TWO YEARS OF
A AT M. U.
Regular Army Officers in Charge
of University Military
Training.

Columbia, Mo-, July 12.-As
a part of its bit, the University
of Missouri will turn out men
better prepared to take up arms
for their country. Beginning
with the regular 1918 session,
which opens September II, two
years of military training will
be required of all able-bodied
men students. For the last sew
eral years one year of "war" has
been required. The change in
requirement will not affect those
who entered the University in
September, 1916, or earlier.
"War" at the University con-
sists of drill three times a week,
target practice, illustrated lee
lures, sham battles and the like.
Regular army officers are in
charge of the work, and the u
University corps is organized with
student-oficers who have shown
special ability.
President A. Ross Hill has re-
ceived a few protests from par
ents of prospective students a.
gainst turning the University
into a war college" President
Hill replies that a young man
had better be prepared when the
call comes than to be drafted
entirely unprepared, The man
who has had training such as
the University gives, says Doc
tor Hill, is in line for a commits
sion which will enable him to
give greater service to his coun-
try and to place himself in a
less dangerous position.

A New Kind of Battle.

Aside from the TACT that 1t
was the first American battle
of the war, the engagement be-
tween Admiral Gleave's high
seas convoy and the U-boats will
have another title to a secure
place in history. It was the first
battle the world has ever seen
between a fleet of submarines
and another fleet. The U-boats
have been used as auxiliaries in
battle, though not often; but in
this case, for the first time, they
went forth as a squadron to at
tack an enemy in open fight, If
years spent in s%laughtering the
~defenseless, in blowing up mer-
chant vessels and hospital ships,
and Smelling lifeboats has not
demOraiized the officers who
command these vessels, they
must sometimes have yearned
for a respite from their horrible
trade; must have longed to go
out and fight other men man.
fashion. Since they have never
had the opportunity, no doubt
they have INDUCED in dreams of
what they could accomplish,
have longed to show what they
could do, have been full of con-
fdence and flush of predictions.
They had never fought, 50 their
dreams could not be disaproved,
and doubtless they believed in
them themselves.
Then how exultant must they
have been when the word came
to them to stop for a time their
massacres, to return to port,
and there make ready to set
forth on a real adventure, an at
tack on an enemy squadron! 1t
was not, even then, a fair match,
for they could strike in the dark
against large targets which
would have difficulty in getting
their range; but at least il
+. would be a fight. Then came the
, attack, and the awakening from
: the dream. They fought their
: first, perhaps their last, battle
they hit nothing, they founc
themselves the target of a quick
and accurate fire, their owr
grew scattered and feeble, anC
at last they turned tail and fled

BUCK HUNT A FAILURE.

With the open season for hunting
deer, which commenced Sunday last,
B. B. Brown and Julian Gibson were
prompted to go out and see If they
couldn't get buck or two, so on
Monday, with guns and provisions
enough to last two or three days,
they started down across the Indian
reservation by auto to a place where
they were told there were lots of
deer. The close of the first day
found them about thirty miles from
home, and while they were preparing
to camp for the night they discovered
that the lubricating apparatus on
the machine had got out of Whack
somewhere along the road and all
their oil had gone to waste, and
furthermore, that the auto had run
just about as far as it proposed to
without more oil. The hunting
grounds were only few miles fur
ther on, but 1t was no longer a
Qu0oLlOll VI SettIuS LuoT6 DuC one OF
getting back, and the thought of
walking thirty miles gave them
pain. However, they camped there
that night and the following morn
ing, after a night Of little sleep
and much worriment, they thought
of can Of 'crisco" which they had
brought along, intending to use it
in frying their wenison sticks, and
indeed it proved happy thought, for
they tried it on the machine and 1t
answered the purpose very we'll
what there was of it. They accord
ingly got home as quickly as they
could and their hunt was necessarily
failure, for they didn't even get
chance to see buck-nor anything
nearer to 1t than possibly a buck"
