HOLD OLD FASHIONED
1 MEETING CHAPEL CAR
Savoring of the good old) fashion
ed cottage prayer meeting was the
service at the chapel car, "Good
Will," last night between the hours
of 8 and 9. The chapel apartment
of tne car, which has a seating capac
ity of 100 'persons, was filled to the
limit. After a short musical, pro
gram consisting of a selection of
pieces on the victrola, Rev. Driver,
who has a tenor voice of exceptional
quality, favored the audience iwitn
a song, after which Mrs. Driver' ac
companied him In a lovely d)ue.
Rev. Driver then told those assem
bled something of the nature of the
work accomplished through the me
dium of the chapel car. i
This chapel oar, which Is one of
the seven of its kind operated in the
United States, Is under the super
vision of the Baptist Publication So
ciety, but is not strictly denomina
tional, charged! as it Is with the work
of carrying the message of the gos
pel In out-of-the way communities
or in iplaces where pastorates are
not filled. The chapel is a very roomy
aipartment and tastefully appointed.
lu the chapel is a choir loft and an
organ, which was donated to the car
by the Estey company. Back of the
chapel apartment Is a drawing room,
which serves as a lounging iroom,
with Its hunt in couch, and as a din
ing room, with a collapsible table.
In the rear is- the kitchen in which
everything Is most convenient and
every inch of space utilized. All In
all, the chapel car is a most com
fortable and livable home and It Is
well this Is so as Rev. and - Mrs.
Driver have mode It their permanent
home for the jpast four years. -
The Baptist pulpit will be occupied
by Rev: Driver for the next two Sun
days, after which these evangelists
will go to Ashland and Mcdfordi.

MPORT
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, Sept:, 15. (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press.)
Offensive operations toward- Metz
strike at one oi the most Important
German bases in the west. The city
and the twenty-eight encircling
forte comprise what 'haB been regard
ed as one of the. most formidable
fortresses in tJhe worlu. Metz also
Is the center of important iron; fields,
which; before the war supplied
.France and Germany with more than
two-thlrtlB of the ore used by their
iron manufactories.
Metz is on the Moselle 10 miles
west of tihe French border. The city
lays astride the Moselle river as well
as on both sides of the Scllle.- Part
of the city is on Islands in the Mo
selle. To -the east, north and north
west are the Iron and coal fields of
French and German Lorraine. De
prived of these fields Germany could
not conduct the war for another
three months. It is asserted.
The chief iron field of the Rhine
d, strict is tihat of Lorraine, Includ
ing the Bassint de Briey, (the center
of which 1b the little village of
Briey), the greatest Iron producing
region in the worlldL It Is located
mainly in Alsace-Lorraine and over
laps Into Belgium and Luxemburg.
It extends along the Franco-German
frontier for thirty-five miles, almost
up to Pont-o-Mousson.
Germany's possession of the ma
jor portion of thlB productive area
followed the signing of tho treaty or
Frankfort In 1871. Previous to the
present war Germany obtained from
the mines on her side of the frontier
21.-000.000 tons of her annual pro
duction of 28,000,000, while France
got 16,000,000 out of a total pro
duction of 22,000,000.
Since her occupatlnn In 1914 of
the mines on the French Bide of the
frontier Germany has added to her
mineral wealth the 15,000,000 tons
annually obtained by the French,
bringing iher total production from
Lorraine alone up to 43,000,000 tons
a year.
The only practical road to this Im
portant region, military authorities
agree, is the valley of the Moselle.
At the Iheakll of the vallev and barring
the way lies , Metz, ranking with
Strassburg as one of the two great
bulwarks of the German southwest
ern frontier. Metz is a city of 00.
000 poipulation, Its chief Industries
being the manufacturing of weap
ons, clothes, shoes and hats.
As a fortress Metz has been Im
portant since the Roman era. Since
that time it has never succumbed to
frontal attack, Its present system of
fortifications includes 28 detaoued
forts which encircle the city proper.
The outer chain of defenses, built
within the lost two decades, and un
doubtedly perfected since the out
break of the present war, extend to
Thlonvllle on the north, and Grave
lot to on the west. ' :
West and southwest of Metis the
cdtirse of the Moselle Is lined with
high, wooded hills. The German
fortress is also protected by holBhts
anidi woods northward. On th south,
however, the terrain Is more open,
with few hills and little wood.
From the American lines south
west of Metz the nearest forts are
Forts Haessler and'de Somniy on the
right bank of the Moselle and Fort
Kronprlnz on the left bank. Fort do
Sommy Is less- than five miles frrtn
the French town of Arnavllle, on the
Franco-German border. The forts
surrounding Metz were sliulUrt to
those at Liege, which- were notable
for their disappearing turrets. Ger-
man guns, -however, overcame these
forts. .
Metz also 1b an important point on
the railway Qlne supplying the Ger
man line eastward from Laon.
The fall of Metz not only would
probably seal the fate of the iron and
coal fields, but, through the sever
ance of railway lines,' Imperil the
German line west to Laon and thence
northward to the Belgium coast. All
reports or a ipossiMe German retire
ment in the west have Indicated that
Metz would form one of the bastions
of the German defense. -
10 CULL OUT
Prof. Brewster, of the Agricultural
College will hold two culling demon
strations in Douglaa county i next
week, one at Myrtle Creek on Mon
day at 2 o'clock D. m., on tho' farm
of C. Aft Hermann on North Myrtle
creek, and one at Roseburg on iTues-
day at 2 o'clock p. m., at the Farm
ers' Feed Sheds.
These demonstrations are 'being
held for the purpose of assisting the
farmers in culling out . non-layers
from their flocks of hens. This Is
along the line of the government's
war program for conserving food.
Willie it (has been demonstrated
time and again that there are very
few flocks which do not contain
number of boarders, the : ordinary
farmer has not had practice In cull
ing, and for that reason docs not
know just which of his hens are lay-
ins and which are not. Mr. Brew
ster has been able In a number of
test cases to select 95 per cent of
the hens out of any Hook leaving the
others to -be sold.
The demonstration being -held In
Roseburg Is for the benefit oB those
peoiple who are living In town and
keep a few chickens, and it Is 'hoped
that their attendance will be good as
no charges are made for the demonstration.
TED'S LETTER.
son
(By Orpha Colllno.) -Last
week, Pa said, "My!
come here, . i ,
You love your brother Jim,
And I want you to take a pen
And write a line to him.
He's lonesome over there In France,
I know it very well.
Of course ho didn't say Just that,
But anyone can tell.
He's like so many other chaps -He'll
never "cheep" alright,
But now you write a line or two -And
we'll send It tonight."
Twas then I wrote Dear Brother
Jim
That almost choked me down
To think of him so for away, .
But I began to frown.
And muster all my courage up,
And this Is what I wrote
"Jim Jones' boy. Is In the pen
For stealing Thompson's shoat.
Old Tlge and Rover caught a skunk
That bothered mother's chlckenB.
Today I won a prize a school.
For memorizing Dickens.
Old Bossy's calf the one you
tuugh
To bunt when he was small
Chased Dootor Carver u the stops
And clear down the front hall.
The Simpson girls ask every day,
"When did you hear from Jim?"
"D'ye think I'd tell such sill uiings
As you," 1 sold, " 'bout him."
I
But I did tell a girl you know,
Exactly your address
I saw her picture In your trunk
So you won't care, I guess.
She dtidn't ask me .how you wero,
Hut said, "Don't tell your brother.
And 1 will come here every day
And try to cheer your mother.
Now she and ma's been cleaning
-house
From attic to the cellar
Except one room, and that Is yours,
They wouldn't let a "feller"
Ransack that room for love nor gold
SHE often goes there, too,
And once I saw HER sheddln' tears,
But both of them'e true blue.
They wouldn't say a word no ways
Not If their hearts are aching
They'd tolerate no slacker here '
Each irule and promise breaking.
We keep 'the little service flag
A floating night and dlay
And now I'll send our love to yo.u,
Ten thousand miles away.
Your Brother TED.
