MORTAL COMBAT OF
CADETS IS STAGED
Major Acland's Proteges Engage in
Imitation Trench War-Attack
and Counter Attack

Under the direction of Major Ac-
land the cadets put on an imitation
battle Saturday morning for the
benefit of the visitors to the college.
A system Of trenches had been pre-
YiOusly dug back of the lake and they
were defended by one company and
attacked by another. The result was
the rout of the first company and the
seizure of the trenches by the attack
ing company. Soon, however, a
counter attack was launched which
relieved the second company of the
disagreeable duty of digging-in and
restored the trench to the original
holders. Captain Laird's company
defended the trench and was driven
out by Captain DeYoung's company.
A third company was held in reserve.
The trenches which have been dug
are as near like the original article
in France as can be made here.
Even the com munication trench is not
wanting. Hand grenades in the form
of clods of dirt flew thick and fast
during the attack. Casualties were
numerous and to a non military man
it appeared that there would have
been little but casualties had it been
a real fight.
4 l., g s.;4 4
townspeople as we'll as college stu
dents witnessed the dem onstration.
A number of maneuvers were gone
through on the parade grounds be-
fore the real fight took place. One
difficulty in staging a sham battle of
this sort is the extreme care neces-
sary to prevent injury to some of the
participants from bayonets,

Don't say: ITS just a cold"
1t may turn into backache,
rheumatic aches, acry joints.

Colds are due to congestion.
Congestion makes the kidneys

Colds often leave the kidneys
weak.

Then use Doan's Kidney Pills to
avert the kidney dangers
Let this Pullman resident tell you
about them.
Mrs. w. Swain, 307 w. Main ST.,
says: "A cold, which settled in my
kidneys, brought on an attack OF
kidney trouble three years ago.
When sweeping or busting, sharp
pains caught me in the small of my
back and nearly drove me frantic. ]
