Dean Says Uni Paid F Lost Over 500 Men TeIs Of Mllitary Trgining Con duoted On Campus During Days Of Fighting "If the nation lost as heavily as the University did in the World War, there would have been five times Fs many casualties," declared Dean F. W. Bradley Wednesday morning i when he gave one of a series of talks on the history of the University. He stated that the University's contribu tion to the war was over five hundred. Dean Bradley contended that though many from the University were un able to go to the war, they were very useful in the Council of Defense. General Thompson came to the Uni versity and drilled the students early every morning. Although they were unable to secure arms, they executed drill nearly as effectively. "Youthful spirit can hardly be suppressed, even when going to war," declared the Dean. Dean Bradley asserted that in some cases, soldiers were sent home for be ing underweight and very rarely for anything else. "After three months of camp and close order drill, we received our orders to go across," said Dean Bradley, "we went in a boat that had part of the hull missing." Dr. Bradley told of the conditions "over there" and of the prohibiting of lights. He spoke of the 31st division which was bombed two successive nights. Dean Bradley was in the intelli gence department during the war and he told of the different methods that they used to gain information from the enemy. The principal ones were: tapping telephone wires, intercepting messagca carried by dogs and pigeons and from the prisoners themselves. The Allies had maps determining the positions of every gun emplacement on the German front. After Arm istice, these were checked and found correct in every way. "After Armistice was signed, there was a longing for peace-world peace," coiicluded Dean Bradley, "This re sultcd in the formation of the League of Nations." -n. ". O.
