STATE COLLEGE MAY
GET MORE SOLDIERS
increased Demand for Mechanically
Trained Men Expected to Bring
Added Hundreds to W. =. G..
First Contingent Due
June Is

That the quota of United States
soldiers sent to the State College for
mechanical training will ultimately
reach we'll beyond the 800 already
contracted for is indicated by recent
communications from the war depart
ment asking if provision can not be
made for a greater number of SOL
diers after the first contingent of 800
finishes its two months of training
on August Is. The lack of adequate
quarters for the housing of the SOL
diers on the campus is the only OBJ
struction that stands in the way of
training far greater number of SOL
diers, and it is thought that this diff
ficulty can be overcome by using
those of the first contingent who take
the course in carpentry, as far as pos
sible, in constructing commodious
barracks for the contingents to fol
low.
The first contingent is expected to
arrive in Pullman by June Is, when
the two-month course in mechanical
pursuits will be started.
Sixty Of the soldier students will
be given practical instruction in the
automobile trades, equipping them t.
handle the large army trucks
Twenty will be enrolled in the black.
smithing courses and 60 in carpen
try. One hundred will take the wire
less telegraphy courses and 60 will
be trained in general mechanics.
The first contingent will be housed
in the college halls until barrack
can be constructed and the soldier
will take their meals in the colleg,
dining halls, temporarily at least.

way back with a pretty French girl
sitting in the window waving at us
| stopped and went over TO have a
little 'parlez' with her, as most OF
us had learned little French by this
time. She had q lot of potted plants
in the window and | asked her for
one of them. l can't imagine what
| did it for, but l guess the main rea-
son was just to have something to
talk about. Anyway, she said, 'Oui
monsieur and gave it to me. Well,
after / had asked for the thing
was not going to back out and not
take it, OF course when | got back
TO the company they all thought it a
good joke, but ! knew how to take
the joke. I'll admit | felt rather
foolish carting ported plant around
with me. but l kept it until next day,
when I gave it to the French Red
Cross at a town further up the line.
well, a few days later We arrived
here at Winchester, where our com
pany is the permanent staff at the
American rest camp. We may be
here long time or short time, you
never can tell what will happen to
Jou in the army or when orders Will
come to move. But in the meantime
we are all scattered around the camp
on various details. Frank Fulker5h,
Henry Barclay and ! are on military
police duty. The first two are police
men and l have a good job in the
assistant provost marshals office.
Nothing like remembering your old
trade in civil life Charlie Wenham
is company tailor, and good one.
Ernest Henry is a sergeant and is in
charge of the mess houses in the
camp. Claude Baucom is still top
sergeant. Shorty Williams is also on
military police duty Gust as hard as
ever). Harold Henry is in brigade
headquarters in France c. H.
Browne is the captains dog-robber.
Guy Pratt is still with us and springs
something often about Miller's cafe.
We are a big, happy family and there
has never been bit of trouble be-
tween any of us since we left Spo-
kane. Roy Butler is a corporal in
charge of mess house under Henry.
Give my best regards to all the
X of P.'s there and tell them that l
often wish I could go to lodge when
Monday night comes around Tell
like" Clarkson that | will pay him
that Sc l owe him when l come
back You might drop me a line to
old England some day as it is not
very far and stand good chance of
getting ii if a sub don't You might
give my address to any of my friends
and tell them to write me sometime.
BY the way, | met Paddy link and
Oscar Walsh on the boat coming over.
Good luck, Clark and best re-

NATIONAL PARTY
ORGANIZER SPEAKS
hen Wilson OF Berkeley, Caliro,n,.
Explains Purposes of New M.
tional Party

Ben Wilson, organizer for the new
National party, visited pulln,o.
Wednesday and Thursday and sno,..
to a small group of people in tho
Federated church Wednesday avon
ing on the aims and doctrines of tho
new party. Mr.. Wilson, whose homo
is in Berkeley, California. is tour;n.
the United States in behalf of tha
party.
Mr. Wilson explained that at tbo
present time the chief plank in tbo
platform of the party is the sunnort
OF the President in the prosecution
OF the war to Il successful concm
sion. All else is subordinate to that
now. But if We are to profit NV tho
victory our soldiers are to win ON tbo
battle fields of Europe, some nro
vision must be made for the changod
order that is to come after the war
1t is this problem that the new partv
proposes to deal with after the war
The party was organized last o.
tober The organization came as tba
result OF the need felt by progressiyes
of all parties for some means of func-
tioning as liberals. The speaker paid
high tribute to President Wilson
calling him the greatest man who has
hnnn in 10
he is far ahead of his party and so
can not carry out the policies he
would like to because of that fact.
An appeal is made to the members
Of the old Progressive party who can
not consistently go back TO the Re-
publican party. A like appeal is
made to liberal Democrats. Prohi-
bition and woman suffrage find
places in the planks of the platform
as do many other progressive prin-
ciples
Nh Wilson stated that no general
attempt would be made this fall to
put ticket into the field. but that in
