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

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

SHEPHERD TELLS MORE
OF ALLIES' RETREAT
SERB) A TO SALONIKA
Xote: Following is the fourth install
ment of William (I. 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.

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

thousands of dollars, the Bulgnrs count

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

that, we were right.
