STATE COLLEGE TO TRAIN SOLDIERS Plan to Have Uncle Sam Take Over Institution For War Preparation Ta make State College a national institution instead of a state. Uncle Sam taking over the whole estab lishment, is the proposal made to the board of State's directors who met in Harrisburg yesterday. It was accepted unanimously and enthusi astically. If this arrangement goes through men will be brought ,from southern cantonments by the hundreds, for there is accommodation for 3,000 in the State dormitories. 'This may eliminate the usual summer classes. It is the governments idea, explain ed Dr. Edwin S. Sparks, president of the college, to teach the soldiers In fifty-five classes, giving special courses in automobile driving, ma ihine repair, engineering, road building and other branches. As a lirst step toward making this epochal shift the board of directors yesterday voted to close the regular college nourses April 30, instead of in mid-June. State College is already helping out the War Department, said Dr. Sparks, giving special aid in war material manufacture and agricul tural production. Sequential classes are being taught in ordnance store- Keeping. aeroplane material inspec tion, wireless telegraphy and signal ing, and the use of trucks and trac tors. The college has furnished more than 400 undergraduates for various lines of military duty. The trustees elected the following officers: President, H. Wilton Mitchell, Pittsburgh: vice-president, J. G. White. New York: secretary, Edwin E. Sparks; treasurer, D. W. Pect, State College: executive com mittee, K. S. Bayard, Pittsburgh: M. W. Lowry, Scranton; Vance C. McCormick, Harrisburg; H. W.

After expressing his grati tude for some boxes sent to him, Fitzgerald intimates tliat the life he leads is pretty strenuous. Speak ing of the people and country, he says: "The French certainly do treat us good; they almost went wilo when the first U. S. troops landed. We did not touch here first. Eng land was our first stop and we stayed there about a week, and, be lieve me, I was certainly glad to get on land again. I did not care where it was and I did not see very much of the country. But England is a beautiful land; I never saw so many sheep, every field has some grazing. Everything is run differently in these foreign lands. Their passen ger coaches are divided into small rooms seating eight people each. There are plenty of beautiful parks, too. The girls run the street cars, drive milk wagons, tend bar in the saloons. Some class to them, too. In France it is the same way. Women do a good bit of work. You see few young men, for they were all killed off in the beginning of the war. Tou see numbers of children who have no parents. X certainly do pity them. This is what you would call a rolling country, the trees mostly pine and planted in rows. The houses are all made of stone or tile, with thatched roofs. The roads are of cobble stone and very solid." Fitzgerald has no fear of the out come of the war. "I will be back in 1920," he closes. "You must all have patience, for the U. S. troops are going to do the rest."

The food you force down won't digest properly, and you're all In—down and out for one day at least so far as being really useful to your self or anyone else is concerned.
