BLOODIEST DAY FOR THE ENEMY
London, April 80 . Yesterday
probably the bloodlost day so far
recorded during the present German
offensive on the western front, it
wiw one of the bitterest days of light
ing Unit the Flanders front has wit
. nessed since the present spring drive
was launched. There was not an idle
moment on the big battle front from
daybreak until a late hour in the
afternoon and the intensity of the
firing was beyond anything so far
witi eased. Hie French troops now
hold the entire Tillage of Locre, ivesl
of Kemmel, and during last night the
British advanced their lino east of
Villers-Bretonneux on the front of
Amiens. In the vicinity of Locre the
French drove tho Germans from the
remainder of the ground they had
gained during the morning. The Gor
mans having been heavily repulsed
all along the northern battle front
there was little activity during lost
night and it passed comparatively
quiet. The correspondents with the
llritish army agree that the enomy
sull'erod nothing less than disastrous
defoat In the combat that was waged
all day yesterday in tho llrst phase of
tho battle to capture the hills east of
mount Kemmel, It was the bloodiest
day for tho Huns in the history of
the big ouenslve, the estimated
strength thrown against the allies by
tho enemy being placed at thirty
divisions.
HAVE HUNS BUFFALOED TODAY.
Associated Press War Lead, April
i$0. Today's reports from the battle
front In Flanders only serve to-emphasize
tho completion of tho victory
won by the allies in their terrible
struggle all day yesterday, with
standing tho tremendous assault
launched by tho Germans, who hoped
to break into tho allied hill positions
southwest of tho city of Ypres, then
beginning 'the cutting of their way
towards tho channel ports. Tho en
tire high command of the allied
forces seem to have decided to make
a stand after having forced (he Ger
mans to use up tens of thousands of
their men in lighting their way for
ward and the enemy's advance has
been effectively stopped. Estimates
of the number of Gorman soldiers
. tlirown against the allied forces' yes
terday on a twelve mile front is plac
ed at 175,000, and they were held
right in their tracks, so stubborn was
the resistance of our forces against
the enemy, making only slight gains
at some places but the line was re
claimed yesterday by the allies, leav
ing the Germans practically at their
initial footing at the time their at
tacks were launched early Monday
morning. The French troops now
huve undisputed possession of the vil
lage of Locre, and this for the flrst
time for several days. -This sector
guards the approach to Mont Rouge,
a very valuable hill, and a section of
the battle front that tho allies have
been closely guarding. Tho capture
of Kemmel has done tho Germans
little good thus far as they have been
unable to occupy it in force, due to
the activity of tho artillery fire from
tho allied forces.
GERMANS PAY AWFUL PRICE.
With the British Army in France,
April 30. The allied line hits been
advanced between LaClytte and Kem
mel, and tho Franco-British troops
have made - some progress to the
southward. The appalling sight of
the grey -uniformed men, litterally
carpeting the battlcf ront, and stacked
in countless numbers before the Ger
man defending positions today rep
resent the awful price paid by their
blood and flesh for the battle staged
all day yesterday.' .

OU MOST HOSPIT
ABLE SAYS DRAn BOYS
The flrst train of drafted men ar
rived in the city this afternoon at
four o'clock andl were served in the
usual up-to-the-minute manner. En
thusiasm was at the highest pitch and
the boys were intensely pleased at
their good time in this city, all ex
pressing the opinion that the people
of Oregon were the most hospitable
of any in the entire United States
Another troop train will reach, this
city tonight and will bring the last
of the drafted men from California.
Tho local committees are planning a
wonderful time for the boys this ov
ening and dancing will be indulged
until the train departs. Because of
the fact Chat California haB furnlsh-
! ed such a large number of class one
men during the next drafts the state
will not be called upon for troops for
several months to come.

FEW PLEDGES UNPAID
State Chairman Urges Delinquents'
to Meet Those Subscriptions
and Make County Roc- 4
ord 100 Por Cent.
(By J. E, McClintock.)
The next Red! Cross drive will be
launched May 20, and tho cull Willi
no doubt be for at least $100,000,1
and every loyal American will be ex-.
pected to subscribe liberally for this !
important movement in the interests :
of suffering humanity, both at home,
and on the battle - fields of Europe. 1
Douglas county subscribed over 19,
000 in the drive last May, of which
amount all but $507.76 has been
paid. But this balance is still harg-;
ed against this county, and while a'
small part of it cannot be collected;
on account of the subscribers hav
ing moved away, however these sub
scriptions are smalls but a number
of those who have neglected to pay'
their subscription, are amply able
to pay same, and the committee will
send, them one more notice, and If
they continue to neglect their patri
otic duty after receiving this final
notice, then we feel that It hv only
fair to those who have paid to with
draw the names of the delinquents
from the published liBt which was
printed after the orlve was completed
last May, for, as the public record
shows, these parties are credited
with having supported the Red Cross
for the amount est opposite their:
respective names, yet the office rec-.
ords show the subscriptions remain
unpaid at this date. ' - a
The following letter from the state
chairman has prompted this article,
and wie hope to be able to report
Douglas county paid in full within
ten days, or before the next drive
starts:
"Mr. J. H. Booth, Chairman, '
Douglas County Red Cross,
"Dear Sir: According to the rec
ords of the state treasurer for the
flrst Rett Cross drive,' there is still
outstanding in your district $507.75.
"This money was pledgod by your
various subscribers to the work of
humanity an. was promised through
the American Red Cross to the relief
and support of our soldiers in France
or to the relief of French soldiers
whose country after four years of
war has bieen- so Impoverished that
our help was needed.
"It Is dilficult to understand how
any subscriber financially able to
keep that promlBe -can reconcile his
failure to do so with the promise he
nrado ''to lyear this small part of a
dlebt which he owes men who are
fighting his battles.
"I dp not believe that any man
having a full realization of this will
hesitate to take up his pledge.
Kindly notify those delinquent in
your district In order that this money
may be paid ' in and forwarded to
Washington where It is needed. .
"Yours very truly,
"HENRY L. C0RBETT,

; to Get Best Results
In Production.
The Fruit Inspector reports fruit
men all busy these warm spring days.
Applegrowers are attending to spray
ing, as it is now time to apply the
"pink" application on apples for ap
ple scab. After the blossoms drop
the calyx spray will be made to con
trol the worm and scab, using at that
time arsenate of load! paste . two
pounds to 50 gallons and lime-sulphur
1 to 30.
Prune growers In Coles Valley are
busy cultivating. They aro letting
the- prune buyers do the worrying
abejut the frost damage, being too
busy plowing, disking and harrowing
to pay any attention to it. Appar
ently the damage amounts to a good
thinning. Only, the future can tell If
any further injury to the stems has
been done. " '
"These prune growers are good
fruit men," says Earl Pearcy, "and
realize the Importance of early culti
vation to hold the spring moisture,
and to sto-rt a vigorous sap flow by
warming the soil about the feeding
roots. Another good orchard prac
tice, quite generally followed by the
Coles Valley men, is that of level
cultivation. Maximum results can
only be obtained year in and' year out
by giving the roots every possible
chance for proper functioning. Flow
ing towards the tree row every year
means that the roots near he trees
are smothered beneath a deep layer
of cold soil, while the roots farther
out are so close to the surface that
they dry out early In the summer.
The result Is stunted trees, yellow
sickly loaves and small fruit. The
best growers alternate the direction
of plowing each year."
It Is reported that Spltzenberg
apples are showing a very light blos
soming this year.

BOYS WANT LETTERS
Artillery Troops May See Front Line
. Foreign Duty During Autumn
Drive Drafted Men From '
Wisconsin Train at Fort.
' Local residents who recently re
turned from Fort Stevens and other
coast forts related to a News repre
sentative the following ; interesting
account of army life as experienced
at the present time by the Ro3oburg
boys: .'--. j
There Is very little new to tell for
It is the same old routine day after
day with very little variance to the
monotony, the only change being tho
arrival of the men afforded by tho
last draft and the task of making sol
diers out of them. A large number
of the men of the old 4th company
were transferred to other organiza
tions to be made into non-commissioned
officers and they are proving
themselves to be efficient and capable
in the tasks given to them. The
new arrivals were almost entirely
from Wisconsin, there being only
one or two exceptions, whilo the
greater majority came from near the
same community and are well ac
qiuaintod which makes the lite much
easier and agreeable for them. There
are many of them college graduates
and a few of them have had previous
military training, all are studious
and) anxious to learn and are working
hard to beoome proficient in their
duties. -..
As soon as the men have been
thoroughly Instructed -in their mili
tary diuties batteries will be formed
and It is expected that a large num
ber of men will be sent "over there"
some time during the summer. No
definite time has been announced but
all evidence pointB to the conclusion
that coast artillery troops now at
Fort Stevens will be In the autumn
drive. ...
- The company is exceedingly sorry
to lose Capt. J. A. Buchanan, who
left Sunday for Fortress Monroe, Vn.,
where he will receive training for
"over sea" duty. For the' last five
years he has been with the organi
zation maintaining It as one q( the
most efficient and strongest of the
national suard companies so that
upon Its muster Into the federal ser
vice, just nine months ago, It took
one of the foremast places among
the units of the coast artillery
corps. Ho was the first commander
to take his company out on active
duty when the oldl 4th was selected
for guard duty and has always been
assigned to one of the most vital
batteries of the fort. He has, dur
ing his stay at Fort Stevens, been
selected for some of the most dif
ficult and responsible tasks and has
always given his decisions and ac
complished his tasks in a manner
that proved him to be a capable and
trustworthy officer. Despite the fact
that he has been exceedingly busy he
has never been too greatly occupied
to give of his time to the men under
his command. No officers at the post
was so careful to care for the
health and personal comfort of his
men as Capt. Buchanan. At a time
when the men were undergoing the
severest test when they were forced
to go for days and nights at a
stretch, ceaselessly on guard, with
out sleep or rest, suffering from the
cold and wet of the most Inclement
weather, a time when nearly a third
of the company, dropping from sheer
exhaustion went to the hospital, two
of them dying from the effects of the
exposure, when, every man of the
company was sick but "going on
nerve" because or the work he was
called upon to do, Capt. Buchanan
worked harder than any person has
ever known to take care of them, to
protect their health Just as far as it
was possible for any numan to uo.
to provide every possible comfort
and relief that count oe proviuea
He was a company commander that
will seldom be equalled In the mill
tary service and tho members' of the
16th company who have been under
his command are extremely grateful
to him for the many kindnesses he
hps shown them and It is with the
greatest.rehictance that they see blm
depart.
The company Is now under the
command of First Lieut. Webster,
Second Llout. Smith and Second
Lieut. Harter. All are excellent of
ficers and; there la no doubt but that
they will "maxe good." ' I
Just because the people at home
are becoming accustomed to the
boys' absence, they do not want them
to forget that they are anxious to
hear from them. Their cry and plea
is "we wont mall, much mail, lots of
mall, a great quantity of mall and
all the other adjectives that could'
be used In connection with mall."
WILL WIN PRIMARIES
W. Givens, of Estacada, Ore., was
a visitor In Roseburg for a few hours
today. - Mr. Givens Is a personal
friend of R. N. Stanfleld, candidate
for senatorial honors on the republi
can ticket, and Is urging .voters to
support tho eastern Oregon stock
man. Mr. Givens stated that what
Oregon needs Is business men at the
helm, rather 'than bo many from the
legal profession, and he points to
the fact that H. N. Stanfleld Is a
broad-minded business man to whom
success has come aftor years of hard,
persistent work. He Is traveling by
auto, and left this afternoon for
points In the extreme southern part
of the state. It Is conceded, the gen
tleman asserted just before depart
ing, that Stanflold will carry all of
eastern Oregon, and It is believed, he
alleged, that Multnomah county will
give him a majority.

plated to pave that part of the street
now, tho fill does away with any fu

the grade and puts the street In con

THE PEOPLE ARE fINE
Going About Their Usual Work With
a Cheerfulness That Is Marvel
. ous Soil of France is Some
thing Fierce For Mud.
Sergeant Mar Hanan, son of Mr.
and Mrs. E. R. Hanan, of this city,
is now in France with the 27 th aero -squadron,
and probably Is among tho
troops moving up to help hold back
the Horn advance. But that Is alto
gether problematical. In a recent
letter two of them In fact,' written
March 28 and April 4 just received!
by the young soldier'') parents,' ho
tells of meeting other Roseburg and
Douglas county boys In France.
While not being able to give any In-
formation relative to arm affairs,
he writes interesting things relative
to conditions there. Lee Engles, son
of Lafo Engles, of Peeler Bob Har
greaves, a well known base ball en
thusiast of Roseburg; Frank Weaver,
son of a widely known Myrtle Creek
family, and Wilbur Haines, another
Douglas county lad, were quite re
cently met by young Honian., He
says all of the boys are in the best
of spirits and looking It In every re
spect The very fact that the men
get "United States grub" these days
helps to enliveu them. From this
statement it may be inferred that
they were not Jed on homeland pro
ducts for a time after their arrival.
Climatically, Sergeant ' Hanan
thinks France very nice, but the soil
Is something to be shunned. The
famous black land of Douglas coun
ty is silken beBlde the -red sticky sub
stance the French call soil, but nev
ertheless they work It patiently and
it produces wonderfully under pains
taking care. , , "
Situated as they are Sergeant
Hanan states that one hardly, real
izes that France Is at war. . Every
thing is going along in apparently
the usual manner. Business is good,
and agriculturists are farming their
land very much like they always did,
so far bb can be noted, and the peo
ple met with conduct themselves In
a manner that would In no way lead
one to suspect that only a couple of
hundred miles or so away the trag
edy of the ages Is being enacted.
The aptness of the French peoplo In
adapting themselves to the situation
tea marvel to the American soldier,
and they do not cease to wonder at
tho philosophical attitude of the na
tion that has so . far carried- the
greater burden of the world strug
gle. --
Sergeant Hnnna Is in charge of
the company miessj and therefore
does the buying for -his men, and
has to see to it that the funds keep
the boys well supplied with food. '
' In order that there shall be noth
ing lacking to make the home guard
militia just what it should be, and to
equip the organization for real busi
ness, a hospital corps was deemed
necessary. Accordingly this feature
has been addled, and- the corps Is un
der the direction of Drs. Sether and
Shoemaker. Any man who wants to
make himself useful to the govern
ment and learn something about llrst
aid work and methods employed In
caring for wounded men, will be wel
come to the corps. until the enlist
ment quota Is filled. It Is expected
that the corps will be made up cf
eighteen men. Several have alroady
joined the home guard In this capac
ity, but there Is room for a few mora
patriotic citizens. It is an excellent
opportunity for any citizen and there
ought to be no trouble in filling tho
quota. Application for membership
In the hospital unit of the home
guard shouldl be mado to either Dr.
Sether, Dr. Shoemaker, or to K, H.
Hufham. ' '
