Ten days of the British and French
offensive on the west front has
brought no result commensurate with
the preparation. The progress of the
allies is so slight that it is difficult to
mark on the maps.
German troops on both sides of tho
Somme in the fields- of the entent
offensive along the western front have
repulsed with heavy losses repeated
attacks by the British and French, the
war office1 announced Saturday.
Large Carranza forces, better or
ganized and more completely equip
ped than any other units of the de
facto government troops, last week
closed in on the bandits of Southern
Chihualh.ua and northern Durango, in
tent on wiping them out.
The French have carried German
positions east of Flaucourt on a front
of four kilometers and to a depth of
from one to two kilometers. They
also have captured the village of Bi
aches, according to the official state
ment issued by the war office.
The British troops have1 made
"steady progress in the face of stub
born resistance," in the neighborhood
of Ovillers, on the Somme front, ac
cording to the official statement from
general headquarters. Two German
counter-attacks near the Bois des
Trones were repulsed.
From two to three hundred Carran
za soldiers and camp followers were
massacred by Broncho Yacquis early
this week in lower Sonora, according
to stories told by arrivals from that
part of Mexico. Those of the de facto
detachment not killed by gunfire it is
said, were burned at the stake.
Carranza ha3 issued a decree de
claring void all paper money except
the latest issue of the de facto gov
ernment currency, according to unof
ficial reports. It is reported from
Manzanillo that the Mexican gunboat
Guerrero, has left there for Salina
Cruz where it is to be dismantled.
In accordance with the recent de
cision of the British government to
discontinue the partial enforcement
of the Declaration of London which
has reference to the conduct of naval
warfare, an order in council was
published in the London Gazette un
der which all orders made under the
Declaration of London since the be
ginning of the war are withdrawn.
, ' At its greatest depth the German
lines were pushed back less than three
miles. This was done by the French
line south of the Somme. The Brit
ish Unes north of the Somme were
virtually at a standstill for two days,
in spite of the utmost unprecedented
use of ammunition.
x The Russians under General Brus
siloff are continuing to drive back the
Teutonic lines in the east. , Further
notable progress has been made by
the Russians in Volhynia, where their
movement upon the important railway
center of Kovel is gaining in force. In
Galicia a new advance of the Russians
is reported. In the region between
Riga and Volhynia the Germans are
developing more formidable resistance.
The 3800 mile trip across the At
lantic was uneventful, according to
the daring captain, and there was no
trouble in escaping the few ally boats
that were seen en route. The Deutsch
land was submerged only a few hours
and over a distance of only ninety
miles on the entire voyage. The car
go brought over by the submarine,
which came unarmed, consisted almost
entirely of dyestuffs valued as high as
$1,000,000. The Deutschland is the
largest submarine in existence, being
315 in length.
The most important feature of the
week's war news came to light on
Monday morning with the arrival
from Germany of the giant submarine
Deutschland carrying a cargo of 1000
tons of dye stuff3 and some other mer
chandise for American manufacturers.
It is understood the great "U" boat
will load with nickle and crude rubber
for the return trip. Captain Koenig,
who piloted the great commercial un-der-water
craft from the Fatherland
into the Baltimore harbor stated to
press representatives that the arrival
of the Deutschland was only a start
er of a string of commercial subma
rines that would conduct a traffic with
American manufacturers, bringing to
this country the supplies so sorely
needed and returning with those most
urgently demanded by the Germanic
war conditions.
In Mexico and along the border the
week has been comparatively quiet.
Carranza has won a great deal of
American sentiment through the re
lease of American negro prisoners and
their return to this country. Follow
ing this release the chief of the de
facto government dispatched his long
expected note to the American gov
ernment and it was a distinct surprise
because of its very friendly tone It
showed a spirit on Carranza's part to
cooperate in executing the mission of
the American forces in Mexico and on
the surface went a long way toward
the settlement of the entire trouble.
Military mobilization along the bor
der progressed as usual, however.
Secretary of State Lansing immedi
ately replied . to the Carranza note
with a courteous statement, saying
that it was the desire of the Ameri
can government to exchange views as
to the best manner of settlement of
the Mexican trouble and in a friendly
way to both governments.

MELL, I certainly intro
duced myself to the alert
bargain seekers of this town. They
saw the Birth of a Notion in
Clearance Price Cutting and the way they went
alter tnese money-saving snaps; the manner in
which they appreciated the economies makes me believe
that every clothes buyer in town will like my notions
when they once become acquainted with the benefits.
If you were not one of "wise ones" that got here Open
ing Day, "wise up" now because this is by far the
greatest bargain event in thoroughly reliable and
fashionable apparel that this town has ever seen. I
am moving this stock of good clothes and it is going
to keep moving until J wind up the entire stock.
What's the use of waiting for the other fellow to "pick
the plums" when you might just as well get in on the
choicest things yourself. Act and benefit delay and
regret. Come in and have a look anyway.

TO PAY GUARDSMEN
Crown - Willamette Mills Announce
Benefit Plan for Employes
Employes of the Crown-Willamette
mills who are married and who have
gone to the Mexican bordor with the
state troops will be paid the differ
ence between government pay and
their usual wages at the mills during
the time of their absence, according
to an announcement made here on
Monday.
; Several employes of the mill, mar
ried, have gone to the front and have
left dependents at home. These de
pendents will receive the wages of
their bread winners until they re
turn, when they will be reinstated in
the positions left when the call to
arms was sounded. The check to be
mailed to the families each month
will cover 2G days of the month, less
the amount paid the men by the gov
ernment, thereby making tho soldier's
salary the same as he would receive
were he engaged in his civil occupa
tion.
The Hawley Pulp & Paper company
has duplicated the action of the
trown-Willamette mills to the extent
of holding open the positions left by
guardsmen who went to the front with
the troops.
