who are anxious to learn the correct
address of Mr. Samuel Shove. The
inquiry states that mail addressed
to the gentleman at Portland has
been returned unclaimed. How the
technical society came to address the
sheriff is not known, but evidently
someone gave the Chicago people the
right steer, as the orncer can prob
auly tell as much as anybody regard
ing the whereabouts of Sam. At
present, and for some months past,
the sheriff' will" inform tne Chicago
Technical Society, Mr. Samuel Shove
has been the chief clerk at the Hotel

hotel is not a regular nor a popular
stopping place for travelling men,
neither did Mr. Shove select It aa his
abode. But anyway the gentleman
Is making the Hotel d'Quine his
headquarters, and In ordter to pre
vent any lapses the outside entrance
is locked, and the key hung up out
of reach of the inmates of the
aostelry."
In answer to the Gnlcago people.
Sheriff Quine wrote as follows:
"Answering your inquiry of Sep
tember 10. relative to the present
address of one Samuel Shove.
-'Beg to advise you that the above
mentioned Samuel Shove shoved Mb

$150 and attempted to "shove" the
check on a 'prominent citizen as the
preliminary purchase price of the
leading hotel, and then started to
shove himself out of the county, but
shoved himself Into my hands, and I
immediately shoved him Into the
jail, and! since that time he has tried
to shove himself out of jail by filing
off several bolts, but we succeeded In
shoving him back again, and he now
remains In jail. His present address

Units of American Army Had
to Move Fast to Keep up
With Troops.
GERMANS HURLED OUT
On Keeping Contact With the Enemy
Our Forces Move From One
Shell Torn Village to Another
With Much Rapidity.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 8. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) The
headquarters of the units of the
merican army in the Marne sector
had to hustle to keep up with the
American troops In the fighting when
the Germans were hurled out or
that salient and across the Vesle
river.
In keeping contact with the enemy
the American headquarters moved
from one shell torn village to an
other. In most Instances, the build
ings or parts of buildings, had been
occupied by German officers only a
day or two before.
Previous to moving from one town
to another telephone wires had been
strung, or laid, so that, while the
divisional officers were in the actual
process of moving, the two headquar
ters In the two villages were In com-!
munlcation with each other until the
task was completed.
After the telephone, and possibly
telegraph Instruments, had been In
stalled the commanding officer would
go forward to the advanced station
with a few assistants and then oth
ers would follow in, relays, each de
partment bringing its books and
papers, maps and other accessories of
Its particular branch.' Transporta
tion was by automobile and was
only a minor incident of the mov
ing. In one instance the entire trans
fer of a divisional headquarters was
accomplished in less than three
hours, the telephone connection hav
ing been acocmpllshed the day pre
vious. In the case of a corps headquar
ters the commanding officer moved
Into new quarters one morning while
soldiers werrepalrtng the roof.
damaged two days before by a Gen-
man shell. Telephones In working
order with the village to the rear
from which the corps was moving
awaited the commanding officer
when he arrived. Soon afterward
officers and field clerks with cases
of documents and papers of the dif
ferent departments began to arrive
and before noon the conps was work
ing as smoothly as it had been the
night before 16 or 20 miles away and
without having been out of commu
nication with any of its units even for
a second.
In addition to the telephone and
telegraiph the wireless apparatus has
been set up, carrier pigeons were
ready to.be taken to the front as
another means of communication,
couriers on motorcycles were going
and coming as if upon their speed
rested the outcome of the war, and
maps were on the walls within the
house.
Each of the commander's assist
ants had his room and his collapsible
desk in order, every clerk was on
the job, portable desks and cases
full of papers were In their respec
tive place, beds had been made, and.
In the yard under canvas, tables
were set and the cook was mixing
diough for biscuits for supiper. And
that night a motor and generator on
a truck buzzed outside and the men
on night duty had electric lights by
which to see to carry on dove-tailed
details being worked out to whip the
Germans.
DEE HEDGPETH GIVEN
A 30 DAYS SENTENCE
A brief statement In the Oregon
tan today carries the information
that De Hedgepeth, of this cits', who
recently refused to accept military
training, had been sentenced by Fed-
eral Judge Bean to serve 30 days in
the Multnoman county jail ana men
be Inducted into the army. It will
be remembered that the young man
positively refused to respond to tho
call of the county draft board, and
was placed under arrest by Sheriff
Quine. Efforts of the officers to in
duce the young man to change his
mind were unavailing, and he was
then turned over to the federal of
ficers and taken to Portland, file
hearing was had only yesterday, ac
cording to the Oregontan. Just
where the lad will be sent for mill
tary training Is problematical. That
he was not alone In his determina

evidenced by the fact that two other

FOR SATURDAY PARADE
' The Honor Guard girls held tbolr
regular meeting last evening at the
armory with a good attendance. Aft

planned for the paradte to be held
Saturday night on the strets of the

satisfaction of everyone, and It wan
decided to have a large float decorat

girls and women dressed in patriotic
costumes. The secretary also read
an announcement that It was expect
ed of the girls to raise the Bum of

convalescent hospitals of this state
which will care for the Oregon boys
wounded at the front. No perman

location of these hospitals, but
wherever located the girls will send

been formulated to raise thlB money,
but will not .be mentioned until a

LORRAINE!. Sent. 18. That
the Germans had made up their
minds that they would never be
ousted from the St. Mihiel sa-
lieut Is amply proven In the
manner they had fixed un their
quarters. They had built Bhel-
ters. beer gardens and resorts
where they could pass their
time in comparative ease. In
some instances dugouts of the
officers had been fitted up lux-
uriously with bath tubs, and
electric lights were provided.
Little summer houses had been
built near the dugouts, and
there the officers apparently
spent many - congenial hours
drinking beer and speculating
on the impossibility of Amerl-
can troops ever getting up cour-
age enough to attack the "In-
vincible" forces of the kaiser
quartered In the salient.'

train No. 53 to pass, deparfud f'om

feet west of weKt itwitch, Rico Hill,
at 9:30 a. m.
Testimony of crow Is1 to the effect
that speed at time of derailment was
eighteen miles per hour, and that a
reduction of eight pounds was i:iudo
about the time road engine was pass
ing over west switch at Rl:e Hill.
Further that all members of crew

Track at this point was Inspected
by section foreman on morning of

It is the opinion of this board that

I made 11 bulls eyes out of 12 shots
at Blx hundred yards range, so I don't
lay down my old gat for any of

sniper-If I ever get to France, but I
guess ns far as that's concerned 1
won't get to France very soon. Well,
I suppose you am pretty busy In
