Amrricnn Daily Mail Says Ore
gon Hoy Prove Mettle in Battle
ADVANCE 5 MILES IN OPEN
Unit Never Before Under Fire
Fight Two Divisions to Standstill
J.lriit. Dr. J. It. DiiiMiinr;, of Or
Liiro ami llll.slmro, recently Hi nt
the Aiih an edition of I i it- Paris
Daily Mail, dated Oct. 2, and il
reached Ilillslioro in just lit) dityn
lifter it was published. l.ieut.
Din.smorr write: "No place like
Ori'Koii," mid tin; following rlip
piiitf from thr Mail kIiown what
they think of Oregon, nnd what
Oregon can do under lire:
"The great events in Cham
pagne and in the imrth, in w hich
the Americans take a vrry keen
interest, have completely over
shadowed their own efforts to the
west nf Verdun. Vet it must be
remembered that the Americans
are playing mi important pari in
the lifltliiig, even if this merely
consists iu retaining opposite lo
their sectors a certain number of
(irriiian divisions that'niight'oth
rrwisr In transferred to nny of
(he now artivr fronts.
"The A nieriemis, however, had
no intention nf Kitting still, and
there Is little doubt that the (Jer
mans opposing theni are in tlilli
culties. How well the Aiiierieiin
have In i n lighting recently is il
Inst rated by the w ork of n certain
in it the majority of whose troops
bail from Oregon.
"This unit had never been un
der lire In -fore -starling from jusl
to tin cast nf V'aiiipinis. It astoii
isbed the w hnle army by .nil am
in if to the extent of 5 ' miles ill
the lirst day of the drive. Vrry
and I'.piuonville fell to il, while it
met and tlefeated one of the
(iiiards divisions n the way, and
thru auaiii fought with nnolhrr
Guards division held in support.
"Apparently it progress was
irresistible. It reached and fongltt
mi that formidable system of de
femes, the north Ilog.in Stt lluittr.
and despite all the macliiile-giiil
lire and counter attacks that the
Germans in their desperation
threw at il. held tenaciously to its
gains, refusing to yield unythiii!;
nndrr pressure, and only finally
willidrawinu.il very short dis
tance iu conformity with the rest
of the line.
"Yet its task Van far from ea
sy. The men bad. to wade through
the I'ois de Chi ppy and the Puis
de Very, mid then ascend the
slopes just south nf l'.piiiotivilb'.
Thai liny, a unit without Ihr
slightest experience, and . nunc
ipiaiiited w ilh the sound of t Ind
ict and shells, rnnld accomplish
their mission w ilh surli speed and
decisiveness forms a fine lesti
inonid to Ibe qualities of the
fighting men now arriving from
America."
RAISE MORE SHEEP
Never was there such a demand
for wool as at present.
In I ! 1 T the V. S. imported hun
dreds of millions of pounds ,from
Soiilh America. Countries that
l.ever shipped us a pound before
shipped us millions of pounds.
If all the wool raised in thr l;.
k. wrrr suitable for military use,
which it is not it would be rtiough
for only half of thr 4.000.000
men we soon expect to have un
tin arms.
Civilian requirements will de
pend for ix long time on shoddy
nnd rrjeetrd army stork.
Think of it ! Was there rvor
snrh an opportunity to develop
the wool industry in this stale. It
means millions to Oregon. It
means new industries and it
means prosperity for thr fanners.
In addition to men making a
specialty of sheep raising on a
lnrgr scale, every farm should
raise its flock of sheep as n patri
nlic duty. Get busy now, not next
year.
