PHILIPPINES HELP U. S.
TO WIN WAR - CANTERA
TROOPS TO BE SENT HRE SOON
TO RECEIVE FINAL
INSTRUCTION
Natives of the Phillippine islands
are doing their part in the war, ac-I
cording to Prof. F. de la Cantera, of
the University of the Phillippines, who
left Ann Arbor last night after a two-
day visit at the University.
Professor de la Cantera, who is
making a tour of American universi-
'ties to get new ideas on educationalI
methods, says that the Filipino are
heartily in sympathy with our prose-
cution of the war.
U. S. TIkes Part of Weak Nations
"We feel that the United States went
into this war to take the part of the
small and -weak countries of thet
world," he said, "and being a small
country we feel that America is fight-
ing to protect us as well as the others."
According to Professor de la Can-
tera, 30,000 Filipinos, comprising the
Phillippine National guard, are in
training in various army camps in
the islands, and will be sent to this
country within a few months to re-
ceive their final instruction.
Students Take Drill
The 3,000 students of the Un'ver-
sity of the Phillipines are all taking
military drill similar to that which
is being given here, and the women of
the university have formed a Red
Cross unit which has become profici-
ent in marching as well.
In discussing the university's Red
Cross activities, Professor de la Can-
tera told of the work done by Dean
C. G. Wrentmore, '93, and Mrs. Wrent-
more. Dean Wrentmore, who was
formerly a member of the University
factilty, is now deai of the engineer-
ing college of the Phillippine institu-
tion. Mrs. Wrentmore raised $20,-
000 for the Red Cross in one week dur-
ing the recent campaign for funds.
Graduate of Cornell
Professor de la Cantera graduated
from Cornell university in 1915 and
after practicing engineering in the
states one year, he returned to the
Phillippines to take up his work as
professor of engineering at the uni-
versity there He was sent to this
country last March to inspect the
prominent engineering colleges and
their methods of instruction, and will
visit Cornell, Columbia, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, and Leland
Stanford university before going back
to Manila in June.
While here, Professor de la Cantera
witnessed a drill of the R. 0. T. C. on
Ferry field and was especially inter-
ested in the grenade-throwing classes.
"You have a wonderful university
here," he said before leaving, "and
your faculty have been so hospitable
that it did not seem that my home was
thousands of miles away."
NEED 100 ENGINEERS A) LIT
STUDENTS FOR SUMMER WORK
Engineers and literary students are
included in a request for 100 men to
work during the summer months with
the IZtern Electric company at
Hawthor:, Ill.
The company, . according to Prof.
John C. Parker, of the engineering]
college, to whom the request was
made, needs men having knowledge of
business administration for positions
in the clerical division. Mechanical
engineers are wanted for work in the
company's shops, where telephones
and other electrical apparatus are be-
ing assembled, and the technical divi-
sion of the company offers a promising
field for electrical engineering stud-
ents. . .
"It is national service;" said Pro-
fessor Parker yesterday in comment-
ing on the work being done by the
company. "The Western Electric
company is engaged in manufacturing
wireless equipment for our merchant
and war ships and is making signal
apparatus for the army and navy. It
is also helping many of the newer war
industries. Students accepting this
offer will be performing a service to
the country."

DIRECTION OF SELL IS
DETERMINED BY WHISTLE
FIRMG LIGHTS UP SKY LIKE
LIGHTNING FLASHES SAYS
SMITH, EX-'19E
That a soldier soon gets used to
telling where a shell will go because
of the way it whistles, is' the state-
ment of H. D. Smith, ex-'19E, in a
letter written to S. P. Tobias, '19t.
,"You soon get used to the shells,"
says Smith, "and unless there is a pre-
mature explosion you are as safe as
in your own back yard, and just let
them shoot oyer your head.
"At night the firing is very pretty,
as it lights the sky up-like lightning.
I also like to see them try to shoot
airplanes down. It is very seldom
that they get one, as I have seen them
shoot at hundreds, and only once did
one fall."
Has Charge of Switchlboard
Smith is in charge of a switch-
board, and with two others occupies
a dug-out near the front line trench-
es. The dug-outs are much more com-
fortable than he had imagined them
to be, he says, being like rooms under
the ground, covered over with logs
and stones very carefully camouflaged.
They never leave the dug-out, and at
meal time, one of them goes back
to the main line and brings something
out to the other two.
"I could gather enough souvenirs in
a few minutes to supply all the folks
back home," continues the letter.
"There are hundreds of them, as both
the French and the Germans have
been over this ground."
likterested in IL . 01T C
Smith was .much interested in the
men now in training in the Univer-
sity, and asked for news of them.
He also asked that a Daily be sent to/
the boys once in a while, as they were
all anxious to hear what was going on
around the campus.
"I am not allowed to tell you where
we are," he concluded, "but you chn
guess by watching the newspapers."
The letter head tells no information
as to the whereabouts of the army. It
merely says that the writer is on "ac-
tive service with the American exped-
itionary force," and in. a corner of the
letter-head appears the Y. M. C. A.
stamp.
TRAINED MEN ARE
ESSENTIAL IN WAR
For nearly a year there has been
much public discussion of the proper
function of colleges and of the duty of
college students in the present em-
erge cy. Last July President Wilson
said: N
"It would seriously impair America's
prospects of success in this war if the
supply of highly trained men were
unnecessarily diminished. There will
be need for a larger.number of persons
expert in the various fields of applied
science than ever before * * * I there-
fore have no hesitation in urging col-
leges and technical schools tp endeav-
or to maintain their courses as far as
possible on the usual basis *** Those
who fall below the age of selective
conscription and who do not enlist
may feel that by pursuing their cours-
es with earnestness and diligence they
also are preparing themselves for
valuable services to the nation."
- The vital contribution of the colleges
is now formally recognized in an an-
nouncement just issued by the secre-
tary of war. As a military measure
the colleges of the country are by this
announcement officially designated as
training centers for the United States
army. The announcement follows:
"In order to provide military in-
struction for the college students of
the country during the present emer-
gency a comprehensive plan will be
put in effect by the war department,
beginning with the next college year,
in September, 1918. The details re-1
main to be worked out, but in general
the plan will be as follows:
Military instruction under officers
and non-commissioned officers of the
army will be provided in every insti-
tution of college grade, which enrolls
for the instruction 100 or more able-
bodied students over the age of 18.
The necessary military equipment
will, so far as possible, be provided by
the government. There will be creat-
ed a military training unit in each

the largest in the country. The large
eastern schools seem to be affected
by the war even more seriously than
the local institution, and hardly ex-
pect more than a minimum attendance
as a result.
Pens Although a normal attendance is

the summer session are being re-
e d ceived daily. The usual courses will
be offered, and students are being
urged to spend the summer in attend-
ance. Many have already signifiedI
their intentions of remaining for the

expected.
institution. Enlistment will be pure-
ly voluntary but all students over the
age of 18 will be encouraged to en-]
list. The enlistment will constitute
the student a member of the army of
the United States, liable to active duty
at the call of the President. It will,
however, be the policy of the govern-
ment not to call the members of the
training units to active duty until
they have reached the age of 21, un-
less urgent military necessity compels
an earlier call. Students under 18
and therefore not legally eligible for
enlistment, will be encouraged to en-
roll in the training units. Provisions
will be made for co-ordinating the
reserve officers' training corps sys-
tem, which existstingabout one-third
of the collegiate institutions with this
broader plan.
This new policy aims to accomplish
a two-fold object: First to develop
as a great military asset the large
body of young men in the colleges; and
second, to prevent unnecessary and
wasteful depletion of the colleges
through indiscrimate volunteering by
offering to the students a definite and
immediate military status.
Later announcement will be made of
the detail' of the new system. In the
meantime, presidents of collegiate in-
stitutions are requested to call this
matter to the attention Rf all, their.
students. . Those who do not graduate
this spring should be urged to contin-
ue their education and take advantage
of this new opportunity to serve the
Nation."

FARES ON BASIS OF WEIGHT
Washington, May 14.-Patrons of an
airplane passenger and mail service to
be established in the Caribbean sea
after the war will be required to pay
fare on a basis of weight.
The project, which is said to have,
the sanction of the British govern-
ment and the backing of London capi-
talists, provides for the transportation
of passengers, mail and light freight
between Key West, Fla. and the is-
land of Tinidad, off the northeast
coast of South America.
Intermediate landing depots would,
be established at Barbados, St. Kitts,
Porto Rico,-Jamaica and Cuba. Hydro-
airplanes would be 'used for the trip
which, it is estimated, would take five
days..
