OUR BOYS VICTORIES

We have a right to glory in the
magnificent spirit OF our men at the

derstand what they are doing. not
to go into Mysteries over it. Soldier

Don't exaggerate what we are do

could be more distastful than to ex-
pose them to the disregard of their
vetran comrades by blowing about
them in the fashion said to be A
merican. The splendid fighting they
have just done needs no oratory to
advertise it. We can glory in it in
telligently. and that means that we
shall let no flag waving demagogue
gull us with poison gas for his own
profit-Chicago Tribune.

One and one-haIf million of our

with the soldiers of our Allies to
hurl back and crush the armies of

proposes, to make victory over the
toes OF humanity sure and complete.
the marshalling, equipping and pro-
visioning of more than one million
more men to join their comrades in
arms in Belgium France. Italy, and
Russia.
The answer of the American peo-
pie to the call of the secretary of
the treasury for more revenues, to
be lent to the Government for war
purposes assuredly will be that thev
will acquit themselves as worthy or
the sacrifices of our heroic men in
the righteous cause for which this
Nation is contending.
Since the United States entered
the war on April 6, 1917, and Con-
gress twelve days later by unanimous
vote passed the Liberty Bond Act,
the Treasury department has offer
cd three separate issues of Liberty
Bonds to the American people. While
the total OF bonds offered in these
three loans was $8OOOOOOOOO, the a.
mount subscribed reached the enor-
nous total of sll8l2,7788OO
\The outstanding features of the
three Liberty Loans were the PROM

Loan organizations the patriotic
support OF the campaigns by the
newspapers, banks, corporations. or

with the willingness of an aroused
people to back their Government in

Awakened patriotism has made the
people saving people, a

the Liberty Loans on the national

The individual citizen and our home

benefit. Not less incalculable is their
effect on the destiny .oi the world

/ The Students Army training corps
has been established at the Uuiver-
sity of New Mexico in accordance
with plan of the war department
The purpose of this plan is to en-
able men to become trained to act
as officers. en"ineers, doctors, che
mists, and specialists in all branches
of the army and for greater service
after the war.
The Students Army training corps
has two sections, made up as fol-
lows:
Section A: Ablc-bodied students
who have finished the eighth grade
and are between eighteen and TWEEN
ty-one.
Section B: Able bodied students
who have graduated from high SCH
ool and are between eighteen and
twenty-one.
Students are paid and receive free
equipment, room and board STU
dents in both sections A and B will
be regularly enlisted soldiers and
from the opening day OF college they
vii lbe paid $1,000 per month, which
will more than cover all charges for
room and board tuition and books.
When a mans order number is
reached by his local draft board, an
additional allowance for room and
board will be given, over and above
the $4,000 per month.
When students draft number is
reached by the board one of three
things will happen:
0) He will be ordered to remain
in college for special training as a
chemist, doctor. geologist or spe-
cialist in s4me line of service.
Or (2) He will be ordered to take
further training as a commissioned
officer. (Under the new law any man
above l8 has the opportunity to be-
come an officer)
Or (3) He can be sent to a canton
ment as a noncommissioned officer
or a private.
II can readily be seen that mans
future depends largely upon him
eself.
Opportunity will be given to trans
fer from army to navy.
The University of New Mexico is
on the war departments approved
list" of engineering colleges and spe-
cial war courses will be offered in
civil chemical. electrical, and mech
anical engineering; Also premedicaI
courses and courses in hyginene and
sanitation Many other special war
courses. will be offered and all work
will be under the general direction
of the war department.
NOTE: Students will be admitted
in special cases when under l8 years
of age, when they are graduated
from high school, or when they have
finished two years of high school or
when a student will be 18 before
June lst. 1919. However it is probable
that all students under 18 will be re-
quired to furnish their own uniforms
and nav room and board at the rate
of 5000 per month.
As all work will be harder than u.s.
ua1, we accept only those students
whose record shows them capable OF
doing the work that will be required
