COLONEL OURY TALKS
TO MILITARY SOCIETY
Commandant Tells Group
CAMPUS
A I
Of Service in Army
At Meeting.
Colonel Oury addressed mem
bers of Scabbard and Blade at a
meeting hold in Nebraska Hall, on
Thursday afternoon, relating some
of his experiences in the Spanish
American war.
Colonel Oury was captain of the
Pershing Rifles at Nebraska U. at
the outbreak of the war, and at
that time endeavored to secure
permission for the entire Pershing
Rifles unit to be utilized in the
conflict. Failing to do this, he en
listed as a private in the national
guards.
Soon after arriving at training
camp, Mr. Oury was made captain
of B company of the Second Ne
braska regiment.
After a period of training, the
regiment to which he was attached
entrained for San Francisco to sail
for the Philippines. During the
railroad journey, Colonel Oury
handled the "coffee mug," seeing
to it that soldiers had coffee to
drink at the various stops. An ac
counting of all coffee used had to
be made to the government, and
the colonel states that it was four
years before he finally settled the
accounting.
The boat on which Oury left San
Francisco could carry eight hun
dred comfortably, but twelve hun
dred soldiers were loaded on it,
many having to sleep on the deck.
Because of his position as captain,
Mr. Oury was to have been one of
the last to stand guard mount on
the ship. However the first night
out. so many were ill that he and a
few other men were able to get
about with the result that they
stood guard mount and had the un
pleasant task of cleaning the ship
the next day.
After an uneventful crossing,
the ships arrived in the port of
Manila. Because of the shallowness
there, the men had to leave the
bouts on improvised rafts, and
when these could proceed no fur
ther, it was necessary to wade
ashore, sometimes in water up to
thir waists. The colonel, however,
hired a native to carry him ashore,
saving an unnecessary ducking.
The colonel stated that there
little trouble in capturing
