BIRDS IN NEED OF FOOD Opportunity Offered to Apply Slogan ‘■Help the Helpful.” TTelp’ng the helpless is otic of our present day slogans, and helping the helpful ' s! < hi 'ict nother. The ’birds *re our friends ami helpers and in this m so., when the g round m oo\ ered with frost and it is almost impossible for them to get enough food to subsist, on, something should be done to relieve them. They ought to be fed, and no one is j doing this, according to Dr. J. F. Bo vard, head of the zoology department, unless it W with the exceiphion of a few townspeople. * The student* of the University could do a great deal to relieve this k condi tion and so save the lives of many of cur little friends by starting a general feeding table which could he located somewhere on the campus. Here emrobs could betbrought for the birds, peanuts and other suitable foods could be pro vided for the squirrels. This plain of a feeding table has been adopted in many of the eastern univer sities and has proved an interesting and a successful experiment. The birds and squirrels become quite tame and the sight of them feeding so tnistflully miear man is reward enough, for the trouble of pre paring the table Fred B. Dunbar Expects to Re turn Soon; Just Misses Getting Commission. Fred B ]hinbur, who attended the University from 1012 to 1015 nnd who is i\t present in the gas division of the fifth division i^i France, according to u letter received by Karl Onthnnk, sec retary to I’resied'uit Gainpibell, expects to return to the University to complete his course shortly after his return to this country, lie writes in part: “I was in Paris during the big cele bration of the signing of the armistice, and if there was one place to he that night, and the next and the next and so on for the rest of the week, it was Paris. The way that crowd manhan dled those German cannon of nil cali bres ahomit the streets, and tin* way the French ‘matnselle.s’ greeted the Amer ican soldiers, and the joy that was spread about that old city that night was well worth travelling far to see. It was wonderful, and such a sight nnd expe rience otnewiill certainly never forget. Luxemburg Is Recommended “flame hack fan time to join my divis ion near Dun-stur-.Meuse, on the Ar go uno front, and came on with it here to Ix/niguyon. Yesterday and the day be fore I had the opportunity of visiting Luxembourg, and if yoai ever take a honeymoon to Europe, do not fiil to visit this little city. Like a jewel set on the heart of Europe It certainly is. The people speak German, French and Eng lish and use all those different moneys as well as Belgium and their own, but to all appearances they have not known that there has been n war going on. The prices of things show that up, how ever. It is a real little city though— the people art' glad to see the Americans and will go a long way to do you a fa vor. From there, also, as part of this division is already in Germnmv, I will have a chance to get over and look some of it over - at least as far as Golden'/.— that is, providing we don’t have to go Berlin ve! to really settle this affair. “My brunch of the service will prob ably he among the first groups to leave for honve, but I guess 1 am stuck with the division utnitll after some of the bunch gets home, anyway, until a ft or the peace treaty is signed, and maybe longer. If 1 thought there was an opportunity of getting home in time to enter for the second semester I would sure like to make it, as I am planning on finishing up and taking some more work before going east, on which T am now plan ning. On the other hand, as long as I am able to visit such places as Luxem bourg 1 do not mind stayfi-g so much. Besides, unless the I hitchers line up in good style, it looks to me just now as if a trip into Germany proper is not such a great distance away. “I made the trip to Tours to take an examination i*u mv branch of the ser vice for a commission. 1 was informed afterwards that 1 passed successfully, but as 1 took it on the day the armis tice was signed atsl all promotions in that line have been stopped, T fear T am out of luck, but .1 guess it mokes little difference now, or it won’t soon anyway." student sfnds gift rook \ Glenn Stanton. ex-’1S, has pro -cnli'il to the School of Aivhittvture li h,'t\ry an illustrated volume entitled "Yanislioil Halls and Cathedrals of Fran. o,” h\ George Wharton F.dwwrds.

Onthank, secretary to the PresVle.it, describing his trips while en gaged in field topography. Simola was a student at the I'niverisity during 1916 1917 and part of the following »Kr. and took the fourth ordnance course here. Me is a member of the Phi GUmma Delta fraternity. Jlist letter, which follows, is dated at Tours, France, December 16, 1918: “1 just reeceivd an ‘Oregon Over seas’ paiper, and of course was very de lighted. It sure made me want to be there again, you know where—at the University. F must say that the taper was certainly full of information, more than one would ever hope to get through letters. “I landed in France August the 12th. at Brest, the famous old seaport, and it was there flint I really began to think there was n war going on over here. .Might add that we did have a little ex citement coming j^oss, ns one whole mornkiig we did nothing byrt drop'depth bombs for those unseen enemies, but of course, that is all I know of the de tails. At any rate it was Quite new to rn<‘. We did not stay in Brest long be fore we went to Mehun and there I had to be taken sick with the flu and lay in the hospital for some two weeks. I am none the worse off for it, in fact I am ■glad that I had it, as I realize 1 must take care of myself. Sent to Tours “From Mehun I was sent mp to Tours as a photographer. I was assigned to the engineering department of the ord nance division, First I did nothing hut laboratory work and finally got irato work I've boon crazy about, namely, field pho tography. This work , onsists of going constantly on field trips lo picture ord nance material, not American but boche. One trip particularly was most inter esting, when with several officers wo motored some 500 miles along the front picturing Boche guns which they had left, behind in the mad rush to get out of the way of the advancing doughboys, anal by the way they deserve untold cred it. I have been through Verdiuin and that most beautiful city was nothing hut n mass of ruins. “Also went up us far as the town of liongwy, which is not far from Luxem burg. All this was done after the armis tice was signed, hut not very long after, and as a .result one could see things very much as the Germans had left them. Be yond Verdun I could see how the Boche had built regular dug-out cities on the hillsides, and let me add that these same places were certainly full of shell holes. 1 can see why they had to leave. At any rate, my pictures turned out very suc cessful, ami of course I was happy. Trips Often Uncomfortable “I eertiiiaiily have seen a lot of this country in the wobk I am in. At times the triiis have been a little uiiueoinifort tt'ble, lurt 1 wouldn’t have missed them for the world. "I figure very strongly on a lot of students coming back to school next September if not before. Many of the boys are leaving for home and I hope to he one of them before long, sis my work is nearing a close, or at least I think it. is. In this army life one can certainly see the 'need for a good col lege education.” Simola’x address is Ordnance Head quarters, s. o. s., r. s. p. (>, 7i7, K. F.

'Pickett, former University I student, now itai France, in a letter to i Ivarl W.

Mr. Pickett is now a ser-1 i geant first clash with the 316t,h sarii atry train, A. E. F., A. P. O. 770. The letter follows iln part. “Was very glad to hear of the splen did progress the University is making. I will certainly be glad to receive the paper the girls are putting out. Have wished many times that I could get the Emerald to read. I have passed your message around to the boys and they re turned their best wishes. We have many old Oregon men in our division. “You have no doubt heard of Lieuten ant Leslie Tooze being killed during our first engagement in France. 1 under stated there were a number of other Uni versity of Oregon boys killed also. I had a number of very narrow escapes, being under shell fire for ten days and iu several air raids. During the time our division was in the trenches on the Fretach front I went up several times during my spare moments and assisted the Y. M. 0- A. secretaries,,, passing out smokes to the men on the firing line. 1 was chosen to make a distribution of free sweets and smokes for the Y. M. O. A. to the entire division the day before the division came out of the trenches. Which I had to make under fire and to each organization according to their strength. To see men killed all around me without a bit of warning or chance of escape was certainly sickening. Billeting With Belgians “We have been billeting with some Bel gian people who are very good to ns. As they were fenced to speak German for four years, I have been losing my Uni versity German to good advantage, be ilng the interpreter for the rest. 1 was invited to take dinner with them and they differ from a French family I dined with while in France, in that the Belgians put everything on the table at once, while the French only put one food on, which meant that the Belgians were in a hurry to finish the meal, while the French took two hours. 1 was out the first morning 1 arrived in France, using my tooth-brush, much to the amusement of the French people. Finding out that olnr neighbors did not have one. I gave a girl an extra one that I carried and much to the amusement of the boys, we saw the whole family use the same tooth brush in turn every morning." “After coining out of the Argoime front o.ir division was awarded so many men to go to a famous winter resort in ■ Switzerland with all expenses paid. Our sanitary train was allowed 50 and 1 was 1 selected from the camp infirmaries, of ; which 1 have charge, to go. Just at the I time of our departure out division was [ordered to Belgium and we had to give it up. Eager to Return "As the war is over and our work seems done, we are all looking to re turning home.
