ON HIS ANNUAL TOUR

John Calhoun jenkins, former prom
inent citizens of Brookings, who now
is practicing law at Portland, Ore, ar
rived Tuesday for his annual crop ac-
counting and is looking over his farms
in the county. He looks as we'll as
ever and says that he works just as
hard as usual, this his friends will
all understand without an explana-
ton. He reports the family all well,
with two boys in training at Camp
Lewis. Merle, the oldest, was an in
structor for the division that has been
sent across and has been kept there
to act in the same capacity to the
men now coming in. Mr.. Jenkins and
O. T. Grattan of Elkton net on Main
street and both agree that they visited
Brookings, one about as often as the
other. Mr.. Jenkins also said that the
Pacific northwest was humming with
war activities and labor was at a
premium in all lines of traffic. He ex-
poets to remain here for a week or
ten days at least.

Christmas" Is The Battle Cry Of
The Charging Infantry

(From Stars and Stripes, A. f. F.)
The spectacular retreat of the army
of the German crown prince, from the
OurcQ to the Vesle was not made until
after the enemy had spent the greater
part Of five days in a grim effort to
make his stand on the line stretching
from Fere-en-Tardenois to Ville-en-
Tardenois.
, Unlike the cross-country fight of the
week before, here was no mere con
fict with machine gun nests left in
the German wake to make slow and
costly the Allied pursuit, but a case
of picked German divisions ranged on
the heights and ordered to hold those
heights to the last against all corners.
To the proud watchers from the 9TH
er side Of the Atlantic, the most in
teresting part Of that line was the
part stretching east from Fere-en-Tar-
denois, for there the American sol
diers were most numerously engaged,
there the Yankees were pitted against
the famous Prussian Guards, the best
the Germans have.

o. T. Grattan, the well known mer-
chant of Elkton and one of the pioneer
business men of the county, was in
the city yesterday, accompanied by
Mrs. Grattan and his little grand
daughter. 1t is so seldom that Mr..
Grattan visits the city that the many
old friends here keep him busy for
most of the time shaking hands and
talking over things that happened
long ago. There was a time when he
made more frequent visits to the
county seat, but in late years his calls
have been few and far between.
Brookings is always glad tn see a
man who has taken SO much interest
in the development of the eastern
art of the county. and hopes that as
business cares grow less he will come
oftener and stay longer.

THANKS OF SOLDIERS

The soldiers of the army training
detachment at State College desire
through the columns of the Register
to express their deep appreciation OF
the support and generosity of the cit
liens of Bookings, Aurora and neigh
boring towns, as well as the farmers
of this community, at their ball game
held at Lake Campbell last Sunday.
All during their stay in Brookings
they have felt hat they were among
friends, and the very enthusiastic and
liberal patronage given them Sunday
and the splendid turnout of people
convinces them that all of the people
of this part Of the state are back of
the army to the successful end of the
war. We as a body offer you our
thanks and appreciation for the kind
ness shown us on Sunday, as well as
at all other times, and promise that
the people of our state will have moth
ing to regret by our conduct as sol
diers of the great American army.

FOR SPECIAL TRAINING

8rookings county will send five men
to State College on September 10Th,
from the ~selective draft for special
training, and three men to the State
University on the same date for the
same purpose. Volunteers will be ac-
cepted up to September 10th, after
that men will be indicted who have
the qualifications. The state is also
to furnish n%inety-four men for limited
service on September 7th, who will go
to FIT. Meade, at Sturgis, but there
seems to be no call for men fror

The State College has entered into
a contract with the national govern
ment whereby they agree to train four
more detachments of men for service
in the army. These detachments will
be e n to Brookings at regular
periods as follows: October LIST, De-
cember LIST, February LIST and April
LIST. The number to be trained at a
time is two hundred, more or less,
and will probably vary according to
the size Of the call made when these
men are indicted for this special
training. Captain Eugene Benoist, of
the war department, was in Brookings
ments with DR.. G. l.. Brown, the act
ing president. A change was made
in the courses to be taught, as carpen-
tiers and blacksmiths will not be
trained and all of the instruction will
be for radio men, auto machinists and
chauffeurs, and electricians and ma
chinists. Radio and auto work will
take at least four-fifths of the men
and the balance will be given electric
or machinists training. A late dis
patch has changed the opening date
for the first detachment from October
LIST to September 18th, and FOG men
will report. Prof. H.. B. Mathews will
remain as the head of the training
school and the same corps Of instruc-
tors in the lines named will be re-
exceptionally satisfactory to the war
department. A Mr.. Smiley, civilian in
spectOr of val educational work, was
at the college Tuesday and spoke high
ly of the courses given here. Other
inspectors have given the college the
same words of commentator, and
there seems to be an impression that
the work here outranks in many ways
instruction given at some of the other
colleges Of the country. This condi-
ton is one that gives every citizen of
the state a feeling of pride and salts
faction, and The Register certainly
is glad to have the State College
stand so high in the estimation of
the government. This is possible be-
cause we have such ar excellent corps
of instructors who are giving their
whole hearts to the work.

October 13, 1918.-Dear Folks:
This is Sunday morning and l am
sitting in our dugout writing his
letter. We are short way from the
front lines and we are under artil-
lery fire all the time.
"The big shells are whistling
through the air almost the entire
time. Most of the artillery fire is
carried on at night and it,, sure sounds
like all hell is turned loose, parlicu-
larly when the shells begin TO bust.
The Germans also shoot gas shells
at us.
German airplanes fly. over us
every day, but we all gel out of sigh
when they come around. We saw
fine air battle right over our head,
in which about dozen planes took
part. One of them was brought
down. There sure was an awful
racket when all those machine guns
started 10 work. The Germans were
only driven out of these dugonts
about month ago. They had every
thing fixed up fine here. They had
electric lights, baihtubs and good
watering places.
"They also had places fixed up
where they were raising rabbits and
veget tables, consisting of carols,
|cabbages, parsley, onions and beets.
"A company of men were lined up
for mess a short way from here and
a German plane came down ami
dropped bomb on Them, killing
about twenty of them. There are
a good many tons of junk lying
around here, such as rifles, ammu-
milton, cannon and barbed wire.
Everything is camouflaged We are
surrounded by American artillery.
That makes it bad, because The Ger
mans are always trying 10 put 4
out of business, and we might be
blown up al any time. We have mt
lost many men out of our company.
They don't seem to worry much.
