be of such character as to afford con
cealment to the enemy, otherwise they
become an obstacle to you instead of
him. Also they must not interfere with
counter-attacks.”
One of the most common obstacles
used across roads is called a “ohavreaux
devrises," which consists of a two by
four piece of timber which has a great I
number of large spikes imbedded in it. |
This is very effective against infantry
and cavalry. Another device called a
“crow’s foot,” is made up of several
spikes bound together. This is placed
in fords across streams, and is prin
cipally to delay cavalry. For infantry,
loose barbed wire is thrown across the
ford.
For delaying advancing parties across
open country, a scheme, known as
“tros devrises,” is much used. Tri
angular-shaped holes three feet and six
inches wide and three feet deep, are
placed in rows across the ground. A
spike is placed in the bottom of each
hole and the whole camouflaged with
moss and grass.
A more elaborate obstacle is the
abattis. Trees are felled, their trunks
placed in holes and the branches lushed
together in long lines. Another ob
stacle on the same order is the wire
devrises, barbed wire strung from sticks.
The commandant opened his talk with
a few criticisms of the extended order
inarching, which took op the drill hour
previous. The different companies di
vided up into points, advance guards,
reserves, flanks and main body.
'1'lie different bodies did not keep ns
closely in touch with each other as
they should have and the flanking par
ties did not keep far enough in advance.
“For marching in open country like
this, each division should be widely sep
arated from the other,” said Colonel
Leader, “but should always be in sight
of and in connection with each other.
In Europe, where the land is all hedged
in, the points and advance guard inarch
more closely to the main body. The
points and flanks must be constantly
signalling to those behind.”
GAS ATTACKS TOPIC OF LECTURE
Colonel Leador Tells Methods of Mooting
Hun’s Chemicals.
Anything at hand which can be used to
do away with the effects of gas, accord
ing to Colonel Lender in his Tuesday eve
ning lecture to the class in military
science, is legitimate. A handkerchief
moistened in a solution of soda, a sock
filled with earth, or a piece of cloth will
help to allay the effects and may even
save the soldier's life.
There are numerous kinds of gases, he
said, and all of them can be guarded
against to some extent by the use of
these simple remedies. A warm clear
night with but little wind blowing is the
best time for the gas attack, and sen
tries should be instructed to be on the
lookout for any indications of the obnox
ious vapors coming from Fritz. About
the only way that one can tell of the ap
proach of the gas before it really occurs
ii from the low hissing which it makes
when escaping from the tanks of the
Germans. Often a sentry on guard is able
to tell the attack by the sounds of the
tanks rolling along the bottom of the
trench to positions of advantage.
Colonel Leader went on to give a list
of the articles which would he very use
ful in the trenches, saying that if one
was lucky enough to have a friend who
wanted to help one out, that any one of
the articles would be very useful.
While it may be possible to get all the
articles he listed in a 35-pound kit, he
stated, a great many of them can be
taken along, and they will certainly come
in handy.
