CAPT. DUPONT WILL TRAIN ELIS

Arrangements Made for Him to Lecture at Yale This Fall.

Captain Andre D. Dupont, the artillery officer detailed with the French Mission at the University Reserve Officers' training camp in Cambridge the past summer, has been detailed for duty at Yale during a part of the fall term. Arrangements have also been made that Captain Dupont, in conjunction with his lectures to be delivered here at the University will visit Yale from time to time throughout the whole year and give advice regarding the artillery instruction that will be offered there.

Captain Dupont will thus assist Captain Overton, U. S. A., retired, who also was stationed with the University corps this summer and is now professor of military science and tactics at New Haven on appointment by the War Department. Besides Captain Dupont two captains of Canadian Field Artillery have been detailed to aid in the training of the Yale Battery. The guns for this training have been promised by the French government, and it is reported that they have already arrived in this country. They were secured through the efforts of M. Tardieu and Colonel Claudon.
