28. Thore uro no outward inriira
tions which tend to show when or
where the (ionium command may
launch the next stroke against the al
lies. At present tho lighting along
the western trout Is confined to scat
tering local attacks, made mainly by
patrol parties. Over on the Italian

staggering . blow delivered against
them by Italy's army, is seemingly
content to allow the Italians to have
things pretty much their own way,
and are not taking the initiative in
any fighting there. Close observers
of the situation on the western front
rather expect tho next German drive
will be made somewhere between
Montdidicr and Ypres.' Further dis

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, May 29.
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press.) Moving picture operators
on German submarines at sea are late
additions to the U-boat fleets. Films
are marie of merchant vessel Binklngs
and taken home to be shown ttr the
German populace to give an Idea of
the dangers of the deep.
Details of how a German subma
rine of the larger type commandeered
the big Norwegian steamer Norefos
and used her as a tow boat for weeks
at a time In the Atlantic were related
here recently by members of her
crew. The Norefos was overtaken by
the German submarine oft the Canary
Islands early this year. Two Ger
man naval officers and fourteen sail
ors were sent aboard as a prize boat
crew.
Then the submarine departed on a
pirating exepdltlon, tho Germans on
the Norefos adjusting the wireless
apparatus so as to bo able to keep
In communication with the undersea
boat. On this trip the submarine
was gone eight days and upon her re
turn to the Norefos the sailors heard
that she had been in search of a Brit
ish fleet of merchantmen from the
other side of the Atlantic.
The submarine then tied up to the
Norefos and for two weeks the Nore
fos roamed the sea with the subma
rine in tow, as the U-boat wbb short
of fuel.
The Norefos soon ran short of fuel
and a effort was made to utilize green
peanuts from tho cargo, but they soon
developed a gas which caused num
erous Bimill explosions In the "Uro
boxes and created such a stream of
sparks through-the funnel that the
ship nearly caught nre. So no more
peanuts were used and for several
daB the Norofos wallowed along with
the wind and tide. When other ships
were sighted the Germans unfurled
the Norwegian flag.
After another two weeks' cruise
the U-boat returned to her "mother"
ship. After helping thomselves to a
part of the cargo of rubber, the prize
crew returned to the submarine, the
Norwegians were ordered into life
boats, and the Norefos was sunk by
three bombs exploded in her hold.
The motion picture operator on the
U-boat toolt film records of all the
important events, starting with the
seizure and the developments of the
voyage with each return of the U-boat
to the ship.
The Norwegian sailors were in
life boats several days, boing picked
up by a French steamer and several
weeks ago they arrived in Chrlstlania
after an absence of live months.

The war saving stamp regit-"
lations provide that no one per-
son can subscribe for less than
one stamp, which costs $4.17 in
June. But when these regula-
tlons were adopted they didn't
contemplate the penurious In-
genulty of certain people. Two
gentlemen of this city have
generously subscribed to one
stamp jointly. We aro not sur-
prised at this but we do ponder
how they split the stamp on
their books and who of the two
was credited with $2.09 worth
of patriotism and who with
$2.08. That the extra (s)ccnt
will attach Itself to either of
these patriots for some time
to come we have no doubt..

FIRE BLIGHT PEST

EARL PEARCY IN CHARGE

. mends Action of Court,' .
In an Intervlow with a News re
porter, yesterday, Judge R. W. Mars
ters stated' that the county court Is
making every effort to stamp out the
Ore blight which has been causing
the growers of Douglas county so
much trouble. .
"Every member of the county
court Is Interested," said Judge
Marsters, "for we feel that the fire
blight pest must be eradicated."
Some time ago the court gave Mr.
Earl Pearcy authority to patrol the
orchards of the county under his per
sonal supervision and to secure com
petent aid. This Mr. Pearcy has done
with splendid success. The county
court of Douglas county is to be com
mended for the stand they have taken
In Btamplng out this fruit disease.
This, however. Is only in keeping
with the attitude of the court in
making a bettor county.
The following letter shows the at
titude of the chief . of the dIvtslon.,of
horticulture, O. A. 0., in regard to
the action taken by the county court
regarding the fire blight situation:
Corvollls, Ore, June 25, 1918.
County Court, Douglas County,
Roseburg, Oregon.
Oontlemen: I wish to write to you
at this time and commend your stand
on the blight question. I am very
ploased to learn of the vigorous at
tempts your representative, Mr, Earl
Pearcy, U taking to Stamp out this
post. ' I believe he 1b going about
this in Just tho right way, In organiz- '
Ing a force who know what they are
doing. I am sure by the early flglit.
It will be a groat saving not only to
the county but to tho growers.
If this disease, once gets a strong
hold In your region It will be a very
expensive proposition 'to control it.
By striking hard this early you are
taking the right step.
I remember, a few years in the
Hood River valley whon it. came
on so badly, that a vigorous attack
on the part of the growers cleaned It
up entirely nnd they have had prac
tically no trouble since. I know an
other valley where they let It go and
It meant the expenditure of thousands
of dollars and even now they have
the disease to contend with.
I am sure the fruit growers of
your county will approve this stand
that you are taking and the work
that your county fruit Inspector Is do
ing at thla time.
With kind regards, i remain
Slncoroly yours,
