G. j, CADETS Drill
WITHOUT RIFLES
Two Companies of Students Prepare
for Nations Call.

Col. Roosevelt's statement that
broomsticks do not make good drill
weapons was recalled with all seri-
ouspess yesterday by cadets in train
ing at Georgetown University, who
paraded the campus without rifles,
going through all the preliminary ma
neuvers of the regular soldier.
Inasmuch as there are only twenty
government rifles for distribution
among a hundred and twenty students
who are taking the military drills,
drawing by lot for the weapons is the
custom in vogue.
Capt. Stephen Mclaughlin has been
elected captain of Company A which
has sixty-two members. Seniors,
juniors, sophomores and freshmen
are included in this unit. b Com
pany. commanded by Capt Ray Reiss,
has two less members who also hail
from all four academic classes.
Drills are held Monday. Tuesday and
Friday. under direction of Maj. Z. V.
Bookmiller Service uniforms are
used by the students.
Military drills were started at the
university this year in order to fur
nish preliminary training to scores of
studenes who plan to enter the serv-
ice before the school year is over.
Many are taking special courses, in
Guiding aviation and astronomy. in
order to be as fully qualified as pos
sible when their call comes.

Financial backing for this organiza-

given assurance that they are capable
of taking care of that necessity. The
Fort Sheridan Officers Training Camp
raised A,790,OOO for the liberty loan,
three times more than any other camp
in the United States. 1t is proposed
to raise fund of between $50, ,OCO and
81, 10000 to be invested in liberty loan
bonds, and to be at the disposal of the
board of directors. A fee of s. will be
charged for annual membership, and

agreed. If necessary, to underwrite the
raising of $4,000 each for this pur-

While this idea is strictly the pro-

the outgrowth of the consideration Of
the officer for the enlisted man, it
may be adopted in every training
camp throughout the country, where
men are banding themselves together
