FRENCH LAUD U. S.
V1CT0RYATST.WIHE
PARIS, Sept. 14. The American
array maiden efforts as an Indep
endent force in the world war is re
garded by the French press and pub
nr. a master stroke. Further de
tain showing; the extent of ground
gained and the number ot prisoners
taken In two days on a relatively
mall front have more than borne out
early expectations.
"The American army has gained a
,nninft victory at high speed." says
colonel do Thomasson, military critic,
who navs tribute to the American
staff and troops for having, in such
. hriof time, attained such a high
Btandard of efficiency.
To say that last night s American
official report revealed an achieve
rwnt far in excess of what had been
expected is no dispar-gement of Uie
American army, but the moral effect
svanrvi seems in consequence of
this to measure well up with th mill
tary results attained.
American soldiers in Farls are lion
ised by the people, who stop them on
the streets and grip their hands in
s congratulation over the victory.
CAMP LEWIS WILL BE
ENLARGED 10 CM
EOR 60,000 SOLDIERS
CAMP LEWIS, American Lake,
Wash., Sept. 14. Flans for the build
ing f 70 additional barracks, which
will bring the total housing capacity
of the cantonment to 60,000, are in
course of preparation by the construct
ing quartermaster's department here.
Estimates on the cost, the probable
location and other figures necessary
before the construction of the build
ings are ordered, were requested
some time ago by the cantonment di
vision in Washington and it is con
sidered extremely i.robable. by of
ficers here, that the camp will be
materially enlarged soon.
HIGHWAY BOARD
VETOES FURTHER
SALES OFBONDS
WASHINGTON. Sopt l6.-Oregon
state highways will have to remain
as they artj so far as extensions or
betterment are concerned until after
the war, according to decision ren
dered by the capital issues commit
tee in denying the application of the
Oregon state highway commission the
right to issue 5T0,000 bonds to com
plete nine units by graveling the surface.
The capital issues committee acted
on the recommendation of the nation
al highway council, which acted ad
versely on the ground that the roads
were not a military necessity. There
is ;i bare chance that In a few months
conditions may have Improved and
a permit to issue the bonds may be
granted, but Senator McNary, wno
has the matter in hand, says the po
sition of the capital issues committee
will not permit action in time to do
the work before winter.
SALEM, OR., Sept. 16. The block-
ins of all surfacing and maeauam
work embraced under the present
program ot the state highway com
mission will be the result of the fed
eral capital issues committee's refusal
to place its approval upon an issue ot
$590,000 in state highway bonds, State
Hlr.hway Engineer Nunn says. It is
believed, however, that projects now
in progress will be finished.
For the completion of the forest
and post road program, the engineer
s;iys enough money is available from
the sal of bonds under the Bean
Barrett act which Is used with match
money of the government. Also about
$1,000,000 can be had from other
sources for work next year, and, re
gardless of whether or not the capital
issues committee decides to approve
the issue recently rejected, highway
work will not b dropped entirely
next year.

conference with Major Deich, com
mander ot the Oregon miitary police,

that with the passing of the forest
fire menace for this season the police
force will be reduced to about 100
men. The military police originally
numbered 200 men, but 40 men al
ready have been taken from the po
lice.

trol duty at the State Fair this month.
Major Deich said the men would be
sent to Salem before the opening of
the fair so that they may familiarize
themselves with the work.
Reduction of the state police force
is in line with the governor's policy,
announced several weks ago, to
maintain only such a force as is nec
essary to cope with conditions that
may arise in which they are needed
in addition to their duties as guards
over Industrial plants. The cutting
dowu is a measure of economy.

RED INDIANS SERVE
IN OLIVE DRAB FOR
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. Thous
ands of Red Indians who, a genera
tion or two ago, decked themselves
out in paint and feathers, are today
wearing the olive drab uniform of the
United States army.
At Camp Bowie, Texas, ,the 142nd
Infantry is composed wholly of Chot
taws, and through this camp alone
are scattered more than a thousand
Indians. In Nebraska the Winne
bagos formed a company early In the
war, but the formation of separate
units la generally frowned upon by
the government, which prefers, when
possible, to place the Red men in the
same companies with white soldiers.
Fourteen tribes are represented in
the service and, when young enough,
the chiefs have enlisted. In rank
they scale down from major, and al
moiit every branch has attracted
some of them.
The Indians have a good Liberty
bond record. Although they are not
wealthy people, In the three loans
they have subscribed more than $13,
000,000, or between $30 and $40 per
capita. The Osages, with a popula
tion of only 2,180, subscribed $226,000
to the last loan.

mand that the Democrats Join with
the Republicans to keep partisan

which Will n. Hays, chairman of tho
Republican national committee, made
to President Wilson's Inquiry, through
Secretary Tumulty, as to whether he
had said the Democrats were willing
to bargain for peace to retain coutrol
ot tho nation's affairs.
In his letter to Secretary Tumulty.
Mr. Hays dented that ho had uttered
the sentiments which were attributed
to htm In the quoted paragrnph. He
declared, however, that he has assail
ed the methods of certain Democratic
leaders. Referring to methods used
In the Wisconsin senatorial campaign
by Democratic leaders, he said they
were "an Infamous prostitution of all
patriotic proprieties." And their ac
tion, he said, was rebuked In the Mich
igan primaries and the Maine election.
