DEVENS OFFICERS WILL HELP TRAIN R. O. T. C.

The Army authorities at Camp Devens will co-operate with the staff of the University R. O. T. C. during the coming month by sending a number of officers, members of the British and French Missions at Devens, to deliver a course of lectures before the members of both of the military courses in the University. Lieutenant Colonel Edward Croft, Director of Schools at the cantonment, in a conference with members of the University military staff last Sunday expressed the hope that the relations between the R. O. T. C. and the officers at Devens, once begun would grow stronger as time went on, and that the cantonment and the University training corps would find it possible to continue a mutually helpful alliance.

Series of Lectures Planned.

The series of lectures in military science will include talks on new phases of several familiar subjects and will be divided into two groups, of which one will be for the members of Military Science 1, while the other is to be given to the men of the advanced course. Attendance at any of these lectures by members of a course other than that for which it is primarily intended will be encouraged.

The officers who are at present scheduled to speak in these courses next month are Captains Turner, Warren and Hodson, of the British Army, and Lieutenant Mallet, of the French Mission. All four of these men are now instructing in the officers' training corps at Devens. Captain Turner will lecture on "Poisonous Gases"; Captain Warren will take as a subject "The Stokes Trench Mortar"; and Captain Hodson will deliver an address on "Machine Guns and their Use." In his lecture to Military Science 2, Lieutenant Mallet has decided to speak on grenades.
