The war department has approved
the execution Of Private Frank Cadue,
an American soldier, for attacking and
numbering a 7-year-old girl In France.
Cadue was hanged after Sentence by
a court martial. The promptness
with which the order of the court
was sustained is proof that the United
States government insists that full
penalties be applied where they are
deserved, as in the case Of Cadue, and
that there shall be no compromising
with ourages against womanhood,
which is a favorite pastime Of the

NEARLY 400 OF LAST YEARS
O. A. C. STUDENTS IN ARMY

"Of about four thousand students
who registered in the Oregon Agri-
cultural College last year, nearly
four hundred have accepted posi-
tons in the army. Many other cadets
are now in training for commission
which will be given them as soon az
they are qualified says Prof. ]. B..
Horner Of the O. A G. faculty here
Saturday.
This course is in keeping with the
policy Of the wal department which
recently issued a statement through
Major General Franklin Bell hat ca
diets in land grant colleges can best
serve their country by remaining un-
der military training until their SER
vices are called for.
THE standing of the students has
been such hat the Oregon Agricul-
tural College has recently recognized
by the U. s.. war department as one
of the fifteen distinguished institu-
lions among the Universities and col
leges of the country offering military
training. Also by, a recent order of
the government all cadets will re-
ceiye military uniforms from the L.
S. government. and an seniors and
juniors who join the r. o. T. c., will
be given an allowance for subsistence
amounting approximately to 500 a
year.

/ line. Therefore the oregon Agricul-
tural college seeks especially to come
IN touch with young men and wo-
men who desire their valor and
their lives to count for most in the
present crisis. which promises to be
long-continued.
Fol- his reason members of the
faculty are devoting their vacation to
a careful canvass Of the state. Hence
any resistance that will result in in
f1uencing young men and women to
prepare themselves more thoroughly
at this time for service to their coun-
try will be appreciated by n Ore
