OFFICAL COMMUNIQUE FROM OREAD SECTOR
Brave Soldiers Advanced Under Withering Machine Gun Fire
BATTLE LASTED ONE HOUR
Field Headquarters, K. U. R. O. T. C., May 28-11 is reported unconfirmed that one of the two armies which yesterday engaged in the hotly contested "Battle of Oread Heights" has won. Reports are manger as communications for the scene of action from various sources; emy having several perving bands out to prevent the possibility of re-enforcement.
Spectators Pronounced the Effect Very Realistic and Hope for Another
The struggle commenced, following a review of the Hill troops before the commandant, Maj. H. J. Burdick, and a visiting officer, Col. C. H. Muller, cavalry unit, from the headquarters of the Seventh Corps area, Omaha, Neb.
The line rushed up the Hill from Stadium Field, frequently stopping and throwing themselves headlong on the ground to escape the terrific fire directed toward them by the enemy. The soldiers were in front of the Sig Alph house.
No Man's Land became a sea of bursting shells, mud and spattering riffle bullets (blanks).
The firing and the bursting shells as well as the sputtering of the machine guns behind the Administration Building and at the rock quarry, was exceedingly realistic, although at various times it was observed that species were located in the zone of fire and subjected themselves to the ravages of withering fire.
The climax came when the forces, coming up from Stadium Field reached the east embankment of Potter's Lake. Hades broke loose. "Big Bertha" whizzed through the ether and buried themselves in the earth with sickening thuds. The machine gun fire increased in intensity. Two or three automatic riffes added more noise to the din.
For several minutes the terrific inferno continued. Then the clear notes of a bugle cut the air and instantly silence reigned over the battlefield. A lumbering tank failed to get into action at the proper time. A good crowd, estimated at 300 people, greeted the contesting forces and watched them form orderly ranks after the "Battle of Oread Heights" was over and march back to their barracks. Words of commendation were mingled with horses that the Hill unit would engage in a similar affair next year

'FIGHTIN' TOM' GIVES $50 FOR EACH GOAL
Member of Every Victorious Team Adds $50 for Winning Scores
Tom D. "Figgin" Tom" Smith L.B.9:8, of Hiathwa, arrived in Lawrence today ready to do his part in the victory. He was joined by Smith, member of the victorious football team of 1899, said he was ready to give $10 for every goal he had kicked for K. U. in 1899 and also to give goal wish ball wait Missouri) that year.
It was found that Tom Smith's forty-five successive goals in a year still stands as a record in K. U, football annals, and the big Hiwatha attorney willingly signed his Memorial pledge for $800 - $10 for each of his forty-veal goals and $50 additional for the ledg goal that beat Missouri.
"If you need some more money in winding up the Memorial campaign, you can call on me for some more on that Missouri goal," Mr. Smith told his old friends, George O. Foster and Sherman Ellott, A.B.O. 00, who were born in Utah to Eli and when Tom Smith was making his griffin records.
Since his graduation, Mr. Smith has continued his active interest in University of Kansas athletics in spite of his financial status and attorney in Brown County. Mr. Smith is in the race for the Republican nomination for attorney general. Four years ago he was second in the race for the nomination. Mr. Smith has been an active member of Kansas because of his ability as a campaign speaker.
INVENTS VACUUM AIRPLANE
Italian's New Craft will Revolu tionize Air Transportation
Washington, May 26. (United Press.) A new type of lighter-than-air craft, which it is claimed, will revolutionize air transport, and will be propelled upward by the unique means of a vacuum maintained within its center, has been invented by an engineer from Arizona to reports to the cloudy air service.
Three concentric hulls will form the body of the new ship, a partial vacuum to be effected in the outer two, the third, innost, is to be made as nearly perfect vacuum as is possible, by pumps. By reduction and equal
distribution of external pressure on the three separate hulls the existing pressure on any portion of the craft or more than five pounds a square inch.
A prospective speed of 215 miles an hour would be possible—New York to London in eighteen hours—when equipped with four 300 horsepower engines, dually propelling the ship and operating the pumps.
Doubts have been expressed as to the probable rigidity of the airship whether the hull would collapse from external pressure or, if sufficiently strong to withstand fifteen pounds of its weight, its weight would be prohibitive.
Fowler Shops Build Lumber Storage Rack
A large rack for the storage of pattern timber has just been completed on the second floor of Fowler Shops. The rack has floor dimensions of twelve and fourteen feet and is twelve feet high. It has separate compartments for the hard and soft woods. There are also three sections of the pattern lumber without its warping, which has been very troublesome in the nast.
Sup. O, T. Rockund of Fowler Shoes built the rack during spare hours. Last summer Superintendent Bob White took over the use of the men taking shop work.

The plan is to develop by the football mentor of developing and selecting the football squad in spring practice has proven highly satisfactory in every respect. During the cool weather of the early spring months, heavy field practice was held, which taught the members of the squad a great deal about individual team play. After the weather became too warm for outdoor work, weekly classes were established at which the men received valuable information through a series of lectures by Coach Clark, and were given problems to work out themselves. In this way, the course in football has been given to the thirty-seven men on the sound.

NEW TELEPHONE TESTS MILK Instrument Detects Impurities In Oil, Milk and Water
London, May 28.—One of the latest inventions to get publicity in London is the telephone milk tester.
This instrument detects impurities in oil, milk and water from the earliest stages of turning sour on down.
The instrument will, its inventor declares, also give notice of a gas escape in sewers, cellars, and garages. F. J. Torquand, whose brain has perfected the instrument, gave a demonstration in his office.
He placed a tumbler of milk on a table near the instrument and then retired with his audience to another room and telephoned to the testing machine. The receiver told him by sound that the milk was good.
Next he reversed the process and placed a glass of bad milk in contact with the machine.
This time the detector made notes which undoubtedly showed the milk to be "phony."
