Great Quantities i of Rifle Ammunition. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. General Pershing's communique today says that a partial count of the material cap tured during the last week by the American troops advancing between the Meuse and Argonne shows 120 guns of all calibers, 750 trench mortars, 300 machine guns, 100 heavy tank guns, thousands of artillery shells and hun dreds of thousands of rounds of small arms ammunition. WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES ON THE VERDUN FRONT, Oct. 2., 3:30 I'. M. (By the Associated Press.) Ger man artillery in the early hours freely sprinkled the areas behind the Amer ican lines with shells containing sneez ing gas and phosgene. Between the Meuse and the Moselle the Germans directed quite a concentrated artillery fire on the American positions. The nervousness of the enemy along the line indicates that he expects an attack. Knrmr Abandons Geaaes. American detachments entering Gla res, northwest of Montmaucon found it free of the enemy. The roads in the neighborhood of the village likewise were clear of Germans. One German airplane felt to Ameri can anti-aircraft guns and some 60 Austrians were captured In the Woevre sector. PARIS, Oct 2. (By tbe Associated Tress.) The developments in the sit uation on the American front north west of Verdun tends to confirm the opinion that it is the enemy's apparent intention to hold on to the Kriemhilde fHteelung system of trenches running from Brieullea to the Boise De Cunel, thence south to Gesnes, then south along the ridges in the vicinity of Ex ermont, crossing the Aire river one kil ometer north of Apremont. V. S. Airmen An Busy. The American line broadly conforms to this, developing a situation similar to St. Mihiel with a broad outpost zone. There is continuous artillery activity along this sector and the American air forces are working with out cessation. Last evening American pursuit planes engaged eight Fokkers and it is believed that one of the enemy's machines crashed. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct. 1. (By the Associated Press.) The situation on the American front along the Brieulle-Binarville line (running from the Meuse through the Argonne). remained virtually un charged today from yesterday. The Germans are hurrying up all available reserves. Iurlng the day, German airplanes be gun appearing over the American lines. The weather conditions were far from favorable for the airmen, but American aviators, with characteristic enterprise, more than held the tapper hand. During the day the chief activity of the Americans was in consolidating their positions in the face of the heavy counter attacks especially of the de batable ground north and west of Montfaucon. In the heavily wooded ground of the Argonne west of the for est itself, the fighting became bush wacking. in which the Americans, with their individual initiative, are second to none. Negro Troops in Action, The Argonne forest is being cleared of enemy troops by American soldiers from New York and Illinois. One of the American negro units also has partici pated. Illinois troops between the Meuse and the Argonne advanced more than eix miles on the flirst day of the attack, the unit reaching its objective hours ahead of time. Their advance was so rapid that in the region of Gercourt-et-Drillancourt they came upon a party of Germans just about to sit down to a luncheon in their dugout. The party was overcome and a German Colonel was shot in the heel as he was attempting to escape. The Illinois soldiers helped them selves to the Germans lunch of pork, red cabbage and black bread. Seven kegs of beer and a supply of wine were found in the dugout. The wounded Colonel told the officers he was astounded at the rapidity of the Amer ican advance. He had no idea that the Americans would reach that region for days, if at all, he said. The Illinois men had dinner and went to bed in the positions that had been occupied that morning by the enemy. During the afternoon, American aia- tors dropped newspapers and cigarettes for the men who had moved along the west bank of the Meuse beyond Ger court and consolidated their positions.

UNITY OF COMMAND PLAN IS PROVING ITS WORTH Presence of Single Directing Will Is What Makes Allied Arms Effective, Declares General Malleterre, War Expert. BT GENERAL TV M. G. MALLETERRE. Of the French Army. (Copyright 1918 by the Press Publishing Company, the New York World. Special cable dispatch.) PARIS, Oct. 1. Victories follow vic tories In such rapid succession and events come to pass so quickly that It becomes difficult for a critic to fur nish a. resume of them in a few lines. Moreover, the communiques seem suf ficient without any comment. Yet wo may notice a factor which we may qualify as new. The whole of these victorious operations, indeed. constitute a general allied offensive on all fronts. One must go back to the Summer of 1916 to find a situation which resembles a general allied offen sive. This was after the German defeat at Verdun. The British armies attacked on the Somme, Brusiloffs armies attacked in Galicia, the Italian army had taken Gorizia and scaled the redoubtable Carso and Roumania had Just come Into line. We then had high hopes of victory, b'ut Germany was etill too strong. The allies were short of the essential factor for victory unity of command in the conduct of the war. Directing Will Essential. Battles lacking a directing will to bring the forces into absolute accord remained unfruitful In any theater of the war. The allies could not find the necessary chief to oppose Von Hinden- burg. Today that chief is here, the dif ference is readily seen. What are the hard battles of the Summer of 1916 as compared with the battles of the Summer of 1918? The gigantic battle, started on March '21, by the German offensive, continues without respite or truce along Foch'a entire battle line In France and Bel- glum. The whole front Is afire. The whole British army from Douai to St. Quentin is moving. In several sectors Uw Hindenburg line has broken. Recent engagements have brought the British line close to Cambrai. It is probable that within a short while the calm sector around Lens, the Little Ypres and the Yser will re awaken in their turn. Hlndenbarg Line Cracking. Fayolle's aroup of armies is routing the Germans near St. Quentin and on the Aisne. Now Gouraud's army, sup ported by the first American Army, has in turn attacked. On both sides of the Argonne the Hindenburg line is crack ing. The battle rages on a front the width of which has never before been equaled, from Douai to Verdun. It will- spread yet further. Its chief TWO JAILED FOR SEDITION Men of German Descent Taken by Jackson County Offi6ers. MEDFORD, Or.. Oct. I. (Special.) Two seditious utterance arrests were made in Jackson County within the past 14 hours. Both of the prisoners are of German descent and one of them the officers found a loaded revolver and a small bag of cartridges The prisoners are Marvin Jack sou Vedder, 35 years old, laborer and Socialist, and Rolph Bieberstadt. 31 years eld and single, who is registered for the draft. lie resides with his parents on the Bieberstadt ranch in the Kagle Point district.. Vedder, who came here recently from California, was arrested at the H. W Bingham ranch, where he had been em ployed for the past two days. characteristic is its continuity. Foch gives Ludendorff no rest. The disposition of the German armies appears to be as follows: Von Boehm's army, its right" resting on the Crown Prince's group and Its left on Prince Rupprecht'a group. Is opposed to the Knglish army and Fayolle's group. The greater part of the German reserves are included there. In the nortly Rupprecht s reduced army is fighting in Inlanders. In the center the Crown Prince, whose armies also appear to have been reduced, faces the music in the Champagne and about Verdun. It is probable that Ludendorff will let him have some of the available reserves. Allien Near Hon Empire. There remains the German left wing. The Woevre-Metz-Alsace strength, which rei.iains a subject for caution, has before It the American Army and our Lorraine army. There we are on the threshold of the German empire. There are located the shortest routes for entering German territory. If an attack threatens the Germans in these parts there Is no doubt that the Germans will defend themselves desperately. But they will have to let go in some other sector in the north, in the Oise region or in the Champagne. There will be further results in the near future of the general allied offensive In France. Let us wait a few days. Near Kail Also Afire. But Foch's battles are being fought elsewhere than in France. The near east also '.s afire. The Bulgarian defeat in Macedonia and the Turkish defeat in Palestine are taking on grandiose proportions and opening up a large perspective. The whole German plan founders in the near east. Bulgaria vainly calls to Germany for help. What can Von Mackensen do? What can Ludcndorff do? Sofia now shows the white flag. Bulgaria opened h.r roads to Serbia, Greece and Con stantinople to the Germans and now she must close them. The key to them is In Sofia. It must be in allied hands, as Sofia is an essential guarantee to the military situation in the Balkans. Turkey's Fall Assured. There remain the Turks. They will not be long in capitulating, as the Sofia-Constantinople road will be barred. No more Germans In Constan tinople, no more young Turks, no more Knver Pasha. Then the roads to- the Straits will be open and with Constan tinople in allied hands the salvation of Russia and Roumania will be assured. Russia also must be considered in the general allied offensive. Our action there is still distant, but we can see what will happen after the capltu-lation-of Bulgaria and Turkey.

Perhaps, like thousands of others afflicted with Catarrh, you are about ready to believe that the disease is incurable and that you are doomed to spend the remainder of your days hawking and spitting, wtth no re lief in sight from inflamed and stopped up air passages that make the days miserable and the nights sleepless. Of course this all depends upon whether or not you are willing to con tinue the old-time, makeshift methods of treatment that you and many other sufferers have used for years with no substantial results. If you are still con tent to depend upon the use of sprays; douches, inhalers, jellies and other like remedies by themselves, that are applied to the surface and cannot reach below it, then make up your mind now that your Catarrh -will remain a life com panion and will follow you to the grave. You must realise that the disease itself, and not it symptoms, is what you have to cure. Of course you know that when you are cured of any disease Its symptoms will disappear. Catarrh manifests Itself by Inflammation of the delicate membranes of the nose and air passages, which chok up and make breathing very difficult. To get rid of these distressing effects you must remove their cause. The blood is laden with the Catarrh germs, which direct their attack against the tender and delicate membranes of the nose and throat. These germs cannot be reached by sprays er douches, which, of course, have, no effect whatever upon the blood. & S. 8. Is a purely vegetable blood remedy, made from roots and herbs di rect from the forest, which combat promptly and disease germs or impuri ties in the blood. This great remedy has been used for mofe than fifty years with most satisfactory results. It has been successfully used by those afflicted with even the severest case of Catarrh, because it drives out from the blood th Catarrh germs and eliminates every for eign substance from the blood. 6.
