(United Press Staff Correspondent.) SALONIKI, Dec. 11. Our ambu: lance rushed ' down the mountain side, at French chauffeur speed and into a valley behind Hill No. 515 which sheltered us from shell fire and at last, we wore so far away from artillery buttle that we could barely hear the guns. Valandova, an old Turkish village in southern Serbia was to be our stopping place. There, In the early evening, General Baillaud, whose brave troops nearly all of them zouaves had fought their way to Krlvolak and had there tried to reach the Serbians and form a junc tion with them, was to receive, with field ceremonies, the order of mili tary merit. But we were too late The ceremony was over. However, we were astonished to see in a Turk ish mosque a French zouave-band.. It was the first band that any of us had seen 'near any battlefront on both sides. Hand music hasn't much place in this grim war. There were ninety musicians and five drummers and they stood In the mud up to their Bhoetops. Can t you get them to play?", we asked our guide. "It's, the first band we ever saw near a battlefield." "Will you write stories about It?" asked the leader. We said we would. Whereupon standing in the mud. In the evening dusk that was almost darkness, with the Turkish mosque behind them and two French officers standing fifty feet above us in the minaret the band struck up the song of a certain regiment of the zouaves. '' Some members of the band sanfi; they played on their horns In relays so that we had a chorus, a band and a fife and drWm corps going all at once. It was a rattling good tune, and, as all zouaves are about the desert and Egypt and Arabs, those zouaves in Serbia didn't Bing of Germans or Austrians or Bulgars. but of their enomles of other wars. A translation would go something llko this: "Iinng! Dang! the Arabs!" The wolves aren't far away. Forward! Hustle forward! And lof your rifles play. We gave three cheers for the band and the band gave three cheers for us; the bandmaster made us promise again mat we would write a story about how his band playod, and then we were ordered to get back Into our ambulance for the ride to Strumnitza whore we were to spend tho night. If you hear anyono'suy that there Is no music in twentieth century warfare, that men no longer die to Btirrlng tunes, just tell your Informer that he's wrong. The French zouaves have a bnnd and it goes with them right up to the front and it plays while they MASON'S ATTENTION All members of Laurel Lodge Masons are requested to meet at the lodge rooms on Monday at 9:30 a. in. to attend the funeral of Charles Christie.

This was on December 2, and that morning Genernl Sarrail back in S.iloulki hnd ordered his soldiers to retire. Tho hand had marched dowil to Vuladovn. Perhaps they didn't ; know JJint their march was part of a retreat, but whllo they wore play ing so blithely about the Arabs their MIow soldiers In the mountains were packing up their things In their dug outs and awating orders to retire from their monntulntop trenches. Wo were taken to a hospital tent at Strumnitza and found a dozen hospital cots ready for us and our military guide. In the center of the tent was a big wooden stove which a huge French soldier kept filling with firewood. The lights were can dles. A canvas tunnel ran from our tent I to another, in which lay 30 French ; soldiers whose feet had been frost bitten. "We start tomorrow for Paris," one of them said. "But It's a long way. First we ride by train to Sal onlkl. Then they put us on a boat, they tell me, and tnke us out to a hospital ship. Then the ship travels eight or nine days until It reaches Marseilles. Then we get on a train' and ride 24 hours until wo get to After a serious illness of about a week, C. C. Christie died at his home Washington streot last night.
