ECGENE, Or, Aug. 8. (Special.) The student enrolled In the Students" Army Training Corps when registering under the draft will state that he is already in the military service of the United States, according to an instruc tion received at the University of Ore con this afternoon, setting forth the status of the college student who vol unteers for military instruction at the university in the unit to be formed upon the opening of school next Fall. The fact that the student will be tech nically on active duty will necessitate that he register for the draft. He will be placed in class D, and draft boards will not call him for induction so long as he remains a member of the Stu dents' Army Training Corps. In order that the student may not appear to enjoy special privileges, when his number is drawn In the draft, it is provided the fact shall be reported to j the Dresident of the college. This will be the day of reckoning, and it will then be decided by the president and commanding officer for what branch cf military service the student, in their Judgment, is best qualified. They will recommend that the student either con tinue his studies to prepare for work along some technical line; that he go at once to an officers' camp, or that he be sent Into some branch of the service. Their report will be made to the committee on education and special training of the War Department. The presumption Is that for the next year the greater pari oi me oiuuem body of the colleges reaching 21 years will be reaulred to supply a large pan of the officers needed for the National Army.

I have Just received word from Klamath and Lake counties and from other sec tions that the danger is slight and the rains which we have had have made ae ferrlng the open season unnecessary. 'Large numbers or people enjoy tneir annual vacations hunting in the woods, and It wonld be unnecessary to deprive them of this enjoyment unless some danger were involved. Serious consid eration of all the conditions leads me to believe that such danger Is lacking. I have discussed the matter thoroughly with State Forester Elliott, and he also believes the necessity for keeping the season closed is not urgent. COLONEL BOWEN IS COMING University Military.
