that 106,986 men between the
ages of 18 and ill and ill and
46 registered in the state on
September 12. Tho figures com-
piled in advance of the registra-
tion estimated that Oregon
would furnish 84,404. Accord-
lng to .these figures Oregon in
to the good 22,682. ,
the less, since 60 per cent of the
corps la composed of young men, re
cruiters are urged to be careful
about accepting 'middle aged men,
except thoBO who are sturdy, intelli
gent and exceptionally well qualified
physically. With a limited quota
and an inetxhqustlble Ireservoir to
draw from and in view of the diffi
culties in discharging the unfit,- by

Sept. 28, Serbian trooiw and their
utiles In central Macedonia have dealt
such severe blows to tlie enemy lines
f communication ,in tluit tlieutre of
tlie war aa to comiel tlie Germans
and Bulgarians to readjust their po
sitions. On the western front the
allies are progressing successfully In
tlie encirclement of tit. Quentln, In
Macedonia the drive against tlie Bul
garian lines at 8okol lias widened
out until tlie allies are now advanc
ing on a front nearly fifty miles
long, extending from cast of Mona
stir to tho Vardar river. In Palestine
moving northward with surprising
speed and! power, tho British have
completely routed tho Turks and
dealt a blow Unit may be more fur
reaching in its effects than now
seems posKible. The Turks apiear to
have been thoroughly demoralized
and the march of British and French
Arab troos toward tlie sea of Tiber
ias is now virtually unopjwsed. The
British have passed Nazareth and are
approaching Tyre, The capture of
AuinuHcuM una Beyreut, which is now
imminent, would moan tlie complete
disorganization of tlie Turkish ma
chinery of war on a wide area. In
fact, General Allenby has practically
wicdL out the enemy forces,' opposing
him in Palestine, and disaster threaU
ens Uie Turks in that part of the war
zone. The operations In the Holy
Land may firing about iMilitlcnl re
sults, tlint will far- out-weigh all mili
tary objectives. There may be much
truth in tlie reports now persistent
tluvt Bulgaria andi Turkey are ready
to retire from the war; Since tlie al
lies have succeeded in driving a
wedge between tlie eastern and west
ern flanks of the German-Bulgarian
forces In Macedonia, sensational re
sult may be expected in Bulgaria at
any time,
40,000 TURKS TRAPPED.

thousand Turkish prisoners and 2(10
pieces of artillery have been counted
by tho British, and tlie seventh and
eighth Turkish armies in Palestine

is Indicated by reports from Palest Ina
today that none of tiie forty thousand
Turks trapped by Uie British tlirouKh
tlie seizure of Uie last of the cross
ings of the Jordan river can posslbly
get away. Nazareth has been captur
ed anil British cavnJry J pushing for

nihilated by Uie successes of Allen
hy's troops In Palestine, according to
dispatches from Uio front.

Portrayed in an Entertain

GOING OVER THE TOP
The Captain Gave a Thrilling Ac
count of- Experiences Previous to
"Zero Hour" and Touched
ImHrtant Buttle Events.
The capacity of the hlgh school
auditorium was taxed to the limit
Saturday evening when Captain T. E.
Y. 6eddon, or the New Zealand divis
ion of the British army, addressed
the people of Hoseuurg most inter
estingly on some of hiB experiences
over there. Captain SeMon saw ser
vice in -Egypt, and on the weatern
front at Armentiers, at the famous
battle of the Somme, and took part
in the Btruggle at Amiens.
Wlhen Captain Seddon, who was
Introduced by Rev. Hilton, of the
Christian Church, arose, he wafl met
by a storm of applauBe, which he
received after the most engaging
fashion. In- speaking of the blatant
Incredulity of the German high com
mand as to the power of tho English
muster their colonies to their assist
ance in the great war, Captain Sed
don said, "When the newi of the
overrunning of Belgium was procent
ed to the Great Britain of tho South,
a storm of indignation swept over
our little country and v-e began to
question, 'What can we do?' We
had 3,000 boys, seasoned and train
ed, anH they answered tho query by
boarding Uiree transports and sail
ing out. into the Pacific, v. here they
captured one of the Gerninii holdings
there, the first enemy land, we are
proud to say, that had then pasted
into the hands of the allies. Our
army now coiihuhb of 10,000 i ncruitn,
who have answered the call of freer
dom and thrniothor country:' : J"
"Germany is a monace,(iii the Pa
cific, a menace to trade ami pencil
and it is a part of the accomplish
ment of the allies to conip.Ulely dis
arm hor there, and it 1b o. more con
cern to the United Suitmt ihr.n any
other nation."
Referring to the recent expedition
against the Dnrdiunellea, which was
deemed a miserable failure by most
observers, Captain Seddon said: "This
expedition was not a failure for it
proved thnt a landing could be ef
fected there, which had been consid
ered an iiiigiosiblo ntfulnmenc for
years, guarded as it wa by the vigil
ant and barbarous Turks, Our boyB
dug themselves Into the fau-J and
hudi It not been for the summer pes
tilence, followed by the unbearable
rains of the wlntor, the victory would
have been reversed. Furlhormc ro.
we kept the Turks employed there,
when they mlHht have been joining
forces on the French front."
When the transport upon which
Captain Seddon was being sent with
his division to France, nonred the
port at Marseilles, a wireless was
received, which warned the boat
commander that tow submarines or
tin ships, wero laying for them. By
some 'chance the two torpedoes,
which were meant for the troop ship,
struck a Swedish ship, near iport.
Upon arrival in France, the New 2.ea
landers were accorded something of
the same welcome given our own
Amorican soldiers. Flowers and fruit
wero thrown to tilieni and the French
niixedi with them most fraternally.
When the New Zealand division
reached the western front the Ger
mans were niaBters of No Man's Lund
and they scoffed at the untrained al
lied forces thrown against them, but
in a seemingly incredible short tiiup.
these New Zealanders were anion
the most seasoned troops and ware
given a point between two woods in
the vicinity of Amiens, to capture, a
point which other battalions had rail
ed to maintain. When the attack be
gan there were 400 Germans to tipt
and at the end of the diivu, there
were 400 dead on the battlefield. Fur
this work, the New Zealanders re
ceived Bpeclal mention and commen
dation from headquarters.
Captuin Seddon gave a most thrill
ing account of the houm und min
utes approaching tho ".ero" hour,
tho time given out by General Halg
at headquarters, as the monicnt of
attack.
"Every watch in the irniy U syn
chronized and we know that the
minute designated by our time piece
is precisely the same as that (if iivnry
other officer. Contrary to public
opinion, the process of goir.g "over

trenches on that night before - the

boys sleeping like babies. Just be

Previous to the zero hour, everything

Captain Seddon told feelingly or
the response of the English womon

nation faced with ail the man power

ians rallied after the great Austrian
offensive lust year and pushed tlui
enemy back ovor captured territory.
Lattly, Captain Seddon spoke of the
eloquent reftily of the Hun termed,
"American flabby citizen army," to
their assailants, on July 4, when
the Yanks rammed back the German
divisions at St. Mlhlel, with such se
vere Iobsob to the enemy.
"Never was the morale of thb al
lies at a higher pitch, for tho world
ovor, we are making successful war
fare against the Teutons. But do
not think the war is over. Do not re
lax your efforts. Ideas like these
are but symptoms of German propa
ganda, which would but cause mi to
slacken our preparations, giving ad
vantage to the enemy. The tofctt
news thnt .ias come to the alllos

Prior to Captain Seddon's talk a
short 'musical jprogram' was rendered

chorus, 'gave a most pleasing solo.

An order to leave the city of
Marshlleld by the 29th of the month
la the result of a raid made on the
Inmates of disorderly houses by Cap
tain E, M. Burke, representing the
Oregon Society of Social Hygiene,

In that portion of country known as
"No Man's Land, lying between tho
city limits of Marshfleld and North
Bend. Today they were examined by
a physician of the local advisory mili
tary board and those found diseased
will be sent to the detontton homo in
Portland. This Is the first raid or
the Kind ever carried out in the city.
- S. D. Goff, O. U. Helblg and Dale
Howard, all of whom were notllled
by the city marshal to appear In tho
recorder's court today, were fined In
the sum of $1 each for failure to
have tall lights burning while their
cars were on the streets.
An Incident connected with
the liberty loan drive this
morning almost caused a case
or two of heart failure, and the
solicitors could Bcarcely bell ivo
their ears when they asked a
demure little laity it the Polly-
