to $tay the allied advance, the enemy
have thrown other army divisions

NEW" YORK, Oct. 12. 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

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

zens of Roseburg not to have any

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

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.

FROM DUGOUT ON THE

is nice and comfortable and also dry
and warm.
"'There is apparently no firing at

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.
