In Flanders Fields
(By Lieut.. Col. John D. McCrae. }

(By Lieut.. Col. John D. McCrae.)
Written during the second battle
Of Ypres, April, 1915. The author,
DR.. John McCrae of Montreal,
Canada, was killed on duty in Flan-
ders, Jan. 2S, 1881
In Flandsrs fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place. and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amidst the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset
grow.
Loved and were loved, and now we
lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you from falling hands, We
throw
The torch. Be yours to hold it high!
II ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies
In Flanders fields.

Private Spencer Crawford arrived
home from Vancouver Barracks last
evening and has now entered upon
his duties as clerk at the Office of the
local draft board. He will likely be
engaged in this work until about the
first of the year when it is thought
most of the special service men will
be inducted into the regular service.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Scrivncr have
given up the hotel at Lexington and
are now living in Heppner. Mrs.
Pickett will have management of the
Lexington hotel.

THE STUDENTS ARMY
TRAINING CORPS

The man power bill has been
passed by Congress fixing the age
limits from IS TO As, both inclusive.
1t places the nation upon war
basis. The new military program, as
outlined by the Secretary of War,
calls for the increase of the Army
by more than two million men by
July l, 1919. This will probably
necessitate the mobilization of all
physically-fit registrants under 81
within ten months from this date.
With respect to students. since they
are not to be made In any sense a
deferred or favored class, this means
they will practically all be assigned
to active service In the field by June,
1919. The question, therefore, is,
How shall boys now in college or
graduated from high school proceed? :?
The following answers to questions
are based ON the latest information
from the War Department in refer
ence to the Students Army Training
Corps and are intended to make clear
the best plan for college and high
school graduates to follow:
/. What is the Students Army
Training Corps?
1t is a branch of the Army of the
United States into which college
students and high school students
having at least thirteen units may
be voluntarily inducted, and to
which soldiers having adequate
educational preparation may be de-
tailed by the military authorities.
2. Is 1t official or unofficial?
1t is officially being raised and
maintained by direction of the Pres
ident under authority conferred by
Act of Congress approved May 18th,
1917, commonly known as the Selec-
tive Service Act.
8. What standing has it with the
War Department?
1t is regularly organized corps of
the Army, and is administered by the
Committee on Education and Special
Training of the War Department,
which acts under the jurisdiction of
the Adjutant General
4. What is the objectof the s. A.
T.. c.?
The Army needs 10000 officers.
No promise is made by the Govern
ment that the successful prosecution
of a college course under military in
struction will guarantee the attain
ment of a commission in the U. s.
Army, but Is is clearly suggested that
this is the most direct way toward
such a commission. Nearly ninety
per cent of the present officers in the
National Army are said to be college
trained men.
The student-soldier will be given
military instruction under officers of
the Army and will be kept under
observation and test to determine
their qualifications as otficer-can-
didates, and technical experts such
as chemists, doctors, etc. After a
certain period the men will be
selected according to their perfor-
nance and assigned to military duty
in one of the following ways:
(2) He may be transferred to a
central officers training camp.
(b) He may be transferred to a
non-commissioned officers training
school.
(c) He may be assigned to the
school where he is enrolled for fur
ther intensive work in a specified
line for a limited specified time.
(e) He may be transferred to a
cantonment for duty with troops as
a private.

Americas Answer
(By R. w. Lillard.)

Written after the death of Lieut..
Col. McCrae, author of I'm Flanders
Fields and printed in The New
York Evening Postl
Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead.
The fight that ye so bravely led
We've taken up. And we will keep
True faith with you who lie asleep
With each cross to mark his bed,
And poppies blowing overhead,
Where once his own life blood ran
red.
So let your rest be sweet and deep
In Flanders fields.
Fear not that ye have died for
naught
The torch ye threw to US we caught.
Ten million hands will hold it high.
And Freedoms light shall never die!
We've learned the lesson that ye
taught
In Flanders fields.

THE HANDsoMEsT MAN.

Lieut.. Foster B. McLane, the
handsomest man on the police force,
as well as a friend in trouble, on
Thursday sent US waiter of the
finest tomatoes we have seen this
summer. They were grown by him
in his war garden which he planted
and worked himself before break
fast and after supper each day,
showing that the suggestion that
policemen should work war gardens,
made by us in our last issue, is a
good one.
Lieut.. McLane has worked so hard
in his garden and has eaten so
many vegetables, that he is taking a
two weeks vacation out at Mr.
David Gilliam's, where he is taking
the breast of the fried chicken for
his piece, with plenty of ham and
red gravy.

Three weeks as the length of the

campaign, it was said, will also en-
able more business men to enlist as

The date Of the campaign was an

ness redeemable next June when

Increasingly Difficult to Fill the Enc
my Drafts With Fit Men.

With the British. Armies in
France, July 2s.-Barring the worst
hard luck Imaginable for the allies,
the German armies never again will
be able to drive forward With the
punch they carried when they open
ed their series Of 1918 drives last
March. . 80 = .'' .''. u
Today the starting point of the
fifth year Of war, itseems to me to
be clearly a question of time before
a forced retreat to defensive posi-
tions will have to be carried out by
the Boche, in the hope that it will
be possible to obtain peace before
the streams Of arriving Americans
so swells the forces of the allies that
an unconditional surrender will be
forced. -.
It is an open secret here that it is
becoming increasingly difficult to fill
the German field depots. Boys of
the younger German classes cannot
be counted in the same class with
the Americans who are daily arriv-
ing in such numbers as to complete
ly nullify Germany's new crop. =.
Documentary evidence in the
hands of the British army shows
that General Ludendorff fears politi-
cal results at home from too quick
ly showing boys into battle. The
German people. who reluctantly con-
sented to the participation in battle
by these youths to gain the promis-
ed victory that was foreseen in the
hope of bringing about an early
peace are beginning to feel they
have been betrayed, Opposition is
growing to the giving up Of the re-
naming sons for cannon fodder.

clared drafts are being filled with

tieally the only fit reserve left on

To Shift Workers to

PLAN FOR WAR CRISIS
Outline of Governnehps Intention.
Announced at Luncheon for Sec
=. retary Wilson.

New York, July 31.-The federal
government will take over in every
State tomorrow the recruiting OF
common labor for the furtherance>of
the war. Labor requirements for
war industries have been apportion-
ed to the various States on a basis
of population and as men are need
ed they will be moved forward to
meet the demand wherever this may
be. The aim is to eliminate the
wasteful turnover of labor, stabilize
wages, increase the production of
essentials and give efficient support
to the man In the. } trenches, who
needs from six to ten men to work
for him in this country every day he
is in France. !
Announcement of this plan was
made at a luncheon given in New
York today for Secretary Wilson by
iGrosvenor B., Clarkson, secretary of
the Council of National Defense, to
a gathering. of newspaper publish
ers., Mr.. Wilson in an address dwelt
upon the problems facing the gov
ernment in the matter Of mobilizing
labor anG the steps taken to meet
the situation. i

project will be conducted with the

whole. 3; '.'s .s.~>, =
The country has been divided in

in charge of a superintendent of the

within his State. ?: .+>.. 3. -.
In each community there has been
formed a local community labor
board which has jurisdiction over
recruiting and distributing labor in
its locality. These boards will, if
necessary, ask employers of ,non-war
workers to give up labor to meet
the needed requirements for war
purposes.
