Several miles of trenches, highly complicated affairs, have been dug nftj by the various units, in the aggregate, - though each unit is required to dig only a few hundred yards of trenchBfcr as. While it is held not to the pubiw lie interest to describe the trench digging operations in detail, it may be ' said that the trenches are being prek| & - v pared to meet actual warfare condiHons to be met in France. Baynoet B? practice this week continues to hold iST. an important place in the day's train'Ki\ing routine for certain units. v ' The announcement regarding the training schedule was general, and - gave few details. mil cuius i) DIVISION BOUGHT BONDS ' / (Commander of Forty-first Division Says Reports Show It | Stands Second in America. In a statement to the Forty-first division, Brigadier General Jervey ! acting commander, expressed his api preciation and commendation of the I way in which the offleers and men ' responded to the call for subscripI tlons to the second Liberty loan. This statement was officially made public , Sunday afternoon. General Jersey said comparison of the latest reports shows the division [ has climbed to second place among the divisions, both as to total .amount subscribed and the average per capita subscription, tie poiniea ?u Forty-|rst has become a million dolilar" division. I The text of the statement by General Jervey follows: The commanding general desires to express to the division his appreciation and commendation for the way in which it has responded to the call for subscriptions to 'the second Liberty loan of 1917. The subscriptions have steadily in. creased until at midnight of October 9-20 they totalled $1,066,200, an average subscription of $58.04 for each officer and man now in the division, , and making this a "million dollar division." Compared with the.latest re- , ports received, this division has now I climbed to second place among tne divisions, both as to the total amount subscribed and the average per capita subscription, thus displaying a spirit of loyalty and patriotism which has caused favorable comment throughout I the country and of which we should all be proud. Special thanks are due to the division co-ordinating officer, Major L. L. Bolles, Q. M. C., U. S. N. G.; to Capt A. B. Welch, aide do camp, his assistant; to the regimental and separate unit co-ordinating officers and to the committees appointed in each organization to aid in obtaining the j subscriptions. ! The spirit of loyalty and patriotism exhibited in the subscription to this I loan is the same kind of spirit that I will place this division in the lead as a fighting unit, and for this reason thG result is all the more gratifying to the division commander. ? ' BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR STRONG FOOTBALL TEAM The football team of Company I, 161st Infantry, la fast rounding Into shape. If all goes well, it is expected that this outfit will stage some interesting scrapping before the season is over. The regular team has not been picked yet, and it's a safe bet that every man in the company who will come out and work will be given a chance to show what he has in the way of gridiron ability. Judging from the scrimmages held the last few days, there are some promising candidates. Others in this clas may first. be mentioned Herbert, who has been labelled by some as the college football man in the training squad. Herbert played some college football before he became a soldier and besides has the weight with a lot of the "ripping and tearing stuff" mixed in. He is trying for fullback. Bradley, playing right half, seems to "have the goods" when it comes to kicking and paslng. Backed by his experience in college football he J should be able to hang around that j right half station with a spirit of "all's j well." Quigley, McCall, Moore and Hay are in flne form and give the backfleld the necessary speed. Armfield is a two-hundred-pounder and pays center like a veteran. Howard, Auld. Wilson. Heyton and Burch are fighting on pretty equal terms for guards. And between Guy and Kellert ; there is not much choice on when it comes to tackle. Both seem to have the goods. Close on their heels are Linberg and High, with Nelson, wyider, Meek and "Wiley trying for the end positions, There should be little : trouble In selecting a 'speedly pair. Hanson is making the backfleld work hard for their positions. That this lad, along with Curamings and Watkins, will get their change in due time is a sure thing, you bet Coach Willimas of the T. M. C. A. understands his job and is exercising utmost care in the selection of his men. ^ Salem, Ore.?Saturday was gala day in Salem. Company M is home again. The boys arrived at 9:15 this morning from Clackamas for a visit of 30 hours with relatives and friends, as in a few days they will be sent to Camp Greene, N. C. Portland, Ore.?George A. White, adjutant general of Oregon, is en route to Washington under oj-ders from the war department to report immediately for active service at "an Atlantic port."
