THE ECONOMY MARKET The other day a typical German soldier, rather more than lesB Intel ligent in manner and appearance than the average. Jumped into an Ameri can trench near Cantigny, says the Stars and Stripes in a recent issue. He had been part of a German pa trol, and -he -had lost his way in the midnight darkness. He fell square ly Into the welcoming arms of an American lieutenant who, as battal ion scout, was waiting there for his own raiding party to return. A little later the Yanlc was on MB way to the rear, with his prisoner trotting silently in tow, when a Ger man shell burst close beside then;, seriously wounding the American and sending the boche .scampering to cover. From this cover the latter emerged! cautiously after a few mo ments, and, -as the lieutenant called hlm, oame trotting over. The lieutenant spoke German. "I am wounded here In both legs," he said, "and there's a nasty wound In my arm. Will you get out your tournhftiet and stop this bleeding, and then get aut mine, and see what you oan do with it?" The German worked quicaiy ana effectively at his task. Growing bolder, the lieutenant told him where he would find the P. C explained that he could get litter bearers there, and asked him to take the call for help. Off the prisoner went in tne aarx- ness, and the lieutenant, knowing that it would lie , only too possible tor him to escape through the lines to his own territory, wondered what would become of the mission. He knew when, before the wait had be came intolerably long, the litter boys appeared, explaining that the German had come back with them far enough to point otrt- the place where the lieutenant lay. Then he had been shipped off to the rear. The lieutenant was- so erateiui that he insisted feverishly on word being sent along the line that the prisoner should be treated with spe cial consideration, and a message to Mils effect kept the wires' busy for the next few moments between regl- ental, brigade and divisional headi- quarters. Back at divisional 'Headquarters the next day the prleoner was exam ined In the room they devote to that work a shabby morsel of a room, lurnlBhed with little beside a matress on the floor and no end of maps on the wall. After they had drained him dry of all the information he' possessed about the deposition, or troopsobe hlnd the German front line, the of ficer conducting the inquiry brought up the story of the man's capture and the humane work he had done. It did not seem to be one of thoBe cases of a spiritless boche passion ately anxious to be captured. "Why did you do it?" was the question. The German soldM opened his eyes in mild surprise. "Why," he replied," I. was ordered to." . s. s. The following letter, which 1b self- explanatory has been received at Bed Cross headquarters: We are pleased to advise you that during the past month there has been credited to the account of your county $122,920.99. This makes ap proximately 52 per cent of your quota. For your information we might add that cash sales for the state dur ing the month of July were over J3,240,838.27 making the state fifty per cent of their quota of $17,244,- 780 ' A continuation for the remainder of the year of the hearty support re ceived from the county chairmen will -Dlace your county and Oregon well over the top. We believe that it. is not necessary to emphasize the great lesson this' campaign is teaching the people, in addition to supplying our government with the necessary funds to carry on the war. we will en: deavor from now on to advise yon each time there is an amount -credit ed to your county. ?
