follows: , -
"You will be interested to know
that we all passed the board here

The Dalles, five Oregon men In all
We have most of our equipment
purchased and will get our foreig
service uniforms tomorrow, althougl-
not permitted to wear them unti
the day we sail. This is a war de

not very filling, you will have t;
ask Washington for something mor

yesterday and underwent a search

vaccinated in the left arm for small
pox and took our first of three
"shots" In the right arm for typhoid:
the others follow at several davs

were on the shelf most of l?st nigh
and today from the typhoid Inocu
lation, but Elvin and I were not very
much affected, except that the arm
is very sore, Our rotound physical
director will say that our blff-bav

by the way, this letter is for all mv
good friends in the Y. M. C. A. and

however, as two men just before m

CADET STATUS
IS EXPLAINED
Boys in Salem Guards Cannot
Serve as Officers in High -School
Company
Members of the Salem high school
cadet corps who enlist In the new
Salem company of home guards will"7
not be allowed to serve as officers:
In the cadets, by a ruling that has
been made ' by those in authority
over the cadets The reason given Is .
an entirely practical one, and the
boy who serve in both companies
will not be deprived of their, high
school credits as has been rumored.
Superintendent John W. Todd ex
plains that it will be Impossible for
boys enlisted in both companies to
serve as officer in the cadets for the"
reason that if the state guards were
detailed to duty the cadets would be
deprived of their officers, or if both
were asked to participate in the same
parade, for example, the cadets
would be- unof fleered. .1 .
"Should service in the two com
panies .conflict for the cadets who
are also In the guards," said Mr.
Todd. the high 'school boys would
be expected to give the guards pre
cedence, and this would be right
But If the boys were officers In tho
cadet corps It would demoralize the
high school -company. This Is the
reason for the ruling that has been
made.",- O
The question came up, according
fo an officer of the guards... when
some of the hlih school boys' were
observed removing the , chevrons
from their sleeves at a recent drill
of the ruardsr i
The high school company is not
subject to a call for service.
