Oregon -V Emerald VOL. 20. EUGENE, OREGON, THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. 13, 1919. NO. 46. i MILITARY CAMPO WILL BE HELD Of! CAMPUSTHiS YEAR Training to be Given Under Colonel Leader to More Than 1.000 Men. ARMY RESERVE OFFICERS ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND Less Drudgery, More Games, is Plan; Old Staff May be Retained. Tie University of Oregon -will be the scene of a series of military training campB next summer, unde? the direc tion of the mtional government. Au thority to hold the camps was received by Alma D- Katz, civilian aide to the adjutant general of the United States, at Portland, from Charles B. Pike, chairman oif the central department of the National Military Camps Training Association, in a telegram, a copy of which was reecived here today by Lieu tenant Colonel John Leader, ini a letter from Mr. Katz. Colonel Leader, it is understood, will be commandant of the camps, which will be held during the summer on the campus of the Univer sity. The exact number of men to be trained duping the summer has not y et been de termined, Colonel Leader said today. In all probability, Said the Colonel, three thirty-day camps will be held, between June and October, accommodating from 1,000 to 1,500 mem. He is considering, however, reducing the length of the camps to fifteen days, to coincide with the amount of training required from reserve officers of the army, who do fifteen days’ work each year. These of ficers, while iu camp, receive the regu lar pay of their rank, as well as their (subsistence. Otheu-s Who null attend the camp are National Guard officers, state officials, and others to be desig nated by Governor Withycombe- Colo nel Leader went to Salem today for con sultation with legislators on the state’s oart in the coming camps. To Resemble 0. T. C. The course, Colonel Leader explained, will be much like that of the Oregon State Officers’ Training Camp last fall. “There will be less of drudgery than there was at that time,” he said, “and in place of the lectures on military tac tics we shall have lectures on Ameri cain military history. More emphasis will be placed on sports and games. We shall have field days frequently. We j shall have trench battles, but there will be no trenches to dig, as we shall use the system we have on the campus Also, we are going to have a baud this year, whatever else we do.” All equipment, tents, rifles, ammuni tion, will be furnished, Colonel Leader said, by the National Military Training Camps Association. ’The bringing of the camp to Eugene is attributed by Conoid Leader largely to the work of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce, which worked hard on the project. Larger cities on the coast were considered, but the department, in re jecting them and Camp Lewis, took tlie view that it would bo better to have the camp near a small community rather than at a large city. Colonel Leader has not yet taken any action toward assembling a staff of ns -'iwtants for the camp. He said yester day. however, that be hopes to have with him several of his associates in .the three training camps held last year. C. PATTERSON WILL TEACH ■Graduate Gets Call to Head Physics Department at Albany College. Chalmer Patterson, a graduate of the University in PM 7 and an assistant in the physics department until April. 1918, las accepted a position as head of the physics department iu Albany College] at Albany, Oregon. I Mr. Patterson received a call Tues day morning from Dr. W. II. Lee, presi-, dent of Albany College, and lie left at ante to assume his new duties. He has] been visiting on the campus for the lart ! week- j Student Prospector Strikes Gold Streak In Geology Museum The gold rush is on and we don’t hare to go back to the "miner forty-niner" in the good old days to hear about it. Oniy last week while prospecting in the Condou museum, Henry Howe, a major in the geology department, found a specimen so peppered with gold that he succumbed to its dazzling rays and found it necessary to call Professor W. D. Smith to the rescue, fearing that he was a victom of sunstroke. The student had been assigned some work in connection with collection of rocks which had been sent out for edu cational purposes by • the government years ago and which was one of the early additions to the museum. Among various samples of rock was a specimen labeled "Beach Sand," from Sullivan’s Island on the Atlantic coast. This was the dazzler, the radiant piece of tangible sunshine that jeopardized the young geologist and sent the valuation of the geology speci ments kiting upward. The rich gold streak was found in a piece of incorrectly labeled quartz and it has served as an impetus to many rockily inclined students who since the discovery, have been spending more than a normal amount of time in the museum. An epi demic of gold fever is raging in the geol ogy department as a result. Professor Smith hns put the gold streaked quartz under lock and key and has 'on special occasions used it in his classes, as a specimen in discussing ways and means for separating gold from for eign materials. Professor Smith believes that the rock was mis-labeled in the gov ernment survey office, or that someone is attempting to play a practical joke on the department. Time Limit is Set to Insure Appearance of Yearbook Junior Weekend. Complete reports of the progress of the work on the Oregana were given at a meeting of the staff Tuesday night, in the Journalism annex. Adelaide Lake, editor, emphasized the importance of Waving all the pictures in early, the lat est possible date being February lo, she asserted. Miss Lake was enthusiastic over the work already completed arcd ex pressed her determination to have the year book completed by Junior Week end. “If the pictures are not in by the fif teenth,” said Miss I/ake, “they will have to be left out of the book, since this is the only way wo can be sure of having the book out oim time.” If everyone is prompt in ordering the exact number of solios from the photographer for every time he is to appear in the book it will help a great, deal,” she stated, “since a lot of time is wasted in going back and ordering more at the last minute-” * Leith Abbott, feature editotr, urges j every house to collect snaps which can I be used in the feature section and to I save them for him. With the co-opera- | tion of the houses in this way lots of i good pictures can be obtained, he says.’ Miss Lake urged that every member | of the staff have something especially unusually attractive in his section which j will make this year book appeal to the | students ns just as good or better than any Oregana yet. E. B. PIPER TO TALK ON WAR Oregonian Editor will Tell About Trip to European Countries. “War Glimses” is the topic upon which Edgar B. Piper, managing editor of the Oregonian, will speak at assem 1 bly Wednesday morning, February 19. |Mr. Piper was to have spoken at the ^assembly yesterday, but was unable to kfome owing to a previous engagement. k Mr. Piper was one of group of news paper men who were guests of the Brit ish government on a trip to Europe shortly before the signing of the armis tice.

(Bill) Haseltine, 1038. now in Harvard Law School, is enjoy ing his early experi *nces in Cambridge tind Boston, according to a letter just received from him. lie is much im pressed with Harvard. “There is n splendid class of men here,” he writes. “I don't believe I ever saw so many really brainy men to gether before. The competition is keen. Phi Beta Kappa keys are a common sight- You certainly get some wonder ful opportunities back here. We had a meeting last night at which President Sflliot and some of the professors spoke, and they were simply great. They brought out big ideas in simple lan guage, and it was no effort to follow "them.” Bill says he reads everything in the Emerald, including the advertising, and, with the old campus swinging around to pre-bellum conditions once more he’d give most anything, he writes, to be here for a few days again. “Every inn out Cambridge way,” writes Bill, “brags of the fact that ‘Washington ate a meal here,' or 'Wash ington slept here.’ One enterprising chap put up a house with the sign, ‘Washington never set foot in here,’ and he got all the business.” Bill says that Ilarold Cake, who is a student at “Tech,” and he fan over old times at Oregon at every opportunity— which means only “week-ends, as both Tech and the Law School have a habit of utilizing most of the students’ time.” WILL GIVE EXHIBITION The women's phys cal training depart ment will give an exhibition of its work on March 14.

The University of Oregon basketball team will journey to Corvallis this week end where they will entertain the quintet representing the Oregon Agricultural College ou Friday night and Saturday af ternoon. This will be the first time these ancient rivals have met ou the basket ball floor this season and from the looks ot things the contests should be interest ing to the nth degree. O. A. C. got a late start this seasou but they are going strong at present. They defeated the University of Wash ington quintet in both games at Corval lis and are out after the scalp of the Oregon team. “Butts” Reardon is back and will lie seen in action this week. Reardon is a good basketball player and has just started turning out this season but will probably be in the line-up that starts against Oregon. At center the Aggies are featuring “Babe” McCart. McCnrt is built like the AVoohvorth building and he is some bas ketball player. He will be remembered as one of the O. A. C. “rooks” who help ed to trim the Oregon Frosh last season. Herra Lind is going to have to stand on stilts if he is going to outjump this bird as he has an arm like a pump handle and sure can catch up among the clouds. Arthur. Agglos Best Man. The host bet that the Aggies have to offer is Arthur, who is playing one of the forwards and is converting fouls. He is given a lot of credit by the Aggie scribe for (he winning of the games from Washington and a great deal is expected of him at Corvallis this week-end. Coach Dean II. Walker, of the Ore gon team, will gather his squad around him and hie unto the Oregon Electric de pot about 1:."() Friday where he will grab a rattler for Corvallis. After various and sundry negotiations Walker succeeded In getting the powers that be at O. A. C. to set the second game for Saturday af ternoon in order (tint the members of the team could get bark to God’s country in time for ttie Freshmen Glee. The Oregon Freshmen will he among those present at O. A. C. this week-end also. They have a little engagement with the Aggie Hooks which will serve as cur tain raisers for the varsity contests. Coach “Shy” Huntington will probably take about ten men with him and will start the same lineup that was sent, into the fray against the Indians here last Saturday. Two Games With W. S. C.

C. on Wednesday and Thurs day evenings. On Friday evening they will clash with the University of Idaho. On Saturday evening they may either play the Walla Walla Y. M. C. A. team or re turn to Portland and clash with the Multnomah Club five. In order to grab first place in the Northwest Conference Oregon must win all six games that she has yet to play, four from O. A. C. and two from W. S. C. The W. S. O. are to he the hvdest as the Washington team is one of the strongest in the league and is out to win. They will have the advantage of playing on their own floor with their own student body behind them. FACULTY PARTY MONDAY Basket Supper, Speeches, Music, Stu.'H'; to Furnish Eentertainment.

Jen kins, of Albany, who returned to the cam pus yesterday from damp Travis at San Antonio, Texas, where he was commis sioned a first lieutenant in the machine gun corps and where he had the oppor tunity to get in close touch with the Mexican situation. "The common opinion of the people who live along the border,” said Jen kins, “is that America must yet clean up Mexico. American soldiers on the bor der line see fighting every night, although no mention is made of it in the papers.” Censorship on mail between the I'nited States and Mexico has, according to him, greatly increased in the last two weeks. This he takes ns an indication that im mediate action is contemplated. "One man can not do border patrol,” he said, “as he would be picked off by the Mexicans as many of them have been. We are losing men on the border line every day.” Jenkins registered in the University yesterday and will complete work for bis A. It. degree this year, lie left the Uni versity last spring and received a com mission as first lieutenant, at Camp Tra vis this summer. He is planning to con tinue his work in the University next year as a post-graduate in order to com plete his work in the School of Architec ture. COL. LEADER VIEWS HIGH SCHOOL DRILLS Military Training Well Organ ized, He Says, Proves Success. Colonol John Leader has returned to the campus again for a brief stay, after his trip through central Oregon, where he spoke at Ilood River, La (Irande, Vale, Ontario, and Baker. The colonel Infs been gone for a fortnight making speeches at the various high schools and community assemblies on the need for military train ing in the secondary schools. “In nearly all the places which I vis ited,” said Colonel Leader, “some sort, of a working military organization has been established and is doing splendidly. It has proven a success in every case.” Some of the high schools, Colonel Leader said, have cadet uniforms and rifles, and Hurt all will have upon appli cation. A telegram wn's recently receiv ed by the colonol in which Senator Mc Nary ueges that this military training he furthered so that Oregon can he the first state in which this sort, of training was instituted in the schools as part of the regular curriculum. At. present the drill work is handled by some officer in the town who is giving his services, hut there is a hill up now before the legislature of Oregon for (lie appropriation of twenty thousand dollars to provide for proper military training and equipment in the secondary schools.

I IKED OF HIU HELPFOR FRENCH CHILOfiEI IS TOLD One Million in France are Or-1 phans; Each Given but 10 Cents a Day. MISS BREMDA FRANCKLYINi PLEADS FOR NEEDY ALLY Germany will Defeat Cause of Democracy if Aid Fails Says Speaker. "The sole hope of the future of l'rat*^ lies in her children, 1,000.000 of whom are orphaned by the war,” snid Miss Rrendu Frnnekl.vu, daughter of the com missary general of the llritish army in India and official speaker for the com mittee for the devastated children of France, in her address before the as sembly yesterday morning. 1\ ith her hands tied financially, France is faring the vital problem of caring for tlu> helpless little ones, whose condition, Miss Francklyn says, is appalling. “France must help build up those chil dron, hundreds of whom are nervous wrecks from shell shock and hundreds of whom are insane,” snid she. At present, according to Miss Francklyn, France can give each orphan but ten cents a day and she must have aid. The American people are being asked especially by Fran/ to stand behind her until she can got back on her feet financially. They are being asked to give an additional ten cents toward the maitnennnce of these father less children. “Unless we stand behind France and help her build during this reconstruction, Germany will have defeated her and our great ideal of denfocracy will have been defeated,” Miss Francklyn explained, "while America’s famous cry for demo cracy will remain only as an echo unless we work together for the destruction of our common foe—autocracy.” No Nation Solf-Sufficiont. Tn opening lior address, Miss Franck l.vn pointed out that, the world is now en tering on n fresh period of consciousn ess; that four and one-half years ago each nation imagined herself sufficient unto herself, but that today, owing to the sacrifice of millions of lives, each nation lias conic to realize that she is hut the part of n whole and is bound up with every other nation. “As long as any one nation is suffering ns France is suffer ing today," said Miss Frnncklyn, “we must help look after this suffering.” For four and one-half years, explained Miss Frnncklyn, France lias financed the war with DO per cent of her income gone, as 00 per cent of tier industries were conducted in the invaded territory and completely destroyed by the invading Germans. "There is not a vestige of them left,” said Miss Frnncklyn. “it was not only France's industries that were de stroyed, but the working of her great coal and iron mines ns well.” It. will he two years before a shovelful "f coal can he mined and 10 years before the mini's can really he operated, Miss Frnncklyn was told by it French engineer. “England,” declared Miss Frnncklyn, “thought it an astounding thing how France survived, since an army can not fight without coal and iron.” Germany had staked her all on the war and could not stop aft'"- *’ ’ t^l, . 1 — 1 . iiM'in v ttuu isutj nvrtrpi* beigium <nit of the way in order to get at the gold that was locked up in Paris in 101 1.” Owing to her industry, France had. at that time, according t~> Miss Frnncklyn, deposits of gold greater than the combined deposits of England, Ger bany and Russia. “So that in German minds.” continued Miss Franeklyn,, “was the double purpose of robbery and mur der.” “Of the 5,000,000 people who once liv ed in the ipvaded district, 11,000,000 are so shattered in nerve and body that not one of them is whole and solid. The total | casualties in the French army are R, 000. 000. Of this number, 1.500.000 were killed outright.” When the society which Miss Franck 1. vn is representing, was organized, two and one-half years ago for 'he purpose of helping the children of France, each American who adopted the support of a French orphan was given the name and (Continued on page 2.)
