army at Washington at the end of
tho camp for his assignment to ac

Multnomah Athletic club.
Training at the OrtRon Agricultural
college has crxitly helped those here
who have been fortunate enough to
takft advantage of the military feature
of that Institution. For this reason
there la a feeling among- the Oregon
boya In camp that at least two thirds
of the stmlerts from their state will
be given commissiorry.
O. A. C. Boys CompllmraUd
At laxt they in r that Oregon
will iip the list nf t:i4 states in the
western d.-partmcnt f the army, as
far as the number of students who
draw commls.sinYis Is concerned.
That the showing being made hy the
O. A. ". boys is being noticed Is evi
denced by a remark dropped one day
this week by one of the instructors.
Indicating that, in his opinion, the
military schooling of the college Is of
a lilf. h standard.

crnisfiouslj spoiling their chances of
getting a good dinner, is one of the In

to occasionally.
It was while First and Second com-
.panies were being given their turn at
the bullseye In target practice that
the three Orcgonlans referred to were
acting In the capacity of Instructors
with nine others. At the end of a
buty day some one proposed that the
Instructors shoot a certain number of
rounds at a certain target, the three
lowest to buy the dinner for the bunch.
When the shooting was about two
' thirds over, the three Oregon boya
had gained such a lead that the oth
ers rave up in disgust and declared
tho bet off.

when 600 Ftudenta from various parts
of the northwest and California drew

Siamese Princes
Training for War
Zurich, Aug. 4. Among the recruits
now in training at the Infantry school
at Thun are four Siamese princes of
the highest rank. Two of them have
already been promoted to the rank of
non-commlssloned officers, and the pro
motion of the two others will take place
soon. All four or them will be trans
ferred to the w.ar college as soon as
they pass the necessary examinations
and are sure to become officers before
they return to their native land.
The princes were In Germany when
the present war broke out, but left-
Munich, where they had been pursuing
the'.r studies, two years ago, to come to
Switzerland. They entered the Univer
sity of Zurich, and last spring peti
tioned the Swiss government for per
mission to enter a military training
school as plain recruits All of them
speak French and German fluently, and
they are very popular with their Swiss
comrades.

"Somewhere in France," JuCy 12. I
am now In the French aviation school
and learning how to Imitate the birds.
The work is tremendously Interesting.
The school covers over 40 square miles
' and Is, as you can see, a huge affair.
There are about 300 or 400 aeroplanes
and around 2000 student pilots. About
seven different nationalities are rep
resented among the young men, princi
pally French, Russians and Americans.
We spend three months where our
grounds'' are and then go to a place
where we are taught acrobatics, such
as looping the looj, tne vrille, which
Is falling for 2000 feet with your en
gine shut off and fluttering In cir
cles like a leaf, and several other
pleasant things.
Must Take Chances
An aviator at the front must be able
to do these things to have . a chance
In a combat. I have seen two or three
Frenchmen save themselves by doing
the vrille and making the Bosch think
he has been hit.
After a month we go to a place near
Paris, where we practice with machine
runs. The mitrailleuse Is fastened
with a telescopic sight In front of tho
pilot and Is geared so as to fire
through the opening In the propeller
as It revolves. One Shot goes from
the gun for each three revolutions of
the propeller.
To aim the mitrailleuse you must
steer the whole machine, so you need
quite a bit of practice before com- j
petlng at the front. The whole train- (
lng lasts about rive months.
Divided Into Classes
The school here Is divided Into five
. The first, which I am on now.

are Bieiiot monoplanes witn cupped
wings and threo cylinder engines which
will not rise off the ground. We spend
on these trying to drive them
up and down the iieia in a straigm

cult Everyone laughs at the others
doing It out It will lnvarlabOy turn In
a circle If you are not watching. A
sudden gust of wind or a bump on the
ground are enough to start It going
crookedly.
After the penguins we are graduated
to the Toller" class. Here we use
regular Blerlot machines which go over
the ground at (0 miles, an hour.
We have to drive these along the
ground without rising and In a straight
Una This Is very difficult, because If
you get the tall too high the nbe will
stick Into the ground and yru will turn
turtle; It you get the taW down the
machine will rise off the gjOund ar.d
the ending will probably be disastrous
as you have as yet had no practice 'n
landing. It Is exciting work and is
principally to get you used to the con
trols and give you a delicate. touch and
confidence.
Blerlot Planes TJsed
After this you go Into a class where
btou go ofr the ground far a nunarea
yards or so and then land, going along
in hops and jumps. Next we make
regular flights In Blerlot monoplanes.
The Blerlot machine Is chosen for th-s
preliminary training because it Is very
hard to drive and when you know how
to control a Blerlot monoplane you
can pilot any kind.
The next step la to learn tho machine
we use at tho front, the Nieuport. This
