assigned quota, and the city of Washington furnished the largest proportion of its population as bond buyers. This was disclosed today in a treasury report of third loan subscriptions by federal reserve districts, states and principal cities. The loan total, $4,176,516,850 represents an aggregate oversubscription of 138 per cent of the $3,000,000,000 goal and every service district, every state and nearly every city went above the 100 per cent. The University of Idaho has been advised that the Students' Army Training Corps will be organized by voluntary induction under the selective service act, instead of by enlistment as previously contemplated, and that as soon as possible after registration day (September 12), probably on or about October 1, opportunity will be given students to be inducted into the Students' Army Training Corps. The date set for induction will be the same for all colleges and universities in the United States. (Further details on this and other points will be published as soon as received from the war department.)

Instruction, equipment, uniforms, board and room, and pay of a private ($30 per month) will be furnished members of the S. A. T. C. books and incidentals are to be purchased by the students. Students will be subject to military discipline and will be on full active duty. They will be kept under observation and test to determine their qualification as officer-candidates, and technical experts such as engineers, chemists and doctors. Upon the showing made they will, after a certain period, be assigned to military duty in one of the following ways:  (a) Transferred to a central officers' training camp. 
(b) Transferred for a non-commissioned officers' training school.
