German Loss 100,000.
(By Associated Press.)
OPERATION IS INDEFINITE.
WITH THE AMERICAN
ARMY IN FRANCE, July 17.
The German attack on the 4
American lorces today 1b in the
region where counter attacks 4
were made by our lorces yes- '4
terday and the enemy has made 4
v slight gains at some places, 4
but elsewhere on the battle line 4
the Americans pushed their
way back and are delivering
gallant and telling blows on the
enemy's forces. The lineB have 4
4 been wavering back and forth 4
for Rio past 24 hours and the
4 result of the entire operation is
still indefinite. 4
.
Although the enemy attacks have
been desperate and hundreds of
thousands of men have been hurled
against the allied lines regardless of
the loss of troops in both killed and
wounded, for 48 hours the German
masses havo been held by the
Franco-American armies opposing
the Huns along li. 00-mile front. The
battle of the Morae, by which the
Germans hoped to push their way
close to the gates of Paris, has thus
far proven a defeat for Hindenburg's
hordes. A tremendous toll lit lives
lias been paid by the Germans in
their fruitless offensive, and not'only
thls fact Is established, but the enemy
units which were turned back from
the direction of Paris, and ure now
endeavoring to ascend the Marne
river, find themselves confronted by
Thb opposing French, who are con
tinuing to punish the Huns and liar
rass them ill their retreat. The po
sitions of the German columns which
gained a- footing on the south bank
of the river are hourly becoming
more perilous, and the situation of
the enemy at those points is little
short of a trap, and capture of those
units is not a remote probability.
Kast of Kheims the repeated efforts
of Germans to ndvanco hnve success
fully been foiled, and the dishearten
ed and terribly punished Huns find
the way blocked by the determined
troops from America, meet the enemy
with an inborn confidence of victory
and the skill and persistence of vet
erans. West of Rnolms Uie'enemy
lias been able to make comparatively
slight progress. The allied method
of defense has proven wonderfully
efficacious, and there are no breaches
in the lines.
100,000 GOOD GERMANS.
London, July 17.-3erman cas
ualties in the past two days fighting
have been enormous, and military
experts estimate that the Huns lost
fully 100,000 men. At the river
crossings and In their offensive work
the Germans were slaughtered and
literally piled up in , places. The
American machine gunners and in
fantrymen wasted no lead, but coolly
waited for the mass formation of the
enemy lines to get close in and then
did business with them. Reports also
stated that In front of French posi
tions where Germans made Some ad
vance, their dead were left hanging
in the barbed wire entanglements and
piled up on the ground in front of
French defenses.

The regular weekly meeting of the

held in their rooms at the armory,
last evening a very small crowd be
ing in attendance. The meeting was
opened by President Helen uest,
and several cards of tfianks to the
girls from the boys "over there"
were read aloud. The question of
how to provide something for the
draft boys to go out of here this next
month, was taken up, and a motion
was passed upon It that sweaters be
given each. There are only about 14
sweaters on hand at present, and
there being 72 boys to leave, they
will draw. to see who is lucky in se
curing the present amount, then from
time to time the girls will knit the
remaining amount which will be sent
to them after entering training.
The girls decided to give a dance or
provide some way in the near tuture
to secure some money. This mutter
will be taken up more fully at the
next meeting. There will not be a
regular business meeting next Tues
day evening owing to a swimming
party and weiner roast, in which all
Honor Guard girls are asked to par
ticipate. Announcements as to exact
time of meeting will be. given out
later in the week. .

TO UPHOLD TRADITION
United States Troops Swept Germans
Off Their Feet and Carried the
Colors to Point Hnlf
Mile In Adrvimce.
. (By Associated Press.)
Purbi, July' 17. After the Huns
hud temjKJrarily forced the United
States troops back for a short dis
tance, Monday, the French com
mander notified the American, of
ficer in cliargo of the men that he
was not expected to immediately
launch A counter attack, as It could
be postMned without any risk, thus
giving the Americans, who had been
lighting hard, a chance to rest. The
officer in command of the United
States troops sent a return message
saying1: "We regret being unable to
follow (ho counsels of our masters,
the French, but the American flaf
has been forced temjKrrily to re
tire. This situation is unendurahh :
to us, and the soldiers would not
understand on not being asked to do
wliatever was necessary to re-eutab-ish
the situation, which would be hu
miliating to us and unacceptable to
our country's honor. We are going
to counter attack." Almost before:
the terse and determined message
was delivered to the French com
mander the American-unit was 'mov
ing nguinst the enemy. .Every man
.apparently felt that the honor of
(the flag depended upon himself, and
the way those American r.ushed the
Kuns was amazing. ..The startled
ches, gratified, over their suppos
ed victory, were startled by a wall of
cold steel ami a leaden hail from
machine guns and rifles. There
was no stopping tho human ava
lanche of yoimg American manhood,
the front lines of the Uerman ad
vance wan swept out of existence,
the cry of "kamrade" fell on deaf
ears as the columns moved forward
on the double quick and a trail of
death and destruction was left in
the wake of these rapid fire Yankees.
The troops 'not only retook their orig
inal positions, but the folds of the
stars and striiies were carried for n
full half mile into the enfemy ground
beyond, and there the flog was plant
ed anew.

Associated Press War Lend, July
17. The German offensive no long
er has the character of a general at
tack, according to entente observers

itself Into a series of comparatively

siderable achievement, however. The
enemy are now turning their main
strength against the Itheims salient,
and hare approached the city some
what, having gained ground slightly
In two places. According to lierlln
claims J 3,000 prisoners were enn

NATIONAL LEAGUE
WOMEN'S SERVICE
Mrs. 0. C. Brown and Mrs. A,
C. Marsters Will Aid In
Organizing Branch.
VERY IMPORTANT WORK
This League Works With Kvory
Other Branch of War' Work
Canning of Fruit and Veget
ables for KohliersUrgcd.
A letter was received this morn
ing by Mrs. 0. C. Brown and Mrs.
A. C Marsters, of this city from
Mrs. P. li. Campbell, pt Eugene,
president of the National League
for Women's service, asking those
ladies to aid in organizing a branch
chapter of that organization in
Roseburg. The following letter fully
explains the purpose of this very im
portant branch of war work:
"I ain writing to beg you to take
up some very important war work
through the National League for
Woman's Service.
"Tile league Is an association which
is purely co-ordinating, one which
workB with every other branch of
woman's war work, which strength
ens and aids, seeks to avoid all dupli
cation, and fills in all gaps. It is
the broadest work of all that Is be
ing done, it seems to me, for there
is no red tape, and each community
works out its own n'eedB. There is
close co-operation with the ' Red
Cross, with the Fosdick commission,
with tho woman's committee-of the
Council of Defense, with the food ad
ministration, and many others. With
the latter organization and with the
Woman's Committee of National De
fense, It urges that every family put
up everything possible ror its own
consumption, but .the 'National Lea
gue for Woman's Service goes one
step farther and Bays, put up more
than you can possibly use, and- give it
to the soldiers. We are asking that
every ounce of food, fruits and veget
ables from all the small home gar
dens, r In war gardens be preserv
ed, so that the output of the can
neries may be released for govern
ment use. . - .
. "We want every town to have Us
canning center where thiB work may
be done by groups of women, and
done up to Red Cross standards. Find
groups of women, ten or twelve, who
will work with some leaders who
understand canning, -have some cen
tral place where people who can
spare fruit or vegetables, can tele
phone, have good motor corps, with
ca-ptalna and lieutenants, who may
bo called- upon in relays, to gather
up these Btores, and put up every
ounce of food for the boys. These
frultB and vegetables may be used In
any way that your local board de
cides, but either for the soldiers In
camps or In hospltnls, or th'ey may
be sold for the benefit of the Red
Cross, or used for soldiers' families
tnrough the civilian relief division.
"We are to work In close connec
tion with all . county Dome demon
stration agents, and Miss Milam Is
our state chairman for home econom
ics. We aro to have every Grange in
the state organized through Mrs.
Bond, and hope through them to
reach all boys' and girls' canning
cluljs. We want also to induce every
housewife to set as'lle a few Jars for
soldiers each time she puts up fruit
of vegetables, and wo hope to have
each canning club do the same. The
boards of all county fairs are to be
requested to donate all fresh fruit
and vegetables and all canned fruits
and jellies to the boys.
I "There are other very Interesting
phases of the work, but to preserve
all possible food Is the first duty
this year. In order to do this, blanks
for service have been made and will
be filled out by women who are will
ing to aid In any way, Every woman
who Is not doing her full share of
work should be called upon to regis
ter In the league and do her part.
She should be made to feel that to
hold back Is to be a real slacker,
with all this Implies! No one who Is
taking a leading part In .Red Cross
work should be called from her work
except to take some very responsible
position In the league, where her ex
ecutive ability would count.
"The league will put up all fruit
juices, blackberry, loganberry and
grape juice for the hospitals In
camps; this juice being bottled and
sealed with sealing wax. Groups will
be formed to gather wild black
berries to be canned, and to assist
In picking other fruit when neces
sary. Other-groups will make gar
ments for overseas relief and all of
the workers and the motor corps will
be at the servlceof commercial clubs
In Red Cross and liberty loan drlveB,
and will aid the men's organizations
In every possible way, working clo&O'
ly with them in every patriotic en
deavor. In the overseas work tho
garments are for refugees, and can
be made of any cloth, old or new.
and Red Cross patterns are to be
used. In this way we are aiding the
American Committee for Devastated
France.
"All this and more Is waiting for
us, and all the enthusiasm and heart
which we can pour Into this big work
should be brought to bear,
"The membership 1b on the same
basis as that of the Red Cross, but
there are volunteer helpers who pay
nothing. We are not insisting upon
paid membership this year because
the work must be done, and done b
many."
Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Marstersi al
though very busy women, at pres
ent connected with other branchei
of war work, havo very patrlotlcall)
consented to aid in the organlzatiot
of the Koseburg branch of the Na
tional League for Women's Service.
GEO. H. FALUN WRITES

front line of trenches. I will write
to John and IDrnest if I can find out
where they are stationed over here;
You can see observation balloons and
aeroplanes being 'brought down on
both sides of the line every day."'
At this point in his letter the
young soldier forgets all about war
for a moment " and Ills thoughts
travel across -the Atlantic and the
continent to the girls of his home
community, ana ne says: "Uive my
love to Clnlro Fullerton and all the
girls around. If there are any left
that I know. Tell them that I still
love them all." '
Banishing tho home girls the sol
dier continues: "Up at the front one
day a German airplane came down in
flames. I started for my dugout,
but turned in time to see the ma
chine fall In a field near by. The
aviators were killed. Did you read
about the marines going over the top-
wlth wreaths of popples on their
hats and raising . the very devil?
When the Infantry went over the top
