The cap ture of Vouzieres, as the result of the heavy pressure by the French and Americans on the western flank of the Argonne massif, is the most important success attained by Gen eral Pershing since he began opera tions to close the German exit irutu France by way of Luxemburg. The allies are now in a position to begin the encirclement of the northern ex tension of the Argonne forest.

THE CELEBRATION Of LIBERTY DAY HERE FOR TONIGHT IS CANCELLED The Liberty Pay celebration sched uled to be held here tonight has been cancelled. This conclusion was rached this morning after a confer ence held by Mayor Rice and Dr. Seely, state health officer. This was because there are several severe cases of grippe in the city, and one or two cases resembling the Spanish . influenza. All these cases are pro gressing favnrahly.and no serious re sults are anticipated. However, the officers are acting on the old adage ,that "an ounce of prevention is i worth a pound of cure." and they de cided it was better not to have a big ; crowd assemble on the streets, when there is a possihility that infection : might he spread. j The mayor's proclamation follows: i "After having a conference with our city boa It h officer. Dr. Shoe i maker, and with Dr. A. C. Seely, who succeeds Dr. Holt as stale health of I ficer, they ail vise me that it would t he dangerous to have any street meeting of any kind or gathering ! where people would congregate lo 1 get her on the street on account of ; several cases of influenza ttiat is in 'our city now. So I will ask the citi- zens of Roseburg not to have any j public gatherings on the streets.

There 1 will be no public gatherings until j furth r notice. ! ' N. RICK, Mayor."

Cawlfield. formerly of this city, writes as follows: Camp Merrittt. N. J., Sept. 2!. Dear Oregon Folks: Again a grout Liberty loan drive is opened. Aud we are reminded of th" last loan when alter reading In the Now York evening papers what Ore gon had done, you caused me to stand up on my hunk in our barracks here and yell like a Comanche In dian, and when the hoys asked why the hilarity, was It a hoy or a girl, I told thorn with my breast sticking out like u pouter pigeon that my state, my Oregon, was lirst in all this great Union to go over the top In the third Liberty loan. And they yelled also. Do it again. Help the com rades of thoso bravo lads sleeping under the green sods hi France to finish what they have so grandly, floriously started. You may have seen a photograph of a scene In far-away Franco. A little glade on a sunny hillside sur rounded by tall trees, a newly formed grave, a squad of men In uni form, and near the grave is a coffin draped with the glorious Stars and Stripes. A bugler sounds "taps" and all is over. What does that mean to you? Does It (ell you what that brave lad has done, just In the happiest, sun nest hour of life, when eager winds of youth were kissing full with joy all the sails of his wonder ship? That he volunlarily gave it ALL for you, for all you love, and for all that love you? Sometime, somewhere, you may meet that lad again. Will you he aide to say truthfully, "I did all I could, I gave all I could, to help you and your comrades. ' No mat lor what you do. you will have never done enough. I have Just witnessed the depar ture of twenty-three thousand en thus'astfe. eager for the fray hoys. They were singing and yelling good bye to every animale and Inanimate object in sight. I wondered if they would come back to us the same ten der. loving lads, or would the un speakable cruelty of the Huns bur den and embitter their noble young lives Aud the strangest thing is you don't think it sacrilege to silent ly ask God to give them the streitgih and courage to wallop hell out of (he Hun. You feel when they go as if they had taken a good big chunk of youg heart along with them over the sea. Conversing with a returned invalid sergeant recently, I asked him bow the American women were "carrying on" in France. He said he hail seen the tender loving hands of women become as strong as Iron and true as steel, a nd accomplish tasks from which strong men turned away, faint and sick. Magnificent womanhood ! And yet some of our Senators will play politics with a cause as Just and right ous as the freedom of Bel gium. Today we listened to a beau tiful, talented young Belgian girl lecture in the big Y. building here. She told us of the awful cruellies of the Huns, how they bad taken home, t rift) ds, relat ives aud all I rom her, am) that even the very clothes she wore were given her by Americans. She then came to the front of th' stage, with tears In her eyes, and thanked us for all we bad done for her country and for all we were go ing to do. Yours to win the war and success of th- fourth Liberty loan SOT. J B. C A WLFI KLD. - . . . . , o Miss Gladys Miller and Mrs. B C.

IL Baih y, as president of the State Hor ticultural Society, that he will be un able to address the next meeting of the society concerning the apple trade of the Northwest, as all or his material will soon he made public in a Government bulletin. Mr. Ratoham says, however, that this question Is at present of great interest to fruit men In the state i and writes: "As soon as we have! normal or Improved trade conditions! the apple growers of the Northwest ! can and should find an outlet for an increasingly largo volume of their I product in the Orient. The posul- i Millies exist and the probabilities He : with the fruit grower. Some kind of , reasonable co-operation In supplying , that trade will achieve success. Un controlled competition, with Its trail of ineffective handling and lack of publicity, may lose the trade to other nations. I hope that the fruit ship pers and the bureau of markets will be able to join In the proper steps to secure our share of the trade. o GEO. WILLETT WRITES FROM DUGOUT ON THE FRENCOATTLE FRONT Richard Willelt la In receipt of a (letter from his son. Serg. Geo. Wil- lott, who is with the U. S. hospital forces at the battle front In France.

The rest of the boys are about live kilometers (It miles) hack. We have a fine little dugout one of the best around this part of the country. It is nice and comfortable and also dry and warm. "'There is apparently no firing at all at present, but In a Tow mure hours hell sure will pop and we will undoubtedly he a wakened from our peacelul slumbers. Wo do not have to worry, for (here's about one chance In a thousand of any shells bursting on our dugout. "Our lieutenant, with Bales and myself, occupy (his dugout by our selves. We are established as a bat talion first aid station. The other medical men are with the batteries. In case there are any wounded Ihoy bring them up to us. It's really very fascinating and we are glad we are taking a place In the greatest war ever fought." He also added that they expected to lie moving on soon and thai his address will be Germany Instead of France before long.
