EUGENE DAILY GUARD E E EUGENE THEATRE Thursday-Friday AUGUST y T 23-4 United States Forces Near Bat tleline Engaged in Last Stage of Training Before Entry In to Actual Warfare. (By Tin Attooiattd Prtts) American Training Camp iu France, Aug. 21. Training in some of the Amer ican battalions baa progressed to such a point thut ahum uttacka on the trench systems are being carried out with a (lc L're akin to actual warfare. Thus tar ar tillery fire baa been only theoretical but before long the troops expect to have the experience of watching the effect of real artillery upon the trenches. The marines are having some especial ly lively engagements this week with their French instructors. French chas seurs acting as the enemy hare been making attacks upon the marines trench system with Dewey, Farragut, Porter and Sampson trenches as the battle ob jectives. Tho French also have been at tempting to block and hold communica tion trenches known as Ohio, Missis sippi, Delaware and Potomac It will be seen that the marines trench nomencla ture is based upon the naval herocB and rivers of the United States. The marines huvo been making stout resistance and wherever the "enemy" penetrated their lines they organized n counter attack which quickly ejected the intruders. The real objoct of these pre liminary attacks is to get the officers and men acquainted with what are known at the front as operation orders. It is the first step toward learning the rudi ments of a highly organized part of mod ern warfare where every step and every detail is worked out in advance on a pre arranged plan and must be strictly ad hered to. Ono great difference from real war fare, however, is the fact that in battles with the marines the "enemy" has ac commodatingly allowed a copy of his op eration orders to fall into the hands of the defending garrison. This will be changed lator and the American garrison will be called upon to resist surprise attacks in force. Another valabie feature in sham bnt tio excrcisca Is In teaching Americans the great Importance of what is known as liaison work the maintenance of communication with supporting artillery, with flanking forces, with airplanes and with information centers. Attacks nro accompanied by a lively rocket display as 8. O. S. signals are sent up for de fending the curtain of fire from the artillery and calling reserves from com panies In support of the trenches. Tho rockets nro also used in the guise of artillery fire by shortening and length ening ranges, The evacuation of wound ed under theoretical shell fire Is another feature of sham battles which is receiv ing attention MAY UNDERGO OPERATIONS Mrs. N.

At bis request the visitors sang their rallying song, "Gascline," after which Reverend A- M. Spangler was introduced. Mr. Spangler took the floor as the champion of tbe much abused Ford car and kept the crowd iu a roar by bU witty sallies and funny stories. Ocorge II. Crombachcr, of Portland, was the next Bpeakcr. He is a dealer In lubricants In Portland and declared ho is in the party only by Buffo ranee, and is one of tho victims of the dealers. Ho was followed by 0. W. Griffin, of Eugene, who made a strong talk along good road lines and culled the especial at tention of the visitors to tbe Willamette military road, which be stated will, when Improved, enablo a man to eat his break fast in Klamath Falls and his dinner in Portland.

Mr. Wilkins stated that in addition to getting acquainted there were a few things which it was tbe desiro of tho members of the association to discuss with the people, and in which they de sired the assistance of the press of the state. One of these is the failure to observe the law compelling the dimming of lights. Many motor car owners, he said wcro not equipping their curs so that they can dim the lights. Others who have the dimmers full to respond to the signal of an approtichhig car, which by flickering Its lights shows that the driver asks thut the other enr dim its lamps, Mr. Wilkins stated that they met Eugene, cars on the road between Eugene and Junction City who were not obeying the law, and urged that tho district attorney prosecute all offenders. Another point which he heliovcd should 'bo taken up, is thut of the speed limit, lie believes thnt the speed limit in the stato should be HO miles, tho- same as in California and Washington instead of 25 miles. He claims thnt it is impossible to hold a car driver down to 25 miles on a straight away country road ond that It is unnecessary, whilo he believes thnt a limit of HO miles per hour could be enforced.
