Nd ENCAMPMENT
FOR IDAHO CADETS
WASHINGTON AND IDAHO EN-
CAMPMENTS WILL BE OMIT
TED THIS YEAR

Neither Washington State College
nor the University of Idaho will send
their military cadets to encampments
this year, according to word from
Pullman and Moscow At both instl-
tutions the cadets are doing extra
work every week and this will re-
place the annual encampments.
The knowledge of marching, ma
neuvering, attacks and defenses is
being drilled into the students with
more thoroughness than ever before
and the students are taking keener
interest in the work because of the
possibility of their being called to
the colors before the war is ended.
The training at the colleges en-
ables many of the men to work up 20
commissions much more rapidly once
they join the army. Intensive drill
ing is carried on every day and on
Saturdays half day is devoted to
military formations, squad work, etc.

UNIVERSITY
MAY YET HAVE
DRAFTED men
ENCOURAGING LETTER FROM
WASHINGTON REVIvES HOPE
FOR THIS SCHOOL
B.L. FRENCH IS WORKING
CONGRESSMANS SAYS PROSPECTS
BRIGHT FOR IDAHO UNI
VERSITY, LATER

The plan to send drafted men to
the University of Idaho to be educa-
ted along special lines for military
service has not been abandoned and
there is still hope of the scheme be-
ing carried out and this university
getting a body Of soldiers to educate
in special lines for which the school
is we'll equipped. While little has
been said, much has been done and
the plan, which was only under con-
sideration when the first news was
published has been gradually worked
out and is today in actual practice
at number of schools.
Burton L. French, congressman
from Idaho, has been working all the
time and in a recent letter to Presi-
dent Lindley, of the university, wrote
Ct am constantly assured that the
government will need the services Of
the University of Idaho, in line with
our former correspondence as the
work develops, but the matter of the
time when this will be, the depart
ment is not yet able to Indicate"
Congressman French sent de-
tailed list, showing what had been ac-
complished, and the list shows that
in four states the plan is already in
operation and that it is spreading and
is expected to extend to other states.
Already nearly 5000 drafted men are
in schools of the four states men
toned, taking the special training
required. Following is list Of the
schools and the number OF men in
stalled in each, for this special train
ing:
Carnegie Institute of Technology,
Pittsburg, 300; University of Chicago,
100; Northwestern University, Evan
stan, Illinois, 100; Rabe Auto & Trac-
tor School, Kansas City, 500; Uni
versity of CINCINNATI, 500; Lewis
Institute, Chicago, 200; Sweeney
Auto School, Kansas City, 500; Uni
versity Of Minnesota, 500; Purdue
University, Lafayette, Indiana, 500;
New York University, 100; Beadley
Polytechnic Institute, Peoria, Hi,
300; Pennsylvania State College, 189;
University of Pittsburg, 300; Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, 400.
The men are taking special train
ing in wood work, gasoline engine
and other lines of work that will fit
them for special service in the war
work. While taking this special
work they will also be trained by
competent military officers, for sold
iers and the work is now being re-
tarded it is understood, by the lack of
trained officers for this line of work.
When the officers trhining camps
finish their work and turn out many
thousands of officers who have been
intensively trained, it is believed the
work will be extended to other schools
and that the University of Idaho may
be asked to take a lot Of drafted men
and give them special training along
the lines indicated. The scarcity of
schools in the west as compared with
the eastern and middle states, makes
it certain the western schools will
have larger numbers of men than
those further east

Decker's Protest.

An advertisement appearing recent.
ly In the Wathena Times reads: "The
man who sold Decker some fresh
eggs recently will be surprised to know
that one of them hatched some hours
after Mr.. Decker bought them. BY the
sheer good luck that seems to attend
Mr.. Decker, the egg was not sold be-
fore the nativity, so Decker's store
still retains its reputation for fresh
goods. The little chick has had tender
care from Mrs. Decker. The farmer
who sold this fresh egg may have the
chick by paying for this adv, as Mr..
Decker carries only fresh goods gunr-
anteed and has not taken on side line
of poultry."-Kansas City Star.

As to Declaration of War

There is no set form for declara.
tion of war and 1t has even been oues.
toned whether a formal declaration
of any kind is necessary. An Ameri-
can writer on international war SAYS:
IAN act of hostility, unless it be done
in the urgency Of self-preservation or
by way OF reprisal, is in itself a full
declaration of intention; any sort of
previous declaration therefore Is an
empty formality unless an enemy must
be given time and opportunity to nut
himself In state of defense, and II
Is needless to say that no one asserts
such thing to be obligatory"
Formal declaration of war preceding
the beginning of hostillties was more
common in ancient times and in the
middle ages than in modern times. In
vestigation has shown that of 11S wars
between 100 and 1872 less than ten
showed declarations of war prior TO
hostilities.
