FIGHTING VERY VIOLENT
Enemy Rapidly Being Worn Out By
Constant Attacks of Franco
- Americans Paying Big
Toll In laves.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, July 84 Although 15
fresh Gorman divisions have been
thrown Into the fight in the last two
days In .tope of stemming the allied
advance, Franco-Americans are stead-
. ily going forward in the region be
tween Koissom and Ithoims, was the
statement made by (Jeneml March
today, tionnun forces nre ncsenrate-
ly trying to-retain their hold on the
only railway lino remaining to incm.
and over which heavy material can
oe moved in their rotrcat. : The loss
of this railway to the allies would
compel tlie enemy .to abandon untold
quantities of war munitions. - This
one remaining lino of railway com
munication is the allies objective just
now, and as it runs from Fismes, ap
proximately midway !betwecn. ois
sons and Blieims, southward to the
river, its importance as a source of
supply for the Germans can hardly
be estimated. With the allies in con
trol of tills railroad. the Germans re
maining in the salient will Iks effec
tually pocketed, cut off from food and
munitions bases and helpless. Cap
ture of Boissons Is secondary to pos
session of the railway and the Franco
American drive is headed toward the
prize. .. .
IAJPPRTANT GAINS MADE.
Paris, July 84. The fighting yes
terday resulted In important gains
being made by the allies, and the
combat was oven more violent than
-that oeourrlng?during-the''lfaich and
May offensives undertaken, by the
Germans, when thoy advanced many
miles toward Paris. Under the con
stant and apparently tireless attacks
of the Franco-AmeHcan troops the
German's are1 rapidly being worn out,
and although they may delay the In
evitable retreat by paying a costly
price in lives, the Huns will soon he
obliged to straighten out their lines
between ltheims and Bolssons. Thou
sands of men have already been sac
rificed in the vain endeavor to hold
the allies In check along this front.
Northwest of Montdldler the French
picked up over 1500 prisoners iiv a
victory that was won with almost In
significant losses. In the hist three
days fighting British troops have
captured 1100 Germans. Anticipat
ing an ultimate retreat, Germans con
tinue to burn food supplies and mu
nitions within their salient.
HAMMER ENEMY FLANKS.
With the American Army, July 34.
French, British and American
troops are still actively engaged in
hammering away at. the enemy flank.
Although the offensive has been
slowed down by tho weight of the
German reserves, the allies are con
tinuing to advance. The Germans
are known to have brought up fresh
troops to support their hard pressed
divisions at some points, but the al
lies report the situation favorable. .

that it is estimated that August
calls for drafted men, will be fully
as heavy as the calls for July and
local boards are urged to rush the
medical examination of all recent
class one draft registrants and men
who have been placed In class one by j
re-classlfication. From all lndica- j
tlons of the telegram the local board;
is in advance of other boards In the
state in its work. I
- Advisory boards are requested to
speed up in examining the question
naires that yet remain. These are
all class 4 registrants, the advisory
board having already acted upon
class two and three questionnaires.
The classification of the 1918 class
of registrants has been completed.
There are sttll a few more class two
and three names In the hands of tho
district board at Eugene to be acted
upon. Some of these, the district
board has written to the local board'
for more data concerning them be
fore acting upon the re-classiflcation.
The local board is busy today giving

message direct from the western bat
tle front, and will tell the fathers and
mothers of soldier boys all about the
conditions over there effecting the
comfort and happiness of the Ameri
can boys, who have gone out from
our homes to fight the battle for
democracy. Just now this message is
of supreme importance to us of
America, for the reason that more
than a quarter of a million of our
brave Bons are In the thick of the
fighting lines. In one city recently
Mr. Wirt talked1 for three hours, and
the audience demanded that he
should continue even longer. . Members-
of the Red Cross chapters will

BEFUDDLING GERMANS
Calculated to Detract Attention From
Itonl Situation Confronting the
" Central Powers Franco
Americans Keep Up Fight.
(By Associated Press.)
Amsterdam, July B4. Germany
has made suggestions to the Spanish
government looking to- a peace con
ference, according to tho socialist
paiier Vorwaerta, of Berlin, Germany
wants no annexations or indemnities
in the west. - On the other hand, how
ever, she demands tliat peace treaties
made with Russia and Boumania be
left ns thoy stand. Fi'eedom of the
seas is demanded, and all other ques
tions are proposed to bo settled by
conference.
Regarding other peace questions
the suggestions are: The principle of
self determination of the people
where the issue has not been discuss
ed, but this matter may be settled at
the proposed conference of the pow
ers, where the fate of Belgium, may
also be disposed of. The Balkan sit
uation will be settled In conference.
Germany wants the freedom of the
seas, the dismantling of Gibraltar
and til Suez canal, and the right for
Germany to use any naval coaling
station. - The colonial question, in
volving Germany's South African
colonies, to be settled cm a basis of
status quo. - The Vorwaerts states
that tills Is a very reasonable peace
program. '
HUN CUNNING DETECTED.
v Washington, July 24.1 The latest
effort of Germany - in proponing a
peace conference to the Spanish gov
ernment, is looked upon 4n Washing
ton administration circles as exceed
ly raw .work. It is easy to detect
the nature of peace that is proposed,
and the suggestions offered by the
Berlin government wherein it is pro
posed to leave the main questions to
a round table conference of diplo
mats is seen to be merely a scheme
appealing to the pacifists of the en
tente nations and at th same time
calculated to quiet the restlessness of
the socialistic clement within the
ccntrni powers. The entire proposi
tion oifored by Germany is considered
In tho light of creating dissatisfac
tion among the people of the allied
nations, nnd to that extent weakening
the otherwise constantly increasing
determination to fight the war
through to a point where Germany
will abjectly accept any peace terms
that may be offered. . , ,
GERMAN SITUATION CRITICAL.
Associated Press War Lead, July
24. From unofficial sources it Is re
ported that rainy weather of the lust
few days has slowed up the fighting
a good deal, and it is considered
more than probable that the
same cause has retarded German re
tirement from tho pocket creatdi by
th allied offensive. Franco-Amrlcan
airmen say that the conditions be
hind the enemy lines Indicate a Ger
man retreat as far as the Vesle river.
The Hun line at th. Ourcq river has
been rendered untenable by the al
lied advance near Oulchy-le-Chateau
and Oulchy-le-VHe. Entente troops
have reached the south bank of the
Crise river, south of Soissons, and
when the stream is crossed occupa
tion of that supply base will doubt
less be short lived, and then the
Huns will be forced to fall back to
the Aisne. The German casualties
during the day's fighting is estimated
at 180,000 men killed and wounded
and taken prisoners. 1 .

Resolution to Close Galesville
v Canyonville From 8 a. m.
5 p. m Not Approved.
COUNTY COURT'S PLAN
V. 8, Deportment Holds Tlmt Travel
for Part of Day Would Be Ex
tremely Dangerous If Not Iin
possible Court Advised. -
A short time ago the county court
passed a resolution that the Qales-ville-Canyonville
road be closed be
tween the hours of 8 a. m. and 6
p. m., during the course ot construc
tion. This resolution was forwarded
to the Btate highway commission, and
from that body communicated to the
U. S. department of public roads.
That it did not meet the approval
of that body is evidenced by the fol
lowing letter: - .
Portland, Ore., July 22, 1918.
"Board (of Country Commissioners,
"Rosoburg, Oregon. ' .
"Gentlemen:
"Since writing you on the ICth
relative to the closing ot the Cunyon-vllle-Gulesville
road during construc
tion, 1 have had a conference with
Dr. Hewes of the office of public
roads, and from him learned of the
county Judge's letter to Mr. Benson,
of the state highway commission, in
which It was agreed to close the rond
between 8 o'clock a. in. and G o'clock
p. m. each day. This is a different
procedure than the one outlined in
my letter of the 10th. Over much
of the Canyonville-Qalesvllle road
the new construction Is Identical
with the' existing road in location.
In some places 'changes in grade are
considerable and It would be extreme
ly difficult to conduct the work in
such a manner as to allow of the use
of the road during portions of the
day.- This is particularly true ulourr
the steep slopes of the canyon and
wherever - there . are considerable
changes in grade. It Is doubtful If
contractors would be willing to bid
under this arrangement, and in any
event conditions would be such as
to make travel dangerous if not Im
possible. It la Iprobable that the
heavy portions of thlB work will be
done . by steam shovel, and undor
these conditions it is believed to be
Impossible to conduct the work"so
as to throw the road open for traffic
during portions of each day. In
case of failure of contractors to bid
on this construction the . office ot
public roads is unwilling to proceed
with construction by day labor un
less it is possiblo to close the road
entirely during certain periods of
time. Wherever re-location of the
line occurs it will be possible to pro
ceed with the new construction and
still maintain travel along the old
road. This would mean, that the en
tire closing of the road would need
to extend only over a portion of the
construction period. - The Columbia
highway hns been closed to traffic
for some little time this year due to
the necessities of construction, and
it would seem that this would act as
a sufficient precedent for a similar
closing of tbe Canyonvllle.-Galesvllle
road during times when the construc
tion is such that It would ue Imprac
ticable to allow travel to pass. I
suggest that the county court con
sider the adoption of a resolution
declaring Its willingness and inten
tion to close-the Canyonvilie-0nl-s-ville
road at such times as tho en
gineers In charge of construction
mi-V believe that such closing Is a
necessity In order to carry on the
construction efficiently and safely.
"Your early consideration of this
matters is respectfully requested In
order to expedite construction work
on this project,
"Very truly yours,
"PHILIP H. DATER,
"District Engineer."
' This communication to hand aft
er an article on another page had
gone to press.- Just what the final
outcome will be In reference to this
matter will be awaited with deep In
terest by Douglas county people,
Apparently without knowledge of
the rules and precedents governing
procedure in the American Red
Cross organizations, some persons,
doubtless with the best of intentions,
have organized themselves Into
classes for training, designed to ren
der them fit to afford first aid ser
vice, either to themselves or to other
persons In need of Such - help, and
having pursued courses of training
chosen by themselves, have then ap
plied to division headquarters ot the
RED CROSS FIRST AID
ASPIRANTS, NOTICE
northwestern division for certificates
of fitness. ' . ' - '
Of course, it devolves upon the
divisional officers of the organisation
tedecline to furnish these certificates
as requested, entirely apart from all
consideration of the fitness of the
persons making application and sim
ply because of the deviation trdTn the
required procedure Involved in such
cases. . .
First aid organizations regularly
authorized by the ' American Red
CroBs secure their ofllolal ldontity by
conforming strictly to the directions
given by the chairmen of the chap
tors In which bucIi units are formed
and- in no'other way. Full Informa
tion as to the proper method of pro
cedure in this behalf is obtainable at
all times at chapter headquarters. It
would be well, therefore, for personB
who nave become members of first aid
units that have not been duly author
ized, to effect valid organizations of
their respective units without delay
and thereafter to apply for certifi
cates, with their credentials duly val
idated. ;
It will be a special pleasure of the
official organizations of the Ameri
can Red Cross, at all times, to facili
tate. In every way, the realization of
the desire of all fit applicants to ren
der first aid service, and to grant
certificates asked' whenever appli
cants be found qualified for the
