University of Oregon. Eugene. July
SO. 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,

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

Charlee pomfort, commanding D com- ated at a safe distance away by a set of

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

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.
Friday afternoon and evening were
spent in recreation and amusement.

"About a year ago," he continued, "I
commenced losing weight and getting in
a run-down condition. My appetite
seemed to be good enough, that is. I
could eat, but my digestion semed to
be bad and my food did me little good
Always arter eating I would have a

. had a peculiar, puffed up feeling in my
left side, which I thought was caused by
" the gas on my stomach. I waa also con
stipated and while I never suffered much
, pain I knew something was wrong with
.'ma because I kept falling off until I got
down to ninety-eight pounds. ,
"Finally a friend of mine, who had
been taktng Tanlao with such good re-

University Of Oregon. 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

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.

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 ,,
