(Special.) cretary of State Olcott todmy stopped the printing of the Republican partr pri mary voters' pamphlet for the Lane rnunir district to eliminate matter .from the statement of Jnmes Fullerton which the Secretary deemed objection able.

The two pamaraphs which Secretary Olcott ordered eliminated from Kullr ton'a statement and which refer to Mr. Fullerton' alleged activities relative to f h nnlvrrsttT are as follows: -He has worked to do away with the Immoral conditions at the unlTers.ty so that parents nilirht feel safe to send their sons and Saughters there, and If elected will lntrosluce a bill remedying ih nrtunt awful conditions. "11 Itiven the chance he will make the University of Oregon a fit place to end the youth of our state and do awar with the craft and rottenness that now exist.' Mr. FwUertew Pretests. The statement for Mr. Fullerton was submitted for the pamphlet over the names of W. J. Williams. Sam Uperes, Usrr A. Woods and E. B. Parks. Before elimiaatlnff the paragrapns referred to Secretary Olcott telephoned to Mr. Fullerton and explained his In tention of eliminating; the matter. Ful lerton protested and Secretary Olcott asked blm to advise with the people who signed the statement. Mr. Fuller- ton sal I later that be had seen three of them and they all protested against any f the matter being eliminated. "That Is what they paid for. they a.ldw" asserted Fullerton.

Adv. allies, and today those divisions which were in the sanguinary struggle re ceived a message commending them for the magnificent defense. Not only was the allied line virtually intact to day, but the latest reports show that the British, during the counter attack yesterday afternoon north of Kemmel, reclaimed considerable ground which the Germans had held since Kemmel was taken. At the crossroads between Scher-, penher? and Mont Rouge and about Locre the fighting was particularly fierce. Locre changed hands several times and at nightfall the Germans had a hold on the place. In their counter attack during the night, how ever, the French cleared the Germans from between the two hills and thrust them back from Locre, regaining ground for nearly a mile. The French, during the day, re pulsed many attacks on the initiative of officers commanding smaller units. Time and again French Captains or ganized counter thrusts and drovo the enemy back after they gained a foot ing in advanced positions. Attack Is Broken Up. The German attack against the British was from the southeast, to ward Ridge wood, between Dicken- bunch Lake and Voormezeele. At Ridge Wood, where the fighting was very bitter, tne Germans advanced with fixed bayonets, but cme under an intense machine gun fire and were never able to employ their steeL The work of the British troops all along the front was magnificent and especially noteworthy because some had been fighting steadily since April 9. They still had a hold on the north ern ridge of Voormezeele today, as they had at the beginning of yester day's assault. Their line also was maintained at Ridge Wood. Can Nests Cleared Out. The spirit of the British troops is shown by an incident on Sunday near Voormezeele. Three German machine gua companies were causing the Brit ish trouble. Three parties, each com posed of six Tommies and a lance cor poral, were assigned to clear up these posts. The corporals planned the campaign, which they carried out so successfully that the Germans were surrounded and 58 were raptured by 21 men. The machine gun posts were cleared. North of Kemmel the British and French, countering in conjunction, also pushed forward somewhat during the night and bettered their positions. At, one time yesterday the Germans actually had some men on the lower slopes of both Mont Rouge and the Scherpenberg, after they succeeded in driving a small wedge into the French line between these two elevations. Fierce fighting continued about Locre all day, and the enemy sac rificed great numbers of men in an attempt to push through here. In the meantime the flanks were holding brilliantly against successive shocks. A particularly bitter battle was waged astride the Kemmel La Clytte highway, near the junction of the French and British. Here the enemy tried his favorite trick of try ing to divide the two forces, but he found no weak spots. At Ridgewood, west of Voormezeele; heavy fighting also continued through out the day, the Germans losing great numbers of men, both killed and wounded. It is Impossible to say how many attacks the enemy made at this point during the course of the day. They came forward in waves through out long hours. There was no cessa tion of the terrible battle. The wonder is that the allied troops were able to hold in the face of such onslaughts by superior numbers. Big Gun Duel Terrible. The German artillery, which had been greatly augmented for this at tack, pounded the back areas inces santly, and the duel between the op posing guns of all calibers from Sat urday evening until last night was appalling. The British improved their position slightly before Villers-Bretonneux, The enemy artillery was very active in this region, and the enemy guns were increasingly busy from Vimy northward. - Thus far the German capture of Kemmel has done them little good, for the ajlied artillery has kept the crest of the hill so smothered with shell fire that it has been impossible for the enemy to occupy it in force. Yesterday's attack was the biggest effort the Germans have yet made in the Flanders offensive, the enemy employing about SO fresh battalions of reserves, in addition to the large number of divisions In position at the beginning of the battle. A satisfactory feature of the atruggle Is that the British and French em- Out Today "Indianola" Fox Trot "While the Is Burning" .

Counter Attack Is Saceeaa. By 11:30 o'clock In the morning; the Germans had forced their way through near Locre as far as Hyde Park Corner, between Scherpenberg; and Mont Rouge. This was one of the critical moments of the day. but the French counter attacked fiercely and an hour later nad pressed back the enemy on the Tank and held him In the -center. By 3 o'clock the French were holding the ground eaat of Kenderhet farm and Locre chateau and also part of Locre village, on the southern slope of Scherpenberg. Thenceforth the position became steadily more satisfactory, and by 5:30 o'clock the French had retaken all the lost ground except a narrow strip at Hyde Park Corner.

The allies are not eo well provided In this respect Ud to the present, however, the en emy has made little progress on either end of the line, but his menace has not been effaced. It Is known that th Germans, in spite of their losses, are very powerful and that fresh division are available for further big efforts, notwithstanding the fact that they al ready have thrown approximately 2.000,000 men Into the line.

Many divisions that have participated in the battles have been severely punished. Some estimates of their losses mount to as high as a half mil lion men. Conservative calculations, however, do not place - the losses beyond 850,000 men. The Germans have enough men in their depots in the interior to fill all gaps for some time, although reconstituted divisions never will be able to equal in fighting quality the original . formation, since large numbers of the men have been wounded and after recuperating again thrown into the line. Prisoners taken recently do not display the old-time feeling of certainty that the great blow, which has been so long prepared, will yield immediate and full success.
