IIXIVERSITY OF OKKGOX, Aug. 28. A student enlisted iu the Stu dents' Army Training corps at the University of Oregon is In military service ot the United States. Because he does not receive pay, ho is classed as on inactive service hut in a nat ional emergency the prcsldont may call him at any time to active ser vice. He is called to active service each summer when he attends camp tor six weeks and receives the pay of a private. Any student so enlisted, tho in the military service of tho United States, Is technically on inactive duty, and therefore must register after he has reached draft age .and upon notice by the president. Upon stating on his questionnaire that he is already in the military service ot the United States, he will be placed automatical ly by his draft board In class V-D, as provided by the selective service reg ulations. The draft board will not call him for induction so long as he remains a member of tho students' army training corps. Subject to DiaTt In order that the college student may not even appear to enjoy special privileges, it is agreed, however, that when the day arrives on which ac cording to his order number he would have been drafted, had he not already volunteered, the fact is re ported to the president of the college, and to the commanding officer at the college, who in turn reports it to the adjutant general. This is the day of reckoning for the college man. The president of the college and the com manding officer will then report to the chairman of the committee ou education and special training of the war department, for what form of military service tho individual is in their judgment best qualified. They will recommend either tliut the stu dent should continue his studies to prepare for work In medicine, engi neering, chemistry, psychology, econ omics, etc., or that he should go at once to an officers training camp to prepare for an officers' 'Commission in tho Infantry, artillery, etc., or that he should be assigned to work In the ordnance, quartermaster or other staff corps or sent immediately to a division at one of the camps. Lieut. Col. .Hces, commander of the entire students corps, has author ity -to dispose his men In the best way suited to meet the emergencies of the military and national situation at the time. Tho presumption is that, tor the next year, the largest propor tion of the student body reaching twenty-one years will he required to supply a large part of the officers needed for the national army. It is understood that at least four or five times as many officers will bo re quired as tho total number of stu dents who will graduate from all American colleges and universities. Enlistment In tho students' army training corps, therofore, while It does not hold out any promiFo of an officer's commission, is at tho pres ent time tho plainest road leading In that direction. l'or War IHirulioii The student who shows no ability for special service in his college and military work, will bo ordered into active service as a private when his day of reckoning comes. rJnli.stment is for tho duration of the war. If however, the student fails to improve his coiloge opportunities, he may be dismissed from college by nrtlon of the college authorities and discharg ed from military service by tho mili tary authorities. He would then he subject to the operation of the draft. His enlistment may be cancelled for other sufficient causes such as sick ness, lack of funds, etc., upon recoin mendntlon of the president of the aollego and the military officer In command at the college. Opportunity will he given for the enlisted student, who so elects, to transfer from army to navy, and vice versa, and to be assigned to active service In one of tho various corps ot tho army upon recommendation of the college president and tho proper military authority. Regular uniforms, Including hats, shoes and overcoats, will be furnish ed all mombers of the Students' Army Training corps by the govern ment. Should congress lower the ase of liability to Immediate military ser vice, men of the new a?es not Hlready enlisted may find difficulty In enter ing the service otherwise than thru the draft boards. In view of this possibility, all men expecting to p-n-11st in the Students' Army Training corps would do well lo enter promptly. Gas and electric lighting company of Baltimore is training women for reading meters, Major B. E. Kolly, headquarters signal officer of tho advanced section of the American lines, in a letter to friends tells of an air raid against the Americans In which 200 German prisoners were killed by their own aviators as follows: "New arrivals keep us Jumping sideways and In addition dor prince lias' been pulling on another party. They also had a llttlo surprise fixed up for der prince. I hud a mental picture of .Medford and the noises around the M.

They messed up some of our wires with ah air raid awhile buck and I felt real bad about it 'till I saw the full re sult. They killed off a couple or liun'dred "P. G.'s" (prisoner guerre) which means IJoche on this side of the line. Honestly I never thought that a bunch of dead ones could look so good. I guess they must have taken the place for a hospital, any how they made a morgue out of it. which should entitle it to a red cross sign. "We are all very proud of the way tho country has risen to the crlsisJ and the way they are making history in sfleeding things up. It Is all count ing on this side and tho time not fir distant when the weight of this en ergy will turn the balance rapidly in the right direction. "There are a great many fine young .Medford boys over here now and there Is one message that 1 should like to give to every relative of an enlisted man In France, yes, and to every friend ot an enlisted man, and that Is to write often, and let tho letlers all be cheerful and encouraging. Don't visit your troubles on tho soldier, lie has plen ty of his own. Soldiering under any condition is not a picnic In tills war it is a serious soul-trying business that tries the metal ol the most sea soned. Thero ure plenty of young men hero who have never been away from home before; it Is inevltublc that homesickness will como to these, and when a failure of mall or dis couraging letters are added to this, comes a lowering of morale. Help them make the sacrifice worth while and do it with good cheer and en couragement. "I m sorry the old Itoguo Is so low. It don't seem like It would be much fun to wade her with tho punch she normally has, gone. I've been think ing or you many times and saying to myself after a computation of the difference in time, maybe thcy'vo got one on right now, hut it's ull off for mo this season and the ben I can hope for Is to get In on the tall end of next.
