light on the reiterated German as
sertions that the retreat of the Teu-
ton forces on the western front was
''prearranged and carried out accord
ing to plan and carried out without
undue haste" lis cast by A, S. Meyer,
war correspondent of The Essen ALI
gemeine Zeitung, who gives an ac-
count Of his visit to a high staff Of
ficer of General Won Hutier's army
The officer, who had not slept three
hours at stretch for days, showed
traces of excessive fatigue.

planatory statement" says Meyer
artlessly, the telephone rang and
news came that the enemy had
rushed in on the left OF the army of
Won MarWitz and that his right flank
was endangered. A sudden stream
of telephone orders directed the re-
tirement and the officers story was
cut short.

Hutier himself was hurriedly called

Surprising Contradictions

Of Berlin finds it necessary to print
in large cross column type this as
sertion from Rosner:
Further developments may be
awaited with complete calm.
( On the other hand General Won
Salzmann, writing in The Vossische
zeitung, makes hystericaI appeals to
Germans to set their teeth and to
carry on. The German public, who
SO often has been told that France
was at her last gasp, are now asked
by General Salzmann to remember
that the boundless resources of the
entente powers lie at Frances back
and Calais would not change that
fact and would not bring France to
her knees.
IF we possessed those resources, .
Salzmann exclaims, "tlIe Germans
would long ago have been victors in
Paris and all over the world.
That not being the case Salzmann
concludes his article with this state
ment:
"a peace dictated by the British
means that the Father1and viii be
wiped off the map and that its sons,
rich and poor, viii be reduced to
slavery and beggary''
An illuminating insight into Teu-
tonic mentality is provided by The
Cologne Wolks Zeitung, which, la
menting the terrible bloodshed and
destruction caused by the war, says:
Much as we detest it. as human
beings and as Christians. yet we eX-

Aug. 30, Noon-The Germans have

The whole western bank now is in
the possession Of Field Marshal

the river. being unable to get away
quickly enough.
The Germans have destroyed all
the bridges across the Somme, iTa-
cluding the railroad bridge and ths

fire of British guns.
North of Peronne the Germans are
now holding the road to Bapaume z s

North of here the advance of the
British made the enemy retire again.
British patrols are astride the road
and are moving southward.

Bapaunle seems to have captured
without much resistance by New
Zealand troops who were assisted by
pressure from the English on the
south. The town was enterd from

briefest fighting and then the Ger-

The British are now fighting to

The Germans are fighting rear

erected by the Germans at Buile-

ARMY ENGINEERS ACTIVE

Troops of the Engineers Corps. tho
seldom mentioned in the dispatches
from the front, perform duties of the
very highest importance in any cam
paign. The main duties Of the en-
gineers sis to apply engineering and
science to the emergencies of mod
ern warfare to protect and assist the
troops. When circumstances demand
they are thrown into the combat as
purely fighting units. They are
charged specifically with surveying
and reconoitering for military pur
poses; they make maps which deter
mine the plan of the campaign; they
prepare camps, open roads, lay brid-
ges across unfordable streams. han
die the railways and operate armored
trains, organize bases from which to
launch the attack, fortify points of
support, force an opening through
the enemy's obstacles, blow up bis
forts, operate search lights; they con-
struct wire entanglements. destroy
bridges, blow up depots, wreck roads,
and in general are ready to do any
thing which the non-technical troops
cannot do. In the present war the
duties of the Engineer Troops are SO
varied that man who has been
trained in civil life to "do things" Can
be so placed in the engineers that
his training will be of value to him
self and his country. Engineer
Troops were among the very first SOL
diers to 60 to France last year. Sew
eral new regiments of the United
States Engineers are now being re
cruited and organized in different
parts of the United States. The 604th
at Vancouver Barracks, and the 470th
at Camp Fremont, Cal. though Am
ericas one great Engineering Train
ing Camp is at Camp Humphreys,
Virginia, near Washington, ID. c., this
is to be the great school of instruc-
tion for engineers in all the branches
of their activities, including gas of
fense and defense, highway building,
bridge building, mining, pumping,
sapping, and variety of related sub
jeCts.
Men outside the draft age who
have not passed their 41st birthday
are urged to join the engineers. Pro-
motion will be rapid for those who
show special adaptibility and force.
All enlistments are for the duration
of the war only, unless sooner dis
charged. Application for enlistment
should be made to the nearest Army
Recruiting Station, or to nearest
Postmaster.

WAR PROBLEMS.
WILL Be MET BY O.AG|
Men viii BE Trained for Effective
Military Service-War Work
For Women.

o. A. c., Corvallis. July 10.-Spe-
cial war conditions will be met by the
Oregon Agricultural College next
school year.
All students over IS years of age
will be urged to join a military train
ing unit and thereby become men,
bers of the United States army. The
government is in need of men trained
along technical lines and consequent
ly students who enroll in the college
next fall will have an opportunity of
obtaining the training desired by I'm
Gle Sam. Those under Is will be urg-
ed to join the unit, but it will be the
policy of the government not to call
the men into active service until they
reach the age of 81.
The government is sending enlist
ed men by the hundreds to o. A. L.
because the demand in the army for
men with technical training is far
greater than even the normal out
put of technical colleges like o. A, c.,
and none of these colleges are able to
supply anything like its normal out
put. 1t will be possible for young
men to return to or start in college
with the feeling that they are doing
the bidding of their government and
are by no means slackers.
Practically all types of training for
military service most in demand will
be offered by the Oregon Agricultural
College. For any but advanced Off
GERS and aviators, the college will Of
fer not only all the types of training
given in the c1ntonments and train
ing camps, but in addition engineer
ing, commerce, mining, forestry,
pharmacy, chemical engineering, san
itation, veterinary medicine. physi-
cal education and the trades and in
dustries, as we'll as all phases of home
economics. The courses will all in
volve essential war training.
Effective military work requires
preparation. The higher and more
effective the service, the longer and
more exacting is the training. The
government isn't sending men to the
front trenches to be slaughtered. 1t
is sending men there whose resources
and training have proved that they
can take terrible toll of the enemy
and at the right moment go over the
top.
