JHIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGt ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO RANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES THE ARMY Y. M. C. A. Starting next Monday and con tinuing for the week, a drive will e made for the $35,000,000 fund lor the army Y. M. C. A. Of the above amount Oregon will expected to produce about $200, 00 or more of which sum Crook County must raise not less than $2500 and $3000 should be pro duced here during the week. This is a subscription, which like the Red Cross, is made by the peo ple for the care 'of men at the front audv in the training and prison amps. The Red Cross cares for the wounded and distressed,' but the Y. SI. C. A. is the only institution that gives the soldier any attention when not on duty, and goes with him into the front line trenches, where lis comforts are cared for in the aame careful manner as in the less dangerous locations, in so far as the location will permit. The work of the army Y. M. C. A. is indorsed by the army and navy leads, by the president and all who are in a position to see its workings, nd is the one institution that keeps the men in trim for the hardships they must endure. AVe believe that the success of the war will depend to a very great extent upon this institution, "upon Its having an unstinted support from the people at home. We have had an example on both the Russian and Italian fronts, of soldiers who had lost their fighting pirit, and surrendered in large toumbers, and done other unbeliev able things. It is not to be suggested that an 'American soldier would reach that tage of despondency, yet wa know that these men were at one time strong, courageous soldiers, and we Inow also that war in this age is the most demoralizing force that can be imagined. The importance of keeping the soldier supplied with the little com forts and bigger ones too, made possible by the Y. M. C. A. cannot be over estimated, and while It will occur to the Individual that jthe various "drives" are coming ' rather frequent, thoy have not as yet started to come, and we should i supply the committee with this j paltry $3000 without any effort from them more than their state ment that they desire this amount. We have as yet given but little more than one dollar per capita toward war reliefs' we are told, while in Canada the per capita do nations have reached almost $20. Think of the hundreds of meu from this state who are giving all of their time and many of whom will give their lives in this cause, and friends it is our war. not theirs. We must and witl win the con flict, regardless of the years and millions of men that will be re quired to do so. v The most we can do to help Is to keep the men who are lighting and preparing to do so in the best of condition. We should supply all the comforts the Y. M. C. A. offers without the least hesitation, and will do so. If anyone should speak slighting ly of the organization and its work, he displays a lack of knowledge of the tacts, and should not be con sidered. . GERMAN WARSHIPS SUNK Auxiliary Cruiser, Commerce Raider, and Ten Patrol Boats Destroyed. London. The German auxiliary cruiser, Marie of Flensburg, a com merce raider, the Crocodile, and 10 armed patrol craft were sunk by Brit ish destroyers operating in the Catte gat, an arm of the North Sea, between Sweden and Denmark. The Marie, a 3000-ton vessel, equip ped with six-Inch guns, met the British destroyers 12 miles north of Kulten. She immediately opened fire, which was answered by the destroyers. In 10 minutes the Marie was ablaze. Of the 81 members of her crew, the dispatch says, 30 were killed and the others took to the boats. It is understood the Marie was ac companying a number of patrol-boats, including the Crocodile, which sank after an explosion. No British losses have been reported. Wisconsin Teacher Deplore Course.

Washington. Armed forces under the American flag have had their first clash Hh German soldiers In an at tack which the German made on first line trenches, where the I'nlted States troops had been taken for Instruction, and three Americans were killed, five wounded and 12 captured or missing. A dispatch from General Pershing showed that the Gorman forces, soon after learning the position of the new enemy from overseas, had launched desperate effort to overcome them. The teuton attack came in the form of a heavy barrage fire which Isolated a section of the American trench and apparently left a small force of Amer trans at the merry of their enemies. That the American soldiers fought gamely Is shown by Pershing's report of a prisoner being taken by them. How some of his troops escaped, bring tng this German back with them, Is not told in the brief dispatch of the American commander. Many French and British military writers have warned America that Ger many would hurl terrific blows at the Americans as soon as news of the It location reached the German Bide. ' It was pointed out that this was a favor He trick of the Germans when British territorials from Canada or Australia went iuto the trenches for the first time. 8 MEN KILLED IN ATTACK ON VESSEL Washington.

A third naval seaman is missing. The Finland was able to reach a European port under her own steam. The vessel recehed such slight damages from the torpedo that it will not be long before she puts to sea again. The torpedo struck a coal bunker which lessened the effect of the explosion. 0 In order to assist in the Conservation of Food Stuff The government earnestly requests that during the months of October and No vember each householder buy at least one sack of Irish Potatoes.

Excessive Prices Charged by Small Retailers to Be Eliminated. Washington. Regulations govern-! ing the handling of foodstuffs under the licensing of manufacturers and dealers were approved by President Wilson and will be put Into operation i by the food administrator. j The principal subjects of the rules, ! a food administration statement sets forth, are: "To limit the prices charg-j ed by every licensee to a reasonable ! amount over expenses and to forbid j the acquisition of speculative profits ' from a rising market."
