NOgaleS ARR, July 29, 1918
To the Public of Nogales, and
Col. J. H. Frier, U. S. A.
Commandant Camp Stephen
D. Little:
I embrace this method of
presenting an apology for and
explanation of an nfortunate
circumstance that took place at
the band concert at the Park
Saturday evening, in which
much to my regret, l was placed
in a very equivocal light.
Friday morning | had been
subjected to a very severe
strain in an automobile wreck !;
and while my injuries were not
serious, nor sufficient to lay me
up, yet / was feeling depressed
and worn--in fact was not my
normal self.
| had gone out in my auto
some of my family to benefit
my condition a bit by a ride in
the fresh air. We stopped to
hear the band concert, and /
parked my machine alongside
that of former Mayor Clagett,
in which sat Colonel Frier.
Seated in my machine, over
come by fatigue and drowsiness
when the band closed the eve
ning's entertainment by play
ing the national anthem-the
"Star Spangled Banner u
was so utterly oblivious to my
surroundings that | was not
aware of it. Had l realized the
situation | would have hastened
to get out from the automobile,
and standing at attention, with
barred head, | would have proud
ly taken the customary patriot
is attitude until the music ceas-
ed. But | failed to do what is
the rule and custom, wherein
am free to admit / was very
culpable-but unwittingly.
I believe in manifesting re-
Spect and honor to the national
anthem and the national flag
upon all occasions; and only
through some untoward circum-
stance such as l have recounted
would / do otherwise. My
father was a Union veteran in
the Civil War. and l have
breathed the air of patriotism
from my birth.
For my unfortunate, unwlt-
ting, neglect l was called down

C. v. j. OPENS WITH
RECORD ENROLMENT
Only Formalities Of Occasion to
Take Place at Law School
This Afternoon.

All departments Of George Wash
ington University opened today with
prospects of the largest enrolment in
the history of the institution. This
increase is due both to the large num-
Der of government war workers who
lare able to attend the later afternoon
classes, and to the establishment at
the university CT a naval unit and
unit of the Students Army Training
Corps.
The only formalities incident to the
opening of the university will take
place at $40 o'clock this afternoon at
the law school A program to take
place in the main hall of the school
in New Masonic Temple has been ar
ranged by Dean Person. DR.. William
Miller Collier, president of the uni
|versity, is expected to preside. The
speakers will include Judge Martin
A. Knapp, member of the board of
trustees of the university; Maj. Fred
advocate generals Office, formerly
ldean Of the law school of Leland
Stanford University, and later pro-
fessor of law at the University of
Chicago Law School; Dean H. c. Jones
CT West Virginia Law School, now
Cross, and formerly professor of law
lat George Washington, and Prof John
Paul Ernest of the George Washing
ton faculty.
Announcement of prizes for last
years work will be made.
Students desiring to enter the naval
or Army training units registered in
the usual way and began their studies
today. About October 1 they will be
voluntarily indicted into the military
service.
Nearly 600 students are expected to
enroll in these units. AS these stu
dents will attend principally the day
classes the day enrolment probably
will be larger than last year. The
main increase in enrolment, however,
will be in the late afternoon classes,
especially arranged for government
employees and commencing at $40 and
o'clock.
Special courses in international law,
military law and war issues have been
arranged at the law school SO that
students in that department will be
enabled to join the military units.
Prof. William c. Van Week, secretary
Iof the law school, today announced
a large enrolment both in military
and civilian classes. and it is possible
that full unit of the Students Army
Training Corps may be established in
the law school.
