American Forces Now Six Times as
Large as in Spanish-American War.
There were 1,428,650 enlisted men
and 110,865 officers in the United
States Army at the opening of 1918,
more than one and one-half times as
large as any force ever before mobil
lzed by this Nation, according to a
statement by Secretary of War Baker.
During the war with Spain the Ar
my of the United States at its maxi
mum strength aggregated 272,000
men and officers. The' Army in the
Held and in training now is practical
ly six times as "great as the maximum
under arms In the Spanish-American
War.V
About 45,000 officers were com
missioned from civil life in the two
series of training camps, nearly eight
times as many as the number of offi
cers in the Regular Army April 1,
1917.

ties throughout the state; and to know about any fight which is
being waged for the measures Oregon farmers want and against
all sorts of schemes that are detrimental to the people and agri
cultural interests of this state. '
We have, therefore, made a special' clubbing arrangement with
THE OREGON FARMER whereby any farmer or fruit
grower, who is one of our regular subscribers and who is not
now a subscriber of THE OREGON FARMER, will be en
titled to receive THE OREGON FARMER in combination
with this paper at the same rate as for this paper alone. ,
This offer applies to all those who renew or extend their sub
criptions as well as to all new subscribers, If you are interested
directly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture, do not miss this
unusual opporturity but send your order in now.
THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm paper which is
devoting itself exclusively to the farming activities and interests
of Oregon. It has a big organization gathering the news of
importance to farmers, dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and
poultry men; and it has the backbone to attack wrongful methods
and combinations and bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident that our readers will
congratulate us on our being able to make this splendid and
attractive clubbing offer.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan.
21. The University of Oregon may
have ft reserve officers training camp
established on the campus in the next
two or three months, if present plans
and expectations hold true. President
P. L. Campbell is in the East at pres
ent, and has been conferring with
Senator George Chamberlain.
A telegram received by L. H,, John
sin, comptroller of the University,
from the president states that opin
ions are very favorable for the forma
tion of a camp at the University.
Lieutenant-Colonel John Leader of
the British army who is in command
of the cadet forces, also seems to be
favorably Impressed with the pros
pects of a camp. The students are
already being prepared for commis
sioned officers under his leadership,
and classes held dally take up the dif
ferent practices of modern warfare.
President Campbell Is attending a
Joint meeting of the National Asso
ciation of State Universities in Chlca
go, and the Association of American
Universities and the American Asso
ciation, of Colleges, the purpose of
which is the offering of services of the
institutions of the United States to
the government for military training
purposes to aid in the war.
Regulations respecting the draft
ing of college students of draft age
are also being drawn up and will be
submitted to the government in
Washington as soon as completed.
Rifles have already been Issued to
all students In the cadet battalion,
and drill is progressing rapidly. It is
the intention of the commander to
have the first inspection of troops on
Tuesday, Governor Withycombe be
ing the inspecting officer.
Plans are being laid for the inspec
tion of the battalion by the officer
commanding at Camp Lewis, some
time next week. It is the desire of
the colonel to get the United States
army men interested in the work at
the University as Quickly as possible.
! so that the R. O. T. C. may be had at
once.
The second week In February the
colonel hopes to have the battalion
inspected by the commanding officer
of the western division, now. located
at San Francisco. If the military
committee is able to arrange all these
' inspections, it is the opinion of Col.
Leader that there will dp a reserve
officers training camp situated at the
University before the beginning of
the next term in April.
