MODERN MILITARY CAMP

BEREA, KY, May 14.-Berea college.
with its 1900 students from the noun
tains of the Southern states has been
transformed into miniature military
training camp. A number Of the stu
dents have already enlisted and prac-
tically all of the others are now drill
irg on the campus. Each OF the five
departments of the institution, includ-
ing the college, normal, academy, voca-
tional and foundation has its own COM
Iany.
President William Goodell Frost, in
referring to Berea's relations to the
country's preparation for war, said:
."The students OF Berea College, COM

gionssof the South, represent the best

and are ready to throw down their
arms and make their way to our infan-
try, glad to be prisoners.
"The last trench proves to be the
worst for just as we are crossing a
large hole our bus stops. Two or
three Huns, seeing our difficulty,
crawl out of hole like rabbits, and
are brave enough to creep upon the

How 1t Feels Inside a "Tank "
Charging The German Trenches

LONDON, Bay 1.-THE first account
of fighting as viewed from the inside of
a British tank" is contained in let
ter, just released by the censor, from
Sergeant F. E. Divylll, Canadian, who
has been attached to one OF the tank"
companies since the big cars were
first sent to the French front. He
says:
"The order to advance is given.
Steadily the long, powerful shapes
move forward in the gray mists of the
dawn. AS the weird-looking forms
travel over the front trench the troops
therein rub their eyes in wonder at
the strange cube-impressionist coat of
many colors which the tanks are
wearing. Inside the tanks are the
keen-eyed fighting men, strangely garb-
ed, as becomes their strange craft,
while around them is complicated
mass of machinery.
Now we are passing over she'll
holes, tree stumps and many other tri-
fes, which fill the ground of No Mans
Land The. deck of the tank rolls
and pitches like torpedo boat in a
storm. The crew hold on to anything
within reach to steady ourselves while
we rush down a large shell-hole. But
we come safely through without sea
sickness.
Suddenly the gunnery officer gives
the order: TO acLion.' His voice is
only just heard above the noise of the
whirling machinery. A few sighting
shots, and we have found the range
We succeed in putting out two machini
gun emplacements, the guns of which
have been worrying our infantry fol-
some time. And now the action begins
/ il, earnest. Hun bullets are rebound
ing from our tough sides like hail from
glass roof, while inside the tanks
the whole crew are a. various guns
which break forth in devastating fire
under which nothing can live.
"And now we are on the parapet o
the first Hun trench, just on the out
skirts of the wood which is our OBJ
jective, and as we go pumping on Il
the other side we land with a terrific
bump. A can Of petro has slipped from
its pigeon hole and come clatterinl
down on to the armored deck with it
stopper shaken out, and the dangerou
spirit running over the floor. However
we enfiiaded that trench, followed u
the retreating Huns for minute o
two, cleared out the nearest dugout
and went on our way to the mex
trench.
by this time the fumes from thu
hundreds of rounds which we hal
fired with the heat from the engines
ard the waste petrol and oil, hav'
made the air quite oppressive and I'M
comfortable to breathe. Now we are
nearing the next enemy trench, ant
we hear the deep report Of bursting
bombs above the pattering of the storm
of bullets, striking our armor.
