V' Hundred New Men Tills
Week
Two hundred and sixty-two of the
j v soldiers comprising the second
SUte College vocational detachment
|ft : Tuesday on the second lap of
,_ e jr journey toward Berlin. Of this
number 247 were assigned to Fort
Worden, where, it is rumored, they
rill become members of the heavy
field artillery, with good prospects
fur seeing overseas duty in the near
future. Fifteen were assigned to the
radio training school at the Unl
rerslty of Nebraska, Lincoln, N'ehr..
there they will receive the finishing
touches necessary to make them
first class radio operators.
Despite the prevalence of the
Nu" bug, hundreds of newly made
friends gathered at the N. P. depot to
lid the men Godspeed, and the ex-1
ireme hilarity of the men proved
their happiness at being one step
nearer to actual, participation in the
great war. Bach of the outgoing sol
diers was provided with a box lunch
tjjr the ladies of the Pullman Red
Cross, while luscious Palouse apples
were also distributed among the
soldiers.
I "The men of the Second Detach
ment, being younger than those of
the First, were much bettor stu
dents," stated Dean Carpenter,, in
charge of the vocational training
course, Monday. "There are but
two men leaving Pullman from this
Detachment listed as un assigned. In
the First Detachment there were 10
failures In radio alone. Yes, these
men of the Second Detachment are to
be congratulated. They deserve the
good assignment they will probably
be given."
Of the 247 men, there were 44
auto mechanics, 15 truck drivers. 15
blacksmiths, 16 carpenters, 10 cler
ical men, 56 general mechanics, 71
radio operators and two unassigned.
The 15 men going to Lincoln, Nebr.,

ANOTHER CHAPTER IN
"BOLOGNA'S" TROUBLES
ARe<l Celestial Is Taken to Colfax for
examination for Insanity
Thursday
Gong Lee, bettor known as '"Bo
logna," Pullman's pioneer Chinaman,
was taken to Colfax Thursday morn
ing by Chief of Police A. R. Boyd and
Deputy Sheriff Baker of Colfax to be
examined for insanity. At intervals
during the past four years, Gong
Lee, who is thought to be over 80
years of age, has suffered from men
tal illusions, imagining that some
body was intent on doing him bodily
harm. For several days past he has
created a commotion in his shack
nights, screaming at the top of his
voice and calling for help.
The aged Celestial is almost total
ly blind, the result of the jealousy of
a French cook at Rosalia in the early
days of Whitman county's history,
when the Frenchman became an
gered at the Chinaman, who had
been given his position as cook, and
threw a pan of hot grease In the Ce
lestial's -face. Soon afterward he
came to Pullman and has made his
home here for over 30 years, gaining
many friends. For the past three
veers be has been a county charge,
subsisting In apparent plenty on the
$10 per month given him by the
county. The city of Pullman con
structed a shack near the 0.-W. R. &
N. depot for the old man.
During his long residence in Pull
man "Bologna" has been made the
victim of many unscrupulous per
sons, and claims to have lost hun
dreds of dollars to those who have
taken advantage of his peculiarities.
Six years ago he was sued for 150,
--000 by a Spokane woman, who al
leged breach of promise, but the suit
was dropped when It was discovered
I that "Bologna's" alleged wealth was
a myth.

The Fourth Liberty Loan is the first item on the program
of national war finance since the announcement of our inten
tion to put five million men in France and finish the war
next year. On our response to its call for our dollars our
friends and enemies will judge of our sincerity and earnestness
in making that pledge.
The nation'B resources are ample. The success of the
Fourth Liberty Loan depends on our converting a share of
those resources into Fourth Liberty Bonds. Nothing more.
The loan should be subscribed the first day and oversub
scribed the second day.
Buy Liberty Bonds. Don't be a Turtle.
PROFESSOR ISAACS
TO DO WAR WORK
Stale College Man Named Assistant
Supervisor for S. A. T. ('.
Will Maintain Headquarters
at Helena, Mont.
Charles A. Isaacs, professor of
mathematics and general secretary
for the State College of Washington,
has been granted leave of absence for
the duration of he war to accept an
appointment as one of the four as
sistant supervisors for the students
army training corps in District No.
12, comprising the states of Wash
ington, Oregon. Montana and Idaho.
Prof. Isaacs is signed to the super
vision of the work in mathematics,
physics and engineering in the 17 01
18 colleges and universities of the
four states maintaining units of the
S. A. T. ('., and his new work will
bring him in dir< touch with some
7500 student-soldiers in the North
west.
Prof. Isaacs, in his capacity as gen
eral secretary for the college, was
one of the most valuable men on the
faculty, his exceptional efficiency bo
ing recognized throughout the Pacific
Northwest. He leaves the college
temporarily, however, with the ad
vice and consent of President E. O.
Holland, who is willing to make the
sacrifice in the interests of the gov
ernment and the great war.
The appointment was made by
' Chancellor B. C. Eliot of the Uni
versity of Montana, who visited Pull
man this week to confer with Prof.
Isaacs. The new assistant super
visor left yesterday afternoon for
Kansas City, where be will attend a
conference of all the supervisors and
! assistant supervisors of the States
: west of the Mississippi river. At the
conclusion of the conference Prof.
Isaacs will return west and will take
up his headquarters at Helena. Mont.
His new work, however, will keep
him on the road practically all the
j time, and he expects to spend as
j much time in Pullman as at his bead
i quarters.

IN NEW MESS HALL
Soldiers Are Much Pleased Willi
Their New Killing Place, Which
Is Roomy and Well Lighted
"Chow was served Wednesday in
the big new mess ball at the State
College, and the soldiers were en
thusiastic in praise of their new eat
ing place. A number of the mem
bers of the new training detachment
spent their first night in Pullman In
the sleeping quarters over the hall,
and were, well satisfied" although
some of them were short on blankets.
The Pull .Men gives the following de
scription of the building:
The new mess hall, as it is called,
Is a large frame building, two stories
high and with a ground dimension of
04x132 feet, It 13 by no means a
mess hall alone. The lower floor, or
basement, is not to be used for any
special purpose at present, unless
needed. This floor contains, how
ever, the hot water system at present,
and will probably be utilized for stor
age. The ground floor is the mess
hall proper. The west 24 feet of this
floor is occupied by the kitchens,
dish room and a small store room.
The mess hall proper contains 30
tables, each 28 feet long, with a seat
ing capacity of 810 men, without
crowding. The upper floor is to be
used as a barracks and will afford
room for from 200 to 300 beds.
It Is of Interest to know that the
equipment of this new mess hall is
strictly modern in every respect. The
kitchen will be as up to date as any
of its kind. Ono large, three-com
partment steam cooker has been in
stalled and two tin-gallon and one 80
--gallon aluminum steam boilers are
ready to boil all the coffee, soup and
stew we care to consume. These
large vats are surrounded by steam
jackets and afford the most econom
ical and sanitary methods for cooking
that is known. Two large steel
ranges, each more than 10 feet long,
will take care of the minor cooking
not handled by the large vats.

the exciting days of the "wet and

convinced that "times do change."
The polls will be open from 11:00

of their choice for most of the of-

NUMBER 52
ARMY DESERTER MAY
BE AUTOMOBILE THIEF
Indications Point to Deserter From
Poll Wright as Man Who Stole
•I. It. Holt's Automobile
Late developments in the hunt for
the thief or thieves who stole .1. B.
Holt's Overland automobile two
weeks ago indicate, thai a soldier who
deserted from Fort George Wright
may have been Implicated in the
theft, and efforts are being made
both by the federal and state officers,
to apprehend the deserter. Pictures
of the man have been secured and
posters bearing his likeness have
heen sent to every nook and cranny
of the country, bo thai his arrest is
probably only a matter of time.
The deserter is a man who was
picked up at Colfax as a draft slack
er. When questioned there he pro
duced a registration card which
proved bogus, it being discovered
that tie had purchased the card from
a bona fide registrant] paying $6 for
the slip of paper. lie was sent to
Port Wright and Immediately induct
ed in to the service, but deserted soon
alter receiving his uniform and
equipment.
About noon on the day that the
automobile was stolen a soldier in
uniform appeared at the XX L. Hig
gins place on Union flat and asked
for and was given his dinner. The
soldier slated that he was to meet a
friend in that neighbor! d soon af
terward. Later in the day two sol
diers, on:' of th •in presumably the
man who had been at the Higgins
place, were picked up by a passing
automobile and given a ride to the
outskirts of town, where they asked
to he let out. During the late after
noon and evening the two soldiers
were observed by several citizens
near the cemetery, just across (he
road from the Holt place.
The actions of the two soldiers,
and everything connected with the
case, point to them as the probable
perpetrators of the theft, although
all the evidence, up to date, is purely
circumstantial. Mr. Hlggins has
identified the picture of the alleged
deserter as the man who partook of
his hospitality Sunday noon. Mr.
Holt has offered a reward for the re
covery of the car and another for
the apprehension of the thief.
