training OF conscripted men in engi-
neering apd engine work during the
summer weeks. there is every indlca-
ton that the plans will go through.
Notice has been received by the college

rector with fun authority regarding
educational matters pertaining to draft
ed men at Delaware. This would seem
70 indicate that the plans are sure to

stood the Government will take over
a local garage, and about 600 men viii
be trained here during the next SIX
months.
