DINA to Volunteer Now for Service
In Home Company
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
The War Department has recently
authorized the Second North Caro-
lima infantry to recruit its ranks to
full war strength. A regiment of
infantry at full war strength has
inea-- -c9O men. Recruiting de-
tails have been sent 20 the home sta
ten Ct ea4 organization in the
regiment ard the various detachments
al ever the State have been solicit
ing recruits. The Governor of the
State issued a proclamation calling
upon the young men of the State to
enlist in the national guard. Pla-
cards have been posted nearly every
where, giving publicity to the fact
that the North Carolina national
guard needed young men to fill its
ranks. In spite Of this effort, men
| have been coming in very slowly. The
records of the recruiting office for
the Second North Carolina infantry
show that only about 23O men have
been enlisted in this organization
since it arrived in Goldsboro. Many
men have been discharged on ac-
count of dependent relatives and 9TH
e!s have been furloughed to the re-
serve on account of the expiration of
[ the Ieriod of active service. These
causes have reduced considerably the
number Of men in the regiment since
it's arrival at this point.
The regiment now needs about
1900 young men to fill its ranks to
the required number. At the rats
they have been coming it will take
about six months to get as many as
are needed. This organization is the
representative Of the eastern part
of North Carolina in the military ser.
vice of the United States. 1t is com.
posed almost exclusively Of mer
fom the eastern section of the State
although we have had men from
Western North Carolina enlist in ou,
organization. The people of East
ern North Carolina have been SLOW
to realize the situation and slow TX
respond to the call to enlist. It i!

System Pursued This Year to be Con-
tinued-Bishop Kilgo Succeeds Late
Jas. H. SOuthgate as Chairman Of
Board of Trustees
Bishop John C. Kilgo Monday was
elected chairman of the board of trus-
tees to succeed the late James H.
Southgate. The latter was chairman
of the board from 1897 until his death
in 1915.
The presidential report to the board
of trustees recommended system
of military instruction as pursued
this year. Relative to the recon-
mendation, the report said:
Two hundred and fifty students
enrolled for this voluntary work, and
with commendable seriousness and
zeal learned, through daily drills of
three hours, something of military
movements. The faculty has allowed
this work to take the place of one
three-hour course. This experiment
seems to the faculty to have been
highly satisfactory and if proper ar
rangements can be made for it, the
faculty thinks, and I think, tha- som
such system Of military instruction
and training should be continued next
year."
The college continues to outlaw
football according to the report of
President Few. He said:
During this period highly organic
ed competitive sports have had an ov-
erwhelming vogue in American col
leges and yet in the face of this, Trim
ity, as far back as 1895, abolished
football, of all intercollegiate games
the most elaborately organized anc
all-consuming in student and popular
enthusiasm and to subordinate all
other forms of inter collegiate games
to the serious aims Of undergraduate
life we have all the while pulled hare
against the stream of tendency tina
i has set So strong in the other direc
ltion.' h =
The endowment of Trinity Colleg'
amounts to $1,000, ,204.12, with NJ

GRIM GAS BATTLES FOUGHT
Quantities by Both Sides in Strug-
giles on British Front.

Andre Tudesq writing of the battles
on the British front, says there was
such an expenditure of asphyxiating
shells one day that six hours after the
last deluge of them suffocating smells
were still passed through.
Lavish expenditure of gas on both
sides form a characteristic of the fu-
rious attacks and counter-attacks
which have been delivered day and
night round these two villages. The
mask is here as precious as the
grenade or the rifle.
AS in a frightful carnival, in the
manner of Edgar Allan Poe, one could
see in the night on the slopes west of
Fresnoy entire regiments in masks,
fighting and killing each other in the
midst of black vapors, which were
rendered more fantastic by the light Of
the moon.
The hand-to-hand struggle thus took
on most singular forms. Throwing
away their arms the combatants would
fly at each other throats and try to
tear away each others masks. Few
prisoners were taken in these encOun-
tiers. and the wounded are fewer still.
Death alone receives the lions share"

They Understood.

Col. John Ward, NJ. p, is a popular
hero.
When he was sergeant and was
licking into Shape the raw recruits
for his famous navvies' battalion his
method of imparting instruction,
though not always according to the
drill book, was simple, direct and eff
ticient.
Once, for instance. he was in charge
of a squad at musketry.
"This,' he said, ''is the bayonet boss,
and this is the bayonet bar. Boss and
bar-you can easily remember that;
where you get your money and where
you spend it."
The squad grinned sheepishly. But
they understoOd-and remembered.
The trouble with scandal is that peo-
pie are all so willing to believe it.
