TRAINED STUDENTS
MAY AWAIT CALL
UNDERGRADUATES IN TECHNICAL
WORK WILL HAVE OPPORTUN-
ITIES, SAYS MESSAGE

Technical students who desire tC
wait for the draft call will be given
every opportunity to serve in the ca
pacities for which they are best adapt
ed. This was the burden of tele-
gram received this morning by Presi-
dent Ernest H. Lindley of the universi-
ty from Hollis Godfrey, chairman of
the national council of defense.
The complete message, which was
read by Dr. Lindley at this mornings

inform all your technical students that
if they wait until drafted they can,
upon summons to the draft camp, take
with them letter from the president
of the university stating their special
qualifications, such letter to be filed
with the occupational census question
naire of the war department. The sec
retary of war also authorizes me to
say that every effort will be made to
use each students special training
in connection with specialized occupa-
tions in the army so as to afford tech
nica] students of draft age fully as
great an opportunity through the draft
as il they enlisted now"

MANY YOUNG MEN RUSH
TO ENLIST IN NAVY
Thousands i'm Pacific Northwest Pre-
fer the Sea to Regular Army
Service

PORTLAND-Thou of young
men in the three Pacific northwest
states, Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
are enlisting in the navy to escape
the selective service armies.
The local recruiting office of the
navy, whose territory includes large
part of the northwest, is unable to
handle the great number of men ap-
plying for enlistment. Every chair
is taken and even standing room is at
a premium in the recruiting office.
Hundreds are applying daily.
Recruiting officers are advising men
to apply for any rating in order to be
accepted. Later they can be trans
ferred to the rating most desired.
1t is expected by navy officers that
congress will enact law whereby
drafted men can be transferred to the
navy, as the navy needs a large num-
ber of men since the merchant fleet
has been placed under the control of
the navy department.

found to be infected with this plague
and were rejected ON this account To
take proper care of these men and
to protect the man power of the coun-
try against the ravages of this dis

NAVY OFFERS GOOD
JOBS FOR RIGHT MEN
SUCCESSFUL FLYING CORPS RE-
CRUITS WILL BE ENTRUSTED
WITH OWN AIRPLANES

Men having a practical knowledge OF
the workings of a gas engine who en-
list in the naval flying corps will be
sent to San Diego, Cal, for four
months course of intensive training
in the naval aerial school at that
place and will, if successful, be given
the opportunity to handle machine,
according to Yeoman Tom j. Sinnott
of Spokane, naval recruiting officer,
who was in Moscow today.
THE navy is still in rather dire
need of mechanics, landsmen, machin-
lists mates, and engineers of every de-
scription," said Yeoman Sinnott. "a
number of good ratings are open in
all of these branches and every op-
portunity for rapid promotion will be
given the able man. OF course, the
call has also gone out for apprentice
seamen. firemen, cooks and bakers.
II can't enforce too strongly on the
minds of eligible men of the better
type the opportunities which the navy
offers. We are particularly anxious
to enroll men who have had college
and university training. Prospective
volunteers wishing transportation to
Spokane may secure it by applying to
the local postmaster"
Yeoman Sinnott, who is a former
Portland newspaper man, left on the

ALL MEN MUST
DO THEIR BEST
DIR. E. II. LINDLEY GIVES UNIVER.
SITY STUDENTS SOMETHING
TO CHEW
SPEAKS ON WEALTH
HOW THE REAL THING DIFFERS
FROM THE RAW MATERIAL
UNDEVELOPED

'sThe young man who chooses to
he might serve on a higher plane is
near Stacker. This war must be won
by brains; not with bursts of emotion
alone"
This was one of the striking state
ments made this morning by President
Ernest H Lindley in an address upon
the subject, wealth and the Unused
Powers of Men" delivered before
university assembly audience this
morning.
Defining wealth as whatever adds
to the length and breadth of human
life," President Lindley went on to
strongly emphasize the intellectual, So
cial and moral aspects of his subject.
Natural Wealth
Natural products he said, "are at
best only raw material. They must
be wrought upon by the intellect of
man, must be adjusted to human needs
before they can become actual wealth.
He cited a variety of cases in which
the application of intellect to some
natural product had made possible
myriad fold increase in its value, say
ing that this augmenting made itself
evident in the block of marble changed
by the hands of a Phidias and in the
product of the farmer who mixed the
most brains with his soil"
Why the Dollar Watch2
Referring to the social characters
tics of wealth, DR.. Lindley pointed to
that teamwork which has made pos
sible -thes-dollar w atch as one OF the
great achievements OF social endeavor.
wealth is also moral as we'll as in
tellectual and social" he said. The
good name OF community has cash
value, and certain it is that every |
time a community sags to a. lower level
the fortunes of its individual members
dwindle.
When Ruskin Was Right
I'VE are now able to perceive that |
John Ruskin was right when he said |
that. the veins of wealth are not i'll
rocks, but in flesh and we know now
hat the wealth of the world disappears
and rises again whenever genera
tion crosses the stage of life.
Passing on to his consideration OF
the uses of man power, the president
urged men who are not yet of military
age to remain at their college work.
He eulogized the strength of the ma
ions present stock but strongly
stressed the need for capable future
leadership.
War Wakes Men Up
Importuning an awakening to OPP
,ortunity which may call forth obscure
.incolns and Grants to lead in future
rises, he stated that the great func-
ion of war, deadly as it is, is to wake
nen up.
"War does call forth sleeping pow
rs" he said, "and though it is a rever-
ion. it is also an awakening. The Red
cross and the Y M. G. are those or
which will see to it that
,ur own men realize the spiritual val
les of this conflict"
