ATHENS. Oct. 1. The young Prince George, of Oreece, who was Crown Prince until compelled by the allies to abdicate his functions and leave the country with his lather. King Con stantine, has come into notice again by reports that he has taken a com mand in the German army. The Crown Prince is described by those who knew him as a real boy who liked sport and adventure much more than the things his tutors tried to teach him as future Kinsr. His boy-like na ture came out not long before the ab dication, while the game of "questions" was being played. When the question. "Who is your fa vorite author?" was asked most of the players gave the names of great authors, but the favorite author of the Prince was a writer of the most lurid type of Wild West literature. When he was asked his favorite motto he wrote: "N'ever say die. Never tell a lie. Never stick your finger in other peo ple's pie. W. K. Whitaker Speaks at Boistfort. CHEHALIS, Wash., Oct. 17.

Her masculine passenger unchi valrously de serting her when the motorcycle on which she was riding caught fire on North Minnesota avenue, the mysteri ously veiled woman, whose appearance in the streets the last few days has caused considerable comment and spec ulation, was forced to use a portion of her already abbreviated canvas skirt in extinguishing the flames which sprung up from all parts of the machine. Upon the arrival of the fire department, which was called as soon as it was realized that her gallant efforts in at tempting to check the devouring ele ment would be of no avail. th woman collapsed on tbe pavement. The motorcycle, which had a side car with the bathtub effect, was but little damaged, and the veiled woman upon resuscitation proceeded on her Journey me unje passenger and a portion of her costume. British Like German KIsh. LONDON. Oct. 9. Some good things come from Germany, and one of them is the German salmon, which is now be ing bred on a large scale in the Thames and has the advantage of being non migratory. At least it is non-migratory In its native waters, but it may change its habit here, as happened with the English and American brook trout which were, planted in New Zea land. In English waters the brook trout is never migratory, but in Xew Zealand they rapidly 'developed into confirmed sea rovers, and have now be come a fine and healthy race of sea trout, affording excellent sport and at taining; unusual size. ie u f Co ana iV.

Nearly a fortnight beyond the half-way station, the offi cer candidates at the training camp are beginning to speculate about the probable commissions. Approximately 120 men have been sent home by the discharge board, leaving about 1340 students still in camp. Colonel O. W. B. Farr. commandant, does not know how many commissions will be authorized. If there are 1200 men still on the payroll at the finish wire, a very optimistic estimate, and only 600 commissions are to be handed out. then the remaining 600 will have to go home disappointed. Ergo, camp authorities and students alike are sort of eager to know the ultimate decision of the War Depart ment. Few men have been dismissed from the second camp for disciplinary causes. Most of the dismissals have been res ignations. In the early weeks, many quit because they couldn't stand the rigors of camp life. Now many are turning in resignations because they have reached the conclusion that -they are either not physically fit to become officers or are temperamentally de ficient to boss a gang of soldiers around in war times. The new infantry companies will have 250 men, including riflemen, bombers and grenadiers, as against about 150 under the old regime, so it's going to be no child's play being Cap tain or Lieutenant of an infantry unit in this present war. - . . . During the past week the infantry men have been getting another touch of trench life. The "dough boys" spent the first couple of days massaging the hard clay with picks and shovels in strenuous efforts to manufacture dug outs in which" to sleep. Three days and two nights will com prise this month's sentence to the trenches and for November the same dose has been measured out by the War Department diagnosticians. In structors are required to occupy the trenches along with their commands. . ' Only one issue of food per day is the order in effect and some of the boys are going to be as skinny as rakes be fore they bid adieu to the "front line" this trip. This one issue of victuals is brought up from the rear at night. Just as is the case in actual warfare on the other side of the pond. The men are supposed to eat one-half of the food immediately, before it cools, and the other half at their leisure. Captain M. Clavel and Lieutenant G. Batal, of the French army, are here doling out the latest wrinkles in trench warfare, assisting Colonel Farr and Lieutenant-Colonel W. M. Morrow, one of the ablest line officers in the busi ness. ... A man who likes to soliloquize ought to like trench life, for nowadays the front-line trenches at night are guarded by only a few watchmen. The rest of. SfJ"j'i.icorj; C-aat rat-tf Sj-farmer-Q-st-C. SVUn. the fighting gang are tucked away in dugouts waiting the word of alarm from the watchers. The principal du ties of the watchmen are to look and listen, using the periscope principally, but always at some different spot, so as to protect it against rifle bullets. Captain Clavel says it is easy to de tect a gas attack even before the gas reaches the watchmen. The Huns are unable to move their large retorts to the front line without making a noise like a women's sewing bee. Escaping gas. too. produces a hissing that gives early alarm. As soon as the gas alarm is sounded all men slap on their gas masks and rush out of the dugouts, closing the doors with wet blankets. Nobody is allowed to re-enter the dug out until they have been thoroughly cleared of gases by the chemical anti dotes prescribed by the regulations. . Robert Fithian. well-known Portland boy. left a day or two ago for New York, en route to France. He is a commissioned officer in the flying corps. Frank B. Dudley, another Port land man, is now at San Diego' apply ing the final touches. He completed his ground course at the University of California some weeks ago and had ex pected to go to. England. ... Arnold S. Rothwell is now taking a course of lectures at the University of California. He expects to return to Portland within a few weeks. ... The War Department accepted so many resignations from officers of the Missouri and Kansas Xational Guard after they took their recent examina tions that it was found necessary to send a number of men commissioned at the last Presidio camp to Fort Sill, Okla.. to officer the Guard units. But. like many of the vaccinations in the Army, this scheme didn't "take." The Missouri and Kansas boys de manded officers from their own section and now the Reserve Officers are wending their way back to American Lake, wondering what next. ... Norman Ross. Portland boy who now has the distinction of being the world's greatest swimmer, has left for Ameri can Lake to Join the National Army. Norman has made application for transfer to the aviation corps, as he is ambitious to become a high flyer. Norman made application some time ago. but was turned down because he tipped the beam at 210 pounds. He says he has taken off 14 pounds and needs to reduce' only six more to make the grade. Ross has been attending Stan ford University. ... r. A battalion of artillery reached har bor the other day from the Philip pines and Colonel Farr. commandant, got busy immediately and lined up a couple of new instructors for the artil lery batteries. The War Department has been calling so many of the in struction corps to active duty that some of the companies and batteries have been woefully shy of talent. Three Oregon men are among the in fantry instructors in camp Philip Patterson. well-known Multnomah Club athlete. First Lieutenant in the United btates Keserve; Captain W. R. Arens. of Hood River, and Phil Car roll, of Hood River. An three are mak ing a tremendous hit as officers and I instructors. Cantain rrnl 1 9tti.nHii West Point for three years. ... They tell a good i-arn on Colonel W. M. Morrow, chief instructor of the camp. Colonel Morrow is a man big of frame and of heart and with a voice that could drown out a steam calliope' if he desired to extend his vocal pow- At the recent rifle practice on the Fort Barry range Colonel Morrow laid down on the ground for a few shots at the 500-yard target. v "Miss," signalled the man in the pit at his first shot. "Remark one," demanded ' Colonel Morrow of the telephone operator .who sat close behind the firing posts. The red flag was waved from the pit " n " r 1 a. .unifiric miss. "Miss, nothing," ejaculated the Colonel. "Here, let me talk to the pits.- 'Hello. this im C.nlnnnl Mnryniv ,n..lrl.v Tell No. 1 to wake up and mark my tar-: get again. I know I didn't miss.' " A mum.nt Int., V. v,Vi(t. rt t r. waved aloft from the pit indicative of a bullseye. It is said Colonel Morrow appreciated the Joke as much as any body. Colonel Morrow is a brother of Judga Morrow, of Portland. ... Student officers are called from the ranks every morning to conduct th physical exercises. Here's the command one-white-faced rook barked forth tho ther morn: "Hips on shoulders. Place." And another: "To tho squatting; position. Hop."
