The term of Dr. George Michaells as Imperial chancellor of Germany prom ises to be a short one. He will not last. As a "concea slon" and "compromlae" chancellor riven by the old government to the 2.S feet j liberal elements, he has all tn- polit ical qualifications of failure. With many excellent personal gualitles, ne has never been anything but an administrative official, though a very able one. and he Is largely an "offi cial" today. Politically he came into his higi office a "neutral.- with no known pronounced convictions on Way or the ottier, but conservative in i his tendencies.

The crown prince continues to throw the best German roops into battle ln a vain endeavor o win back his positions on the Alsne and in the Champagne. The French are displaying the same lenaclty and stoicism that gained them the Verdun victory, beating off every attack. The fighting Is of the most dettperate character, attack and coun ter-attack succeeding one another witn great rapidity, while the gun prepara tion la always of the most Intense sort. Saturday s assaults on the one miie front between Panthton farm and tn Chevregny spur was a "spite battle ordered by the German command. Thi French seized a number of valuable trenches here on July 30, and. accord ing to prisoners, the enemy staff had warned the Forty-third Keserve divi- ion that It would get no rest until it had regained the positions it had lost. After an all night bombardment three battalions, supported by two ad ditional companies of Stosstruppen (shock troops) and flame throwers, advanced on the battered trenches. But they encountered some of the finest French troops, the foot chas seurs, under command of General Brls saut Desamillet, who Inflicted a ter rible slaughter in savage hand to hand fighting. The battle lasted all day. Just be fore dark the French turned their special guns on a fragment of a trench where the enemy still had a precarious foothold and compelled its abandonment. A semi-official account says the de feated Sermans left behind heaps of corpses and many prisoners. "Nothing Special," Says Haig London, Aug. 13. (U. P.)

Britlsn artillery has been extremely well served, however, and attacks have been broken up with heavy losses. Brisk fighting Is still ln progress on the Alsne front, where the Germans made strong efforts to retake positions that would secure their line ln event a retreat in Flanders should become necessary.

Deer Season Cause Of Some Doubt Tohm Bay Sportsmen Uncertain as to Bat of Openlnr Attorney Qeneral Asked for an Opinion on Question. John Day, Or., Aug IS. Does tha deer season open east of the Cascades August 15 or September 1? This is a question being put to game wardens every day, and which District Oame Warden Hazeltine is unable to answer. Practically every newspaper ln Oregon has published that the season opens August IS, while the synopsis of tha game laws distributed by the state fish and game commission gives the open ing date as September 1. Mr. Hazeltine has wired the attor ney general and the state game war den for an official ruling. There is a strong sentiment among" sportsmen of this section that the multitude of game laws existing ln the state should be superseded by a coher ent game code, drawn up by competent, men who understand the needs of tha state. It la possible that some such legislation will be initiated by tha Union Rod and Gun club of Canyon City at the next session of the Oregon legislature. Canadian Going to Fight John Day. Or.. Aug. 13.
