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." Dancing Friday and Saturday nights at the Armory.-Adv 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.

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 man hardly expected here, indications seem nKln to point to a relatively large enroll- ment as many inquiries concerningI 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 ody. summer, and a large enrollment of one practicing attorneys who are desirous' 386 of pursuing advanced studies, is also 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." 1 Nursing offers towc tunity for patriotic ser, preparation for life and broad social usefulness.
