Sixty-five per cent of the popula-
ton of the state is Spanish-American,
so they should be given full credit for
their share in making New Mexico
dry. They have been called indiffer-
ent. but when it comes to questions
affecting them personally they are
found to be amazingly alive. Mexican
women worked enthusiastically at the
polls. "No one need tell me the Mexi-
can women are not ready for suf-
frage," white ribboner writes.
when a liquor Mexican approached,
the women working at the polls took
him in tow, and went for him in a
most surprising way. / could not tell
what they were saying but they re-
duced him to submission in short
order"

G. p. S. May Form
ArmV instruction Unit

Army college training units may
be formed in the College of Puget
Sound this fall, according to news
received by President E. II. Todd
from p. p. Claxton, U. S. Com
missioner of Education.
Military instruction will be pro-
lvided in every institution of col
lege grade enrolling for the in
struction 100 or more students
over the age of IS.
Officers and non-commissioned
officers will be the instructors.
Necessary military equipment
will be provided by the govern
ment. Enlistment will be purely
voluntary, but all students over Is
will be encouraged to enlist.
The enlistment will constitute
the student a member of the army
of the United States, liable to
active duty at the call Of the pres
ident.
According to Mr.. ClaXton, this
policy is to develop as a great mil
itary asset the large body of young
men in the colleges, and to pre-
vent unnecessary and wasteful de-
pletion of the colleges thru in
discrimina'e volunteering. 1t en-
ables students to go to college and
serve their government at the same
time.
President Todc of the College
of Puget Sound is now planning
special war courses to be given in
all departments, and if at least
100 men regis err. the army college
training unit will be formed.

Clarence J. Wigs Joined the
U. S. marines Wednesday.
Enlistment in the navy will he
open again Friday noon. 1t has
been closed since Monday, in ac-
cordance with orders from Wash
ington, ID. G. About 70 per cent
of recent enlistments have bech in
the reserves, which offer the same
opportunities for service and pro-
motion but which hold the recruit
for the period of the war, only.
The following have been enlist
ed this week by the navy recruit
ing office in Tacoma: McLoyd c.
Gilmore, seaman second class;
Bern o. Rusher, fireman third
class; Michael Lee, seaman sec
ond class, Joseph John Williams
and Relic NJ. King, seaman, sec
ond class, to train at the Univer-
sity of Washington radio school.
Earl R. Stanley was sent to Fort
Lawton Tuesday as a medical at
tendant by the Tacoma army re-
cruiting office. The order con-
corning enlistment of recruits
who have come of age since June
5, 1917, read that none would be
accepted after 3 O'Clock Tuesday
morning in Seattle. In order that
/ Stanley might get there before
that time the Tacoma office prac-
tically remained open all night
finishing his examination and get
! ting him off.

Willard Reed likes the navy
and everything about it. He has
just been transferred to a large
German transport ship upon which
he expects TO soon sail for France,
according to a letter recently re-
ceived by his mother, Mrs. Anna
Reed, 1925 No. 31st st.
In a letter received here pre-
viously to this one he tells of his
trip thru the United States and
says that everywhere the boys were
received by cheers, with the ex-
ception of Nebraska where the ma
jority of the citizens are German
or of German descent.
We'll, ! have been transferred
again, and this time to real
boat" he writes. This time it is
the former German ship Frederick
der Crosse. She is now one of IN
Gle Sans transports is about
500 feet long and has tonnage
Of about 10000 tons.
II am feeling fine except for a
little cold that caught while |
was still on that old tub OF boat.
This one that ! am on now has
been to France about three times
and we expect to go in about two
months, but don't you worry bit
as ] will be perfectly safe with
large guns aboard.
Say, you ought to hear the way
these New Workers talk. They
say goiman' for german and
COLL for girl and when they say
anything about themselves they
'meself.'
There are about 500 men in
the crew of this boat and yet she
is mighty small compared with the
leviothan, which was formerly the
German boat Vaterland. That ship
carries about 400 sailors and
10000 soldiers and 500 officers.
