Notre Dame Men Stand Ready to Fight for U.- 5. When Old Glory needed them in shadowy Civil war times, the men and boys of Xotre Dame rallied to Its aid at the call of Abraham Lincoln. And now, with war-clouds hovering over the nation, an echo of that same spirit is manifest at Notre Dame with the announcement of the cadet officers that more than 600 "fighting Irish" stand ready and eager to respond should Pres't Wilson ask for volunteers. Sergt. George A. Campbell. U. S. A., retired, who is director of military science at the university, sent the gold and blue battalion through a two-hour skirmish yesterday afternoon. Company G successfully repulsed Companies B, C and K. The battle took place on the shore of St. Mary's lake and the toll of bullets was 1Ö0 killed and wounded. This skirmish is to be a daily affair and will prove invaluable training to the cadets. There ure 50 officers in the Xotre Dame battalion, each of whom is well qualified to drill recruits in the regular army. There are 600 men in the six companies, all well drilled In military tactics and there are 20 sharpshooters all of whom rank in Class A of the intercollegiate division. Plans are being made to begin a class in aeronautics. In war and peace Notre Dame has written history and should war again come upon the United States, the sons of Notre Dame will be among the hrst to give their lives in defense of her honor. WILL MOVE VOCATIONAL CLASSES TO HIGH SCHOOL Old Jefferson School Property Will Be Sold at Auction on April 11.

The land on which the old land mark stands is to be auctioned off in the offices of the superintendent in the high school building on April 14. The reason for the change is attributed by Ernest I. Kizer, business manager of the city school system, to the fact that only four of the school rooms are being utilized by by the vocational training classes. It was decided some time ago by the school board to dispose of the property. Notice of the sale of a six room dwelling house located on the lot next to the Franklin school premises in the Rachel Gallagher addition has been given by the board. The sale is set for April 14. Saturday afternoon, at 1:30 o'clock in the high school building.
