TRACTORS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT ARRIVED

A considerable amount of equipment for the University artillery unit has just been received by the Military Office. This includes two five-ton Holt tractors, six horses, a complete set of saddles, and a number of observation and fire-control instruments. Four enlisted men of the regular Army have also arrived to care for the horses.

The tractors will be used for demonstrations in the different methods of traction and for practical instruction in their driving and mechanism. In this connection, a course will be given under Colonel Goetz in the operation of tractor engines.

Sixty More Horses to Come.

Sixty horses are still due, of which 20 are coming from Camp Devens and 40 from Camp Dix, New Jersey. Colonal Goetz expects to be ordered to Camp Dix in the near future to select the 40 animals requisitioned from that station, and as soon as more horses arrive, a larger detachment of enlisted men will be sent to the University.

In an interview with the CRIMSON on Saturday Colonel Goetz stated that there would be no separate summer camp for field artillery units this year, and emphasized the fact that the requirements for attendance at the other camps have been cut down. "Judging by the number of men who seem to think that attendance at all three summer camps is compulsory," said Colonel Goetz, "no very clear idea can prevail as to the actual requirements. I wish to make it clear that a man attends one summer camp if no provision for his pay is made; two camps if provision for pay is made; and the third camp is entirely optional with the student."
