A secondary result of the inocula tions, more important to many fortu nate ones who felt no evil physical effects, was the fact that Ln the ma jority of cases the injections were given on Saturday or Sunday morning, there by succeeding in spoiling to a consid erable degree the Joyfully anticipated week-end celebrations. Little Time la tTaoecnpleO. It was particularly hard for San JTrancIsco men at the camp, but also caused much regret ln the Portland contingent, which has many friends ln the Bay City and finds no difficulty ln pleasantly spending what little spare tjme from studies that is presented. "' As a matter of fact, there la no such thing as spare time during weekdays, and many conscientious students find no spare time for week-end parties. Nightly excursions to San Francisco, never popular among those who are at tending the camp with the determina tion to make something of themselves, .re now under the ban, Lieutenant colonel F. W. Sladen. having decreed that camp Is the best place for students xcept. during the week-end and, gen erally, even then. San Francisco crowds these days are plentifully peppered with the olive drab uniforms, and show an occasional iash of color in the red, white and -blu of marines and sailors' blue and ..white. The boys in uniform are pop "lilar and are welcomed in exclusive .afes, where once a soldier would-have been made to feel sadly out of place. Soldiers Visit Exclusive Cafes. At Tait'a famous peacock room and at Techau's tavern the theater and din Tier dansants are patronized by many of the boys ln "O. IVs." who manage to swing, teeter, or whatever the modern dance steps may be called, along in quite an adept fashion, despite the broad-toed military shoes frowned upon by dancing masters. Students of the training camp predominate ln these re sorts Saturday nights. The order that uniforms must not be doffed for civilian clothes, on or off the Presidio reservation, has been dis regarded ln a few instances, it is re ported, but most invitations to full dress parties received by training-camp Students ar regretfully declined. The chief objection which has been raised against the clothes edict is that While the wearers are proud of their uniform they are a trifle bashful about appearing in the company of the fair sex ln clothes which they have been wedded to continuously, in which they have wallowed about in sand and dirt during prone position drills and have perspired freely ln during practice marches and exercises. ' There is no such thing as a change ef uniform for 99 per oent of the stu dents here. A few, it is true, came to camp prepared with neatly tailored of ficers' uniforms and leather puttees. As they must wear the regulation uni form for privates at camp they have these pretentious outfits for social wear, although the wearing before they have commissions or while they still are ln camp is not strictly ln accotd with military etiquette. T" Shirt Are ForaUbed. Two olive-drab shirts are furnished the students here, but only one pair of trousers and one O. r. blouse or coat. Their only Sunday wear is a white shirt with a collar edge showing above the uniform In which they have flopped around during the week at the cry, "Lie down!" when on the skirmish line. The "weeding-out" process is under way and will be In full swing next week. Quite a number of heads have fallen already, some those of men who could not stand the second physical test administered by examiners at the camp, others those who plainly did not have the ability to become future lead ers of men, and those who lingered a little too long with the flowing bowl ln the first weeks of the camp before the War Department's order placing the ban upon the sale of intoxicants to liien in uniform went into effect. A strange phenomena here is the wail of a few souls who think the instruct- FIVE SPECIALS Hot Cakes and Coffee Hot Waffle and Coffee Qq EZZZZ ioc Chili Con Carne "5 for Ot Coffee and Doughnuts K for tlC COCOA DRUGS BY MAIL WE PAY THE POSTAGE If in need of Pare Drags and Chem ical.

The men are not "mollycoddled" here. . There is a manly sympathy with which their real problems are met and a disposition on the part of the Army officers ln charge to go to unusual lengths ln helping the man who is sin cerely doing his best to succeed, but the whiner is not tolerated, either by instructors or "bunkies. Last week saw the Inauguration of Friday afternoon hikes with equip ment. Under light marching kit, the men were taken for a two-hour tramp to within sight of the Oolden Gate Fri day. Saturday brought a three-hour and a quarter drill at "attention" on the parade grounds, during which various candidates serving as tem porary officers ln company organiza tions had an opportunity to show their ability in handling Army units ln ele mentary drill. At the end of the first two weeks in June, if not before, a general reassign ment of companies will be made and the present infantry companies will be divided into Infantry, cavalry and ar tillery divisions. DRIVE DECLARED ENDED TTOJI' HTVDEXBCRO REPORTS SIT UATION TO KAISER. Emperor, ln Transmitting News to Em press, Conclude Effort, of Enemie Are Failure. BERLIN', via London, June 2. The French and British offensive on the western front has come., to a definite conclusion, according to a report from Field Marshal von Hindenburg to Em peror William. Official announcement is made that the Emperor has sent the following telegram to the Empress at Homburg Castle: "According to a report from Field Marshal von Hlndenburg the great British and French Spring offensive has come to a certain conclusion. Pre pared since Autumn and announced since Winter, the attack of the British and French armies, supported by pow erful masses of artillery and technical resources of all kinds, has failed after seven weeks of hard struggle. God's aid has granted our . Incomparable troops superhuman force to accom plish excellent acts and endure suc cessfully the mightiest battles ever seen ln the history of war. All our heroes by their deeds command the re spect and gratitude which every Ger man feels. The Lord be praised. Glory for his help and thanks for such mag nificent people in arms." Emperor William also has sent a telegram of congratulations to Emperor Charles on the Austrian resistance to the Italian attack on the Isonzo front, saying: "In a tenacious struggle the Isonzo army defied the mighty and stubborn enemy and caused him to fail. I con gratulate you and your brave troops on this great success. God will be with us further." HEGRO HELD PATRIOTIC REV. W. H. PRINCE RETURNS FROM MONTANA REVIVALS. Reception Given for Evangelist at Havre and In Adore Be Says Race Is True to Country. HAVRE, Mont, June 2, A reception was tendered to Rev. W. H. Prince, of Portland. Or, who concluded a success ful series of revival services at St. Stephens African Methodist-Episcopal Church here. He left for his home in Portland, where he is pastor of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. After the reception. Evangelist Prince made an address on "Patriot ism." He said in part: "Never before has this country made appeal to the patriotism of its citizens with so much apprehension as today and the reasons for this are quite obvi ous; our land Is endangered by the cunning of the enemies of our govern ment ln high places; our government is facing shrewd and indefatigable warriors of . Prussianlsm. "Some suspicion is entertained as to the negro's attitude toward this war. because of his restlessness under the treatment of the Southland which is evidenced by the exodus of more than B00.000 negroes, and also because some retaliation would come from the negro of the South. But it Is our opportuni ty, thank God, to prove with our in creased intelligence and advancement in material worth, what we did not show to the world ln our less enlight ened age in our more impoverished state half a century ago. that no Ro man sword or no truer devotee ever carried the American flag than the American negro, according to his op portunity to prove it." BRAZIL TO SEIZE SHIPS PRESIDENT BRAZ ORDERS USE OF INTERNED GERMANS. Forty-atx Merchant Vessels, Aggre gation; 244,779 Ton, Are Heidi Chile Reserve Right to Act. RIO JANEIRO, June 2. President Bras today signed a decree providing for the utilization by Brazil of the German ships ln Brazilian ports It is believed the decree will be put Into ef fect today. Forty-six German merchant ships were laid up ln Brazilian ports early in the war. The vessels aggregate 244,779 tons, of which the largest is the Hamburg-American liner Bluecher, of 12.350 tons. Thirty-three of the ves sels are of more than 4000 tons each. SANTIAGO. Chile, June 2. President Dl Sanfuentes has sent a message to the Chamber of Deputies, on the occa sion of the opening of the body, ex pressing his satisfaction that Chile had been able to maintain her neutrality ln the world war, but declaring that the republic reserved her right to take any action which might bo required for the defense of her interests.

Merchants of Toledo, Cowlitz Prairie, Winlock, Eveline and Napavlne have entered Into a compact for the estab lishing of a 80-day credit limit.

BONE-DRY LAW IN FORCE Drinking While "Wearing Uniform Cause for Discharge Fighting Found to Bo a Profession. Competition for Commissions. BT LAMAR TOOZE. PLATTSBURG H BARRACKS, N. T June 2. (Special to the Oregonlan.) Oregon, with her bone-dry liquor law, has nothing on Plattsburirh Barracks. Kansas, during the balmiest days of Carrie Nation was never more arid than the graining camp on the banks of Lake Champlain where now are quar tered 5000 candidates for commissions in the Reserve Corps. There's no qualification to Colonel Wolfs order. "We don't want boozers in the Army. Any man on the reserva tion who is apprehended with liquor ln his possession or who is seen drinking intoxicating beverages while wearing the uniform will be summarily dis charged." Soon after the promulgation of this order, a would-be officer ar rived in camp- after a week-end excur sion up the lake, still savoring of the effects of a "party" and was promptly asked to return home, "fare at three and one-half cents a mile." The commander of my company. Cap tain Romeyn, of the Second Cavalry, has extended the mandate to the use of profane language. He has been in the service S3 years and he says that while the Army doesn't intend to make Purl tans out of the men. it does require them to be gentlemanly. Fighting Become Profession. Fighting has, indeed, become a pro fession. Every man from the com manding officer to the buck private in the rear ranks knows his own Job as well as the Job of the man next above him. and knows them thoroughly. In fact, it is a necessary requisite to pro motion that each man should instruct the man below him ln the duties of his present position. Officers are special izing. War has become a game of ex perts. It has changed from the "Pick ett's Charge" variety of fighting to the cool, scientific calculations of military geniuses. It has become a game of machines, not men. The latest devices of destruction are being adapted to use ln the American army so far as practi cable. A concrete example Is the adoption of the British methods of bay onet fighting which have been tested out on the western front and which are superior to those employed by the French. As Captain Romeyn says: "Bayonet fighting is no gentleman's game." Our instructions are to learn how to stick four inches of good steel Into an adversary's body, preferably under the chin, and not allow him to return the greeting. One discouraging feature of these bayonet exercises. however, is that the German bayonet is four Inches longer than ours. But un doubtedly, the handicap will be over come before any American soldiers are ordered to charge a Boche trench. Competition la Keen. The competition for commissions is keen. Most of the men have had pre vious military experience, although all are placed on the same basis, including reserve officers. A card index, tabu lating the progress of each man. is be ing kept. The impression seems to pre vail that commissions for active service with the first 600,600 will be deter mined from a competitive standpoint but the balance of the men who meet the requirements will be given commis-. sions and placed on the reserve for fu ture calls. From reveille to taps, the men are put through a succession of drills and marches and lectures. Its no place for slackers. The story is going the rounds that an ex-Canadian soldier who fought and was wounded in France resigned from the camp because the work was too strenuous. The selective process has been going on since the camp started. Authentic figures are unavailable, but It is re ported that 100 candidates have already been sent home. Three from my com pany have been "nipped." two for test ing thteir pugilistic prowess, the third for physical deficlences. Written ex aminations are given each week, the results of which will largely determine each candidate's statua The instruction, by Army officers, is thorough and complete. So far as pos sible, the same methods are used as at West Point. The Instructors are picked men and admirably qualified for their work. Any man who holds out for the three months' period will have a good Insight of things military. Franklin Stalger. of Portland, is also a member of the New England training regiment. RECRUITING SPEED URGED Grants Pass Representative Told Enlistments Come Slowly. GRANTS PASS. Or.. June 2. (Spe cial.) A letter received by Corporal Broderlck, of the local recruiting of fice, today from the department at Washington, announces that recruiting for the regular Army Is progressing Blowly, owing, presumably, to the pendency of war registration. The letter asks that extraordinary efforts be put forth to speed up enlist ments, as less than 50 per cent of the additional quota needed to bring the regular Army up to full authorized strength had been obtained ln a hard 60 days' campaign. The letter adds that 1 new regiments are being formed at IS concentration camps, which means that approximately 100.000 recruits are needed for the regular organization. BONDS OPPOSITION DENIED Definite Attitude Not Taken, Says O. A. C. ExtensionWork Director. CORVALLIS. Or.. June 2. (Special.) In the issue of June 2 of the Oregon Voter appears a letter from Dennis Stovall. of Philomath, in which he makes the statement that the men of the extension department of Oregon Agricultural College are opposing the road bonds. When the attention of Director Hetzel. head of the depart ment, was called to the statement, he said: "There is absolutely nothing to It. The extension department regards the matter as seml-polltlcal and conse quently has studiously avoided an atti tude either one way or the other."
