These young men will be under mil.

in the cantonments throughout the
country, and will be supported by the
government and subject to the call
of the government. Three officers
have been sent here by the govern

that is what it is. The commander
is Lieutenant Edward Everett and his
assistants are Lieutenants Hurd and
Minis.
Owing to the quarantine which is on
at the college on account Of the in
fluenza, there were only few per-
sons present outside Of the college
faculty, at the ceremonies incident to
the raising of the flag and the taking
of the oath by the young soldiers 20
support the government and uphold
the flag. Apart from the boys in camp
the other students have gone home
on account of the influenza, and will
remain until they are recalled by the
faculty.
Lieutenant Everett was in charge
He administered the oath and read
messages from President Wilson, the
acting secretary of war and Gen.
March who is commanding general Of

After the flag had been raised Prof
o. B. Cannon, member of the local
war board and also superintendent OF
the city schools, spoke word of
greeting to the young soldiers from
the war board and also from the city
schools. He told them what the FLAG
meant and assured them the people
were standing back of the soldiers and
that the struggle was to make the
world a good place in which to 1--we.
