son. The terrors of war will bring out
large forces, and while Washington
state college will march in a force OF
500, Idaho will combat with force OF
200. The tectical problem is one that
will prove of great interest to towns
people as we'll as cadets and the bat
tie royal may be witnessed at Garri-
son next Saturday.
In taking up this work it is con
templated that the cadets be given
credit for drill for the time actually
OUT said Lieutenant Fooks today.
Training of this nature is deemed of
great Importance by all military au-
thorities, the idea being to get away
from the close order drills and cere-
tual field conditions. BY having the
two schools on opposite sides it is be-
lieved that the cadets of each institu
tion will derive the greatest amount
of instruction possible and that it will
be more interesting than it would be
by giving the instruction with only
one school," Lieutenant F. ]. Oster-
mann, commandant of the w. S. G. bat
talon, was here yesterday comforting
with Lieutenant Fooks concerning the
arrangements. The orders affecting
