State University Has Installed Sew

and Interest at This
Time.
BULLETINS ARE ISSUED
These Outline General Trend Of
Courses Offered by Iowa
Military French Is Ono
Topic.

Military science and tactics will be
taught by the State university OF
Iowa. The following bulletin will be
of interest:
In keeping with its earnest desire tc
render the utmost possible service to
the country and to the commonwealth
of Iowa in this critical period, the uni
versity offers a series Of courses in in
tensive study of military science an6
tactics for the second term of the sum
mer session, continuing from July 81
to August 25. The topics and hours
Of these courses are as follows:
Practical course in military drill
Daily 4:3O-5:30, Iowa field.
Theory Of drill and principles OF
tactics. Daily 3:304:3o, armory.
3-Problem section. Daily $40, ar
mory.
4-small arms firing: rifle. Daily
TIP, range.
Especial class for officers To be
arranged.
This work will be of vital interest to
those who have volunteered or have
been drafted for service in the new
y. S. army. The adjutant general OF
the army announces that after the sec
ond training camp this summer, "ofi.
GERS will be obtained by promoting of.
ficers and men already in the regular
army. national guard, and drafted
forces, thus giving to those who have
volunteered or have been drafted for
military service full opportunity to
earn promotion, to the exclusion of
those not in actual military service. -
It seems reasonable to suppose that
men who have already attained to
some degree Of military efficiency be-
fore entering the cantonments will
stand a better chance Of securing COM
missions.
These August courses are open to
all college students or high school
graduates who would otherwise be eli
gibie for admission to the university.
The fee for tuition for the term is Sc.
One dollar will be charged for ammu-
milton. Uniforms are not obligatory.
Spoken French.
For the benefit of these men who
are likely to be called to the warfront
course in spoken French. This course
will be conducted by the direct meth
3D." and will be Of very practical ma
ture. 1t will not provide foundation
for reading the language and does not
offer university credit, but it will af-
ford some basis for further study in
the written and spoken language. The
work will follow Wilkins, Coleman,
and Houses First lessons in spoken
French for men in military service"
No additional charge is made for this
instruction.

LABOR'S SHARE IN
DEFENCE DRAFTED
GOmpers Will Submit Plan to
Help Government in
Emergencies.

WASHINGTON. March II. "A definite
plan for the cooperation Of organized
labor In a policy for national defence
will bc submitted by President Gompers
Of the American Federation Of Labor at
the meeting Of the executive council of
the federation on April 20. This plan
has been outlined to the advisory COM
mission Of the Council for National De-
Tense by Mr.. Gompers, and will be taken
up by the council before the meeting Of
the executive council Of the federation.
SO far as the plan can be described at
present. It involves insuring a liquid
labor market for work on Government
supplies in time OF war or national
emergency. Members OF the advisory
commission refused to discuss the plans
beyond admitting that they were SUBJ
mtted and would be considered again.
In a talk with THE Sun correspondent
Mr.. Gompers declared that he hoped CO.
operation between the federation and
the Government would result In estab-
fishing a liquid labor market which
would make possible the use of skilled
Ia Dor on Government work where II 10
most needed. He refused to discuss the
probable means Of accomplishing this.
The best information obtainabTe now
IL that a census OF the skilled workers of
the country will be taken by the fedora
ton as the result Of action by the execu-
tive council and that this census will be
turned over to the Council for National
Defence to be used as the council thinks
best. This, OF course. would be but the
first step in the mobilization Of labor
behind war industries. but 1t Is acknowl-
edged that an agreement by labor to
permit this step to be taken will be a
tremendous advance over the previous
antagonism Of labor against prepared =
ness measures which contemplate labor's S
united cooperation.
