PERSHNG A @DOUGHBOY.-

"a 'doughboy,' says Stars and
Stripes, official paper for the A. E.
F., lis an American soldier, any
American soldier, infantrymen, ar
tillerymen, medical department, sig
nal corps sharps, officers and men
alike, all are called doughboys. Our
Cartoonist is one, SO is General
Pershing."
The term 'doughboys" dates
back to the Civil war when army
wit was aroused by large globular
brass buttons on infantry uniforms.
Somebody Che must have been a
sailor dubbed the buttons dough
boys" because they reminded him
of the boiled dumplings of raised
dough served in ships messes and
known to all sailors as doughboys.
Originally it referred only to an en-
listed infantryman, but the A. E. F.
applies it to all branches and all
grades of the service.

eminent officials and college heads
are planning to make every college
in the country a training school for
army officers. Every college con-
tanning an enrolment of 100 or
more male students will be includ-
ed.
DR.. Richard c. McLaurin. presi-
dent of the Massachusetts Institute

Secretary Baker to organize the
training scheme and appoint re-
gional advisers.
approximately six thousand new
officers will be needed monthly to
officer new units and replace cas-
ualties, according to official esti-
mates. 1t is believed they canndt
be obtained solely from the army
training camps and that the col
leges must be called upon to supply
great number.
Military Discipline Planned.
To make the training effective,
student candidates will be required
to live virtually under army condi-
tons. Veteran officers will act as
instructors and the war department
will furnish uniforms and rifles.
Complete details have not been
worked out.
