Multnomah county, which carried the bond issue, will probably give u large major ity for the repeal, as there has uen enough of the fund appro uri ,ttd to complete the Columbia Mk';wav, and that was the ob-j-et of the promoters of the D'xis.

COMMANDER ENTERS ON FOOT Ceremony Ii Full of Dignity and Sim plicity, the Significance of Which Was Not Lost on the Population No Soldier Shouts of Triumph Over Defeated Foe People Show Evi dence of Delight The first detailed account of the British eatry Into the Holy City was received by the London, Dully News fro-u V. T. Mnssey at Jerusalem, lie says : "This central site of sacred history Is liberated from the thrulldom of the Turk without a British bullet or shell being directed against its walls, or so much as a stone being scratched. The Turks were forced to withdraw by Gen eral Allenby's strategy nud the valor of his army. The Turkish artillery tired from a position quite close to the city, and enemy guns thundered from the Mount of Olives, but of our Ure the Inhabitants could muke out nothing more than a distant rumbling of guns and the bursts of musketry. No Display Entering City. "Generul Allenby put the sanctity of the holy sites before every other con sideration nnd approached the city only when the pressure of his troops In the mountains west nnd northwest forced the enemy to yield. "I write this after witnessing the official entry of General Allenby and his staff and military commanders of detachments of French aud Italian troops. There wus no great pageantry of arms, no display of pomp. With the communder in chief and his small staff wus a guard of less than 150 all told, Including allied troops. There I was u quiet ceremonial of readlug the proclamation of military law, of meet ing notables of the city and heuds of religious bodies, and the olliclal entry was over. "There were no flags hoisted and there was no enemy flag to haul down. There were no soldier shouts of tri umph over the defeated foe, but Just a short military procession into tho Mount Zlon portion of the city, 200 yards from the walls. People See New Era Open. "The ceremony was full of dignity and simplicity. Its significance was not lost on the population, who saw In It an end of Turkish regime and the beginning of a new era of free dom and Justice for all classes and creeds. Hlght down Into the heurts of the people, who cling to Jerusalem with the deepest reverence and piety, there was unfeigned delight. I learn that prayers were offered up In almost every house In Jerusalem that our urms would be successful. "At eight o'clock In the morning the mayor and chief of police came out under a flag of truce. The mayor, who holds his high civic position as a member of the Hassein family which possesses documentary proof of Its di rect descent from Mahomet through the prophet's daughter, offered the sur render of the city. The formal surren ler was arranged at noon December 8. Turks Fight Stubbornly. "Between the offer and the formal acceptance, there wus sharp fighting on the outskirts, the Turks fighting more stubbornly than ut any period of these operations and meeting bay onet with bayonet. The London troops were heavily attacked nnd strong mu-chine-gun tire was poured Into them from the Mount of Olives, but by noon the Turks were pushed buck so fur that we occupied ground 7.000 yards north of the city walls. The Welsh troops were operating from the south and east, and drove the Turks from the Jericho road. This was the mili tary position at noon. December 9. All Wear Best Robet. "It was a picturesque throng that from the outskirts of Jerusalem flocked In to greet the conquering general. Armenians and Greeks and men of all nationalities, somber clad, stood side by side with Moslems dressed In the brighter raiment of the east. The pre dominance of Tarhuah in the streets added to the brightness of the scene. "All obviously regarded the day as Important, for they wore their best robes, and many of them, abandoning their natural reserve, Joined In vocal expressions of welcome. Their faces lighted up with pleasure at the gen eral's approach. The tlnt-toppiHl roofs and balconies held people crying aloud their welcome. General Enters on Foot. "General Allenby entered the town on foot. Aside the Jaffa gate ho was tecHved by the military governor and a guard of honor formed by men who have done their full j-hare in the cam paign. Drawn i:p ) the right of tin gate were men from Knglish. Scottish, Irih un'l Wel-h cou'ilie. Oj,j.Mt, them were iifty men afoot representing Australian and New Zealand Lor. men.

On the steps at the base of the tower of David, which was stand Ing when Christ was in Jerusalem, a proclamation of military law was read In four languages In the presence of the commander In chief and many not ables of the city. Mayor la Presented. "lleformlng, the procession moved up Zlon street to Barracks square where the mayor and the tnuftl were presented and likewise sheiks with charge of mosques and the moslems belonging to the Khaldees and Alamleeli families which truce their descendants through many centuries. Patriarchs of Latin, Greek, Orthodox aud Areiueiiiuu churches nnd Coptic bishops had heeu directed to leave Je rusalem by the Turks, but their rep resentatives present were introduced to the general us were also heads of the Jewish committees of the Syria church, of the Greek Catholic church, an Abyssinian archbishop aud a rep resentative of the Anglican church. The last to he presented was the Span ish consul, who has In charge the in terests of almost all the countries at war. "Tho representations over, the pro cession returned to Jaffa gate. Thus ended a simple nnd Impressive cere monial, the effect of which must be far reaching." DEATH TO THE HUN. By Daisy Sanlal QUI (of the Vigilantes.)

Though King Victor Is the only en tente ruler who has constantly lived nt the front mining bis soldiers, yet very Uttle is mild and printed about him. His name never appears in the general Btiiff communluues. The war corre spondents never mention the king's name and doings, except when allowed to describe olllelul ceremonies connect ed with the visit at the Italian front of other entente rulers or high entente officials. Very few civilians have seen the king during the last two years. Hven during his brief visits to the capital, when his presence here Is re quired by important cabinet meetings, the king Is never seen In the streets, is In former years. A few days ago the following sketch of King Victor, to gether with the description of one of his experiences at the front, was dis covered In a letter of a soldier to hU mother : "The king passed only a short dis tance from me and I saw lit in dis tinctly. He was calm, smiled to every body whose gaze attracted his atten tion nnd spoke to every soldier near him, asking numberless question. Af ter a while he resumed his uscent to ward the advanced trenches on the eak of a high mountain In order to shake hands with the soldiers and en courage them with fatherly words. After the visit he came buck, took a photo of us and then hoarded his car nnd sped away. Only two generals and a colonel were with him. While making the ascent un enemy plane happened to be heading for the same sot. The king, Instead of seeking shel ter, continued to walk, ami when our untlaerlals opened lire on the plane the king remained In the middle of the road, Impassable under the hall of shrapnel bullets, following the duel with his field glass. When the plane fled he congratulated the artillery men." PLAN TO TRAIN CRIPPLES Oregon University to Re-Educate Vic time of the War. Ile-edurutlon of men crippled In the war Is a problem that the University of Oregon Is anticipating and one for which preparation already Is being mude. A committee of representatives ! of the departments of psychology and education has been appointed to muke a careful study of the most practical methods of re-education and to make recommendations for the establish ment of such courses of study as are deemed advisable. The special problem for the commit tee Is to devise ways of educating men for new pursuits after they have been crippled la m.' b ny as to make their luiuft occupations impossible. m Til SLEtiS CbMT Actress Tires of Vanities Amid War's Horrors. IS CONVERTED BY PRIEST Eva Lavalliere, Late Star of the Vari eties, Turns Over Her Wealth to the Poor Found Shallowness of Stage Contrasted Too Strongly With Boundless Sufferings of the Soldier In the Trenches. I'aris rubbed Its eyes and sat up with a shock when It rend In the morning papers recently that . Kvn Lavalliere was about to give up the world and retire to a convent. Laval liere, who for almost twenty years has been the Joy of I'aris theatergo ers ; she whose verve and sparkle hail made of her one of the most popular actresses of the capital whose spe cial tab-lit always gave you the feeling of biting into a sour-sweet apple with Its particular and delightful tang. Humor has It that l.iivnlllere like her famous namesake tiring of the pomp anil vanities of the world, has decided to seek peace and solace be hind the walls of a cloister. At all events, the late star of the Varieties said when asked If the report was true : Made Vow to Quit. "When the war began I made a vow that I would never act again. Then managers begged me to change my mind, ami I consented. I played a short season of "Uiiniilnetta," but the shallowness and nrtlllclalltles of the stage contrasted with the boundless sufferings of our soldiers In the trenches sickened me and I gave np the part. "Last spring I went Into the country for a rest, and there one day the vil lage priest called upon me and asked nie whether I would not come to mass the following Sunday. I smiled can you Imagine me nt mass but he was such a delightful priest, and to please him I went. I returned again and ngain and now I have decided to give up tle rest of my life to relig ion." Lavalliere looks strange without her makeup. She no longer hides the fact that her hair Is white. She has given up her handsome apartment, sold her furniture, her furs and her Jewels, turned the proceeds over to the poor, and has declared herself reiidy for her new vocation. Some skeptical persons Insist that the reason for this change of heart Is that the actress feels her powers are waning and that she has lost her looks. Some even declare that all this Is only the prelude to the announce ment that she Is to appear In a new play this season. The Soldier Understands. Itut the soldier In the trenches un derstands. Through three years of war, side by side with death, he has learned to look Into men's hearts. Hy his own descent Into the darkness of Ids fate he has discovered the shining brightness of spiritual ties, lie seems to have grown antennae with which he can probe Into the mysteries of a soul. He is not astonished that n woman, finding her existence an empty one, bus gone boldly forth Into the great adventure of discovering a new and finer life. With the disappearance of Eve Lav alliere from the world's stage It seems as if a part of I'aris had put on mourning- for the dead In sympathy for the living, as If she had under stood the terrible lesson of today and had decided to expiate, to pay with her devotions the fearful price of blood. 0eOOOO0OO0OOOO FLY AMERICAN FLAG BEHIND THE LINES 0e0Oe0O00O0O00O .

NO PLACE FOR PESSIMIST Healthy, Happy, Wholesome Men Hive Homes on Big Battle Fighters Theater Ship Qoee From Veel to Vessel and Home Talent of Visited Ship l Given Opportunity to Enter tain Their Fellow. The Itrltlsh navy la no place) for pessimist. There are probably more smiles to be seen on the faces of the uieu w ho make their homes ou Itrlttsh war vessels thau are to be found among any similar group of men to the world. This Is especially true of the Grand Fleet, where the continual rou tine of the last three years might have been expected to develop some degree of depression, but which, on the con trary, has brought together a great community of healthy, hnppy, whole some men. It was the privilege of the New York Sun's correspondent to live for several days aboard Ids majesty's battle cruis er and to enter Into the life and spirit of the men aboard this great fighting machine. Most of those who make their home In the wardroom had been stationed aboard the ship for two years, some of thent for a much long er period, itud In the whole lot there was not one case of the "bluet," Dot one "wet blanket." From the bridge to tho stokehold them was nothing but contentment and v 'Ulnguess to serve uncomplainingly without the slightest trace of bitterness or regret over racrl tlces made for the cause. Fleet Makes Thrilling Sight. There Is nothing particularly thrill ing about going aboard a battle cruiser In the darkness of early evening, but to awaken In a comfortably furnished cabin, formerly the quarters of an ad miral, and to look through the porthole upon long lines of enormous gray ships riding at anchor upon a harbor glisten lug In the sunlight is sutllclent to give the thrill of a lifetime. Something In the atmosphere of the northern country where the Grand Fleet has Its home gives health with every breath. Ou the surrounding shores of the harbor the Vikings of old spent their winters and assimilated the strength that made them the ter ror of their enemies, and ou the same shores almost every day way he seen the officers nud men of the fleet taking their exercise. Parties of men In run ning clothes dash from small boats and play nt hare and hounds with the same vim as they did In tho early dnyt of their youth. Others play golf on a course laid out over the peat bogs and enjoy It as much as If they were driving the ball over the Quest green sward In the kingdom. Among the battleships are the usual comforts of a well-ordered home. The wardrooms have graphophonea and billiard tables, and a weekly motion picture show Is given un the decks. Home Talent Gets Opportunity, There Is even a theater ship sup piled, which goes about from vessel to vessel. It anchors alongside and the talent of the visited ships produces a creditable performance. The theuter ship It called the Oourka, and Ite periodic visitations are anticipated fev erishly by the crew of every ahlp in tho fleet Perhaps the hupplest lot of any aboard the ships of the Grand Fleet are the midshipmen. They have all the energy and peutup enthusiasm of boys In preparatory school, and when they begin to enjoy themselvei In their "gunroom" the racket cun be heard In every nook and cranny of their ship. They take a stranger into their midst with a straightforwardness that fa touching and they slug their songs In a manner to bring up nieuinrlea of col lege fraternity houses aud prep school dormitories. The snme cheerlness thst pervades the mess halls Is to be found In the captain's (pinners, where In bright comfort the skipper reads his books, arranges his program of work for the men and has his being In peaceful se clu Ion. There Is something clean and wholesome and desirable about the life of the fleet, and records show that few men who have entered Into the work have ever died of melancholia.
