DISCONTENT IN HUN RANKS GROWS German Milita Power Declared on Toboggan, But Boche Long Way From Beaten. By Bert Ford With the British Army In France. Aug. 7. 4 p. m. (L N. S.) Evidence of dis satisfaction In the German ranks Is ac cumulating dally. Germany's military power has passed the xenlth and Is ou the toboggan, ac cording to the opinion of military ex perts. The turning of the tide came with the allied counter offensive on the Mama. But It is a mistake to think that the boche is defeated, war experts say. The enemy still has strong punches left but he Is tottering under the allied blows. - German's strength is declining weekly as the man power and resources of the allies grow and Americans arrive on the western front in increasing numbers. The Germans are losing confidence. Extracts taken from the diary of a captured German officer form a chorus Of complaints. He declared he was getting men in the late drafts with hardly any training and that "the peo ple at home were taking things horribly easy." While the German was writing 17 silled airplanes were dropping bombs on German ammunition dumps but no Army Cook Wished Whiskers Dolled; Bucked at Price James Griffith, civilian army cook at Camp Levls, Wednesday resented a charge of $4.75 which a Burnside street barber imposed for dyeing his mustache black. Griffith admitted to the police when he made the com plaint that his wish to look younger was inspired by the many pretty girls who visit the cantonment. Charges of larceny now rest against P. . Adhaseff, .. who, Griffith says, is a Bulgarian. "I never , paid more than 40 cents to have my whiskers dyed before," explained Griffith- German machine pu in an appearance to give Datue. One of the-chief complaints was about the German air service and It was de clared that German aviators themselvet are now admitting that the allies are superior In the sky. The diary continues: "Ons Tommy we call the trench In spector drops two bombs svery morn' Ing. regularly disrupting the mess. How can a handful of mannikins hold off a Stout enemy? The Germans never learn common sense. We hav lost our best men and those that are (eft cannot be trusted. There are many shirkers. It has been enough to break the heart to see the fine fellows go down. Egg Dealers to Heet At the request of the egg dealers, i meting wDl be called by the foot ad ministration In the near future to standardize grade quotations through out the city. This will in no way af fect egg prices, said W. ; K. Newell. assistant food administrator, i Exact time- and place of - the meeting have not been determined. , - Promptness Urged On Selective Boards In asking all local boards In the state to submit a class 1 report August 18, Captain J. E. . Cullison. head of the selective service in Oregon, has outlined to the members of the boards their par- ucuir luircuun ana ineir extreme im portance In building the army. Failure to deliver men on time hampers the work greatly and the shortage of five men. although U may appear small to a local board, would mean a total short age of 22.785 men should these condi tions exist throughout the country. Boards are requested to" speed up the classification and physical examination of the registrants of the June, 1918, class. DANCING TONIGHT KINSLSA'S COTILLION MALL 1STIj:T Off WASH.
