"It has been very interesting to fol low the course of the University in re gard to military training. It was in deed fortunate to receive the services of Colonel Leader, who. In addition to his actual service 0n the western front as a professional s'ldier, is held in such high, esteem by all those with whom he comes in contact. This is no doubt the secret to the success of the work ;t the University. Combined with the ordnance course and the R. O. T.

Military reparation has been accomplished and the uuitcrsity was not left in the lurch.-' ROSENBERG UNDER FIRE Louis C- HoBenherg, who resigned his position in the art department of the University of Oregon to enlist in the camouflage corps of the army last win ter, and whose early training included such duty as pealing potatoes, accord ing to a letter written to friends here soon sfter he left the campus, has at last reached France. In a letter to President Campbell he writes as follows: "Since leaving Washington I have traveled considerable, and we are at last where the war is on. We had a very fine trip across the water, with very little icasicknesa and no eicitement whatever from U-boats. We had a very enjoyable atop and rest at our first city. where we were given the opportunity to see something of the people and coun try, and all I can say is that I am very glad to be here, for more reasons than one. We later went to our headquarters and in about four days three of us were picked to go to the front, where we now are some two and a halt miles back of the front line. We are working like real working men, along with the other boys, and find our work even more inter esting than I had expected. Our work is being done on a much larger scale than I expected. I am in hopes that I will meet Walter, and continually in quire from the boys we are working with. Within Artillery Zone. 'Wo lad the interesting experience and practice of flopping when the boche were dropping some shells near where we were working yesterday. They cer tainly make a noise coming through the air. Have learned at least to know what sre incoming and what are outgoing shells. The shelling does not bother us nearly as much as the gas alarms at night when we are sound asleep, and even here I find that possible. They are dropping some big fellows near our bil lets, so guess I'll close and go out to work. We are billeted in a very inter esting old barn np in the hay loft." THEY C1T FIGHT BUT GOOD WORK IN SAVING: HOW Mi OFFICER OF Members of National League for Women's Service Can Fruit, Jellies and Jams for Boys in Service.

Red Cross und other patriotic purposes. The women hare extended their organization until praetirally every section of the county is represented by devoted volunteers who are giving their time and calling upon their neighbors to assist in a movement which has as its object the conservation of Jittle bits of food products which might otherwise be wasted. The women's service workers in Eu gene so far have canned 505 quarts of fruit and put up between SO and 100 glasss of jam and jelly, and state that their work has just begun. No reports have so far been received to iudkatp what the women in other cities and towns arc doing, but the workers in Eu gene are confident the county total, at the close of the season, will make a god showing. Much will depend how ever, upon the co-operation given by the people in the county as a whole. The fruit, sugar for preserving purposes and jars must be donated. Those who can not give these things, can assist through contributions of money, if they desire. Mrs. I L. Campbell is the state chairman of the National League for Women's Service. Mrs, A.

By FRANK J. TAYLOR United Press Staff Correspondent With the American Army in France, June 19 (By Mail.) It gets mighty chilly along toward morning in the trenches, and a fellow needs something hot to cheer him up and keep him awake. So figured Charles Sinkler, of Phila delphia, and Harry O- Underwood, of New York, who run a canteen for the Bed Cross :n a Tillage two kilometers from the lines, a place the Germans delight in shelling, even though ifs but a msss of ruins now. One of these men couldn't get into the army because he wss too old, so be gave up his law practice to come over and help the boys. The other had to do something, and this was the only job he co-.ild bind, near the front. Every night these two men mske up gallons of hot chocolate, and at midnig'.t they wend their wsy out dark roads through muddy trenches, and give the doughboys on duty hot chocolate. One point which they si-rve is where French lines join with American. Here you see Frenchmen snd Americana waiting eagerly for their chocolate, offi cers with the men, each holding his cuj. You see it if you can see in darkness, fur this is the very front, the farthest out that any workers go to help the boys. "Those fellows ought to be decorsted," said one appreciative doughboy. "You don't mind coming out here with a gun when you ran shoot. But you couldn't dodge a shell if you had to carry those big buckets of chocolate." rRKTTY STIFF PACE Kansas City. Mo.. July 13.

When the colors are passing, the spectator, if a man, should halt if walking, arise if sitting and uncover, holding the headdress opposite the left shoulder with the right hand; If bare-headed, he should salute with the right hand. A woman should stand at attention as the Flag passes by. When the Flag is waving from a stationary flagstr.ff or pole it is not saluted with the hand. In decorating, the flag should never be festooned or draped. Always hung flat. If hung with stripes horizontal, Union should be in upper left corner. If hung perpendicu larly. Union should be at the right. When the Flag is carried in parade, or when crossed with other flags, the Stars and Stripes should always be at the right. The law specifically forbids the use of and representa tion of the Flag in any manner or in any connection with merchandise for sale. The Flag should be raised at sunrise and lowered at sun set. It should not be displayed on stormy days or except when under fire of the enemy, left out overnight. Although there is no authoritative ruling which compels civilians to lower the Flag at sundown, good taste should impel them to follow the traditions of the Army and Navy in this sundown ceremonial. Primarily the Flag i raised to be SEEN, and secondly, the Flag is something to bo guarded, treasured, and so tradition holds it shall not be menaced by the darkness. To leave the Flag out at night, unattended, is proof of shiftlcss ness, or at least carelessness. On Memorial Day 'the Flag should be displayed at half mast from sunrise until noon, and at the peak from noon un til sunset. It should, on being retired never be allowed to touch the ground. When the "Star Spangled Banner" is played or sung, uncover, stand and remain standing, IN SILENCE, until it is finished. Applause at the conclusion of the "Star Spangled Ban ner" is out of place. Worn-out and useless flags should be destroyed; by burn ing. A Flag torn or frayed by the wind and weather should never again be hoisted until it has been repaired. This is a regulation of both the Army and Navy and should also be followed by all civilians. . .. men, we will bsck up the boya in France. Remember that.

That title will amine you, perhaps. Terbaps you will say I sm a fool. On a 'number of questions, I am a fool; I admit it: but not on this question. No, brother: on this Il'ra wise. Just ss there was good In the stoning of Htephen. In the burning at the stake of a thousand martyrs, ev.n in the Crucifiiion itself, there is good In this war. And the good is going to be grest because the side that reycrcscnU the Brotherhood of Man is going to win over the Minions of the Heast in the end. It is written. If I couldn't believe it, I could believe neither la a fiod nor in a hereafter. This war - .(..nntnu. end hitter Btriissle it is worse than a million Hills rolled into one; snd yet. It Is reslly but a broad and deep chasm to be bridged by human lives in the rugged but ever upward-leading pathway of civilization. This is the higher Tiew of the Truth. , Jhisk of the United fctates as It was even two years ago. What was it? It wss fat, lazy, sluggish, filled with money wranglrra sud pleasure-worshippers snd grafters. Think of the I.'nited Ktates ss it is today. What is It? It Is the greatest tiiant In the I'nivcrse, up nnd srming Itself to fight for an ideal, throw ing aff the lice of money-lovers and profiteers snd grafters, and crying out in a terrible voice its love of democracy and liberty and justice! There is good In this, wonderful good. I know men of us hnve suffered, and men of us have died, oh, many of tbem; hut they have auffeded in noble unsel fishness, and they hsve died even bet ter than they lived, though they may have lived well. I know mothers have given their sons, wives their husbands, sisters their brothers; it was hard to make these supreme sacrifices, bitter bard; but they are better mothers and wives and sisters, better women than they ever were before and they are glad, every one, that tbey had Bona and husbands and brothers to give in the cause of justice! Itlood haa alwaya been the price that humanity has psid to keep the path of civilixntion ever upward and farther and farther from wolfish bar barism. It is s rolossal furnace, this war, as well as a fham in the rosd. Its lessons of sacrifice snd unselfishness, of suffer ing for the sake of future generatlona, wilt not be forgotten in a aenre of years; they will be eternal, everlasting, im mortal. Tint which is worth while must be psid for, and the world Is now paying. What of those who die? To die In this cause is in itself a reward, as thos who have given up their lives would tell yon If they could. There is no loss but has its full compensation somewhere, sometime.
