Young men between the ages of 21 and 40 who want 'to see active service in France without delay, now are tak ing special training in the ordnance school established by the war depart ment at the University of Oregon. Tho university school already has turned out two classes of ordnance men and now is giving the course of special training to the third class. A fourth class will be organized on Mareh 11 and applications in largo numbers1 '.already are being received by Lioutonant O. C. Jeremiah in charge of tho work. This course consists of six weeks of intensive training in the duties that men in the ordnance de partment of tho army will have to perform, when they get to France Among the subjects of study are scien tific stores handling methods, ordnance accountability, administration of field ordnance depots, army organization military law, military correspondence principles of accounting and conversa tional and rmilitary French. Competent instructors have been assigned to han dlo each of these subjects. Men with college training, or men who have had tho equivalent in actual business experience are best qualified for admission to tho ordnance depart ment Whilo the men completing the course go into service as privates, the oppor tunity for early advancement has made the work attractive to the students. Instructors arc required to inform the war department regarding the work done by eah student dnriner the course so that those men who display "tho proper caliber for a non-commissioned grade" may be segregated and sent into the provern.mont arsenals for spe cial training. The entire course is under military supervision. Tho men are enlisted be fore thev are admitted. They are al lowed the regular pay of privates in the army of $30 per month, with 30 cents per day in addition, but are re quired to pay their own expenses while at Eugene. Every effort is made to minimize the expense of the course. In connection with tho studies the men aro given one hour of military training every day, consisting of set ting up exercises and infantry, squad and platoon movements. In tho lust week of the course the classes go to Portland to make person al inspection of some of the large man ufact.urini? plants there to learn how sunnliies aro received, handled and ms trihuted. This knowledge is of immense practical value to the mon after they get into the army. Men of draft age are eligiwe for ad mission, vvnen a man ot arart age is ai'icatited this .niamie, resilience, serial number and other particulars are sent to the chief of ordnance at Washing ton, D. C. Upon receipt of competent orders from .the chief of ordnance the local draft board then inducts the man into service and orders him to report to the ordnance training S'hool at Eu gene. It is possible for drafted men to enter the ordnanco course even after they have been called before 'Pioir board for physical examination, but it is not possible to enter after the man has been ordered to a cantonment. Men past the draft age aro ablo to enter without this formality. Candidates must undergo physical examination but the requirements are not as severe as in the national army. In view of the fact that the work of the ordnance department is behind the Vines such minor defects as under weight, overweight, flat feet, missing finger or toe, are waived, providing tho men are otherwise sound. The work of the ordnance depart ment, next to the units engaged in ac tual fighting, is one of the most im portant iu actual service. Tho govern ment now is engaged in building ord nance donors, costing $100,000,000 in France, aud requires a. largo number of trained and skilled men to operate them. The University of Oregon, to gether with eleven other universities has been designated to train the men. The work of the men-in active service consists of buying, handling and ac counting for tho munitions and mili tary equipment of the army. These men must be thoroughly trained and must bo 100 per cent efficient for the reasou that thousands of lives depend upon their having the guns and ammu nition nt the ri'ht place at the right time.
