Trinity College. n c.. June 3o.---As
the result of a visit OF President Few
to Washington and other points, Of
fetal recognition OF Trinity college
unit in the reserve officers training
Few, while in Washington, consulted
with the proper authorities concern
ing the best methods to continue mill
itary instruction which was establish
ed at Trinity college on the outbreak
of the war. He succeeded in making
satisfactory arrangements.
An army officer has been designated
and detailed as professor OF military
science and tactics at Trinity. and the
college is assured of d supply of Rus
sian rifles at once and other military
equipment viii, so far as possible. be
provided by the federal government.
This gives Trinity all the privileges
of the reserve officers training corps

many American colleges.

lacked equipment and official recog-
milton because the college did not have
an American army off1cer detailed for
duty here.
For the next college year Trinity
authorities are glad to have its re-
Iations with the war department thus
early definitely fixed without having
10 wait for the development of Secre-
tary Bakers new plan. Under this
plan military instruction will be pro-
vided in every institution of college
grade enrolling for instruction 100 or
more able bodied students over eigh-
teen years Of age. BY this plan there
will he created a training unit in each
institution While enlistment will be
purely voluntary at Trinity college
under the new plan, all students over
eighteen years will be encouraged TO
enlist. and proper credits will be pro-
vided for the military work. The en-
listment will constitute student
member of tho United States army.
Students under eighteen. and there
fore, not legally eligible for enlist
ment, will also be encouraged to en-
roll in the new training units
AS announced by Secretary Baker,
this new policy aims to accomplish a
two-fold object: To develop as a great
military unit the large body of young
men in colleges, and to prevent I'M
necessary and wasteful depletion of
colleges through indiscriminate vol
unterinE, by differing to students a
definite and immediate military status.

OF 1,sss.o0o bushels and an extensive
survey Just completed over the whole

The greater part Of this loss can
be prevented and It is patriotic duty
at this time to do H. Furthermore

In addition 10 the wheat loss due
