the Portland Oregonian. - . '
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

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

Sixty Per Cent of Jts Army
- Will Be Given Back
;r . Their Old Jobs.
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

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. The purpose of this
change 1b to equalize the Iobb of time
experienced because of the recent
quarentlne. The new schedule will
give seven full weeks of Bchool In
the first term after the ' 30th of
Decembor. 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. 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. The teachers were also
advised that City Health Officer

days' absence be required of all ex
posed pupils instead' of tho three

APPEALS FOR HELP
Powerless to enforce quarantines

Hart, of Gardiner, Oregon, has writ

Hart Ib the only physician- minister

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. ; ,- ( !

The city also holds a' claim on the
