(By Associated Press.)
London, Maih 38. A summing
np opt today's fighting ou ...e buttle
line Is evidence that the Gerinun
forces are putting forth every pos
sible effort to gain their objective
point, a great struggle is on between
the opposing armies, the Germans ar
rayed in numbers the equal of which
lias never before been witnessed hi
any former encounter between the al
lied armies and the German soldiers.
After a heavy- bombardment early
this morning the Germans threw ut
lenst seven new divisions into an at
tack on the British front on both
s.ues of the Scrape river, and with
great effort penetrated the Ilrltlsh
forward zone. '1'he fighting here was
furious, us it has been. at other sec
tc rs where the enemy have attempted
to take positiosn occupied by . the
British. Last night the Germans
crossed the Somme. river near Chip
iily compelling the .British troops to
ngain fall back.

he said: "The American soldiers are
entirely new to the methods of the
present war in combatting with the
enemy, neither are they familiar with
the tactics of the Hun, but they
worked like the best veterans of tho
Somme during the recent engage
ments with the enemy."
AMERICANS WILL PARTICIPATE.

FRENCH MAKE GREAT DASH.
Ijondon, March 28. The French
troops tills morning made a counter
attack with a great dash against the
German forces and drove the enemy
hack a distance of about two miles
on a six-mile frontage.- This attack
occurred southward from, the .town
of Noyon.'

BERLIN REPORT.
Berlin, March 28. The Germans
luwe captured tlie town of Mont'
dldier, ii7 miles beyond St. Quentin,
ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR LEAD,
March 28. When the enemy's troops
"awoke ' this morning they found the
entire western front of the battlefield
checked against further Invasion by
them, with the possible exception of
two points, and all Indications today
point to a fast slowing up of the
great drive on the part of the Ger
mans. The British and French troops
are tenaciously holding the western
edge of the Somme battle field and
are Inflicting a tremendous loss on
the enemy's forces who are concen
trated here in great numbers.
The British counter attacks have
begun at the town of Albert and they
have advanced their line eastward be
tween the Somme and Ancre rivers a
distance of about one mile, ana south
of the Somme the British forces have
regained the town of Proyart as well
as repulsing strong attacks at Rosl
ercs. - Along the Ancre liver, north
of the city ot Albert, the British
threw the Germans back across the
river driving thorn from two other
towns between Albert and Monchy,
Inflicting . groat punishment. The
French troops held the enemy west
of the town of Noyon, but fell back
slightly at iasslbny toward the town
of Montdddier "when overwhelmed by
huge numbers ot German troops.
A note of pessimism is discernable
In the German leaders' reports since
their gigantic effort has failed to
break through the British lines to
that extent previously planned before
the spring drive was launched. It is
now believed that tne Dig counter
blow by the allies is in preparation
and will be launched at the proper
moment against the Germans. The
enemy's loss is estimated at this time
to be from throe to five hundred thou
sand, which has greatly, weakened
their ranks.
Fighting east of Arras today Indi
cates that the Germans have widenedi
their battle front and are now deliv
ering an attack to. the north, w -.
r - ' Strike With Great Fury.,
ASSOCIATED PRESS WAR LEAD,
March 28. Striking with almost un
exampled fury against the allied
lines last night on the front near
tho point where - the French and
British lines connect, the Germans
drove in a deep wedge to the west
and forced the French troops from
Montdidfler, 19 kilometers south
east of Anvtens. This was accom
plished by a terrible loss of life to
the Germans and they are now be
ing iheld. The Germans are appar
ently trying to protect their right
wing from a flanking attack by the
allied forces and are developing a
threat to attack the line to the ex
treme north. In the encounter last
might between the French and Ger
mans the fiercest hand to hand fight
ing of the offensive developed at the
Montdldier sector.
It is possible that the threat of
the Germans to make a strong at
tack at the extreme northern end of
the battle line is to gain entrance
to the channel ports, but seemingly
the enemy has all he can take care
of In the present field engagements
and It is thought the movement is
only taken as a protective measure.
Blockade Established.
LONDON, March 28.: At the be
ginning of the 8th day of the titanic
struggle on the western battle field
the blockade established by the Brit
ish troops has become so effective
that the German army has thrown
forward important forces to gain an
entrance at the Montdldier sector,
southeast of Roye. After a feroctous
attack between the opposing armies
the French troops fell back to the
heights, just west of Montdldier, to
gain an advantage point to direct an
artillery fire on the enemy. : A Lon
don dispatch further says that the
French have succeeded In capturing
many prisoners and a good supply of
guns in this morning s encounter. A
titanic struggle is on today on both
sides of the Somme river, and a uer
man attack is now developing in the
Arras sector. - Information from
military headquarters In, Paris Is to
the effect that the enemy's forces
having been blocked at' every other
point on the line they are now mak
ing a stupendous effort to gain en
trance through the Montdldier sec
tor. , . - ...

Sixteen Year Old Daughter
Is Victim of Parent's.
V: Unnatural Act.
ARRESTED AT EUGENE
Man is Father of Ten Children
Another Babe Expected at tlie
Family Home Girl '. .
Confesses to Plight.-' .- .. '
Mike Grow, -who left here a short
time ago in company with his 10
year old daughter, wb arrested by
Lane county authorities yesterday
afternoon and lodged' In jail at Eu
gene. . The girl was taken In charge
by the juvenile department of the
court, and later made a confession
of an astounding and revolting na
ture, charging that her father is the
parent of a babe that is expected be
fore many months. .
investigation of the man's his
tory shows that Crow has a family of
ten children, the oldest being a son,
now employed at or near Riddle, 19
years of age, and the youngest is but
two years old. Another child Is ex
pected at the family home In North
Roseburg at any time. The family
formerly lived in the Flournoy val
ley section, some fifteen miles from
Roseburg, and while there were the
recipients of much assistance from
neighboring farmers, who believed
the wife and children often suffered
for necessities of life. Last fall the
family moved Into North Roseburg,
and took up quarters In a little shack
on West First Avenue North, where
they have Blnce resided. Crow has
enjoyed the- reputation of being a
chronic-loafer, and' his failure to pro
vide for the family brought sympa
thizing neighbors' to their assistance.
During the winter the good ladies of
North Roseburg have suppliedi the
children and wife with many com
forts, including clothing and food.
t one time the neighborhood was I
so aroused at the man's slovenly
habits that there was open threat
to have him haled before the court
and made to go to work. It is under
stood that he has at one time worked
for the railroad company, but his ef
forts were not continuous, and only
for public contributions the family
woald have suffered conslderaoly.
The mother took in washing for a
good while after coming to the city,
but her condition of late weeks has
made such heavy- . toll impossible.
Nothing much was thought of the re
lations of Crow and the eldest daugh
ter, and In fact no suspicion v.ras dl--:
rected. toward them. Their depar
ture was scarcely noted, and only a
communication from the sheriff of
Lane county set the officers here
thinking. It appears from the evi
dence ' obtainable today that Crow
took the ,girl to Eugene, where he
engaged a room and the two kept
house.' Suspicion was directed to
ward him, and Eugene officers, learn
ing that the man came from Rose
burg communicated with Sheriff
Qulne.-' A close watch -was kept on
their movements, and soon arrest was
made, and the girl, scarcely more
than 16 years of age, confessed to
criminal relations with her parent
and told of her predicament. Crow
was given a hearing this morning
and bound over to .the Lane county
grand jury. Just what disposition
will be made of the unfortunate and
unhappy girl is unknown at present,
but she will doubtless be held tem
porarily as a witness against r- her
father. ... ..
Questioned regarding the deplor
able affair, District Attorney George
Neuner stated thiB afternoon that it
does not yet appear what charge will
be brought against Crow by the Lane
county officials, but In event the
court there Is unable to adequately
deal with the case the man will be
brought back here, and tried. His
crime will not be condoned or allow
ed to pass unpunished, but he will
be made to shoulder the responst
b;llty ot his beastly act

BEING ELIMINATED
Commenting upon the action of
the Portland and Albany schools in
eliminating German entirely Irom
their course of study, W. R. Ruther
ford, city superintendent of Eugene
schools, yesterday eald that he did
not think similar action , would be
taken here, tlie principal reason bo
ing that the young people ara rapid
ly dropping tlie study of their own
accord and he does not think there
will be enough who desire to lake
German,' next year 't to form any
classes, says the Eugene Register.
The superintendent said that tho
students of the city ' junior high
school wero especially averso to
studying German, a greater percent
age in that Institution having drop-
lied it than in the. high school, al
though in the latter the classes arc
gradually dwindling. While he did
not advise any student to study the
Uernian language he though It un
wise to drop it In the middle ut a
semester, as no credit would; be given
the student for only a portion of a
semester's work In that branch.
There is a tremendous demand for
French among the young people of
the city, Bays the superintendent,
and already the University junior
high school is teaching that lan
guage. A French course will doubt
less be given In the city junior high
school next year, he says: Just 'now
Spanish is the popular foreign iar,
guage, but the superintendent (pre

Dear Folks; First an Item which I

over a month ago Intending to send
It to you, but entirely forgot it.
Thought I had sent It until I found "
It among my things. ; 1 would have
sent yoa a more expensive presont,
but ttihe thing that keeps me from
doing anything like that Is my
stomach. I go and buy egs3 and

my case It Is "stomach calls'' and Die-
term "French tries " is well applied,
as they can fry. potatoes, the km. I
that just melt In one s mouth. When
it comes to eating I haven't mucn
sense anyway so that Is where all my
surplus francs go, and Jack usually
comes along with mo, so wo are both
In tho same fix.
Was in a small place a few nights
ago called the American Cafe. The
proprietor Is an ex-member oi the
r rench army and was gassed. He
now .thinks that he was a high or
llcer, and while the gas unsettled his
mind slightly, he Is awfully Jolly and
comical. Salutes evorybody as they
come In and whon some American of
ficers came In ho slapped them fa
miliarly on the hack. . His wife has
to attend to the most of the work.
They have a son about 13 or 14 years
old ana while I was in there he Banff

My but he had a wonderful tenor
voice, just as .full and clear as any
man's voice I ever heard., It was a

a pass to go to them, which I have .
