WILL REPAIR TRENCHES TODAY

Military Science 2 to Have First Work Outdoors This Afternoon.

This afternoon the men of Military Science 2 will engage in the first outdoor engineering work of the year, when they accompany Lieutenant Morize to the Fresh Pond Sector in order to renovate the trenches, which are in bad shape after the winter months. The platoons will assemble in line, under arms, on the east side of University Hall facing the building, at 2.30 o'clock. Upon their arrival at the scene of action, the men will be divided into eight sections and assigned to different parts of the line for duty.

On account of the sloping nature of the terrain any immediate work on the front line has been rendered inadvisable by the water collected in that trench. In the redoubt, second line, support trench and boyaux, however, the ground is reasonably dry, and the damage should be repaired in an afternoon.
