' He writes home: "The Boche is going back so fast that we have to use the track almost continually to keep up with him. They surely had it soft, with concrete dugouts, rugs and stoves. I have picked up various 'little articles, German gun, bayonet. helmet, etc. We got tired of having the stuff hanging around, so we threw it away, except the helmet, which we kept .to carry water in for our radiator. I picked up a pair of German pants, too, and the dtarned things were full of tear gas, and I wept over them like they belonged to some dear departed friend. "The usual method of collecting souvenirs is to get a Boche, grab his throat and go through his pockets. If he objects, just scowl, stick out vour lower lip, assume a Jess Wlllard pose, and he usually sees things as you do. Few of them get by with more than two or three buttons on their clothes. Most or them are happy. The war Is ever for Uiera and they are glad of it." la a more recent letter he writes "The war here isn't as good as on the other front. The first thins here an airoplane greeted us with three bombs. They lit about 40- yards from us and did no particular damage. One fellow got a piece of shell in the leg, and a hunk of dirt slapped me In the face. Another piece hit the fellow next to me on his new must ache and he claims that the short whiskers were driven clear through his Hp, and all he has tor do is to wiggle It to brush his teeth. "The lite lor the Germans must be just one thing after another, judging from: the way we have been handling shells lately. France 'is Duller of peace rumors than prison ers."

A DIFFICULT PROBLEM Long Tedious Task to Transform Mil. lions of Men from Klwkl to Civil Xdfe Demobilization To Ho ' 'Done By Degrees. LONDON, Nov. 5. (Correspond ence of The Associated Press.) The British government has completed its basio plans for demobilization of the army and providing employment for the men whose sole business for four years has been war. It is calculated that 60 per cent of the men In the army will go back to their old jobs or have new ones awaiting them, but taking care of the remainder even though every-ounce of man-power will be needed after the war, presents a most difficult problem. , It will-be a long tedious task to transform millions of men from the khaki to civil life and must be dono by degrees. By the plan agreed upon these degrees have been fixed upon the needs fo Industry' with certain consideration being given to married men or those who may otherwise be needed in the home. i The government has a record! of what each man is best fitted for in civil life. The -ministry of public service which has efficiently compiled this date, has; together with other official agencleB, prepared a list of necessary industries in the order nf what is deemed their importance. The first few are called "key" trades, many of which produce materials needed for use in other trades. The idea is. that it' would be useless to release a lot of structural steel wor kers aheaidl of the men who produce steel. The trades list is completu, but will not be announced 'because of controversies li'-might arouse. The fact that a man has a job awaiting him, will not insure his early release. The government would like to be rid of that class, but It cannot handle more than hair i he army- at one time, hence a rigid ad herence to the Industrial needs. A soldier may te a diamond setter with a job to go to while his trench mate may be a railway brakeman without a job. The-breakman will be taken first and given an opportunity fo go to work. It is reasonable to suppose that that railway workman, If not heading the "key" list, are very close to the top of it and also that miners are well up. It is vitallly necessary to demo bilization plans to have the railways In running order and the miners are needed to increase the fuel supply for Industries and home comfort. And so on down the long list until prac- tlcally every recognized trade In in cluded. When a man has been selected for discharge, he will be sent to a collect ing camp, the most of which of course will be In France. He will then be sent to a distributing camp In England, where he will receive his allowance for civilian clothing. Ho will be given a month's furlough, which will mean that he will be on army pay while getting located In new work. From this stage the Mi nister of Labor asumcs charge. He will have the aid and co-operation of local employers, associations and la bor unions. Already long lists of Jobs open to soldiers have been pre pared. It remains for the govern ment, employers and unions to get the job and tne man together. AFTER CARLOAD CATTLE County Agent Kurd left on the 7 o'clock train this morning accom panied by C. W. Rose, C. O. Garrett, F. P. Miller, and Jacob Jones, to visit a number of breeders of purebred cattle in Linn, Yamhill and Benton counties for the purpose of securing some purebred cows. All these men purchased some stock at the recent Shorthorn sale held at Roseburg, but were unable to secure as many as they wantedv hence the trip at this time. They expect to bring back at least one carload of 'heifers and cows. GARKIEIJ) RESIGNS.

FEW MINUTES EXTRA High School Session Will Be Extend ed to 12 O'clock and) 4 O'clock ; Rigid "Flu'' Precautions Are Taken. ; At a meeting of the grade and- high school teachers held ' at the high school building last night, It was de cided to extend the time for the first semester of the school 'year from Jan. 31 to Feb. 14.

It woe further decided by Superintendent Smith that the eighth grade examinations for this district be held on the 6th and 7th of Feb ruary, which will be about three weeks later than the first examina tion. This latter change was made in order to give the eighth grade ttudents ipreparing for state exami nations ample opportunity to com plete all work. .. , . Superintendent Smith brought the matter of lengthening of the school day before the teachers with the sug gestion tha ten more minutes be ad ded Ito the grade session and twenty minutes to the high .school session.

Twenty minutes will bej made up at 'high school by closing j promptly at 1 2 o clock and 4 o'clock, Instead of 11:50 and 3:60, ns haB been the custom in the past. Sup erintendent Smith professed himself averse to Saturday teaching ond to adding any cieat time to the dally session,- stating that It the children were overcrowded with work they would become stale and school: work would be a grind to those wno had previously enjoyed it. . Meeting with the full approval of the teachers, this course was definitely decided upon and the new schedule will take ef fect at once. ... Superintendent Smith spoke at length regarding the Influenza sit uation, urging that teachers be al ways on the alert to discover cases and to dismiBB any Busplclous cases at once from the school room as the period of greatest danger in the dis ease Is nt the outset, when the fever first rises.

Dr. Hart Ib the only physician- minister ing to a large territory. He con tracted the Influenza himself and has not recovered sufficiently to be able to ward off what he fears will be a grave epidemic. "I am malting this one lost appeal," Dr. Hart writes, "for en. Investigation it need be, but for action most of all. before It is for all time too late. It is too much to ask up to put up with things as they are any longer. Qua- rautlne thai amounts, to something more than a scrap of paper nailed to a wall; a doctor to relieve the in tolerable pressure of work, and nur ses to take care of the worst cust'S, are what wo need. ; ,- ( ! , EXPECTS TO GET RELEASE.
