military course, therefore while par
alleling the regular four-year curri-
kculum which will be maintained "A
usual, will cover three years and the
two intervening summers.
One feature that is expected more
than any other to allay the unrest
among patriotic youngsters at col
leges who long to don the khaki and
take their places on the firing line
has been provided by the War De-
partment. According to recent or
der of Secretary Baker, students IS
years old, or older, taking the new
military course may enlist In the
United States Army and will be de-
tailed to Princeton, or any other col
lege adopting the system for study
and training. Such enlisted students
will be in the United States Army,
and will be subject to call by the
President of the United States but
only in case Of great national need.
The same provision is made for men
entering Princeton Naval Training
Unit course, which will be greatly ex-
tended this year.
Professor s. B. Eisenhart, one of
the leaders in the new military train
ing movements, in discussing 1t, said :
"One essential feature of the new
course is the system of strictly mill
tary training. The student will be a
soldier and will live a military life
He will not, as now, merely drill sew
eral times week and then go abou,
hiscollege life in the same old way
The expectation Is that all students
will have fitted themselves for com
missions as second lieutenants upon
the completion Of their study. After
the first year of military training
which will be obligatory upon al
freshmen, it will be optional with tht
latter whether they desire to continue
or to go into the four-year academic
course.
The commandant here is Major J
A. Pearson of the United States Cav
airy, detailed as professor of military
science and tactics. Assisting him ar,
Captain Cornelius of the Canadian
Overseas Forces and Lieutenant Pau
de Fourmestraux of the French army
both of whom were wounded in BAT
tie and have been detailed by thei
; respective governments to the worl
of instruction here.
Among the college men who ar
taking up the new military work witt
! great enthusiasm is Richard F
Cleveland, a son of Former Presiden
Cleveland, who until recently was
first lieutenant in the Reserve OFF
: GERS Training Corps of Princeton
few days ago Lieutenant Clevelan
. was promoted to be a major in com
: mand of the regiment.

Austin, Texas, May 81. The train
ing of hundreds of thousands of men
for military service in great canton
ments, camps and schools Of instruc-
ton within its rorSers places Texas

Texas has approximately 10000
men in military service. Thirty-fiyt "
thousand of these are volunteers ant
$4,000 have been drafted. OF the TO
tai approximately 10000 are in thu
army, $500 in the navy and 1,5G0 ar,
marines.
Upwards of $500 Texans have beer
commissioned in the army.
Practically 100000 Texans in the Sc

When organization is completed tn
guard may be federalized and places
