BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 20 (Correspondence
ot the Associated Press.) To an
American visiting the weBtern front
in these stirring times, it is a sur
prise and a pleasure to note the inter
est and anticipation with which the
more active participation ot the
Americans is greeted on every hand.
The Canadian soldiers Invariably
adopt the attitude ot "I told you so"
when the ofhclal reports chronicle
American successes. The Australians
also pride themselves on their inti
macy with the Americans, and take a
personal pride in every good dleed
which the Americans do, aB if in some
way, themselves, had some Bharo
in it.
The 'English Tommies are content
to express delight and satisfaction,
but always as if eager to believe the
best and give credit for every excuse.
The Americans, by their unaBsumfng
ways and Insistent aggressiveness in
the line, have won the good will of
the whole Imperial British army.
When a German report came In
the other day of five airplanes
brought down from a patrol of six
Amerlcaa raidera, frank Incredulity
was expressed everywhere. When
the American Teport verified It, there
was nothing in it but hard luck and
a basis for further avenging ex
ploits.
The American rlylng men have a
hard time before them to BUStain the
hopes heldl out for them by their ad
mirers in the British and Canadian
battalions. The kindly applause
showered on American methods by
the English newspapers which have
from the first Ignored the mistaken
certain to creep into any war admin
istration is either accepted In
France as the complete story or 1b a
reflection ot the feeling here.
Nowhere was the amity of feeling
between the Americans and the va
rious British unltB better demonstrat
ed than at the recent Dominion Day
sports behind the British lines. The
events of that day are acknowledged
to have boen"the greatest gala-day
celebration ever held in the war area.
SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY.
Monday will see once again the
doors of the various school opened.
There was some effort to postpone
school, but It seemed impossible, aB
most of the teachers are already horc
and are anxious to begin their year's
work. Arrangements are being made
to accommodate those coming into
school late providing that they are
working In the conservation worR.

CITY SCHOOLS WILL
Buildings Where Pupils From
Defined Sections of Town
May Enroll.
SOME CHANGES MADE
Suggestions Offered by Superintend
out Concerning Purchase of Text
Books Kxcoptions for Pupils
Itenuilnlng at Work.
Because of the shifts made in the
population and) . the ' consequent
changes iu the distribution ot school
children in the .town, as well as the
apiuireutly reduced enumeration, and
the consequent reduction in the
teaching force, It seems necessary to
set definite limits for the attendance
at different buildings. Consequently
all children south of Washington
street and east of the river will go to
the Rose school, while those north
of Washington will enroll at Benson.
However, any children on the east
side of the river who have been at
tending Fuller-ton during the past
year may register there at the be
ginning of school up to and includ
ing the 7th grade. Pupils of the 7th
and 8th grudbs in the Riverside
neighborhood will' enroll over town
in one of the schools having depart
mental teaching, preferably Benson.
Any necessary changes or transfers
will he made after the opening of
school.

Bon school 1 uncaused by the lessoned
enumeration In that end of the dis
trict, and by the overcrowded condi
tion which existed in some of tho
rooms at Rose Inst year.- .,,
- We will start q lasses of bbglnners

who Is now six or will be six before
December 1 of this year will be ad
mitted to these classes, At the mid
dle of the Bchool yenr, about Febru
ary 1, we will have beginning classes
In both Rose and Benson schools for
those who will be six years old later.
Pupils entering these beginning
clauses for the first time should en
roll the first duy or as soon after as
posstblo, certainly not later than two
weeks after the opening of school.
They will not be accepted! Inter than
throe weeks from the opening date.
AH pmpUs will report at their re
spective schools at 9:00 o'clock Mon

10:30. As many of these as pos
sible are asked to procure books by
one o'clock and all of them, will re
turn to their respective schools at
that hour and their regular classes
will be held in the afternoon. The
high school pupils are asked to ro
frujn from malting (purchases of text
hooks until alter one o'clock on the
opening dfciy of school. Thus we will
avoid confusion at the stores selling
text books. . f
Those pjiiplls who are helping In
the picking, drying and canning of
prnincfl, or doing other essential war
work, will be excuse from attendance
at school until prunes are cared for.
This should not be later than from
two to three weeks after the open
ing or school. Those pupils entering
late, either in high school or grades,
and presenting evidence of having
been engaged regularly in some es
sential dccupatlon, will not be re
quired to make tnp the work missed,
except In such subjects as mathemat
ics, whore the work already parsed
over is necessary to a correst under

Tho freshmen piuptls are asked to
meet the principal of the high
school Saturday morning and- enroll.
ALL LAUNDRIES WILL
GO ON CASH BASIS
Judging from present Indications
all laundrlen throughout the state
will very shortly go on a cash basis.
This action will not be of their own
free will, but in accordance with an
edict IsRued by the government quite
recently. Very soon when you got
your bundle from the laundry It will
contain a slip giving notice that you
are to he asked to have the money
ready. This Is done strictly as a war
measure and in accordance with the
advice of the State Council of De

not only prepare to aid in war work
by releasing all the man power pos
sible but also stop all wastage of
time, labor and material. In con

A CASE OF PELLAGRA
, Pellagra, a disease little known
In the north, but said to be rather
frequent In the eolith, made its ap
penrance In this city a few months
ago, resulting, within a wook, In the
death of the ipatlent. Tho victim of
thlB unusual disease wob a woman
nearly fifty years ot age, who came
hero from the south about a year ago.
This is probably the first case ot the
kind to make its appearance In this
part of the state, according to Infor
mation obtainable on the subject.
This Btrange malady is contracted
from the uso ot corn and the pro
ducts thereof, according to. medical
authorities. It Is largely prevalent
in southern Europe among the peas
ant classes, and a good many cases
appear to be regularly developing in
the southern states. Corn, from
which this disease may be contract
ed, so medical and scientific authors
state, is that which is Imperfectly
matured and Improperly cooked. In
the south, however, where corn
thrlveB and matures to a state of per
fection rarely excelled, It would
seem that the disease would not be
able to gain a foothold, but It does.
The symptoms In the case that de
veloped here Indicated' that the dis
ease was contracted In tho south,
and althought the patient was not
strong for some time after reaching
Oregon, the trouble did not become
malignant until within tho past two
months. From the faintly of the de
ceased it appears that a sister of the
lady who died here, and her young
doiughtcr, both of whom roBidcd in
the south, died of the samo. afflic
tion. The Bister became insane nnd
was sent to a state Institution where
death finally came to her relief. The
Oregon State Board of Health, to
whom Dr. B. R. Shoemaker, who at
tended the case, made a detailed re
port, holds that the dlBease Is mild
ly contag'ius. Other authorities as
sert that It is not communicable,
but at any rate all are agreed that
tho dreadful malady Is practically
incurable.
