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

which our committee Is now attacking.'
The committee is made up of I r.
Alderman, I A. Wiley. Max Barr. Mrs.
Sarah Evans and Dr. David R. Roberg,
all of Portland ; Dr. Kenneth A. - J.
Mackenzie, dean ot the University of
Oregon school of medicine: Dr. .Allen

students in the publlo . schools of Ore
gon will be the sroai of the committee
on physical preparedness ot the Oregon
State Teachers association, which will
hold business sessions in Cortland next
Friday and Saturday.
A report on the existing eltuation, with
recommendations for improvement, will
b made by the committee, headed by
cent, defective teeth. 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

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

-took control of the situation in the
shopping district and judging .from the
manner in which they went at the task
there will be a decided increase in en
rollments today. This is the day when
all solicitors are turned loose and can
work anywhere they , see fit. Up to
Friday night they were ordered to re
main in their original territory, but
today the town is open ana. the lid Is
off. -; !
Various lodge organizations will take
an active part In the soliciting down
town tonight and this evening no one
who . is downtown will fail to. know
that there is a Red Cross membership
drive on. For self protection if is ad
vlsable to wear the button and to en
roll without Ndelay if yon haven't

Churches to Take "Up Work ;
The auto truck parade will be turned
Into a Red Cross .demonstration this
evening. No method of reaching the
public will be overlooked in these clos
ing days of the campaign. The drive
ends Monday night, but there is. still
much to be done.
Sunday will see a feverish campaign!
Ministers are being requested by Mrs.
Sadie Orr Dunbar to make appeals to
their congregations, and soldiers have
arranged to go to church and take up
memberships on the spot. 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.
