SECOND DETACHMENT
A LIKELY GROUP
Young Men Prevail Among 334 Men
Now Receiving Training at State
College--SiX Hundred in
October

Three hundred and thirty-four
young men, comprising the second
group of soldiers sent to the State
College for mechanical training, are
now receiving training in general and
automobile mechanics, carpentry,
radio and blacksmithing, equipping
for Uncle Sam in the world war. Of
this number 313 were sent by draft
boards from various parts of the state
and q were held over from the first
detachment for advanced work or in
structional duties. Ten men were re-
jected for physical reasons.
The second group of men are, on
the average, considerably younger
than the men comprising the group
which just recently completed It's
training, many 1918 draft men being
included in the personnel of the sec
ond training detachment. They are
an enthusiastic, alert, and business
like contingent of young men, accord
ing to the officers in charge, and are
taking hold of the work assigned tt
them in manner that bespeak'
great success for the detachment.
The new men are under quarantine
for three weeks, but at the close Of
that period will be given the freedom
of the city during their leisure hours
The second detachment, under gen
eral orders No. rs, received Wednes
day by the commanding officer from
the War Department, will be known
as the Omitted States Army Training
Detachment" the general order do
ing away with all the designations
such as national army" reserve
corps" national guard, etc, anc
placing all men on an equal titulai
footing as members of the United
States army.
The third detachment, starting DC
tober Is. will comprise 600 men, ac
cording to a telegram received this
week by college officials from Presi
dent e. o. Holland, who is now II
Washington, d. c. This was assured
to DR.. Holland by the War Depart
ment, and plans for taking care O
the added number of soldier-mechan
les are under way. II is rumored th'
men for the third detachment viii
come from the depot brigades OF TIL
big army camps instead of diree
from the local draft boards, as wa
the case for the first two detaeh
ments. In this case the men vii

Interesting Data Secured by Reports
From 100 Fnrmers--Spring Wheat
Shows Increased Acreage of
53 Per Cent

The tremendous increase In the
acreage in wheat this year in the vi
entity of Pullman Is proven by inter
estlng data secured by A. II. Metz,
cashier of the Pullman State bank.
who, in his efforts to collect reliable
statistics on the present crop as com
pared with that of last year, ad-
dressed letters containing informa-
ton blanks to 800 farmers. One
hundred and fifty replies were re-
ceiYed and the figures have been
carefully tabulated by Mr.. Metz. A

gain of 2177 acres.
For the first time in many years
the acreage planted to spring wheat
this year exceeds the fall wheat acre
age by a substantial margin. accord
ing TO the data furnished by the $50
farmers, this condition being due to
the poor planting conditions which
prevailed last fall. The figures com
piled by Mr.. Metz show that the
spring wheat acreage of the 150
farmers this year is 10,608, as
against $685. last year, gain of

the acreage advancing from 1920 In
1917 to 1923 this year, an increase OF
oOo d'lcS, VI eISHL per CcUt.
The pea acreage shows a decline
of 20 per cent, dropping from $50

duction of 1913 acres.

The total acreage reported by the
150 farmers was 1880, or an aver
age of 265 acres owned or farmed by
each of the farmers reporting. OF
this grand total IA per cent is In crop
this year. indicating the desire of the
farmers of this community to raise
every bushel of grain possible during
the present crisis.

FARMER MIXES WITH
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
X. II. Long, Alleged Sugar Rule Vio-
latOr, Resorts 10 Fists in Argu-
mcnt with Administrator
j. \. Emerson

Unable to convince County Food
Administrator j. n. Emerson with an
eloquent flow of language that he
had not violated the sugar regula-
tons, X. r. Long, farmer residing
southwest OF Pullman, resorted to his
fists in an argument with the county
food head last Thursday evening, but
came out second best after the ire of
the administrator had been aroused.
The administrator claimed that Mr..
Long had procured $50 pounds OF
sugar for canning purposes, or con
siderably more than his allotment,
and the farmer went to the Emer
son store to discuss the matter with
the administrator. Mr., Long took
issue with Mr.. Emerson and is al
legged to have swung a mighty right
hook to the administrator nose,
causing the blood to squirt profusely
from the member
Unwilling to be made a punching
bag along with all the other grief
that attends the duties of his office,
tho food administrator retaliated and
the farmer was soon sprawling on the
floor. In the melee Mr.. Long is al
legged to have secured a firm hold on
Mr.. Emerson finger with his teeth,
biting the member severely. 1t is
further alleged that the agitator
drew a knife from his pocket, the
weapon being taken from him by
members of the store force.
Mr.. Emerson did not press the as
sault charge in the courts, preferring
to ask an investigation of the assault
by federal officials, inasmuch as he
was serving in federal capacity as
food administrator when tho trouble
occurred Before he had taken such
steps, however. Mr.. Long made a vol
untary statement, acknowledging
that he had been largely responsible
for the starting of the trouble, and
Mr. Emerson, not desiring to add to
the already multiple trouble of the
farmer, will not press the assault
charge. The statement made by Mr..
Long is as follows:
Aug. IT, 1918.
when / went 10 the office of Mr..
J. n Emerson, food administrator, re-
garding the sugar controversy I was
greatly wrought up, end did things
that I should not have done, end !
feel that the starting of the trouble
there was my fault.

first time he has made this statement
of his purpose to sell the German
controlled industries in the United
States to exclusively American cap
ltal He also had further purpose
which he mentioned for the first time
in this informal talk. There are
many Americana who have claims
against citizens or corporations in
Germany. OF course these claims
have been held up since the beginning
Of the war. There is a suspicion that
some of them have been confiiscated
by the German government since the
United States entered the war.
Now Mr.. Palmer contemplates using
the money which he receives for the
sale Of these German properties to
liquidate the claims of American citi-
zens against citizens or corporations
In Germany. He is of the opinion
that in this way all of these claims
can be liquidated speedily, although.
of course, American creditors will be
compelled to offer satisfactory proof
OF the justice Of their claims. II this
plan be carried out then within a
few months alien property. which has
passed into Mr.. Palmer's possession.
will be used to pay American claims
against Germany. SO that when the
time of peace discussion comes that
claim will have no part in the dis
cussion. German citizens and German
corporations must in their own way
and at home among themselves liqui-
date these claims II that can be done.
At all events their property will be
lawfully used by Mr.. Palmer to pay
American claims.
