WILLAMETTE NOTES At a recent meeting of the independ ent colleges of Oregon which Dr. Doney and Prof. Florinn Von Kschcn attended many matters of importance were discussed and some of the recom mendations given were: It was decided to have the heads of Ihe departments ndviso students to use simplified spelling in their written work. The present method of sporting proves that there are many students who are poor spellers, diut who would be better were thev allowed tho s'unpli- I fied spelling method. At present there I nro lOH .l'ffn-n nlinnno ii i,n United States thali approve Of simplified spe ing, and tiio.u uo iuo iiunaiiupcrs that use tho system. Only one collego in Oregon uses tho simplified spelling nt the present time us does tho paper they issue, and that is Heed Collego of Portland. Another recommendation decided upon wns that each of the seven colleges should offer a scholar ship to tho best senior Jn the various high schools throughout the state, based on scholarship and athletic abil ity. Willamette had instituted this method last year and found it to be of great vnluo ns this ye.ir's huge freshman class number some of the best students among them that were graduated from the high schools last June.

Shepherd's intern sored story of tho allies retreat from Serbiu. Kditor. By William O. Shepherd. (United Press Stuff Correspondent.) Salonika, Dec. 11. A French soldier in a steel hat stopped nnd looked nt us curiously as we walked along tho road. 'Excuse mo," ho said in broken Eng lish, "but it's so long since I've seen a man in clothes like yours that I couldn't help staring." The big British gnu was booming at two minute intervals. French guns, set on near-by hillsides, were sending oc casional shots and once in a while we talked, a Bulgarian shell broke on the road a quarter of a mile below us and wo saw soldiers running from the cloud of earth. It was a battlefield, in every sense of the word, a battlefield which within 21 hours was to be tho scene of an ally retreat. Incidentally, I wonder what became of the little Frenchman. "Civilian clothes seem extraordi nary," he said. "Havo some choco late f " He pulled an envelope from his pocket, with a postage stamp and an address on it. "This is something I got in the mail from Paris today.' I took n small piece of his precious chocolate. "Have you heard that we'ie going to move from here" ho said. "The rumor is going around our camp. They say we are going to fall back to the Greek border. Haven't you heard any thing about it back in Salonika J" First Hint of Eetreat. I hadn't. His question was the first sign of the coming retreat. On tins spot, tho very next day, dead British and French soldiers were to lie among the holly shrubs niid Bulgars were to chnrge with bayonets, shouting their cry of "no prof, no nosh." "It's been cold here," explained the soldier, "but I've been healthier than I've ever been before in my life. Why, when the war began I couldn't stand any hardship. If I wasn't in bed by 10 o'clock evrey night I suffered nil day for it. I had indigestion terribly. X(iw, I haven't slept in a beil for five months and I eat anything, anything and enjoy it.- War beats pills, I tell you. "All this artillery firing makes me laugh today. That big Knglish gnu isn't hitting anything and there are three Bulgarian butteries over there that, haven't hit anywhere nenr any body. They ought to send word to each other about how far they're missing. If they don't help each other. out they'll waste nil awful lot of ammunition." He had to be going nt last. Would I walk along the road with Mini "Right around the turn here some of the Bulgarians shells are well aimed," ho said. "They're paying a good deal of attention to this turn this after noon." The Soldier's Home. It wns like getting ready to jump in to a cold bath to start off with him. I knew that after I got my feet to work ing they would carry me along but the hard part was not to make na excuse and return to the ravine. My right foot started, however, and then my left and, fifty feet further on, we passed the turn and faced a mile stretch of road, cut along the face of the hill. charge. Mr. Jewett. spoke on the value of an ideal to the college man or woman. His talk was very interesting, nnd the attention accorded him showed that the students appreciated hearing one of their number lecture, provided he has something to sny. Prof. Morton K. I'eck gave nn in teresting talk yesterday morning on the civilization which has been nt tuined by the ants; telling how they were organized and had everything systematized. It was of interest in that very few ever consider such small insects 'ns amounting to nnythiug. Prof. Peck will address Ihe collego Y. M. next Sunday afternoon. President C. G. Doney addressed the pnrent-tenclier association at the High land school last night giving a leeturo on nn educational subject.

Rann Kennedy The Grand Theatre TOMORROW NIGHT at 8.45 Lower Floor $1.50. $1.00; Balcony $1.00. 75c: Gallery 50c Box Office open Today and Tomorrow Below us was the valley of Costoriuo; across it four miles uway word tho lulls where tho Bulgarians were. A few sol diers were on he road, walking singly. "Along here you may get a shell any time," said the Frenchman. "I have to walk along here a doezn times a day to get to my dug-out. from the kitchen back there in tho ravine. Want to sVo my dug-out?" I did, and a quarter mile walk along, the road brought us to a little ravine on the side of which wns a soldier's home, partly a hole and partly n tent. Two other soldiers in the dug-out were packing up their belongings. "Just to be ready, if we go," they explained. On n fire outside the dug out was n tin pailp with steaming con tents. It was not coffee; it wasn't ruuj. It. wns half and half. I must have had two drinks of it. It had an awful buzz in it. " We got two dippers full of wine and a half a dipper full of whiskey every day," explained a soldier. "And we need it in the cold, too." I figured it out u amounting to n quart of wine and three fifteen cent drinks of whiskey. "Are you a tourist?" asked one of the Frenchmen. "Mon Dion, you silly!" exclaimed his friend. " What would a tourist be doing here He's a newspaperman." I explained that six of us had been brought, out to the battle field and that I had lost the main party, but that we were to gather again at the waiting automobiles nt five o'clock. ' "Well it's time to go then," snid my friend, looking at Ins wrist watch. Good Luck and Good Bye. 1 "flood luck to you," they all said, ns I went away. I wished them good luck, too, for they needed it more than I did. What happeed to these French zou aves 21 hours later when the Bulgarian rush began, I don't know. Was nil the now health of the little French soldier the new health of which he wns so proud ended by a Bulgarian bullet or a Bulgarian bayonet thrust ? On the hillside, ns I returned perhaps a hundred yards from the French bat tery which topped the hill, another Bulgarian shell burst. "They never shoot a shell at a single man, it stoo expensive," my French friend had told me, and it was a com- J forting thought. To the Bulgarians i across the valley the little dots of ha jinnn beings that passed singly along I this road weren't worth potting nt with shells that cost about $25 each. It was good to feel like a dot; to know .that though a New York insurance (company thinks your life worth some thousands of dollars, the Bulgnrs count ed it less than Back at the automobiles tho party was gathering for the departure from tho battle ground. Every one of us had heard from some soldier that the French and British were going to fall back. We all put two and two to gether, on the way back, remembered all the signs we had seen during the dny the fugitives, tho trains bound for Greece nud finally agreed on this: "The nllies are getting ready to re treat." Later in the evening we found out that, we were right. (The next installment of Shepherd's story will append tomorrow.) WAR NEWS OF ONE YEAR AGO TODAY :!
