Speeding the advance of the past ' few days, the French have enlarged ; their hold on the west bank of the ! Sonuue canal on a wide front south i of Pennine. The Germans were re j treating precipitately at some points Mast night. It is believed that they jmust soon retreat to the old Hindeu ! hurg line. ' TIn fall of Noyon is now expected hourly. This will remove the last si rung defense before G Discard is ' reached, five miles north of Noyon. ' There is extremely heavy fighting I east of Nesle, w here huge amounts i of war materials have already been captured .by the allies.

A company was picked from this regiment to go to Lyons for Hie cele bration on the 1 till of .Inly. The Mill Is a holiday here, similar lo th.i -lib with us. We had a wonderful trip and saw some beautiful country. , Lyons is quite a bit larger than Port- ; land and is quite different from the smaller towns in this country. II looked like all the people in France had gal tiered t here for the celebra tion. There were troops there from all I he allied armies. I don't know how long I he parade was, hut 1 do know that the streets were crowded so tital we could hardly get through in places. The people threw flowers on us from the sidewalks and build lugs, and even Ihi1 av inters flying overhead dropped flowers on us us" I hey Hew over. It was no easv thing to march at attention lor so long time, but the trip more than repaid us for our ex Ira drill ami long, hoi ride. Ii took us about 2 1 boms lo reach there on the train and about the same mi the return. While there visifed a cathedral w hieh is certainly a beauty.

MORE TEACHERS NEEDED IN SCHOOLS; SOME MAY COMBINE TEMPORARILY County Snpt. o. C. ltrown reports a great shortage of teachers t h roil ghoul t he county. At least t hirly rural schools are w it bout teachers. 'Che following schools have not yet secured principals : Camas Valley. Green, Looking Glass. Ten Mile. Melrose. An assistant high school teacher Is wanted at Yoncalla and a Tlh and sth grade teacher lit I ira In. Many former teachers have deserted their profession for more lucrative ones, or for more patriotic causes, and almost all I he mate teachers are now in the service of their country. Supt, ltrown has a sol ut ion to offer for this problem. In every community -vhere II is at all advisable, II would be best to pro v ide for a temporary consul Ida Hon, and inv est the money which would be used for a teacher's salary upon means of t ratisportat ion fur the pupils. The t-chool laws provide for an emergency of this kind, and un der t he pi eseut ei rcu nisi a rices t his plan would be pernilssable. If, how ever, no school is maintained in the till tier , that school wiiu Id fail to gel their yearly apportionment Tem po! a ry consolidation Is probably the he-d solution that can be olfered , i;pc vpi i i;i: ammi ni i ion.
