The passenger train on the White river road was wrecked four milea above Batesville abouts5 o'clock yes- terday afternoon, delaying it's arrive al here until 6 o'clock this morning. A bad rail is supposed to have been the cause. The engine, with seveial baggage and express cars turned over and that the two men on the engine were not killed seemed almost mir acle, but both saw the trouble in time to jump. Two wreckers were used to clear the track, taking all night to do it. Two special coaches of drafted men from upper counties were attach ed to the train expecting to leave here at 7:45 las night. They went down to Camp Pike this morning on
 train made up here.
 On it's return from Jacksonport about 1:3O Monday afternoon, the engine of the Rock Island passenger went off the track, injuring the en- gineer, w. R. Stephen and Fireman INV. c. Reeves. The accident occurred near the Fee-Creighton mill site, and it is thought the engine split the
 switch, causing it to turn about hah- lway over, throwing the two men out
 of the cab. While they were right
 badly shaken up and bruised, their injuries are not serious. The passen-
 gers were delayed here several hours. BUY w. s. S. <s' Associated Press Dispatch.

average in the early thirties.
Although the rules for admittance to the
corps require that woman be proficient in some
one branch of art, she will not necessarily spe-
cialize in her own line of work, but it is believed
that as painting, sculpture, photography and
wood carving are kindred arts, each student
will easily pick up from her constant work with

Then there are three indoor lectures week and
two days devoted to work in the OPEN, s'feld

The fee for the course is SAB, which includes
S25 for uniform, which is obligatory, and $18
for tuition and materials used. The uniform is
khaki, of course, and consists of three-quarter
length coat, short skirt, knickerbockers, put
tees and trench cap.
My first acquaintance with this little band
of camoutieuses was at Liberty Land" where
l found them lined up before two camoufaged
ambulances, rapidly taking notes as Lieutenant
Towle explained to them the why's and where
fores of the curious waves of color with which
these vehicles were covered. From the ambu-
lances they went on to the camoufaged gun and
tent. and in every case their trained minds i'm
mediately perceived wherein the camoufiage
might be improved, and the suggestions which
they. made were jotted down by Lieutenant
Towle for future use.
"The science is so young" he explained, chat
every original suggestion is worth considering"
After this "close up" Lieutenant Towle led
his company to the furthermost corner of the
balcony for long-distance view of the camou-
f1aged objects, and this was really illuminating,

study. The science of camouhage is as yet in it's
infancy. but it is becoming more complicated
every day. This country is way behind our
allies in this branch of the service in fact, it is
only short time since our government began
to train men for this work Indeed, the men of
the first New York Camoufage Corps have not
yet been graduated from their three months
training.
The Women's Reserve Camouhage Corps is

But, after all, it is the outdoor meetings
that furnish the real thrills to the student of
