place. There was no let up in the
fighting at many points along the

ticularly vicious, but the Germans
were unable to make appreciative
headway. Although the Germans are
crowding the battle ait the British
lines along the rivers Lawo and Lye,'
the British are standing tne attacus
with great doggedness and holding
up under the continued strain.
Heavy fighting Is also, reported at
'Estalres and St. Manr. The Ger

fighting. The artillery bombard

Ypres-Comlnes oanal. Fighting is
also in progress along the southern
portion of the front.
Trying to Break Through.
Twice yesterday, the Germans, by
their determined assaults, gained
ground at Glvenchy, but in each in
stance the British fiercely threw them
back. The last attempt was follow
ed by 800 Huns falling prisoners
into British hands. The enemy has
'brought the concentrated fire of Its
big artillery batteries Into action,
and is also throwing dense masses of
infantry against British positions,
" plainly trying to break through the
lines. - ' ' . '

short time to show the boys of his
regiment a few blows, along with
spiritual advice, in his office in the
new! branch library established in
the regiment.
Lieutenant Rexroad might welt be
termed a "fighting parson,' and has
no patience with the I. W. w. ana
pro-German element of the north
west. He thinks no penalty is too
extreme for those lacking in loyalty
to their country.
Lieutenant Rexroad was formerly

By J. E, McCiitttock, Liberty Loan
t Committee.
The third liberty loan drive in
Douglas county is meeting with suc
cess, and present Indications sug
gest that we will meet our full aliul
ment, but la spite of alt the publicity
that has beea given to this excep
tional investment, the several teams
are meeting people who give the im
pression that they are being asked
to make some sacrifice in this mat
ter, and ofter the statement to made,
Oh, I guess I can give Jo or ties,
bat I really eassot afford to do it,"
and put up a pitiful story, that al
most brings tears to the eyes of the
men on the teams,
There are a few people In Iteue-
las county whs really eaanot buy a
bonfo but very- few, as the terms of
payment are such that a person
with any income at all can buy a lau
bond, The terms are as follows:

August 15. When pais for you have
an investment paying 414 per eeat
interest semt-aKnuaily, with the en
tire wealth of the United States back

One instance has corns to toe no
tice of the committee. A certain
person in Roseburg, who has $2000
which he bag beea trying to loau for
some time was solicited by the city
team, an after muott coaxing he
bought one $100 bond, and tbs men
os this team knew absolutely that he
wanted to loas the fall amount, but
ha figures that he will get a higher
rate ot interest front the balanca of
bis funds. Yet If he is honest when
the assessor caiia next spring, ha will
give this loan la for faxes, and if he
secures a loan paying Mm T per cent,
less the taxes of about 3 per "cml,
he will have earned a less rats of
interest than Uncle Bam Is Serins
him at this time. This is this man s
Idea of patriotism, sett first, then
the boys In the trenches next. Of
course there is only Just one such
case In Douglas county ?),
Another report comes ln,xthat a
certain man in the etty of Roseburg,
who Is known to be worth much In
money and property, did not give the
team time to call and. present the
liberty loan preposition to Mm, but
quietly slippe In to bis banker and
took a bond for $100, when be eould
have taken one for $2500 or $5000
easier than some . of our laboring
people can Invest In one for $59, but
the rate of 4 does not loolt good
to him. How much better for this
man when some one asks him if ha
bought his share of liberty bonds to
be able ts say "Ho, I have bought ten
times my share." The kaiser is stak
ing his alt on winning the war. How
naaeh are you willing to stake on
seeing that be does not win Lib
erty bonds are better than green
backs we carry In our pockets. We
get no interest es green backs, but
we do get good interest on liberty
