TRAINING AT UNIVERSITY FOR BOYS IN ARMY
 IS YEARS AND OLDER

All high school students above IS years of age who have finished suffi- cient high school work to study prof itably in the University should, when registering for the draft, waive clas- sification and signify their desire to enlist in the army and enter the Stu dents Army Training Corps (S. A. T. e. in the University of Arizona. Such men will be inducted into the corps about October 1st. They will be soldiers subject to military training, will also receive the pay of privates during the period they are studying and will also receive free housing, sus- tenance, and tuition while attending the University. .5 In order to enter this corps they need not necessarily be high school graduates, since ability to handle Uni yersity work successfully is the only prerequisite for entrance to the corps. < The student soldiers will be kept under close observation, and at the ;end of a stated period, probably every ;three months, a decision will be reach led as to whether the interests of the Government can best be ' served. by ;sending the students to officers train ing camps, P, retaining them for fur .ther instructions, or assigning them s.to cantonments for duty as privates. ,ExcePting in the cases of students studying to become technical experts, members of the corps will not ordinar- fly remain with college units after the majority of the men of the same age outside of college have been called to cantonments. In view of this fact, it has been found necessary completely to revise the curriculum at the Univer- sity and to offer to members of the s. A. T. c. only such courses as will be of direct military value. The Univer- sity will run continually until the end of the war without any summer vaca- tion, and every effort will be made to train the students just as rapidly as possible along lines which will make them of maximum service to the coun- try in the prosecution of the war.
 The only students in the University not soldiers will be girls, and young men physically disqualified for mili- tary service, and even these will be given an opportunity to prepare them selves for some kind of war work. It is likely that the school year for these students will remain nine months long as heretofore.
 " In addition to intensive courses fo, former high school students, the Un versity will continue to train fighting mechanicians who have had gramma, school educaton, and who possess some mechanical ability.
 All members of the S. A. T. c. will
 be compelled to live on the campus

With Our Soldiers and Sailors
SAYS KAISER BILL
 WILL HAVE TO PAY

The following letter was received by Mir, Bollinger, from w. D. Wood, for mery freight conductor on the Santa Fe and now in France.
 Have been going some since I left Frisco and had a fine trip all the way over, no "Subs" showed up and I was rather disappointed and would have liked to have seen one, nit; anyway if one had shown it would have been greeted with yell. -
 We landed at good old sea town and from there hiked to camp about three miles in the rain but everything was new to us and old fashioned. The thing that looks tAe funniest of all were the wooden shoes and the one horse two wheeled carts.
 We had a former Needles boy visit ing us the lsst couple of days, he was in the big push the first five days and had some exciting experiences, but came through without scratch, was fortunate enough to pick up one of the little iron crosses and several other trinkets that the Boches carry with them. We'll anyway we have met Mr. Fritz and proved his master and it is now only aquestion of how long and that depends on everything else as it,is a much longer affair; than nnosi people think, The Tanks met anC licked his pet Prussian Guard to g stand. still and made them. like it, SC they can tell old Bill that the: Yanks eahere and can fight: like H.-----.
 Have met some very fine people since coming over here, and they sure have a sad story to tell. One lady hac four sons all captured in 1915, another lost three sons and her husband anc a prisoner herself. But I guess MT Bill can pay, after this is over, al least he should be made to pay.
 We are getting our camp looking like regular camp, now. Have { band and give a concert about twice { week, which seems to amuse the ma tives. ..
 Most every night and Sunday hay, off I take hike. A week ago last Sun day I took one that covered 21 miles not bad for an old guy.
 Must close now, write when you can
 Sincerely your friend,
 Billy.

 ARRIVED OVERSEAS

Word coming to G. w. Gibson from his son G. I. Gibson yesterday brings word to his parents of his arrival over- seas. His letter had been passed by censor and this person had removed the address, but we would be led to be- lieve that it was someplace in Eng land.
 He spoke of the beauty of the coun- try and the coolness of the weather, but said that owing to che activities of the censor, would be unable to tell him more.

my job, to, keep in touch with the captain and do- -haison--- work for him each time he established P. c. I did until they killed him. Then we sort of wandered about doing what we could. .h Es.E .g
 It was in the second rush, through a rotten swamp that I lost my cane my lucky cane. A French Jane had given it to me, and never was with out it. I had carried it on all our bat tlefields. I carried it this .time-and lost it. I can hear the lieutenant TOW. Sergeant" he said, with funny look, "wheres your cane?" And I knew what he was thinking and he knew what I was thinking.
 It couldn't have been much after six when I got my first prisoner-four of them lying limp on a pile of wire, playing 'possom. just tapped one of them on the shoulder. "Conne on, Heinie." And they came-like lambs.
 Once, when an open wheat field was so crowded with our bunch that you couldn't see the wheat, the Boche planes came after us-came IS strong, I think, and shot us up pretty badly. .......... Roping Major General
 We opened up on them with our rifles, and we brought two down. Yet they said the day of the rifle was over. I haven't any sharpshooters medal, but I joined up with a bunch that was taking pot shots at some machine gunners in the woods, and the old rifles seemed to work pretty well.
 That night there was gas in a town we took, and that meant plenty of work and some waste hours spent in the masks. ItswaS. the, next morning, Ffinay; morning, that we captufed the Imajpr general. They say that s what he was. I don't know myself.
 + say it was we who captured him, Asa .natter-of fact, when .a dozen Of us finally got down into his dugout which was deep as a we'll with several flights of steps, there were French sofdiers from three different outfits and there were three of our regi- ments represented in the dozen. That shows you how things got mixed ur in that pell-mell rush.
 He was very tall-the general and he was standing with his great cape drawn around him when we stun. bled in on him. He rose and went ur the steps and out without saying any. thing.
 As he walked along, little dough. boy sitting by the roadside was smok. ing the makin's. The big prisoner stopped dead short, reached under his cape drew out a gold cigarette case put a cigarette to his lips, bent over and took a light from the doughboy Then, with never a word, he stepped back into line and marched away. The doughboy was left sitting by the road his fingers, his mouth wide open.
 ............ A Stray German She'll
 It was that day, Friday, that we passed the German aviation field witf the hangars all burned in the wake o1 their retreat. It was that afternoon in little town ten kilometers from

where we'd started, that Stray Ger man shelf caught a group Of us stand ing in the little court. sr
 It was about o'clock in the after noon, and the officers and men of sev- eral outfits had come together to hold la hurried council. Some of us-15 I think-were badly wounded. Some of us were killed outright. Some of us were merely knocked flat. was mere ly knocked flat.
 But the major was hurt and the Icaptain-my captain, and one of the best men that ever walked-they killed him. He didn't suffer, think. He was conscious only a minute before he died. But he knew me. Goodbye, Jack," he said-just that and died, with me bending over him. He had been a wonderful friend to me.
 F We didn't have much time to think about it-those of us who weren't hurt, for there were plenty who were, and they had to be carried away and patched up. You can guess how dazed and how rushed we were,
 .... Another Helmet in Salvage
 The doctor at the first aid station thought l was wounded, and it was not until then that found there was blood splashed all over my face-the blood of my friends. Yet there was one little thing that happened that. I noticed under all stress. It sticks in my mind how. '-''' % '''- ''r.7' Up on the roof of little building facing on that court, Signal Corps private was stringing "a wire, and a pal of his was feeding him the wire from the ground below. When the , shell fell, .it kn0cked the ground man against the: wal ,shlt pat of it struck the one on the roof with such force that it knocked off the back half of his steel hat split 1t clean and knock led it off. He himself wasn't hut. He was merely dazed. l7
 Three minutes later I saw him still sitting on the roof holding the end of the broken wire in his hand. "Well," lllS Cdlcu uOWu " HIS ciuC-AiCA, guess we'd better splice this wire" And he went on with his work.
 .......... Platoon All Over France
 By this time our platoon was scat tered pretty much over France. The lieutenant was gone and I had no cap tain to work for. There were so many strays about that we decided to form platoon, and I took command of the queerest bunch of soldiers you ever saw-doughboys from several regi- ments, some French lancers who had Host their horses, and other soldiers in blue who seem to like the Tanks and like to work with them.
 We got into position, but pretty soon runner came with the news that 25 of the boys of my company had assem- bled, and that must come and take charge. I got them some food-bread and tomatoes and coffee that the Red Cross or somebody had managed to gel up that far. We set up gas guard and let the bunch drop down for little sleep-the first they had had in three whole days.

"It was late Wednesday, just before sundown, that we know we were going into an attack. The day before that was Tuesday, the 18th, wasn't it :? we had suddenly pulled up stakes, piled into trucks and started off for somewhere, we didn't know where. We were going along roads we did- mt know through countryside we'd never seen before. The boys were all singing and kidding because they thought they were going into a rest area. They wanted to do nothing in the world except sleep for about a week. Lord knows, they'd earned it. a.
 We had travelled all that night and all the next day before we ran into some Trenches, who fell on our necks. They told us there was to be 8 big ad- vance the next morning and that we were going in too. They told us it was to be an advance on a 50 kilomet- CT front all the way from Soissons to Chateau Thierry.
 We laughed at those wild prophets, but little further on we saw lot of French tanks trundling ahead as if they meant business. You should have heard the roar at the sight of them. You could hear the bunch pass ing the world along. 2"
 "Oh, Hell, there's going, to be an- other party. ....-
 Armies Fill the Road
 I don't think I can ever tell you what the roads were like that We'd nesday night. It seemed to us as if all the soldiers from all the nations in the world were moving, moving somewhere. French lancers, French of many a uniform. Jasbes and doughboys-horses snorting, dough- boys laughing-tanks, ammunition, trains, ambulances, supply trains, mules, horses, water carts, wheels, wheels, wheels, guns, guns guns-all creeping along in the mud and dark and the rain-all creeping over little, rotten, twisting country roads that climbed hills and dipped down into valleys, roads all cut up by shell fire, roads that hadn't been mended since Joan of Arc advanced along them.
 There never was such a jam since the world began-all in darkness so black you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. We could hear, we could feel the nightmare confus- ion. We couldn't see it except when a flare of lightning lighted up the whole country just for second and then went out and left the blackness black CT than ever.
 I passed a colonel, a brigade com- mander, I think fresh from hospital in Paris, trying hard to have his car weave in and out through the traffic in the hopes he could regain his out fit in time for the attack. I heard young shavetails going crazy right before me because while they were carrying orders as to the placing of P. C.'s and other eleventh hour regimen tai dispositions, their side-cars seemed to move like snails-did move like

"Jaz," Jazz" "Jasz," And

This is question which has prob
ably been asked a million times dur

of the United States has become

Every town, city and hamlet in the
country today probably boasts of a

mysteries of the Universe if William

spend a day in the New York Public
