Some such an affair as the old Scotch rhymester described was the night of Vench warfare enjoyed by the members of the first summer military ramp at the University of Oregon, Thuraitv nlffht. The trench night was the closing feature of the work of the camp, which disbanded Saturday after a solid month of instruction and practice in matters military. It sounded like war, as residents of I he east end of Eugene, who missed from 10 to 100 per cent of one night's sleep during the cannonading which was part of the "show." fully realised. It looked Ilka war. say the spectators who' saw the flares and the rockets and the rald- inr . oartles crawling along xm thelrH stomachs In No Man's Land, only to be revealed by a searchlight from the foe and wiped out. It felt a bit like war, according to the men themselves, who entered into the spirit of the arrair witn at least all of the sest desired by Colonel John Leader, commandant. i Company 8 p frit Host High No decision could be rendered "When the battle ended at daybreak Saturday morning, owing to the fact that nothing but an actual struggle In the trench would determine the victory. The at tackers were kept a safe distance fr$m the defenders and the rifles shorn of their bayonets before the attack was made. Company spirit was running so high that some of the officers thought lt "just as well" that no actual assault was per mitted. "If you want to see a real bat tle," said one of the "raw meat" boys of B company, "just send over a bunch of those C company guys to make an at tack. We'llglve you something worth while.". (All this with a great show of seriousness.) The fellows learned, aocording to the officers, how easy it Is to get "all mixed up" in the dark in "No Alan's Land, and how hard it is to evade the enemy's flares and searchlights when you are out there snooping around, advancing "Enemy" Prove to Be Girls "Enemy patrol advancing at half-past nmei " reported U: OF O.

Two patrols from the same company got together and "fought" a spirited en gagement for several minutes before dis covering their mistake. Real Explosives Used But these were the exceptional events'. For the most part the showing was sat isfactory to Colonel Leader and his staff. The action was staged In the univer sity's trench system, just south of the campus, on the old golf links. Hero there are now two sets of trenches, with a No Man's -Land about ' 200 yards wide between. One of these sets, the one to the north, was constructed by the regu lar university battalion during the win ter term. The other is the work of the men of the .first summer camp. , Be tween the trenches 'the ground was per forated with "mines." which were set sentry to Major I off by electricity from a battery oper- Charlee pomfort, commanding D com- ated at a safe distance away by a set of pany.

Stealthily the men went out stalking their prey. The "foe" turned out to be a group of four girls who had sneaked Into the sone of "fire" to observe the action. They were not b sought in. Other little Incidents showed the dif ficulties sometimes of distinguishing work to a close and the men started taking trains for their homes in the. afternoon. Many have already expressed Uieir in tention of returning for the second camp to be conducted from August 3 to 31. Both the commandant and the men are enthusiastic over the result of the first camp. Colonel Leader is outspoken in his admiration for the way the men have worked. Their appreciation of him was indicated Thursday at lunch,. when they presented to him a fine leather traveling bag. The presentation speech was made by W. J. Kane of B. company. Mr. Kane Is a Catholic priest from Monroe and has laid aside his robes for the khaki and has ex pressed his intention of going to one of the central officers' training camps to fit himself for leadership in the army. Having officiated also at the presenta tion of a carrvinar ban- to Mrs. E. P. Datson, who' had charge of the feeding of the men in Friendly hall, Mr. Kane was picked again for the presentation of a bag to Lieutenant McNary at a ban quet gtveir by B company in the Hotel Osburn, Friday night. x Afoovr, left to riflhtO company, Major Charles Comfort commanding, takes U the trenches; mine explodes la No Man's Land.

Attack Proves No Surprise The final "attack" was made at 4:30 o'clock, just at daybreak, when Caotaln E. E. Brosius led C company against A company in the northern trenches. The advance was made in four waves by a series of rushes and was carried out to the satisfaction of Colonel Leader. Cap tain J. A. McKinnori of A company and his men, however, were on the alert and no surprise was scored. These two' companies had gone Into the trenches at midnight, having been held im re serve until that time. During the early part of the "battle" the trenches were occupied by B company, under Lieu tenant Robert McNary, and D company, commanded by Major Charles Comfort. While there were no actual casualties, several slight Injuries were reported when patrols came Into closer contact than had been expected. One man suf fered a cut above the eye, and another was burned rather severely about the arm wnen a flare started backward in stead of forward.

I could eat, but my digestion semed to be bad and my food did me little good Always arter eating I would have a . bloated, uncomfortable feeling.

Eugene, July 10. More, than 100 applications already have been received by Colonel William H. C Bowen. professor of military science and tactics at the University of Oregon, for information regarding ad mission to the central officers' training schools just established by the war de partment. . The actual applications will be made when the men, who are mostly from the west side of the state, receive the necessary blanks from the colonel. Almost all of the inquiries are from men who wish to enter the infantry, according to Colonel Bowen. A few are interested in the artillery. Colonel Bowen warns those few Who have ex pressed Interest in the coast artillery, engineering and aviation branches of the service that there is no provision for these in the central camp order. The only instruction provided for in these training schools is for infantry at Camp Lee. near Petersburg, va. ; Camp Oor don, near Atlanta, Oa., and Camp Pike, near Little Rock. Ark. ; for field ar tillery. at Camp Taylor, near Louis ville, Ky.. and for machine gun train ing, at Camp Hancock, near Augusta, Oa. ' The Oregon men who desire in fan try instruction will be sent to Camp Pike. The course of training there will be four months, as will that for ma chine gun students at Camp Hancock. The field artillery men will receive three months' training. Many of the requests for information. Colonel Bowen says, have come from Portland. While the men are supposed to oome to Eugene to be examined be fore being accepted, Colonel Bowen an nounces that If a sufficient number apply- for it, be will go to Portland and make it. He asks that those in Port land wishing to take the examination there send money order for 83. ' The part of this unused for the colonel's ex penses, he Announces, will be returned pro rata to the senders. No applications will be considered by Colonel Bowen from anyone who has passed his fortieth birthday. Any above that age can only be 'accepted by special action of the adjutant general of the United States. Colonel Bowen advises that as many as possible of those who intend to ap ply for admission to the central train ing schools take the' month's course of instruction in the second summer camp to open on the campus of the Univer sity of Oregon, August 8. No applica tions for the first of these training schools will be received after August 1. .The schools begin work on the 13th Applications for Music While You V:- Typewrite) Very 6 . .Latest Thg Out - ; - Oregon Agricultural College,-July 20. Music while one eats is no longer a novelty. 'but music while vtudenta' struggle with typewriter is an idea developed successfully in in the East, but being tried out at the Oregon Agricultural college for the first time. Picture a room full of summer school students with brows puckered and typewriters rattling at various rates of speed -then the music starts. A rhythm In the tapping of the keys gradually makes Itself felt, tense bodies relax, and soon all the typewriters are working to gether U harmony. Increased speed is Obtained by making the time faster. Marches and one-steps are played. Beginners in typewriting find X easier to work with music than do experts who are not used to rhythm, according t6 Miss Mabel Maglnnls. instructor in commerce. The tend ency Is to use the first finger and the fourth more rapidly than the others. When a rhythm Is estab lished the rale of writing beoomee more evenly distributed among the fingers. Words learned aocording to rhythm will always be written that way, says Miss Maglnnls. .- f ,, from empyema- following pneumonia. 1 admission to the central school should be accompanied, the colonel announces J bv a certificate from a surgeon con-f cernlng the applicant s physical oendl-l tion.
