MILITARY OBSERVERS
FINISH WORK HERE
Army Men Have Been Studying
With Prof G. A. Loveland to
Learn to Forecast Weather
Charles Beakslee, graduate engineer
from the University of California, and
Charles Knott, graduate of the engi
neering department of Cornell univer
sity, both of the National army, who
have been studying meteorology at
this University, in co-operation with
Prof. G. A. Loveland, and in the In
terests of thi United States, have
nearly completed their investigations,
and expect to be called back into serv
ice soon. They expect to be sent di
rectly to France from here.
Their work here has been to handle
meteorological instruments, and to
learn to forecast and distinguish
weather conditions. The army needs
weather observers badly, and 200 men
from all the camps have been drafted
into this branch of service. This new
phase of the work is called the Science
and Research division of the army.
Recently the Atlantic Monthly print
ed an article on "Science at the Front,"
emphasizing the value of science in
war. In this discussion it explained
the importance of the weather bureau
work. One night they set their guns
and fired with unusual success, de
stroying much of the German line.
The next morning the guns set at the
same elevation fired on their own front
lines. They began to study this phe
nomenom and decided to establish the
The men will probably be stationed
all along the line to determine the
atmospheric conditions and set the
guns to best advantage.

these skits, and so much interest ex
hibited by those who Uended, that it
is not unlikely that the Fete will be
made an annual event. It would prob
ably be based upon the same general
ideas as the party Saturday night, al
though the details would of course
vary from year to year.
The success of . the party is almost
entirely due to the work of the com
mittees In charge. There waa much
more work connected with the Fete
than with one of the usual all-Unlver-sity
mixers, and the workers deserve
no little credit for voluntarily taking
It upon themselves to work out such
an original and novel series of Ideas.

ENGINEERING IN FRANCE
Describes Work Behind the
Lines in Letter to Prof.
G. R. Chatburn
Prof. George R. Chatburn of the
college of engineering has recently re
ceived a letter from Ralph W. Queal,
who was formerly an engineering stu
dent at the University and who is now
first lieutenant in a regiment of engi
neers now in France. Ho states that
he arrived In France August 18 after
spending a few days In England and
was immediately sent behind the Brit
ish lines to operate narrow gauge rail
ways. He says that while in London
the American engineers pr.raded be
fore the king and other dignitaries and
that they received a magnificent re
ception. He tells that the regiment
was split into three detachments op
erating a system of light railways that
run from the supply bases up to the
third line trenches. He states that
they handle all sorts of supplies, ra
tions, ammunition and even hospital
trains to bring the wounded from the
trenches to the hospitals. In the Cam
brai advances the detachment was
busy for a month before the battle
hauling ammunition to prepare battery
positions. The work was all done at
night as the trains were often within
gun range of the enemy. During the
drive they were busy hauling the
wounded soldiers to the hospitals. He
states that the regiment Is very proud
of a letter received from General By
ing telling them of their good work
during the drive.
