Style of Americans Interests Hun Chiefs Copenhagen, Aug. 8. Field Marshal von Hindenburg thinks the German soldiers- could easily become accustomed to the American style of fighting. He is thus quoted in an interview with Berlin newspaper correspondents. Hindenburg's statement was a sort of supplement to an interview with Gen eral von Ludendorff in which the- for mer coincided. Ludendorff frankly admitted that the strategic attacking plan was not a success, but declared that Germany was still master of the situation. Certain territory had been evacuated according to plan, he said, which ofcourse would pe painful if it were German territory. " The allies' progress in the Marne re gion is not important, Ludendorff 'said, and will not affect the result of the war. 7i A New Watch!

Candidate Cannot Withdraw Salem, Aug.' 3. Albert Small, Repub lican nominee for representative from Union county, cannot withdraw his can didacy even if he wishes to, according to the decision of the Oregon supreme court in the case of Coovert vsL Olcott. 1 Because bf his pacifist views, Small has drawn - the Xire of- many citizens. R. J. Green, secretary of th Union county Republican central committee, says In a letter to " Secretary of State Olcott that Small has advised the com mittee that he will withdraw hjs candi- dacy. Mr. Green inquired wnetner a letter of withdrawal had been filed with tne secretary or state, ana also wnetner a candidate chosen by the central-committee- could have his name printed on the election ballot. . j .In reply. Secretary of State Olcott advised Green that no letter of with drawal has been filed, and that the second question is 'answered byj -the su preme court's opinion in Coovert vs. Olcott. In that case , the court dd that the only means whereby the - name of a candidate may be omitted from the ballot is in the event' of the death of , . . the candidate or his removal from the district. So as long as Small remains in the district another candidate cannot be named in his place. Insurance Men Organize Salem, Aug. 3.
