. 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.

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. T. when tho news be
gan to trickle In. 1 sure would liked
to have been around for the period of
the celebration. 1'vo 'been writing
my wife for eight months now that
when our boys got Into the game the
StruCftrui.;,ou i.ould have to get out
of the brewery boots and get into
some running shoes and I'm begin
ning to think I'm a prophet. 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

"Later the problem may lie solved
