OF VAN ( FOR HUNS Alfred Whealdon Writes of the : Splendid Work of His Division Against Crown Prince's Men. AIR BATTLE IS TRILLING Boche Puts Up Game Fight but Is Bested by Americans and Forced Down 'to Surrender. - Alfred Whealdon, son of Mrs. N. v Whealdon of US Thirteenth street. Jort- ' land, has given an Interesting deacrlp- : tlon of the wearing of gas masks. He ays: "If ypu think it's easy, just try holding your nose and breathing; through a hose attached to a tomato can full of rocks. At-the same time keep the head .. encased In a close-fitting paper bag. If there la anything that makes us hate t the Hun it is having to wear these con traptions of torture and all on account of hi low-down methods of fighting. " "Our'dlvlslon has done splendid work and has been cited by General Pershing along with others as being responsible for the recent victories. It was a great victory all right, and to think we rolled tip- the crown prince's own army and pushed It back! This success came right tm top of Ludendorfs statement that the 17. S. troops were merely cannon fodder and couldn't stand up to the Mwnneu 1 veif rung ot 1110 MiKr. vvs ' have never wanted victory that. was not the right kind, though. Kaemr Found Well Entrenched "We have recently been up towards the front to put in a piece of road and worked right out In what had been No ' Man's Land. It was no easy job as . there wasn't an Inch of soil that hadn't titv ftiin1 nvr anA nvAr pr.ln (lur ing the struggles that had taken -place there. All the time we were working , traffic kept struggling by and brought In much Oerman spoil. Including a cute little Oerman roadster and a number of trucks and wagons that we lmmedl- ately made use of, and It looked to us as If It was not equipment the Germans 'lacked, but men for soldiers In.the field. "They certainly had been well en trenched as there were strings , and strings of barbed wire and concrete dugouts. ' - Wltlfs Smiles on Faee ' "The last day we were working on 'th,ls road a number of trucks came by . .with people from the front, men, women and children whu had not seen their pwn land except 'in the hands of the Germans for four years., It is impossible for -me to describe the 16ok on their faces as they went by unless it was the same as that of Beautiful Joe, the dog, when he was taken away'' from Jenkins . and Installed in the minister's family and felt the caress of a friendly hnnd for the first time. They looked tired- and unkempt without the hope of ever v, Ming free again. They welcomed u t with wistful smiles and rather aoaazed expressions so that I really doubt that they knew from Juat what country we were, in raci. we were jusi comraaes ' and nothing more. If anyone has suf fered from this war, these released peo- Vile surely have, as they have been in the power, of the devil's own and no escape. ; German Aviator It Brought Down f "Supper came In right here, also an air battle. A Hun came over to have a look-see but got more than he bar gained for, as five or six of our planes were up waiting for their dinner. He was a large observer while our planes were light pursuit planes. They let Mr. Hun fool around dodging anti-aircraft hots 'for a while and then they came down out of the clouds and surrounded him, forcing nlm down little by little. Steps Will Be Taken in Public Schools to Remedy Defects of Majority of Children. I R. Alderman of Portland, supervisor of war work In the city publlo schools. ! Dr. B. W. Debusk. professor of second ary education In the University of Ore gon. Is a member of the committee. . "It Is estimated that probably not more than BO per cent of the high school boys, who are really a selected croup, could pass the entrance examination to the United States army as It was pre vious to the entrance of the United States Into the war." said Dr. Debusk Friday. "It is shown In government re ports that approximately 60 per cent of the causes for rejection of men apply ing for admission to the army would have yielded to remedial treatment in early childhood. Of the causes for rejec tion. 14 per cent came under the head of TTnlversltv of Ojsron. Eusrene.

Ot these, all but the heart trouble are easily remediable in childhood. "The educational organisation has tolerated physical Inefficiency to an ex tent which Is proving costly. It is folly to expend large sums reeducating great masses of children who are prevented from keeping up their class work owing Klamath Falls Man Lieutenant in Navy IClmath Falls, Dec 21.

Finally he got up into some clouds and it looked like a get-away but one of our planes drove him out right under the nose or an other which forced him down out of control.

This will be performed without interference with the services, however. About 600 members of tfc Multnomah guard will start out at 8 o'clock Sunday morning and will go through the rest dence sections in small squads. Not house that fails to display a Red Cross flag will be passed by. The guardsmen will make a special point of attack all such residences, and where the Red Cross flag has only one croBS when the house looks as though there are several adults in it the guardsmen will see if they cannot Increase the enrollment. Between the Multnomah guard and the canteen girls, very few people In Port land will be able to avoid enrolling or giving a good reason for not doing so.
