Passing in Review
News of the Week from War
Zones, of Europe and
Mexico
The British resumed the offensive
late last week in a powerful attack
north of the Sompie in northern
trance Acording to London thev
have driven back the . German lines
from about a mile and a quarter to
nearly a mile and three quarters at
some places, in an assault along a six.
mile front.
As preliminary to today's extended
ottensive movement, General Haig's
forces attacked and captured German
trenches along a front of more than
half a mile southeast of Thiepval.
Apparently the attack had "not
spent its force when the official bulle
tin was sued, as it declared that the
British were continuing to progress,
The French on their part drove into
the south of Combles, -which already
was nearly hemmed in by the entente
forces, and report an advance as far
as the village of Rancourt.
Heavy fighting also has taken place
on the Verdun front, Pans reportinc
two German attacks there, both of
which were repulsed.
Italian troops are on the offensive
on the whole Isonzo front from Goritz
to the sea, and the Austrian line has
been broken at several places. Aus
trian losses in two days of fighting
are said to exceed 10,000.
Italians have captured the summit
of Monte Caurioso, San Grado Height
and large Austrian entrenchments
near Loquizza, east of Oppachsarella,
in their new drive, it was officially an
nounced. New Austrian prisoners
number 1077.
An exchange telegraph dispatch de
clared the allied fleet has begun a
bombardment of Kavala, the Greek
town recently ocupied by the Bulgar
ians and Germans. All the inhabi
tants were warned to leave the town
before the bombardment opened.
In Macedonia, -where notable sue
cesses for the entente troops against
the-Bulgarians in the center and on
the left wing were reported, renewed
activity now is announced on the right
flank, where the British have again
thrown skirmishers across the Struma
and raided villages occupied by the
Bulgarians. In Dobrudja, southern
Rumania, the Bulgarians, Turks and
Germans have won a decicive success
against the Rumanians and Russians,
Field Marshal von Mackensen reports.
The report is contained in a telegram
sent to Emperor William by the empress.
On the Masedonian front an en
tente attack in the Struma valley
northeast of Saloniki was repulsed by
the Bulgarians, the Sofia war office
announces, a counter attack forcing
the entente troops back to the west
bank of the river.
The forces under Field Marshal
von Mackensen are continuing to pro
gress in their campaign in the Ruman
ian provinces of Dobrudja, Sofia re
ports. Some indication of stronger
resistance by the Rumanians and Rus
sians, however, is furnished by the
official statement, which reports heavy
counter attacks.
ish line has been driven further for
ward toward LeSars, along the Po-zieres-Bapaume
road north of Mar
tinpuichand east of Courcelette.
British losses re placed at 3350,
000 killed, wounded and missing and
French losses at 150,000, in an official
review of operations and losses on the
Somme front to September 15, issued
at Berlin Wednesday.
The statement declares the allied
offensive to date has conquered only
15,000 square kilometers of territory,
or about 33 per cent of the total area
held by the Germans in France and
Belgium. '
Following a conference between
King Constantine, the premier and the
foreign minister, it was reported that
Greece has decided to depart from
neutrality in principle, according to a
Reuter dispatch from Athens received
at London Wednesday, This is taken
to mean that Greece will actively aid
the allies without making formal de
laration of war. v
An American arriving at El Paso
from the interior of Mexico said that
on September 9 bandies captured a
southbound passenger train on the
Mexican national line about 35 miles
south of Torreon. After robbing the
passengers and taking such clothing
as they had, he said they burned the
train. The passengers were picked
up by a northbound train and taken
to Torreon.
An outpost of American soldiers at
Candelaria, Texas, exchanged about
15 shots today in a skirmish with Mex
ican cattle smugglers, who fled. So
far as can be learned no one was shot.
The Mevicans were driving 25 head of
cattle across the border at what they
believed an unguarded point in order
to avoid inspection and proper entry.
ANSWER STRUCK OUT
Judge Sustains Tooze Motion in Big
Damage Action
Judge J. U. Campbell on Monday
afternoon sustained the motion of C.
Schuebel, counsel for F. J. Tooze, and
struck out the answer to the Tooze
complaint, filed some time ago by Mr.
and Mrs. H. B. Cartlidge. Mr. and
Mrs. Cartlidge are defendants in a
$20,000 damage action taken into the
courts by City School Superintendent
F. J. Tooze, when the fight against
Tooze had spent its fury.
Judge Campbell, in sustaining the
motion of the Tooze counsel, said that
it was necessary, if Mr. and Mrs. Cart
lidge wanted to justify, or show the
truth of their answer, to set up par
ticular circumstances with specific
facts.
The presence of a division of Ser
bian troops in Rumania, alluded to in
recent press dispatches, has not been
officially accounted for. The proba
bilities are that some Serbian- troops
were forced into Rumanian territory
during the Teutonic drive through
Serbia last fall, being interned there
and liberated for service with the en
tente forces when Rumania entered
the war, or else that the division is
composed of Serbian residents of Rumania.
The new thrust by the French south
of the river Somme in northern
France, where the important railway
town if Chaulnes is their objective,
has resulted in the complete encircl
ing of the village of Deniecourt, the
Paris war office announced.
Deniecourt is at the center of the
wedge the French are driving into the
German lines north of Chaulnes, its
resistance holding up their advance
between Berny and Vermandovillers,
complete occupation of" which villages
by the French was announced.
Further progress has been made by
the French in this region and heavy
counter attacks by the Germans on
the new French positions both north
and south of the Somme have been re
pulsed, according to report, whichan
nounces that the Germans sustained
enormous losses, two battalions being
nearly wiped out. The French have
taken 1200 prisoners and ten machine
guns.
The British are keeping up their
forward push north of , the Somme,
scoring their advances, however, at
isolated points, apparently in opera
tions to straighten their lines and se
cure their hold on captured ground.
London reports an appreciable ad
vance on the left bank where the Brit-
Picnic at Clear Creek
The employes at the Oregon Jour
nal of Portland assembled at Clear
Creek park, where Clear Creek joins
the Clackamas, on Sunday for a pic
nic as guests of the management of
that paper. A special train carried
the party over the new Carver rail
road and the entire day was spent at
the park. Bathing, basket luncheon
and informal games made up the pro
gram of the day.

Suffered Tor Years
There are many people who will be interested in the experience
of Mrs. Julia Byard, Fort Benton, Mont. She writes:
"I suffered for years with gall-stones. A friend
wrote me about Fruitola and Traxo. I started taking
it and am completely cured now and feel better than
I have felt for twenty years."
Mrs. Byard's testimony is similar to that of many who have
given this remedy a chance to help them. Fruitola is a powerful
lubricant for the intestinal organs, softening the hardened particles
that cause so much suffering and expelling the congested waste in
an easy, natural way. A single dose is usually sufficient to clearly
indicate its efficacy. Traxo is a splendid tonic-alterative that acts
on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow, of gastric juices to Bid
digestion and removes bile from the general circulation.
Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at
Monticello, 111., and arrangements have been made to supply them
through representative druggists. In Oregon City, Portland, Canby
and Hubbard they can be obtained at the Huntley Bros. Co. stores.
Jolm Cook had been married ten
years, during which time, except the
first few months after the wedding, he
had never been away from his wife for
more than a few days at a time. But
after ten years" living together there
came a brief separation. They had not
been able to go to the country during
the summers, for John's income would
not admit of an outing. But all of a
sudden his business sprang up, and
when August came around It was de
cided that Mrs. Cook and the children
had better spend a few weeks in somo
rural .district where there was pure air.
John could "not leave his business,
which was increasing every day, so he
packed them off without him.
Mrs. Cook had exacted a promise
from her husband that he would write
every day. The first day after her de
parture be kept his promise. He wrote
the following brief letter:
Dear Ellen I hope you and the children
arrived safely. It's very hot here, but I
presume you are rejoicing In cool breezes.
I dined In a hurry last night at a restau
rant find went back to the office, where
I remained till 11 o'clock. I am obliged
to work nights in order to keep up with
the rush, so you see that I haven't much
time to spend writing any letters that
don't pertain to business. Ta ta. Kiss
Tommy and Nellie for their
AFFECTIONATE FATHER.
"That," said Mrs. Cook, "looks as if
he were very busy and that the chil
dren are the only onos who can draw
from him any expression of affection."
The next day Mrs. Cook looked for
another letter from her husband, hop
ing that it would be signed "your af
fectionate husband" instead of "the
children's affectionate father." But to
her surprise no letter came, nor did she
receive one the day following or the
next or the next. It was not till a
week after the arrival of the first let
ter that another came. This one was
ns overflowing with affection as the
first was devoid of it. Its beginning
was as follows:
Dearest Nell It Is three days since I
have seen your dear face or kissed your
sweet Hps. It seems three years no, not
years, ages. If ever I get back to you I
vow I will never consent to be separated
from you again. Last night I wrote you
twelve pages, which, I presume, you have
by this time received and digested. Yours
written yesterday is here, and I have read
It a dozen times already. I woke up In
the middle of the night and got up to read
it again.
Mrs. Cook had read thus far when
she stopped and shuddered. What did
this remarkable burst of '(affection
mean? The newspapers bad noted that
the thermometer In the city had hov
ered around 08 degrees and the humid
ity varied between 90 and 100 degrees.
There hod been many cases of sun
stroke, and several persons hnd been
made Insane by the heat. Could It be
that her husband has been thus affect
ed? .
The letter trembled In her hands as
she read on. , Skimming over a lot
more of this "incoherent nonsense," as
she called it, the letter closed:
With a million kisses, your own true
love, JACK.
What caused the greatest fear In
Mrs. Cook's breast was the fact that
there was not a word about the chil
dren. In this epistle there was surely
no reason to be jealous of them. But
if he had forgotten them his delirium
must surely be terrible. What should
she do telegraph him to ask if he had
been sunstruek? That, of course,
would be absurd. She might Jnqulre
of others, but when she came to think-,
over her husband's Intimate friends
she remembered every one of them
was out of town. Besides supposing
there was nothing the matter with
John or suppose she wilted at the
thought that he bad written another
woman while writing his wife and got
the letters In the wrong envelope? No,
Whatever she did she must keep the
matter from the world. There was but
one thing for her to do go home.
In an hour after this decision she
had left her children In care of the
landlady and taken a train. She ar
rived In the city before dark and drove
directly to her house. She found the
front door unlatched and entered. The
table was set for dinner for one in the
dining room. She ran upstairs and
saw her hushand In his bedroom tying
his cravat before a mirror. He turned
and looked at her in astonishment
"Great heavens' What brought you
home? Anything the matter with the
children ?"
Mrs. Cook, by this time convinced
that the letter she hod received had
been written to another woman than
herself, drew it from her bag and
handed it to her husband. He looked
at it, and a singular, shamefaced ex
pression appeared on bis countenance.
"Who is the woman?" cried Mrs.
John.
"My dear, did this bring you home?"
"It did."
"Thank heaven!"
"What do you mean?"
"Why, I was so crowded with busi
ness that I have no time to write. I
found in your desk a bundle of my old
letters to you, written when we were
first married. I thought I'd make
them do while ycj were away."
It was now Mrs. Cook's turn to look
shamefaced.
"Do you mean," she faltered, "that
you ever wrote that that kind of a
letter to me?"
"Loads of them. And got the same
kind from you."
"Oh, John, I was afraid"
"Afraid of what?"
"That you bad been made mad by
the heat"

Des Moineu, Iowa. "Four years ago
I was very sick and my life waa nearly
spent. The doctors
stated that I would
never get well with
out an operation
and that without it
I would not live one
year. My husband
objected to any
operation and got
me some of Lydia E.

it and commenced
to get better and am now well, am
stout and able to do my own housework.
I can recommend the Vegetable Com

health restorer. My husband says I
would have been in my grave ere this
if it had not been for your Vegetable
Compound." Mrs. Blanche Jeffer
