LIQUOR MINE DRAWS

(By United Press to th Bend Bulletin)
MARSHF1ELD, Ore., May 25.
The only liquor mine In the state
of Oregon la located at Bastendorft'a
beach, ' a mile this aide of Arago
lighthouse. ' It has yielded up many
a quart of prohibition solace and,
'tis said, many a quart of mellow
liquor remains.
Thla la the way liquor Is mined.
The miner waits until the tide goes
out and then be carefully walks over
the level stretch of shining beach.
Perhaps be will see the neck or the
side of a bottle sticking op from
the black sand, whose yield of prec
ious substances a few months ago
was confined to gold and platinum.
If the seeker after hidden treasure
Is not so fortunate, he will dig In
the sand at the water'a edge, and
In time, sweet dreams of Omar!
he'll uncover the precious goods.
The liquor was lost from the Santa
Clara when she grounded off the
Arngo lighthouse. Large quantities
of beer and whiskey were strewn
along the beach.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 25.
Russia is out of the war for the next
two years, as far as being an effective
military power is concerned. France
is close to the end from the stand
point of man power. This Is the
opinion of American military men.
and students of reports by American
military observers.
Great Britain has considerable
"punch" left, but the struggle Is now
reaching the point where the United
States' must bear the main burden.
American experts believe that the
war will last for a long time. The
first half million men to be called
out by the draft wilt be a mere "drop
in tbe bucket," :and other vast In
crements must follow.
Experts assert that the struggle
on the western front is misinterpret
ed, and Is being unreliably reported.'
In the main, the American people
have been led astray by the reports
of fighting given out for several
months pest. The Allies,, it is de
clared,, have by no means made the
headway which .has been reported
here. . ;''
