Thrilling land battlea bvtworn flee' of French and llritish tanka un one side and IIhmiii of tha Uormans on the other were recorded for the first time In history In the fierce striiKKlea be fore Amiens. For tho Americana, the battle of Birltheprcy waa everybody' fight cooks, at retclier bearers, slsnsl men and chaplain ioiniLg in a heroic bat tle, new details of which are revealed In the hospitals back of the lines. Von Hlnd'-nburg continued hi cease lit daughter of German manpower the past week by developing a double offensive toward Amiens and Ypres. No success of tactical importance re sulted from the Amiens operations,' but the capture of Mont Kemmel, In the northern area ot operations, bas emphasized the German threat against Ypres. The loss of Mont Kemmel bas evidently failed to disorganize In any way the allied resistance In the Ypres , region. The line, In fact, seem to have stiffened. Locre, west of Mont Kemmel, and Voormezeele, two mllea aoulh of Ypres, were the chief-points under attack by the Germane In their vain effort to develop their auccesa. New Missouri Senator Named. SL Iouis. Xenoplion K Wilfley, member of the St. Louis board rf elec tion commissioner and prominent democrat of Missouri, was tendered by Governor Gardner, and accepted, the aeat in the United States senate vacated by the death of Senator W. J. Stone. Wilfley Is the fourth man to be offered the aenatcrshlp by the gov ernor. Ambassador to Russia Francis was first offered the place, but Secre tary of State Lansing said that Fran cis was needed In UuBsla at this tfnie, and ho hoped he would not accept, f'hamp Clark, speaker of the house of representatives, next waa tendered the appointment, but he declined. Chief Justice W. V. Graves, of the Missouri supreme court, also declined the appointment. Cwlss Press Resents German Altitude Washington. Germany's attitude toward the small European neutral na tions, particularly Holland and Switz erland, bas caused sharp protests from the SwIbs press, according to an offi cial dispatch from France. The lure of Digit wages and the eight hour day In tho shipyards and sawmills Is causing a large number of farmer and homesteaders through out the Cooa Bay country to leave their land ami seek employment In these branches of industry. It la reported In some sections where the produc tion of the farms is limited and not sufficient to justify the hiring ot high priced farm labor, or where the home ateader has found It difficult to eke out a bare existence from the few land, that from 50 to 60 per cent of the farmers and homesteaders have disposed of thoir livestock, nailed up the buildings and left to seek work in the shipyards and sawmills. Oregon has S00 carloads of surplus potatoes, any $:S0,000 worth at retail, which will spoil by summer if not eaten. Our soldiers and the Allies on the blood-drenched fields of France must have "6,000,000 to 90,000,000 burhe'a of wheat between now and ha-vest or qu't fighting. Fotatos are cheap.

GERMANS HELD UP 4 ON FLANDERS LINE Enemy Advances to Threshold of Ypres Only to Be Hurled Back. . ... .on. Held by the dogged re ltaiire and lightning like thrusts of the Kranco-Brltlsn defenders, the Ger man drive toward Ypre from tba south was temporarily halted at tka very threshold of lhe city. Hlnden burg'a picked troops penetrated to tba ontakirta of Voormezeele, barely two mllea from Ypres. only to be burled back with ataggericg losses In a flercV struggle. The Cennsns were striking on tba entire Flanders tat tk front. Field Mar shal Haig reported. f. Successful counter attacks carried out by French troops drove tha enemy from the ground gained In the neigh borhood ot Locre and captured a num ber of prisoners. - The correspondents with the British army ajree that t)a enemy suffered aothlng less than a disastrous defeat In the first phase of the battle In hla desperate attempt to capture tha Una of hllla beld by the all lea which em danger his possession of Mont Kem mel. ... . The successful allied defense waa one of the bloodiest yet experienced by the enemy, aa attack after attack waa sriasbed by artillery and infantry fire. The Germans suffered heavily when their concentration ot troopa were caught and shattered by. gunfire. Their wavea were mowed down and the British wings and French center neither bent nor broke. ALLIES ADVANCE ON FRONT IN FiCARDY "With the French Army In France. Succesa crowned the efforts of the al lies east of Amlena on the Plcardy front Anglo-French force attacked in the neighborhood of Hansard, south ot the Somme river, and extended their line materially. Th Germans brought up reserve troops In an effort to stem Uie attacks, but were unable to "do so. Thla fighting centered around VII-lera-Bretonneux. The allied commander-in-chief de cided, when the Germane occupied Vlllers-Bretonneux and Hangard, that their continued possession by the en emy would endanger the security ot the line In front ot Amiens, and Im mediately sent forces with orders to recapture them. The attacks at theso points were executed with the greatest courage and success. Further north, where the Oermana gained Kemmel hill by the employment ut nine divisions, the allied commander-in-chief regarded It aa unneceasary to make the sacrifice which would have been entailed In regaining the lost territory, since tt la not essential to maintenance ot the allied positlona. tn thla way the allied reserves are spared Intact ior future us.. There Is confidence among; the alllea In the ability to hold the Germane wherever they choose to make a stand. -. , ' REICHSTAG IS DISSATISFIED Erronaoua Report on Zeebrugja Eventa Are Aaaailed.'
