Ill FU1 PLEDGES to be jpn Money Raised for Women’s League to Be Given to United Campaign. * lirls who pledged money toward the $-.000 Women’s League War fund last spring, which was to be collected this fall may consider those pledges can reled, according to Dorothy Flegel, pres ident of Women’s League. “Owing to the present war conditions,” she said, “it is far more important that we over-sub scribe our quota in the United War Fund campaign than to successfully raise our $2000 War Fund.” The suggestion has been made that all money received by Women’s League for its war fund up to the present time be used toward its pledge to the United War Fund. This suggestion cannot be acted upon until a meeting of Women’s League can be bold. ” By canceling these last year pledges,” said Dorothy Flegel, “the women can give their whole support jto the United War Fund campaign, which at present seems more import rut.” “University women,” said Marian Cof fey, head of the war work of Women’s League, “cannot raise $2000 over and above the $6000 which is our quota in the United War Fund campaign.” A nn eiing of Women's League will be held as soon as the ban on campus gatherings is lifted to settle the matter. Canvassers for team two under Miss Dews are Chi Omega, Grace Rugg; Del ta Delta Delta, Katherine De Yoe ; Pi Beta Phi, Louise Clausen; Delta Gam ma, Era Godfrey; Unit one of Hen dricks Ilall, Evelyn Smith; Mary Spil ler. Erma Laird; the Kincaid house, Miss Annie Laurie Rogers ; town girls whose names fall between “M” and "Z", Vel ma Rupert, Mary Turner, Ruth Scott. At the close of the campaign week the standings of the teams will be determined on a basis of one hundred per cent, al lowing twenty per cent on Vlounteer Day pledges, thinly per cent on total amount of pledges and fifty per cent on the number of subscribers. Buttons to Be Worn. Red, white and blue buttons are pre sented each subscriber to be worn dur ing the week of the Drive. If most of the subscriptions are made on Volun teer Day it will greatly facilitate the standing of the teams- Ballot boxes on Friday will be open in Friendly Hall, the Library, Hendricks Hall, the Y, M. C. A. Bungalow. Checks should be made payable to Dr. William F. Vance, Y. M- C- A. secretary who is treasurer of the war drive fund. Student pledges are due December 10. Faculty members are being asked to give ane and one-half per cent of their annual salaries with an exemption of $500.00. Thety will be given until March 10 to pay their pledges. Ail Students to Help. All Oregon students who are at home or away from the campus during the week of the drive are asked to send in their subscriptions so that they will all be counted on the University's quota.

Durno, Captain, Mearl Blake, Sam Lehman. t dricks Girls Start Something New and Mystic * Something which is not a sorority or r club or a society, or a click, or a clan or an association or even a league, but something which is entirely different from the above named but which can’t be told because it is secret, j'ou see, has sprung into existence at Hendricks hall almost ever night. Rack yotrr brain ns you will you won’t be able to guess what it is. The four charter members, Evelyn Smith. Corne lius Heesa, Marian Bowen and Frances Stiles, call it the Fantisi Khiyal, pro nounced with a strong Hindoo accent. The colors are black and white, the sign, the festive lantern. Since Sunday when the four respective white and black bows appeared on the four respective girls, three additional ones are wearing the little emblem. These are Miss Ger trude- Talbot, l’atty Trench and Alice S Uton. ^The purpose of the Fnnusi Khiyal is another deeply guarded secret, and the only information that can be extracted from a member on that point is that it is a manifold one and will gradually make itself known. As an intial affair the F. K.’s as they ere dalled for short, are to give an en tertainment in the very near future jn which all wearers of 'lie black are to take part, Makes Tour of the German Trenches Waiter Church, *16, Goes Sight-Seeing on Front and Wanders Right Into Real Battle. Corporal Walter E. Church, a Uni versity graudate of 1916. who has sten six months’ service in France wita th 63rd fie la artillery, A. E. F., writes to his mother, Mrs. P. L. Campbell, tel in4 of his experiences at the front. Ex tracts from his letter follow: "As I write we are waiting to hear the results of the German peace note to President Wilson. By the concensus of opinion among all the men here there seems to be only one answer—no armis tice, no parley. The president has ab solutely laid down has fourteen condi tions and unless Germany agrees to all we don't see how there can ever be a conference. We ate goin to do the set tling in this peace. Germany started the thing and it is easy to see that President Wilson means to end it. "I don't like to brag about the boys, j luit. really and truly, they are the ealtn ! est lot of fellows you ever saw. No ex | eitement beyond the ordinary cracking 1 of jokes and laughing at them, all the while going at their work as efficiently as ever. "I think I mentioned in my last letter the chance I had to go up to the first ' line trenches. I wouldn’t have taken I anything for that experience. Of course,, I can mention no names or places, but it was near a city whose name you would 1 readily recognize. There was a town j near the first place, which is situated i on a high hill, and the Germans had used it 'as an observing post. \\ e drove them off and not long after a group of us started to see what had happened. “It was my first look at the frout lines and it was a sight I will not easily forget. The day was cold and gray and a raw wind whistled through the skel eton trees. We first struck our second lines, hut passed quickly over and came to where our first lines had been. If you could only have seen that place. Great whitish gashes in the earth and then huge craters, old and new, lapping and running into each other. Most of the old ones were filled with green stag nant water. Torn and twisted strings of barbed wire everywhere, and once in in a while a blasted whitened stumps of wliat had been a tree. Over everything a damp, cold chill and a slinip fog. “The picture was terrible enough, hut when I looked over where the German trenches had been there was a worse one. We knew there had been trenches and dugouts, hut there was certainly nothing that could be called that now. And betweeu was no man’s land. I never before realised what a fitting term that was. Neither man nor the devil him self would claim it. j “We stflttek out across this chaos, : turning' and'twisting, climbing and slip j pin*, and once more I realized what it must have meant to those doughboys who went over the top in the pale dawn —what it must have meant with the ma chine guns spitting leaden curses from 1 beyond. I “W'e finally began to reach the sec | .-1’d lines of German trenches, evacuated very hurriedly, from all signs. And such trenches! Many feet underground, with all possible conveniences and equip ment, ns if they expected to stay for ; sortfe time. >' <* passed on across a barren plain toward the third line trenehes. Thus plain was a living—but. I should not use that terra—it was a tribute to the cour age of the doughboys. They had charged across here and cleared the woods be yond the machine guns—and every man left on that plain was like a finger pointing toward.the goal. “No one will blame us for hurrying past this. Tt e entered the woods and found there the most complete system of German trenches I have ever seen or imagined, lor long distances thev ran underground, connecting, like so many galleries. And the varied equipment left in the hasty retreat—I brought hack as a memento of the trip a German polished tan belt with a large buckle, with a crown and ‘Oott mit uns’ on it, together with a scabbard and a German bayonet with the back cut into the wickedest looking saw teeth imaginable—such a nice weapon to fight with. "One dug out was a perfect wonder. ’ Some high official certainly must have lived there. It was reached by stairs leading into a sunken court and there the facade itself was of concrete and had real glass doors and windows. In side were large, comfortable beds with springs, upholstered furniture and caba rets, etc.; on the walls were pictures of the kaiser in prominent places in large frames. On the table stood n vase of fresh flowers and an empty champagne bottle. Beside them stood the dainti est slender champagne glass, half filled. An upholstered chair had fallen or been hurriedly pushed back, when His High- I ness had left upon the receipt of the un- 1 believable news of the American ad- : ranee. "We pushed on through these woods and finally emerged. There lay before ns the town on the bill—or what had ! i once been a town. We wound up among the deserted streets and finally gained the. summit, from which the country for 1 many miles ground could be seen. This was the olu German observation post. "From this lookout we could see our boys, just at the foot of the hill, advanc ing on the Germans. It was actual fight, iug that we were now watching. About this time the boche began firing ou the ; town. We could see one gun ia\ the j edge of the woods flash, and very soon afterwards there came a burst behind 1 us. Next time it was in front. We.all ] hurriedly moved to the protection of a j nearby wall. Scarcely had we reached i it when the earth seemed literally to ; rise up just where we had been stand- ; iug a moment before. Well, things looked up from then on, so we decided to leave. I only wish I could have seen | our boys clear out those guns as we ; learned they eventually did. “We also found out that we had I reached that town just, one hour after j it had been officially taken.

He would have the instruction given largely by [ members of the faculty of the school who have had any n llitury training or e.v,ierL I once. Many of the teachers of ihn high schools,, ho thinks, have had military training recently.
